Things I Knew dated 11/93 Below are a few extra notes I happen to know about Grandfather Jesse Addy and the scrapes of ragged paper. Jessie (sic) Addy came to Texas in 1875 when my Mother (Mary Jane [Addy] Williams) was 5 years old. He came to Grayson County, Texas near the town of Denison, Texas. They lived there until 1883 and then they came to Gonzales County, Leesville, Texas. That is where he is buried. It is in the Leesville Cemetery. We pay dues to that cemetery to have his and grandmother's graves kept clean all the time. He (Jesse Addy) was 61 years older that my mother. And about 69 years old that Cora Addy, his youngest child. From information I got from the grave of Harrison (William Harrison Addy, Jesse's eldest child from 1st marriage to Mary Magdaline Summers), he died just 2 years after his father Jesse did. My grandfather Jesse Addy was 26 years older than my Grandmother who was Rachel Haynes and was his second wife. My father and mother wrote to Harrison Addy and Dr. John Addy as long as they lived. When Jesse, his father was so ill before he died Dr. John came to Texas to see him. After his death, and when I was very small Dr. John came to Texas again. I remember my father saying he liked him very much. My mother seemed to say most about her brother Harrison Addy. She seemed to have remembered him better as a small child. All these men's names that were on these papers that Jesse Addy had after he came to Leesville I knew. In 3 of them were my father's cousins. In an old leather bill fold that belonged to our grandfather we found thes little papers. Below you will find copies of them.
