Notes |
- The biography of his son Edgar in the Historical Review of South-East Texas says that he was born in Georgia, though this seems to be an error, perhaps for his own father William or another ancestor. This biography also says that he made the journey to California in 1849, likely for the Gold Rush, but soon returned. He married his wife that year; as of 1850, they were living with his mother-in-law, who was by then a widow.
In the 1860 census for him--his wife is not in this household--there is at T.R. Hartman in his household, an attorney-at-law, aged 22 (b. abt. 1838). Presumably he is a relative of his wife's.
His wife does not seem to be living with him in the 1860 or 1870 census, and in 1870 the only child living with him is Willie Ruben. Apparently they were living apart for some reason. In these two censuses he is also living with his step-family the Farrows, with whom he was apparently in business (at least, in 1870 they have the same profession, "stock dealer"). In 1880 he is living in his son Edgar's household, this time with his wife. [4]
