Old Cass Co. Queries
sent in by United States Snail Mail
There are no e-mail addresses attached to these queries,
and I do not have
permission to post the names, so they have been removed. This is
just the
first of many to come, so there will be a series of several years,
ranging
from 1970 to 1999, and in no particular order. Many of the old
addresses
will no longer be any good.

COLLOM, LOREK, LORCK, WILSON, SHEPHERD, HUNT
Seeking information on the family of my great great Uncle John
M. Collom, son
of George Collom. John had headrights in Bowie Co and Cass Co.
Texas. He
died on 1838. His widow, Cintha Ann Lorek (Lorck?) then married
James
Willson and lived in Bois D'ark, Hempstead Co. Arkansas, according
to 1850
census. There were tow additional children, Joseph (Joshua) W.
)Wilson) and
Hester (Esther) Ann Collom.
Collom married Amanda Shepherd in Bastrop Co. Texas in 1857 and
were later
in Stephens, Scurrym & Stonewall Co. Ark. In 1854, but did
not sign as an
heir of John Collom in 1857, Cass County deed transaction, therefore
she may
have died prior to Sept. 1857. Son's James ( L. or S.) Collom
and George R.
Collom were married in 1857 but have yet to find their wives surnames.
Also
have yet to find them in 1860 and later year census. There were
Collom's in
Hempstead Co. AR in 1880's, 1890's, and early 1900's, and these
are probably
the descendents.
