Also correspondence with Patricia Heffron Marburger.
HFH pg 43 has the following:
"Rev David Allen Mcginnis lived in WV as do most of his children. His son Enoch lives in TX but not near the families of his uncles. Melcena, David's daughter, lived at St. Mary's on the Ohio river. David's brother, Melville lived near Beeville, TX. His brother Oliver lived in TX and in FL.
Fletcher's family are scattered one in Galveston, one in Cleveland, TX, one at Liberty Hill, TX. Mary who md William Johnston never went to TX (nor did David.) and she lived at Huntington, where her family still lives. Huntington is where the estate of Mr Beuhring was. They had a deer park, a boat landing and his boats carried produce the length of the rivers. One of his or Melcena's daughters, no Melcena's granddaughters lives in Houston, but their youngest son, Millard Beuhring, still lives. He had two sons but both died and he says the name dies with him. He was born in 1858 and his mother (died?) in 1860. His father died in 1859.
