Elizabeth Hughes. Notes for Louisa Jane Helton: Kings History of Maries County, MO Chapter Forty-Two Helton Breeding Crismon Massey Families The very early history of the Helton family is largely tradition, handed down by word of mouth from father to son, but it makes a fairly connected narrative and likely is, in the main, accurate. This tradition is that Isaac (Daddy Ike) Helton was the oldest son of James Helton who married Campbell Crismon’s daughter; that he was born in Tennessee or North Carolina, and that he was about seven years old when he came with his father to Osage County in 1818. The family evidently came by themselves, and stayed a year or two, possibly longer, but started back to Tennessee for a reason present day people can hardly understand--they were out of salt. Furthermore, they had been out of it for almost a year. James Helton had missed the salt canoes that bore the Boone’s Lick salt output to market down the Missouri in the fall, and such as was carried out by packhorse went down the north side of the river, remote from his home. It was almost a hundred miles, overland, to The Lick, and after a winter and part of a summer without that commodity he decided to go back where supplies were more plentiful. They had made part of the return journey and had crossed the Mississippi River at St. Louis, camping for the night east of Illinoistown (East St. Louis) in the fertile American Bottom, where the oxen had been turned loose to graze and young Isaac had been set to watch them. Other campers were around, and he thought nothing of it when one of the men spoke to him, asking him his name and destination, which he told him, and answered several questions about his father. The stranger asked him to point out his father, which he did, and James Helton was soon shaking hands with his brother-in-law, Gilbert Crismon, who with his family and parents were on this road to the new country. They talked by the campfire most of the night. When both parties resumed their journey a few days later, after the cattle were rested, they all came back to Osage County together, but were careful to lay in a plentiful supply of salt in St. Louis in case they missed the canoes again. This must have been about 1823. A Peter Helton appears in a few instances in the early Osage County records, and as James Helton’s father was likely named Peter it may be that the Peter Helton listed in the North Carolina census of 1790 came here with his son--or it may have been a son

of James. James Helton and his wife seem to have had nine children who lived to maturity: Isaac, William T. (Todd), Crismon, James, Peter, Polly (twin to Todd), Jane, Betsy, and Louisa. Isaac grew to manhood in Osage County after the family’s return there, and at the mature age of seventeen was married October 2, 1828, to Elizabeth Hughes, sister of Stephen Hughes and of Ben Eads’ first wife. They made their home on the lower Maries for a number of years before moving to this county to the Monroe Krone place, now owned by Mrs. Joseph Huhman, where they lived awhile. They returned to Osage County, living there until 1864 when they came back to Maries County and settled on the Little Maries a mile or two above their former home, where they spent the remainder of their lives. The seven children born of this marriage were: Louisa J., Perry, James, Jesse, Stephen, Nancy, and Isaac C. Louisa J. Helton married William Breeden and Nancy Helton married Abraham Breeden. Their further account will be found under that name. An eighth child born of this marriage, John, lived to attain his majority, and was married to Amanda, daughter of James Tyree, but died less than a month after his marriage and was followed to the grave by his wife less than three weeks after his death. Some other children born of this marriage died in infancy. Isaac Helton’s first wife died not long after they moved to this county the second time, and a few years there after he was married to Mary Ann, daughter of David Cowan, who survived him a number of years. Eight children living to maturity were born of the second marriage: Rachel, David, Robert, Judith, Mary, Amanda, and Martin, neither of the above sets of children is given in the order of their ages. James Helton, the oldest son of Isaac, was born in Osage County in the early thirties. He first married Jeannette, sister of John Taff near Stony Point. After her death, childless, he we Amanda, daughter of John Belk. Four children were born of the second marriage, of whom Isaac died single; Henry the oldest son married Eliza Moss, and both are long since dead; their only child, Fred Helton, lives near Brinktown. John, the other son, married a Johnson and at last account lived in Garden City, Kansas; Mary married John Gardner and now or formerly lived at Iberia. After the death of his second wife James Helton married her sister, Julia Ann Belk, and shortly there after moved to Miller County a mile or two from Tuscumbia. Returning to this county he bought part of the Copeland land, four miles northwest of Vienna, and lived here a few years before returning to Miller County. He spent his last years and he and his wife both died on or near the Elzey Prairie. Of the eight children born of the last marriage Perry died while the family lived in this county, single. The other seven, all of whom are living, are: James in Jefferson City; Stephen who married a Belshe and lives near Tuscumbia; Richard, a veteran of the Spanish War and Philippine Insurrection, married a James, and lives in Miller County; Scott married a Wright in Miller County and now lives in Texas; Jennie married Bunyan

Copeland and lives in Jefferson City; Anna married a Ponder and lives in Texas; and Edward, whose wife was a Newheart, lives near Iberia. Stephen Helton, son of Isaac, married Sarah Corretta, daughter of Robert Rowden, February 13, 1867, and for many years lived on and owned the farm on Little Tavern later owned by G.P. Skaggs. Their six children were born here, and is believed that Mrs. Helton died at the Skaggs place. The family moved to Garfield County, Oklahoma, about 1893, and the survivors are now scattered over Oklahoma and Texas. The six children born to them were: Corretta J., born December 19, 1867, a graduate of the old Christian College at Weaubleau City. She taught several terms of school in this county before going to Oklahoma, where she taught and was otherwise active most of her life. She died single at the home of her brother in Canadian, Texas, March 9, 1937. The three living sons are: Judge W.L. Helton of Canadian, Texas; O.E. Helton of Woodward, Oklahoma. Two other children, Valeria A. and Robert J. Helton, are believed to have died single. Isaac C. Helton, son of Isaac, was born April2, 1837, in Osage County. He served in the Union Army during the Civil War, and my not have married until the war ended. His first wife was a Breeding (a daughter of Elijah) by whom he was the father of one child, Harriett, later wife of Ben Dake; she died in Texas County some years ago, leaving two children, whose names are not at hand. His second wife was a widow Smith, nee Cynthia Lee, who by her first marriage was the mother of one son, Charles, now of Brays Mill. They lived on the present Fred Berry place in Miller Township a number of years, afterwards moving to the south end of Pulaski County, where Mrs. Helton died something like forty years ago, her widower surviving until March 18, 1930. Of the six children born to them and living to maturity, Jerry died single, the others are: Jack of Pryer Creek, Oklahoma; Isaac of Vinita, Oklahoma; Stephen of Evening Shade, Texas County; Isabelle, now Mrs. Adams and a widow, lives in southern Pulaski County. Perry Helton, son of Isaac, married Martha J., daughter of Thomas Ready, February 4, 1872. They went to Texas not long after their marriage and lived there until Mrs. Helton’s death. Perry then returned to this part of the state, re-married, and finally resided at the Soldier’s Home in St. James until his death, his body being taken back to Texas for burial. No children were born of the second marriage; the eight of the first and living to maturity are: Chan, Clemens, Frank, Lillie, Ben, and ‘Baby’, all in Texas; Docia, wife of George Jones, and Mary, wife of Isaac Cain, live in Pulaski County. Jesse Helton, the last of Isaac Helton’s children by his first wife, married Matilda Sherrill September 22, 1870, and was the father of nine children, all living. He has been dead some ten years, and wife some five years. The children are: Moses, Oliver, Ben, George, Jesse, William, Bertie, wife of George Vaughan, Louisa, widow of Archie D. Woody and now wife of G.P. Barnhart; and Elmeda, wife of A.M. Briggs. Isaac Helton was also the father of eight children by his second marriage: Rachel, David, Robert, Charles, Judith, Mary, Amanda, and Martin. Of the eight three are yet living: David in Cole County, Robert in Oklahoma, and Martin here. David, who married Roberta, daughter of John Copeland, in 1880 and Martin, who married Nancy, daughter

