Travis, I will be more than pleased to exchange information, and particularly photographs, with you.
My father's family has lived in and around Caldwell, Texassince shortly after the Civil War.
His father was George Colbert Ivy, son of John C Ivy and Mattie Shields.John C Ivy was the son of Jarrett J Ivy and Eliza Jane Walls.Mattie Shields was the daughter of William E Shields (brother of the notable Francis Marion Shields) and Sarah Colbert.Sarah's parents were Fleming Tines Colbert and Sarah Vincent.Her paternal grandparents were William Colbert (Ref. "Descendants of William Colbert") and Margaret Williams.
My paternal grandmother was Willie Caroline "Carrie" Moseley, daughter of Thomas Griffin Moseley and Mary Eliza Carrington.Thomas Moseley's father and/or grandfather ran the Moseley Ferry, crossing the Brazos River near Tunis, which is close to Caldwell.
It would probably simplify communications if you would address Email directly to me at [email protected].
