Autobiographical note.5
The Great Depression- by Savonne Giddens, 5/23/1992
The Depression was when you only
had clabbered milk for supper, and you got out early in the morning to gather
lamb's quarters
for dinner. Dinner was the noon
meal- lamb's quarter is a weed. You cook it like turnip greens. Most of the
time this was eaten wtih water cornbread. Depression was when the whole family
pulled bowls cotton for 35 cents a hundred pounds of cotton. You coasted down
all hills to save gas. It was having a coal oil lamp, and buying the oil in you
own tin can, putting a potato in the spout for a stopper, cooking on an old wood
stove that was missing one leg and waas propped up with bricks. Making all the
bed sheets, shirts, and underwear for the entire family out of feed sacks.
Little boys pants out of the backs of their dad's old worn-out pants legs.
Making towels out of worn-out cotton sacks, and ironing on those old sad irons.
Boy, that was sure a good name for them.
Men wore bib overhauls to church
and ties. Woman rolled their hair on rags. Lye soap was shampoo.
And everyone has heard about out
houses and Sears-Roebuck catalogs. Syrup buckets for lunch boxes, cold
biscuits, walk three miles to school...Well, it happened. Then, after that came
stupidity. Ask me about that.

Fact: Two Little Children. TWO
LITTLE CHILDREN Sung by: Mrs. Russell Vaughan Recorded in Memphis, TN Click here to listen to the original
recording <vaughantwo1252.mp3>
(Mrs. Vaughan: “This is one of my favorites. It's kind of sad, but my
children always liked it, and I liked it too. The name of it is, 'Two Little
Children'.”) Two little children, a boy
and a girl, Sat by an old church door. The girl's little hands were as brown as
the curls That played on the dress that she wore. The boy's coat was faded, and hatless his
head, And the tears shone in each little eye. “Why don't you run home to your
Mama?” I said, And this was the maiden's reply:
“Mama's in Heaven; they took her away, Left Jim and I alone. We came
here to sleep at the close of the day, For we have no Mama nor home. “Papa got lost out at sea long ago, And we
waited all night on the shore, But he was the lifesaving captain, you know, And
he never came back anymore. “Mama got
sick; angels took her away. She's gone to that home of delight. 'The angels are
coming, my darlings,' she said, 'Perhaps they will be here tonight.' “Mama's in heaven; they took her away, Left
Jim and I alone. We came here to sleep at the close of the day, For we have no
Mama nor home.” The sexton came early to
ring the church bell, And he found them beneath the snow white. Together they
died in the cold there alone, But their souls were with Mama that night. Also found in Brown, Vol. II, #150.

Biographical note: 2003,
Greenville, TX.1 Our grandmother, whom the "Blue" Giddens'
kids called, "Ma",
was a sweet-dispositioned person.
I never heard her raise her voice.
"Ma' gave all her
grandchildren a Christmas present, even though she would be called
"low-income" nowadays. The boys got a sack of marbles, the girls,
"paper-dolls", I think. That was a good Christmas in those days.
I have since lost all my marbles,
but hope to find them all eventually.
Every once in a while I find one
in the yard, and think of my grandmother.
They say she was red-headed and
freckle-faced when she was young.
She weighed around 90 pounds when
she was married, but grew to about twice that; and so have we all.
I loved going to her house when
we lived in Sundown because she would always take time to talk to me. She was
also a blessing to me when I was a teenager, and she lived with us briefly in
Odessa.
Religion. Methodist.
FYI.4 In 1873 a post
office opened; also in the 1870s the Savoy Male and Female College began
operations and the Texas and Pacific Railway extended its tracks through the
community. By that time Savoy had twenty-five businesses, including several
cotton gins, four dry-goods stores, two steam gristmills, two hotels, and a
hardware store. On the eve of World War Iqv Savoy had some twenty-seven
businesses, including a bank and a weekly newspaper; by the end of World War
IIqv it had thirteen businesses...

Medical Notes: Parkinson's
disease
Illness. When Papa Cox was about
55 he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. This caused his right hand to
tremble, but did not progress worse than that.
FYI. Tow is on Farm Road 2241 and
the western shore of Lake Buchanan, twenty miles northeast of Llano in
northeastern Llano County. When William Tow arrived with his family in 1853, he
named the nearby area in which he settled Tow Valley. The Handbook of Texas
Online is a joint project of The General Libraries at the University of Texas
at Austin and the Texas State Historical Association.
Llano County (I-15), in Central
Texas, is bounded on the north by San Saba County, on the east by Burnet
County, on the south by Gillespie County, and on the west by Mason County.
Llano County was organized in 1856 after the Texas legislature formed the
county from the Bexar District and Gillespie County. Communities in the county
include Llano, the county seat (1990 population, 2,962), Kingsland (2,725),
Horseshoe Bay (1,222 in Llano County, partly in Burnet County), and Sunrise
Beach (497).
Occupation: : Stamford/Haskell,

Swenson Ranch or SMS as a cowboy in his earlier years, I think.

Memories of Sam COX: 2002, TX.
Papa Cox, my grandfather, was a member
of the First Baptist Church of Albany, TX, where he served as Sunday School
Superintendent. My grandmother "Beetie" Cox served as Adult Sunday
School teacher there for many years. They were strong Christians. Both of them
prayed for me personally before they died, as I'm sure they prayed for all
their grandchildren.
My best memory of Papa Cox is
hearing him pray in church. He wept when he cried out to God.
Papa and Grandmother were
share-croppers between Stamford and Haskell.
"Papa"'s dream was to
build a rescure mission in Albany, a dream he was never able to realize.

Church, Blanding, UT, 2002.
Kinship report: 2004, Greenville,
TX.1 T. S. "Papa" Cox probably heard how many Kings and

whom he could claim some kin-
Namely-
President Zachary Taylor* was his
3rd cousin twice removed,
CSA President Jefferson Davis was
the husband of his 4th cousin,
Dr. Daniel Cocke, Physician to
the Queen MAYBE his 5th great-grandfather -or- MAYBE the cousin of his 5th
great-gandfather sent out ships that claimed much of the future America for the
Queen.

granddaughter of the founder of Dallas, TX. ,John Neely Bryan; (this was the
only tidbit of information we always bragged about when we were kids)
other than we were kin to Buck
Jones (which we were not)
His 7th great-grandparents,
William Armistead and Ann (Ellis) Armistead were the grandparents of TWO United
States Presidents- the Harrisons, Benjamin and William Henry,
President William Henry Harrison
was his 4th cousin,
President Benjamin Harrison was
his 6th cousin.
Most importantly, the Coxes were
strong, enthusiastic Christians.
*Zachary Taylor was his cousin as
follows:
Thomas Samuel Cox (1883-1960) was
the grandson of Josias Hardin Sanders (1829-ca 1865) son of Abby Robbins who
married
Rev. John Sa(u)nders , a pioneer
Baptist preacher of Georgia;

Another family story says that
the Sanders brothers (James Lafayette, and Jefferson) did not want Amanda to
marry T. J., so they chased them until they came to the Colorado River and had
to turn back because the Colorado River was too high. If so, Amanda and T. J. were
nice about it, because they named their first son James Lafayette Jefferson Cox
"Uncle Jim" after Amanda's brothers.