of William (Black Head) Branson, February 26, 1885, are widowers. Robert’s widow survives; she was Mina Stokes, and they were married here September 9, 1894. Amanda married Asa Rowden, and her descendants will be found in the Rowden chapter. Judith Helton married Bernard Fitzpatrick, and both she and her husband have been dead for several years. Their home during their married life was at the Anderson place at the mouth of long Branch. Their ten children, all living, are: Maggie, wife of Henry Brandel; Nora, wife of Joseph Brandel; Dennis, Edward, Alice, Hannah, John Garret, Michael, and Bernard, all of this county, and Bartholomew (Battie) of Meta. Charles Helton, probably the youngest child of Isaac’s second marriage, was born June 15, 1870, and died February 10, 1925. He was married February 10, 1891, to Leona, daughter of William D. Finn, and they were the parents of one son, Charles Elmer Helton. This son married Neca Barnhart and is also dead, leaving three children, Marie, Clay, and Vergis Helton. Mrs. Charles Helton later married George Wilson. Rachel Helton married Dr. George Curtman and both are long since dead. Their four children were: Otto, Elmer, Fred, and Edward, of whom Edward lives at Ketchum, Oklahoma, Fred in Miller County, and Elmer here. The other son, Otto, married Emma Parker and is also dead, leaving six children; Wendell of Meta, Clarence of Heady, Charlsie who marred a Burd, and Anna, single, all live in St. Louis. Mary Helton, the remaining child of Isaac Helton, marred Monroe Krone, and her descendants are listed under that name. William T. (Todd) Helton, son of James Senior, was born in present Osage County August 17, 1823, and died in Maries County August 9, 1881. His wife was Julia, daughter of Nancy Washam and niece of Thomas Anderson, later wife of W.H. Vaughan. She was born in Tennessee September 7, 1827, and died on the upper Little Maries in this county August 13, 1910. They were married at the present Verhoff place below Stony Pint, then owned by Hood Vaughan, her step-father, in 1842. Todd Helton and his wife probably lived in Maries County their entire married lives, during most of which time they lived on the Little Maries, near the present Cleveland Schoolhouse. They were the parents of seven children: James Reuben, John, Richard, Polly (Mary), Nancy, Margaret, and Bettie. James R. (Rube) Helton was born in Maries County May 16, 1852, and died here November 25, 1935. He was married September 22, 1870, to Martha J., daughter of Stephen Crismon, who preceded him in death many years. Their seven children, all living in Maries County and around Dixon, are: Elbert, Stephen, Julia, Frances, Waldo, Allan, and Charles Helton. ‘Rube’ Helton was widely known for his wit and humor, and probably had a wider acquaintance than any other one member of the family. We do not have the birth and death dates of John Helton, son of Todd, nor the date of his first marriage. His first wife was Lottie Pryor, and they were the parents of five children: Small, Todd, Effie, now widow of J.M. Murphy, Oliver, and Lottie, now Mrs.

Charles Davis. All are living except Oliver, who was born June 2, 1883, and died single July 19, 1932, John Helton’s second wife was Kate Wittkop, a widow, to whom he was married June 2, 1886. Their one child, John, died in infancy. His third marriage on April 9, 1894, was to Rachel Thompson, nee Hughes, to which union four children were born: Hazel, wife of Oliver Shelton of St. Louis; Jacob of Granite City; and Julia Ann, now Mrs. Philby of Joplin. Both John and his last wife are long since dead. Richard Helton, the third son of Todd, was born January 27, 1860, and died January 18, 1925. His wife was Jane, daughter of Thomas Wiles. She was born December 9, 1860, and died January 23, 1935. Their four living children are: Monroe, Robert, Ollie, wife of Ray Jones, and Anna, wife of Pete Jones. Maud, the fifth child born to them, died in infancy. Mary (Polly) Helton, daughter of Todd, married William (Red Head) Branson, and her descendants are given under that name. Elizabeth (Bettie) Helton, daughter of Todd, married James Wiles June 3, 1877. She has been dead many years, her widower dying within the last five years. Their three children, all living, are: Lee, wife of J.E. Jones, and William C. Wiles, both of this county, and Anna, wife of A.J. (Jack) Henson of Owensville. Margaret J. (Aunt Babe) Helton, daughter of Todd, married Moses (Doc) Prewett. They lived all their lives in Pulaski County with the exception of the few years they owned and lived on a farm on the Upper Little Maries in this county. Both died in Pulaski County at an advanced age. Of the nine children born of this marriage two, M.G. (boy) and Charles are dead; both were married and left children, but their names have not been obtained. The seven living are: Nora, wife of Henry Shackleford, Minnie, wife of Andy Newberry, Iva, wife of George Newberry, Richard, Kay, and Polk, all in Pulaski County. Bugg Prewett is now, or lately was, on the West Coast. Nancy, the remaining daughter of Todd Helton, married Stephen Hughes and both she and her husband are long since dead. She was the mother of four daughters, Tennie, Amanda, Mary, and Margaret, but little is known of their descendants. Amanda married James Harp and about five years ago lived at Maplewood; Margaret married Andy Combs and left six children, Guy, Lucy, Edith, Joseph, Ralph, and Jack; Tennie married James Huckins but the names of her descendents are not at hand; Mary married and left a family, but her married name is not known. The last three daughters have been dead for some years and their descendants are scattered, but at least some of them, particularly the Combs children, are thought to be in Oklahoma. Crismon Helton, son of James Helton Senior, married Louisa Jane, daughter of Stephen Pryor. He was probably the youngest one of the James Helton children. They spent most of their married life in this county on a farm near the Little Maries now owned by George Vineyard, which he sold in his old days. It is not certain whether he and his wife died in this or Miller County. Of the eight children born to them three are yet living: Elbin in Miller County; Chan on Spring Creek in this county; and Gib for many years a

