1880 Census of Blanco County

The 1880 census offers a good snapshot of Blanco County just prior to the murders. The proximity of all involved is illustrated in that (almost) every person involved can be found on pages 345 and 346 of the Blanco County Census from 1880. There is Al Lackey and his family, Greenberry and his, as well as John Nicholson and Charles Bundick. What is interesting, is that the Stokes' are not in this area, they were substantially further south on Sandy Creek. Which means Al must have had some particular complaint (in his mind) with the Stokes'.
