I have that Eli Fitzwater appeared in Texas sometime in 1860, after his stint with the Texas Rangers he met Mattie sometime later and they had a kid named Tom. Mattie is listed in the 1880 census living with her mother Catherine Callaway and they are both widows, with young Tom being listed as a Farmer. So does anyone out there have any information about Eli? Or even what happened to Mattie before and after the 1880 census? I welcome all responses--Dave
