C. Turner 1856 - 1858 H. Sheppard ================================================================================ General Notes (Wife) ================================================================================ County Home Records - Bell County, Texas Name: Mrs. Texana SHEPPARD Age: 91 Date Entering Home: May 29, 1956 From or Near What Place: Holland, Texas Relative or Friends: J. T. SHEPPARD son, Phone Bob GRAY 280F3-Holland, Texas Address: Holland, Texas Route 2 Left the Home: Date of Death: Sept. 12, 1956 Remarks: Policy with James L. COLEMAN-Cameron, Texas-Burns Funeral Home-Cameron, Texas Original Record book page #: 56 Mamaw says her name was not Tucker but Joines. I know her mother's name was Tucker when she died and was Joines before she married Tucker. It is possible she was married to a Joines before she married the Tucker. Census records usually record step-children as such and with their father's surname. If Ruthie married a Joines first, she would have married before the 1850 census on which she is shown to be 15 years of age. Girls did not normally marry that early in that time period. ================================================================================ Source Citations ================================================================================ 1.
