Letter - 1860, 02/06
from Mary M Jones to Aunt Susan Bounds and cousins. Told of how cold it was, and that Poppa preached at a house nearby, and coming back they ran into some people and they went to Dr. Throckmorton's and had dinner on the Cabeza; but Poppa went the other way. (d)
Note: "Dr. Throckmorton" was listed in the Goliad County census the following July. He's listed as John, a physician, age 35, but he didn't know where he was born. He had a wife and six kids ranging from 16 to 6, born in Arkansas and Texas. He also was a slave owner, as listed in slave schedule.
George (Mary's brother) was studying to be a doctor in Goliad County. Can't help but wonder if Dr. Throckmorton somehow assisted him in his studies.
