The Mary Arthula who was the second wife of Malcolm (Malcomb, according
to Cherokee Cty records) was actually Mary Arthula Croft, daughter of
John
Washington Croft and Esther Oliver. She can be found in 1850 census,
Cherokee County, Texas under Mary A. Croft, age about 20, born Tennessee
in the household of J. W. (looks like T. W. in images) Croft, born 1801
Virginia. Her marriage to Malcomb Brigman is of record in the early
Marriage Records of Cherokee County, TX. She remarried a Meadows from
Cherokee County after Malcomb died. He then died. Aunt Arthula died a
widow in Maypearl under the name Arthula Brigman in 1818, I think.
There was a death certificate. Hope this is helpful. John W. Croft.

Cemetery, Ellis County, TX
Occupation, housewife. Birthplace--Tenn
Father, Jno Croft, born Tenn(?) [actually VA]
Maiden name of mother, don't know
Birthplace of mother, Tenn (?) [perhaps; her name was Esther Oliver]
Informant--J. B. Brigman, Maypearl, Texas
Hope this is helpful. Thanks for offer of info exchange. Do you know
anything about Arthula? She was my great-grandfather's sister; my
father knew her, called her Aunt Arthula or Aunt Thulie, and visited
with her in Maypearl about 1905. I am sure "Malcolm" is correct, but
marriage records of Cherokee County call him Malcomb.

First, it is the death certificate that states that Mary Arthula was
born in 1828. The 1850 census lists her as age 20. The Ellis County TX
1910 census shows her in the household of John M. Brigman, as Arthula,
"M" [for mother], age 79, birthplace Tenn. [By the way, John had a
bunch of kids living with him and wife, Mary. A., in 1910.]

Valerie, You got me; you are right. 1850 Census says age 20; 1910
Census says age 79; death certificate shows no date of birth, but that
she died on November 23, 1918 at age 90.
