I am looking for the Avery family members. William and Elizabeth moved to Saint Tammany Parish sometime in the late 1860s. I found the family in tact in the 1880 census. William was 50 and Elizabeth was 54. His children were Simeon a son (later changed to Simon) age 20, daughter Rebecca age 17, Son Everitt age 16, daughter Anise age 10, and daughter Jennette (or Jannette). I found William again in the 1900 census at age 70 living with Jennette's family. She married Ellis Scrandell. Elizabeth must have been deceased at that time, because William was listed as a widower. I am a descendant of Simon Avery. He married Emerline Lewis about 1888, but they divorced sometime prior to 1910. I have reason to believe that he may have married a couple more times after their divorce. If anyone has any information regarding any of these persons, I would appreciate an e mail. My e mail address is DoloresKWoods@aol.com. Thanks

Bruce Lowell GILHOUSEN (b. 5 May 1916, d. 23 Dec. 1997, buried in Biloxi Nat'l Cemetery). SSDI shows a listing for Tessie GILHOUSEN (b. 1 Dec 1916, d. 9 Dec 2003), which I presume to be his wife. Bruce L. GILHOUSEN was the son of Albert Andrew and Eva Gertrude (LAMAREUX) GILHOUSEN of Los Angeles. I have no information on whether he had children of his own.
Both are listed in SSDI as having a last known address of Slidell, St. Tammany Parish, LA.
I am researching the Gilhousen Family History and Genealogy, and would appreciate hearing from any living relatives, or anyone who might provide assistance in further identifying these individuals. A "lookup" for an Obituary on either Bruce L. or Tessie would be especially helpful, since my residence in Wisconsin is at such great distance that I do not know when, and if, I may ever be able to do such research in person. Thank you, John-Mark

My husband's family came to Texas in the early 1830s. They came from Louisiana. My husband's great great grandfather was William N. Barker wife Alitia Humble in Oachita Par.. His father was Britton Barker wife Celia Watts. Brittons brothers were Burrel, Samuel, Eldred/Eldrid, William, Edmund, Eli etc I do not know them all. Do you see any connection... Seems their mother was Isabell or Isabella Barker widow who married a Samuel Stout in abotu 1794 seems there was a witness name Guiermo Barker. They all seemed to be in Felicana Par., St Tammany Par and Oach. Par. Also Francis Marion Brown also came to Texas in early 1830's with his mother I believe. He married Rebecca Parker. Her father Jesse Parker also came in from Louisiana, he had married William Barker's sister Elizabeth Barker (second wife). Also interested in Browns And Jesse Parker came to Texas and married William Barker's sister Elizabeth Barker... Jesse had been married before and has 12 children by first wife, Sarah (Wiley?). I believe Jesse was in Texas by 1828. Does anyone have information concerning these families?

Desmond Cemetery
Amy Chouest-Crosby
crosbya@mac.com 12/08/2005
We are in the process of purchasing some property in Folsom. There is a very run down cemetery on the property. It looks to only have about 4 or 5 tombs there. Only 3 of the headstones are readable. I found out that the name of the cemetery is the Desmond Cemetery. The last info written about it was in 1976 by Doris Holden. She states that there are at lest 10-12 graves there. Are you familiar with how I may be able to obtain old photos of the cemetery? I 'm enclosing pics of the 3 stones that have wording on them. There is also a cement cross still up but no words on it. I've also included a photo I took of the cemetery last week. It is smack center of the shot. It seems to be contained in the circle of trees. That is why I'm curious about the # of people buried there. There is only room for about 5 or 6 graves within the tree circle. I'm sure the trees were planted after the cemetery was last used for burial. They don't look too old. We are interested in finding out all we can about this family. Can you help? Thank You.
