Sarah Jane
Shasteen Graves, born ca. 1841 TN, (first married
John F. Graves who died) and her second husband M.
A. Bradberry, born ca. 1838 TN, came to TX from
Franklin Co., TN after 1870. They brought with
them her son John T. Graves, born ca. 1861 TN, and
her son William R. Bradberry, born ca. 1867 TN.
After arriving in TX, they had a daughter Sarah
Louisa "Lou" Bradberry, probably born early 1870s.
In 1901 the three children, all from Tarrant Co.,
TX, appointed their uncle T. W. Graves in Franklin
Co., TN to be their Power of Attorney. In 1901
Sarah Louisa "Lou" Bradberry was listed as Mrs.
Lou Stevens, wife of John Stevens. Do you have a
burial record for any of these individuals? Thank
you for volunteering to do cemetery lookups for
Tarrant Co.

Dear
dear Barbara, I just had to find a way to thank
you a thousand times over for your hard work on
the Confederate Veterans Robert E. lEE Camp
#158. I just started trying to complete work my
father left me in 1993, and was brought to tears
to find not only my well known ggreat-uncle John
Newton Benton listed as a charter member, but
there is his older brother Joseph M. Benton. It
appears that Joseph returned to TN along with my
ggreat-grandfather Edmond Daniel Benton to serve
in the same unit. Joseph was lost to my father's
research after a Collin Co. voter registration
in 1873. This information and the fact that he
was born in Cass Co. GA opens new avenues for me
to follow. My only question is about the J. T.
Bentons buried in the same plot. The only other
brother who I haven't found is Jeremiah Benton
Born 1834 in TN. I hope this may be him or
Joseph buried there, or maybe both of them.
Sorry for the rambling but I just wanted you to
know how much this means to me. I will just jot
my questions here at the end so you don't need
to read all this again to find my questions. 1.
May I have all the information you have on
Charter Members such as John Newton Benton. 2.
Could you send me anything else you have on
Joseph M. Benton. 3. Please forward anything
else you have on the other
Benton's. Thank You Profoundly
Mary Benton-Nicholas
REPLY:
I appreciate your kind words, however all
information available to me regarding this
family is posted to the website, particularly
records of the R. E. Lee Camp. Additional info
on other charter members will be posted to the
website as it is transcribed.

I am
interested in absolutely any information on the
Want Family in Fort Worth.
All I know is: George Henderson Want, b:
3/5/1842, married Miss Lillie Price 9/16/1875 in
Ft. Worth(I have copy of article from Ft. Worth
Standard. And I know George was buried in
Pioneer's Rest Cemetery, I do not have date.
I also know there was an Andrew Edwin Want (b:
2/12/1859) who came to Ft. Worth to live with
his older sister Susan Ann Wilkins.
I would appreciate any information.
REPLY:
Since you live in Arlington - you might check
their library for a copy of this book. There
is a copy in the Fort Worth Library. There is
much information on this family - G. H. Want
died in 1912 at the home of his bro. A. E.
Want. Lillian Price Want died in 1942.

She is not buried in Pioneers Rest. Since her
death date is fairly recent, I would think you
would need to check other cemeteries. It would
help if you knew what part of the county she
may have lived in.

I have
been able to find that the brother of my great
grandmother (Martha Ann Want Sumpter), George
Henderson Want, came to Fort Worth around 1874,
married Miss Lillie Price on September 16, 1875
(as per news article in Ft. Worth Standard, p.3.
col. 11). In Confederate Burials at Pioneer Rest
Cemetery, I see he is buried on Lot 18, block 4.
I made a trip over to see the cemetery and of
course photograph the tombstone, etc. for my
records. Unfortunately I went on a weekend and
the cemetery was locked. Can you suggest a time
when I would be able to enter the cemetery? I am
also anxious to see if anyone else is buried
with him.
I belong to the Arlington Gen. Soc. and have
been working on my family tree a rather short
time. I am pretty GREEN when it comes to
research.
My father's family (William Louis Hogan and
Annie Sumpter Hogan)came to Fort Worth around
1910 (found on census), my father was born at
home on Dec. 31, 1912. The family was living at
1036 Edwards St. (I have found that Edwards was
changed to Pruitt up in the hospital district
and was right behind Thistle Hill). I know the
names of the doctor and lady friends in
attendance. Family, by 1914 had moved to Dallas,
but both parents are buried in Greenwood
Cemetery.
This is about as far as I have gotten in Fort
Worth research.
I would like to find where both of these men
(Hogan and Want) worked, etc. Where the Want
family lived and if there were children, etc.
I would truly appreciate any help and guidance
you can offer me. Thank you for your time and
patience,
Lera H. Oldham
REPLY:
According to the posted sign (picture appears
in Pioneers Rest Cemetery compilation) the
cemetery is open 9 - 5 Mon. - Fri.
There are several abstracts from obits on the
Want family included in this book.
