Notes

Commentary: DWD 4.100
Louisa Darwin was aged four when she travelled with her father, James, and his wife, Mary (Raper) Darwin to Texas in 1831. She was fifteen years old and it was still the Republic of Texas when she married Charles Ray, who was ten years her senior, in Montgomery Co., TX, on 28 Dec. 1842. The 1850 TX census shows them living in Grimes Co, TX, at the Darwin family home. By 1860, it would seem that the two children were orphans living in the household of Andrew Andrews in Grimes Co., TX.