Letter from James T. Giddens to his wife, Martha J. (Paul) Giddens
Atlanta, September 13, 1857
Dear wife, (in Athens, Clarke GA)
I received your letter this
morning and it gave me very great pleasure to hear from you and the children,
and particularly to hear that LURA was getting better.
I am well but rather
low-spirited.
BALDWIN says that he has more men
at present than he wants but that he will give me work soon. I want to go to
MACON tomorrow morning, and then I will come back to Atlanta Tuesday morning,
and if Mr. Baldwin has not given me work by that time I thought I would go west
to Nashville; and if I do not get work on that word ,I will go and see HANK
HOBBS and PETER JAMMERREE and see if I can't get some money out of them. It
won't cost me anything hardly to go out there. And while I am doing nothing, I
thought I had better go. The house is rented until Christmas. WALLACE got the
check. Mrs. CANNON had a baby ( a boy) about a month old. Mrs. CALLAHAN had one
while she was gone north, and she has been back since the middle of July. It is
a girl, I think. I'm boarding
at SMITH's now and when I got
here I found GILLON and family and THOLLIN
and family here. I shall write
this by hand and if you get it by Monday evening
and if you want to write to me
again before I go to Nashville you must mail it by Tuesday morning or if you
send it Wednesday you must send it by hand as where you mail a letter there by
morning I can't get it until the next morning
before I go to Nashville. I want
to go to Chattanooga Wednesday night and then to Nashville. Tell my FATHER not
to be mad at me, and I will try not to offend him the same way next time.
Tell MA FULLER and Mrs. WELCH
howdy for me. Kiss LU for me. Tell WILLY
that he must be a good boy. And
kiss DORA and TOBY for me. And next my love for you, dear wife. JAMES HASKELL
has gone to Rushing, LA. Mrs. PRICHARD has gone to Griffin to live. HASSY REESE
is married to a man by the name of BOOKER, a train hand on the road. Nothing
more, but remain,
Your affectionate husband,

Oct 1858, MS Canton. Whereas- by an afflicting dispensation of an Almighty
Providens, Evergreen Lodge, N-39, IOOF, has been called upon to mourn the loss
of Brother J. T. GIDDENS therfore:
Resolved- that in the death of

admiration of all who knew him, and who though....this Lodge but for a short
time period....have become one of its most useful and...members.
Resolved- that these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes of the Lodge and that the secretary be directed to
transmit a copy of the same signed by the officers of the Lodge under seal to
the family of our deceased brother, J. T. Giddens.

Facts: 2003.31 James
Thomas Giddens' descendants have found few clues for his ancestors to positively identify them.
Suffice it to say there are
several conjectures:
4. FRANCIS GIDEON Macon, Bibb
County, GA Giddenses-
Our great-grandfather wrote a
letter to his wife, Martha, in 1858 saying "Tell my father not to be mad
at me..." The only Giddens there in 1860 was a Francis Giddens. We have no
clues which one or who his father was.
James Thomas was married in Macon
in 1846 to Lucy Hobbs, his first wife by whom he had a son, WIlliam L. Giddens.
William L. Giddens, a railroad engineer,
moved to Laredo. Later on ca 1920 our Thomas Solitaire Giddens moved to
Laredo also, knowing his half-brother lived there.
The first Gideon in Bibb county
was a Francis Gideon who sold land to a Needham Mims. A Mims Gideon is found
later on in Bibb County, as is a Gideon Mims. Perhaps there is a relationship
to these two families. (I think Gene Mims is a Needham Mims descendant.)
Anyway, James Thomas wrote a
letter to his wife, Martha Paul Giddens, in Athens, Ga 1858 telling her to
"tell my father not to be mad at me". The only Giddens censused in
Athens in 1860 was a Francis Gideon b 1790. The several Francis Gideons were
also descendants of James 1711.
George Giddens 1787 also has ties
to Bibb County. His wife, Sarah Powell, had a uncle or father who moved to
Macon also. Was he a son of Francis? Was James Thomas a son of Francis? Did
James who was born in 1711 once live in Maryland?
5. Aunt Ella Mae Burnett thinks
that James Thomas' father was the George b 1787, and that they were from CT as
were the Gillons who were in-laws of James Thomas...or maybe they were
descendants of George b 1609 and Jane antrobus Lawrence.
The same note that says George
was a descendant of the John of Maryland says that they were from St. Albans,
Herefordshire, England as were George born 1609 and Jane Antrobus Giddings.
(Their descendants continue to spell their name Giddings).
1. GERMAN GIDEONS/Guithins
My grandfather, Mayes Elmer
Giddens, and father both said they were
Germans.
This does not mean they came from
Germany, but probably came from Germany or England or Ireland to Maryland, then
NC then GA. If so, they are among the Germans who fled from Europe from severe
religious persecution to Maryland, NC, or SC.
Among them were a Rev. George Adam Guithins (Giddens), pastor. These
Germans were thrifty, industrious, and Loyalists. There is a Peter Gideon line
who came to VA, but their George Gideon does not appear to be our's.
2. JAMES Giddens b 1711 Ireland d
1820 TN age 109
Many Giddens are his descendants.
It is possible we may be also; and if so, probably through his son Richard or
Roger of Jackson County, GA. My grandmother, Mrs. Mayes "Maude"
Giddens, said that a Word Giddens came to see my grandfather from time to time,
and that they were kin. Word was a grandchild of Richard Giddens who married
Margaret Word. Could the James who was born in 1711 in Ireland be of German
descent? Yes. The religious persecuted fled from one country to another.
3. George Giddens b 1787 NC of
Sparta GA and Baltimore, Maryland. was
censused in Canton, Madison, MS with Rimmers two years after James T. died.
According to the 1830 GA Hancock census, he had one son James Thomas' age, and
one daughter, Eliza's age. Our James Thomas Giddens was censused in 1850
Atlanta next door to a Rimmer. George was also in Atlanta that census. A Thomas
Giddens left Hancock county and went to Alabama. George won land in GA Jackson county in a lottery. Roger, Francis, and WIlliam Giddens lived in
Jackson County, GA, and were decendants of James 1711. The George Giddings of
Sparta, Hancock, GA was a descendant of
John Giddens of Maryland, who was a member of the House of Burgesses, a man of
no small consequence in the history of Maryland. Some of John's descendants say
he was Welsh or English.
And yes, he could have been Welsh
and English.
The Maryland Guithins (Gittins,
Gittings, Giddens) were named Basel, and Morris, and Benjamin through the
generations. No other Giddens' lines have these names.
The Morris Giddens' go back many
generations both in England and Wales. A Basel, Benjamin, and Morris Giddens
all eventually moved to GA. Basel moved on to AL, and had a James Thomas. These
lines can be traced back to the John of Maryland through Basel and Morris.
Their descendants spell the name many ways including: Guithins, Gittings,
Giddeons, Gethins, and Gathings. (Wallace Gideons of Odessa and LA was a
descendant of the Gathings. They are all the same as they are descendants of
Basel, Phillip, Morris, or John. Suffice it to say that the Maryland Giddens
are either Germans or descendants of John and the long line of Morris (Maurice)
Giddenses.

family gave permission for the Confederate soldiers to be buried in their

buried beneath. After 31 years, the wooden crosses had rotted, erasing the

Emory, the county seat and
largest town of Rains County, is at the junction of U.S. Highway 69 and State
Highway 19, at the center of the county. When Rains County was organized in
1870 Springville became the county seat, and the name was changed to Emory in
honor of Rains, who had played an important role in the authorization of the
county. BIBLIOGRAPHY: William Oscar Hebison and Ambrose Fitzgerald, Early Days

Civil War: 1861, TX.51
1861 - According to his son, Jim Cox, Israel was alive at the beginning of the
war, because he gave the family's best horses to his daughters' husbands (or
husband's-to-be) when they went off to war. I found some of these men listed on
the Wood County Gen Web site under the listings of men who'd mustered into the
CSA from Wood County.
However, Dee Flacy wrote me that
at the end of the war, Jim took his younger brother Samuel, and they
"wandered the countryside, surviving as best they could." I do not
know why this would have been, with grown siblings living nearby (if they'd
stayed in Wood County) or Elizabeth's family nearby (if they'd returned to
Tarrant County, where Dee says Israel & Elizabeth are buried). M y dad
often told me that his grandfather Jim Cox had been raised by an uncle, El
Nathan Hudgins, who was the founder of the First Methodist Church of Grapevine.
In 1870, Israel's youngest child, Samuel, is found in the census in the
household of Thomas Hudgins, one of El Nathan's sons, but Jim Cox is not found
in El Nathan's home or in Thomas' home