resident of this county, but now living near New Haven in Franklin County. The five who have passed away are: Louisa, Mahala, Mary, Isaac, and William Helton. Louisa married John Pryor; their one child, Nora, now wife of Edward Jones, lives at Bakersfield, Missouri, Mahala married James Pryor; she died leaving a family, but their names and present addresses have not been received; it may be that they live in the Bakersfield community also. Mary married Elijah Martin, and her children are noted under that name. William Helton married Loora, daughter of Wilson Crawford, and has been dead a number of years. He is survived by his widow, who lives at Dixon, and three children: Earl of Madison, and Mrs. William Medley of Christopher, both in Illinois; and Mary J. wife of T.F. Donahue of Brookfield, Missouri. A fourth child, William H. Helton, a World War I Veteran, was accidentally killed in Granite city May 27, 1931; he was married but had no children. Isaac, the remaining child of Crismon Helton, lived in Miller County nearly all his married life, and died there in the summer of 1937. His first wife was Mary Pankey, by whom he was the father of three children: Arch and Fred in Miller County, and Charles in St. Louis. His second wife was Mrs. Jeannette Jones, of this county, who survives. Regretfully, very few details of the married life of Elizabeth, daughter of James Helton Senior, are at hand. She was married to David Miller in present Osage (then Gasconade) County February 11, 1827, by William Bumpass, Justice of the Peace, which would indicate that they likely lived on the lower Gasconade River. David Miller was a Pennsylvania German, evidently not more than one generation away from Europe, as he spoke with a decided German accent. When a little excited--which was fairly often--he was hard to understand at all. Not more than ten years after their marriage they were living on the upper Big Maries in this county on land now owned by Dr. A.J. Crider of Dixon, which they owned and occupied for many years. In fact, Mrs. Miller may have been the first member of the Helton family to live in that part of the country. The place was soon well known and seems to have been a crossroads for the travel of that day, since at least three early day state roads are described as ‘passing by David Miller’s’ to different places. Most of their children were born there, and it was not until their advancing years made it a burden that they disposed of the land and made their home among their children in their declining years. Mrs. Miller did not long survive the move from the old home; her widower lived a number of years longer, passing away in his sleep at the home of his daughter Malinda, then wife of Davis Copeland. The best available information is that ten children were born to them, but with the exception of one or two their descendants are only known in part. Their five sons were: Samuel, Isaac, David, George, and William Miller, and with the possible exception of William all of them were in the Confederate Army; George died single from the effects of measles contracted in an army camp. David married in north Missouri, was captured in battle and died in Alton Prison; the family has no knowledge of any descendants he may have left. Samuel, Isaac, and William (the last then single) went to Texas soon after the Civil War where they spent the remainder of their lives and where

any descendants now live. Samuel married Sohpia, daughter of William R. Spoon; Isaac was also married when they left here, but his wife’s maiden name is not known. The five daughters of David and Elizabeth Miller are: Polly, Julia, Rebecca, Malinda, and Lucinda. Of these, no further record of Julia has been found, and it may be that she died single; Rebecca married ‘Little Jim’ Helton, and her descendants will be found elsewhere in this chapter. Polly married Willis Robertson, who also served in the Confederate Army. They also moved away right after the war, and may have gone to Texas with her brothers. Malinda first married a man named Wilson and was the mother of two daughters, Lucinda and Sarah Ann, both of whom died single. Her second husband was Davis Copeland and their son, Samuel, moved away with them. His offspring are cited in the Copeland chapter. Lucinda Miller, the remaining daughter, married James ‘White River’ Breeding. So many records of the Breeding family have been destroyed by fire and other wise that very few details remain. The records show that John Breeding entered land in the northwestern part of present Franklin County, close to but not on the Missouri River, in 1818. Not many years afterwards Elijah Breeding, relationship to John unknown, appeared in present Osage County, and thereafter made it his home. He owned land in this county along the Maries--Osage County line, but never lived here. Tradition has it that Elijah Breeding was married three times and was the father of seven children, of whom James and Elizabeth, who married a Richardson, were the children of the first marriage. The maiden names of his first two wives are unknown; third wife was Patsy Roark, who survived his death in 1874 for many years. The children were Calvin and Lucinda, who married John Martin. The children of the second wife were: William, Martha, who married Elijah Groves, and Harriet, married name unknown, whose daughter married a Helton. Calvin Breeding’s offspring are listed in the Barnett section of the chapter on Early Physicians, and that of Lucinda in the Martin and Cowan chapter. William Breeding died more than sixty years ago, leaving six children: America, Margaret, Louisa, Isaac, Calvin, and James, but nothing is now known here of their residence, marital status, or issue. Katherine Breeding, who married Elijah Groves, moved to Miller County more than seventy-five years ago, where they spent the remainder of their lives and both died in the Iberia vicinity. Their three living children are: William R. of Woodward, Oklahoma; Isaac of Hancock; and Mrs. W.M. Scoter of Iberia; a fourth child, James H., born in Osage County November 30, 1854, died single in Miller County October 4, 1936. As stated above no dates have been preserved as to the James Breeding family. He was born not less than one hundred twenty-five years ago, probably in this state, but if not here, then in Tennessee. His first wife was Lucinda, daughter of David Miller, and they spent their entire married lives in this county. His second wife was a widow Null, nee Scott, and after this marriage they lived awhile in Shannon County and other sections of south Missouri, finally returning to this county where both died.

