Cemetery marker, Groveton, Trinity Co, TX. Mollie Winkler, Samuel Rufus, Squire; and Caroline Lorance. No dates. The entry claims Samuel as the spouse of Caroline nee Lorance and that they married 1834 - not likely since he wasn't even born. Claims a sister to Samuel as Susan Anne Johnston Currie, b. 6 Jan 1843, d. 12 Oct 1896, Crockett, Houston Co, TX, wife of James Thomas Currie. I wonder if instead, Caroline was the MOTHER of Samuel & Susan? And, in fact, she was - see the 1850 census - but there is no sister Susan who would have been age 7.