No I do not have much on the
Sanders, I found Martha and her family in the 1860 census, her father was
listed as J. H. Sanders 28yrs, TN and mother L. E.(Elizabeth Rushing), children
M. J. (f) 6yrs, A. T. (f) 5yr, J. M.(m) 3yrs. 1870 census, Elizabeth is now
married to a E.C. Hicks,
Children, Sanders, Martha 16,
Amanda 14, James 12, Lafayett 9, Jefferson 7,.
My thought on J. H. is he may
have died in the Civil War but have not proof, I have not been able to find any
thing on him. I do know where Elizabeth's family lived in Van Zandt Co. and a
family cemetery is. I also have found a Jefferson and Lafayett Sanders in the
1900 census in OK, I do know they lived in OK, Elizabeth is living with one of
them and is quite old, she also divorced E. C. Hicks in Rains Co. TX in the 1880's.
My dads sister Vada is still
living and is 87 yrs old and has a wonderful memory she has help me so much,
she remembers Jefferson and Lafayette coming to visit them but can't remember
where in Ok they lived their wife's or children.
I remember Martha I was about
8yrs old when she died and I remember her as a mean old woman that would not
let us come in the room where the fire place was she would chase us out with
the poker, some memory !!
I have a picture of her I will
send you and also a picture of her, James and all the kids. I will send them
separate. I will also send you the info I have on both families. It will take
me awhile to send that I have a little info that I need to add.
How are you related to the

Fact: 1863, RootsWeb.61
Moses Marion Sanders of Alcorn County, Mississippi, was a son of John Sanders
and Aby Robins and a grandson of the Reverend Moses Sanders and Mary Hamilton.
In a memoir written for his family about 1880 he stated:
"Our grandfather Moses
Sanders was born in the early part of the 18th century. His life was spent in
agriculture as a pursuit and theology as a profession being a Baptist preacher.
Our grandfather John Robins was a merchant in Virginia. John Sanders, our
father, was born in North Carolina March 2nd A.D. 1787. Our mother, Aby
Richardson Sanders, daughter of John Robins, was born in Virginia August 18th
1796."
He then talks about his brothers
and sisters and adds,
"Josiah Hardin lived in
Texas, engaged in farming and stock raising, was a brave soldier and lost his
life in defense of his country 1863."
Before John and Aby moved to
Tishomingo County, Mississippi, they lived in McNairy County, Tennessee. Josiah
Hardin married Elizabeth Rushing and they had five children, all born between
before 1862 in Texas.
For these reasons, I believe
Josiah Hardin was a son of John Sanders and Aby Robins, not James Sanders and
Sarah Sell.
Death: 1863/1861?, CSA.62
"Josiah Hardin lived in Texas, engaged in farming and stock raising, was a
brave soldier and lost his life in defense of his country 1863."

Battle of Round Mountain
On November 19, 1861, the
Confederate troops pursued the Unionist Indians to Round Mountain, but they ran
headlong into a line of resistance that was nearly twelve hundred men long; the
volley from the Creek soldiers cut down several of the unwary Confederates who
then retreated. The Creek forces, led by Creek war chiefs Billy Bowlegs, John
Chupco, Halleck Tuskenugge and Little Captain, had formed a defensive line to
protect the women, children, the elderly and the livestock of Opothle Yahola's
band. [144] Cooper reinforced his troops and again attacked the renegades with
the full force of the combined armies of the Confederacy. Drew's forces had not
yet decided commit to this action. The battle became quite heavy until darkness
fell upon the combatants, forcing both sides to break off the engagement. [145]
Cooper's force was defeated in the battle, losing nearly twenty men in the engagement;
in his inflated reports to military authorities, he reported the loyal Indians
losses to be 110 killed and wounded. [146]

Late 1863 Indian Territory
Little is known about the activities of the
two battalions prior to December, 1863. In September 1863, while stationed in
the Indian Territory, Lt. Colonel Showalter's Battalion apparently engaged
hostile Indians in north Texas....
DG' notes
If Josiah died in 1863 as said
and he was in the 4th Calvary as stated then, he did not participate in other
battles of Baird's AZ where they
..massacred a USA Negro battalion
against orders ( they were to take as many prisoners as possible but took only
a handful.
...then some of the Showalter's
men left destitute without supplies wandered in Cooke County living off the
land, and scavenging what they could. These men has to be rounded up by another
regiment.
, and 30 November 1863 the
battalion was ordered to report to Brigadier General H. E. McCullouch at
Bonham, Texas.
On December 15, 1863, the
regiment was ordered to consolidate once again in the region of San Antonio, in
response to the threat of a Union sea-borne invasion. The regiment was to serve
in a command called "The Cavalry of the West," under the command of
Colonel John Salmon Ford (popularly known as "R.I.P." Ford due to his
habit, when filling out death certificates, of adding the abbreviation
"R.I.P."...for "Rest in Peace"... after the names of those
men under his command who had "gone to meet their maker"). However,
this consolidation did not apparently happen at that time, because although
Baird's Battalion was apparently with Ford at San Antonio as of February 5,
Showalter's Battalion apparently did not join the rest of the regiment until
March 31, 1864.31

Baird's AZ Regiment did recruit
in Ellis County. A picture is attached of the AZ unit in Ellis County in 1864
along with new recruits. So, they had already been in battle in North Texas and
the Indian Territory. Josiah must have been killed before the picture if he

Josiah Hardins Sanders' brother
reported that he died in the CSA in 1863. If that be the case, then he died
before the picture was taken on previous excursions. Note the brief
descriptions of the outfit in 1863.
The FOURTH TEXAS CAVALRY
REGIMENT, ARIZONA BRIGADE was the brainchild of Spruce McCoy Baird, former
attorney general of New Mexico Territory (U.S.) and an ardent secessionist who
had accompanied the Confederate Army of New Mexico when it retreated back to
Texas. Baird began to recruit troops for the recapture of Arizona, at first
independently of the larger effort which John R. Baylor was organizing at Eagle
Lake, Texas. However, by the end of 1862 Baird had moved his recruiting efforts
to Eagle Lake, and his embryonic regiment became part of the Arizona Brigade.26
1863
The Fourth Regiment was organized
in February 1863, with Spruce Baird himself commissioned as Colonel and placed
in command of the regiment. Other field officers were Major Edward Riordan and
Lt. Colonel Daniel Showalter.27
Lt. Colonel Showalter, who would
later command the Fourth Regiment after Baird resigned in early 1864, was a
California politician and ardent Southern sympathizer who had been captured and
imprisoned by Union authorities in November 1861 while attempting to leave
California on his way to join the Confederate army in Texas. Released from his
enforced confinement at Fort Yuma after five months, Showalter made a second
attempt to defect, this time successfully. Slipping through the Mexican state
of Chihuahua, Showalter made his way to Texas, where he took a commission in
the Fourth Regiment.28
Baird's recruiting efforts were
never as successful as those of Baylor, and Baird was forced to move his
recruiting efforts yet again in early 1863. He set up headquarters near the
Pecos River, in far west Texas, and his recruiters (Josiah could have been a
recruiter) signed up draft evaders, deserters, and other riff-raff who had
drifted into the no-man's-land between Confederate Texas and Union-held New
Mexico. Naturally, the discipline and quality of the regiment suffered as a
result.29
The Fourth Regiment only took to
the field in late 1863, due to the slowness with which its ranks were filled.
The regiment was not assigned to a specific brigade or division for most of the
war, but rather was used as a sort of "mobile reserve" force, to be
moved wherever it was needed. And shortly after it took the field, it was
apparently divided into two Battalions of five companies each.
Late
1863
One of these, under Lt. Colonel
Showalter, was ordered to Fort Washita, Cherokee Nation, in the Indian
Territory (present-day Oklahoma), and the other, under Colonel Baird, was sent
to Brazoria County, on the Texas Gulf Coast.30
The J. H Sanders was under
Colonel Showalter, so he must have died when they had their battle(s) in or
near Ft. Washita in late 1863 in Indian skirmishes -or- as happened to many CSA
troops died of disease. An epidemic of measles hit Ft. Washita about then, and
many died.