James Breeeding was the father of eleven children living to maturity by his first marriage, and three by the last. The first children, not in their age order, were: Mary Ann, Julia Ann, Malinda Ann, Elizabeth, Lucy Ann, Josephine, Frank, David, Calvin, Elijah, and Christine. Of these Malinda, widow of Martin Copeland, lives at Eldon, and Lucy, wife of Lewis Lambeth, in Laclede County; the others have passed away. Elizabeth and Mary Ann Breeding were the first and second wives of Frank Benton, the marriage of the latter occurring November 23, 1872. Frona, the only child born to Elizabeth, died single, as did Alice, one of the six children born to Mary Ann. Gertrude, who married a Renswald, is also dead leaving two children, Bernice and Dorothy, both of Jefferson City, both single. Margaret Benton, the oldest child of the second marriage, has been out of touch with relatives for many years, and may also be dead. Her married name was Stringer, and at last account she lived in Denver and was the mother of two children, a son and daughter. The three living children are Isom at Jefferson City, Mrs. Rosella Schotte at Pekin, Illinois, and Mrs. Emma Surface in St. Louis, Frank Benton, the father, died a number of years ago. Julia Ann Breeding was the second wife of Samuel Groves. This couple spent their entire married lives in this county, mostly in the southwestern part, and both died there, as did three of the eight children born to them. The living children are: Bertie, wife of William Dodds of Dixon; James O., Claude, and Sallie, wife of Thomas Kimrey, all of Texas County; and Cora, wife of W.T. Rollins of this county. David and Jeff Groves are dead; the former left no children, the latter left three boys and two girls, all in Texas County. Laura Groves, the remaining child, has been dead several years. She married Lytle Roberson, under which name her family is described. Josephine Breeding married John Crum, which see. Frank Breeding married Anna, daughter of Harris Wakefield and has been dead a number of years, his wife surviving until about three years ago. Their four children are: Elmer, Mabel, wife of Harry Stratman, and Lena, single, all of Jefferson City, and Opal, also single, of St. Louis. The Frank Breeding place was just over the line in Osage County. David Breeding spent most of his adult life along the Little Tavern, where he married and died. His wife was Margaret Dodds, now wife of Ray Brumble, and he is also survived by their one child, now the wife of Arthur Wilson. Calvin Breeding, who was born in 1858, died in April, 1932, aged sixty-four years, having been preceded in death May 30, 1918, by his wife, the former Sally Johnson. One son, Raymond, died in infancy; the other eight, all yet living, are: Esther, wife of Henry Radmacher, Stella, wife of Louis Radmacher, and Philbert Breeding, all in California; Reginald, Hattie, wife of Joe DeWall, and Margie, wife of Joe McKinney, in St. Louis; Frank at Belle; Newton in East St. Louis; and Pansy, wife of Fred Wicks, in Chicago. Christine Breeding married Rudolph Bruder, and both he and his wife are dead after

spending their entire married lives just over in Osage county from Maries. The three children born to them who lived to maturity are: Mamie, wife of Mack Owens, and Polly, wife of Gordon Davis, of East St. Louis, and Frances, wife of Sam Jones of Granite City; another daughter, Orleana, died an infant. Elijah Breeding, the remaining child of the first marriage, died a number of years ago near Summersville, where he had lived most o his married life. His wife was Eliza Elkins, who survives in Texas County. They had five children: Martin of Summersville, and James, Calvin, Wright, and Della, now Mrs. Stringer, all of San Dinas, California. James Breeding’s second wife was a widow Null (widow of Felix) whom he also survived. The three children born of the second marriage, all yet living so far as known, are George in St. Louis, Charles in New York, and Sallie, wife of Louis Martin, in this county. We have little data as to James Helton, son of James Senior. He reached manhood, married, and was a widower, at the time of the California gold rush, in which he joined and in which he was successful above the average, returning home with something like two thousand dollars in gold dust and nuggets. He spent the remainder of his life in Maries and Osage counties. His first wife was Bursetta, daughter of Cat Vaughan, to whom he was married October 10, 1833, and by whom he was the father of one child, Lydia, later wife of W.S. Eads (which see). His second wife was a Breeden, first name not now recalled, but a sister of John and Abe, by whom he was the father of seven children, Priscilla, William, Peter, James, Martha, Judith, and Susan. Their age order is not known, but Susan is believed to have the oldest. She was born in 1834, married David C. Smith, and died September 12, 1869; there is no record of any children having been born to them. William Helton, son of James Junior, married Diana Ramsey, daughter of Robert. She was born April 12, 1853, and died January 19, 1889. The two children born of this marriage, Robert and James, are still living, the former in this county and the latter in Kennett, Missouri. William Helton evidently died early in life, for after his death his widow married ‘Snurl’ Simpson, by whom she was the mother of one daughter, Etta, who married about Joplin, and so far as is known still lives there. Peter Helton died in the Confederate Army in Little Rock during the Civil War, single; James married David Miller’s daughter; Martha married Wash Gibson; and Judith married, first, George Scott, and second Rufus Adams; their descendants are elsewhere noted. Priscilla Helton, who was born in 1857 and died in 1932, married Henry Belk, who was born in 1844 and died in 1928. They spent almost their entire married life in Miller County, where four of their children, Mary, wife of W.T. Hensley, Josie, Peter, and Edward, all single, yet live. Miller Belk lives in Maplewood, Dessie, wife of Elmer Prater, in St. Louis, James in Pulaski County, and Richard in St. Clair County. Charles

and Bertie are dead, the former dying single; the latter, wife of William Kellison, is survived by five children, Edith, wife of David Belk, and William Junior of St. Louis, Fernand of DeSoto, Josie, wife of William Geromini of Chariton County, and Lillie, wife of Lester Armer of Vienna. Polly Helton, twin to Todd, married John Hughes, and her sister, Jane, married Stephen Hughes; such facts as have been gathered concerning their issue will be found in the Hughes chapter. We have nothing in the way of details as the life of Peter Helton, except that he married Emeline Anderson in Osage County September 30, 1834. All his present day descendants live in the west and southwest, mostly in Texas, and it may be that Peter Helton and his family went there with the Millers. Louisa Helton married William Anderson, half brother to Thomas, and was the mother of two children, James and ‘Bunch’. The latter married here and her account will be found elsewhere. James married a Hedrick and was the father of two children, Julia (married name not at hand) a teacher in the Muskogee, Oklahoma, schools, and William Anderson, who died single. The foregoing completes the list of nine children certainly known to have been born to James Helton. One other woman of that name, Judah, was married in Osage County July 9, 1837, to Daniel Boone, but absolutely nothing more is known about her. She was more than likely a sister of the nine listed above, and if she did not die in early life probably went with the other Boones to western Missouri a great many years ago. Many years after our branch of the Helton family came to Missouri still another branch, leader unknown, broke away from the parent hive in the North Carolina mountains and came west, settling on the Tennessee River near the Kentucky line and not far from the later Shiloh Battlefield. Descendants of this branch settled in Arkansas and southwest Missouri, around Neosho. They are distantly related to our family, but in an unknown manner. One hundred fifty years ago George Crisman was the only man of that name listed in the North Carolina Census; there were several Christmans but no Crismon. George Crisman lived in what was then Orange County, which is in the north central part of the state, an elevated section from which the waters drain north, south, and east. Peter Helton, who is also the lone representative of that name, lived in the same county. Thirty years or so afterward both families appeared in Missouri, and from the fact that there was only one family of each name in North Carolina, it is a reasonably safe guess that George Crisman was the father of Campbell Crismon, and that Peter Helton was the father of James Helton, who were the ancestors of our families, James Helton as well as Isaac, Stephen, and Campbell Crismon (then spelled Christman) appear on the Gasconade County tax list of 1828. It is not known how much before that time they came to this state, and the spelling of the name may have been the Assessor’s notion of it, instead of the way they spelled it themselves. James Helton’s wife was a daughter of

