Co., Texas Annotated Adoptions Records, 1862-1933 by Bill PAGE Introduction Genealogists know the importance of examining deeds. Even so, few people realize that the older Texas deed books record adoptions. Prior to 1850, people wanting to adopt a child in Texas had to get a special law passed by the state legislature.1 On 16Jan. 1850 the Texas legislature passed "An Act to Prescribe the Mode of Adoption."2 That law required adoptions to be recorded at the courthouSe in the same manner as deeds. Adoption by deed was not unique to Texas. Similar laws .existed in Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and perhaps other states. 3 _ The 1850 law did not end the legislature's involvement with adoptions. Until at least 1861 that body occasionally passed laws authorizing adoptions.4 These acts differed from those prior to 1850 in thatthey did not complete the adoption, but instead authorized persons to adoptchHdren. following. the existing procedures. Apparently these . laws were required because. either the adoptive parents or the chi.ldrenfailed to meet the criteria expected under the 1850 law, although none ofthe acts examined states that directly. The Texas constitution adopted in 1869. spe.cifically prohibited the passage of special laws "regulating the adoption of children, em~ncipatiC)n of minors, and the granting of divorces."5 Sometimep~ssedbefore the constitution~lban removed adoptions from the consideration of the legislature. At least as Jc:ite. as May 1.870 statesmen were still introducing bills to permit.persons to adopt.6 Texans eventually learned that. legislative adoptions were no longerpermitted,. though. The constitution of 1.876 contains a prohibition similar to that in the 1869 .constitution which i~.still. in effect today.7 In Texas, adoptions continued to be recorQed like deeds until 1931.8 In that year the legislature changed the way adoptions were handled and made the records involved confidenti.aLEv(3n thou~h the law changed in 1931, three. children in Brazos Co. were adopted in 193? under the old method; one. of thqse adoptions was not recorded until 3 4 1933. In .1933, another adoption took place, two years after the law had been changed. Time did not allow the compilerto read all (3ntries in the Brazos Co. deed books; instead , the author identified listings by skimrning the column stating deed types in the indexes, noting those that said adoptiqn. ThispamphlE9t therefore may omit some adoptions. During the seventy years covered. by these records, adoptions were rare. FrolT11862to 1889, only five children were adopted in Br~;z:os Co. Adoptions did become slightly more common in later years, as the following table demonstrates: Decade No. children adopted 1860-1869 1 1870-1879 1 1880-1889 3 1890-1899 9 1900-1909 10 1910-1919 12 1920-1929 18 1930-1933 8 In total, thEFcompilerJdentified54deeds!Which listed.t~eadoptionsof62Brazos Co. children.. One additional deed wc:is found ~hic::h record(3dtheadoption of five children in Grimes Co. Of course, adoptions list onlya~mallper9E9ntage ofcjrphaned or abandoned children, Many were assignedguardians~~ partofthE9 probatepmcess for their deceased parents but were. never adopted. Inotherpase~,frieocfs, neigh~prs.,orrelatives just took .over the care of children whose paren~s h~d cjied '}lVi~houtany f9r'l1allegal action. And, of co~rse some orphans lived in orphanages or otherinstitutionsl.lotilthey reached adulthood. Mostentries have been supplernel'lted Wit~c.i~tc:i fromm~~ri.~ge records, obituaries, probate records,. censuses, district court minutes,' or other so~rces. The district court minutes mention only five adoptions, butoqeoftho.5E9,the first knSl\IVn Brazos Co.. adoption, was. not listed in the deeds. .. .

The census sometirnesJisted.adopted childr~nas if they were the biological childrenofthE9 adoptive parents. qthercen~lJ.~ entries Ii~t~cj biological relationships, such as grandson or niece. The censu~ did sOl11etimes indici;lte that children were adopted __ 5 but, in some cases, the census stated this years before the actual adoption took place. In otherwords,asexperienced genealogists know, census records are a convenient starting point. in research, but the information they contain should be checked against other sources. Some records use the term "femesole",whichdescribesa singlewoman, whether never married, widowed, or divorced; Notes 1 See, for.example, "An Act to Authorize Jacob F. WINFREE to Adopt Zachary Taylor LONG as His Lawful Child," approved 13 Mar. 1848; GAMMEL, H. P. N., The Laws of Texas 1822-1897, vol.3. 2 GAMMEL, H. P.

Returning to the Lone Star State in 1882, he located in Bryc:in for the practice of law in which he was also successful from the firstandto such degree that he was elected county attorney in 1884, and served most effectively and satisfactorily in that capacity until last November when he was elected to the office<of county judge. In both these offices he.has shown a strong desire for a better and more effective administration of public duty than usually obtains and notably in the last he has systematized matters perfectly and inaugurated a number ofuseful reforms.

Mr. L STEPHEN, the capable manager of this company,isa man of ripe experience in his line of business, having first served in that capacity upon the occasion of his succeeding the original builder of the plant. Resigning his position, he succeeded the firm of PARSONS&RAY,engaging.inthebottlingbusiness,and infarming. In January ofthis year he resumed his position. as manager of the company. The extensive improvements in the buildings and plant made by the company, coupled with efficient management .of Mr. STEPHEN, is an assurance of the continued success of this important enterprise. Mr. STEPHEN has valuableassistanc.e in the conduct of the business byhissons,Charlesand George STEPHEN, each of whom is familiar with the details of the work which they discharge in a manner rendering them invaluable adjuncts to the company. The summer climatic conditions in this section ofthe State are. such as to necessitate a supply to the public of the purest and best grade of ice in abundant quantities, and there is no establishment more adequ~telyequipped to render this. necessary service than the extensive plant of this company, which is justly noted for the purity and excellence of its output. Another prominentfeature of this enterprise is the large quantity of coal of best grades handled by it during the winter months which it supplies atthe most reasonable prices to the extensive trade in the city and its environments. This .extensiveand complete modern plant is a credit tothe<cityofBryan, and.will always command attention and enthusiastic mention in the enumeration of the great commercial enterprises which have so signally contributed its. present. prestige.
