RABB, STEPHENS posted by Jacquelyn Fitzgerald on Sunday, November 2, 1997

I have been told by my family historians that Mandi/Mandy (Amanda?) RABB, who was reputed to be a full blooded Comanche was married to the STEPHENS for which the city of Stephenville is named. This statement has never been verified, and I hope to either dispell it or prove it. Can anyone answer this question? Was Mr. STEPHENS for which the town was named, ever married to a woman named Mandi/Mandy RABB? I would appreciate any assistance anyone can give. Sincerely, Jacquelyn Fitzgerald.

HANKINS posted by Jerre Gheen on Sunday, November 9, 1997

I am searching for the records of an Erath Cemetery. It is an old one located in what use to be the town of Thurber. It was locked when I was up there, however, I feel that somewhere there is a list of who is buried there. I believe my great grandfather and some of his children are in that cemetery. How can I get a list of them? I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me. The last name is HANKINS and the only name that I have for that great grandfather is "Ace" which I feel is a nick name. Is there anywhere on the internet that I can go to retreive this list? Thank you in advance. Jerre

ALLEN, CREIGHTON posted by Paul & Marj Rigney on Sunday, November 16, 1997

We are doing research on my wife's GGrandfather, Drury ALLEN, b. 20 May 1806 d. 13 Apr 1908 in Stephenville. He moved to that area around 1880 from Thomasville AL. Drury is buried in the Pilot Knob Cemetery outside Stephenville. His daughter, Amanda ALLEN CREIGHTON, is my wife's grandmother. We are interested in any other possible info you may have on the ALLENS in that area. We have no idea why he moved there at 74 years of age or who he stayed with until his death. We are also trying to determine his place of birth. If you can help with any of this information it would be appreciated. Paul & Marj Rigney Sarasota Fl.
