I am in Travis County, Texas. It is not far from Milam County, Texas. I went to Maysfield, Texas many times throughout my life. I loved the land where my mom was raised. The farm is still there. It is owned by the descendents of my older aunts. I live on acreage now because I loved the country so much. My land is not like the land in Milam County, but I had to settle for what I could get. lol
I would love to hear the story about the kidnapping. Mom did talk about a bonded woman that her boyfriend cut the floor out of the kitchen to run away with her, but Mom did not put any names or dates to it. Also, my Mom was a great storyteller. I am not sure if all her stories were 100% real. She did swear that Pricey was Indian. That she was positive about.
I will write the story about how Charles M. was killed. Or at least, what I know about it. Maybe another family member will remember their parent or grandparent telling them the story.
I would love to hear if anyone knows about any of the first Pricey's brothers. I noticed that Robert named one of his children Pricey. I am thinking that Milton also named one of his Pricey, but I would have to look that up. She knew at least one of her brothers, James H. Holoway. Maybe some of her boys talked about their Uncles. Henry Mclin Roach had no brothers. Even if someone just knew about an Uncle Jesse Holloway of Pricey's age. I think her sons named their boys after their Uncles. It seemed to be a big family of Uncles, Aunts and Cousins. Some of the cousins were in Tennesse. We found this through census listing nieces and nephews that were visiting, etc.