"We fight for our rights". Temporarily occupied, November 1863, by
Gen. H. P. Bee. In February 1864 a strong complement arrived under Col. J. S.
(RIP) Ford. Col. Matt Nolan reported to Ford a victory over Federals under
Capt. C. Balerio 50 miles southwest on Banquete. Winning troops were under
Capt. Thomas Cater, Wm. Tate, Taylor, and A. J. Ware, plus home guard under
Capt. Santiago Richardson. (Capt. Richard King, of King Ranch, also served in
the home guard.) Col. Ford's "Cavalry of the West" included Maj.
Felix A. Von Blucher, chief of staff; capts. H. C. Merritt and J. Littleton,
commissaries; Col. Albert Walthersdorff, technician; Capt. W. G. M. Samuels,
ordnance. On March 30, 1864, the Arizona companies of Lt. Col. Daniel Showalter
reached Camp San Fernando. In April Col. Ford and Col. Santos Benavides
attacked the Federals in the Rio Grande Valley. Cols. Nolan and B. F. Fry
continued to watch over the cotton road and "keep an eye" on Corpus
Christi.

From the Bible of Mary Atlanta
Lindsey
Adam Linn Lindsey....
I am of Scotch descent. My mother
was Irish, Peggy Linn. I was born in Trigg County, KY 4/8/1831.
My father moved to Lafayett County,
MO in March of 1833. He settled in Benton County, near the county seat Warsaw
(which he named) on the Osage
River. He was elected county judge of that county in 1835. He died (on the
bench) in 1840.
Two years after his death, mother
married Dr. John Morris and moved to Newton County, MO in the year 1843.
There I was principally raised.
My mother died in Newton County, MO just ten years after my father's death.
My mother's people were of some
prominence. Her cousin, Linn Boyd, was a representative in Congress, and once
Speaker of the House.
Rev. Finis Ewing, another cousin,
was one of the founder's of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.One of his
brothers was a candidate for Governor of Missouri on the Know Nothing ticket.
Bill Lindsey, one of my cousins, is a Representative in Congress at this time.
All of the Lindseys are Democrats
and most of them are Baptists.
Both of my grandfathers were in
the Revolutionary War. Grandfather Linn was wounded at the Battle of Cowpens.
(So was his grandfather Lindsey.) I moved to Texas in the last days of 1858.
Stopped at Decatur in Wise County, 3 January 1859. Served (in the Texas
Rangers) until the War of 1862. Was at Flanangan's Ranch on the headwaters of
the Leon River when I heard Lee had surrendered.
Came home and found Mary and the
children in a destitute condition.
Going back to 1848. I was married
to Mary Wormington, October 26, 1848, and settled down on a little farm of 80
acres, went to work, and accumulated property fast until 1852. In partnership
with my brother, Felix, I engaged in the Mercantile business. Sold goods two years, quit the goods
business, and went on a gold hunt in 1855. Spent all I had, traveled four long
months. Came home a poorer and wiser man.
I am now living July 6th, 1895 in
Springtown, Texas situated on the north side of Parker County, TX on the west
fork of the great Trinity River in a belt of timber called the lower cross
timbers of Texas.

Biographical note: 1858, Camp
Verde, Kerr County, TX. The U.S. Army post of Camp Verde was established in
1855 and the town of Camp Verde followed shortly thereafter. The military post
was one of many situated to protect the Texas frontier. A post office for the
Camp Verde community opened in 1858 and is still operating as part of the Camp
Verde store. The community was subject to Indian attacks until after the Civil
War as were other small towns along the frontier. Today the Camp Verde
community consists of the Camp Verde store, the cemetery and the remains of the
military post. The town is located in Kerr County. SUBMITTED BY: Henry
Chenoweth
Camp Verde has a special
historical significance. It was the site of the U. S. Army's research into the
feasibility of using camels in the U. S. It seems that the experiment showed
that camels would not be used and the animals were released. Stories are told
of great beasts roaming thru the country frightening the residents. It seems
that some of the camels were the great beasts and when released became wild.
There may be some question concerning the truth of this but it makes a good
story. H. H Colvin
It is now a ghost town.

the Bandys desc of Fanny Lewis
say Stephen Lewis and Letha Stinnet.
These notes are true, if indeed,
this is the right Thomas Lewis!!
However, the Bandy desc of Fanny
Lewis think Letha's husband was Stephen or Steven Lewis. Fanny was adopted by
the man, Mr. Thorp, who helped start
Add-Ran College. ACU, in Abilene, now.
He was president of it.

