Possible success!

So, I've found a marriage record for C.C.Johnson and M.M.Mayes in 1872, which is about the year they would have been married. I wish they'd had their full names recorded, but nope. *sigh*
Anyhow, C.C. and M.M. are Bubba's GreatgreatgreatGrandparents. It's been a pain on tracking them down. Seems they were born in Tennessee, but moved to Texas. The mother, M.M., must have passed away, because I've traced C.C.Johnson to being married to one Francis F in 1900. According to the census, they'd been married for 9 years. In that time they'd had 2 more boys. In his marriage with MM, they had 2 boys, one girl. I've been able to trace the girl, because the sons of Marion(Murry, whatever he went by) lived with her and her husband when their parents passed away.
Still can't find death certificates on any of the Johnsons from the past here in Texas. Maybe I'll have to actually go down to the Texas State Library, hehe. I guess, when Bubba and I have off that week together, maybe I'll get him to watch Caitlin while I go digging. Hopefully I'll find something!
