I am looking for info about William B. (Breckinridge) Mathis born 1860 in MS, son of Edwin and Caroline Mathis. According to the Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Mississippi (1891), William (Billy) went to Texas in pursuit of his fortune and was possibly killed there by an assasin. William's grandfather, Frederick, and uncle, Willis, moved from MS to Madison county Texas, and William might have gone to stay with them. (Some of Willis' Mathis brothers, Hannaniah and Hezzekiah, had relatives in Brazos county.) Any insight into this would be appreciated.
