~ Originally from Beaumont, TX. Have been active in genealogy since 1982, learning from my mother who started in 1962. Photographing cemeteries has always been a hobby of mine and I have photographed graves in various states over the years. My 2 favorites are New Mexico for its old west feel and of course Glenwood Cemetery here in Houston. My direct lines go back to 1649 Capt David Peebles. I have 7 proven American Revolutionary War ancestors Collinsworth, Dover, 2-Hardin ancestors, Lawson, Perrin, Ratliff.

Other surnames: Adams, Bell, Butcher, Cross, Hankins, Hardin, Holtzclaw, Jones, Joplin, Lyons, Noeller, Pate, Perrin, P'Pool (Pettypool), Purvis, Rodgers, Saxon, Springate, Weatherford, Wilkinson, Wooten,

NOTE ABOUT CORRECTIONS/SUGGESTIONS: Some people will send me info they want added. That is fine. If you are a Find A Grave volunteer/member and you have your email and your comment section closed (in other words, I have NO way to contact you if I have questions, etc) then your info will be taken under advisement only. Please don't get mad, If I can't communicate with you. I always try to connect family members, usually from an obituary but the farther back you go, the harder it becomes to prove the connection.

***NOTE ABOUT TRANSFERS***: If you wish to take over a memorial, please go to that memorial, click the "suggest a correction" tab and send the message that you would like to take it over. Unless it is my family, I will transfer it to you. Requesting this way makes it easier for me to have your ID number and the memorial number together.

+Recent Cremations: I post these because every person deserves a memorial, even those cremated. My own daughter was cremated. I will CHEERFULLY transfer the management of your loved one's memorial. Please just make a request.
