Walter married Caroline "Lina" Gooch on 10 Apr 1910 in Sabine County, Texas. Caroline (daughter of Claiborne Patrick Gooch, Sr. and Roxy Jane Harper) was born about 1890 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"Descendant of Epperson Payne, who fought in the Texas Revolution" (White and Toole)

Notes:

At one time he owned the land where the Jasper County Court House now stands. (White and Toole, p 72).

From FindAGrave:

Thomas E. Wood, Sr. was the son of Charles A. Wood and Elizabeth Muse. His middle name was probably "Edwin" since he is listed by that name in the 1850 census and "Edwine" in the 1860 census. His son, Thomas E. Wood, Jr. went by "Edd."

He married Nancy Meigs Sep 28, 1865 in Jasper Co, TX. They were the parents of four children.

Thomas E. Wood, Sr. died in 1877 at the age of 33 years, leaving his wife, age 29, with four young children to care for. Nancy married second William Wesley "Wes" Dalley on Sep 20, 1879 in Sabine Co, TX. Nancy Dalley is buried in Brookeland Cemetery, Brookeland, Sabine Co, TX.

It is not known where Thomas E. Wood, Sr. is buried. He could be here in the Wood Cemetery near other family members in one of the many unmarked graves, or he could be buried elsewhere in San Augustine or Sabine County. This beautiful spot on the shore of present-day Lake Sam Raburn is a fitting place to honor his short life.

Notes:

The daughter of John and Nancy Wilson Meigs. (White and Toole, p 72). She married second William Wesley "Wes" Dalley on Sep 20, 1879 in Sabine Co, TX, and both are buried at Brookeland Cemetery in Sabine County.

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.

Thomas married Martha "Mattie" Bell Burkett. Martha was born on 5 Apr 1867 in Simpson County, Mississippi; died on 3 Mar 1955 in Sabinetown, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
At the time of the 1920 Sabine County, Texas census, Thomas and Martha Felts had eight children living at home with them, ranging from 32 year old William to 9 year old Robert. They lived next door to 31 year old Walter Felts. He is assumed to be their son based in their last name, their proximity, his age and place of birth, and the place of birth of his parents per the census records. This is based solely on census information, and has not yet been verified based on other records. Additionally, 27 year old Virgil D. Felts (Household #345-365) and 27 year old Clarence E. Felts (Household #358-378) are also assumed to be sons based on their last name, ages, place of birth and the places of births of their parents. This also is based soley on census records.

Helen Gomer Schluter, a granddaughter, self-published a book titled "The Thomas Jefferson Felts Family of Mississippi and Sabine County, Texas, Including the Burkett and Polk Families" in June 1988.

Claiborne married Roxy Jane Harper in Jul 1888 in Sabine County, Texas. Roxy (daughter of James Robert Harper and Delia Rice) was born on 30 Apr 1867 in Texas; died on 31 Jan 1946; was buried in Harpers Chapel Cemetery, Sabinetown, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

\\According to the book "Sabine County Marriages 1875-1900 1900-1910 Prior to 1875" by Blanche Toole, "Gooch, C.P. (married) R.J. Harper 3 July 1888 by M. Youngblood. Based on the following census records, it appears she was born in approximately 1868, and would have been about 20 years old when she married.

Roxie appears to be the daughter of James Robert Harper and Delia Rice, both of whom were born in Mississippi. At the time of the 1880 Sabine County census, they had a 12 year old daughter named Jane. There are no other Harper families in Sabine county with a daughter of that age.
