 Jane K. Wilson, was born in 1815, and died in 1850. Maj. Samuel McGaughey and my maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Johnston, nee McGaughey, were brother and sister.

Harvey McGaughey Richey, whose portrait appears above, is physically and mentally all that his fond mother could desire. She is a widow, all children gone but only one, her hope of a future name on earth; that is in the manly form of her noble son. Harvey McG. Richey has always been an obedient boy; his moral and domestic training has been of the best. He was graduated from the public High School of Waco when he was sixteen. Then he attended Washington College, in East Tennessee, one year. Then he entered Baylor University, Waco, Texas, and was graduated from that university with distinction. He then worked in a cotton buying office in Waco for two years. He is now taking a three years' course in law, in the State University in Austin, Texas. He will be graduated from there in 1907. It is hoped and believed by others besides his widowed mother, that Harvey McGaughey Richey will make a moral, capable and honest lawyer. His intellect is good, his ambition is commendable, his opportunities could not have been better.

The three McGaughey brothers, Samuel, James and Washington, left in East Tennessee two other brothers, whose posterity is quite numerous. The McGaugheys in Alabama were good and prosperous farmers. They were of the best citizens. Their descendants went West and are legion.

My grandmother Johnston's maiden name was McGaughey. One of her sisters, Margaret McGaughey, married Eli McCain. John McCain, son of Eli McCain and Margaret McGaughey, married Miss Lou Hunter,
