Jerry Coffee,
Melissa Kitching, not Kitchens, m-Alfred Johnson of Johnson's Spy Company. Her sister, Malinda Kitching m-Sam Johnson who was the 2nd Lt. in Bourland's Ranging Company in the 1841 Battle of Village Creek near Arlington, Texas. Mike Thompson of Red Oak TX and I think Alfred had to have been with his brother. That may account for the one illegible name in the listing.
One of my readers sent me an article that the Kitching family submitted to the DENISON HERALD, Sunday, March 14, 1976, page 8B. I will send you this article via e-mail since I don't know how to post on this site.
