Pam Stanlick,

I study Southern Indian Territory and North Texas, but after an hour of looking, I cannot find any of the people in the censuses that you mentioned. (... save one George B. Tefertiller in the Osage Nation.) ..After I locate your references in the 1900 and 1860 censuses, I will look in the 1890 Chickasaw Nation censuses.
.
Please list the exact spelling of names plus a page number (or enumeration district, if applicable).

Below is the first of several postings about your "Marion W. Tefertiller" that Russell Tefertiller initiated on the Texas message board, analogous to this one.

Hello,

Could anybody help with this? My great-great-grandfather Marion W. Tefertiller (muster rolls list him as M.W. Teferteller; some different misspellings were Terfertiller, Teffertiller, Terfiter)was in the 29th TX Cav., Co. A. ..He enlisted in Denton Co. with his brother, John N. Tefertiller, who was in Co. K of the 29th, and his brother-in-law, James Heape (listed as Heaps) who was also in Co. K.

Marion's son George B. Tefertiller was told that his father died in the Civil War. Either the story died with George or he didn't know the story, because we have no idea what battle he died in and where he was buried. Now, I know that many died of disease, but we have no idea. There was some speculation that it could have been at Cabin Creek, but no proof suggests that. We know that there were some deserters, but unless my great-grandfather was lied to by whomever told him that his father died, we don't know that he was one of the deserters--most likely, not one at all.

He isn't even listed on some documents as being part of the 29th (which he was), so this is much harder than expected. Many people doing our family history are stumped by this.
.
If anybody knows anything about this, and/or would have pictures of the 29th TX Cavalry, please contact me at BigRuss610@aol.com .
.
I and my entire family researchers truly appreciate it.

I am looking for information re my gr gr grandfather Marion W Tefertiller Thru
history the name has been spelled (misspelled) many ways He enlisted in the
29th TX Cav (CSA) in aprox 1862-63 in Denton Tx He is shown on the 1860 census
with a wife named Mary (apparently his 2nd wife) and my Gr Grandfather George
B Tefertiller We have found him on a 29th Cav roll but never on any official
Govt rolls He disappeared and no one knows what happened to him His wife Mary
is found buried in Dye Mound Tx with a grave nearby with a son named M.W.
Tefertiller She had remarried and her name was then Mary Freeland Mary
Freeland shows up on a 1900 census in Chickasaw ("county") Indian Territory as
again a widow with a grandson named Fred McLindon. Mary's stone in Dye Mound
cemetery says she died in 1910 I would like to contact anyone with any info on
any of these people so I might find out what happened to my Gr Gr Grandfather
and maybe where he is buried Some spellings of Tefertiller maybe Tefeteller
Tefteller Terfiter Tefenteller Thank You!

Again, please list your census data. Where in Texas is the Dry Mound Cemetery? Don't forget, we think in terms of counties.
.
We are striving to compile our history.
