My grandfather, Jonah WATSON married Florence LITTLE in Cameron, Milam County on December 26, 1894. They had a daughter, also named Florence, born January 23, 1899 in Snyder, TX. The mother died a few days later, on January 27, 1899 in Snyder. It is also possible that they had a son named Jonah N. before little Florence was born, but I haven't found any proof of that. Does this fit into any of the LITTLE genealogies that any of you are researching? -----Original Message----- From: janemc [mailto:janemc@airmail.net] Thank you for this information.

Surnames: Rocha Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hkB.2ACE/5969 Message Board Post: Cameron Herald, Thur., 23 April 1903 Murder & Arrest - By careful and confident work, Sheriff Avriett uncovered what promises to be one of the most dastardly crimes committed in this county. Last September, Pamilla Rocha, a Mexican, murdered his 6-year old step-son with a stick out in the woods in the Salem neighborhood. The boy’s mother assisted in the burial of her son. Rocha was cruel to his wife and he promised her he would not mistreat her again if she would promise to keep the murder a secret. She did this, possibly through fear, and matters were alright for 4-months, when Rocha again became brutal in the treatment of his wife. Perhaps fearing disclosure, Rocha left the county last February and his abandoned wife was induced to disclose information which reached Sheriff Avriett. On April 14th, the Sheriff arrested Rocha at Whiney, Hill county, and was brought to Cameron and in an examining trail before Justice Lankford, Rocha was refused bail. [lengthy article]
