Jane Jemima Gailey was the first born child of Permelia Jane (Tudor) Gailey and Asa Lomax Gailey. She was born in 1858 in Bell County Texas. She
married Samuel "Doke" Harding and settled in northern Erath County, Texas near the communites of Sims Valley and Exray.
Asa Nelson Gailey was the third and final child of Permelia and Asa Lomax. He was named after his father and the namesake of Asa Lomax's Civil War
Regiment (Nelson's). It is unclear whether Asa Lomax ever saw Asa Nelson as he left for war around the time of his birth.
Asa Nelson married Laura Bigham who was the sister of Mary Bigham that married JW. His family first lived near JW in Eastland County and
later moved to Tom Green County near the town of Christoval. His children were Felix, Asa, Lark, Walter, and Luther Lewis.
