We know from the diaries of James Redford Sr. (1821-1908) that his son Alex (1864-1953) was one of the men who helped to dig the graves for the victims of Albert:
| 8. | 172 | Aug 25 1885 | Alex at digging graves for Six people shot by El Lackey yesterday | Greenbury Lackey and wife; Mrs. C. C. Lackey (Fanny Stokes, daughter of J. C. and Lucy) Mattie Lackey, J. C. and Lucy Stokes | Sandy Cemetery |
Also, from the Blanco County Probate Records, we know what happened to some of the orphans.
Anna Mae Stokes (Daughter of Jim and Lucy Stokes) and Dora J. Lackey (Daughter of Charles Lackey and Fannie Stokes) were taken in by a C.M. Hornburg(Homburg?)
I am not sure why Fannie is listed as an heir of Jim and Lucy Stokes when her father was alive, perhaps someone could let me know?
Bennie and Jason Edward Stokes (Sons of J.C. and Lucy) went to live with the B.H. Watson family.
There is no record in the Probate Court that indicates what happened to Georgia, L.J., or Nettie Stokes.
Although the probate records only record Charles Edward Lackey (Son of Nathanial and Isabelle Lackey) being placed in the care of his older sister Minnie, we know from family history that all the children (Missouri, Nathanial, Joseph, Polly and Addie) were placed in her care and her Brothers (Sobe).
