| History
in a Pine Cone
The origin of the name is unknown, as is most
of Black Ankle's history. In 1940 the community reportedly had both a school and
church and today only the church remains.

Note:
This is a location on a map with nothing there now. As I left the paved
portion of FM-353, about 1.75 miles, it then turned in to a dirt road weaving
its way through the dense woods and rolling hills of the Piney Woods of East
Texas. All I found was the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, a small wooden
structure, and then few scattered dwellings. |

Black Ankle, Texas
Dear TE, I sure wish you had more information on this
town. I was looking through my Grandma's things today and found in her handwriting
that she (Ellen Hazel Davis) and my Grandpa (Robert Oval Corbello) were married
in Black Ankle on September 24, 1932. It would be interesting to have more information
on this "town." Thank you. - Sandra Corbello, McClelland, Texas, August 20,
