Filed July 19th, 1847

The Watkins family lived in Desoto Parish  in 1850 Census very near her parents, and in 1852 Martin & Salina sold out to her brother Athanase Rambin and Aaron Gandy, and removed to Sabine County, Texas, removing to Nacogdoches County prior to 1865.

Salina was the daughter of Jean Baptiste Azenor Rambin & wife Marie Angelica Carmelite ("Carmella") Palvados .  Her brothers Francois Alexis ("Alexander") Rambin & Francois Bertrand Rambin had settled in the Cedar Bluff area called "Rambin Town"  in 1846, and her sister Marie Adelaide Rambin Wallace, Briley soon followed, prior to 1860, settling in Briley Town Community, south of Garrison.

Salina was living with her children in 1880 in the Wanders Beat, which is between Briley Town & Cedar Bluff Communities.  She died prior to 1900 and is probably also buried (Unmarked)  at Old Moss Cemetery, Nacogdoches Co, Texas.

Much of the information on this family came from personal interviews with Aunt Mollie (Rambin) Sparks, 1978-81.  Aunt Mollie was wife of Allen Sparks, s/o William R. Sparks & wife #1 Mary A. King, and lived in HH with or next door to,  William R. Sparks & #2 wife, Luvenia Watkins Gardner, until they died.-sgs
