General Notes: THE STORY OF MY LIFE:
BONNIE EVA STEWARD CORDER

I was borned in a rent house on my Grandfather Eppler's farm near Chive, Texas to Ray Elvis and Lillie Pearl Steward, on Aug. 13 1915. The attending Dr. was Dr. C. E. Chandler M.D. I weighed 9 lbs I was the lightest baby of the four of we children, mother said I was borned with my left foot crooked my toes lay back on my chin. she was very upset about my foot so she took me to a good Dr he told her to pull my foot back and do this ever day often. Mother said when I began to walk my foot straightened out, but left me with a very weak ankle, she said I had many a hard fall as a baby, and have had all my life because the ankle would turn down I went. Mother used to put me to bed for my nap she would take Noma Lee my oldest sister who was 19 months old and walk up to grandmas house for awhile, she done this many times, but one day she took me along. she had hardly gotten to grandmothers, they began to smell smoke she looked out and our house was burning to the ground. we lost everything we owned in that fire, it scawered my mother so badly she became hysterical. if she had of left me that time I would have burned to death.
My first memory of my childhood, was 1917 we moved to Ranger, Texas Daddy was working on huge tanks this was during the Ranger, oil boom. it was impossible to find a house, so daddy bought lumber and built walls about 6' tall and streached a tent over the top, I can remeber he built bunks around the inside of our tent to put mattresses on, the floor of the tent was dirt the tent was very compact he built shelves for mother to store grocerys I remeber we had trunks for clothing, also room inside for our dining table, But mother cooked all our meals out side on a rock furnace. I was only three years old, but how well I remeber walking along and pretendting with my eyes closed, I walked right into that hot bed of Coles with bare feet. I screamed and screamed, my feet were cooked. it scawerd my Mother nearly to death our neighbors came running I do not remeber if mother took me to a Dr or not. I do remeber my feet bandaged for some time, and one the nicest men I just loved told me if I would not cry any more he would go buy me a pretty hair ribbon, he did it was a wide red & white ribbon I kept it for serval years. Then another memory I have there at Ranger, we had a real nice wagon and a team of mules or horses I can not remeber which daddy had unhitched them from the wagon and just slipped their harness back and laid them on the single tree. I climbed up on the spring board which is the seat, I was springing up and down and pitched head first hit the harness with my face & mouth and broke a tooth out. Then in 1918 the first epidemic hit. hundreds of people died, we all came down with the flu. My Grandfather Eppler Came from Hamilton in a coverd wagon with beds and covers and took us all back to Hamilton. so that ended our stay in Ranger but in the mean time daddy had made a nice sum of money.
Then we moved to Walnut Springs but daddy bought us a nice home, and he went to work for the railroad. We had many cousins living there, and daddys sister aunt Dallie Camble. she was the black sheep of the Steward children, my mother had no use what so ever for her. she had three girls almost the same age as we three girls. Aunt Dallie would go out at night and leave them alone her husband Uncle A.J. Camble worshoped his children he would come home from work many times find them alone, he would bring them to our house for mother to keep. Elnore the one my age loved my mother dearly, she used to cry because she wanted mother to be her mother she was a sweet child but the other two were brats. my poor mother had a time with them. the oldest girl Juanita was Noma's age she got us in more trouble, one day she got into daddys tools and lost his hammer she told daddy Noma and I did it, he whipped us until our legs were bleeding, thats my first memory of seeing my mother loose her temper she tore into him like a tiger and told him the truth about the hammer. I remember him trying to make up with us But I did not want to have anything to do with him, because he whipped me for something I did not do. my 4 year old mind thought he was the meanist daddy ever. From then on my mother refused to keep my cousins. Only Elnore she would keep her because she was so crazy over mother. These three girls are dead now, Elnore and the youngest girl named Elvereta, whom we all called her honey, died as young girls with blood posin. the eldest Juanita, was run over by a train. Aunt Dallie ran off with another man but before this they had one son named A.J. Jr. the last I heard of him he was a big shot in military service. before we moved away from Walnut Springs I was playing horsey, we had a matress drapperd across a wood fence to (?). I fell off and broke my right arm. I was a pro accident child it seemed. while we were living there railroad shops burnt, daddy quit the railroad sold our home, bought us a brand new modle T ford. I can remeber how proud we were of that car I thought it was just beautiful.
Our next new home was a two room house on a farm near Glen Rose. Noma started to school there she had to walk at least two miles I remeber mother would walk half the way with her of corse Alda Pearl and I would tag along. My out standing memory of this place was a scawre daddy gave us. Mother made us little Bonnets the sun would turn us to negeros. One afternoon Noma and I went out in the pasture we had a play house under a huge Live Oak tree one limb of the tree was low and had a bend in it that I would pretend was my horse. I was sitting on my horse Noma was making mud pies she was always the little lady type child. I heard a noise in a bunch of Bushes I looked there stood the blackest man you erver saw. I did not say a word I Jumped off my tree horse began to run as fast as my legs would move Mother was sitting on the front porch I jumped in her lap both arms around her neck. soon Noma saw the negero he said to her hea kid come here, she let out a scream to the house she came ever jump she screamed Mama. Mother wound up with both of us in her lap holding on her neck for dear life. soon we saw that negro Coming to the house laughing so hard he could hardly walk. we soon recognized our daddy, he had blacked his face with sut he looked aful. Needless to say Mother Never had any more trouble with us wearing our Bonnetts. We did not live at this place long that was the beganing of our farm life and crop failures. it was move, move, from one farm to another, from there we moved to a farm near Hamilton. I remeber the guy that owned this farm had herds and herd's of wild horses and mules. this is where I started to school A one room school house that was called Rocky Hill, we had to walk at least 3 miles this school was in the most Insolated places I ever saw. I remeber the Blue back speller. the first grad pimmer about Jack and Jane and spot the dog. I loved school then and made real good grades I had a card of Gold stars my teacher gave me how thrilled I was. during my school year at Rocky Hill, Daddy took a Job to work for a full blood German this German Hauled things on long trips for people, of Corse we had to move agan but we still went to the same school. but before I Continue this let me tell you about our pet goat daddy got him for us when he was a baby we played with him like a puppy as he grew he became a problem. Mother always raised baby chicks, she would set an old hen to hatch them we always had nice Hen houses for the mother hen and chicks, old Billie would get up on top of the hen house as it was getting late and the mother hen wanted to go in and put her babies to bed he would Butt her out the door. Mother would take after him with a stick. but Why we gave the reason we had to give Billie up, we had a huge front portch with a full size bed on it. One day Mother done our family wash on the rub board and boiled her sheets in a big black wash pot with lots lye soap. they came out snow white, she had Just finished Making up the bed on the front portch with a snowy white sheet on top. What did that Crazy goat do, but get up in the middle of her bed and wet. he soaked it. she was so furis she said Kids, No crying or begging now, that goat has to go and he did. I can not remeber what daddy done with him.
Now back to our move to the German's he could barley speak english, and his wife Could not speak any hardly. The day Mother and Daddy moved they sent us on to school and we took alda pearl she was about 5 years old. Mother made arraghments with the teacher for her to tell another bunch Children that lived Close by to show us the way to our new home, these Kids walked part of the way with us and showed us a trail to take we walked and walked soon it began to get late the sun was going down we Knew we were lost. it was getting dark. We had Come to the Leaon River there all around us were long horn white face Cattle, the Cattle did not harm us, but we were scawered to death of them, some how my foot slipped I went tumblening down the river bank. I went through a patch of thorns and broke one off in my Knee, I had tore a big hole in my black stockings I crawled back up the river bank crying from pain in my Knee and fear. Soon we heard some one screaming our Names it was Mother she and daddy had started out to find us they did as it was getting dark. Our parents were almost at their Minds with fear it was Ranch and Jungle Country. Mother got us home fed, bathed, and put us to bed. Our new house was made of rock the inside walls were rock it was a warm house. but my mother hated it. When daddy would leave on a long haul for the old german, his wife wanted us to stay with her we spent only one night at her house she put we three girls in one bed and coverd us with a feather mattress, we could not stand it mother finally made her understand to get us some quilts. she just grunted in disgust, she had 2 children that were so uncivilized they would just hang on their mothers' skirtsand hide their faces. we did not stay long at that place, daddy & the German could not get along. but we did stay long enough for me to be bit by a tarantula Spring had passed and we had our first real warm day Mother told me I could take my shoes and socks off and go bare foot. I was tickled & happy to take my shoes off. so I went outside. I noticed a big hole in the ground and I put my foot over the hole. Suddenly my toes began to stinglike fire I realized it was a taratula hole and he bit me. I run to the house and told mother she soaked my foot in coal oil but my toes like to have rotted off I had a very bad foot for weeks.
Then we moved in to Hamilton there R.L. was borned. we lived close to my Grandpa and Grandma Eppler. My mother almost died the night my brother was borned and my grandmother would not be with my poor mother until after he was borned. I can remember how this hurt mt mother. I never loved that old lady she was one of the most self centerd selfish person I ever knew she made my Grandpa's life miserable him I adored he was a big tall man very kind and gentel to us children. he worshipped my mother. she never wanted for a thing in her childhood. he bought her beautiful jewelry at 13 he bought her her first fiddle she slipped out her brothers fiddle one day and played a old time song Im sure you children have never heard (Old Tommy dont go) Anyway she run to the barn as fast as she could go and told him she played the fiddle he droped everything and went back to the house with her her she picked up the fiddle and played the tune for him. he went back to the barn and unhitched the team from the plow, hitched them to the hack went straight to town bought her a fiddle that began her music career. My Grandma threw a fit but he paid her no mind, then he bought mother a piano she started playing it and was soon playing for the church. I have the most beautiful memories of her all during my lige as a child with her music. we children went to bed to music and awoke in the morning to music. Daddy played the gutar Banjo and fiddle. he would play in the morning while mother cooked braekfast. Mother also picked the gutar and sang she had the most beautiful voice. her youngest sister Aunt Lee also played the gutar and piano she and mother picked and sang so beautiful together, they looked like twins only mother was taller she was 5 ft. 9 in. after she grew up. she was beautiful she had jet black hair, green eyes and dark olive skin, as a young girl she was calkled the bell of the county. Grandpa saw that she had the most beautiful clothes and as I said before jewelery. but she was never a snob. people loved her she had a quit but still friendly nature always smiling with one deep dimple in her cheek.
I worposhed her. Noma was the pet of both my grandmothers. she was petted so by most my daddys sistersand his mother. I soon began to notice this at times I almost hated her I'm ashamed of it now, but I was a child left out of so many things they always told her how pretty she was. I even thought mother favard her. but I know now she didn't. I thought I was so ugly I had an awful complex for years. I was taller and bigger. Was a tomboy I made up my mind if I wasn't pretty I would do something to make them notice me. I'm sure I got several spankings for it to. Years later I know how mother resented them. because the reason Grandma Steward was partial to noma was the fact she looked so mucjh like my daddy I remember how pretty she was she had big brown eyes black curls dark skin, I was the homely one cotton stringy white hair and crooked teeth, but I did have pretty white skin as long as I wore my Bonnett. Grand ma Steward wasn't really cruil to me she never spanked me or caused me to be spanked like Grandma Eppler. I was a small child when Grandma Steward died. Mother would not let us children go to the farm when she was so sick. we stayed with my Aunt Tennie Kinchlough she and her husband uncle Press and their only child Bessie lived on Grandaddy's place in one of his rent houses. My Aunt Tennie was on of the dearest Aunts I had I loved her so, she was so kind and gentle to me of all my Aunts on mothers side of the family and daddy's side I loved her most. I have the sweetest memories of her and her daughter Bessie she was a wonderful child to be the only one. I will have to tell you about the Steward farm on top of a huge mountain near Star Texas, in Hamilton County. Grandaddy owned the mountain many acres of rich farm land. daddy could barely make it up that mountain road in our modle T sometimes we would get nearly to the top and start rolling backwards to the bottom daddy would make another try finally we would make it. after you got on top it was flat land with beautiful live oak treeshuge rocks and lots of hackberry trees. Red Hall trees, Black Hall trees, and shoemake. I have roomed that mouintain as a child hunting black halls and red halls to eat they were delicious. I was usually with Aunt my Aunt Tennie or my boy cousins Levi & A.D. & Jeff and Elic Steward, Bessie was the only one of my girl cousins I cared for. I had a ball with my boy cousins they were such nice boys I remember. I could skin up a tree with the best of them, or throw a rock as far as a ball. I tagged their every their every step nearly, they seemed to enjoy having me. I would go to the house my pretty little dress tore to pieces my poor mother she didn't know what to do with me she never let Noma and I wear boy clothes, of course Noma didn't want to she was the pretty little lady as grandma told her. Finally in desperation my aunt talked mother into letting me wear boy clothes My aunt gave me 3 pair little unionalls My boy cousins had out grown. that was one the greatest thrills of my childhood those unionalls. I remember telling mother now I can skin a tree and the boys can't see my bloomers. I was very modest about them seeing up my dress as I would climb the trees, that was my beganing of wearing pants mother decided it was much more decent for me than a dress. I was younger than my cousins they really looked after me. Mother knew this. How I loved that mountain and my Grand daddy Steward that's what I always called him. he loved me to. I'm sure he noticed the differance being made between Noma and I, also my Aunt Tennie noticed it. Grand daddy never called me by my name that I can remember he called me Chubby. many a late afternoon he would sit me on his lap and hum old tunes or tell me stories I adored him. I know he looked very much Indian. I can not remeber if it was his mother or grand mother that was full blood Indian. My grandma Steward was blonde & blue eyes. but all her children took after Grand daddy all black hair and black eyes. I thought he was very handsome he wore a wide brim black hat with a beaded band around it. he was on of the most honest people you ever knew. when he gave his word it was law. before he boght the mountain they owned a home and lots land at May Tex. where I spent my later years growing up. When my brother was a baby we moved from hamilton to this farm that Grand daddy owned at May. It was very interesting to hear the old settlers there tell about him. May used to have a Bank. Grand daddy had pu all his money in this Bank, somehow he had gotten wind of the May Bank going broke. he sadded his horse rode into May and went to the Bank and asked to withdraw all his money. the banker refused him. Grand daddy dident say a word Just walked out and climebed upon his horse, rode home got his 45 gun, went back to May walked into the bank & stuck the 45 in the Bankers face. he said now I want all my money. he got every nickle. sure enough a few days later the bank went broke., the same old building is still standing at May Tex. today. The law never bothered Granddaddy so they tell. I'm telling you all this to give you some idea of my hero worship of him.
I also loved my Grandpa Eppler. he always thought there was money buried on his place in Hamilton. a fortune teller told Grandma once there was no doubt there wasen't. Grandpa Eppler was a cabinet maker by trade. after he sold his farm at Chives he bought a nice house and serval acres of land at the edge of Hamilton. he built the first ice box Hamilton had he made it out cedar wood. I remeber how beautiful it was. he began to get orders for them from the people of Hamiltn. no telling how many he built. I loved to go to their home in spite of my Grandma. She really never loved us as I do my grandchildren. Many a time I would ask her for a dry biscuit which she made, they would almost melt in your mouth she was a wonderful cook. but not often would she let me have a biscuit. I didn't dare get one without asking. I remeber she kept them in a safe in the dining room. I think Grandpa built the safe I remeber it had two tin doors that come together and closed in the middle the tin had desighn holes in it. I also remeber a coffee grinder on the wall each morning they would grind the coffee beans to make coffee. that was one the greatest smells I can remeber. how I longed to drink some that coffee but mother did not permit us to drink coffee as children. I also remeber grandmas spotless clean kitchen also her house. she was a fanatic about house keeping. also her cooking.
Grandpa had to remove his shoes before she would let him come into the house. I know she is dead and gone, but I must be truthful I had no love for her evan not later on in my story. she was blind for years. she never went to school. my great grandfather Walker spoiled her so it was awful. he curder her eyes so the story goes. I think she was in her teens when he cured her. he was a doctor. grandma was a tiny person she was about 5 ft. tall wore a size 3 1/2 shoe. she always dressed nice and always spotless clean in appearance she had pretty blue eyes black wavy hair. but no personality whatsoever. I never sassed her. mother taught us to respect our elders. but believe me I had so nasty thoughts os her. My Mother dearly loved a man he was well to do mother said, was very well thought of by all. But Grandma decided my mother could not marry him, she broke them up. she had met my daddy who was running with mothers youngest brother Uncle Edd Eppler. Grandma made up her mind that mother was to marry him. she did finally but never ceased loving the other man. she told us that three weeks before she died, but she was good to my daddy all the years they were married. worked like a slave. then Grandma turned on my daddy. she hated him and made his life miserable all the time she was around him.
Back to my Grandpa Eppler he was a big man over 6 ft. weighed over 200 lbs I remeber he had a handle bar mustache grey close cropped hair which is called a crew cut now. he was always working in the yard and garden. they had the most beautiful yard I had ever seen. ever color of flowers all kinds roses & shrubs, he loved flowers and working in the earth. after he broke the truck patch, about 2 acres, he planted it and worked it on his knees. he raised and sold most ever kind of vegetable you could imagine. I would follow him watch him dig on his knees. once we were digging under a cedar bush in his yard we struck something. grandpa began to pull out Indian relics arrow heads finally a skull. that scared me from digging any more. Late after noon after supper we all gathered on the huge front portch if it was summer time. there was a long upholsterd couch that rocked also a big portch swing. grandpa would say to mother get your fiddle and play for pa awhile I'm tired and your music rest me. she would sit in the portch swing and play for hours we children on his knee. he would sit there with his eyes closed and just listen to her. during winter time we would gather around the piano. mother would teach Noma and I to sing sacred songs. later Alda Pearl joined us. at all the singing we went to all 3 girls had to sing a quaret. Mother always played for us. Another thing I remeber about grandpa Eppler he gave us a nickle ever afternoon during our visits their a small store across the street in the park we would go buy stick candy. Grandma never knew of this she would have thrown a fit she was so tight.
In 1923 we moved to May Tex. on the farm that granddaddy use to own. when daddy was a young boy. it was a nice place, but Noma and I had to walk four miles to school. another one room school house called Rockey. we missed a lot of school while going there during the winter it was bitter cold mother would not let us go, but we made our grades ok.
Daddy tried his luck at farming agan we did not make a very good crop, but raised lots of food to can for the winter mother was just great when it came to canning and making peach presevers. by that time Noma and I were old enough to be alot of help to her. we had our cow for milk & Butter. mother churnned twice a week she use the big crock churn with the dash. we kids would sit and wait with patience for her to finish then we would get our cups and drink fresh buttermilk.
Mother was famous for her tea cakes and light bread. and fruit pies she was happiest when she was busy she had more patience with us children we had fun with her as we grew older she was a kid with us our friends love to come to our house. there some sort entertainment going on in the comminity where we lived all time. At night daddy would hitch the team to the wagon we would all pill in off we would go to a neighbors to a 42 party or a musical we kids would play hide and seek or wolf over the river we had lots fun with the neighbor kids. I remeber Brother took sick while we were living there. he almost died Mother had a hard time raising him he was a sickly child. it's a good thing he did not take spoiling are we would of ruinrd him we would play with him for hours
Our next move was to Brownwood, move, move, move, I hated it. I then went to school at Lamar it was strange for me as it was a large school a big red brick. We didn't live there long daddy couldn't find steady work, so we move back on a farm between May and Rising Star. I was 14 then the best I can remember. Mother played music for country dances she made quite a lot of money playing, that helped us to survive the hard times that hit us then. Another crop failure, that year we picked cotton all over the country we gave our money to Daddy to buy food. I was the boy of the family I hauled wood, cut all the wood. Done work far for beyond my strength, Noma kept most the House, mother's health had begun to fail she spent lots of time in bed. Still as badly as she felt she would gather us all around the bed and read the Bible to us for hours. I don't know what happened to my daddy he just quit providing for his family, all the outside and hard work fell on my shoulders, the hard work I hated most was picking cotton I swore someday if I ever married I would never pick another bale, my fingers would crack and bleed from the burrs they hurt so badly I could not help but cry. I would pull a sack until I got it nearly full of cotton then throw it across own shoulders it sometimes would weigh 80 to 90 lbs. at the scales. I remember my back hurting so badly from stooping in pulling that heavy sack. I was always so happy when cotton picking season was over, still there were happy times mother saw that.
Noma and I learned to dance when we were small children Alda Pearl danced like a dream mother played in theaters over the country Alda Pearl done a dance act, she did the toe dance and Charleston she became a professional dancer, she had the cutest pink costum of pink satin real short full standout skirt I think the skirt was made of net. She was a doll dancing the theaters were filled with people they would clap and holler more after her act. Also the same would happen after mother performed she was never shy of crowds. Finally a very rich man from Dallas heard of her, he came from Dallas to one of our big musicals to hear mother play. She made such an impression on him and he invited her to Dallas to be a guest in his home. She went daddy went with her mother said he lived in the most beautiful home she had ever saw it was a mansion. She stayed there four days and played for his guests. There were a long write up in the Dallas Morning News about her and her natural music background. This rich man's name was Dr. Cranfill. He was an author also a poet. I remember him well how nice he was. He had large pictures made of mother with her fiddle. I was so proud of her I was beside myself. This doctor Canfill kept in touch with us he sent each of us children a book he had written, and mother a book of poems. I cannot remember to my sorrow what became of my book. It was a children's book, I was so proud of mine, someday I'm going to the library and look for his books.
I was 14 when mother let me have my first date this old boy was harmless and Mother knew it he was ugly as sin red bushy hair red face, I had known him since my school days at Rockey his name was Red Stewart, he had a nice Ford car his family were sort of well-to-do Anyway mother says I could go to the movie with him at Rising Star, I don't even remember the name of the movie I was never so bored in my life. He gripped all the way back home about what it cost him for us to see the show. I was furious at him soon as he stopped at our gate I jumped out of the car told him good night and goodbye. I never dated him again. At 14 I still love to play with boys. One of our neighbors and our closest and dearest friends was Uncle Billy Chambers and his wife Aunt Mary. Uncle Billie was a brilliant man he taught my daddy in his school later he was state representative for years of Brown County, he would ask us to their home once or twice a week for a music session he also played the fiddle he loved my mother's music, while they were playing I would play with his three sons two were older than I One his name was Douglas he teased me awful always daring me they had a creek at the back of their house the boys had taken a long strip of drilling cable and tied one end on a limb at the highest limb of a huge Live Oak tree and slanted the other end across the creek and tied it to the ground we called them trolleys Doug dared me to go down that thing late one evening, I climbed the tree to the top of the trolley,caught ahold of the pipe they had put on the cable I went flying across that creek hit on the other side feet first if I had fallen off that thing it would've killed me. Even some their boy friends had refuse to go down that thing it like to have scared Wallace the oldest boy to death my poor mother almost died when she found out.
I can think of so many things that happened the next three years of my life. Noma and I taught the kids how to dance. They usually met at our house before long we were having two country dances a week. A lot of the older folks became interested. It became a big thing. Dancing and our horse Dutch were the loves of my life then. I rode horseback everywhere. Dutch had one time been a race horse he was the best saddle pony in the country. I loved him and he knew it too. I was the only one that could go to the pasture and bridle him. I could catch him anytime. To show you how smart he was, one afternoon I saddled him and rode to my girlfriend's house. It was about 3 mi. to her house. I had to go through wilderness to get there the trees overlapped the little country road. Anyway time flew by. I was supposed to be back home before dark in time for the wood chopping. It was getting very late the sun was almost down when I started for home. There were about a mile and a half of real straight lane so I gave Dutch his head. Boy could he run. I made that mile and a half in notime. There was a large plank gate I had to go through. I noticed how easy Dutch stopped at that gate. As I started to get off saddle and all came off with me. That horse knew the belly gert was loose. He was protecting me. I put the saddle back on him tighten the gert and we got home before dark. My horse was called a Northern buckskin. He was fawn colored, just beautiful.
We had singing every Wednesday at Wolf Church. Noma and I would saddle up the horses and never miss a Wednesday night. Our community had some of the most talented people I ever knew. We sang the old sacred songs. A quartet that sang there even to this day I have never heard anyone that could beat them. They all read music. Some were music teachers. The girl that sang with the group her name was very Variese Nichols. She had the most beautiful alto voice I have ever heard. She later became a good friend of mine and still is until this day. Although I see her once every year or two at our Decoration Day, every first Sunday in May at Wolf Valley. Our beautiful cemetery where Mother and Daddy also Papa and Mama Corder and Asa, John's oldest brother and Noma's baby and my little sister Alda Pearl is buried. People from miles away come. We have church services in the morning then singing then we spread food on long tables, have a feast. You never saw the like of the wonderful food of all kinds. Then after dinner many gather back in the church house for more singing and speeches. Some just stay outside and visit. This has been a tradition at this community for over 50 years. Before Uncle Billie Chambers became too feeble to go, he was our main speaker and leader. This one year I remember he asked the audience for a moment of silence for my mother. Tears came to my eyes. I was

