Lavina Busby

I was born around 1825 in Georgia to Nathan and and Ruth Busby. We moved to Union Parish, Louisiana. I married James Ripley We came to Texas when our children were little. He died shortly after our arrival in Bexar County along with all but our son Pleas. I remarried to Rederick Benson Watkins soon after his death. With Ben I had 7 children. I lived near Pleas's and my son John's families until my death in 1904. I am buried in the Nelson-Ripley cemetery plot of the Confederate Cemetery in San Antonio.