Dear Rhea, August 27, 2001
Thanks for your note of Aug 26,
on Ellison ...
It is fun trying to sort the
Coxes of that era and area.
Here is a note I made earlier on
the Cox--Allison--Beverley connection..
No real proof, but info is
consistent.. William Cox named in will
of John Beverley 1737 as
grandson, is probably the one who died by
1783 on John's Island... This John Beverley is probably the son of
Major Robert Beverley 1641-1687
of Virginia -- and brother of
Robert Beverley, the early
Virginia historian... ..
I need to
look at the Pendleton Will Book
again. Two sons named in the will
of the William Cox wp 1821 (??)..
were John Wesley Cox and William
Bolen Cox. These two probably kin to John Cox wp 1816.
They
apparently were involved in the
estate sale of William Cannon
about 1822.
Jerry Tonroy
Dear Cox Researcher Cousins and
Beverly -- August 4, 2001
SC State Archives...
I have found the Miller links
that support the connection between the Coxes
of Big Generostee Creek with the
Coxes and Beverlys of Bertie NC. I will
try to give citations.
The Union County Historical
Foundation, Union SC published a Map
book of land grants in NW South
Carolina in 1976 reprinted 1995.
That pinpoints Cox locations..
William Cox got a grant in 1766
along the North side of the Enoree
River 400 acres, across from
Warrior's Creek. His grant was in
present day Spartanburg County --
just south of Exit 44 on I-26,
along SC Highway 49. The James Allison grant from 1769 400 acres
is just south across Enoree River
and along North side of Warrior's
Creek - in present day Laurens
County. The George Cox grant - 300
acres 1767 is about 5 miles west
above Ora and the John Cox (wife Elizabeth)
grant - 150 acres 1768 - is about
10 miles West, near
Gray Court.. William Cox later bought some of the James
Allison
grant.
Just east of the William Cox
grant in Spartanburg County is the
100 acre grant to Matthew Couch
(Crouch) and there were other Couches
in the area, plus a Samuel Cannon
grant 1765 - sons William, John,
James, Isaac. William Cannon may be son-in-law of William
Cox..
There were Bobo's in area too -
including a Hiram and a Tilman.
Laurens County Deed - Book C pages 47-48 LDS roll LR-1 SC roll C3
John Cox planter and wife Sarah
of Indian Creek sold land to
Sandford Berry - 100 acres of 400
acres granted to James Allison
22 September 1769. Wit: John Cannon, John Hall signed 28 June
1788.
Recorded 27 June 1789.
Laurens County Deed - Book F
pages 235-236 LDS roll LR-2 SC roll C4
Sandford Berry sold to Spencer
Bobo of Spartanburg County for
60 pounds sterling on 28 Nov 1794
-- 100 acres SE part of 400 acres
granted to James Allison conveyed
to William Cox by Lease and Release 4 and
5 August 1774. Since conveyed by John Cox son of William
Decd to the said
Sandford Berry by Lease and
Release bearing date of 28 and 29 June 1788.
Beginning at a beach on Enoree
Bank s62w 44.20 chains.
Thence on old line s10e 30
chains. Thence n80e 11 chains along old
line. Thence n20e 28.50 chains.
Thence n50e 11 chains on old line
to Enoree Bank. Thence to
beginning.
---- The importance of these
deeds is that they indicate that
the John Cox will proven 1816
wife Sarah -- was most likely son
of William Cox and not John and
Elizabeth Cox. -----
---- Location of Beverly Cox is
shown to be next to William Cox --
Spartanburg County Deed Book M pages 188-190 Old deed recorded
Mathew Couch and wife Fanny
(Enoree) to Beverly Cox (same) for
50 pounds SC money sold 50 acres
on a branch of the Enoree granted
June 16, 1700 (??) to Mathew
Couch in Craven County.
So it is possible and probable
that four brothers - sons of John
Cox who died by 1752 as indicated
in Granville county NC orphan
records, were in this area by
1770's. 1752 orphan process named
John - 18 Beverley - 16 George - 13 and Amey - 11 as minor
children of John Cox
deceased... William was probably
older..
The establishment of the miller
trade for William Cox and
probably his brothers is
indicated in deeds on the original
William Cox grant on Spartanburg
side of Enoree.
Sparanburg County Deed Book A
pages 104-109 November 14, 1785
Thomas Briggs son of John Briggs
miller of Enoree sold 200
acres and a grist mill to Thomas
Tod -- one tract sold by
William Cox desc to John Briggs
100 acres on north side of
Enoree - other tract was in Union
County. -- We do not
know by this if William Cox or
his survivors sold this land.
Will of James Allison - Laurens
County - proven March 9, 1789.
To son James - 150 acres where he
now lives including saw mill.
To wife Nancy - 100 acres and
grist mill. Daughter Elizabeth
not yet married. James is to use revenue from saw mill to
maintain grist mill (evidently
his mother got this) and get
his milling free.
There were plenty of mills in the
area then -- and William Cox
may have built several of them..
On Beverly Cox son of John Cox
who died in 1798 (estate sale
May 1799) Pendleton District a later deed gives some insight.
Pendleton District Deed Book J -
pages 57-58 Recorded 7 Sep 1807 -
Beverly Cox of Pendleton District
sold 150 acres left by his
father deceased as a deed of gift
30 March 1798 (or 1799?) lying
on a branch of 26 Mile Creek sold
to Harrel (Hamel) Felton 26
Oct 1802. There is a note that witness John Hodgen swore
before
a JP in Buncombe County NC on 28
August 1807 that he saw Beverly
Cox assign and deliver the deed
to Harrel Felton... (Earlier
I thought this connected Beverly
Cox to NC but it does not, just
the witness.)
This deed is not consistent with
Book E - page 201 16 Apr 1801
where the John Cox deed of gift
to his loving son Beverly is
dated 30 March 1789. The Indians still had that area in 1790
I think. Correct date of gift is probably 30 March
1798 -- and
this may explain lack of will by
John Cox wife Elizabeth. This
was probably all the land he
owned and a will was not essential.
1800 census has Elizabeth Cox
living next to or with a John Cox
in Pendleton District. John Cox
with children for wp 1816 lived
elsewhere and Mary Cox (widow of
Beverly)lived near him.

New England Mariner assault on 2
Aug 1725...
These entries seems to indicate
that John Cox Mill Wright -
probably of Bertie Precinct - was
not always welcome at William
Daniel's Tavern, which was
probably a rough honky-tonk where
sailors fought with cowboys of
the day.. or the owner ...
The assault that John Cox later
alleged on 7 September 1726
--page 318 of October 1726 Court
Minutes -- by William Hynes
labourer (in custody) may have
occurred at or near this
honky-tonk during or after happy
hour. It occurred early in
month -- maybe they had just
gotten their paychecks..
I will transcribe that later...
Enough for now --- I hope this is
of interest ...

Biography: 1860, Corinth,
Tishomingo, MS.99 History of Tishomingo County, Mississippi page 92
(Film 895939 contained a paper submitted by Adelle Sanders Francis, which was
written by Moses Marion Sanders.
“Corinth, Mississippi. July 6,
1880. It is to those in future generations that this biographical sketch is
intended to enlighten upon the immediate history of our family It is natural,
it is right, it is simply a prompting of the soul that inspires in us a love to
perpetuate the deeds of the honorable, good, and noble. Such prompts me to
enclose a link in the chain of chronology that will hand down the unstained
name of our family to the unknown ages of the futures.”
“Whilst my mind runs back along
the family pathway through the lights and shade of several generations for
nearly two hundred years I am delighted to find no dark lines recorded no
traces that lead from the roll of honor no stains or disgrace to mar the bright
heroism of the future generations of the family that will follow in our
footprints.”
“Our grandfather Moses Sanders
was born in the early part of the 18th century. His life was spent in
agriculture as a pursuit and theology as a profession being a Baptist preacher.
Our grandfather John Robins was a merchant in Virginia.”
“John Sanders our father was born
in North Carolina March 2nd A.D. 1787. Our mother Aby Richardson Sanders
daughter of John Robins was born in Virginia August 18th 1796. Father and
mother were married in North Carolina in A.D. 18 (left blank but should read
1811 in Franklin County, Georgia). They lived together nearly long enough to
celebrate their golden wedding-fifty years. Father lived the quiet life of an
independent planter having owned slaves prior to the commencement of the late
war. In the early days of his life he was a soldier being engaged in the Indian
War of A.D. 1812.”
“Alas time with his scythe has
carried many of our family to the tomb. Father and mother like many of their
children sleep in the quiet city of the dead. Father died 15 Nov A.D. 1858
Mother died 10 Apr 1866. Though they are gone yet they lived to see the greater
number of their children married and settled down in reasonable prosperity.”
“Our eldest sister Acenith
married William Muckelroy. Sister Thursialou having married A. G. Pearson whose
family is quite honorable. Our sister Jiney married Joseph Carter. Our sister
Elizabeth married Henry Derryberry. Our eldest brother Lovel Dogaus never
married. He was taken prisoner by the Federals in 1863 during the late war and
never heard from. James Monroe gave most of his time to agriculture, and
politics he was quite a prominent member of the general assembly of the State
of Arkansas in 1860. He was a brave captain in the War Between the States.
Josiah Hardin lived in Texas engaged in farming and stock raising was a brave
soldier and lost his life in defense of his country 1863. Cardinal Walsey,
lived in Tennessee. Engaged in planting was also a brave and generous solider
and officer in the late war and lost his life in service 1864. Simeon Lafayette
the youngest son was born in Miss. 31st May A. D. 1839. He is more inclined to
a mercantile and political life excels many of his fellows in many good and
chivalrous deeds one who wins at will and holds his
72
_____________________________________________________________________
friends with a strengthened
chain. During the war he was engaged for four years coming out with honors and
scars having never missed an engagement unless brought down by the casualties of
war. He married Miss Mary Pinnay Young daughter of I.P. Young of this city in
the year 1867. Is a prominent citizen of this city and has made well-merited
reputation as a political officer and acommercial tourist. This family consists
of four members self wife & two bright intelligent beautiful little girls
Mattie & Mary. Now I have given a biographical sketch of each member of the
family save one, the writer, MosesMarion Sanders."
"As a rule the family has an
inclination to morality; and religion. The writer and next to the youngest and
only son living except Fayette was born Jan A.D. 1838. During his early life he
was engaged in agriculture and attending country schools in company with his
brothers Walsey and Lafayette. He graduated in medicine in 1860 Joined the 1st
Ark infantry in Feb 1861."
"Fayette and I soldiers
together the entire war receiving three wounds each both alike held positions
as officers in our command. The writer married Miss Cynthia C. Bruton daughter
of Benjamine Bruton of this city Dec 19, 1865. We have a pleasant little family
circle with only one we miss from home. Our first is in the grave. The oldest
boy Simeon Alonzo a bright boy very sprightly and bids to be an elocutionist of
note. 2nd boy Earl Bruton quick intelligent and much inclined to refinement 3rd
boy Marcus Marion bright, joyous and happy more mischievious than ever was the
'father of his country..' 4th Edna our girl
endowed with more spirit and will
and equal mind to any of the boys. 5th Sweet Lena 'our first' is in the cold
silent tomb."

