Email received seeking info on Richard Young Stedman, Cameron, TX - 1866-1920
Name : Suzanne S. Williford
Address : 1024 Northwest Avenue
McComb, MS 39648
My name is Suzanne Stedman Williford and I have been attempting to find out any information regarding my great grandfather, Richard Young Stedman. He lived in the Cameron area in the late 1800's (born 1866 -- 1920) and from what I've been told was in law enforcement. I have his Colt 45 given to him on his retirement??? engraved on the butt of the gun "T.M.D. to R.Y.S, Cameron, TX". I've checked with the Texas Rangers and they have no record.
Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Email received seeking info on Mumford Cemetery
Name : Steven Scott
Address : 2391 Porter Street
City : Lebanon, OR 97355
Phone : 541-259-0501
I am trying to get photos of all of the grave markers in the Taylor-Mumford Cemetery on Farm to Market road 437 between Val Verde and Davilla. This is my family cemetery and I am a direct line descendant. I can find it on Google World and Bing Maps. It is well off of the road and in disrepair, but I am trying to find someone that would go and photograph each stone and the cemetery as a whole for my genealogical research.
I am also trying to find out if a Jeptha "Jesse" Mumford, 1808-1883 is buried there or at the Davilla Cemetery in the city.
If you have contacts for each cemetery, I would appreciate it if you could get me the information.
