Posted on: San Saba Co., TX Queries<br> with Automated Mailing List Posting Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Tx/SanSaba/623 Surname: JAMES ------------------------- Since my original post I have found much information about the killing of my gr-grandfather, William A. James. He was shot 28 July 1896. He had gone with a wagon, to get water from the river and was shot with the Mob-signature, nine bullets. At that time San Saba Co. had gained state-wide renown for Mob-Rule. There were other vigilante-type killings, including Lige Henderson. Will is buried in Shiloh Cemetery. The grave used to be a sandstone marker, but now has a proper headstone which bears the everlasting accusation, "killed by the Mob", placed there by his gr-grandsons My gr-grandmother Martha (Bilberry) James and other relatives and relatives of relatives removed to Stonewall, Dickens and Kent Counties. Gr-grandma was also known as Aunt Sissy and the Widow James in some of the writings. I believe there is probably a lot more to learn about the shooting and this time period in TX. Margaret
