Hi Michael,I found the following information on the Killough Massacre in "The History of Cherokee County, TX"
"On Christmas Eve, 1837, seven related families form Talladega Co., Alabama settled seven miles northwest of present Jacksonville.
"The group included the families of Isaac Killough, Sr., and those of his four sons and his two daughters.The sons were Isaac Jr., Allen, Nathaniel, and Samuel.The daughters were Polly, who married Owen Williams, and Jane, the wife of George Wood.Elbert and Barakias Williams, two young, single men, lived with their brother, Owen.Barakias and Elizabeth Killough, the youngest daughter of Isaac Sr., were engaged to be married.The entire group of men, women, and children numbered about 30."
"The group included the families of Isaac Killough, Sr., and those of his four sons and his two daughters.The sons were Isaac Jr., Allen, Nathaniel, and Samuel.The daughters were Polly, who married Owen Williams, and Jane, the wife of George Wood.Elbert and Barakias Williams, two young, single men, lived with their brother, Owen.Barakias and Elizabeth Killough, the youngest daughter of Isaac Sr., were engaged to be married.The entire group of men, women, and children numbered about 30."The best I can tell from the article, eighteen people were either killed or captured.The survivors were:Nathaniel Killough, his wife and baby daughter; Owen & Polly Williams, their daughter Elizabeth and three other children; Elbert Williams; and Urcey(Isaac Killough, Sr's wife), Jane(Isaac, Jr's wife), Narcissus(Samuel's wife), with her one-year-old baby, Billy were the last of the refugees to reach safety.
I hope this helps.
