Crawford County family who migrated to Texas and were overcome by Cholera... a cousin sent me the answer to my Queston: The Moore Family all but perished when the slaves picked up some clothes infected with Cholera. "...but I think the family you referred to was the family of George Moore, Sr. of Robley, near Roberta in Crawford Co. This group, with fifteen whites and seventy two slaves, left Knoxville for Anderson, Grimes Co., Texas on Monday Jan. 23, 1854. The trip went well until they reached Galveston, Texas, where they encountered an outbreak of Asian Cholera. From there the story is one of incredible horror. Nine members of the Moore family and four members of the related Crute family died in ten days. Thirty two of the slaves also died. If this is the story that you remember, it is in the back of a book by Emmie Carnes Bankston of Roberta, HISTORY OF ROBERTA AND CRAWFORD COUNTY. The book was not widely distributed and I expect a copy might be hard to find. '[I found it at the Washington Memorial Library or the Crawford County Library]. Thanks for answering me Dennis, Gaila
