KENDALL
Betty (ksroots3@aol.com) 23 June 2008
I am looking for information on the Elijah S. KENDALL family who lived in Comanche county between 1884 and 1886. They had two infants who died in that county. I don't know their names. They lived in or near Rumseyville, which no longer exists. Can anyone tell me what town Rumseyville was near? What cemeteries would be near there? Was there a newspaper in Comanche County during that time period? Elijah KENDALL was a printer who often worked for newspapers. I would like to know the names of the infants or any other information about the family.

One of them was my mother. Pictures of the town, of him, of anything would be especially helpful. Info on the pharmacy, on the news of the day etc too.

DONELL
Orville Mills (omills@houston.rr.com) 13 August 2006
My Great-Grandfather William DONELL and family are listed in the Comanche County 1880 Census on page 4. I am interested in learning where in the county they lived. Names of those listed near them in the census are GRAVES, MANSFIELD, HOBBS, WEEKS, SMALLWOOD, DERICK, ROSS, HERD and FEATER. I am guessing if I can learn where any of these people lived I can surmise my family may have lived near.
