No. 209 REPORT FROM G. W. GENTRY TO J. P. NEWCOMB Stephenville, Texas, June 30th 1870-
Hon. Jas. P. Newcomb, Austin, Texas. Sir:
I herewith enclose a partial list of the horses & C. stolen and killed in this County since the spring of 1865 by Indians. The statement is only partial- a number of persons in the County not having reported to me, and many more who have lost horses have moved from the County. With more time I could more than tribble the numbers here reported. Edward Cox and Hallis of this County were killed by Indians in Ham- ilton Co. July 1865. They were scalped. Nathan McDow and his son, were killed by Indians in this County, I think, in 1866. They were also scalped. I remember no others killed by Indians in this County since 1865. Very sincy, GEO. W. GENTRY [Enclor~ec/J Stephenville Texas June 30, 1870 Geo. W. Gentry List of Indian depredations
