OK, to get this started I’ll post this…
This last week I’ve been chasing Melinda Cox Eaton and her family. I found a transcription on the Shackelord County GenWeb site of burials in Moran Cemetery in Moran, Tx. the following Eatons were listed:

Eaton, Danny 1908 1910 B-11
Eaton, Ermon D 1892 1958 B-11
Eaton, Eva M 1893 1979 B-11
Eaton, Infant 1916 1916 B-11
Eaton, John Elmer 1914 1933 B-11
Eaton, Lola Pearl 1912 1915 B-11
Eaton, Melinda E 1861 1928 B-22
Eaton, Silas T 1889 1963 B-11
Eaton, Thomas G 1856 1915 B-11

…Where has the year gone.

If anyone is checking this site…Have Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I have been spending my free time lately concentrating on my Boyd line again. I have been spending a lot of time familiarizing myself with the Boyd Families in the online records available for both North and South Carolina for the decades of the 1790′s through the 1830′s. I do not know if any of them will be related, but, I always feel better if I am familiar with the territory I am searching.

So far, I have found references to both the Silas and the Wilson given names that show up later in my line…Unfortunately, the Boyd’s while not common were fairly well represented in both states.

I just received word that my cousin Jim Boyd was elected President of the Boerne Genealogical Society, congratulations cous.

It has been a long (and here in Texas, a HOT) fall. Yesterday brought an end to the unseasonable weather and the election season. Maybe this will allow a return to sanity on my part along with a return to the hunt for lost ancestors…I look forward to the hunt.

It has been an extremely busy time for me at work the past couple of weeks. Long hours and full weeks, and it looks like it will continue for a couple of more weeks yet. Therefore… there will be no updates on anything for a few weeks.

I did spot a reference to this site in the RootsWeb Review, which explains the recent spate of emails I have been getting. A word to anyone who may be emailing me in the upcoming couple of weeks… I will probably be slow in answering as I will be away from a computer for most of the time.

I did take a look at a link to the South Carolina Archives which has a great search feature. Check it out here