Biographical note. OTTERSON
Samuel 174? South Carolina, maj.
Historical reg. of officers of the Continental Army. By Francis Bernard Heitman.
Washington, DC, 1914. (685p.): 422
Major Otterson was wounded at the
Battle of Hanging Rock. I found this article about Hanging Rock. Regretfully,
it is from the Loyalist-
British report. DLG
Hanging Rock
After the success of the Siege of
Charlestown, the British set about to pacify the countryside. The PWAR was part
of the main British army and took quarters at Camden, where they constructed
huts for themselves meant to resist the hot weather.(78) In the latter part of
July the bulk of the regiment, along with three other corps, was advanced
towards Hanging Rock in part to "awe the disaffected," having first
stopped at Rocky Mount .(79) This last post had been attacked by a large force
of militia and partisans under the command of Thomas Sumter, who had been
repulsed by the New York Volunteers under Lt. Col. George Turnbull and some
South Carolina Loyalist Militia. On the night of 5 August 1780 the troops
continued their march, arriving at Hanging Rock in the dark of night, and
neglected sending out proper patrols.
Sumter and his force, reinforced
since his repulse at Rocky Mount, made their appearance before Hanging Rock
shortly after dawn. He launched his attack between six and seven in the
morning, directing his force agains t the newly formed North Carolina
Volunteers under Colonel Samuel Bryan, on the right flank of the camp. Bryan's
corps, being undisciplined, soon broke, leaving the right flank exposed. In
this situation Major Carden of the PWAR ordered a part of his regiment and the
Royal North Carolina Regiment to fill the gap. The slaughter was terrible.
Dozens from both regiments fell, compelling a further retreat. The line finally
centered on a three pounder field piece protected by a party of Colonel Henry
Rugeley's Regiment of Camden Militia. One hundred and sixty men of the British
Legion twice charged Sumter's line, likewise the Royal North Carolina Regiment.
Just at this critical period of the battle, forty mounted infantry of the
British Legion appeared from Rocky Mount and dismounted, deploying in extended
files to appear greater in number than they actually were. This turned the
tide. As an officer of the PWAR wrote:
"The Legion a nd Prince of
Wales's pouring in a well(96)directed fire, charged and total ly routed the
enemy, pursuing with a dreadful carnage."
The battle was over. And as a
fighting regiment, so was the Prince of Wales'.(80)
When the smoke had cleared and
the bugle horn ceased sounding, the Loyalists counted their dead. The losses
were appalling for the numbers involved. Of the estimated 181 officers and men
of the PWAR that had taken the field that day, 93 were dead, wounded or
missing. It was amongst the worst losses of any Loyalist regiment during the
war. The other corps, Bryan's excepted, suffered grievously as well. The Royal
North Carolinian s lost 50 officers and men, while the British Legion infantry
counted 35 out of about 200 officers and men as their casualties. The North
Carolina Volunteers likewise had men killed and wounded, but since they fled
the field early, they were not thought significant. No return of Sumter's
casualties was ever made. But by far, the PWAR had fought and bled the most on
that hot summer's day in South Carolina. Of the 17 sergeants that had fielded
that day, 5 were killed and another 4 were badly wounded, 3 of whom were also
taken prisoner by Sumter. Seven corporals were also amongst the wounded and
captured, a devastating blow to the non commissioned officer's corps. Six of
the eleven officers on the field were also eithe r killed or wounded.
Lieutenant Abraham Hickox and Ensign John Fowler were killed immediately.
Lieutenant Benjamin Ogden lived for fifteen hours after the battle before he
too died. The regiment was left shattered and in little shape for any more
active campaigning. To make matters worse , the Southern climate proved too
much for many of these Northern constitutions. As many as seventeen soldiers
had died of disease within that month. Ten of the officers, including the
surgeon's mate, were sick and Major Carden, who had led the regiment in battle,
was just then recovering. Twelve others were otherwise absent or on command
elsewhere, leaving the remnants of the unit with virtually no officers to do
duty.(81)
One of the Loyalists taking part
in the fighting that day was General Browne's servant, Samuel Burke. This Black
Loyalist was a native of Charlestown, South Carolina and met Governor Browne in
England in 1774. He "entered into his service" and traveled with him
to the Bahamas, being take n prisoner with the governor by Hopkins' fleet. All
the time Browne was in captivity and later raising the regiment, Burke was by
his side assisting. While in New York, he married a "free Dutch mulatto
Woman" by whom he acquired a house and garden in the city. These, however,
were soon appropriated as barracks for the troops, and his new wife was soon
turned out of doors. Undaunted, Burke, along with his wife, continued to serve
Browne, taking part in the Danbury expedition where he was "badly wounded.
" After Browne left the regiment after the Siege of Rhode Island, Burke
continued to serve with the unit, but in what capacity is not known. He was,
however, in the fighting at Hanging Rock, being so severely wounded that he was
almost given up for dead. His fighting days were over, and he would end up
destitute in England in August of 1783, seeking the help of a government he had
served for eight years.(82)
On the whole, the Battle of
Hanging Rock was a loss from which the PWAR would never recover. As a complete
unit, they had fought their last battle.

not have a Sarah the right age to be the wife of John Cox.

Biographical note: 2003, Dalton,
GA.143 Don,
I found Rutha Davis Hudgins in
your tree at Rootsweb. Since she is one of my ancestors, I thought I would pass
on the following info I found on her. This abstract of the Rev War Pension
Files, shows that she was the widow of John Hudgins and she remarried James
Murphy in 1812 after the death of John. Rutha Davis Hudgins Murphy was living
in Walker Co., GA, when she first applied for the pension in 1845. Her son
James Hudgins of Gordon Co., GA, said in his application for his father's
pension in 1853 that his mother Rutha died on 17 Nov 1847 in Habersham Co., GA.
I live in Dalton, Whitfield Co., GA, and Gordon and Walker are neighboring
counties. I descend from Rutha and John's daughter Delilah Hudgins who married
Robert Trotter.

Don,
Thanks for the response. All we know is that Mark Rushing (1809-1883)
and Martha Elizabeth (1812-1896) were the parents of John King Rushing
(1849-1918) who married our Lucinda Caroline Cox ( 18 Nov 1851- 5 Oct 1919)
daughter of T.L. Cox and Lucinda Bentley of South Carolina, via Blount Co.,
Ala., and then to Uphsur Co., Tx.
Lucinda Caroline had a 1st cousin by the name ( taken from the 1850
census, so a good possibility it could be wrong) Mahala Allred, born about 1845,
Blount Co., Ala. I just wonder if John
could have married 1st, the Allred, maybe she died and he then married the
cousin. Not unheard of, but a
possibility. I think we need to find
some marriage records, Since they are
all buried in Van Zandt co., it is quite
possible, Lucinda Caroline had a sister who moved there from Upshur co. I am going to get in touch with some of the
other Cox researchers here in Upshur Co., one of which has worked on this fa
Joyce W.
I found this tonight, have you seen this
before?

basicly, i need to know anything
and everything about the battle of cow pens. It IS for a report for my 8th
grade Social studies class and im sure you people who are regulars to this
message board get this stuff all the time and it probably bugs the heck out of
when people like me clutter up your message boards with trash like this, but i
really need some help and i would really appreciate any information that you
people out there could give me. I'll be back tomorrow to see if theres anything
thing on here yet. If you read this much later then tomorrow night at around
11:00 don't bother because it will probably be to late for me to include it in
my report.

