Looking for information on a George W. CRUNK born 1811 in Tennessee, married a Margaret
maiden name unknown born 1824 in Tennessee. They were married 1843 in Tennessee. One son
William Crunk born in Tennessee 1845, a son John R. Crunk born 1847 and a daughter Mary
Delila Crunk born 1849 in Hot Springs County, Arkansas. One son James A. Crunk born in 1851.
I do not know what happened to George but I believe my have come to Caldwell County, Texas.
I also believe he is buried there. His wife Margaret remarried in 1854 to Eli FENTOR, in the 1860
census of Arkansas, she was listed with Eli Fentor, had three children by him, and the Crunk
children were listed with her. Any information on this family would be very helpful. Thank You,
Virgil and Phyllis Crunk

Sibyl/Francis GRAY- All I have is a picture that was made in the 1900's. I'm anxious to know
who she is and who her parents, gr parents, etc. were. I know she was a member of my family,
possible in the Emanuel (Manuel) Gray or George Gray lines who came to Caldwell County
in the late 1800's. They were both nephews of Robert A. Gray who came to the county in the
late 1840's or early 1850's. Will share any information I have on the Gray and allied lines.

My great grandmother was Mary Isabella Joana MILLER born 12-14-1861 in Indiana. I don't
know who her parents were or when they came to Texas. I do know she was married twice . I
found a Mary Miller married a John S.ELLISON in Caldwell County Jan. 25,1877. Could this be
my Mary Miller? She then married my great grandfather in 1881, I think in Bastrop County,Texas.
