Dec 29 1859

Aug 13 1887

Little brother of Earl John Wilcox

 

John and his two brothers rode into central Texas from Georgia during reconstruction and found work on John Butts' farm. 

 

Earl John Wilcox married John Butts' daughter; Elizabeth (Butts) Wilcox. Earl John literally married the farmer's daughter, Elizabeth.  He purchased some land and grew a crop and built a little house before proposing. 

 

His brother died at a young age while still working for the Butts and was buried in the Butts’ Family plots.  My grandmother told me about that ages ago. 

 

Supposedly the original H. E. Butts was John's Butts' brother.  John Earl and Elizabeth (Butts) Wilcox are both buried in Calvary Cemetery, near the Parton plots Marlin, Falls Co., Texas

 

Husband of Elizabeth (Butts) Wilcox.  Elizabeth (Butts) Wilcox was the daughter of John D. & Sophronia (Gross) Butts

WILLIAMS

Charles A.

1870

Oct 23 1923

Charles A. Williams was the son of J. C. Williams of the Wilderville community.

 

Charles A. Williams was killed in his infamous "duel" in the town of Young and in the barn of T. F. Young, Jr. in Freestone County. 
The other participant in this folly was Norwood Huckaby.  The two men had apparently been friends for a very long time before something happened that
fractured that friendship.  The investigating sheriff was: David Terry.

 
Just prior to this debacle, Charles had lived for a while in Navarro.  He was born in 1870 in Milam County and died 23 Oct. 1923. 

 

The Family Bible notes that he was married 3 Jan. 1901.
