Brazos County Deaths, 1836-1900 (Volume 1)

Introduction

Two extensive collections of Brazos County death records already existed prior to the compilation of this work:

Brazos Genealogical Association, The Brazos County Texas Cemeteries. List of Persons Interred in Brazos County, Texas, to 1988. Nacogdoches, TX: 1997. Cited as Brazos County Cemeteries.

Collie-Cooper, Mary, Bryan City Cemetery Brazos County, Texas, Books 1, 2, 3, & 4. Bryan, TX: n.d. Cited as Collie-Cooper.

This book reproduces information from those titles only in a few cases, where it is needed to verify first or last names.

As useful as these two books are, however, they only cover part of the available records.

This work draws on numerous other sources which provide additional information.

Among the most important resources indexed are newspapers. Unfortunately, local newspapers survive for only about seven years of the 19^th century, but out-of-town newspapers fortunately contain some of the otherwise unavailable data from the missing years.

This work abstracts data from over 50 newspapers published in more than 30 cities. Most entries, however, come from the Bryan Eagle or the Galveston News.

Most of the newspapers cited are available at the Sterling C. Evans Library at Texas A&M University. Copies of Flake's Bulletin were examined in the Texas Room at the Houston Public Library. Issues of the Galveston Weekly News and the Groesbeck Journal were checked at the Carnegie Center of Brazos Valley History.

Information has also been abstracted from other sources, including:

The 1850, 1870 and 1880 census mortality schedules (the 1860 schedules were lost prior to being microfilmed). Some of these previously appeared in:

Hunt, Janis, “Brazos County 1880 Mortality Schedules,” Brazos Genealogist, v.16, no.2, pp.61-72 (Spring 1995).

Index to Probate Cases Filed in Texas. No. 21: Brazos County. San Antonio, 1941. (cited as WPA Probate Index). This book indexes the case files (or flat files) which were located in the Brazos County County Clerk’s office in 1941. Warning: In some cases, the case file numbers have been changed since 1941. Additional records, which are not indexed, may be found in the various transcribed (bound) probate records, also located in the county clerk’s office.

Brazos County Probate Minutes (reel 1020027). While the compiler tried to cite the earliest references to estates, as well any any records which mention surviving spouses or heirs, no attempt was made to index all of the references to any given estate.

Basenfelder, Peggy, and Elsie Wade, “Probate Packets from Brazos Co. TX County Clerk’s Office,” Brazos Genealogist, continuing series, 1995-1996 (Cited as Brazos Genealogist). This ongoing series abstracted the contents of many of the oldest probate packets.

Payment records for inquests and the burial of paupers, 1857-1899, Brazos County Commissioners Minutes. Some of these were previously published as:

Page, Bill, “Inquests and Pauper Burials, 1874-1894, 1897,” Brazos Genealogist, v.17, no.1, pp.15-27 (Winter 1996).

Brazos County Inquest records, 1898-1900 (Texas County Records microfilm, reel 1020045).

Brazos County District Court, Civil Minutes. Despite its title, this volume also includes criminal records prior to the mid 1870s. Selected entries from these volumes have been indexed, but researchers should consult the indexes for a complete search. Among the types of records cited are lawsuits over estates, records where the death of a party of a legal proceeding is mentioned, and indictments or trials for murder. A few of the deaths mentioned in these records were previously published as:

Page, Bill, “Deaths in Brazos County Criminal Records, 1857-1874,” Brazos Genealogist, v.15, no.3, p.114 (Summer 1994).

Communication from Governor Pease of Texas, Relative to the Troubles in that State. (covers 1867-1869).

Records of the Assistant Commissioner for the State of Texas, Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, 1865-1869, reel 32: “Record of Criminal Offenses Committed in the State of Texas” (cited as Freedmen’s Bureau Records).

Deaths of members of the Masonic Lodge, as noted in Kelsey, Michael, Texas Masonic Deaths, Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1998.

Diaries of the Rev. W.S. SOUTH, a Methodist minister, located in the Cushing Library at Texas A&M University, as part of the Ruth HULL papers. These entries were previously published as:

Page, Bill, “Deaths Listed in Diary of W.S. South,” Brazos Genealogist, v.16, no.4, pp.148-155 (Fall 1995)

Brazos Pilot Ledger, 1877-1882. Although copies of the Brazos Pilot newspaper do not survive for this time period, its financial ledger is located at the Carnegie Library in Bryan. This record includes references to a few deaths.

Billingsley, Nadine Young, “Birth Records of Dr.W.P. Jones 1887-1913,” Brazos Genealogical Advertiser, v.8, no.2, pp.45-59 (Spring 1987). Includes some entries marked “stillborn.”

Published copies of a few church records were checked. These include:

Cole, Geneva, Reliance Church, Brazos County, Texas. Posted on Rootsweb. This is a Baptist Church (cited as Reliance Church).

Glowski, Joanne, St. Joseph Catholic Church Bryan, Brazos County, Texas, Marriage & Death Records 1877-1909.

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Bryan, TX, Register 1

This work also includes information from a few secondary sources, such as the Handbook of Texas Online and various published genealogies.

While the compiler has tried to include all important information, researchers should always check the original sources.

The author greatly appreciates the work of Janis Hunt is copying the deaths from the 1880 mortality schedule and in compiling the deaths for 1899.
