| I am researching my husband's and my family's histories. I have traced the Gotcher family back to James Gotcher. He and his family moved from Alabama to Texas about 1830 as members of Stephen F. Austin's colony. Most of the family were killed in an Indian raid on their farm. Two sons, James Jr. and William Riley, a daughter, Jane, and her daughter, Margaret Elizabeth Crawford, were the only survivors. My husband descended from William Riley. The related surnames were Arlege, Hancock, Roberts, and Blair. I have traced his mother's family back to 1850. William A. Morris and Julia A. Cousins were born and married in Alabama. They moved to Texas in the 1850s. He was killed in the Civil War. Julia and her children moved to Limestone County then Comanche County. The related surnames were Landrum, Simmons, and Paris. My paternal great grandparents were Joseph A. McFall and Minnie Dickson, and Jefferson Warren Owen and Bryan Oldner Cain. My maternal great grandparents were William Anders Poindexter and Nancy Jim Whitlock, and Missouri Belle Roper Webster. Missouri remarried a Honeycutt after my great grandfather died. After that husband died, she and her children moved to Texas from Mississippi. Both families lived in Montague County Texas around 1900. |
