Notes:

Is this the same woman as the Ida he was married to per the 1910 Sabine County Census? Richard and Ida had been married 10 years, and she was the mother of 5 children, 3 of whom were still living.

Notes:

According to SABINE COUNTY HISTORICAL SKETCHES AND GENEALOGICAL RECORDS "Sophronia P and Ruth (White), both had married brothers, Cannon and Richard Travis, cousins of Wm. Barret Travis of Alamo fame (p. 58). The Travis men fought with Marion 'The Swamp Fox' in the American Revolution. R.H. Travis was the son of Wm Travis, and g.son of John and Arabella Hurst Travis. This Travis lineage is a collateral line of William B. Travis of Alamo fame (p.73)"

According to MINUTES 1858-1890 OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HEMPHILL, Richard H. Travis was one of the eleven founding members of this church, along with his wife, Ruth C. Travis, as well as his brother and sister-in-law, Cannon and Sophronia Travis. Richard and Cannon Travis's membership in the church was rocky. On several occasions their membership was withdrawn, such as on 13 August 1859 when "Brothers R H Travis, Cannon Travis, & Wm T White came forward and acknowledge that they bin overtaken in a falt and beged the church to bare with them on a promise of assistence of that they would Refrain in the futer from such company where uppon the Church forgive them in love." Their occasions of sin seemed to center around "indulgin in profane swaring....and indulgin too mutch in intocking spirits." Over the thirty some odd years they were associated with the church, they were expelled several times, and usually soon readmitted.

Richard married Rutha Caroline White on 14 Sep 1843 in Amite County, Mississippi. Rutha (daughter of Edward White and Elizabeth Strickland) was born about 1822 in Mississippi; was buried in Travis Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
