My husband, Charles Wiegreffe, was an Exxon dealer in the 80s and 90s
and is a claimant in the class action suit brought by dealers against
Exxon Mobil oil company.  We have the records of his transactions with
Exxon from 1986 on, but we need records from 1983-1985 to prove that
he was an Exxon dealer during those years.  Specifically, we need: (1)
the station numbers (also called the store number or dealer number)
and (2) the exact street address of the stations.  During this time my
husband had two different Exxon stations at different times.  The
first station (from sometime around 1982) was in New Braunfels, Texas,
on Interstate Hwy. 35 near the Walnut exit.  The other station (from
1983 or 1984 to 1985) was at 11110 IH 35 in San Antonio, Texas.  At
the San Antonio location, the gas station was torn down and rebuilt as
an Exxon convenience store in 1985.  We have the records from the time
it was rebuilt until we sold it. The instructions for filling out the
claim form suggest getting information from leases, contracts, tax
returns, licenses, certificates, daily books, financial documents,
bank records, etc.  However, we have moved twice since the 1980s and
got rid of most of our older records because we thought we would never
need them.

Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 21 Oct 2004 12:18 PDT

Hello stellaw-ga,

It seems unlikely that a researcher hear could actually produce for
you the documents you needed.  However, it is **possible** that local
and county records are still available that would serve as an
indication that the businesses you described did, in fact, exist.

For instance, it would not be unusual for tax assessor records of the
business property to still be on file, even 20 years after the fact.

The best we can do, in all likeliehood, would be to provide for you
contact information for the appropriate local government records
offices, who could then search their files for any pertinent
information (for which they often charge a fee).

Would that sort of information be of use to you, as an answer to your question?  

If not, perhaps you can let us know in a bit more detail how we can
best assist you here.

Best of luck with this...
