I saw a listing under "Cemeteries in San Augustine Co."--Magnolia. Family says my unknown Welch was killed at Magnolia (1863-bef 1870) The widow and two Welch children settled in San Augustine Co. Can anyone tell me anything about the cemetery? Is it very old and is there a list available of who is buried there? Also I have started research on my families in San Augustine Co and am finding a lot of killings and shootings in the area. Has anyone compiled a book on the notorious people of the area from abt 1835-70.The people seem to be toteing guns and shoot to settle things. There has to be a good story here about how and when the area became "civilized". Below is listed a 1860 Caddo Parish Jail Population!--I would imagine some of San Augustine might have relatives that were visiting there. Since I can't find my WELCH--I wonder if he was in the Caddo Parish Prison. I would like to hear from any of you that have stories about shootings and killings in San Augustine up to about 1880--and if you know of any of these people in the Caddo Prison.
