Lonestar's blog: "My life"

Lourena Cox Austin’s lineage (Great-grandmother): My family tree can be traced back through the Emperor Charlemagne back to 400 A.D. 14/16 of the individuals who signed the Magna Carta were ancestors. I am the 24th descendant of King Edward I (documented) Family owned castle in Leicester, England – Odell Castle with the original coat of arms being a blue shield with scattered silver stars with a crescent/scimitar on top. The castle burned some years back and the stones were used to build a manor house. The original coat of arms that was on the castle is on the front of the present manor house. Our family descended from Col. John Alston who fought in the American Revolution. One of the local chapters of the Daughters of the Revolution is named after this gentleman. Grandmother belonged to Daughters of American Revolution and Daughters of the Confederacy (Grandmother was past president of both organizations. Lineage must be documented in order to become a member of those organizations.) Harry Carl Austin’s lineage (Great-grandfather): His mother was the sister of the mother of Mary Todd Lincoln. Douglas Clayton Estes’ lineage (Maternal grandfather): Family an be traced back to England about 1400s. On his mother’s side (Faye McCracken), she was a cousin of the past governor of Texas, James Allred (I think around 1930s-1940s). ______________________________________________________________________ _ Listed in the Blue Bloods in/of America.

It is not the body that is important, but rather the mind, heart and soul,and life is an illuision, for the only things that are real are those things one cannot be seen - love, hope faith, charity and compassion. All material things fade and pass away, but the others can be forever.
