General Notes: Husband - David Samuel SHEPHEARD
=================================================================================================

I was told that he came to Texas with his sister.
  Another family member says his name was Davidson Samuel Shepheard.

=================================================================================================
General Notes: Wife - Texanna TUCKER
=================================================================================================

     Mamaw says her name was not Tucker but Joines. I know her mother's name was Tucker when she
died and was Joines before she married Tucker. It is possible she was married to a Joines before
she married the Tucker. Census records usually record step-children as such and with their
father's surname. If Ruthie married a Joines first, she would have married before the 1850
census on which she is shown to be 15 years of age. Girls did not normally marry that early in
that time period. [Now that I've had several years to study this family, I realize that Mamaw
was getting Ruthie and Texanna confused. She knew that Ruthie's name was Joines but didn't
realize that was her maiden name.]

Texanna died a month after I was born, her great-great-grandchild. Dad carried Mamaw, Mom and me
to see her just before she died. He says that's when he realized he needed a camera. He bought
Mom an old Brownie and got himself an 8 mil movie camera. I wish he had bought them before we
visited.
