Doyle, I have Poley b. abt. 1863. So what happened to the twins???? They must have already left home by 1880. I agree that John C. Witzel is born in 1813. I don't agree that Charlotte was born that late. I think she is born abt 1821. So if she marries at age 19 that makes Margaret born abt 1840. and Margaret could then have been married in 1855. Margaret is married in May 19, 1855 according to court records in Fannin County. So son John is born about 1 year later or 1857. and Poley about 1 or 2 after that. She could have even been preggie with Poley when the shooting took place in 1858. I wonder then if the twins died as toddlers or something. ken At 05:54 PM 4/12/02 -0500, you wrote: >Thanks Nancy, > >All these bits and pieces are beginning to paint a good picture of the family >I appreciate the help.
