 General Notes:
He left Hogansville, Georgia in April 1853 and traveled overland, his possessions, family and slaves using six Conestoga wagns to make the trip. His wife, a large woman, contracted pneumonia after her wagon was doused in the Red River at Shreveport when a ferryboat sank. She died and is buried at Greenwood Louisiana, six mile from the Texas border.
He reached Harrison County, Texas in September 1853, and settled at a small community calaled Smyrna. His days as a widower short-lived, for we find thathe became a father again in 1854, the child being named Leah, who died while an infant.
Another child was born the next year and her name was Josephine.
