Many facts have been unearthed by George H. S. King, Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists, and I have read a vast amount of reference material relating not only to the persons but, also, to the times involved. As Maud Wilder Goodwin writes in her preface to White Aprons: "The obscurity which veils the entire history of the great struggle between tyranny and popular rights in Virginia a hundred years before the Revolution makes accuracy impos­ sible even for the most painstaking historian." And later depre­ dations and loss of records have further shrouded the image of past years. It must be admitted that some embroidery has been used in an effort to make interesting reading. But the data as given are essentially correct, and the genealogical tables given present accurate data. This work ceases with the generation preceding my own; it is hoped that you younger ones will be stimulated to carry the record further through a period that has shown many up­ heavals and an increasing horde of relatives. E. B. M. Vll ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ~ IRST THE WRITER wants to record deep appre­ ciation of the Donaldson Brown family's constant encourage­ ment and support of this study, without which it could not have been carried through.

  • 308 Lewis Thompson During the Fall of 1859, Lewis Thompson, Who Lived
    308 Lewis Thompson During the fall of 1859, Lewis Thompson, who lived at the Patterson and Leaky Mills, where the town of Leaky now stands, started to Uvalde with a load of new lumber, made of the beautiful cypress timber of that section. He was driving two yoke of oxen. When Thompson reached a point of about six miles south of Rio Frio, he stopped to gather pecans. The Indians slipped up and shot him. When found, Mr. Thompson’s body was pinned to the ground with an arrow. J.C. Ware and about nine others, who followed the Indian’s trail, soon found where the savages had butchered one of Mr. Thompson’s oxen. A short skirmish followed, when the Indians were encountered; and the whites recovered thirty-two head of stolen horses. Note: The author personally interviewed: J. C. Ware, who followed the Indians; E. L. Downes, who lived in that section of the country at the time; and others. Further Ref.: Vital Statistics of the U. S. Census Records of 1860.

Mr. Richardson had gone to the mill at Belton. Mrs. Richardson and her children remained at home. Late in the afternoon, Mary, age twelve, and John, aged eight, attempted to drive home the cows. They had stopped to eat grapes, about three hundred yards from the house when Mary saw Indians coming.
