I came across this while researching my Texas ancestors and thought it might be helpful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Clark Letter--1858 Bexar County, Texas http://ftp.rootsweb.ancestry.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bexar/history/letters/clark.txt To: Miss Elizabeth Clark, North Wheeling/ Wheeling Island From: WA Clark Bexar County Canantonio Texas Mar 14 1858 The letter mentions the stabbing death of another [soldier?]. A Mr. Hacket was stabbed by a Mr. Wilcox, and that Mr. Hacket was buried "...with all the honners of the Odd Fellows..." It doesn't appear that the author, W. A. Clark is well acquainted with either men. ------------- Other names mentioned: Burlow John Ford’s family [John Ford] Lee Smith Workman’s family, [Workman] Wilkin’s family [Wilkin] Nan Marry Jane [Mary Jane] Marry Ann Jephers [Mary Ann Jephers] Marry Miller [Mary Miller] James Dunn
