Find-a-Grave: "James was one of the earliest settlers of Gasconade County, Missouri and was soon appointed sheriff. In 1815 he held the rank of Captain in Col. William Russell's Company of Mounted Militia in the Missouri Territory. In 1822 he was elected to the Second Missouri Assembly. In 1825 he brought his family to Texas and settled near San Felipe, but died soon after his arrival."

In 1850, Mary (age 67) lived in Fort Bend, Texas, with daughter-in-law Clarinda Pevehouse Kegans (age 27, wife of John Ross), and grandchildren: James B Kegans [Kegins] (age 3), John F.

Also living in the household were Clarinda's orphaned brothers: William Austin Pevehouse [Peaveyhouse] (age 14) and Francis Travis Pevehouse [Peaveyhouse] (age 12).

John Ross Kegans [Kigen] is also enumerated as living in Fort Bend in 1850, but he's listed on a separate U.S. Census Slave Schedule. He owned a woman (age 25) and three children, a black boy (age 6), a black girl (age 5), and an infant mixed-race boy.
