    Notes:

    Rubye Burkett writes that he was a surveyor by trade, and moved to Texas in 1843. He was the first county clerk of Newton county. One of his first duties was to mark the line between Jasper and Newton counties, as will as furnish a table and chairs for the county court. He married thied Harriet Poole Hall, widow of Britt Hall, and she died soon after their marriage.

    In May of 1855, George, now 70 years of age, and his son Charles Bowman were hauling logs on an ox cart, near the "Wilson Woods place". George had stopped to open a gate and was gored by one of the oxen. His eleven year old son, Charles Bowman, pulled enough logs from the wagon to cover his father and ran for help but George was mortally wounded and there was nothing they could do.

    The inventory of his estate included his surveying tools and maps, four boxes of books, including "Josephus and Cisero." George also taught school, was a member of the State Legislature and a farmer.


    After George's tragic death, Joseph Marshall and Charles Bowman were found living with their half sister, Hester Ann, who was married to Asa Lafitte Stark. The whereabouts of Amanda Catherine and Julia Cassandra at that time are unknown. They may have already been married.
