It is a
mystical story of my findings of Louisa Boxley and her children. My cousin
"Margaret
Parker" told me a brief story that her Mother "Sophia Lewis" shared with her about her
Grandmother "Rose Emma" who loved to wear men hats. She said that
her Mother told her these stories when she was a young girl. She
remembered in particular the story of how "Rose Emma" spoke so proudly
that her Mother and Father were "Elizabeth and George Williams", so this
is where my research began. I started with the 1880 census and found Eliz
"Boxley" Williams living in the town of Refugio. She lived with her
husband George, her two daughters, Rose Emma and Sophronia, her son
"William Lewis" and her baby sister Winnie Boxley. Now at this time I
didn't know Eliza maiden name nor her mother or father's name, but I
assumed it would be "Boxley" because that was her sister Winnie's
last name and Winnie was only 16 years old and single at this time.
