They migrated to Texas in about 1859. They had eleven children: William Walsh, Gabriel, John McGalee, Sarah E., Bartlett M., Mary, Catherine, Gideon Alexander, Galveston Texas, Robert A. Bartlett M. Smith married Mary A. Mills on July 23, 1867 and they lived in Bell County. William Walsh married Martha A. Fletcher in Brazos County, and they settled in Williamson County. John McGalee married first, Martha Shipman and second Margaret M. Harral. They settled in Milam County. Gideon and Martha lived in Bell County and Robertson County. I have been told Martha is buried in South Belton, but I have not been able to locate the cemetery.
