Notes:

In about 1849 Levi moved his family into the house of Ross Byers in Caldwell County, Texas. In autumn of 1850 Levi became suspicious of the relationship between his wife, Matilda Burleson, and Ross Byers. They obtained a divorce in the summer of 1851. A few days later, Matilda married Ross. About ten days after this wedding, Levi returned home from Capt. Conner’s Ranging Company. He then called upon and had dinner with the newlywed couple. He left that evening but remained in the neighborhood several days, occasionally calling upon the couple. On the morning of the 28th of May, he rode to the Byers residence and conversed for about fifteen minutes. He then, apparantly without any provocation or intimation, drew a holstered pistol and shot Ross through the heart. Levi and Matilda remarried in 1855.
