Their mother married a Mills and moved to AR or OK. She later married a McCoy and had a son Buck McCoy. She died after 1896, leaving Richard & Bessie orphans. In 1900 Bessie is in the family of Thomas J. Key with his daughter Cassa (Catherine) Smithers. Thomas Key was in Hunt Co, TX in 1880 where his daughters married into the Smithers family. Would like to hear from anyone who knows of these families.
