    1. [TXCOLL-N] Jefferson Anglin
    2. Hi All I have a family story and was wondering if any one can help me verify it. (lol) My grandfather was born and raised in McKinney. The son of Samuel Andrew Anglin and Purlina Shipman. He had an older brother named Jeff or Jefferson. When my grandfather was 12 (1918) Jeff was shot and killed by a jealous husband. Apparently there was no arrest or trial because my grandfather sat by the roadside every day for quite a while with a shotgun waiting for the man to go by so he could shoot him. He was very upset with his father for not taking revenge ie an eye for an eye. Jeff was supposedly shot while escaping the bedroom of a married woman. Story goes that he was jumping into the back of a buckboard and was shot in the back. Any body have any ideas on how I can check this story out or find out where it happened or anything else? Thanks for listening. Jo
