Introduction

Taken from findagrave: “George, called “Walsh” came with his brother, Martin C. Epps (Eppes) to Ft. McKavett, Texas. Their names are near the top of page 10 of the 1870 census for Ft. McKavett, Texas. They came to Ft. McKavett to help their brother, William Epps, who was placed in jail as he worked for “Humphy” Jackson, that had shot a Negro soldier from Ft. McKavett, who had sent a love note to his daughter. Around this time or just prior to this, exact date not found, their brother James T. Epps was killed and buried on the creek that bears his name in Sutton County. After James T. Epps’ (Eppes) service in the army on the Confederate side of the Civil War, he became a deputy sheriff for some county, likely Menard County. (Deputy Sheriff’s names are not recorded at the Archives at Austin, Texas, nor local county records.) From Ft. McKavett, George “Wash” Epps went to the Nueces Canyon Country, as this was considered an ideal place for fugitives from the law to hide out – thinking that he might be able to find the murderer of his brother, James T. Eppes. George “Wash” was too young to enter the Texas Rangers. Here in Nueces County, Wash Epps met and married Winnie Sanchez, the daughter of Mr. Sanchez (really his name was Little) and his wife Jerusia Louzoria. Winnie died in July 1904 at Uvalde, Texas. George Epps died as a result of plunging a knife into his leg while cleaning and butchering a beef. He died on his way to Ft. Clark, Texas, the nearest doctor. The exact place of where he is buried is not known today.” Taken from findagrave: “Fannie and George Eppes, Jr. did not like to stay at home after their mother, Winnie, married William R. Webb, as he drank and mistreated them. Little George Eppes was required to do a man’s work. Little George Eppes became ill and died at the house of Granny’s daughter, “Aunt Lu”, who had carried him in her arms to her house. The location of his grave is unknown today. Fannie Eppes stayed a lot with Granny.”