J.E. Corder, one of the older settlers of this section died at his farm
five miles east of the city Sunday night, at the age of 77 years. He had been
an unusually strong and able bodied man up to the age of 72, but at that
time he contracted heart trouble and had not been a sound man since. He left two
sons A.J. and J.A. Corder at Merkel, this county, and perhaps other children
of whom we have no knowledge. His body was laid to rest Monday afternoon at 5
o'clock. we tender sympathy to the bereaved family.
6. Jacob and Assenieth lived their first several years near Whiteoak. In about 1878 they moved to a community just north of Rome, Georgia in Floyd Co. and lived near Floyd Springs and Armuchee with the children attending school at Crystal Springs part of the time. In the winter of 1885-1886 the family moved to Texas and located about 5 miles east of McKinney in Collin Co. where one crop was made then they moved to Arkansas and farmed land on the White River about 3 miles east of Newport. This was not good for them since they were plagued with Malaria. But they remained while the family increased by two, but also decreased by the death of 2 baby girls. The family moved back to Texas in December of 1889 and located a few miles west of McKinney, where they lived until most of the children were married or went away to make homes for themselves. This history according to Andy McClurkin Corder in 1954.

4. An affidavite:
The State of Texas:
County of Brown - Before me, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared Dennis Steward and Ray Steward, known to me to be worthy and credible citizens, who after being by me duly sworn, upon oath each does depose and state:
"Affiants are the sons of A. Steward and wife Janie Steward who lived for many years in Hamilton County, Texas, and to whom was patented a certain land out of the Texas and St. Louis survey no. 2, in Hamilton County, Texas being 229 1/2 acres and 80 1/2 acres of said survey. The said Janie Steward died intestate in Hamilton County about the year 1920, and said A. Steward died intestate in Gray County, Texas during the year 1945. No administration was had on the estate of either of them and none was necessary because they owed no debts except incidental burial expenses which were promptly paid.
The said A. Steward and wife Janie Steward were married only the one time and the only children ever born were the following: Monroe Steward, Ralph Steward, Ray Steward, Dennis Steward, Dollie Vaughn, wife of Claude Vaughn, Willie Callahan, wife of Cecil Callahan, Dovie Williamson, wife of Bill Williamson, Tennie Kenchloe, wife of P.O. Kenchloe, and Homer Steward, and one other child who died in early infancy.
The said Dovie Williamson died intestate about the year 1932, and her husband preceded her in death, and there was born to them the following named children: Aaron Williamson, Clelon Williamson, and Wanda Waters, wife of Tom L. Waters; The said Tennie Kenchloe died intestate about the year 1942 and left surviving her her husband and there was born to her only one child Bessie Kenchloe who married Marshall Childre. The said Homer Steward died intestate about the year 1933 and left surviving him his wife Thelma but no children were ever born to him.
None of the above named deceased persons ever adopted any child or children.
The above mentioned 229 1/2 acres of land was patented tp A. Steward on March 13, 1920, and is recorded in Vol. 2 at page 75 of the patent records of Hamilton County, Texas and the 80 1/2 acres of land was patented to A. Steward on March 3, 1920 and recorded in Vol. 2 at page 74 of the patent records of the said county.
From the date of the patents of said land to A. Steward, same was occupied by A. Steward and his family continuously until the year 1935 at which time due to his advanced age, said A. Steward left said land to live among his children. The said A. Steward continued to rent said land and same was occupied by tennants until his death about the year 1942, and since his death the above named heirs have had the peaceable, continuous, open and adverse possession of said land and occupied the same continusously until the present time. No person within the knowledge of affiants has ever asserted any claim to sid land, and the claim of the said A. Steward and wife during their life time and of their children and heirs since their death has been undisputed.

