Find a Grave memorial 40914223 (Gravel Hill Cemetery, Oak Grove, Bowie County, Texas): born 10 Dec 1829, Jasper County, Georgia; died 12 Apr 1899, Bowie County. Inscription "THO LOST TO SIGHT, TO MEMORY DEAR"; the contributor notes the rest of the stone could not be read. Burial cited. Sourced, grade B.

CONFLICT: death 12 Jul 1899 (headstone reading in this tree) versus 12 Apr 1899 (Find a Grave). Left as recorded.

Several source records were descriptions of events (S117, S118, S119, S121, S122); their text is now in the event notes. The Civil War service summary (enlisted 2 Jul 1861, Company H, 13th Alabama Infantry) reads like a regimental database entry; no record seen. The land-patent note is now a land event citing the Homestead Act reference (S123); the patent itself was not looked up on the BLM General Land Office site.

The Event-Misc ABT 1869, Coosa County, has no description or source and was left as is. Death place: Avery is in Red River County, Texas, next to Bowie County. Baker County, Alabama (1870 census) was renamed Chilton County in 1874.
