San Antonio Prairie, east on Texas Hwy 21 in Burleson County?
5)"Mrs. Perry" - Could this be Arabella Belle [Vick] Perry, sister of Little Berry, Joshua Thomas and Hartwell D. Vick}, wife of Henderson W. Perry? If so, apparently there wasn't first-name closeness between Mary Caroline and her sister-in-law!!!
6)"Nely and Chely Sikes" - Can't seem to matah these up! I show a Shelly Sikes, b. 1854 in Sumter County, Alabama, and Charity Sikes, b. 1855-1856 in Sumter County, Alabama - {both are children of William Holiver Sikes, Sr., father of William Holiver Sikes, Jr.{husband of Lou Vicy Jane [Vick], Susan Elizabeth Sikes {who married Joseph Henry Vick}, and Sallie Dial Sikes {who married John Henry Vick}, as well as Jack Johnson Sikes {my grandfather and husband of Arabella [Vick], younger sister of Joseph Henry Vick}.
