James married Florence Drawhorn before 1888. Florence was born on 1 Aug 1867; died on 25 Dec 1894 in Texas; was buried in Tebo Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
The FindAGrave memorial for Jim Baldree's first wife, and his eldest son, has photos of two markers for Florence. One appears to be a handmade cement marker, with handdrawh or handengraved death information. The second is a presumably newer pink granite marker with her name and dates of birth profesionally engraved. The older marker is double, and she shares this with her son, Robert. It is inscribed as follows:

Bob Baldree, Born Sept 28, 1889 Died July 12, 1928
Florence Baldree, Born Aug 1, 1867 Died Dec. 25 1894

It is engraved in all capital letters, and the letter N is write backwards in each case. It appears both of the original markers were installed sometime after 1963, when Robert died.

There is a second seperate granite marker for Bob as well.

On the annotated transcription of the Tebo Cemetery they also note that a marker is at the foot of "Florence" and is inscribed "Wife of J. D. Baldree"...assuming that the double marker for Florence and Bob is in error, due to Bob not being the name of her husband. As Bob is actually the eldest son of J. D. and Florence, it is accurate.

John married Frances "Fannie" Rebecca Burns before 1868. Frances was born in Dec 1846 in Arkansas; died about 1936; was buried in McMahan's Chapel Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Researcher Ralph Burns of Mississippi posted a note to her record on 1880 San Augustine County, Texas census, indicated her maiden name was BURNS. This matches the Texas Death certificate information for her children James, Pinkie, Lou, Della, and Eula.

In 1910, and again in 1930, she was enumerated with her daughter Della, and son-in-law, Emmett Cordray.

The following was inscribed on her tombstone: "Remember youth as you pass by, As you are now so once was I, As I am now so you will be, Prepare for death and follow me."
