Notes:

Said to be a son of Matthew CARRICO and Rachel WILKERSON.

White and Toole write "Matthew Carrico... Received a land grant of 640 acres of land for services in the Tex. Rev. at Goliad...Rachel Wilkerson's (father)...James Wilkerson, received a grant in Bexar County for services in Capt. Teal's company during the Texas Revolution. James Wilkerson was a Texas Ranger and Indian fighter under Capt. Mabbitt of Shelby County, receiving his last pay for this service in 1852 at old Fort Houston. (White and Toole, p 72).

However, Nell Carrico Denova emailed that "Although Rachael Wilkerson Carrico's father, listed in the White and Toole book, "Sabine County Historical Sketches and Genealogical Records", is shown as being James Wilkerson, I still can't find anything on him, in the Texas Revolution or his army papers, or Texas Ranger, or anything. I'm not able to find out who his wife--Rachel's mother--was either.Rachael. My sister, Fran and I have made several trips to Panola, but never one to Sabine, but we need to find some of the family that is living, and ask if any of them may know who Rachel's mother was, or if in fact, James was her father, and not a DAVID Wilkinson.

Notes:

The daughter of James Henry Gary, who was brother of Govy Gary, the grand-father of W.R. Gary who was Supt. of Pineland Schools for a number of years before moving to Beaumont. (White and Toole, p 72). Virgie Speights writes that Mary Gary's father John Henry Gary, was born in Alabama and came to Texas with his brothers, Govey and Ike.

The transcription of her tombstone instead has her year of birth as 1852.
