Looking for African American Boldens

I was just in Navarro Co., TXyesterday and saw several that could maybe be from your family. I am so sorry I didn't take them down in my listing, because I ignored the ones marked "col." since I was researching my own family. (Posted today as a matter of fact.)I just didn't think about doing a universal search at the time.
Most of the African-American Boldens I found were in the marriage records. I would have gotten the dates, too, but they don't have those in the index records like they do some places. You have to huff and puff and drag every individual book out!
While I was there, a really nice lady who works with a title company happened to assist me out of the goodness of her heart. She mentioned the Corsicana public library and its genealogical records. I didn't have time to check--it's a brand new building right near the courthouse. She said they have a renowned genealogical collection. I bet you could find a lot of Navarro Co. records there, too.
I don't know how close your relatives were to Corsicana but there surely must be a connection somewhere with all the other Boldens.
