The NASH / SAXON connection (Tex)
(I have left out living persons)
Emma was the d/o SANFORD SAMUEL SAXON, Baptist Minister, b. abt 1825 GA, d. abt 1873 Fayette Co.,TX and Maranza Anna Adams in Butler Co., Ala. in 1860 (Samuel Saxon & Elijah Adams were working together on the railroad) d. abt 1873 Fayette Co., TX d/o Elijah Adams & Mary Lewis.
She married Punch NASH. Interesting story:
Emma Saxon had taken a stagecoach to a town, more than likely it was in Bastrop County. As she was getting off the stagecoach, a gust of wind raised the hem of her dress enough to show her ankle. She was so embarrassed that she promptly fainted. Junius Fletcher "Punch" Nash was the stagecoach driver, probably sitting "shotgun". ( See Business Directory Compiled from the Bastrop Advertiser 1854 - ...) -- stage coach driver, Bastrop to McDade [12 Apr]" ) He later became a Deputy Sheriff (see 1910 Census Bastrop Co. TX) and by the 1930 Census, was listed as "Warden" in the Kleberg County Jail.
Junius "Punch" Nash had the measles, April 12, 1879 (see: Abstracts from Bastrop Advertiser - Bastrop County TX )
