Notes for J. W. SPRAGENS:
The 1860 Tyler County Federal Census lists J W Spragens 35 with 'S.' 25 female and 'T.' age 1 male. His wife in my records is listed as Sarah Harville, born about 1824. This 'S' could not be Sarah Harville because Sarah was not born until about 1824, which would have made her one year old at the time of this 1860 census. The birthplace of JW and S are listed as Alabama, and 'T' is 1 year old from Texas.

Notes for MARTHA E. HARVELL:
Received e-mail on 10/22/2000 From M. Parker:

Ed, The story that we all have is that when she died she was living in the
home of her daughter, Luease Edwards and that they did not embalm in those
days and since the trip to Camp Ruby took so long they buried her in the
Votaw Cemetery. Tha is also where Luease is buried. Marlin

Notes for THOMAS JEFFERSON FRANKLIN:
Co. D 16 Texas Inf. CSA.

When the civil war started Thomas J. Franklin and his brother-in-law Alexander Harville went to Woodville, Tx. on May 28, 1862 and joined the Confederate Army. They were in the

16 th. Reg. Tx. Vol. Inf. Co. D. Scurry�s Brigade, Walker�s Div. And they served till the end of the war. Family lore has it that Thomas J. fought at Vicksburg, Miss and his name is not recorded there because he was not captured and made to sign a statement that he would not fight anymore. The fact that he was in the branch of service as stated above can be verified thru the Texas and National Archives and his branch of service is written on a monument at the Vicksburg, Miss., Battlefield.

Thomas J. Franklin drew Civil War Pension File #7031 starting 3-30-1900.