List of Palatinate Passengers, Imported into Philadelphia in the Ship

This database contains the
original lists of German pioneers who arrived at the port of Philadelphia from
the years 1727 to 1808. These lists of early arrivals in Pennsylvania are
significant because in none of the other ports of the American colonies,
through which German settlers entered, were such lists prepared or preserved.
In Philadelphia alone did the authorities insist on the preparation of careful
and detailed lists of arrivals. About three hundred family associations,
tracking their ancestry to these pioneers, meet annually in Pennsylvania.

Pictures of Andres Guillebeau's house and tombstone in
Hickory Knob State Park
Note: 2008, Hickory Knob State
Park. The Guillebeau House is a good example of Southern eighteenth-century
pioneer construction. Built on the double pen house plan developed extensively
in the South, the house has one exterior chimney and two front entrances. The
shed roof porch across the front, originally open, has been enclosed at either
end to provide additional rooms. The walls are constructed of hand-hewn logs
with mortise and tenon joints with filling between the logs. French Huguenot
settler Andre Guillebeau (1739-1814) built this house shortly after his arrival
at New Bordeaux, an upcountry Huguenot settlement, in August 1764. He served in
the American militia under Captain Joseph Bouchilon during the American
Revolution. The house was subsequently owned by Andre's son Peter (1769-1854)
and then by Peter's son Peter (1812-1891). According to Peter's will there was
a 400-acre tract surrounding the house. The family cemetery is included in the
nominated acreage. The house was moved to Hickory Knob State Park ca. 1983.

WILLIAMS-ANTONY-PACE-MIZE.
Charlene Self Epps (Route 5, Box 727, Boone, NC 28607) submits the following
query. Butler Williams b. c1805 in SC, married in 1830, Mary “Polly” Antony in
GA. In 1860 he was in Paulding Co., GA, Household 41/41 with his wife Polly and
children Butler b. 23 Oct 1842, Cynthia 17, Henry 15, Willoughby 8, Johnson 5,
and Louisa 3. Butler Williams, Jr., m. 1st Maiden Rebecca Pace (dau. of William
W. and Harriet ? Pace). Their children were Drucilla, Alma, Catherine Eliza b.
29 July 1865, and Butler Lafayette, b. 1868. Shortly after the Civil War,
Butler and Rebecca moved to St. Clair Co., AL., and with them moved Butler's
brothers Johnson, Willoughby, and Henry, along with Rebecca's father William W.
Pace and his new wife Angeline Parks. Rebecca died in childbirth c1870 and
Butler m. 2nd Emily Mize. Butler Williams, Jr., told a daughter-in-law, that
his father was a doctor in Georgia and, incidentally, had red hair. I have not
been able as yet to confirm that he was a doctor. I have a will of Roger M.
Williams dated 14 Nov 1828, recorded 13 Jan 1837 Edgefield District, SC. He
named his wife Mary and children Sterling C. Williams, Mackerness G. Williams,
Pooly Doolittle, Butler Williams, Betsey Gardner, and Caty Morgan. He appointed
his wife Mary and sons Mackerness G. and Butler Williams as executors. Has
anyone researched this family? I hope that there is a connection with Roger and
Butler Williams, but I am not sure.

Notes for Samuel Gladney:
The ship "James &
Mary" on which Samuel Gladney was a passenger arrived at Charleston harbor
on 31 Dec 1767 from Belfast, Ireland; the "Clerk of the council"
boarded the James & Mary on 12 Jan 1768 and administered the oath to
"the poor protestants who had lately arrived in her."
During the Revolutionary War,
Samuel served with the colonists. When Cornwallis took Winnsboro in 1781 for
his headquarters and sent out raiding parties to wipe out resistance, Samuel
fought with the Militia, Col Richard Winn's Regt., Capt. Edward Martin's
Company. His war record is found in Book U-W page 243, #331, Stub, Entries to
Indents for Revolutionary Claims by A. S. Salley, Jr., Secretary to the

Gladney Cemetery is located 9 miles from Winnsboro, S.C. at the intersection of
321 & 34, which is the 321 bypass at Winnsboro, 34 West to the Lebanon
Presbyterian Church, left on 54, Jackson Creek Road (small road south to Jackson
creek). The marker is on the right side of the road on a corner of a smaller
road. Intersection of 213 is past the road. Return on 54 about 3/4 mile, on the
left a stone marker "Gladney Cemetery" by a small dirt road, left on
this dirt road and up a small hill, for 1 mile, through a gate and into a
pasture. Although the cemetery itself has been deeded to the Gladney Family
Association, by Mr. Ed Stevenson the old Gladney land surrounding it belongs to
him, he has for years taken such an interest in the cemetery. Not many families
are so fortunate. At the end of this small road, turn immediately to the right
and follow the fence line around the pasture, the cemetery on the rise of the
hill. The stone fence has been taken down, only the stone posts remain and the
wire fence is now around the cemetery. The area, it is said, is on a part of
Joseph Gladney's land (he was the first Gladney to be sheltered by the land
they loved and worked so hard for.
Turning to the left (at the
pasture) and following the fence row and across some creeks back into the
woods, is the Widow Jane's property. There is a house in Winnsboro containing
the stair case that was in Jane's house, also many houses contain some of the
boards, Ed Stevenson took some of the boards and nails to put on his barn, so
as to preserve some of the original wood from those who helped themselves to
the property. Ed said,loggers took the fence out, without permission--the
granite slabs of the fence are gone except for some of those on the right side
of the fence, laying on the ground.

Conjecture: 2006, Greenville, TX.
If John Cox, husband of Sarah Beverly, was the son of a Daniel Cox of Craven
County, there is a remote possibility that his father or grandfather was Daniel
Coxe, son of Daniel Coxe, the Physician to the Queen, and Proprietor of much
land in the colonies of New Jersey, and the Carolinas. That Daniel Coxe is said
to have lived in Craven County
at the same time.
If it was not for this
information, it would seem that William and Catherine Longfield Cox would be
the suspects.

