• Notes

  He was a Preacher. When the Civil War expanded into Texas he was threatened because he would not join the Confederate Army and was almost hung when officers came to his home to recruit him, but one officer knew him and convinced the others that it was only due to his religion that he would not fight. He continued to preach against slavery and upon another threat he moved to Calif. until the end of the War. He then returned to Texas where he later died. Descendants live in Ca. where lines from his daughters continue.
