Hi! I've archived our discussion about hidden text on Drury-727. Here's my reply to your question "What is the point of putting in hidden text"

A: Mostly "notes to self" type stuff. Take a look at Space: Research Notes about Jane Drury to see what had been hidden on this profile (below the paras from the visible profile... search for "hidden").

Cheers, Liz

P.S. My reply is still on Drury-727, but if you get an e-mail copy of it, the link in the e-mail doesn't take you to the reply, since it's archived. You'd need to scroll down and click the "View Archived Comments" button to "reveal" it.

Hi J

hunt I added you as trusted on Silas Fuqua.

The trouble with Texas sources is they become a dead link. There is a Huntsville, Texas, but the source I have listed is just a source with word huntsville in it. https://huntsvillehistorycollection.org/hhc/browse-person.php?a=person&pe=Silas%20Fuqua

http://www.sonsofdewittcolony.org/gonzalesrangersf-k.htm (this is verbatim) says he died in Caldwell county. Silas Fuqua’s land grant was "on the east bank of the San Marcos River in current CaldwellCo on the Gonzales Co line. According to his land certificate, Silas Fuqua arrived in the DeWitt Colony with a family of 6 on 11 May 1830."

https://huntsvillehistorycollection.org/hhc/browse-person.php?a=person&pe=Silas%20Fuqua also says Caldwell county,

Burial - Caldwell County, Texas Fuqua Cemetery https://huntsvillehistorycollection.org/hhc/browse-person.php?a=person&pe=Silas%20Fuqua

Gonzales and Dewitt are about 80-100 miles East of San Antonio. Caldwell co. is 132 mi from San Antonio TIME 2 hours 15 mins according to the internet

Mary, thanks so much for these very valuable sources. I will do some rewriting and re-sourcing of his bio and Galba's.

I love that he named two of his children after Roman generals.

I was not contesting his death and burial in Texas -- I had just gotten confused between Hunt, TX where I went to Camp Mystic, and Huntsville, AL.

There is some very good info, though not well sourced, on Find A Grave for both of them.
