Does anyone have a list of Bailey and Jame Sloan's offspring and their
husbands or wives?
Thanks

Abstracted from "Bonham News" 12 Jan 1902: The work started some weeks ago
to raise funds to erect a monument to the memory of Bailey Inglish, Bonham's
founder, is progressing very well. These old pioneers who rescued this
county from the savages, and who laid the foundation for our present
prosperous condition, are nearly all gone, but are not forgotten. Bailey
Inglish built the first fort in this county; Porter Moore and Geo.
Stephenson who were with him in the fort afterwards built the first church
in the county at the old Smyrna camp ground. Newt Moore of this city, is a
son of Porter Moore and came here with his father 54 yrs. ago. Jas. M.
Smith, the oldest white man born in the county, so far as we know, has left
us and gone to Oklahoma. The oldest inhabitant of the county in point of
residence is old Bro. Allen of Allen's Cahpel, who came here in the early
forties. These men were all associates of Bailey Inglish and Jno. P.
Simpson, the two men above all others!
to whom Bonham owes its existence. John P. Simpson's body lies in the
Willow Wild cemetery and is marked by a modest but neat stone and it will
not be long now until his companion and co laborer Bailey Inglish, will have
a suitable monument erected to his memory. The pioneers who are not already
gone are going fast but they are not forgotten.
