My name is John Jackson and I feel that I have relatives in the Carrol Cemetery. There is a W.Jackson there and I feel that he is related, someone has told me that there is a marker with three names on it and one is W. Jackson, Is there anything you can tell me about this. I would like to know the other names. There are some Browns and I might be kin to them. I have not been able to find any information. Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance, JJ Email redjack7@yahoo.com 2

I have been researching the Everett Ritter line for some time. Everett Ritter was born 1810 and died Dec. 4, 1873. He was married to Anna Goodwin. Everett's pension papers say that he died in Van Zandt Co., although I have been unable to find anything there. The last time I found him was 1870 Tax Rolls in Panola County. Also, Anna was not listed with him. I am wondering if anyone else doing this research line has had better luck finding the place where Everett died and is buried. Alson, any information on Anna Goodwin Ritter would be appreciated. I know most of the Ritter and Goodwin children left the area and ended up in Arkansas., but I have never found Everett or Anna with any of them. Thanks for any help!
