  "Quaid Family"
  
  "Tax records for 1846 show that T W (Thomas Walter) Quaid was a  resident of New Salem in Rusk County. ... T W and his wife Emily Moore came from Brownsville, Mississippi, Lafayette County.  Upon arriving in Texas, they had four children with them:  Benjamin Walter, Elihu (Eli Hugh), William Riley and Simpson.  Emily's parents came with them.
  
  "The movie actors, Randy and Dennis Quaid, are descended from Elihu's brother, Benjamin Walter.  The line runs:  Benjamin Walter, John Thomas, William Jesse, and their father William Rudy."