13. STEWARD FAMILY
WILLIAM STEWARD ARRIVED
IN CRAWFORD COUNTY YEAR
ARKANSAS BECAM A STATE
By Mrs. Dell Miller
and
Mrs. Cuenette Black

William Steward, son of one of two brothers, John or Henry Steward, who came to the United States from Scotland prior to the Revolution, was born in the state of Connecticut, July 4, 1786. When a small boy, his parents moved to Oswego, N.Y. where he grew to manhood. In 1812, when war between Great Britain and America was declared, he volunteered in the American service and served through that war under General Scott. He was wounded at the battle of Chipawa and was in Fort Erie when it was blown up.
After returning from the war, he was married in 1817 to Phoebe Dean, who bore him three sons: Harvey, Alexander and Darwin. In 1824, his wife died. In 1826, he removed to Fountain County, Indiana, and located near Terre Haute. In 1832, he married Malissa Dickerson, who bore him nine children: Noah, son who died in infancy, Phoebe, John, Samuel, William, Mary, Henry and Fannie. Phoebe married a Couch and Mary, a Orme.
In early fall of 1836, William Steward moved with oxteams from Terre Haute, Indiana, to Van Buren, Arkansas. During the winter of 1836, he bought from the government the land upon which Lancaster is now situated. He moved to this land in the spring of 1837 and built a dwelling house for his family. He also cleared the land for a farm and then built the first gristmill and saw mill in Crawford County, which he operated by waterpower. One of the old, mill wheels of stone is now in the University of Arkansas museum at Fayetteville.
His second wife, Melissa B. Steward, died February 29, 1872.
William Steward was a friend of Albert Pike, and helped organize the Masonic lodge in Van Buren. William Steward and Parley Parker Pratt, the Mormon apostle killed at Fine Springs in Crawford County in 1857, passed their boyhood days in communities not far apart in New York State. William Steward gave Apostle Pratt a decent burial in a walnut casket made by steward's own hands.
William Steward died November 23, 1862, from a fall from his horse on his return to his home at Lancaster from a trip to Van Buren.
In 1846, when war was declared against Mexico, two of William s sons, Alexander and Darwin, volunteered in the First Arkansas Regiment, commanded by Colonel Yell. Alexander was Second Lieutenant of the Van Buren Avengers and was enrolled June 26, l846, at Van Buren. Darwin held the Third Corporal in the same company and was enrolled June 26, l846, at Van Buren. He was killed in the battle of Buena Vista. A writer in the Arkansas Intelligencer, a very early Van Buren newspaper, wrote of his death: “Darwin Steward rode perhaps 200 yards before he fell. I passed him but did not know him at that time. He was upon his face and many of our men were simular dressed”. Alexander Steward is buried at the Steward cemetery at Lancaster. No dates are known on his passing.
Harvey Steward, born 1818, in New York, coming to Van Buren in 1836 with his father, William Steward, served as Captain in the Confederate army at the age of 44 and was stationed on Galveston Island in Captain A, J. Berry's Co. C, Williamson county First Battalion and second Brigade. He served in the State Legislature from 1850 to 1852. An act was drawn up by Ben T. Duval and presented by Harvey Steward creating the county of Sebastian. This act was approved by the General assembly. He was married three times. His first wife, Delia Ratliff, to this union was born three sons, Edward Dean Steward, James Ratliff Steward, and William Thompson Steward; his second wife, Agnes Ratliff, sister of Delia, children born to their union were Richard, Mary, Phoebe, Emma and John; third wife was Fannie Steward.
Edward Dean Steward, first son of Harvey Steward, was born December 23, 1841, He served in the Confederate army, Co. “I”, Third Arkansas infantry, organized May 28th, 1861. He married Maria Bob James, He had two children: Dee Steward of Alma and Lydia Steward Kagy, Brownsville, Texas. Dee Steward married Nora Starbird and his children were three daughters, Dorothy, Mary and Sue and two sons, Jack and Jim Steward.
William Thompson Steward, third son of Harvey Steward, at the age of 17, joined Co. D of the 30th Texas Cavalry and was active in Texas Indian territory, Arkansas, Missouri and Louisiana. In 1869, he married Johanna Johnson. This union was blessed with eight children. He was a mason member of the Alma lodge No. 43.
James Ratliff Steward, second son of Harvey Steward, was born June 18, 1843, at Lancaster, where he lived most of his life. He served three years in the Confederate army under Captain Strayhorn in Co. D, Texas Cavalry, enlisting at the age of 18. He was wounded in a skirmish at Roseville, near Ozark, Arkansas. Later, he returned to Lancaster where he married Talitha Cumy Bassham daughter of Coffee Bassham, who was the son of Soloman Bassham, another old pioneer family, who settled around Chester and Mountainburg. James R. Steward ran a sawmill at Lancaster; he also raised fine stock, mostly horses, and was a successful farmer. At the time the Frisco railroad was built through his land, many fine horses were killed on the tracks. He later moved his family to Chester, where he had a hotel, called the “White House”, the Frisco division being there at this time. He also had a livery stable. He joined the Masonic lodge at Mountainburg.
He and his wife, Talitha Cumy Bassham, had four children: Harvey Jones Steward, Edward Thompson Steward, Daisy Isabelle Steward and Delilah May Steward. Harvey and Edward were drowned in the millpond at Lancaster on May 1, 1885. Daisy Isabelle married Revel Seymour Jackson, December 31,___. Their children are: Revel Steward Jackson, Cuenette Jackson Black, and Deweese Jackson Jackson. The grandchildren are: Revel Reed Jackson, Lou Ann Jackson, children of Revel Steward and Lucile Reed Jackson; Terry Moore Black, son Hal and Cuenette J. Black; Joseph Bentley Jackson, son of Wallace and Deweese J. Jackson.
Delilah May Steward married Dell Miller, December 24, 1910. Their children are Maydell Miller Combs and Maribel Miller Burrough. The grandchildren are Vincent M. Burrough, Larry H, Burrough and Joel Van Burrough, sons of Vincent and Manibel Burrough; Marilyn Miller Combs, daughter of Leonard and Maydell Combs.

(Editors Note: An article about John Steward, son of William and his second wife Malissa Dickerson Steward, appeared in the January issue of The Heritage. This information was taken from the late Miss Clara B. Eno's files on Civil War Veterans and the article was prepared by Mrs. G. S. Boggan,)

Tuesday, October 30, 2001
Our Stewarts lived in Montgomerey County, AR. They came to AR from Heard
County, GA after 1860. I am told from someone tracing the same Stewarts that
our Stewarts came from AL to GA. Though I haven't gotten that far myself.
When I go back to the library I will look up again on what I found on the
Plemmons/Stewart connection I had earlier found. I lost my notes and I just
had to reinstall windows last week. I lost everything. I'm afraid I am not
very organized. I will let you know what I find. I will go this weekend, if I
don't make it over there sooner. Also, there is a magazine out on Stewart
Family Clan. I think that is what it is called. You can search for it.
There's a page that has lots of info and where to find the volumes out at the
library and LDS. I don't have the web address anymore. The closest magazine I
can get to is in Little Rock, AR. But as soon as I go back there, I plan to
copy the volumes. Sorry, I wasn't of more help.

Research Notes: I saw your information on the World Tree, but I'm not able to download Gedcom
files. I believe that all the Offields you mentioned are either directly or
indirectly related to me. My great-great-grandfather was James William Offield
b. 3\28\1849 who had a brother named John Powers Offield. This John married
Mary Jane Bounds and later fought in the Civil War out of Hill Co. Tx. James
William also had two sisters, Mary Jane (who married an A.F. Bounds) and
Tennessee (who I have no further info on). The father of these children was
named James as well.

Does any of this info match yours? Are you a descendant of these Offields? I
would very much like to hear back from you. I have a lot of info on my line of
Offields, so perhaps we could learn from each other's stuff.

Hope to hear from you soon!
Randy Offield

Tom,
Thanks for your reply! I am just like you- many questions but only a few
answers. I appreciate you filling me in on the full name of "Ellen" as being
Sarah Ellen Hyden Stewart. I haven't found a marriage license for Ellen and
James Offield, but now this gives me her last name to try and check it that
way.
I have a copy of the 1880 Johnson Co. Tx. census that you mentioned. It lists
John Bullard as 49, Ellen as 36, and the children as Jesse, 10; Ida C., 9;
Cytha E., 8; Rose E., 5; and Lillie, 3. It is very feasible that the eldest
three children were indeed Ellen's and James'. There is no Offield name shown
so I assumed that they might have been raised as Bullards, but if Ida was
using the name of Offield at the time of her marriage, then perhaps the other
children did too. I had this info but didn't realize just what I had until you
mentioned the girls. Thank you for that.
I have Hill Co. Tax records showing James Offield living in that county from
1854 until 1872. In 1873, Ellen Offield is listed as taxpayer and in 1874, no
Offield is shown. The 1874 record also shows a selling of property by John
Bullard. I can only guess that James died in late 1872 or early 1873, Ellen
probably held on for a year, then married John Bullard in March, 1874 and they
moved to Johnson Co. On the 1880 Johnson Co. census, about two houses away
from John and Ellen is an Asa Bullard, his wife and seven children. Perhaps
this Asa is John's brother and that is why they made the move there??
The third census entry that you mentioned in your letter is that of James
William and Rebecca A. Denton Offield and their first child, Harriet Louisa.
They eventually had eight children, including my great-grandfather Charles
Fillip Offield. Rebecca was the second child of William D. and Nancy Denton
and was born in Arkansas. I'm not sure what county she was born in, but were
the Dentons friends of Ellen and her family when she lived in Arkansas???
William and Nancy Denton lived three houses from James and Ellen in the 1870
Hill Co. census. It is only speculation, but perhaps James met Ellen because
she and Rebecca, his daughter-in-law, were long time friends from Arkansas.
I'm not sure, but I go crazy sometimes with all this "what if" and no real
answers. But I enjoy it too much to quit!!!
So you are originally from Abilene?? I have an uncle, C.J. Offield, that has
lived there for about the last twenty years. Do you know him? If you do, it's
truly a small world after all!!
Thanks again for your great info. I truly appreciate the opportunity to
converse with someone who is also trying to solve family puzzles. Maybe one
day, all the pieces will fit! If I have failed to answer any of your questions
or if you have others- please ask me, I will try my best to answer them. Thank
you again for the info.
Take Care,
Randy Offield

Research Notes: History of the Eppler Family
By Doyle Smith Mitchell
Written at San Antonio, Texas, 1921 to 1925

George Eppler was the emigrant ancestor and came from Saxony, Germany before the French and Indian War, and was at the taking of Quebec by General Wolfe, in 1759.

John Eppler was the son of George; Jonathan Eppler was John's and was born in the town of Abbington, VA (Abingdon). The Epplers had gone from Pennsylvania to Virginia. Jonathan reared seven sons and two daughters to be grown. One son, William, was bitten by a mad dog and died when he was twelve years of age. The seven sons who lived to be grown were: Isaac, John, Henry, Marcus, George, Jonathan, and Miles. The two daughters were Ann and Salome, and married two brothers, A.J. and J.M. Speegle.

The Epplers went from Virginia to Missouri and settled in Carroll County, where the town of Dewitt now stands, quite an estate. This was sold many years ago for taxes. And the town now stands on land to which the owners have only a tax title. Many years before the Civil War, a number of the Epplers went from Missouri to Arkansas, locating in or near Ft. Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas. One son, Henry, never left Missouri.

The writer has seen and known descendants of Isaac, John, Henry, Miles, and Ann Eppler Speegle. Has known the descendants of Marcus (Uncle Mac), and of Salome Eppler Speegle. Knows nothing whatever of the families of Jonathan and George. Has been told that George had a number of children, does not remember ever hearing the family of Jonathan mentioned.

Isaac Eppler raised a large family and lost several children before they were grown. His family was reared in and near Ft. Smith, Arkansas. The writer recalls some of the names of the children of Isaac—who was the writer's greatgrandfather----William, John, Ann, Alec, Miles, and Samuel. Samuel was the youngest of the first wife's children. Then by the second wife, the writer recalls the names as follows: Bennett, Dora, Thomas, Robert, and Susie. The writer has seen Great-uncle Robert, who for many years was editor of a paper at Purcell, Oklahoma.

John Eppler reared his family in Scott County, Arkansas. Writer recalls names of following children: Wylie (Wilie), Henry, Ailcie Elizabeth, John, Rufus, Jonathan, and William. All of these raised families except Cousin Willie, the youngest. (Ed. Note: Malcom Marcus and Andrew Murray were also children of John Eppler. Murray died at about age 16, without having married.)

Henry Eppler, who never left Missouri, reared a family, two of whose names are known to the writer: Clark and Chalmers. Clark has been dead a number of years; Chalmers lives in Colorado. (Ed. Note: In other sketches, Aunt Dovie mentions Henry's son, Jonathan, and daughter Geneva Eppler Shanks).

Marcus Eppler (Marquis) (Uncle Mac) married a Miss Cole the first time, a sister of Lewis Francis Cole, grandfather of the writer. She died in a short time and he married a Miss Shoat (Choate?). (Ed. Note: Another source says she was Miss Martin, married first to a Mr. Choate and married second Marcus Eppler.) Two children, Albert and Cynthia are the only children the writer has heard of in this family to live to be grown. The mother died when the children were small and Uncle Mac raised his children alone. He was dearly loved by my mother and grandmother.

Miles Eppler, the youngest of the seven sons and two daughters of Jonathan was born June 30, 1830 where the town of Dewitt now stands in Carroll County, Missouri. He also went to Arkansas, and in an early day left Arkansas and went to Bastrop County, Texas. From there he moved to Cisco, Eastland County, Texas. He reared a large family; the writer has seen one of his grandsons; Jonah Eppler, who now lives in San Antonio, Texas.

Ann Eppler Speegle lived in Fort Smith, Arkansas. She raised five sons and two daughters, names as follows: David, Manuel, John, Jackie, William, Salome, and Margaret. Wiley Speegle, son of David, married Miss Ivy C. Eppler, daughter of Clark Eppler, and granddaughter of Henry Eppler who never left Missouri. Wiley Speegle and family are now living in San Antonio, Texas. There are three children: Gilbert, Arthur, and Ivy Hazel. Uncle Henry Eppler was a Cumberland Presbyterian preacher, well known and well loved. Three of Aunt Ann Speegle's sons are also Cumberland Presbyterian preachers, later going into the union of the two churches, C.P. and U.S.A.

Salome Eppler lived for some years in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The writer does not know how many children she had, names of the two known to her: Liza and Susie. Liza married Henry Thomas, and raised a family; never left Arkansas as far as the writer knows. Aunt Salome and Susie went back to Missouri during the Civil War.

Isaac Eppler, as has been stated, lived in or near Fort Smith, Arkansas, for many years and reared a family there. He was a cabinet workman of the best. He built both houses and furniture. His honor and honesty were unquestioned. The writer has seen one of the substantial houses he built near Fort Smith so many long years ago.

Ann Eppler, daughter of Isaac, was born January 24, 1834, in Missouri, before the family moved to Arkansas. She married when 16 years of age, Lewis Francis Cole, of Scott County, Arkansas. He was born January 9, 1830. To them were born five children, all dying in infancy except the youngest and the oldest. The oldest, Elizabeth Catherine was born November 221, 1851 in Scott County, Arkansas. The youngest, William Miles, lived to be 18 years of age, dying May 23, 1888. Ann Eppler Cole died December 31, 1898, lacking 24 days of being 65 years old. She was buried near Sulphur, Oklahoma. She had made her home with her daughter for 14 years. Lewis Francis Cole died November 14, 1872. He was buried in Scott County, Arkansas. He was a Union soldier during the Civil War. The Cole family to which he belonged was originally from Illinois.

