Sharon, thank you so much for your reply to my message.Yes, I have located the parents of my Silas Monroe Barbee.His mother was Ella Sophie Logan, daughter of John Davis Logan, founder of the Victoria Advocate newspaper in Victoria, Texas, and owner of numerous newspapers throughout Texas, before his death.Sophie married a farmer from Walnut Springs, Texas named Mark Barbee.At this time I have not located exactly which Barbee family he belongs too.There are numerous Barbee's in and around Walnut Wprings, Bosque County, Hamilton and Erath counties.The name Monroe is used throughout these Barbees.After correspondence with several members of the Barbee's in this area, we feel sure he fits in there somewhere, we are just not sure where.Mark Barbee died not many years after their marriage, but they did have three children together, Silas Monroe,
John (who died in Monahans, Texas) and unknown Barbee.Silas Monroe was born in Walnut Springs, Texas, and I feel certain the other two children were also born there.Do you have any Mark Barbee's in your line?At the present time I am still searching for this Mark Barbee's parents.
