Posted on: Llano County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Llano/335 Surname: WHITLOCK, HAILE, GARNER, COOPER ------------------------- F.M. WHITLOCK was in Llano Co. by 1860, as a single man age 34, and living in the home of Isaac Sampson HAILE and wife Sarah Ann GARNER, on the Llano side of the Colorado River near present area of Long Mountain. Since Mr. WHITLOCK is referred to as MARION on the 1870 Census for Llano Co., it is assumed his full name was Francis Marion, since in that time period, these two names were frequently together. In 1870, F.M. was married to SUSAN ? born in KY with 4 children in their home. The oldest, William was 4; Sarah 2, Mary 1, and Franklin 3/12. Since the massacre took place in 1870, it was just a few months after this census was taken Yes, William was referred to as Willie in other articles written about this event, and yes, he was living in Arizona in 1925. Even though he knew who he was and remembered the event, he did not want to come back to the white world. F.M. may have known the Hailes back in Union Co. S.C. where they were in 1850 since the 1870 census says F.M. was also born in S.C. The family are all buried together in a mass grave on the Burnet side of the Colorado, near their home, in the Hoover's Valley Cemetery. The road to the north of this cemetery was the original road that crossed the river there at what was referred to as the Ft. Mason crossing. It is not know who F.M.'s wife, Susan, was, BUT she MAY have been Susan Cooper, daughter of Calvin & Sarah F. Cooper, who was 12 in 1860. This family lived as neighbors to the HAILE and WHITLOCK families and came to the area before 1860 from Wayne Co. KY.
