You see, my gr-gr-grandfather Gideon Elbert Wiginton was married in Bexar, Marion County, Alabama on Jaunary 10, 1892 to Eron Belle Palmer. Eron Belle Palmer's brother was named Moorman Terrell Palmer and, I wouldn't at all be surprised if they were close family friends or relatives and they took his first name from your family's surname. <br /><br />Also, the "witness" on their marriage record in our family bible is Henry Mayfield Robinson. Is this the same Henry Robinson you mention that lived across the street from your Doctor Moorman? If so, he was my gr-gr-grandfather Gideon's uncle (his mother Elizabeth Jane "Betsy" Robinson's brother).<br /><br />Anyway, I also have a ton of folks from the Itawamba County, Mississipi side of the border.Juliet Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039296440673564186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284597030233351185.post-56694097222614066522009-08-07T05:42:19.060-05:002009-08-07T05:42:19.060-05:00What ever it may medicine is very very important t...What ever it may medicine is very very important to body thanks for information..........<br /><br /><br />___________________<br />Christena<br /><a href="http://www.paydayloancashonline.com/" rel="nofollow">Cash in your hand in 24Hours with payday loan</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284597030233351185.post-72445071801463254722009-08-05T06:32:44.125-05:002009-08-05T06:32:44.125-05:00I laek the architecture too.

Width and height seem perfectly balanced with roof-line, lending a fine sense of efficiency and reserved dignity.<br />And Bettye, your comments are outstanding. You have rare recall and write really well. The particulars that you remember, and share with us, live on only if you write them down.<br />I enjoy your comments very much.Arvelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309249600850743655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284597030233351185.post-8916114504535168072009-08-05T00:30:39.465-05:002009-08-05T00:30:39.465-05:00Mona, if one looks closely at the first picture of...Mona, if one looks closely at the first picture of the Dr. Moorman office, one will see the tip of the roof line (I assume of the porch of what I recall was a hotel that stood there prior to about 1935 or '36) and also the shadow left by this building. I recall seeing this building as maybe while standing on the porch of the home of my Great grandparents, Henry Johnson Robinson and "Sukey" Evans Robinson directly across the road/street. Since "Sukey" died in 1935, I am not sure if my recollection of seeing this 2 story building is during this period or not - I would have been about 3 1/2 when Sukey died and why this building stands out so vividly is haunting to me as I approach my 78th birthday!!<br /><br />Everytime I see an old western movie depicting a saloon and hotel upstairs, I automatically think of this building that disappeared sometime around 1936 or '37. We know of this area as "dry" today, but when Bexar was founded, I believe there were more than one saloon in this area. I encourage anyone living near to Jacinto, MS to pay a visit to this place - there are a couple of hisoric buildings such as the courthouse??, and thanks to the generosity of Harry Stone and family, the Dr. Moorman office building has been relocated to Jacinto.<br /><br />As I recall the homes of people born in the 1850's thru 1880's, my memory of the home owned by Great Uncle Lucian Gaines Robinson (husband of Mona's relative, Agnes Bishop Robinson who resided there in my early years)was the more grande home in Bexar as I recall. L. Gaines' general merchandise store was across the road from his home.<br /><br />The relocation of U.S. 78 to north of Bexar Methdist Church and now this highway has been left behind also with the building of what is to become an Interstate numbered in the 20's just shows what "progress" does to places so important to our ancestry. Thank you Mona for finding these photos in the Library of Congress to reveal so much of our past.
