In 1879, Dr. Windham was sent a "cure for cancer"
from his nephew Samuel B.
Windham. (as
recounted in a newspaper article) -
From Betty M. Pierce of Brownwood, TX:
Francis Monteith (Fannie), born 1816, married a widower with two young sons, Dr. John Darby
Windham, in July 1841 in Nacogdoches. Windham, who was born in Alabama, arrived in Texas from Mississippi around 1838. He applied for a land grant of 640 acres in Sabine County and one of 640 acres in Milam County; the latter grant was made unconditional in 1848. Fannie and the doctor moved to Angelina County at or before its creation in 1847 and he was one of five County Commissioners serving on the first commissioner's board. He also often stood bond for others on the court. The court duties included setting ferry fees for Gilliland's Crossing (5 cents on foot, 3 cents for a horse and a maximum toll of 50 cents for 4 oxen and a wagon), appointing road workers (including his son Daniel and James Kuykendall) and laying off and blazing roads.
The Windhams lived at Windham Prairie, Zavala, in Angelina County and farmed on a large scale. According to the 1860 census for Angelina County, Dr.
Windham had 100 acres of improved land and 1397 acres of unimproved land, with a total value of $2,500, plus $500 for
improvements. There were 11 horses, 4 mules, 75 milk cows, 6 oxen, 175 other cattle, 40 sheep, and 50 pigs, with a total value of $2,890. They also produced 20 bu of rye, 600 corn, 10 bales of cotton, 400 lbs wool, 4 bu beans, 20 bu potatoes, 120 bu sweet potatoes, 180 lb butter, 200 lb cheese, 30 lb beeswax, 200 lb honey, and $100 in home manufactures. (The agricultural land evidently represented only part of his property. The 1860 census gives the value of his real estate as $7,985 and that of his personal property as $16,790. Whichever numbers are correct, he was a relatively wealthy man.)
-
The next family listed
in the census is Mary Monteith and her children. She is Frances'
mother.
