Other Events:

Residence: 29 May 1956, , Bell, Texas, USA; County Hone
death certificate: 13 Sep 1956; Mrs Jesse Shepherd

Notes:

Mamaw says her name was not Tucker but Joines. I know her mother's name was Tucker when she died and was Joines before she married Tucker. It is possible she was married to a Joines before she married the Tucker. Census records usually record step-children as such and with their father's surname. If Ruthie married a Joines first, she would have married before the 1850 census on which she is shown to be 15 years of age. Girls did not normally marry that early in that time period. [Now that I've had several years to study this family, I realize that Mamaw was getting Ruthie and Texaanna confused. She knew that Ruthie's name was Joines but didn't realize that was her maiden name.]

Texanna died a month after I was born, her great-great-grandchild. Dad carried Mamaw, Mom and me to see her just before she died. He says that's when he realized he needed a camera. He bought Mom an old Brownie and got himself an 8 mil movie camera. I wish he had bought them before we visited.

Notes:

Wm Thomas' death cert says father born Mississippi.
Are his parents William F and Delilah Tucker of Marion County, Alabama? William F has a son named Thomas and a daughter named Jincey Jane. See 1850 Marion County, pg 117A, image #52, last line. There is a Thomas Tucker, age 66 on this page and a George Tucker, age 106. But William and Delilah don't seem to be old enough - they're 37 and 36, the younger William is 21.
Yay! I think I've added three more generations here!

1880 was the first census to include newly formed Lee County. It's parent counties are Bastrop, Burleson, and Washington. This is the only record I have for William besides the marriage to Ruthie.

William married Ruth JOINES on 15 Jun 1863 in Brenham, Washington, Texas, USA. Ruth (daughter of James JOINES and Rebecca ???) was born on 12 Feb 1834 in , , Georgia, USA; died on 1 Apr 1919 in , Milam, Texas, USA; was buried on 2 Apr 1919 in Davilla, Milam, Texas, USA.

Census: 13 Jun 1900, , Bastrop, Texas, USA; ED 13, pg 8

Notes:

I don't know why she is listed as Rach A on the 1880 census; she's Ruth, Ruthy or Ruthie everywhere else. Until someone shows me some proof that her name is Rachel, I'll stick to Ruth.

(Research):Mamaw said her name was Louisa and the third daughter is Anita. She said the girls' name was Joines and that her great Grandma Joines married Tucker after Grandpa Joines died. Tommy Tucker was a stepbrother to the girls.
