Does anyone know the historic location of Navarro County town
called Oil Town? My assumption is it was short lived, probably
between 1894-1905. It is also my speculation it was between Roane
and Chatfield. Any thoughts?

Was there an outbreak of smallpox in Navarro County in the 1930s?
My dad was quite a story teller; one story was about all his
family and extended family having smallpox at the same time. He
was the only one who did not. Daddy is gone now and if he wasn't,
I would not expect him to change his story even if there was not a
word of truth in it.

I am trying to find info on my grandfather Benjamin Franklin
Sullivan born 10 Aug 1865 in TN died 15 Feb 1937 in Navarro Co.
and wife Martha Nellie Louella "Lula" Murray Sullivan born 1 Jan
1876 in Miss died 3 Aug 1917 in Navarro Co., TX.
I just began family research
and have a hit a brick wall with the Sullivan line. Went to the
Navarro Co Courthouse the week before Thanksgiving and found both
my Grandfather Benj F. Sullivan & my Grandmother Lula Sullivan's
death certificates, but I have no other info on them. Have no
family to ask, and have exhausted most internet sources. Thank
for your help!!
It is always a good idea to check on probate
packets when searching for information in county records. If you
are in Corsicana again, check with the Corsicana Library for
obituaries. Rootsweb has many family surname lists.

The interpretive staff of the Fort Smith National Historic Site,
Fort Smith, Arkansas is currently developing a mini exhibit on the
name Belle Point. Using an internet search we found the Belle
Point Community, Navarro County, Texas, site. We are curious to
know about Capt. J.A. Harrison, do you have any information about
him and where he was from, his service dates, etc., Union or
Confederate? Fort Smith was an active military post off and on
between the years 1817 and 1871. The first fort was located at the
confluence of the Arkansas and Poteau rivers at a spot called
Belle Point by early French fur trappers. Fort Smith the city now
has many businesses and organizations carrying the Belle Point
name: Belle Point Lodge #20 F&AM, Belle Point Quilters Guild,
Belle Point school to name a few. Thank you for your help in this
matter,

I have an ancestor, Hartwell Harris, who was a physician and
apparently resided in Taos, Navarro Co., about 1874. I wondered if
you had any listings of physicians who practiced in Navarro Co.
during that time period. Also, my grandfather (different line) was
in the IOOF Orphans Home near Corsicana in about 1910. He and his
siblings are listed on the Federal Census, but I wondered if you
were aware of any other records of the Orphan's home that exist?
The Library of The Texas State Medical
Association has a listing of deceased physicians. You can contact
them at www.txmed.org. The Corsicana Library will have more
information on the Orphans Home records.
