Posted on: Brown County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Brown/773 Surname: Gideon, Hall, Bassore, Clay, Hays ------------------------- Since posting the previous query, I have been informed that James H. Gideon was Sheriff of Brown Co TX from 1873 to 1876, when he became District Attorney. He was elected to County Treasurer in 1880, but died 3 Oct 1881 in Brown Co. (No proof available yet.) His wife at the time of his death was Henrietta Clay Bassore Hall, who was born in 1844 in AR. Jim was born 24 Dec 1813 in Wilkes Co NC. He married Lucinda Hays 22 Mar 1822 in TN. They moved to Taney Co MO, where Lucinda died after 1860. Anyone with more information?
