Children:

	1. Minerva STRALEY (b. May 7, 1850, TravTX; d. Feb 12, 1948, Copperas Cove, CoryTX; Find-A-Grave 46577357) m. William Martin THOMPSON "Bill" (b. 1846, AL; d. Dec 4, 1917, Copperas Cove, Coryell Co, TX; Find-A-Grave 46577483) on Sep 10, 1868, LampTX) Children:  Francis Marion THOMPSON "Gabe" (b. Apr 1, 1869, LampTX; d. Mar 6, 1939, Roswell, ChavNM; Find-A-Grave 46577179) Fanny THOMPSON (b. Nov 27, 1872, Adamsville, LampTX; d. Jun 6, 1873, TX, aged 6 months and 9 days; Find-A-Grave 46577202) Joseph M. William THOMPSON (b. Jul 9, 1871, Adamsville, LampTX) m. Maggie HILL, 1889 Notes: Bill Thompson was from Alabama. His full name may have been James William Martin Thompson. Interestingly, Minerva's death certificate (I have a copy on file) lists her father's birth place as Holland, and there is no information on her mother's maiden name or birth place. This causes me to wonder if Minerva was adopted, or was brought into the union by Sarah (her daughter to a previous suitor). William (hunting stock), Minerva (keeping house), and Francis M. are listed in the 1870 Lampasas Co. Census. Bill's parents were Pleasant G. Thompson (b. Nov 12, 1824; d. Aug 26, 1882, LampTX) and Mary Elizabeth Smith (b. 1830 in TN; d. LampTX). Bill's siblings were John Franklin, Benjamin, Haywood, Lola Ida Mae, Catherine, Robert Mack, Edward,  Ned and Fred M.  From Rose Pi�on via email, I learned that Gabe Thompson had a common-law marriage to Manuela "Nellie" VILLESCAS. In 1910 he was listed as a restaurant cook in Yeso, Chavez Co, NM.

Notes:

Joseph Leland "Lee" eventually left Virginia, and moved to Arkansas. There he met and married Sarah "Sallie" CLARK. She was a petite, 90 pound, 14-year-old girl at the time. I have Leland and Sallie's death certificates on file. Sam Houston's death certificate says that Lee was born in Illinois. This game from A.C. Straley, who lived in Lubbock and was the Informant on the Death Certificate. Lee and Sallie moved to Fannin County, Texas. Lee sat on the first jury held in Fannin County in 1837. They lived for a while in Yokum, TX where he was a freighter, with four yoke of oxen, hauling lumber from ports on the Gulf of Mexico. They later moved to Marble Falls in Burnet Co. TX, where they lived with General Edward BURLESON and wife (At one time, Leland was also personal friends with General Albert Sidney JOHNSON and Sam HOUSTON.). They next moved to San Marcos in Hayes County, TX. Then finally to Lampasas County, TX. Joseph was a 2nd Lt. Confederate Army, Texas Frontier Dist. in the Civil War. Their sons were given the names of famous American heroes or ancestors. Their daughters were named after Roman women or goddesses. Leland Straley donated land for the Straley School, the Baptist Church and Straley Cemetery. He and his wife and many Straleys are buried there.  His original home still stands and many Straleys still live in the Lampasas, Texas area. Lee died just 10 days shy of his 101st birthday. His death certificates says he was born in Giles County, VA. It also states that his father's name was "Charles M. Straley" from Virginia. I have this document on file. He is buried at Straley Cemetery, LampTX. The 1860 Lampasas County Census :ists a J.L.Straley and family.
