The census did not include her in the 1870 Van Zandt list for John Stringer.
John bought 82 acres of land from M.A. Cox in 1881 in Van Zandt County about twelve miles southeast
of Canton. He farmer, but he also hauled freight from Jefferson and New Orleans by ox wagon. He would
buy whatever he could and sell it on his return. He would be gone weeks at a time, so Naomi would stay with her son Sam and family.
Naomi died from a buggy accident. Both are buried in the Holly Springs Cemetery. Their tombstone has
the initials of the names of all their children and their birthdates inscribed on it.
All of John Stringer’s children were buried in the Holly Springs Cemetery except Louvinia who was
buried in the Prairie Springs Cemetery near Ben Wheeler and Victoria in Oregon and the two in Alabama.

Thank you for posting this. I am a descendant of John Stringer and Naomi Easley through their son John Emery, and I am in the process of tracking down my bit of the family line. This helps greatly.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot more with DNA, heraldry, and tracing the Stringers back to Nicholas Stringer in Nottinghamshire in the 1600s, and plan to post it all after the Holliday. You are welcome and I am glad that you have found it helpful. This blog is kind of my way of getting all of this mess straightened out.
ReplyDeleteAlso if you have any pictures of John Emery, or his siblings or parents I would love to add them to the blog