Research Notes: 1. From History of North and West Texas:
John Smith Barlow Walker. In Mr. Walker we find a gentleman whose efforts toward the domestic improvement of Montague county have covered more than a score and a half of years, and since 1877 he has been identified with his farm on the Sunset and Forestburg Road. In 1873 he settled in the rolling country about 3 miles west of Forestburg and his home has been maintained on the same place ever since. Farming was the vocation taught him as a boy in COOKE and GRAYSON counties and that and kindred vocations have claimed his time since he became a man.
By nativity Mr. Walker is a Tennessean, having been born in Jackson county, that state September 19, 1850. He was a son of Francis D. Walker, born in Kentucky in 1801, and brought up there by Matt Walker, his father. Just what family Matt Walker had we cannot tell, but William, Green, and Francis D. were 3 sons and the last passed his life as a farmer. About 1838 he married Mary J. Coundry who was born in 1811, who was his companion through all his trials and vicissitudes in the west and died in Benton county Arkansas in 1867.
Francis D. and Mary's large family consisted of the following children: Marion, of Orr, Indian Territory, Rachel, who died in the Cherokee Nation as the wife of Joseph Bridges; Jesse, who was killed by the Indians at Belknap, Texas while in the military service of Texas, Mary J., of Hardy, Texas wife of T. B. Clark; Sarah and Minerva, twins, the former married Charles Haues and died in Arkansas, and the latter married James Craft and died in the Cherokee Nation; John S.B. and Andrew J., of Bowie, Texas. In 1856 the parents began their westward journey and stopped first in DADE Co. MO., and in 1857 they came on to Texas and settled near Whitesboro in COOKE Co, and later moved to Grayson Co. The house they first built was afterward moved to the townsite of Whitesboro and was the first house of that now substantial town. After remaining in Texas about 10 years, and still believing that the best place was yet ahead, the parents migrated to Benton, County, Arkansas and there the father also passed away in 1888. Mrs. Walker's folks were of the Virginia Coundrys, and farmers, a branch of which dropped down into the state of Tennessee where Mary J. was born in 1811. At about 17 years of age John S.B. Walker began life as a teamster and freighter between Jefferson, Whitesboro, Gainesville, and Ft. Sill, Indian Territory, hailing lumber, supplies, and grain to and from for a period of 4 years. With his accumulations from this source he settled in Montague county and began his life on a new farm. He finally bought a piece of deeded land, built a toy box house on it, and launched himself into the heat of the fight. Practically the whole of his farm has been brought under the plow and cotton, corn, and the stock of the farm have brought him his substantial results. Some years ago he erected a cotton gin near the Walker schoolhouse, but this was some what in the nature of an experiment and its owners hopes for it were not realized.
A year subsequent to his advent to the county, Mr. Walker was united in marriage, July 23, 1874 to Louisa C.E. Box, a daughter of Cornelius and Mary B. (Wells) Box who came to Texas from Calhoun County, Alabama in 1857. Mr. Box settled in Rusk County and there Mrs. Walker was born December 16, 1858. They then moved to Cooke county in 1859. In the order of their birth Mr. and Mrs. Box's children are: Joseph, of Montague county; Calvin and Mrs. Julia Marteen of Hale county; Belle, wife of Ben H. Steadham of Montague county; and Mrs. Walker.
Mr. and Mrs. Walker's children are: Lawrence, who married Minta Farmer and resides on the home place; Lillie wife of E.E. Farmer living near by; Miss Linnie, still at home; Ruth, who married Arthur Teague, of Montague county; and John and Elward still under the paternal roof.
2. From Newton Co., Missouri Records, Abstracts, of Wills and Administrations 1839-1869:
a. 1845 John W. Walker appointed election judge.
b. Estate of Elisha RAwles - James Walker made administrator, bond made for $1000 with Jacob Rader and James Hornback. Rader and John Pennington to be witnesses in making inventory of money and property of deceased.
3. I agree with you that Samuel must be related to the other Walkers.
In fact I feel that John W. is probably an older brother. I did find
information about him. He and his son Francis were doctors and both were
killed by August 1865. There seemed to be a little civil war going on
within the county, and neighbors were shooting neighbors. John W. Walker's
middle name was Wesley. I found an entry of another Walker relinquing his
rights to administer the estate of John Wesley Walker. In it he said all
the bood relations of said deceased person are residing in the State of
Texas. With Samuel naming a son John Wesley it certainly points to some
kinship.
As I mentioned I am descended through William Harrison Walker, from his
oldest daughter Texanna Walker Blair. My father is her oldest son Robert L.
Blair. I have had the same luck getting past Samuel and Margaret that you
have. I was particularly interested in your maiden name for Margaret
Elizabeth. The death certificate you have listed Hurley and the death
certificate I have of my great grandfather William Harrison (information
given by his oldest son Claude) lists her maiden name as Hardy (which I
haven't been able to get anywhere with). My grandmother Texanna who died at
105 on April 16, 1997 alway said her grandmother's name was Hardy. She is
the one who told me where Margaret Elizabeth was buried when I was bemoaning
that Margaret was not buried beside Samuel. She was in her ninties at the
time and had just moved back to DeLeon, Comanche Co. When I asked her if
she had any idea where Margaret was buried she said certainly, she is
buried right here in DeLeon, and I will take you to her grave. Even though
she couldn't see very well by then she got me close enough for me to quickly
find the stone.
My husband and I are leaving for Stephens County on Sunday to take my mother
to visit her only sister who lives north of Breckenridge. We plan to get in
some time in the courthouse. I want to try to locate some other death
certificates of Samuel and Margaret's children. It maybe that I have been
looking for the wrong last name for Margaret all of these years. When I get
back I'll try to send you other information. Let me know what you are
interested in. I had written a letter to you earlier in Katy, Texas. How
did you get so far from home? Your address is listed in Washinton on the
web site. I live in Longview, Texas (between Dallas and Shreveport, LA.),
so I never get enough time in the courthouses of Stephens and Comanche
counties.

4. The spring of 1833 witnessed the arrival of Jesse White and William Walker, who were brothers-in-law, from Washington County, Arkansas. White Is reported to have settled at the mouth of the Osage and William settled on Kings River. Other Walkers, Elizabeth, John S., John W. and Samuel-according to the 1840 Census, plus Wesley Walker who is mentioned by Goodspeed, came later from Tennessee. From Goodspeed's History of Carroll County, Arkansas.
Also:
The minutes from the Proceedings of the Union Association of United Baptists, who held an associational meeting with the Green Forest Church on September 22, 23, and 24, 1961, give us a clue as to what might well have been the first organized church in Carroll County.
"On the fourth Sunday in July, 1838, they organized a church at Joel Plumley's house, the Presbytery consisting of Elders C. B. Whiteley, David Standley and William C. Reed, a deacon. The brethern held annual conferences and councils with the different churches until 1850. During this year the annual conference was held at Union Church, four miles North of Berryville, Carroll County, Arkansas. While in conference on Friday before the second Sunday in September, 1850, a Union Association was organized and it was agreed that the name should be United Baptist, the Association to meet annually among the various churches within their bounds, known as United Baptists."
The above quoted agreement was signed by Rev. I. J. Whiteley, Rev. A. B. Carlock and Rev. John W. Whiteley. An old church membership list that has survived without date lists some of the early members of that church that was organized during 1838, at the home of Joel Plumlee. The list is divided into two groups, Male Members and Female Members:
"Male Members: Elder C. B. Whiteley; William C. Reed, Deacon; Joel Plumlee, Deacon; Isaac Boren, Church Clerk; John Sale as Gan (direct quote, meaning unknown); Absolom Thomas; Bredill Boren; John W. Walker; Abraham Standlee, Preacher; John Standlee; Shepherd Baker; George Gossage; William Walker; Jonathan Baker; David Pirkins; Levi Boren; David Standlee, Preacher; Hiram Hulsey; John Jones; John Powell; Jeremiah Parrish; George Crapaugh, Deacon and Clerk; James C. Whiteley; Samuel Whiteley; ------ Thomas; Dr. Alva Jackson, Doctor; Thomas Harp; Jessey Whiteley and Elder Brantley Wright."
"Female Members: Sally Whiteley; Nancy Reed; Rachael Plumlee; Elizabeth Boren; Ony Sale; Janey Davis; Louisa Walker; Polly Boren; Susannah Standlee; Suskey Standlee; Rebecca Baker; Permela Gossage; Amanda Walker; Elizabeth Baker; Sinthy Pirkins; Mahala Boren; Lucinda Ferguson; Lavina Reed; Sarah Plumlee; Polly White; Patsy Woods; Sally Walker; Samantha Walker; Sarah Biggerstaff; Nancy Jones; Peggy Wells; Susannah Taber; Colly Powell; Nancy Hulsey; Cinthy Boyd; Rances Ross; ------ Suckey; Sally Hulsey; Polly Standlee; Susannah Standlee; Caty Standlee; Caty Davis; Betsy Crabaugh; Anna Boman; Polly Whiteley; Mary Quene Thompson; Nancy Jackson; Rachael Smith; Pheby Whiteley; Abbie Harp; Alvine Moody; Lucy Gossage; Nancy Parrish and Polly Reed."
Historical records suggest that this Old Union Church was organized at the Joel Plumlee home, which was located at "the corner of College and North Main Streets which is approximately 250 yards north of the Old Mill Spring."
"They had regular preaching services only once a month, Saturday morning, Saturday night, Sunday morning and Sunday night. At one monthly meeting after receiving members at the Saturday and Saturday night services, on Sunday morning they retired to the river and baptized six. This was followed by preaching, observing the Lord's Supper, footwashing services and preaching at Brother Plumlee's home that night.
In 1839, this initial organized religious group decided that they needed a church building. The site they selected for their church was "in an oak grove near a good spring on Clabber Creek five miles north of the Joel Plumlee home. The place became known as Black Jack. The site for the church was called Old Union Church."
After this initial beginning, the growing population of Carroll County soon dictated the need for additional churches. "C. B. Whiteley purchased land and a church was organized and a log house built near a spring at Bunch three miles north of Berryville In 1847. C. B. Whiteley was the f irst pastor and the new church took the name of Old Union. After 1847 the Black Jack Church was called Pleasant Hill."

2. From History of Washington Co. Ill.:
On the 24th of Dec. 1807, a short distance east of what is now known as the Dempsey Kennedy Farm, along the old Indian trace, then known as the old Post Vincennes trace, on horseback in indian file, a family of 6 or more persons were traveling. They had come from eastern Ky. by way of the falls of Ohio and Vincennes, had been on the journey many long and bitter cold days, hungry, cold, and tired, their little stock of provisions that had been procured at Vincennes had been exhausted for nearly two days, no game was to be had to relieve them from their sufferings, and starvation stared them in the face. At this juncture they met the "post rider" carrying the mail or dispatches from Kaskaskia to Post Vincennes. In reply to their anxious entreaties for food, he informed them that he had with him barely sufficient provisions to last him through his journey. He told them however, that he had deposited some meat and bread in a locust tree a mile or two beyond
the next strip of timber through which they would pass to which they were
welcome if they would stop and get it. The sharp pangs of hunger caused them to
urge forward their horses with greater speed, until they reached the spot
described where the locust tree was to be found. The father left the group,
following the directions given by the Post Rider, and soon returned with the hidden
provisions, a scanty one indeed, out of which to make a Christmas eve meal,
but it was dispatched with a relish and sincere gratitude that would have
done honor to many a noble man's banquet hall. That was the family of Henry
Dexter (Darter) Senior. John Darter, Barbara Hutchings, and Rhoda Smith
now citizens of Washington Co. were of the party. They proceeded to St. Clair
Co. where they resided for a few years when they returned to this Co. where
they afterwards lived. The circumstances of finding the provisions in the
Locust tree gave rise to the name of "Locust Creek", a name which the creek that
flows south from this point retains to this day.

His father had engaged in the nursery business in Kentucky, and earlier his grandfather had been a nurseryman in Va. Dating from 1757, the business is believed to be the oldest in the US in continuous operation by the same family. Near the furtile shores of the Mississippi River at the sitre later to become Louisiana, James Stark builtg his home and planted his orchard of grafted and budded trees, the first grafted trees west of the Mississippi.

8. The following is a letter written by one of the Anglin family. The
original letter is in the possession of Rosemary Parrish, Groesbeck, Texas, a
descendant of Moses Anglin:
Dear Brother and Sister,

9. -- [ From: Bill R. Hyden * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] --

Freda Hays (husb.Lincoln desc.from Alexander, first child of John 1809)
gave me Tom's e-mail address. When he responded to my query last summer
, he was in Shanghai. Most recently his response was from Budapest...
after he had been to Australia et al. If he ever gets back to the last
mentioned, he'll have to visit the town of HYDEN (80 miles east of Perth
). To my knowledge, Australia and Kentucky are locations of only two
towns by that name.

Tom did send me the FAMILY TREE MAKER info, so if his is same as yours
I've got it.

Bear with me while I play 'catch up'. My having been on the road
working for much of the past few years has slowed down my family search
and items are not subject to immediate recall in this 75 year old brain.

Let me feed you a few facts instead of waiting until I've surfaced
everything: First, JOHN HYDEN is definitely located in Virginia. We
find him there in several documents...and somehow the HYDEN family and
the ANGLIN family stayed closely connected.

SAMUEL HANDLEY was born in Pennsylvania. He died in Paris, IL in 1852.
SAMUEL was married to MARY RIPPLE, who died in 1849 at 75 years of age.
The moved from Muehlenberg, Kentucky to Edgar County, IL, near Paris on
Big Creek, Sims or, Symmes, Township, Post Office Oliver, in 1919.

Children of Samuel and Mary: Joseph, Matthew, William, Lydia, Mary
(Polly), Setha (Sitha, Sytha, Cynthia), Michael, Anthony, Samuel,
Ephraim, John, David, Elizabeth, Sarah (Sallie), Savilla (Serviller).

The name was sometimes spelled Hanley on documents. Samuel's father is
said to have been born in Ireland. Some report said he was 15 years old
when he came to Pennsylvania. I looked through ship's passenger lists
and found nothing. I did read read children were oftimes left off the
lists.

I found the HANDLEY family on tax rolls but could not find a deed,
although I understood that SAMUEL got a land grant. Eventually I
learned that land grant records were kept in the Secretary of State
office and not in the county courthouse. I found it and have it...
somewhere...around here someplace...

I have further information on the RIPPLE family, also.

I have a note here that shows SAMUEL (this would be Jr.) and SENA
HANDLEY are buried in KNIGHT/QUINN CEMETERY, SYMMES TOWNSHIP, Northwest
of Oliver, Illinois - NE/4 of Section 14.

When you corresponded with GENE HYDEN...didn't he tell you of the
Quarterlies he has that contain an abundance of HYDEN information? Gene
found my name in the back of an Air Force Magazine in early 1960's. He
got in touch and we have goaded each other on with the HYDEN searches
ever since. Starting THE HYDEN FAMILIES Quarterly in 1978. At some
later point, I turned the whole thing over to him since I just did not
have the time for it. He did an excellent time of 'keeping it alive'
and has gathered and printed a mammoth amount of information. The
Quarterlies have been available for sale but the membership was never
such that he could even break even on the project. Check with Gene re:
what pertinent copies he has.