Campbell Crismon. Campbell Crismon’s wife was a half-blood Cherokee, her father living with the tribe after his marriage to her mother, and taking part in tribal life. It is a tradition in the family that when Campbell Crismon’s wife was a young girl she witnessed the torture of a young Creek Indian captured by her people in one of their tribal wars. Though burned to death at the stake, the victim, true to Indian ethics, did his best to conceal his suffering, and succeeded in so far as his features were concerned, but in spite of his best efforts his hands twisted as the fire licked into his flesh. The incident made a deep impression on the young girl, and is said to be the forerunner of the twisted hands of some members of the family in every generation since. Her name is not known, but it has been given to the writer as--in sound--very closely resembling ‘Wannah’. Both she and her husband are buried at the Henry Volmert place on the Big Maries some two miles from Vienna, having come there in their old days to live with their son, Gilbert. (It is nothing more than fair to say that in the course of a casual conversation with a physician I mentioned the legend of the twisted hands and how they came about. In reply to his questions told him as much as I had heard about it. He said it was a scientific impossibility for such a cause to have such an effect. I later repeated the story to other members of the medical profession, and received the same reply. I also made inquiry of a number of ladies who have helped usher many babies into the world, possibly as many as the doctors, and they were equally unanimous that such a thing could--and frequently did-occur. Take you choice.) Campbell Crismon may have had other children besides his son Gilbert and the wife of James Helton, but if he did, their names have not been ascertained, and none except these two had any connection with Maries county affairs. Gilbert Crismon was married long before he ever came to this state, and the maiden name of his wife is not know. He settled on the Big Maries on the place now owned by Herman Volmert about 1831, and spent the rest of his life there, dying sometime in the late forties. Both his parents died there also and are buried on the place, also. Gilbert Crismon was the father of thirteen children living to maturity: John, Isaac, Arch, Pleasant, Moses, Stephen, James, Betsey, Sallie, Sarah, William Senior, Mahala, and Polly. Of these, Arch, Pleasant, Moses, Stephen, and Polly, who first married George Capehart and later a man named Joyce, moved to Oregon about 1852. The whole wagon train was poisoned with alkali water at or near present Scott’s Bluff, Nebraska, and Moses and Stephen died from the effects of it and were buried on the trail, along with the wife of Isaac and other members of the party. Arch, Pleasant, and Polly survived the misfortune and finished the journey. They made their homes in the west for the remainder of their lives and have descendants there now, but we have no details concerning them. It is not known whether or not Moses or Stephen were married. Sarah married Reuben Branson, and the part of her descendents affecting Maries County will be found under that name. Campbell Crismon must have been an old man and his son, Gilbert, at least

approaching middle age when they came to this country, for Gilbert’s son John, possibly his oldest child, was married in present Osage County December 5, 1833, to Flavilla Melcena, daughter of Reverend Joseph Brashears, by William Brown, Justice of the Peace. They lived and died in present Maries County, near the mouth of Fly Creek, where their nine children were born. Of these nine, Amanda married William Hood Vaughan, and Mary married Hood Vaughan’s son, John; their descendants will be found under that name. The others were: Gilbert Junior, Hugh, Joseph, Mark, William W. Junior, Myra, and Nancy Crismon. Gilbert Crismon Junior married Nancy Jones and moved to California; no record of his family has been found. Hugh Crismon married Ann, daughter of John Hardin Rowden. Their five children were: John Lewis, who died in Denver, Colorado; James, who married Cora Daniels and died in southern California; Addie, Mrs. Andrews of Los Angeles; Dedrick of Ceres, California; and Mellie, whose married name is unknown. Joseph Crismon, the best known of this family, was born April 24, 1843, and died October 15, 1936. He served the duration of the Civil War in Company M, Third Missouri Volunteer Cavalry, and on November 30, 1866, married Caroline, daughter of Andrew Lawson. They spent most of their married lives in Maries and Miller Counties, moving to Meta late in life, where both died. Their four living children are: Sadie, wife of George Wilson, Keystone, Oklahoma; Millie and Nan, both single, of Meta, and Fred P. whose wife is Sarah, daughter of Taylor Shelton in Cole County. Mark Crismon married Nancy, daughter of Major Samuel Woods, and has been dead for some years, his widow surviving until November 1937. Of the two children born to them Stanley married Ora Dake and died in Miller County some years ago; and Clergy who married Daisy, daughter of George Wilson, lives on the Little Maries in this County. William W. Crismon Junior was the father of one son, Jasper, by his first wife. This son was last heard of in Jasper County many years ago, and relatives here are no longer in touch with him. William W.’s second wife was Nancy Basham, and six additional children were born of this marriage: Alonzo, who was married, was killed in the railroad yards at Denison, Texas; Basheba, Geneva, and Belle all are married and live in St. Louis, but their married names are not known; Frank died single; John went west and relatives have lost track of him. Myra Crismon married George Wiles and died leaving two children, John and Lou. John lives in Cole County. Lou married to Stephen Crismon December 9, 1894 and died leaving one son, Fred, now living in this county. Stephen Crismon was born October 4, 1864, and died August 9, 1897. Nancy Crismon, the remaining child of John Crismon, was twice married, first to Archelaus A. Whitaker and second to James Arendall. Her ten children were all born of the first marriage. Of these ten, two are dead; Joseph died single, and Mildred, wife of

