    Davis, Margaret Davis Jones
      My mother-in-law Margaret Louise Wainwright was born in Red River County, Texas on June 22,1930 to Margaret Davis Bryant and John Elbert Bryant. Margaret Davis was the child of Ed and Rena Davis of Clarksville. When Margaret Louise was nine years old and her brother George was seven, their father left Texas and came to Georgia. Two years later he returned for them and that's the last the kids saw of their Texas relatives. They saw their mother only one more time a short time later. Therefore we are searching for any family that is out there. Margaret Davis had five siblings: Viola McFatridge, Hattie Mae Nipper, Leona Yoakum, Robert Davis, and Sam Davis. I have located Violas' daughter Mary Frances and two of Roberts' children are in Borger. I cannot find out if Hattie even had children. When Margaret Davis Jones was burned in a Texarkana hotel in 1953 the obituary lists Hattie as Mattie Mae Nipper. Also Sam had two children Elmer and Irma. We would love to know where they are. If anyone out there knows any of these relatives please contact me. Thanks!

    Dugan, Johnny
      My father and his family moved to the community of Slay around 1920. They moved from El Dorado Ark. They were not wealthy people nor did they attain a high level of social importance but their lives like all Texans had its unigueness. My grandfather Taylor Dugan died in 1925 when my father was 12 yrs old. My grandmother Nell never remarried and lived a long happy life in Slay and then in Frost, Texas. She died in 1983 at the grand age of 95. Slay by the way was a small community which was located between Frost and Italy Texas. My father played baseball on a local team and once played against the hard throwing, bible toting , barnstorming team calle The House of David. He went on to serve in WWII, going in 1942-1943 in Italy and France. At the ripe age of 43 he married my mom and I was born in 56 and my brother in 60.Pop was a pipeliner, crossing the country for years until the mid seventies. He passed away in 1986 at 73yrs of age. As I said we were not a rich family , but in money only. My brother is a dedicated teacher and coach in Corpus Christi and I have in the steel business for 25yrs. I think that speaks enough for our Mom and pop and is the true meaning of being Texan.

    Dyer, C. Clement and Sarah
      My great-grandmother's grandparents, C. Clement Dyer and his wife, Sarah Stafford, were members of the Old Three Hundred who came with Stephen F. Austin to Texas. Sarah was only sixteen and was travelling with her father, William Stafford, to Texas. With the group, there was a young man named C. Clement Dyer. He and Sarah fell in love during the trip. With her father, they took a side trip to Louisiana to be married in a Protestant ceremony, rather than in a Catholic one as was required by Mexico. They had 13 or so children. I am descended from their oldest child, William Thomas. William Thomas was taken from the family home by local Indians as a infant. C. Clement was not at home, so Sarah got on a horse and followed the Indians to their camp. There she begged for/demanded/asked for her baby back. Startled, the Indians handed him back and she took him home. She was seventeen at the time.