Now, one final note: As I mentioned, I have never been able to find
recorded confirmation that JOHN HYDEN is the first born child of JAMES
GOFF HYDEN. However, about 15 years ago I attended a HYDEN reunion in
Groesbeck, Texas. While listening to some comments by PLEASANT (Plez)
HYDEN, I heard him mention an UNCLE JOHN. Knowing his own father was
named JACK I queried him on that and he said UNCLE JOHN was his
grandfather's broter. EUREKA! That was what I had been trying to find
out.

Unfortunately, my grandson Caleb had partaken of a spoiled corndog and
we spent much of the time in the hospital emergency room and did not get
to talk with Plez again. The next year, I went back and cornered him...
but his 92nd year of life had taken its toll and he didn't remember
anything about an Uncle John. BUT...sitting within earshot was his 'kid
brother' who was only 86 years old and he did remember and said that was
correct...Uncle John was a brother of their grandfather. That meant
that JOHN HYDEN was a son of JAMES GOFF HYDEN. I accept that...but
still want further proof.

Trying to determine her real given name is a chore.

The death certificate of Savilla Matilda is wrong...John Hyden was born
in Virginia, perhaps Lee County. Cynthia (or whomever) was born in
Kentucky. I have information on her parents and others. My
genealogical material is in disarray as I have been 'on the road'
working...long past the usual age of retirement. Handley is the correct
surname.

10. Edgar County Illinois, May 6, 1837. John Hyden and his wife Sythia of Edgar County sold to Christopher Hensley 40 acres for $65. Property described as designated and known in the plan and plat of lands sold at Palestine as the SE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of section number 10 in township number 12 N of range number 12 W. Their marks.
11. Edgar County, Illinois, November 24, 1845. John Hyden and Sytha his wife of the County of Clark sold to Christopher Housley for $65 40 acres described as: subject to entry at Palestine to wit - the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of section number 10 in township number 12 N of Range 12W. Their marks.
12. Edgar County, Illinois, September 9, 1837John Hyden and Sittha his wife of Edgar County sold to Stephen Lee also of Edgar County a parcel of land known in the plan and plat of lands sold at Palestine, as the SE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of section number 2, in township number 12N of Range 13W containing 40 acres.

51. Cynthia Handley, daughter of Samuel Handley and Mary Martha Ripple , was born about 1808 in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky and died after 1880 in Texas. Other names for Cynthia were Cynthia, Setha, Sitha, Sithey, and Sytha.

General Notes: Name may be Cynthia Hadley

-- [ From: Bill R. Hyden * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] --

Freda Hays (husb.Lincoln desc.from Alexander, first child of John 1809)
gave me Tom's e-mail address. When he responded to my query last summer, he was in Shanghai. Most recently his response was from Budapest...after he had been to Australia et al. If he ever gets back to the last mentioned, he'll have to visit the town of HYDEN (80 miles east of Perth ). To my knowledge, Australia and Kentucky are locations of only two towns by that name.

Tom did send me the FAMILY TREE MAKER info, so if his is same as yours
I've got it.

Bear with me while I play 'catch up'. My having been on the road
working for much of the past few years has slowed down my family search
and items are not subject to immediate recall in this 75 year old brain.

Let me feed you a few facts instead of waiting until I've surfaced
everything: First, JOHN HYDEN is definitely located in Virginia. We
find him there in several documents...and somehow the HYDEN family and
the ANGLIN family stayed closely connected.

SAMUEL HANDLEY was born in Pennsylvania. He died in Paris, IL in 1852.
SAMUEL was married to MARY RIPPLE, who died in 1849 at 75 years of age.
The moved from Muehlenberg, Kentucky to Edgar County, IL, near Paris on
Big Creek, Sims or, Symmes, Township, Post Office Oliver, in 1919.

Children of Samuel and Mary: Joseph, Matthew, William, Lydia, Mary
(Polly), Setha (Sitha, Sytha, Cynthia), Michael, Anthony, Samuel,
Ephraim, John, David, Elizabeth, Sarah (Sallie), Savilla (Serviller).

The name was sometimes spelled Hanley on documents. Samuel's father is
said to have been born in Ireland. Some report said he was 15 years old
when he came to Pennsylvania. I looked through ship's passenger lists
and found nothing. I did read read children were oftimes left off the
lists.

I found the HANDLEY family on tax rolls but could not find a deed,
although I understood that SAMUEL got a land grant. Eventually I
learned that land grant records were kept in the Secretary of State
office and not in the county courthouse. I found it and have it...
somewhere...around here someplace...

I have further information on the RIPPLE family, also.

I have a note here that shows SAMUEL (this would be Jr.) and SENA
HANDLEY are buried in KNIGHT/QUINN CEMETERY, SYMMES TOWNSHIP, Northwest
of Oliver, Illinois - NE/4 of Section 14.

Pam, I've got a request. When you respond to my e-mail, do it
separately from my letter. If you don't it adds my letter to your
response. Since I print out most letters receive, I'd rather not have
my own mail come back at me. Thanks.

I have most of the birth date and marriage info on some of these, I just
haven't gotten it all put on my comp yet. (Not to mention the fact that I
seem to have misplaced the written copy my grandfather gave me !)
I hope some of this helps.
Thanks again,

m.1st wife-when, where? (It has been suggested that Asa's Indian wife
may have been of the Lumbee Tribe, found mostly in Robeson, Scotland,
and Hoke Co.NC. This tribe traces back to the lost Roanoke Colony,
where Bullard is said to have been one of the colonies surnames.)
There is also info that Berniece came across that says something about
the Bullard line in Robeson Co.NC being illegitimate.
1812 Asa L. Bullard served War of 1812, Cap.Abner Pennies Co. of Inf-TN
Militia commanded by Major Wm.Woodfolk.[I cannot find the cite for
this, wonder if, considering all the different b.dates we have for Asa,
this is our Asa?]
1830 CENSUS-Marion Co., IL
Lists Asa as age 20-30, one female 20-30, one male 0-5 [this would put
him b. 1800-1810-are we confusing Asas?]

Research Notes: 1. Just wanted to let you know, grandma Maybell (yes, that's what everyone calls
her, so I wasn't surprised really at the missing first name), has outlived
all of her children, my grandfather, Cecil, passed away 11-29-1998.
Grandma Maybell doesn't even know who she is these days. Because grandpa
Cecil was my hero, and I have no desire for contact with any of my immediate
family, I decided to begin researching what I could of our family tree.
My grandfather gave me his copy of the compiled genealogy of our family
shortly before his death.
There are a couple of tidbits of information that I become increasingly
curious about.
Do you have the last name of Asa Lorenzo's first wife? I know that the first
and middle names of his first wife were Chloe Anna.
She has long been the object of my fascination.
Also, have you found anything tying Vinse Taylor (married Emmaline Burge,
parents of Rosa Belle Taylor, married Justin Bullard) to President Zachary
Taylor. The majority of the information that I have came from Grandma
Maybell and family bibles from what I understand. In the compilation that I
have it is footnoted that Grandma "thinks that Vinse Taylor was a cousin to
Pres. Zachary Taylor." I am really just curious about this.
It also says that Vinse Taylor was killed by Joel Burge (Emmaline's father)
shortly after Emmaline died.
This may be an area that you have not been particularly interested in. It
seems every day that I find just a bit more information I become more
entrenched in this family history of ours.
I want to thank you for putting the information that you have on the net, I
am slowly but surely trying to do so also.
Thank you again, and I hope any of the information I have provided has been
helpful.
Tammie

2. Hello again,
The wife I am referring to is named Anna. Yes, she was the mother of Asa Dow.
I too have been told that she was Choctaw Indian, by my grandfather. He
unfortunately, didn't know her name. I have been told by another person who
researched her that she was deeded some property by her father in St. Louis
as a dowry. Unfortunately, I lost Sherry's email and haven't been able to
reestablish contact her for Anna's last name.
I am of the assumption that since the property was previously owned by her
father, that it had to have been her mother who was Choctaw. I have had a
very, very difficult time in learning any information about Anna's ancestry.
American Indian ancestry seems to be the most difficult to trace because of
the lack of records kept.
I will certainly check out the information that you have on your web site,
and would be glad to provide any additional information that you may not have
available. Please, if by chance you learn anything about Anna, let me know.
She is my whole reason for becoming interested in my ancestry.
Thank you very much for responding to my email.
Tammie

9. The trial of Rama Dye, taken from the Southwestern Historical Quarterly Vol. LXVI, Jan. 1963, No. 3:
(Ramey Dye, a farmer, was born in Missouri in 1819 and migrated to Cooke Co., TX with Peter's Colony 1848)
The State of Texas vs. Ramey Dye. Charge: Disloyalty or Treason.
Testimony of Arphax Dawson: (Arphax Dawson was born in Ga. in 1805. He was one of the first settlers of Cooke Co. His daughter Mary was married to Ramey Dye).
Witness: RAMEY DYE came to my house and told me that M.D. Harper had been arrested on the charge with being connected with our society and that there woulkd be a meeting held that night (1 Oct. 1862) near Lattimer's and Ritchies steam mill for the purpose of consulting how to rescue Harper. He wished me to attend and bring my gun, which I did. The meeting was attended by RAMEY DYE, JOHN M. WILEY, ISHAM WELCH, WM. BOYLES, JOHN WARE, H. GILMAN, ROBT. DUNCAN, and others.
He talked about the recue Harper. We came to the conclusion that the force at GAinesville was too strong for us to accomplish our purpose.
Testimony of Ben F. Barnes:
Witness: There was a meeting at the steam mill last Wednesday night. Some members observed we had better go to the Northern army where we could fare better. They were to hold a meeting the next night, somewhere. RAMEY DYE was appointed Captain.
Testimony of I.W. MORRIS:
Witness: I was at the meeting at Ritchie's Mill. Dr. Foster said the purpose of the meeting was to rescue Harper; and he wanted us to take our guns and go - myself and RAmey Dye. The reason we did not go to rescue Harper was amessenger, ESSMAN, told us that there were a great many soldiers in Gainesville and we were then afraid.
Tesimony of GILBERT SMITH:
Witness: I was at the meeting on Wednesday night. Present: RAMEY DYE, JAMES POWERS, MOSES POWERS, JOHN WARE, JOHN W. MORRIS,Dr. FOSTER, H.J. ESSMAN, HARRY GILMAN, ARPHAX DAWSON, O.B. ATKINSON, and WM. BOYLES. We were all ordered to bring our guns. I loaded mine after I got there. I suppose there were 28 men in all.
Our object was to come here (Gainesville) and rescue the prisoners. RAMEY DYE was chosen Captainb. We concluded to get away when ESSMAN came and reported the number of men in town. We adjourned to meet again the next night and consult what to do. I understood we had spies out. Mr. Welch started up here to see how many men were in town. He was sent by the company. Some men were sent out two or three times to spy out and see if anybody approached. Old man COCHRAN went over to Red River to see how many members of the Order there, were over there in that section. SNODGRASS was there when I arrived. I understood that the signs would protect us when the Northern army came.
Dye was found guilty and hung.
(Avery Dye and 28 of the others were hung there and left there to be taken down by family). (Avery Dye and Ramey Dye were cousins, their fathers were Rama (Ramey) Dye and Fauntleroy Dye. Rama Dye was the first to acquire land in Monroe County, Missouri. (See History article in Vol. II June 1993 Issue 3)
Note from Betty Cochran: Even though its my family, I thought this History background was interesting. I think these two Dyes were the only two who were outrageous of my family, at least the only ones I know of. Although their great grandfather, Fauntleroy Dye of Mercer-Boyle, Kentucky was a colorful character and was in trouble several times.
10. Rama's Will, made the night before his execution:
Will Dated Oct. 13, 1862

The State of Texas. In the name of God, Amen, County of Cooke. I Rama Dye of the County of
Cooke State aforesaid being of sound mind and memory and considering the uncertainty of this frail
and transitory life, do therefore make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be my last will and
testament, that is to say, first after all my lawful debts are paid, and discharged, the residue of my
estate real and personal, I give, bequeath, and dispose of as follows, to wit. To my beloved wife,
Mary Ann Dye, My Daughter, Margaret E. and Rachael Dye, and my son (s?) Rama J. Dye all my
property, to be divided equally among my heirs above named.
Likewise, I make, constitute, and appoint my Brother Jacob Dye to be executor of this my last will
and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me made.
I further wish that my Estate may not be probated, but that an Inventory of all my property may be
recorded in the Probate Court.
In witness whereof I hereunto subscribe my name, and affixed my seal, using scroll? this thirteenth
day of October AD 1862.

Research Notes: 1. Wiley Pevehouse - In giving a sketch of this gentleman it is but fair to say that he is one of the prominent farmers of Greene Co., Ark., and that he is a man of sound judgement and unimpeachable honesty. He was born on Crowley's Ridge, in Greene Co., on the 2nd of July, 1828, being the second child born there, his brother William, whose birth occurred April 7, 1826, having been the first. He was the 4th child of Abraham and Polly (Crowley) Pevehouse, who came to Arkansas at an early day. After spending a year on Black River they came to Crowley's Ridge and made the first settlement in NE Arkansas. The paternal grandparents were of Virginia stock and moved from that state to SC and thence to KY, of which section they were pioneers about 1822 coming to Arkansas. The parents of the subject died about 1835 and from that time to manhood he made his home with his grandfather Benjamin Crowley. The latter was a very extensive farmer and stock raiser, and Mr. Pevehouse drove stock all of the way to St. Louis, and later to Memphis and Helena. During his chidhood he depended on his own resources for a livelihood and hunted and sold his furs and hides and later farmed in a small way. When some 25 years of age he married Miss Margaret Capps, a native of Arkansas whose family were early settlers in the area. She died in 1858 leaving 2 childern, Sarah who married a Mr. Harris, and died soon thereafter, and Cynthia Ann wife of Dr. McKenzie now living at Crowley. Mr. Pevehouse took for his second wife Miss Frances Bowman whom he married in 1860. Her death occured on th 13th of October 1870. She and Mr. Pevehouse were the parents of the following children: William who is married and resides in Lawrence Co., Lucy Jane, the wife of John Gramling, John P. who died on the 31st of MArch, 1888 at the age of 22 and Mary Elizabeth.