William Leasman, died leaving three children: Frank and Robert, of Vienna, and Ray of Monroe City. The eight living are: Josie, wife of Dave Woody of Iberia; Monroe of St. Louis; Benton of Iberia; Anna, single, of Chicago; Emma, wife of Gordon Lawson, of Miller County; Forest, single, of Iberia; Hardin of Rolla; and Walter of Dixon. Isaac (Oregon Ike), also known as ‘Blind Ike’ Crismon, son of Gilbert, married a Miller. He went to Oregon with the Crismon wagon train, and his wife died in Nebraska from drinking alkali water. This happened somewhere near Scott’s Bluff, on the Platte River. Her body, together with those of several others who died at the same time, was buried in a wagon box ahead of the train and the wheels passed over the grave several times to destroy all trace of it, after which they resumed their journey to Oregon. Their two children, Mary and Zilphia, survived the trip and later married in Oregon and raised families there, but no particulars of their families are known. Isaac Crismon later returned to Missouri, and was married to Louisiana K., widow of Richard Woods, nee Murphy, and was the father of two more daughters, Martha and another Mary. Martha, single, survives and lives near Dixon; Mary married Richard W. Vaughan, and her descendants will be found listed under that name. Isaac Crismon went entirely blind in his old days, dying January 25, 1875. His widow was later the third wife of Hood Vaughan, and survived him. James Crismon, among the youngest of Gilbert Crismon’s children, was born in Osage County August 10, 1825, and moved with his father to present Maries County when about six years old. He spent the balance of his life here, where he died December 16, 1895. Most of his adult life was spent on the twelve hundred acre farm on the Big Maries near Brinktown, still called the Jim Crismon place but now divided into seven or eight farms. His wife was Frances, daughter of Benjamin Eads, who was born May 28, 1825, also in Osage County. She died here April 2, 1894. His second marriage, which was to a widow Shelton, occurred only shortly before his death. The eleven children, all born of the first marriage and all long since dead, were: Jesse H., James Munro, Benjamin F., Gilbert O., Robert E., Louisa J., Nancy, Margaret, Malinda, Matilda, and Mary. Jesse H. Crismon, the oldest child, was born December 23, 1843, and died February 9, 1917. Almost all his adult life was spent in and near Vienna, the latter part of it as a merchant. Prior to this time he had been in the mercantile business at Dixon and had served as County Judge in this county. His wife was Margaret L., daughter of John Elsey, who was born June 4, 1844, and died May 26, 1917. Their three children yet living are: Ernest E., of Allentown; Launa, widow of James Franklin, of Marshall; and Orleane, wife of T.S. McGee of Vienna. The two children who have passed away were Dora A. Crismon Hutchison and Mary A. Crismon Snodgrass. Dora A., born December 8, 1864, married M.L. Hutchison and survived her husband some years, passing away on July 13, 1923. Their two children are E.C. Hutchison, present Collector of this county, and Leslie B. Junior of Poland, Ohio. Mary A. Crismon, the remaining child, of this marriage, was born February 4, 1867, married G. W.

Snodgrass October 3, 1884, and died January 21, 1920. She was the mother of three children, of whom two, Jesse L., a merchant, and Winton, present Probate Judge, live in Vienna. The daughter, Elsie, born July 8, 1885, died in May, 1937, in Oklahoma; Mary Louise, the only child of her marriage to Joseph Thomas, lives in Vienna. James Munro Crismon, born August 20, 1855, was married October 2, 1873, to Bathsheba P. Elkins. They owned and lived on the place now owned by Casper Kaiser until his death October 17, 1878, his wife having died two days before. They were childless. Benjamin F. Crismon, born July 29, 1860, was married August 13, 1879, to Amanda, daughter of John Taff. They lived most of their married life on the farm now owned by Mrs. George Butcher, where he died in December, 1916, his widow surviving until July 31, 1917. The one child of this marriage, Clorah, married Charles N. Cooper and has been dead a number of years, survived by her widower, a son who died single after his mother, and a daughter, Clorah Pearl, wife of Ewell Dake, now living at Belle. Gilbert O. Crismon was born October 10, 1862. He married Launa Juergens and lived for many years along the upper Big Maries. He afterwards moved to Dixon where he died January 26, 1938, and where his widow yet lives. The eight children born of this marriage, all yet living so far as known, are: Pauline, wife of Jesse Creech and Lottie, wife of Sam Logan, of Springfield; Launa, wife of Henry Bauer of Rolla; Malinda, who married a Walls in St. Louis; and Millie, James, Leonard, and Gilbert, whose addresses are not at hand. They live in Granite City. Robert E. Crismon was married three times. His first wife was Josie, daughter of William Shelton, by whom he was the father of one son, Robert, now in Texas. His second marriage to Josie, daughter of James Meltabarger, was childless. His third was to Clorah, daughter of M.S. Graham. The three living children of the last marriage are: James Gordon Crismon of Vista, California; Gertie whose married name is Strickland, and who lives some place in Texas; and Edna of Granite City whose married name is not known to relatives here. In addition, two children, Monroe and Minnie, are dead. The former left no children. Minnie married a Prewett and left children who live in Pulaski County. Louisa J. Crismon, who was born January 10, 1845, died single April 23, 1863. Nancy J. Crismon, born November 22, 1857, married W.C. Cole and died August 18, 1878, survived by one daughter, Ida, now the widow of Jerry Hancock. She lives in Pulaski County. Mary Crismon’s birth and death dates have not been received. She was married March 15, 1879, to Joseph Richmond who died early in their married life, she surviving him by many years. They were the parents of three children, Isaac and James of Pulaski County, and Emma, wife of Dorsey Means of this county.

Margaret Crismon was first married to Duncan M. Lowder of December 7, 1869, and the one child born of this marriage, Josie, later married Milford Duncan. Her second husband was William G. Branson, under which name her descendants are listed. Margaret ( this should be Malinda, just a typo on Mr. Kings part, I think) Crismon married James K.P. Ramsey, and Matilda Crismon was the second wife of James Meltabarger; their issue is given under their married names. Sallie (Cumile) Crismon, daughter of Gilbert, married Flem Thompson, and very little record of their family has been preserved. They lived in the St. Elizabeth neighborhood in Miller County, and she seems to have survived her husband many years, as all the old residents recall her as a widow. The three children born of their marriage were: James, Young, and Martha Thompson, the latter marrying Shelby Martin. Both the boys went to Texas, married, and died there, and no connection with them remains. The girl and her husband may have gone there also, as there is no record of any of their descendants here. (This Flem Thompson was the uncle of Flem J. Thompson who was known to many of the older residents of Boone Township, and who afterwards moved to south Missouri). Gilbert Crismon, son of William W. Senior, was born January 14, 1840, and died March 31, 1917. He married Myra, daughter of Benjamin Eads. who was born February 11, 1925. The family moved to the upper Roubidoux many years ago and made that section their home thereafter, as do three of their eight children, Ben and Jeff at Plato, and Dow at Cookville. The other five, all yet living so far as known, Augusta, wife of Charles Roberds of this county; Elise, wife of Joseph Williams of near Devil’s Elbow in Pulaski County; Mary, wife of Henry Patrick, near Webb City; and Monroe of Tacoma, Washington. William W., son of William W. Crismon Senior, married Eliza, daughter of James and Lydia Marrow, nee Powers. They lived in this county a number of years, and still later near Dixon in Pulaski County. After some years residence there they moved to northeastern Arkansas where both parents died, the wife not many years ago. Their children included Austin, Wayne, Rufus, William, Edward, ‘Doc’, Louisa, and May, and possibly others. All moved to Arkansas with their parents and are thought to still live in that state not far from Current River. William W. Crismon Senior, son of Gilbert, died in this county at an advanced age on December 18, 1876, so he must have been born around 1800, or even earlier. He was married in present Osage County January 8, 1824, to Margaret Whrattles, by Joseph M. Morrow, Justice of the Peace in what was then Gasconade County. His wife was onefourth Indian, so the Indian strain is slightly greater in his descendants than in the rest of the Crismon family. All the family seem to have come to this county together in the early eighteen thirties and thereafter made it their home, that of William W. being up the branch east of the former Tavern post office. The nine children born of this marriage and living to maturity were: Isaac, Stephen, Gilbert, William W. Junior, Gabriel, Eliza, Rachel, Judith, and Mary.

