You may know more than me, but I believe the Sophronie you're asking about (sp changes) is my great-grandmother. Sophronie's father was James Taylor, and her mother was Martha. Martha must have died by 1860 because she is not listed in the 1860 Cherokee County, TX census and James is listed living with Sophronie. My Sophronie was born in TN on 09/29/1838 and died 07/11/1921 in Spicewood, Burnet County, TX. She and her father, James Taylor, (and others?) were in Cherokee County, TX by the mid 1850s. Oct 5, 1858, Sophronie married William Riley Thompson in Cherokee County, TX (I have license). They had 10 children (that I know of). William Riley Thompson was born in Jackson County, AL 09/23/1831 and died 11/13/1919 in Spicewood, Burnet County, TX. William and Sophronie moved to Burnet County in 1874 because of the malaria epidemic. The children, all born in Texas were: Henrietta b 1859, d before 1874, probably of malaria James Malcolm b 1865, d bef 1930 in OK William Roy b 1867 Sena b 1869, d before 1874, probably of malaria Andrew Jackson (my grandfather) b 02/07/1872 d 11/29/1944 in TX George Washington (Andrew's twin) d 1930 in CA William L. b 09/19/1874, d as a boy Robert Henry b 09/1876, d 12/27/1937 John M b 1877 Tommie b 06/04/1883, d 10/29/1886 I have a picture of Sophronie and William taken probably in the late 1890s. Both are buried in the Rockvale Cemetery in Spicewood. I would be very interested in any additional info you have.
