I am interested in finding out information on the BURNS Family and HUBBARD family from Bowie County. I am really
interested in information on my father people. Elias BURNS and Mary PEACOCK and the HUBBARD family. From my
understanding some of them are buried in Ceder Springs and Ceder Grove. However, I live in Illinois and it is somewhat
difficult to find out anything. I am sure it is a lot of history in the above mentioned cemeteries and also from my
understanding, once upon a time a cemetery was named after the BURNS family. If someone read this message I would
appreciate it very much if you could walk through the cemeteries and record the names and dates of birth and death of
all the BURNS and HUBBARD s that are buried in the above memtioned cemeteries. Thank you very much. I understand that it
was a school named after the BURNS in Hooks, TX. Any help I would certainly appreciate.
