Julia & Addie German
They are daughters of John German and Lydia Cox. The picture was in A 
book, "Girl Captives of the Cheyenne". John and Lydia left Fannin County in 
1870 for Colorado. The trip took 4 years. When they were one day from Colorado 
they were attacked by the Cheyenne Indians. John and his Son Stephen, his wife 
Lydia and daughters Rebecca,  Joanna were massacred  in Kansas near Monument 
Station. The other four daughters were captured by the Indians and remained 
with them for several months.  They were released to the US Cavalry.  A book 
was written about this incident by one of the captured daughters Catherine 
German Brooks. Lydia Cox was sister to my gggrandmother, Elizabeth Cox who 
married George Watkins.
