Hello, I am trying to find information about Wm. R. Joyce and family, one-time
land owners in Colleyville, TX. Where do I go to get information on burial
sites of family members and wills? We are trying to stop Bluebonnet Hills
Cemetery from selling land once owned by the Joyces to a housing developer.
A rumor has come up about a family member maybe being buried on this land
prior to the sale by the family. This is probably more information than you
cared to know so please excuse me. I did visit the Tarrant County Courthouse,
but was only able to get property abstracts and deeds. No listings of wills
for any of the names listed on these documents. Thanks so much for your help.

My grandmothers brother was murdered in Fort Worth in 1927. What I would
like to find out is what happened to the men who committed the crime. Their
names are Roy Wilson and Cecil Chambers. They were most likely convicted
of murder. They may have died in prison. They may have gotten the death penalty.
My great uncle's name was Roscoe Wilson (no relation to the other)and the
crime was committed on Jan. 31,1927. These men were caught and arrested the
same or maybe the next day. Thanks for any
help.
