Chaves County Queries - Jan 06-Jan 07

I would please like to be contacted by the descendants of Mrs.. Ora CARLTON SCHRADLE who was living in Roswell, New Mexico in 1967. She was a cousin of my father, Mr. Adelphia Dane CARLTON BOWEN, Sr., who is buired in Mt. Zion Cemetery near Lingleville, Erath County, Texas.

Ora CARLTON SCHRADLE was born October 3, 1892 in Stephenville, Erath County Texas. Ora CARLTON was first married to James T. DICKIE who died in 1936, and second to James J. SCHRADLE of Austin, Minnesota who died around 1962.

Ora CARLTON had two daughters: Mary C. DICKIE (Mrs. Charles S. SNYDER) and Laura DICKIE (Mrs. John V. MUELKER)..

Ora CARLTON SCHRADLE's father, William Thomas CARLTON, died in 1934 and is buried in Harlingen, Texas. Her mother was Laura E. WHITTAKER CARLTON who died in 1907 and is buried in the East End Cemetery in Lingleville, Erath Coutny, Texas.

My paternal grandmother, Elvy PARLEE CARLTON (Mrs. Daniel HARRISON BOWEN) was a sister of William CARLTON. The parents of William CARLTON and Elvy CARLTON BOWEN were Blake CARLTON, born in Georgia, died in 1911 in Frederick, Okalahoma, and Mary E. RICHEY CARLTON, born in Texas, died in 1906 in Fort Worth, Texas. Blake an Mary CARLTON are buried in the East End Cemetery In Lingleville, Texas.

iN 1953 when I was a professor at Texas A&M University in Kingsville, Texas, Ora CARLTON SCHRADLE visited me and gave me a book she had written: The Carlton Clan from 1066 to 1954. I have done much research on the CARLTON family in recent yars, and would like to share this information with the children and randchildren of Ora CARLTON SCHRADLE.

BENSON	Submitter: Judy Womack altolady33 @aol.com Date: 13 January 2006
	I'm looking for any info on William H. BENSON shown in the 1900 census for Chaves Co., Portales. The census shows William H. BENSON , age 53, b. Oct., 1846, b. Ohio. Wife Callie, 26, b. Texas Child Rebecca, age 10 (probably step-child). I believe this William Benson to be the same William Benson shown in the 1880 census for Lubbock County. I would appreciate any help.

	William W. ANDERSON was born in 1855 in TX, married Nancy F. DUNCAN, 28 November 1878 in Navarro Co., TX. They moved to Lincoln Co., NM about 1885. In the 1900 census, William ANDERSON is listed as a gardener at Fort Stanton in Lincoln Co. In the 1910 census William is living at 900 N. Kansas in Roswell, Chaves Co. At this time he is listed as a real estate agent. William and Nancy had four children: Levi C., born 1883 in TX, Walter H. born 1887 in NM, Ada A. born 1892 in NM, and Roberta born 1894 in NM. They also had four children who did not survive. I am trying to locate the dates of death for William and Nancy, and the marriages of their four children. I have not located them in the 1920 census.

COX/HEMPHILL	Submitter: Nellie NellieEvr@aol.com Date: 22 March 2006
	I am looking for information about where my grandmother, Rose Hattie COX HEMPHILL is buried. What info I could get from family members states that Grandmother Rose is buried in Lake Arthur Cemetery where her parents and child named Leslie is buried. She passed away in 1943 at the age of 39. She had a son that passed just a week after she gave birth to him. I am not sure what his name is, but from my understanding, he is buried in the cemetery there in Roswell. His surname is HEMPHILL. I would like to find my grandmother's grave. My grandfather was William Andrew COX (called "Jack" by most people), and my grandmother was Meady WILLIAMSON COX. The grandchild buried with them was a twin, Leslie COX.

I would also like any information about this family that may exist for the time that they were in New Mexico.

Husband, Garland W. (?) LIVINGSTON, age 23 at last birthday. Living at Las Animas Station, Hidalgo, Texas. Age at first marriage--Lena, 16 years. This would make the marriage date 1929 for Lena and Garland LIVINGSTON. Her parents are listed in the 1920 census as Andrew SMITH, birth about 1872, and Adele SMITH, East Plains, Chaves County, New Mexico. Her parents are listed in the 1930 census as Andrew and Adela SMITH living in Roswell, Chaves, New Mexico. I have searched Luna, Grant and Hidalgo Counties in New Mexico, and have found nothing. Maybe they married at her parents' home in Roswell? I appreciate any information on Lena Adeline SMITH and Garland Lindford (or W.) LIVINGSTON. If there is a record of her death, I need to find this also. Lorina Merril Phone: 520-720-4736 142 N. Sibyl Rd. St. David, AZ 85630
