The agony is merciless. The pain cuts deep. Deeper and more vicious than anyone can imagine when you lose a child. Unfortunately, hun’dreds of parents have had to endure this nightmare after losing their teens in car crashes in which they weren’t wearing their seat belts.
Texas State Society U.S. Daughters of 1812 Corresponding Secretary Lorie Sullivan Williams was the special guest at the January meeting of Mark Epperson Chapter U.S. Daughters of 1812. She presented an educational, informative, and interesting program on the Battle of the River Raisin, which occurred south of Detroit in the War of 1812. Sunday, January 23, the date of her program, was the anniversary of this battle which resulted in the deaths of many of the Kentucky volunteers who fought there. One survivor was the ancestor of Mark Epperson Chapter member Sue Lazara. “Remember the Raisin” became a rallying battle cry for the American soldiers for the remainder of the war. In addition to her Power Point, she displayed a large selection of books on the Battle of the River Raisin as well as information on militiamen from Kentucky.
James Skinner, Sr., claimed 640 acres of land in the Red River Co.. TX, area that became Cass Co. on 3 Jul 1841. Witnesses were John Barnes and Calvin Cunningham. He converted the conditional certificate to unconditional on 17 Dec 1845. James Skinner then apparently moved to Bexar Co., TX, because he purchased 200 acres of land there from Enoch Jones, and then he sold 200 acres to Adolphe Schmidt of Comal Co. on 24 Feb 1849. James Skinner, Sr., of Bexar Co., filed on 17 Nov 1848 to appoint James Skinner, Jr., as his attorney to transact his business in Cass Co., so his sojourn in Cass was relatively brief
