Oh, thank you so much for all this. I have emailed my cousin's dau to ask my aunt for any assistance but don't know if they will work on this. Vicki Marjorie, I've always thought that the 14 year old in Navarro was Alfred Augustus, but I have no proof. I've never been able to find CC and Malissa in the 1870 census, but I believe they were also in Navarro during that whole time. Malissa had a child born September 11, 1870 and family sources say it was in Navarro CO. I need to do a line by line search of the entire county for them, but just haven't done it, I also need to dig through the pile of notes and recheck the exact dates,because sometime between 1872 an 1877 CC and Malissa divorced and then remarried....by 1880 they were in Erath CO.
