Her parents, Jett 'Jeb' Robertson married 10 Oct 1839 in same Co., Nancy Ann Cotton. Also, Sophronia married 19 May 1857, same Co. Oliver Perry Abrams. From what I have found, last child, John W Abrams b. abt 1877 TX and all others were born in MS, so they had not been in TX for a long period of time. I am not related to them, but have been following the trail of my grgrandparents from MS to Kaufman, which is where my grandfather was born before moving AL. If Oliver served in Civil War, TX has great records as does MS, and have sent me everything on my great grandfather that signed up in MS but was in TX when he applied for his pension. They (TX Archives) even sent me a copy of the applications for my grGrandfather and his wife's burial applications, which told me where they are buried and now have the photos of their markers. Good luck on your search, Mary
