2. Joel W. Halbert (1.William¹) was born in Oct 1889 in Sabine County, Texas; and died.

James Ferman Halbert

(1.William¹) was born on 11 Jul 1891 in Milam, Sabine County, Texas; died on 12 Jan 1960 in Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches County, Texas.

Notes:

I am assuming that James Ferman Halbert was listed in the 1900 census as James T. Halbert, a son of William Washington Halbert and Mary Chambers. Per the 1900 census, he was born circa 1892, which would make him approximately two years older than his wife. The middle intial T and F could be easily confused.

When he registered for the draft during World War I, he listed his date and place of birth as 11 July 1891 in Milam, Texas. He was a farmer, employed by W. W. Halbert, presumably in father, of Milam. He had a wife and one child listed as dependants. He was of Medium heighth and build, with gray eyes and brown hair. His application was completed on June 5, 1917.

Bernie Thacker thinks that his grandfather, James Ferman Halbert, "just might be the same. In the listing that you send there was a Willie C. Halbert and I have since found out that my grandfather (James F or T) did have a brother named Willie."

This should be verified by a birth or death certificate if possible.
