CEMETERY PHOTOS

Frances  Mayfield Bickerstaff and Seaborn Bickerstaff arrived in Titus Co., TX
in time for the 1850 census.  It is largely assumed Seaborn followed his
brother, Henry Bickerstaff to the area, as Henry was a land holder there by c.
1844.  Frances and Seaborn were accompanied to the Titus/Franklin area by 4 of
Frances' siblings and at least one additional brother of Seaborn's, John
Bickerstaff.  The Mayfield siblings were: Grandison Franklin Mayfield and wife,
Henrietta; Amanda M. Mayfield; Elizabeth Mayfield Trimmer (Obediah), and
Susannah Angeline Lowrance (Abile S.)

James Black "Buck" Bickerstaff was the first child of Frances M. and Seaborn
Bickerstaff.  His wife was Virginia M. ?  ... possibly SIMMS, daughter of
Charles Simms of Sulpher Springs.

James and Virginia Bickerstaff had two daughters, Susan, b. TX c. 1873 and
Frances Ladonia, b. TX Oct 5, 1877.  "Ladonia" m. Wade Hampton Awtry. Also, they
had two other children who died in infancy, buried near/next to James B. and
Virginia M. Bickerstaff, a son, Bennie, and a daughter, Mary.
