General Notes (Wife)

County Home Records - Bell County, Texas
Name: Mrs. Texana SHEPPARD
Age: 91
Date Entering Home: May 29, 1956
From or Near What Place: Holland, Texas
Relative or Friends: J. T. SHEPPARD son, Phone Bob GRAY 280F3-Holland, Texas
Address: Holland, Texas Route 2
Left the Home:
Date of Death: Sept. 12, 1956
Remarks: Policy with James L. COLEMAN-Cameron, Texas-Burns Funeral Home-Cameron, Texas
Original Record book page #: 56

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.
