If you have a Munsell(e) family connection we want to hear from you! Our branch of the Munselles moved to Texas from Jefferson County, Illinois and Licking County, Ohio in the late 1890s and continued to live there through 1990s. Some of the connected families are: Shipp, Casner, Cowey, King, Ransom, Smith, Odom, Bollinger, Estes and many others.
My most recent gedcom is up and you can check the surnames here to see if we have a connection:

Mary Griffen Munsell family history...from g.g. granddaughter

Subject: Mary Griffen Munsell family history...from g.g. granddaughter

Hello Nancy,
I have been working on my families genealogy and think I can help with the Mary Griffen lineage.

I am "Mary Elizabeth Griffen Butler Munsell's" great, great Granddaughter. See Mary's first marriage was to my great, great grandfather, William A. Butler and it produced my great-grandfather, Oscar Leroy Butler. They were divorced and Mary married Lewis B. Munsell (b. Oct 1848)...they had 3 children Earl Lewis Munsell (died in his mid-20s), Walter E. Munsell (b. Sept. 13, 1899 and d. Mar 1980), and Leslie Munsell (died as a baby).

Mary was born on May 26, 1859 in West Stockbridge, MA and her parents names were PHIL C. Griffen and Almura E. Gould. Mary died in Apr 5, 1939.

I should have more info. down the road as I have personally met one of Walter E. Munsell's sons, Richard Munsell.

Look forward to hearing of any information you might be able to share with me too.

Thanks,
Jill Lundberg
