Just wanteed to let you know Marc that William Vines in this Diary you are mentioning was my GG Grandfather. His family called him Pa Billy.He fled to Lousiana after murdering someone, so this confirms the tale.He had a half Caddo Indian Wife. Hampton Vines was from that marriage and he was my GGrandfather. The family settled in Sabine Parish, LA.He and his Second wife whom they called Ma Billy helped raise the children that were left behind once Hamp's wife Rosa passed away(soon after baby Rosa was born).My Grandmother was Emma Mae Vines and was in the group of siblings Pa and Ma Billy helped raise.Maybe this is of some interest to the Vines researchers out there.An added note, they lived in a dog-trot log cabin and my Grandmother grew up like a "pioneer" since she had Grandparents helping to raise her.This is where my father spent his first three years of life as his father was off fighting in World War 11.
