It is believed that the town of PINKERTON is named for them. They were living near the Pinkerton/Rule area around 1900-1920. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Wed, 26 Nov 1997 18:32:13 I have some more information on John F. Pinkerton. He was born in Gatesville, Coryell County, Texas. His mother, Rebecca Akin Pinkerton, died in 1866 in Coryell County, and his father, David Alexander Pinkerton, died in December 1869 in Coryell County. John had two daughters I am also searching for. His brother, Collin Akin Pinkerton, was supposedly married twice. I have been unable to verify this as he disappears between 1870 and 1910. If needed, I can send a copy of my Pinkerton family tree. Thank you, Michelle
Edwards
17 Nov 1997
William Pleasant EDWARDS, was my gr-gr-gr- grandfather. According to his death certificate, he was born November 14,1853 in Perry Co., Tennessee. He was the son of David EDWARDS and Amanda GOODWIN EDWARDS. He died in Haskell Co., Texas on June 23, 1936. I know from census records he lived in Wayne Co., Tennessee until 1910 and then he and his wife, Nancy Caroline LEWIS EDWARDS dissappear until he dies in Haskell, County. I cannot find where his wife dies or is buried. Need to know if his wife is buried in the same cemetery or near that location. Also need to rule out the possibility she could have died in Tennessee and then he moved to Texas. Any individual with info. or willing to do a cemetery look up please reply.