Conversion: 1757, NC.224
Elnathan Davis had heard that one John Steward was to be baptized such a day,
by Mr. Stearns. Now this Steward being a very large man, and Stearns of small
stature, he concluded there would be some diversion if not drowning; therefore
he gathered about eight or ten of his companions in wickedness, and went to the
spot. Mr. Stearns came, and began to preach. Elnathan went to hear him, while
his companions stood at a distance. He was no sooner among the crowd that he
perceived some of the people tremble, as if in a fit of the ague; he felt and
examined them, in order to find if it were not a dissimulation; meanwhile one
man leaned on his shoulder, weeping bitterly; Elnathan, perceiving he had wet
his new white coat, pushed him off, and ran to his companions, who were sitting
on a log at a distance. When he came, one said, "Well, Elnathan, what do
you think now of these --- people ?" affixing to them a profane and
reproachful epithet. He replied, "There is a trembling and crying spirit
among them; but whether it be the Spirit of God or the devil, I don't know; if
it be the devil, the devil go with them, for I will never more venture myself
among them." He stood a while in that resolution; but the enchantment of
Stearn's voice drew him to the crowd once more. He had not been long there
before the trembling seized him also; he attempted to withdraw; but his
strength failing, and his understanding being confounded, he, with many others,
sunk to the ground. When he came to himself, he found nothing in him but dread
and anxiety, bordering on horror. He continued in this situation some days, and
then found relief by faith in Christ. Immediately he began to preach conversion
work ... Mr. Davis was born in Baltimore County, Maryland, 1735; was bread a
Seventh-day Baptist; went to Slow River, in North Carolina, in 1757; was
baptized by Shubael Stearns at Sandy Creek, and ordained by Samuel Harris, in
1764 ... (See David Benedict's, A General History of the Baptist Denomination
in America, 1813, vol. 1, pp. 367-368).
Fact: 2002, Genforum #28953.225
Apparently there were at least 3 Elnathan Davises, and at least two of them
were successful New Jersey Surveyors of the 1700s. According to Thomas Shourds
in "Fenwick's Colony," the one considered the "great
surveyor" of West Jersey (Southern NJ) was the grandson of Jonathan, and
named after Jonathan's brother. Jonathan was born on Long Island, the son of
one of 3 or more brothers who emigrated from Wales and settled in the New
England States as early as 1664. (Some brothers were not named.)
Some of the family soon
re-located to Long Island,NY, and then Jonathan and his brother Elnathan Davis
went on to Trenton, New Jersey in 1700. This Elnathan was appointed Surveyor General
of the State. Jonathan became a "conspicuous" Seventh-day Baptist
minister, to quote Shourds, amd married Elizabeth Bowen whose family was of the
Cohansey precinct. He preached occasionally in homes of the Seventh-day
Baptists who lived near Cohansey Corners. After the 7th Day Baptist Church at
Shiloh was organized, Jonathan Davis, Jr., became the first pastor.
Elnathan Davis, the "eminent
surveyor of the lower counties of West Jersey," was the son of this
Jonathan Davis, Jr.
Thomas Shourds gave much
attention in his book to Surveyors, whom he revered as mathematical geniuses.
Elnathan married Susannah Bond of Maryland, and between 1760 and 1776 they had
3 daughters and 7 sons, including yet another Elnathan.
Our Langleys named boys BOTH
Elnathan and Davis, who became Patriots in the Revolution. Then in 1796, we see
Rubin or Reuben Langley purchasing acreage from an Elnathan Davis in
"Broad Neck" of Pittsgrove Twp. So far we cannot say if this was the
renowned Surveyor (husband of Susannah) or the son. No wife's name is on the
deed. -- Dolores in DE

General Notes: Don,
Somehow you've gotten the wrong
birth year for Thomas Massie. He was born 26
Dec 1758, in New Kent Co., VA;
Died 19 Aug 1835, buried in Old Salem Cem,
Curran, Sangamon Co., IL.
This is documented:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Soldiers of the American
Revolution Buried in Illinois" - Illinois State
Genealogical Society - 1976
THOMAS MASSIE:
Born: December 26, 1759 in
Albemarle County, Virginia,
Died: August 19, 1835
Buried: Old Salem Cemetery (or
Morgan Cemetery), Curran, Sangamon County,
Illinois
Spouses:
(1) Fannie Hudson
(2) Rebecca Collyer
Service: Private: Spy: Virginia
Continental troops. He enlisted from
Albemarle County, VA.
Pension: S31235 (Va); Illinois
Pension List, Sangamon County, April 23, 1834,
age 74.
Marker: His name is on a bronze
plaque in the south mall, Old State Capitol,
Springfield, placed by
Springfield Chapters DAR and SAR, October 19, 1911.
His grave was marked by
Springfield Chapter DAR on January 12, 1973.
Thomas Massie served as a private
under Capt. Robert Adams, Col. John Lynch,
Virginia militia. He was born in
Buckingham Co., VA; Died in Sangamon Co., IL.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the DAR, he is listed as born
in Albermarle Co., VA or Buckingham Co., VA,
but neither is correct, as his
birth was recorded in New Kent Co., VA church
records.
Thomas married 1st. Frances
Hudson, born abt. 1760 in Virginia. She died 25
Jun 1802 in KY.
Frances (Hudson) Massie was the
mother of our Mary Massie. 2nd. wife, Rebecca
Collyer; Birth year not known;
She died 7 Sep 1835, in Sangamon Co., Illinois.
William had several children by
each wife, BUT Frances Hudson was the mother
of our ancestor, Mary Massie.
Mary Massie was born 14 Jun 1789,
KY; Died 16 Sep 1867/8 in Pike Co.,
Illinois.
Mary's husband, Wm. R. Freeman,
(s/o Howell Freeman of Dickson Co., TN) was
born 25 March 1786, Franklin Co.,
NORTH Carolina. He died 16 Mar 1871, not
1872.
I'm sure I gave you all this
information before, but maybe I overwhelmed you
with data. Sorry. Hope this will
help you.

Valerie Simonton
I was reading the Massie gen forum and saw where you were saying that
Thomas Massie who had a son Jesse born 1810 and a daughter Mary who Married
William R. Freeman was b 1762 and married to Lucy Davis etc..From everything I
have found you have them tied in with the wrong Thomas....
Our Thomas was born Dec. 26, 1758 and died in
Springfield, IL in 1835...Jesse and most if not all his children were born in
Kentucky..
Thomas had two wives...Frances Hudson and Rebekah Collyer.
I even have a copy of his probate
papers that I got in IL.and it mention Mary and William Freeman in it...

Joseph married Maria Majinett
a French Huguenot [3604] [MRIN: 1410] in 1750.
The child from this marriage was:
152 i. John or Jean
Bouchillon [3601]
305. Maria Majinett a French Huguenot [3604] was born in 1730 in France and
died in 1765 at age 35.
Fact.271 The Huguenots
were French Protestants who were members of the Reformed Church established in
France by John Calvin in about 1555, and who, due to religious persecution,
were forced to flee France to other countries in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries.
The Protestant Reformation began
by Martin Luther in Germany about 1517, spread rapidly in France, especially
among those having grievances against the established order of government. As
Protestantism grew and developed in France it generally abandoned the Lutheran
form, and took the shape of Calvinism. The new "Reformed religion"
practiced by many members of the French nobility and social middle-class, based
on a belief in salvation through individual faith without the need for the
intercession of a church hierarchy and on the belief in an individual's right
to interpret scriptures for themselves, placed these French Protestants in
direct theological conflict with both the Catholic Church and the King of
France in the theocratic system which prevailed at that time. Followers of this
new Protestantism were soon accused of heresy against the Catholic government
and the established religion of France, and a General Edict urging
extermination of these heretics (Huguenots) was issued in 1536. Nevertheless,
Protestantism continued to spred and grow, and about 1555 the first Huguenot
church was founded in a home in Paris based upon the teachings of John Calvin.
The number and influence of the French Reformers (Huguenots) continued to
increase after this event, leading to an escalation in hostility and conflict
between the Catholic Church/State and the Huguenots. Finally, in 1562, some
1200 Huguenots were slain at Vassey, France, thus igniting the French Wars of
Religion which would devastate France for the next thirty-five years.
The Edict of Nantes, signed by
Henry IV in April, 1598, ended the Wars of Religion, and allowed the Huguenots
some religious freedoms, including free exercise of their religion in 20
specified towns of France.
The Revocation of the Edict of
Nantes by Louis XIV in October, 1685, began anew persecution of the Huguenots,
and hundreds of thousands of Huguenots fled France to other countries. The
Promulgation of the Edict of Toleration in November, 1787, partially restored
the civil and religious rights of Huguenots in France.
Since the Huguenots of France
were in large part artisans, craftsmen, and professional people, they were
usually well-received in the countries to which they fled for refuge when
religious discrimination or overt persecution caused them to leave France. Most
of them went initially to Germany, the Netherlands, and England, although some
found their way eventually to places as remote as South Africa. Considerable
numbers of Huguenots migrated to British North America, especially to the
Carolinas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York. Their character and talents in
the arts, sciences, and industry were such that they are generally felt to have
been a substantial loss to the French society from which they had been forced
to withdraw, and a corresponding gain to the communities and nations into which
they settled. Source: National Huguenot Society:
