Looking for information on Jemima Paulina BURK TEMPLETON COLBERT who married Ira Colbert and is found in the 1870 & 1880 TX Lamar County censuses.
Jemima lived in Hot Spring County, AR at the time of the 1860 census and was a member of the “ New Prospect Lodge Number 20 of the Independent Order of Good Templars”.  I understand this was an anti-alcohol/temperance organization and that there were similar groups in the Paris area and I suspect she would have remained active in this effort when moved to the Paris area.  The general location of her residence in 1870 as noted at the top of the census page, is listed as “Beat A 2” - don’t know exactly what this expression “Beat” means. maybe means “Route “?  Several years after Ira’s death, in the 1880 census, she is said to be living in Precinct 2.  I would like to know where this/these areas were, what churches and temperance groups existed in this area during this period and if there are any members lists or records mentioning her, her children or her marriage to Ira. Her married name before her marriage to Ira Colbert was Templeton. 
Does anyone know where I can find a map showing the precinct boundary lines of Lamar County in 1870 & 1880 ?
