T. G. Clay (born December 16, 1878 in Dyersburg, Dyer, Tenn.) came to Texas the latter part of the 1890's with his brother, John D.  They came prior to the arrival of their parents, Dr. A. Brown and Mrs. M. A. Clay, which was in 1900 (see Dr. A. Brown Clay).  T. G. taught school in Coleman County and schools in the surrounding counties.  He taught at the Coyt School about 8 or 10 miles from Talpa.  This was in the early 1900's and he rode horseback Friday nights to Talpa.  He married (1) Reavis Hickox, December 23, 1903 in Ballinger (see Thomas Fenton Hickox).  It was in 1903 that he taught in the Mud Creek School, Brown County.  Later, he worked on various ranches, and between times, he did carpenter work.  He helped build the Upton County Courthouse in 1914-1923.  It was a beautiful brick building.

     T. G. married (2) Annie Willis and returned to Miles, and the last few years he lived, he worked in the cemetery at Miles, together with his wife.  He died February 22, 1950, buried beside his two brothers, Wiley and A. B., Jr., and his sister, Ethel, in Miles.

     Maurine, daughter of I. G. and Reavis, worked for the U. S. Corps of Engineers in Sacramento for 34 years starting as stenographer-clerk and as administrative assistant when she retired April 17, 1965.  She met her husband, George O. Presse, in Salt Lake, where she had been sent as chief clerk for the field office there for the "duration and six months" in 1943.  George came to work for the U.S. Corps of Engineers as a survey technician and they married September 1, 1951.  She had been married twice before.  They were transferred back to Sacramento, January 31, 1953.  George Presse retired January 7, 1977.
