Scope and Contents
Photostats and newspaper clippings comprise the Traylor Russell Papers, 1964, documenting the history of Titus County, Texas. Photostats are of three historical narratives (1964) written by Russell concerning the genealogy of the Gilpin, Nelson, Burford, Parham, and related families in Titus County. Additionally, the narrative recounts the story of W. R. M. Slaughter, a soldier in the 6th infantry during the Civil War, and Henry Clay Thouston, a soldier and circus performer who settled in Titus County in 1874. Two newspaper clippings by Russell published in the Titus County Tribune concern Indian Raids on Fort Sherman during the 1830’s.