3. There is no proven link between John and William.
4. The following is just research aids:
a. In about 1751 or 52 there was emigration from Pennsylvania of
Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, and also from Virginia, some of whom had formerly been of the Church of England. The progress of settlement was slow until 1755, when consequence of Braddock's defeat and the incursion of the Indians, the whole country of Upper Carolina began to receive refugees from Pennsylvania and Virginia. These settlers opened communications with their friends in Ireland a direct immigration from that country which reached its height perhaps in 1768. Each man twenty-one years or over, received a bounty grant of 100 acres
of land as a head right and an additional fifty acres for each member of
his family.
b. 1750-51 a handful of emigrants from Pa. and Va. came by wagon train to Chester Co. That settled in south eastern county on Little Rocky Creek and Big Rocky Creek on Bull Run.
c. In 1750, soon after the removal of the Rev. Alexander Craighead
Society at Octorare, Pennsylvania and other covenanters from Va. and NC settled this region. In 1755 emigrants from Ireland began to settle the country, and among them were many Covenanter families.
d. In the early church worshipped the founders of Catholic named and
for the anniversary: "the families of Steel, Bailey, Brown, King, Corder,
Culp, Curry, Dunn, Nixon, McCalla, Hemphill, Harbison, Johnson, Coulter, and Harper.
5. Mrs. Strange, an historian in Chester Co. said that the Corders
intermarried with the Adams family, and was probably related to them by blood. "Samuel Adams whose name should have appeared on the monument, was a soldier of the Revolution. The monument she speaks of is a large one placed at the cemetary at the site of Catholic Presbyterian Church that names the sons of the Church that served in the revolutionary war. Among those names was John Corder.
6. From revolutionary war records on file with the State Historical
Commission Columbia, SC.:
a. 7th Sept. 1784, Book I, No. 184. Mr. John Corder, his account of 43
days militia duty amounts to 6..2..10 1/2. Six pounds - two shillings &
ten pence farthing Stg.
b. I do hereby authorize and impower the bearer Samuel Adams to receive an indent to the amount of my account due by the public for military duty and this my order shall be your receipt from me. Oct. 7, 1790.
c. Outside of the above sheet:"State of South Carolina Debtor to John
Corder-43 days horseman duty under Liet. Bell at 1 pound per day".
7. A piece of paper was found in the basement of the Chester Co. courthouse that said the following: "W.A. Rosborough testified - plantation of John Corder is tolerably well fixed, pretty good log houses, good orchards, very few persons residing there. A traveler can scarcely get a place to stop at through the barren land. Has no slaves".

Research Notes: 1. Estelle Corder PO Box 71, Larue,TX 75770. Ph 903-675-8213. 8-28-99:
a. Elias Corder moved into Spartenburg Co. SC in 1801 from (same Elias as in James will).
b. William fought in Rev War from SC
c. Speculate that the William in Rev War is son of James and Elizabeth in Fauquier. (William disappeared).
d. James gave everything to Elias in 1792 no mention of William. Elias married Ann Tapp. Did this through court records. Wouldn't do this if he wanted to share with all living children?

5. Dad,
Here are a few research tidbits I've picked up here and there. Also,
the file named "John" may explain where that info comes from in the
IGI! (Is my face red? I've had this for months.) If you would like to
write to this lady, that is if you haven't already, let me know and I'll

Dear Pam:

I have a small Carolina file which contains stuff Estelle has sent me.
he says here...John Corder died 1760 in Fauquier Co, VA,, wife Patience was
Admin. of estate. By 1769 Patience, John, William and Joseph Corder were
in NC. Then she mentions John and Gracy Corder. She says that Ann Auburg
is the best researcher of this line. Darn, I lost your original email.

8. E-mail from Ann Alton:

Thank you so much for responding. I have a copy of the Jacob Boney,
Fairfield Co SC will, but had not come across the other information you
sent. Samuel Boney is on the 1820 and 1830 census for Limestone Co Al and my gr-gr-grandfather, Henry W. was born there in 1825. Undocumented family records list his father as Samuel Boney, b. circa 1794 in SC, son of Jacob Boney, b. 1751 Duplin Co, NC., son of Jacob Boney, will dated 1761, Duplin Co NC. It is believed that this last Jacob was born 1708 and is the Jacob who is brother to Michael and Wimbert (sometimes spelled Wimberk) , father Joggi BONI of Frenkendorf, Switzerland. Wimbert's descendants have quite a bit of documentation and have taken Joggi's line back to 1575 in Frenkendorf. Joggi was in the Carolinas by 1736. Joggi, a German nickname for Jacob, has three or four forefathers named Jacob/Joggi and Hans (German nickname for Johannes). I can send you this if you are interested--it also includes wives' surnames.

My problem is that it appears to be a skipped generation in there somewhere or we are off-track with Samuel, as the Samuel you reference is still buying property in SC in the 1840's. After the 1820 and 1830 census I can't find another Samuel until 1870, where there are 3 of them in NC: Duplin Co, New Hanover Co, and Brunswick Co. An S. J. and Martha L. BONY are listed together in New Hanover Co. on the 1860 census.

I have Colemans in another line, I am not familiar with Hoods, but Wootens and Boneys have intermarried for generations. I do not have a Wooten in my direct line that I know of, but have many listed as spouses of siblings of my direct line. Henry W. Boney's children were all born in Cass Co. TX so most of my information is about TX Wooten/ons. Wootens and Boneys also intermarried with Bobo lines. Are you researching primarily Wooten or Boney?
I have lived in Germany for 14 years, where my husband works for Civil
Service. Although I am a patron assistant at the local LDS Family History
Center, long-distance research is still difficult! I appreciate your time on
this and will send you Jacob/Joggi lineage if you are interested.

Thanks! Ann Alton

I have more on the descendants of these children, but nothing on the
ancestors. The funny thing is that I am not related to this line. My
line is Nathaniel Hood, but some descendants in this line marry into some of my
other lines. Raines for example is one of my other lines, but this line marries a
sibling of my direct line. I hope you find this helpful.

4. Hi Tom Im still looking for Matthews father but I did find something I
found a Land deed Fairfield County book DD page 98 it simply says that
Matthews wife Rachel formally Rachel Trapp her father was William Trapp dec
this was dated 1821 This land was on Cedar Creek next to William Brom Just
wanted to share Glenda
GLENDA INABINET <[email protected]>
4. Matthew was murdered on July 19, 1852. This story comes from the "Sumter Banner" july 27, 1852. We learn from the Winnsboro Register that a difficulty occurred on the 19th instant, in the lower part of Fairfield District, near the Charlotte Railroad ot which Matthew Wooten aged 78 was stabbed to death by one Jordan Beard age 22 or 23. Beard has not been arrested at last counts. (ref. SC Mag. Ancestral Research vol.14, pg 89 )
5. According to the 1850 census, Matthew Wooten's neighbors were the Lewis' , the Hoods, the Blizzards, the Boneys, the Raines, the Colemans and the Miles. Our ancesters married into the Hoods, the Boneys , the Raines, and the Colemans. They must've been tight neighbors. Or maybe the lack of prospects.

Hi Tom I was in Columbia a few weeks ago and found a little info on Matthews
murder. I ordered a lot of info from the films. but I did find this. It seems Matthew and Jordan Beard got into a shouting match in their front yard and Matthew went after him with a stick Jordan got a 6" hunting knife and stabbed him 3 times. He, Jordan, was convicted of Manslaughter and got 1 year and $500. fine. Some of those present were Hampton his son Asy(asa) blind ? and John and Thomas Howell (grandson) It seems that Mary Wooten born abt 1800-1803 married Howell and lived near Matthew. I believe that this is the Mary we have that married Benj Hood. I still think that Matthews mother was named Mary and his father was John son of Daniel. 0 documentation. and Mary Wooten Hood was Matthews sister. The more I look the more I am disproving Bev Wootens info. Im still looking. Glenda
9. 1827 No. of Bill 10 – Petition – Zach Trapp, Sarah Trapp, Mary Trapp, Jesse ??? and Elizth his wife, Lear Trapp, Levi Trapp, Timothy Trapp, vs. Matthew Wooten and Rachel his wife.

Research Notes: 1. From Glenda Inabinet ([email protected]) 8-30-00
Hi Tom got your EMail. maybe I can answer some of these questions.Matthew
was born either in SC or Ga about 1774 or 75. He married Milly and was in
Fairfield Co in 1806 I believe Milly died after 06 and he married Rachel abt 1820 or after 06. he shows up in the 1810 Cencus first and then on every cencus until 1850. Mary who lis supposed to be his first child was born in 1789 marries Benj Hood. and we know she is in Fairfield with Benj and her children He is also listed on a land deed with Daniel Wooten in 1832 for Mark Wooten b 1779 could be Marys brother. Matthews other children are born after 1800. on Matthews estate purchasers... we know who Benj Hood was (Marys son or Husband)) Anthony Raines (Hamptons father-in-law
2. From Glenda Inabinet ([email protected]) 8-30-00
Hi Tom thanks for all the info. Thats a lot of work. I have found no Blizzards in my Wooten line just neighbors. I truly do not believe that Matthew was born in Telfair Co according to Martha S Wooten Telfair was the home of Joel Wooten and his decendants they came there in early 1800 until this time Telfair was Indian Terr. If Matthew was born in Ga in 1774-75 it would have Wilkes Washington or Savannah Counties No records anywhere. also I still believe Milly was Matthews first wife and because of the birthdates there would have been over 15 years between these children Mary and the other children I have not found a record of Armenia. Aaron Sr and Daniel were one of the first families of Fairfield and I believe they were either brothers or cousins Aaron 's son Joseph was living with Nathaniel Hood in the 1840 cencus of Fairfield Aaron Sr named all his children in his will and it did not mention Mary Daniels wife was named Mary Ann and he is on several wittness list with Benjamin Hood there has got to be a direct conection between them We also have Mark and Jefferson in Richland Co which is just a few miles away. most of this part of Fairfield is now in Richland Co. Most of this info I have is from the Archives in Columbia and some I have the original documents in the old courthouse in Winnsboro. some of my early info given to me was very wrong so I have tried to be very careful since then. My info from Bev Wooten was not documented and could not send me any proof. sorry if I gave you anything that later proved wrong we just want our own ancestors not someone elses.. thanks
again Glenda

General Notes: 1. -- [ From: Bill R. Hyden * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] --
Freda Hays (husb.Lincoln desc.from Alexander, first child of John 1809)
gave me Tom's e-mail address. When he responded to my query last summer
, he was in Shanghai. Most recently his response was from Budapest...
after he had been to Australia et al. If he ever gets back to the last
mentioned, he'll have to visit the town of HYDEN (80 miles east of Perth). To my knowledge, Australia and Kentucky are locations of only two
towns by that name. Tom did send me the FAMILY TREE MAKER info, so if his is same as yours I've got it.
Bear with me while I play 'catch up'. My having been on the road
working for much of the past few years has slowed down my family search
and items are not subject to immediate recall in this 75 year old brain.
Let me feed you a few facts instead of waiting until I've surfaced
everything: First, JOHN HYDEN is definitely located in Virginia. We
find him there in several documents...and somehow the HYDEN family and
the ANGLIN family stayed closely connected.
SAMUEL HANDLEY was born in Pennsylvania. He died in Paris, IL in 1852.
SAMUEL was married to MARY RIPPLE, who died in 1849 at 75 years of age.
They moved from Muehlenberg, Kentucky to Edgar County, IL, near Paris on
Big Creek, Sims or, Symmes, Township, Post Office Oliver, in 1919.
Children of Samuel and Mary: Joseph, Matthew, William, Lydia, Mary
(Polly), Setha (Sitha, Sytha, Cynthia), Michael, Anthony, Samuel,
Ephraim, John, David, Elizabeth, Sarah (Sallie), Savilla (Serviller).

The name was sometimes spelled Hanley on documents. Samuel's father is
said to have been born in Ireland. Some report said he was 15 years old
when he came to Pennsylvania. I looked through ship's passenger lists
and found nothing. I did read read children were oftimes left off the
lists.

I found the HANDLEY family on tax rolls but could not find a deed,
although I understood that SAMUEL got a land grant. Eventually I
learned that land grant records were kept in the Secretary of State
office and not in the county courthouse. I found it and have it...
somewhere...around here someplace...

I have further information on the RIPPLE family, also.

I have a note here that shows SAMUEL (this would be Jr.) and SENA
HANDLEY are buried in KNIGHT/QUINN CEMETERY, SYMMES TOWNSHIP, Northwest
of Oliver, Illinois - NE/4 of Section 14.

When you corresponded with GENE HYDEN...didn't he tell you of the
Quarterlies he has that contain an abundance of HYDEN information? Gene
found my name in the back of an Air Force Magazine in early 1960's. He
got in touch and we have goaded each other on with the HYDEN searches
ever since. Starting THE HYDEN FAMILIES Quarterly in 1978. At some
later point, I turned the whole thing over to him since I just did not
have the time for it. He did an excellent time of 'keeping it alive'
and has gathered and printed a mammoth amount of information. The
Quarterlies have been available for sale but the membership was never
such that he could even break even on the project. Check with Gene re:
what pertinent copies he has.

Now, one final note: As I mentioned, I have never been able to find
recorded confirmation that JOHN HYDEN is the first born child of JAMES
GOFF HYDEN. However, about 15 years ago I attended a HYDEN reunion in
Groesbeck, Texas. While listening to some comments by PLEASANT (Plez)
HYDEN, I heard him mention an UNCLE JOHN. Knowing his own father was
named JACK I queried him on that and he said UNCLE JOHN was his
grandfather's broter. EUREKA! That was what I had been trying to find
out.

Unfortunately, my grandson Caleb had partaken of a spoiled corndog and
we spent much of the time in the hospital emergency room and did not get
to talk with Plez again. The next year, I went back and cornered him...
but his 92nd year of life had taken its toll and he didn't remember
anything about an Uncle John. BUT...sitting within earshot was his 'kid
brother' who was only 86 years old and he did remember and said that was
correct...Uncle John was a brother of their grandfather. That meant
that JOHN HYDEN was a son of JAMES GOFF HYDEN. I accept that...but
still want further proof.

Pam, I've got a request. When you respond to my e-mail, do it
separately from my letter. If you don't it adds my letter to your
response. Since I print out most letters receive, I'd rather not have
my own mail come back at me. Thanks.

General Notes: 1. NOTE:Edith Knott and Helen Lent have suggested that Wright may be the son of John Bullard, Sr. from mIreland. It all fits together with one exception and that is that in the Bullard Newsletter there is a statement that John, Sr. only had one son and that would be John, Jr.......but I still wonder......
2. In the 1840 Marion Co., Ill census Lorenzo Dow has a male between the
ages of 70 and 80. This may be Wright, Sr.
3. Donnitta Bullard Plowman has Wright, Sr's death ca 1820 TN and that he
resided in SC, NY, TN.
4. !BIO: According to "Biographical & Historical Memoirs of Southern Arkansas 1890" "Wright Bullard emigrated from Ireland prior to the War of 1812, served in that memorable struggle, and was in the Northern division of the American army."

12. The Epplers are proud, high strung, and quick tempered. There been many family quarrels from time immemorial. Her father Henry quarreled with his father Jonathan about slavery, left home when a young man, and never again saw his father and many other members of the family branch. Jonathan Eppler, a farmer of Empire township, Andrew County, was born October 2, 1840, and he is the son of Henry and Elizabeth Clark Eppler. The father was born in Sevierville, Tenn. December 1808, and is the son of Jonathan Eppler, a native of Virginia of German lineage. He, Henry, removed from East Tennessee in 1821 and settled first and Randolph County, but later became a citizen of Andrew County with which the history of his life has been identified. He is now of advanced age and resides in Empire township. He was a soldier in the Civil War in the Union army. There was a bitter quarrel between Jonathan, a wealthy slave owner, in his third son, Reverend Henry Eppler, who had become an ardent abolitionist. So, when Jonathan and all others of his sons and daughters made the move to Arkansas, Henry remained in Missouri, where he married in 1837. Interview in 1925 with Geneva M.

