Amphion Cemetery
Annette, Joyce, Marty & Ronny came to Pleasanton today to see Daddy, do some geneology research and go to Amphion Cenetery.
The Harkeys went to see Daddy while Uncle Ronny went to the Atascosa Count Courthouse to do some research on Baylor Winn. Baylor Winn was a Justice of the Peace in Atascosa. Baylor Winn is Daddy's Great, Great Grandfather. Baylor Winn has a very interesting life. Some of it documented in the book Natches. No one knows where Baylor Winn's grave is. Still a mystery.
Ronny & Mary plan to go to Natches this summer to go to Mr. Johnson's museum. Mr. Johnson is the one that Baylor Winn is alleged to have ambushed and shot in the back "like a coward".
Amphion is a historical goldmine. We found the grave of the boy that was killed by Indians mentioned above and we also found the graves of Calvin Winn and Sarah Winn. Calvin Winn's tombstone is below. We are not sure which Calvin Winn this is, there were 3 Calvin Winns.
Below is Calvin Winn's tombstone along with a Texas Ranger marker. Ronny is going to do some Texas Ranger research to see if Calvin A. Winn is one of the 8,000 - 10,000 Texas Rangers. This would be Baylor Winn's father.