In common with all the other sons of William W. Crismon, his son Isaac A. enlisted in the Confederate Army at the beginning of the Civil War, and served most of it. He was unfortunate enough to have an arm shoot off while in Alton Prison after his capture, in the course of a prison break in which he was taking no part. Hence his name of ‘OneArmed Ike’. His first wife was Susan, daughter of Asa Rowden. They lived their entire married lives in Maries county and both died here. They were the parents of eight children living to maturity: Carroll W. Crismon, born in 1845, died single August 3, 1925. W.A. (Asa) Crismon, married Eliza J. Wilson February 15, 1875, and died childless May 19, 1936. Rufus O. Crismon, married Margaret Emeline Gibson June 6, 1875. His three children, all living, are: Hosea and Stella, wife of W.W. Humphrey of this county, and Elsie, wife of Ted Morrow of Kirkwood. Mary Crismon, the oldest daughter, born April 6, 1848, was married October 15, 1866, to Louis Kellison, and died early in life. She left two children, one of whom, John, lives in New Mexico; the daughter, Lillie, married a man named Lane and died near Jenks, Oklahoma, leaving a family, but their present names and addresses are not known. Margaret Ann Crismon was born July 12, 1849, and died January 20, 1877. She was the second wife of William Clayton, and left three children, of whom the daughter, Charlsie, was the first wife of Judge George Martin, and died childless; Ray, a son, married Eva Hensley and died in Laclede County November 4, 1934; his widow and children all live in that county. George Clayton, the third child, lives in this county. Matilda C. Crismon, born April 20, 1851, married William Laughlin Sherrill, and died June 10, 1874. Of her three children her oldest child, Mildred, married, first, Emmett Bumpass, and, second, George C. Lawson, and is now dead. Her two children living to maturity are: Maud, wife of Leonard Veasman of Pulaski County, and Eunice, wife of Emmett Drake of St. Louis. Juna, the other daughter, married Dave Lair and died in Colorado, and her only son was killed their by a horse before reaching his majority. George Sherrill, the surviving son, lives west of Arlington on Highway 66 in Phelps County. Eliza E. Crismon, born June 27, 1855, married William Massey November 5, 1872, and died February 24, 1882. Her family is described in this chapter under her married name. Jennie A. Crismon, youngest of the eight children of Isaac and Susan Crismon, was born January 27, 1859. She was married to O.F. Pounder March 20, 1881, and died April 28, 1888, the mother of three daughters: Mary, wife of James Groves, lives in either Pulaski or Wright County near Saint Anne, and Sadie, wife of William Connor, in Miller

County near Iberia. Alma, the third daughter, married a Thompson in Miller County, and is dead. She left children, but their names have not been received. Some years after the death of his first wife Isaac Crismon married Margaret Emeline Crismon, nee Gibson, widow of his son, Rufus O. Crismon. She was born April 26, 1867, and died November 26, 1892, the mother of one daughter by the last marriage, Maud, now wife of Gordon Jones. Isaac A. Crismon died June 24, 1892. Stephen Crismon, son of William W. Senior, so far as in known, left no record of his birth and death dates. In common with all his brothers, he served in the Confederate Army, although long past the usual age for such service. He seems to have move around more than most of the members of his family, mostly in this county until the Civil War. Soon after its close he moved to Ozark County, and later to Franklin County, where he died sometime in the seventies. He was three times married, the given name of his first wife not having been received. She was a sister of Elijah Breeding, and was the mother of three children, Polly, Judith, and Susan. The first married James, son of David Miller, and moved to Texas with the rest of that family about the time of the war. Judith married James Capehart and moved to Ozark County a great many years ago. Both she and her husband are long since dead leaving at least three children, Robert, James, and John. The first named died in 1901 and the other two are thought to live in Oklahoma, but their post office addresses are not known. Susan married John Gibson; her family is included in the Gibson and Powers section of the chapter on Early Churches. Stephen Crismon’s second marriage was to Jane, daughter of John Miller (not related to David) by whom he was also the father of three children: Martha, wife of J.R. Helton, whose issue is noted in the Helton section of this chapter; Ella who married Moses Stratton and whose only child, now Mrs. Paralee Muskrat, lives at Strange, Oklahoma; and Lottie who married Spot Bacon and is also dead; the five children born of this marriage and still living are: Moore, James, Dudley, Washington, and L.N. living around Oklahoma City. Three other children born of this marriage died in infancy. His third marriage was to Sallie Ezell, and three children were born of this marriage also: Jeff who died in infancy, Frances who married Wash Taylor, and Amanda whose married name is not at hand. Both the girls lived at Holdenville, Oklahoma, some years ago, and may now be dead. We have next to nothing about Gabriel (Gabe) Crismon, the remaining son of William W. Senior. The best tradition is that his wife was a Mears, and that he died in early middle age, survived by three children and his widow, whose further history is not at hand. The children, all now dead, were Rachel, Emeline, and Alex. Rachel Crismon married John H. Cox May 30, 1872, in this county. No further facts are at hand concerning her and it may be that they moved west. Emeline married Marion Wilson. One of her sons, Everett, now lives at Iberia; she had another son, Gabe, and a daughter whose present whereabouts are not known to relatives here. Gabriel Crismon’s son, Alex, first married Frances, daughter of Thomas Wiles, by whom he was the father of two

