Shared note

His grandfather Hiram wrote in 1882 that Ed was somewhere in Texas "of course doing no good". Another letter referred to him living "not far from Sherman".

Shared note

T.G. Wallingford wrote to Hiram Wallingford that Ed's time in the penitentary was due to end in on 1 October 1883. Hiram said he was in Decatur, Indiana, about that time "well dressed and plenty of money". He went on to say he was wanting to marry a local widow from his mother's neighborhood, who is "of good character and industrious". She was only waiting for a divorce as her husband had left her more than two years previously, and for no cause on her part.

Shared note

In the 1880 Lawrence, Kaufman, Texas census John and Edwin are living in Texas.
