William moved his family to Gillespie Co., Texas, near his father somewhere around 1874/75. They travelled by covered wagon. My mother, Lounell, remembers her grandmother Cook, Mary Elizabeth, telling her about their journey to Texas in a covered wagon. William outlived his wife by just over two years. Nancy died on Jan. 2, 1933.
