Below you will find more on:
1)Martha Susan WEAVER GRAVES LOGAN ??????’shusbands and families
2)Mr. Logan’s birth family and siblings
3)A descendancy outline for Mr. LOGAN’s sister Lydia Ellen LOGAN who married Andrew J. PRICHARD and the expansion of this family in nearby counties and several other surnames shown below.
Primary SURNAMES below:
LOGAN, PRICHARD, MINTER, CROCKER, HICKS, McCORMICK and HESTER
Essentially they were quite spread out:
LOGAN was in Upsher Co. TX (northeast)
PRICHARD in Howard (west), Midland (west), Dallas (northeast),and Dimmit (south) Cos. TX
- - - - - - - - and also in Deschutes, Lane and Coos Cos., OR
- - - - - - - - - -(also surnames OLSEN, JONES, GRAHAM, VanTHEIL)
- - - - - - - - and also in King and Lincoln Cos., WA, and San Francisco Co., CA

I’m looking for cousins from the LOGAN, PRICHARD, MINTER, CROCKER, HICKS, McCORMICK and HESTER families shown below who might know about the murder near Gilmer, Upshur Co., TX of their great aunt Martha Susan WEAVER GRAVES LOGAN ?????? b.ca.1856-d.ca.1883 by her farmer husband who had a metal plate in his head.
I’m interested in Martha Susan WEAVER b.ca.1856. The story I have from my mother-in-law in the 1970’s goes like this.
Martha m1.ca.1872 Mr. GRAVES and had Mary ca.1873 and Joseph T. b.ca.1875 (he m. Sally CAGLE)
--- - - - Mr. Graves died about 1875-1877
Martha m2.1877 James R. LOGAN and had Ola L. 1879-1912 (she m. William L. TERRY) and Laura b.ca.1880
--- - - - James R. Logan died ca.1880
Martha m3.ca.1880 wealthy farmer with metal plate in his head.
--- - - - Wealthy famer kills wife, some kids, 1 negro boy, and himself in 1880’s near Gilmer, Upshur Co., TX.
Martha, above,was married second to James R. LOGAN 1846-1880.
James comes from this LOGAN family:

Please let me know which of the above you are related to and who told you about the murder.Is this a real story or have I been pulled into researching a tall tale?
The above descendancy chart is a first cut draft created from census records at FamilySearch and deaths via Find-A-Grave and some from tress at Family Search and Rootsweb if I can believe them.I probably made some errors connecting the families.If you want me to add or delete from this outline of descendants I will be glad to get more info and make corrections.
