Submitted by Sammye
I’m looking for info on my grt-grandmother, (Laura angeline Tyler (md. Charles Wesley Poe).She was born in 1868, not sure where, but I think in Texas. She & Charles were md in Bexar County,Texas on Dec 24, 1883. She died in July 19, 1892. Not sure where. Some of my Poe’s I’ve found in Brico County. I found one of her sones buried in Rest Haven Cemetery in Floyd or Brisco County. On his death certificate that his mother was Dottie Tyler. So I’m wondering if that was a nickname or whoever gave the information didn’t know what she was talking about.. Do you have anything on her Or can tell me where I can find out. I’ve been searching for her (10 years) to try to find her parents. Any help will be appreciated!
