John Birdwell, Jr., who was murdered in the Linn Flat Raid in December, 1871, was my husband's GGG grandfather. There is a good narrative about the raid in THE BOOK OF NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, July 4, 1927, compiled by Nugent E. Brown, from "History and Description of Nacogdoches County, Texas, compiled and published by Richard W. Haltom, Editor and Proprietor of THE NACOGDOCHES NEWS, 1880.' I believe that there's a copy of this little book in the Steen Library at Stephen F. Austin State University. If you're unable to locate it, contact me.
