I'm searching for information on the family of John W. DUNN b. ca 1852/53 in Texarkana. The W. in his name might
stand for William as he named one of his daughters Willie. He was in Dunklin Co., MO at least by 1878 as that is when he
married Millie BENNETT. They were in Dunklin Co. 1900 Census with ch: Sarah Francis, Girtie, Thos A. and Willie(f). This
census indicates John W.'s father b. TN, mother, AR but I don't know who they are. Willie and Sarah F. m. in Craighead
Co., AR right over the border. I'm not sure where his family would be in early 1850's into 1860 and even 1870 because of
the Ark. Terr/Miller/Bowie boundary issues. Would very much appreciate information on the DUNN surname. Reply to
iwallace@got.net.

GOODMAN, Henry Clay. The only information I have on Henry Clay is that he was born in what is now Bowie County at
Boston, TX. His mother's name was Mary and shortly before Henry Clay was born his father (name unknown)he died, shortly
after he was born his mother brought him to Robinson Springs, AL to what was then Autauga County, AL. Am trying to find
his father's name, why they came to Robinson Cprings, AL., his mother's maiden name, if he had any siblings, and where
his parents were married and where they came from to Texas. I have information since they came to AL except where they
were in 1850. I cannot find them on the 1850 censius. IN 1853 Mary married a minister, Jesse ELLIS, in Autauga County,
AL. Henry Clay served in C.S.A. for two terms. (Was wounded and discharged and enlisted again). Any information anyone
can supply, any hint, would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much, VenaA@aol.com

DUKE, W. E born 1815 or a little after in Tennessee. First name may be Woodson and if so, may have a brother named
Pleasant Duke. I believe that there is a Woodson E. Duke, who arrived in Texas in May 1836, and is on the 1850 Bowie
County census with a wife and a child about 2 months old. Then on the 1860 census, there is a W. E. Duke married to a
Sarah (perhaps NORFLEET) with child Lucy Norfleet Duke. They later had Fanny Duke around 1861 but I do not believe she
survived to adulthood. I believe that W. E. Duke was on the 1870 census in Red River County, Texas. W. E. Duke died
sometime after 1870 probably in Texas. He married Sarah (perhaps Norfleet) in 1857 or 1858. My Lucy Norfleet Duke (
COGDELL ) was born January 12, 1858 in (New) Baston, Bowie County. Sarah (perhaps Norfleet), W. E. Duke'S wife, was born
in 1840 in Tennessee. Norfleet is the middle name for children in the next two generations. Lucy Norfleet Duke Cogdell'S
1924 obituary from Hood County states t! ! hat she came from an "old, arist oratic southern family who lost everything
during the Civil War". Would love to have an email telling me that soneone has proof that Woodson E. Duke and W. E. Duke
are the same person. Joann in Alaska
