Crow Family Plot in Locklin Cem, Milam Co., Texas

Is this the last resting place of

Nancy Isabel Crow-Castleman

????????

The parents, James & Sarah Crow have similar whiteish headstones and their graves are marked with a cement berm, to the right of James is a flat stone and a tree, one of very few trees or shrubs in the entire cemetery, can this be Nancy???

After searching many records I have been unable to absolutely pinpoint the burial site for Soam's first wife. I have been able to trace her parents and have even found "Sam & Nannie's" original marriage license but no record of her death and burial exists as far as I can find, this leads me to speculate on the following.

Soam was reading for the law in Milam County Texas when he met and married Nancy. She died there a few years later near or at her parents home in San Gabriel, Milam County. Her father died 5 years later and her mother 12 years after that. There are nearly identical headstones on her parents graves, no marker shows that Nancy is interred there; however there is a stone next to the parents and a tree, one of very few trees in the cemetery, placed at what would be the head of the grave.

I would pose the thought that Soam, being a apprentice lawyer, so to speak, would not have had the wherewithal to place an engraved headstone and placed a large flat stone there then, planted a tree to memorialize the grave of his wife. Later the parents were also buried there.

If anyone has better information on this, please contact me and I will adjust.
