I see two things here:
1. The article/excerpt itself seems like it was tailor-made for the new
Stories feature in Legacy 9.0. I would enter the entire sketch and use
the Texas history book as the source. You can then share that story with
all the other family members mentioned if you wish.
2. If the article mentions new people (or new information about existing
ones) then I would enter/add the data and use the article as the source
for the data. For example, if the article has a date that you were
missing then it is the source for that new date. If it mentions a new
person then it is the source for all the data you enter from that
article about that person.

As a little diversion to all the questions about Legacy 9, I found a
biographical sketch of my ancestor’s brother in a Texas history book
published in 1893. It contains a trove of information about my
ancestor’s family and that of his parents, presumably from the subject
who was 44 years old at the time. The names of his siblings and aunts
and uncles and all their spouses are included. As a source for these
names, I’m wondering where to best enter them; I usually put census
entries into the birth field, since date and place of birth are always
identified (usually). Since date and place are not included in the
sketch, should the source be added to the person’s name? I usually
don’t input sources into the name field but this seems to make the best
sense. Any thought would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Barton
