Becca..

You have not, by chance, stumbled across a grave site..or burial information...for Jesse Knighten DuBose (1st Sgt, Co K. Bourland's Regt) in Hunt Co., have you? He and two of his brothers, and their families were in Hunt Co. prior to the War.

The oldest, Willis V. DuBose died sometime around 1859-60 and Jesse was executor of his estate.

A younger brother (Dr.) Amasa Hamilton DuBose was also in the 1860 Hunt Co. census.

Their mother (Leah [Willis?] DuBose was living with a daughter in the 1860 census.

Jesse was killed in 1866. His widow, Elizabeth Wheeler DuBose, remarried a J.J. Pound in 1868. Of she and Jesse's 5 children, only 2 (my grandfather, Jesse Knighten DuBose, Jr. 1863-1920 and his sister) appear to have lived past the 1860s.

Some of Willis V.'s descendents are buried in the Lone Oak cemetery...there are also a number of apparently unmarked graves (or toppled, buried, head stones)on the "DuBose row."

Jesse, Willis V. and their mother (Leah) had land grants on the "Cow Leche Fork of the Sabine River" (said to be approximately 25 miles south of Greenville) that were surveyed in the late 1850s. Would there possibly be a (now) lost "family" cemetery at their old home site?

Is there any kind of Hunt County cemetery registry? Is there a Hunt Co., Historical Society or organization on line that I might tap into?

Thanks for any information you might have....