General Notes: 1. Excerpts from "Trail of Tears, the rise and fall of the Cherokee Nation", by John Ehle.
Pages 69, 70, and 71:
In recent autumns, once the crops were in, John Sevier and his brother Val, leaders among the white Tennesseans, would lead raiding parties against Indians in order to keep them respectful. Recently the campaigns had aborted. It was impossible to find an enemy. The Sevier men would hire an English-speaking Indian guide, and they would follow his direction, and it did not occur to Sevier that his party was being led astray. In September 1782, James Sevier, one of John's sons, served on one such expedition. In two letters he gives quite different accounts of what happened:
We set out for the Indian country in the month of September, 1781. On the Highwassee river and Chicamauga creek we destroyed all their towns, stock, corn, & everything they had to support on. We then crossed a small range of mountains to the Coosa river, where we found and destroyed several towns, with all their stock, corn, & provisions of every kind. The Indians eluded our march and kept out of our way in the general, although a few men, women and children were surprised and taken. We left the Coosa river for home about the last of October. . . . We all set out for our homes without the loss of a single man.
Marched first through the Upper Cherokee towns, who were at peace; got John Watts and a half breed of the name of Butler to pilot the army. At Tellico met old Hanging Maw who was friendly; the Hiwassee towns professed to be at peace and were not molested. . . [A]s the first incident of the campaign . . . they neared Chestue Creek, the advance guard met two lndians coming towards them in the path; the Indians broke and run. Major Val. Sevier took the lead in their pursuit but the Indians had so far the start that they would have got off but for James Sevier and 3 others forming a flanking party on horseback and had rode upon a very large mound; and while viewing it heard the disturbance ahead and in a few moments saw an Indian running at full speed and making for a canebreak near by; Sevier and his party dashed down the mound, cut off his retreat, seeing which the Indian suddenly stopped, raised both hands and uttered a most pitiful and imploring cry. He was taken captive. Col. and Major Sevier and Watts and Butler now coming up, the captive was questioned as to where the other lndians went and replied he had secreted himself under the creek bank. Col. Sevier desired Watts to call for him to come in and surrender and he should not be hurt, Watts raised a yell, and the Indian, sure enough, emerged from under the creek bank and gave himself up.
Went to several hostile towns on the Chickamauga creek. The Indians kept out of the way; destroyed their crops, towns, corn mostly in the fields, in which they would turn their horses. Camped several days at Bull Town on that creek. Watts sent and had Miss Jane Ireland brought in, who had been captured a year or so before on Roan's Creek, in Johnson County now.. . .(John) Rogers soon after came in. Jack Civil, a free negro, also came in.
Followed up Chickamauga creek and over to the head waters of Coosa, and on this route came upon the cabin of Patrick Clements, an Irishman, a British refugee who was living with Nancy Coody; both were captured, and Clements soon after broke and attempted to make his escape. Isaac Thomas shot and killed him. Nancy was kept prisoner.
Then passed to Spring Frog Town, on Coosa; and when at a distance from the town, a canoe of Indians was observed crossing the river; a party of men made chase but the Indians got over, abandoned their canoe, and dashed into a canebrake and were seen no more. An aged squaw had hid herself under the river bank; some of the Beans discovered her, but did not disturb her. One Ralston, an Irishman, came upon and shot her and took her scalp. The Beans and others tormented Ralston unmercifully, calling out at the top of their voices, "Who scalped granny?" Several voices in different directions would rep]y "Ralston." Ralston found no peace the rest of the campaign, but kept at a distance of a hundred yards from the army.
Above Spring Frog Town on Coosa was Estamarla, here between the two, Robert Bean at the head of a small scouting party, captured an Indian, a squaw, and several children. The Indian had a very pretty shot gun; Bean took it from him and gave it to Col. Sevier's servant Toby. This Indian was a small fellow but full of impudence: he would on every occasion utter the bittersweet denunciations against Toby; and the war of words between him and Toby was carried on greatly to the amusement of the soldiers. On another occasion, James Sevier and a scout of three or four others came upon a camp of two squaws and several children, captured them and took them to camp.
From Estamarla, went to old Nunack town, Vann's town, back to Hiwassee, destroying all in their way. Message was sent to the Lower Towns that a treaty would be held at Chota, and the Indians, glad of an opportunity to secure peace, attended, and aided by the friendly chief Hanging Maw, Old Connestota, and the Tassel, made peace, gave up the prisoners to the number of about twenty in all, and returned home early in November. Not a man of Sevier's army was killed or wounded.
The guide, John Watts, was apparently able to lead Sevier and his men only to towns that had been abandoned after the whites' attacks three years earlier, missing the new towns entirely.
In one of the later campaigns, Sevier was thought to have been killed, and the Indians celebrated his death. In fact, the corpse was that of a Mr. Bullard, one of Sevier's men. who resembled him. Bullard and a few other corpses were buried by Sevier's men in the floor of one of the houses of an Indian town, and the house was burned to save the bodies from mutilation. The body was found, mutilated, and commemorated as if it were Sevier's.
2. Isaac Thomas was one of the first men to see the fertile French Broad Bottoms, but his choice of a homestead was the "Forks of Little Pigeon" or the site of the future Sevierville. The exact date of his settlement here is not known, but it was not long after 1780. He obtained title here in 1808 to almost 1000 acres including a large plat of the present town. Thomas operated a mill and a tavern, perhaps the Sevierville's first, and in his home, in 1784, Sevier County's Court held it's first session. His home served also as a fort to protect the settlers against the Indians.

PEEVEYHOUSE EXCURSUS
Peeveyhouse is a German name with many variant spellings. Catherine Smith, first named daughter in the Will of Edward Smith, and probably the eldest daughter, was probably born to the Smith-Stumph marriage. Catherine married John Peeveyhouse when, nor where, we have not yet learned, but likely in North Carolina.
Only recently have we learned that a group of descendants of the Peavyhouse family are working on this line. Mrs. Lois Scholtz of Garden Grove, Cal., has generously shared her findings with us.
The Pevehouse family resided in Bucks Co., Pa. in Bedminster Twp. among a group of German immigrants. The name was spelled variously Pevehouse, Pevehiser, Bevehouse, Peavyhiser, or Peevyhouse. PENNSYLVANIA RECORDS, VOL. 13, 3rd.Series, p 20]. : Daniel Peveyhiser paid taxes on .170 acres of land, 1781 John Pevehiser paid on 81 acres.
p. 218: John Pevehiser estate was taxed in 1782
p. 392, Abraham Pevehiser, single, paid 10.0 tax
Daniel and John Pevehiser paid tax in that Twp. in Bucks until. 1784. Fifth Series, Vol. 8, p399, John Pevehouse served 2 months in Penn. Militia, 8th Co., 5th Battn., June 1782 in Northampton Co.

LAND GRANTS FOR.JOHN PEVEHOUSE, from N.C. in Tennessee :
Book 4, No.877, p 747, date 17 Nov. 1790, 100 acres on the waters of the Watauga River., Bk. B, p 190, date 17 Nov. 1790 190 A. Bk. B., p 219, Land sold in 1795.
John Pevehouse was ordered by the Court in Nov. 1788 to work on the road near Doe Creek in Washington Co., Tenn.; was on tax Roll of Carter Co., Tenn. in 1798.
In 1814, Rebecca Pevehouse living on Wolf River in Overton Co., signed a bond with many others for a John York, who had been charged with murder. Although there was a record of a William Pevehouse, together with Abraham Pevehouse in 1802-1804 in Overton Co., Surveys, in 1814 there seemed to be no record of a male Pevéhouse in the area. Rebecca Pevehouse is buried in Wolf River Methodist Church Cemetery. This is the same Cemetery where Sgt. Alvin York, is interred. Further records about Rebecca or about the John York case were not to be found.
Acklen's EARLY TENNESSEE MARRIAGES is wrong in listing the marriage of Jacob Pevehouse and Rachel Kellums in Washington Co., It was found in Grainger Co., instead. In Grainger Court Minutes we find that Abraham Pevehouse received 350 A. by a N.C. land grant, #569, on south side of Powell River where the KY. road crosses. This was 12 July 1794; we know that he already had land for he was on the Hawkins Co., Tax list in 1788, then when Grainger was formed he is listed as paying tax on 500 acres.
While Abraham was living in Washington Co. he was on Jury duty in 1787, and also was appointed to oversee the road from the home of Jacob Smith to Minia Haskins, near the Virginia line on the Lower Holston. (Minutes of Court Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions, p 299, date 1787. In Nov. 1782 he attended the Estate Sale of Dreury Goodwine (this was Goodwyn, the dec'd husband of Jacob Smith's wife) Abraham bought a horse here.
While Abraham Pevehouse was living in Grainger Co., his nephew, Jacob, came to live with him, and Abraham signed the marriage bond when Jacob married in Jan. 1800 Rachel Kellums.
In 1802 Abraham sold to James Roddy 302 acres of land and does not appear on Grainger tax rolls after that date. We know that he moved to Overton Co., and lived in that section, which was later, cut off into Claiborne County. In 1812 Jacob Pevehouse sold Land to James Roddy and in 1825 he sold the balance of his land grant.
It is thought that Abraham was the brother of the John Pevehouse who married Catherine Smith, and further search is being done in the effort to prove it. John and Catherine's family may have been small, if he died during the closing days of the Revolution Jacob is the only one traced thus far. About his family we have a list of the children taken from the signed deposition of David and Preston Pevehouse who were the only living children in 1883. They were:
1. James Pevehouse, b in Term. in 1801; Mary Hodge, d/o Alexander and Ruth Hodge. They went to Texas with Austin's second Colony, settling in Ft. Bend Co.; they had 9 ch.
2. John Pevehouse, b in Ark.; 1. Martha_______, 2.Kizzine Petty. John d in Navarro Co., Tex. and Kizzine .Jesse Green, bro of Mary Green Pevehouse who had David, Jr., s/o David Pevehouse.
3. David Pevehouse, b in Ark., =1. Cynthia Ross; = 2.Malinda Pierce. They both d in Navarro Co., Tex. David had 13 ch.
4. Preston Pevehouse, b in Ark.; d in Milam Co. ,Tex.; = Serena Bell; they had 8 ch.
5. Abram Pevehouse, = but wife's name not known. 7 ch living in Limestone Co., Tex. in 1873.
6. Lucinda Pevehouse may have been = 2; reported to have = Elijah Veasey; also James Callicott. She is untraced, and descendants unknown.
7. Polly Pevehouse = Leo Roark, an Indian Fighter; had 2 ch: Mary Helen Roark, who = Robert Burns Height, and a son, Sam, Roark. They moved to Jack Co., Tex.
8. Catherine Pevehouse = James Lastley, had 2 sons: Jacob and John Lasley (Lastley) (One wonders if this is a variant spelling of the Leslie family name)?
One branch of the Tennessee family migrated west to Illinois and later to Missouri.
In Brazoria, Tex. in 1836 there was a widow with several children who wrote up her impressions of the Texas country; she was Mary Pevehouse Smith.
ODDS AND ENDS — ABOUT PEVEHOUSE FAMILIES IN TENNESSEE
In 1814 REBECCA PEVEHOUSE, on WOLF RIVER (Overton CO} signed a bond with many others for a JOHN YORK, who had been charged with Murder. Although there was a record of a William Pevehouse together with Abraham Pevehouse in 1802—1804 in Overton County Surveys, in 1814 there seemed to be no record of a PEVEHOUSE (MALE) in the area.
REBECCA PEVEHOUSE is buried in WOLF RIVEIR METHODIST CHURCH CEMETERY. This is the same cemetery where Sgt. Alvin York is interred. (It does not give any record of Rebecca's parents or her maiden name) They could not find any record of what happened to JOHN YORK either.
ACKLEN'S EARLY TENNESSEE MARRIAGES erred in the place of marriage for JACOB & RACHEL (KELLUMS) PEVEHOUSE. The record was found in Grainger Co. Courthouse, so Washington Co., was in error.
GRAINGER COUNTY COURT MINUTES.
ABRAHAM PEVEHOUSE received 350 acres, N.C. land grant no. 569 on the south side of Powell River where the Ky. road crosses on July 12, 1794. He already had some land because he was on the tax list of Hawkins in 1788, then when Grainger Co. was formed he is listed as a taxpayer for 500 acres.
While he was in Washington Co., however, he served on the Washington Co. Jury in 1787 and at that time he was also ordered to oversee the road from home of JACOB SMITH to MINIA HASKINS near the VA., line on the Lower Holston.
This information dated from COURT OF COMMON PLEAS and QUARTER SR. SESSIONS, page 299—1787. In Nov. 1782 he attended the estate sale of DRUERY GOODWINE and bought a horse, this was in Washington Co.
Back to Grainger Co. Here Abraham was a good citizen, serving on juries or surveying and laying out roads. It is now proven that JACOB went into Grainger Co., and was living with his Uncle Abraham when he married, hence the reason ABRAHAM signed the marriage bond.
Abraham sold his land in 1802 (Grainger Co) to a JAMES RODDY (302 acres of it) and does not appear on. Grainger Co. Tax rolls after that date. Since we have records of him in Overton County this is where he went. He lived in the section of Overton Co., which later became Claiborn Co... In 1812 he sold more land to JAMES RODDY (Jacob Pevehouse, did) and in 1825 he sold more land - the balance of the land grant to him.

