Apparently, after the corn was taken to the mill to be ground,animal poison got into the meal by mistake. After his death in Tennessee, John Alfonso, Patience, and their mother Sarah A. moved to Spanish Fort, TX and settled. Patience married Samuel E. Howard on August 5, 1883. Later Sarah died and still later John Alfonso moved to Oklahoma Territory. Note: William Benjamin was an Alderman for the town of Tullahoma, TN, in1858-59 and also served as Mayor in 1860.
