Please help!I am trying find cousins to help me identify the murderer of Martha Susan WEAVER GRAVES LOGAN ?????? b.ca.1856-d.ca.1883 near Gilmer, TX.
Her third husband, a wealthy farmer near Gilmer, who had a metal late in his head killed her, some kids, a negro boy and himself.
What was his name and when and where did this event occur?
If you have heard of this please continue reading and be sure to get in touch with me.

I’m interested in Martha Susan WEAVER b.ca.1856. The story I have from my mother-in-law in the 1970’s goes like this.
Martha m1.ca.1872 Mr. GRAVES and had Mary ca.1873 and Joseph T. b.ca.1875 (he m. Sally CAGLE)
--- - - - Mr. Graves died about 1875-1877
Martha m2.1877 James R. LOGAN and had Ola L. 1879-1912 (she m. William L. TERRY) and Laura b.ca.1880
--- - - - James R. Logan died ca.1880
Martha m3.ca.1880 wealthy farmer with metal plate in his head.
--- - - - Wealthy famer kills wife, some kids, 1 negro boy, and himself in 1880’s near Gilmer, Upshur Co., TX.
Martha, above,was married second to James R. LOGAN 1846-1880.
James comes from this LOGAN family:
