Hello,
To begin with Larry is correct, George Thomas Keith is the son of George Fleming Keith and Agnes McCoy. And he was also a confederate soldier in the Civil War.
I located some time back an obit for George Thomas Keith and made a note as follows:
Falmouth Outlook Obit dated 2/19/1915
George Thomas Keith was married twice. He died January 15, 1915 age 86. He was a Confederate soldier. Mrs. George Thomas Keith (nee Lyda J. Harmon died September 18, 1890 in Saginaw, Texas.
The obit stated Lyda J. Harmon, but the census records state Eliza J. b. abt 1839 KY. I am inclined to believe her name was Eliza and not Lyda. Anyway, I could not locate her death record in Texas via Ancestry. I did locate George T. Keith's death record and it confirmed the death date stated in the Falmouth Outlook Obit.
George Thomas Keith born 27 November 1829 (where did I get this birth date from?)Pendleton County, Kentucky. (1900 Census states his birth is March 1828) he died February 19, 1915, Tarrant County, Texas. He married Eliza J. Harmon abt. 1867 (probably Pendleton County, Kentucky) and they had Martha A. (Mattie)born 1868 Pendleton County, Kentucky, Charles W. born October 1869 Pendleton County, Kentucky, twins Eliza A. (possible ALICE) born 1872 and George A. (possible Alva) born 1872 in Pendleton County, Kentucky.
The 1870 Pendleton County Census Dated June 7, 1870
Thomas b. abt 1829 KY
E.J. b. abt. 1839 KY
Martha age 2 b. abt 1868 KY
Charles age 8 months b. abt. 1869 KY (the 1900 Tarrant, TX census shows Charles birth as October 1869; according to the 1870 census he was 8 months old in June, 4 months shy of his birthday in October)
Also listed in household were George Thomas Keith's parents George and Agnus McCoy Keith, and several of his siblings.
1880 Liberty Wells, Indiana Census
Georg T abt 1830 KY
Eliza J. abt 1840 KY
Martha A. abt 1868 KY
Charles W. abt. 1870 KY
Eliza A. abt 1872 KY (Twin)
George A. abt 1872 KY (Twin
William S. Keith born 1865 OH Nephew (Larry could you help me out on this one? His father was born in Kentucky and Mother born in Ohio. 1900 Bellfountain, Benton, Oregon states his birth as August 1865 Ohio. 1910 finds him in Burney Valley, Shasta, California widowed. He apparently married between 1900 and 1910 as he was not married in the 1900 Census.)
We know that Eliza J. Harmon dies in 1890...
1900 Tarrant, Texas
George T. Keith b. March 1828 age 71 marrid 6 years KY VA VA
Wife, Eva born July 1855 age 44 married 6 years no children living or dead. born in GA father in GA and mother in North Carolina.
This puts George and Eva's (Eveline)marriage date at abt 1894. No one else is in the household with them.
Two households away Charlie Keith b. October 1869 age 30 married 2 years born KY KY KY wife Emma born May 1882 age 18years married 2 years 1 child living 1 child dead born in Indian Territory father in Alabama, mother in Georgia. Daugher Luzelle born January 1900 in Tarrant, Texas.
1910 Tarrant, Texas
George age 81 married twice born 1829 present marriage 16 yrs. born KY Parents VA. Occupation Merchant, Grocery. Wife Eveline age 57 b. 1853 married once for 16 years born GA NC NC (I could not locate Eveline in the 1920 Census There was a Lydia E. Keith who died 13 August 1920 in Tarrant County, Texas)
1910 Jack, Texas
Chas W. married twice current marriage 3 months
Delia born abt 1880 GA, TN, TN first marriage.
No one else is in household.
1920 Jack, Texas
Charles W.
Delia
C. E. McDaniel born abt 1872 TN, brother in law. (Could Delia be a McDaniel?)
1930 Jack, Texas
Charles age 60 KY
Delia age 51
No one else is in the household.
Charles W. Keith born October 1869, Pendleton County, Kentucky died April 9, 1944 in Jack, Texas. (Ancestry Texas Death Records 1903-2000)
From the above records we see that George and Eliza married and had their children in Kentucky. They then moved to Liberty, Wells, Indiana and moved again to Tarrant, Texas where they both died. Without birth records to search through for the State of Texas I can not say if Eveline or Delia for that matter had children.
I can comfortably state that the George Thomas Keith in your family is the son of George Fleming Keith.
That's about all I have for now; hope something here helps.
