End of a Name!

So in the last post we learned that our family was a part of the war!  Wow that is so cool! 

      Ok sorry I like history, especially if it involves our family!!  Awsome!

Ok now that I am back on track.  Where did we leave off? 

George Foster Parsons.  He is not the one that changed his name.  He married Susannah Hannah Lawrence in 1878. Together they had 3 kids that I can see right now. 

 

      Truman 1881-

      George Edwin   1887-1940

      Don D 1889-

 

Just a little back story to keep y’all coming back…George Foster Parson and his wife, after marriage, moved to Texas from Missouri.  Shortly after moving he became the County Commissioner for his district.   (See Photo)

 

So moving on…George Edwin…sometime before he married Sallie Robers he changed his name to Dupree.  It is still unknown as to why he would take his grandmothers name, some speculate that maybe he ran into some trouble and the law was looking for a George Edwin Parsons, but who knows, it’s just speculation. 

 

He and Sallie had several kids. 

 

      Albert 1905-1988

      Nora 1909-1985

      Allene 1911-2006

      Nita 1913-1985

      Thelma 1916-1996

      Huberta 1921-2002

      Etta Mae 1924-1998

      Everet 1926-

      Gene 1928-1998

 

So from there we go our own separate ways….Glad that you all read what I had to say and if you have any questions PLEASE ask!  Happy Hunting!

 

Oh and as for the question about the Deaths of Joseph and Daniel…They both died in war on the same day.  They were fighting together.  Neat right……