WILLIAM HYDEN
1761-1858
1 2
Born February 14th 1761 in Stafford County, Virginia (probably
3
Overwharton Parish), William Hyden was the oldest son of Henry Hyden and Lydia
4
Hoskins.
In April or May of 1779 (just turned 18 years of age), William
volunteered for 12 months service in Capt. Thomas Mountjoy' s company of the 3rd
Virginia Militia (commanded by Col. James Garrett). He served seven months at
Rile Oak and Falmouth Stations, was honorably discharged (at Rile Oak Station) 5
in November 1779, and returned home.
In June 1780 William was drafted for a term of six months, serving
under Capt. Elijah Threlkeld in the regiment commanded by Col. James Garrett and
General Joseph Wareing. He was "marched immediately" to the falls of the
Rappahanock River, spending two months building and repairing the stone bridge
there. He was then marched to Fall Hills or france (Vance?.) Old Field, where
he was taken sick and released from service after serving only five months--
although he received credit for the full six months. He was "carried home",
where he remained for some time, and then was drafted again, serving once again
6
under Capt. Elijah Threlkeld.
William's third period of service in the Revolution lasted but one
month, during which his duties were to "guard prisoners from
Fredericksburgh...to the barracks above Winchester". He was discharged from this
service sometime in 1781 exact date unknown) with a total service of "not less 7
than 13 months" in the Revolution. He was in no battles.
It is said that William Hyden was "present" at the siege of
Yorktown, but from the date of this action (October 1781) and William's short
term of service in 1781 (one month, spent in the Fredericksburgh-to-Winchester
area), this appears doubtful. He was said by one source to have been selected
for "fatigue duty", engaged in building roads and fortifications near Yorktown.
8
No mention is made in William's pension application of his presence at Yorktown 9 10
By l782 William bad married Elizabeth Eaton, probably in Stafford
County (although it is possible that he "removed" to Washington County--in
southwestern Virginia--prior to marrying). Virtually nothing is known of
Elizabeth.
It is surmised that the Hydens of Stafford County belonged to the
Church of England, but it is not known whether William was converted to
Methodism in the Wesley Movement or whether his "conversion" may have been due
to the lack of an Episcopal church in the southwest of Virginia. Certainly, the
naming of one son Samuel Wesley Hyden gives considerable weight to the former
11
supposition.
William's move to southwestern Virginia can be dated sometime prior
12
to late 1783, when he appears on the Washington County tax list. His name
13
appears on the 1788, 1793, and 1798 tax lists for Russell County, and in 1799
14
he is listed on the Wythe County tax list. It is likely that William was living
in the same general (if not exact) location during all of this period; Russell
County was formed from Washington County in 1785, and Lee County was formed 15from Russell and Scott Counties in 1792~1793. On March 16th 1790 William Hyden was appointed "overseer of the road from the county line"--however, this has not
16
been further defined.
On October 23rd 1793, November 25th 1795, and December 5th 1798,
William Hyden (with his cousin Richard on the first two) signed "Petitions of
17
inhabitants of Wythe and Russell Counties to Form a New County".
On December 7th 1798 William Hyden and Elizabeth his wife ("of
Russell County") conveyed 100 acres "lying on the west of Morrises Knob and the
waters of the Maiden Spring Fork of Clinch River, to William Irvin for 35
18
pounds"
In 1799 William Hyden witnessed the sale (by James and Phebe
Clancy) of 121 acres "on the south side of Maiden Spring Fork, Clinch River,
adjacent to William Hyden", to Richard and Thomas Brooks. Exact location of this
19
land is unknown, but the deed was recorded in Wythe County records.
Between 1783 and 1805, William and Elizabeth had ten children:
Lydia, born July 8th 1783 (in Washington County); Jane, April 12th 1785 and
James Goff, January 27th 1787: Caty (or Katy), June 27th 1790 and Lucy, October
10th 1792 (these four in Russell County); Hiram, October 14th 1795; Lily,
September 7th 1799; William, born in November 1801; Thomas in April 1804; and
20
Elizabeth, born November 8th 1805 (the last five born in Lee County).
In 1808, William owned land in Lee County, as evidenced by an
October 11th 1808 power of attorney given( by William's cousin Richard Hyden, to
John Anglin." The land was described by Richard as "a tract my cousin William
and myself bought of John Musgrove (adjoining James Burgin's land), 400 acres,
it being the east and extending down the creek to a conditional line between me
21
and the said William". Isaac and Mary burgin had been the land's previous
owners, and had sold it to Musgrove; however, both John Musgrove and Isaac
Burgin died prior to execution of the deed, and the land became the subject of a
22
chancery suit (which was completed in 1816).
On May 24th 1809 the I.ee County Court appointed William Hyten (with
Burrell Burchet, John Anglin, and Robert Clark) to "appraise the personal estate
23
and slaves if any of A. Wilson decd".
The Lee County Tax List of March 30th 1810 indicates that William

24 25
Hyden owned one horse. On May 14th of the same year he owned three horses. In
1814 he was listed on the Lee County Land Tax List; at that time he owned an
26
unspecified number of acres located on "Wallins" Creek .
On June 28th i8i4 William Hyden, James G. Hyden, and Bamuel Sage each
27
acknowledged $500 debts to "His Excellency James Barbour Esquire, Governor. On
the same date, William and his cousin Richard recorded a complaint against
"Samuel Musgrove and Moses Musgrove heirs of John Musgrove, deceased, (and)
28
Nancy...Polly...Sally...and Isaac Burgan heirs of Isaac Burgan, deceased". (This
case was taken to court on June 27th 1816, and title to the land in question was
conveyed to William and Richard Hyden because the defendants failed to appear in
court. The land was described as 450 acres, "conveyed by Isaac Burgin and Mary
Burgin by indenture dated on the fourth day of January 1794.. .at the foot of
29
Powells Mountain" (bordering James Burgin's land).

On November 22nd 1813 William Hyden signed a petition to form a new
county; the petition was submitted by "Inhabitants of Washington, Russell, and
Lee Counties", and was instrumental in the formation of Scott County (which was
30
formed in November i815).
In 1814, William Hyden witnessed the wills of John Anglen (James Goff
31
Hyden's father-in-law) and Abner Anglen (son of John Anglin).
Elizabeth Eaton Hyden evidently died sometime between November 1805
and 1814, in Lee County. On January 18th 1815 (in Lee County), William H. Carter
issued a marriage license to William Hyten and Martha Baldwin (born 1793-95 in
32
Virginia), and Benjamin Sharp issued their marriage certificate the same date.
Martha's father was James Baldwin--born in 1752 in Ireland-who served in the 3rd
Virginia Regiment during the American Revolution. Her mother was Elizabeth
33
Ferrell, also Irish-born.
In April 1815, William was listed on the "General List of Lands"; his
property was described as "200 acres on Wal].ings Creek, 1 dwelling, 3
34
outhouses, valuation $650.
While still residing in Lee County, their first two children were
35
born: Mary Ann, November 3rd 1815, and Sarah, November 5th 18l7.
On August 27th 1816, William James G. Hydn. were defendants in a
"motion for award of execution of a forthcoming bond", filed by George Eller, in
the amount of 377.77 "with legal interest thereon from the 10th day of June 1816
36
till paid and the costs of this motion".
William made a motion before the Court on August 28th 1816, stating
that he had paid the 1796 delinquent tax on the 450 acres obtained from Isaac
37
Burgan. On September 3rd 1816 William Hyden served as a juror for the Lee County
38
Court (with Obadiah Fergason, Thomas Warren, and Abraham Lock, among others).
William and James G. Hyden appear in an unidentified Lee County record dated
39
July 22nd l8l7.
On June 6th 1812, John Hix was accused of "feloniously stealing
taking and carrying away from the tanbrough of William Hyden two sides of
40
leather and one sheep skin...of the value of six dollars and fifty cents".
On November 9th 1819 William Heyton and Martha his wife conveyed 200 acres of land to Job and Jacob Crabtree, "lying on the north side of Powell
Mountain, part of 450 acres decreed to William (and his cousin Richard) by Court
41
Order dated 27th June 1816". This transaction marked William's departure from
Lee County.
42
William and his family left Lee County before the end of 1819 ,
moving first to Blount County, Tennessee-where a son, Elias Warren Hyden, was
43
born on February 20th 1820. After staying in Blount County only "about one
44 45
year", William moved his family to Roane County, Tennessee. It was there that
his last five children were born: Samuel Wesley, December 22nd 1822; Malvina,
who was born and died in 1824; John Calvin, March 4th 1826; Jesse Albert, May
46
19th 1828; and Martha, born in 1830.
In 1830 William's family was listed in the Roane County census, and
consisted of ten children: two sons under five years of age (John and Jesse),
two 5-10 (Elias and Samuel), and one 20-30 (William; Thomas had married in
1828), as well as one daughter under five (Martha), one 5-10, two 10-15 (Mary
47
Ann and Sarah), and one 15-20 (Elizabeth). From this it appears that William may
have had another daughter, born about 1820-25.
William Hyden made application in Roane County on January 28th 1834
for a Revolutionary War pension. Character witnesses to his petition were Thomas
Stockton Esq., Amos M(?.), James and William Pursly, and one other. Witnesses
48
were William Jones and Wilding (or Welden) Keeling . The application was
approved (pursuant to provisions of the Act of June 7th 1852), effective
February 19th 1854, with payment from March 4th 1851. His pension amounted to
49
$40 per year.
In 1840 the Roane County census listed William's family, by this time
consisting of only five children: one son 10-15 (Jesse), one 15-20 (John), one
50
daughter 5-10 (Martha), one 15-20 (Sarah?.), and one 20-30 (Mary Ann?).
Sometime between 1840 and 1855 William moved to McMinn County,
Tennessee. On March 24th 1855, William Hiden appeared before the McMinn County
Justice of the Peace (Lewis --?), petitioning for bounty land under provisions
51
of the Act of March 3rd 1855. His petition was witnessed by J.A. (probably his
52
son Jesse) Hyden, T. H. John, and B. M. Johnson.
53
William Hyden died in McMinn County, Tennessee on December 24th i858,
just seven weeks before his 98th birthday. He is buried at Cedar Grove Cemetery
54
in Athens, Tennessee.
On October 3rd 1859 Martha Baldwin Hyden appeared before the Chairman
55
of the MicMinn County Court (William McKenny), to apply for a widow's pension.
A little less than four months later, on January 30th 1860, she was granted a
pension of $40 per year (under Act of February 3rd 1853), effective the date of
56
William's death.
Martha Baldwin Hyden is buried at Cedar Grove Cemetery, with William
57
and their son William Hyden Jr. It is believed that she died in i865, probably
in McMinn County, Tennessee; there are no dates on her tombstone.

This biographical sketch was compiled by Eugene Edward Hyden (P.O. Box 6338,
Honolulu, Hawaii 96818); to this date, no known relationship has been established between William Hyden and the compiler. March 1, 1978.

it is not possible to say who was in the old fort at any particular time. It is not probable that any women or children were at the "station" till after the fort had been completed. Until some months after the disastrous battle of Blue Licks, which occurred in the month of August, 1782, no spot in Kentucky was a safe place of residence for whites.

In a deposition given on June 15, 1814, by John Handley, a surveyor, who was employed in the Nolynn Valley from about the year 1780, the following query and answers appear: "State as nearly as you can the number of inhabitants of Severns Valley (the Elizabethtown station) and Nolin (Phillips' fort) in the year 1783, prior to the 16th of December in that year." Answer--"I cannot say with any probable certainty the number of inhabitants in Severns Valley and Nolin on the above date, but I believe there were a pretty good company of Military at each of those places about that time." Again he says--"I do
not suppose I could in the course of three days recollect two-thirds of their names that I had an acquaintance with (at Severns Valley and Nolin Stations). I have no doubt but there were some whose names I never knew, on Nolin." These answers would indicate that up to the latter part of the year
1783 the population of the Nolynn Station consisted principally, if not wholly, of armed men. Whether John LaRue was one of these cannot with certainty be said. For the first two years of its existence the fort on Nolynn was a place of refuge, rather than a place of residence, and its population was doubtless more or less shifting. We may reasonably suppose
that John LaRue found refuge from time to time, not only in Phillips' fort, but in other forts in the new territory, as well as in his cabin in Shelby County, before he finally settled at Nolynn. The owner, or, at least, claimant, of 40,000 acres of land in Kentucky, doubtless had occasion to be in different parts of the new country before the expiration of four years from the date of the first location of land made for him.

The date or place of the marriage of John LaRue (II.) and Mary Brooks has not been ascertained. It is more than probable that it occurred in Frederick County in the Spring or Summer of 1783. Down to about that time marriages in Virginia were under control of the Established Church, the records of which are said to have "disappeared." The first marriage book of Jefferson County begins February 16, 1784. Rebecca, the oldest child of John and Mary Brooks LaRue, was born in Frederick County on the first day of May, 1784. The mother at that time was only eighteen years old, having been born May 3, 1766, according

General Notes: !NOTE: I use this person to tie all of my line together. There is no proof that the children listed are brothers or even related.
!NOTE 2: George and Wiley at first were thought to have been children of Asa
Lorenzo Bullard. This has not been proven so I have placed them here for the
time being.
!SOURCE #1: From a genealogy by Lt. Gen. Robert L. Bullard dated 31 Aug. 1930;
on last page (noted as pg 59), note #4 he states "From the foregoing and from
writing or inquiry of many groups of Bullards scattered over the U.S. I conclude that all of the name from southern VA to Fla. and westward come of JAMES, JOHN and ROBERT who came from England to N.C. about 1760 and that all from New England to VA and westward come of the Bullards who came to Dedham and Watertown, Mass. about 1635". signed R.L.B.

I know some of this does not agree with the information that you have. The
information I have came from my great- grandmother's bible. The information
that I have is from this point on to the present.

The generation I have the most information on is the Asa (Dow) Bullard Jr.
generation, for which I have the names of each of his childrens spouses and
for the following generation, from Justin Bullard who was my great-
grandmother's father. Rosa Belle Taylor, was my great- great grandmother.

If any of this information will help you, please let me know.

Shelby and a part of his troops returned to the Long Island April 6, 1779. The others arrived a few days later. The soldiers volunteered from Va. and NC for this expedition and served without pay. A big number of horses were captured belonging to the Chickamauga and some of the soldiers rode home. Henry Massengill of Watauga served on Capt. William Edmiston's staff, Col.

HENRY HYDEN
(1735-1794?)
1 Born December 2, 1735 in Overwharton Parish, Stafford County, Virginia,
2
Henry Hyden was the son of William and Mary Hyden.
3
Henry married Lydia Hoskins about 1759-l76O, and they had six (or seven)
children: William, born February 14, 1761; Jane, born about 1763; Mary, May 12 4
(or 19th), 1765; Lydia, 1767; Sallie; and Clarkey, September 14, l77l. It is
5
possible that they had another son, Richard, born October 5, 1773.
During the Revolutionary War, Henry Hyden supplied provisions
to the Continental Army. His "claim for payment for beef impressed by the
Commissioners of Provisions under the Act for Procuring a Supply of Provisions
and Other Necessaries for the use of the Army, May 1780," was validated at a
6
meeting of the Stafford County Court on April 15, 1782.
Henry Hyden Appeared on the Stafford County Tax List on May 12, 1783: "7
white souls 1 white over 21, 1 horse, 9 cattle, and 1 'tithe for the county
7
levy'. He does not appear on the tax lists for 1784-1786.
In the March 12, 1787 Stafford County Tax List, Henry Hiden 's entry
included one white male tithable over 21, two "horses, colts, mares," and 8 9 10
cattle. On April 14, 1788, the entry was "2 horses." In the years 1789-1792,
11
Henry's tax list entry was "1 white male above 16 years, 2 horses."
On the Stafford County Tax List of December 9, 1795, Ledia Hiden had "2
12 13horses," and in 1796 Lydia Hyden had "2 horses." The 1797 tax list
14
showed Lidy Hyden ("2 horses"), and on August 15, 1798 Leady Hyden (with "2
15
horses"). From these entries, we can presume that Henry Hyden died between March 1794 and December 1795, most probably in Stafford County, Virginia.
Lydia continued to reside in Stafford County after Henry's death, and in 16
the August 1800 tax list she had "1 horse. On June6, 1801, Lidy Hyden appeared 17
for the last time in Stafford County records. It can only be assumed that she died in the early l800s, probably in Stafford County.
