• In 1847, in Brazoria County, Hiram G. Runnels reports that his nephew, Dudley Runnels, died intestate "leaving some negros and other personal property of a perishable nature which is liable to waste and destruction." He claims that "it is the wish of the wife of the deceased" that he assume administration on the estate, and he asks that he be issued letters of administration. The petitioner plans to "hire out the negros" and safeguard the property of the estate from being "wasted."
• Enumerated not far from Cecelia in 1850 is William W. Arrington, whose wife Mary Ann Frances Ellington was the widow of Dudley Runnels, whose place in the Runnels family has yet to be discovered.
