Documentation:
1. Senn, Ima Holder, David Samuel Shepheard. I had several telephone interviews with Ima from 2000-2002. We discussed her family and Wiley's family. She had an incredible memory and she had "notes" about things she was afraid she would forget. I don't know what happened to her notes and I wish I had recorded our conversations. She is my grandmother.

Notes:
David Samuel SHEPHEARD
* I was told that he came to Texas with his sister.
* Another family member says his name was Davidson Samuel Shepheard.
Texanna TUCKER
* Mamaw says her name was not Tucker but Joines. I know her mother's name was Tucker when she died and was Joines before she married Tucker. It is possible she was married to a Joines before she married the Tucker. Census records usually record step-children as such and with their father's surname. If Ruthie married a Joines first, she would have married before the 1850 census on which she is shown to be 15 years of age. Girls did not normally marry that early in that time period. [Now that I've had several years to study this family, I realize that Mamaw was getting Ruthie and Texanna confused. She knew that Ruthie's name was Joines but didn't realize that was her maiden name.]
* Texanna died a month after I was born, her great-great-grandchild. Dad carried Mamaw, Mom and me to see her just before she died. He says that's when he realized he needed a camera. He bought Mom an old Brownie and got himself an 8 mil movie camera. I wish he had bought them before we visited.

If there is no SOURCE, I have no PROOF! If the source is a person, the information is HEARSAY!