children, Effie who married her cousin, Everett Wilson, and lives at Iberia, and Alfred now in Oklahoma. His second marriage was to Ann, daughter of Frank Dodds, who lives at Jenks, Oklahoma. They were the parents of at least four children: Gabriel, Kate, now Mrs. Wasson, all yet living presumably near Jenks, and Richard who married and died leaving descendants. Of the daughters of William W. Crismon Senior, Mary married John T. Hughes and Rachel married Samuel Strickland. The records of these two will be found under their married names. Judith Crismon, daughter of William W. Senior, married W.A. (Lannie) Murphy some time around Civil War days, and died at Vienna between 1880 and 1885. Her widower survived her some years and is also long since dead, as are all of their seven children. One of the children, George, died in infancy. The others, all of whom left descendants are: Lou Ellen, probably the oldest, married William Cox and lived most of her married life in Oklahoma; her two children are Oliver and a daughter, married name unknown, both of whom live in or near Anadarko. William C. Murphy, the oldest son, was married March 30, 1873, to Martha, daughter of Edward Moss. He died during his term as Sheriff of the County, or shortly thereafter, survived by his widow who later married Ben Coffey, and his one daughter, Ella. His granddaughter, Rea, is now the wife of R.E. Crismon and lives in Jefferson City. Jack Murphy, the second oldest son, married Ella Burchard. He died early in life, too, leaving one son, William, who left Missouri more than thirty years ago and has been out of touch with relatives here ever since. The widow afterwards married Perry Ready and died some few years ago southwest of Springfield. Hallie Murphy, the second daughter, married Oliver Bumpass, and her descendants are noted in the chapter on Early Physicians. A.H. (Ham) Murphy married Maude M., granddaughter of Isaac C. Backues, who survives as the wife of W.A. Martin of Franklin County. The three children born of this union, all yet living, are: Isaac, with the Shell Pipe Line at Oetters Station; Mabel, wife of Rainey Goodman of St. Louis; and Ester of Chicago. James Monroe, twice Sheriff and twice Collector of the county, was born June 4, 1872, and died May 19, 1934. He was married to Effie Helton November 10, 1898, and after a few years on the upper Little Maries lived in and near Vienna the rest of his life. His widow still lives here. The five children living to maturity are: Myrtle, wife of John James of St. James; Lillian, wife of Earl Allen of Vichy; Kathleen, wife of Leo Sandbothe of Argyle; Boone of Vienna; and Wayne of Jefferson City. Members of the Massey family have always been in agreement about one thing, and that thing is to disagree about the spelling of their name. One hundred and fifty years ago many families of that name lived in North Carolina and Virginia. The Virginians were about fifty-fifty as to spelling it Massey or Massie, but in North Carolina only one member of the clan spelled it Massie. The same names in Missouri are almost interchangeable, even members of the same family using different forms, but, as in North

Carolina, those who spell it ‘Massey’ seem to be slightly in the majority. Three families of this name have figured in Maries County affairs, but only one of them to any considerable extent. Samuel Massey entered land in this county in 1831, but is was in connection with the operation of the Meramec Iron Works, in which he was interested. He never lived here, and his interests were later acquired by members of the James family. Henry A. Massie acquired land on the Dry Fork of the Bourbeuse in 1832, but soon sold out to one of the Johnsons and probably moved away since nothing more has been found concerning him. William Massey was the head of the third family of that name, and the only one connected with Maries County affairs to any considerable extent. William Massey was the son of David and Jane Massie, and was born April 5, 1805, in either North Carolina or Tennessee. His first recorded appearance in Missouri affairs was on January 10, 1828, on which day he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of George Hill, who was born July 29, 1812. Her birthplace is not known. The ceremony was performed by David Waldo, Justice of the Peace in (then) Gasconade County, and while he wrote his name Massey in transacting his business, it is interesting to note that the marriage certificate is Massie. There were several other Masseys in Gasconade County, but William Massey likely spent most of his married life in present Maries County. He entered part of the present Frank Prewett and John Dill farms in 1831, and since his father-in-law lived in that vicinity Massey probably settled near him. He died November 15, 1845. His widow, Aunt Bette Massey, later owned and as late as the middle seventies lived on land on the Little Maries now owned by the Fitzpatricks. Later she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Ferguson, on the Little Tavern, until her death about 1890. She is buried at the Red or Rowden Cemetery. They were the parents of eight children: Mary, Ivy, Elizabeth, Belinda (also written Malinda), George W., Charles W., Catherine, and William. Of these, Charles was born July 18, 1841, and died single December 27, 1861. Mary Massey, born March 23, 1831, married Rufus Rowden, and her descendents are to be found under that name. Ivy Massey, born February 24, 1833, married James Ferguson, one of the old-time schoolmasters of this and Miller County. She was the mother of one son, Owen, who died single. Elizabeth Massey, born January 6, 1836, married John Shelton; her issue is recorded under her married name. Belinda, or Malinda Massey, born January 1, 1838, married a Cowan, and after his death, childless, she married Thomas Ross and moved to Colorado, where she spent the remainder of her life and where any of her descendants now likely live. George W. Massey, born March 17, 1839, died in infancy. Catherine Massey, born August 27, 1843, married James H., son of Satterthwaite Tyree, and died September 30, 1917. Her family will be found under her husband’s name. William Massey, the youngest child, born October 25, 1845, died in Bates County, Missouri, December 24, 1884. He was married October 3, 1872, by Reverend Edward

Moss, to Eliza, daughter of Isaac A. (One-Armed Ike) Crismon. She was born here January 27, 1845, and the young couple made their home in this county until about 1881, when they removed to Bates County, where Mrs. Massey died February 24, 1882. Of the four children born of this marriage and living to maturity, only one, Arthur B. (Brance) lives in this county which he served as Probate Judge and Sheriff. Ray and Waldo both live in Yale, Oklahoma. Sylvia, the only daughter, married Hugh Slone and died in New Mexico in 1921, leaving her husband and six children: Clyde, Lillie, Bertie, Opal, Willard, and Fay, all in Oklahoma. Their married names have not been received. Very little is known concerning David Massey, the ancestor of the Massey family above set out. He entered land in the extreme northwest corner of present Franklin County July 16, 1818, but must have moved a short distance west very shortly, because he was a member of one of the first juries in Gasconade County in 1822. Gasconade County was organized in 1820, but did not begin to function as a county until 1821, and this was likely the second term of court held there. Among other things they passed on was a murder case, the defendant being found guilty and fined fifty dollars, as well as sentenced to a year and a day in jail.

Notes for John Lewis Whidden: John L. (Long John) Whidden By Spessard Stone

South Florida in its pioneer days, like the "Wild West," had a wideopen range with a number of infamous outlaws, one of whom was John L. Whidden, commonly known as "Long John" Whidden. A member of the prominent Whidden family, John L. Whidden was born ca. 1838 in Florida, probably Levy County. He was a son of William and Lucinda Whidden. Early Hillsborough County, Florida records of guardianship show that on January 11, 1855 James Whidden, Sr. and others petitioned that James Whidden, Jr. be appointed as guardian of John, William, Mary, James, and George W. Whidden, "minor heirs of Lucinda Whidden, late of said county." On July 29, 1859 James L. Whidden, Jr., guardian of James and George W. Whidden, reported 35 head of cattle belonging to the

estate. On September 26, 1859, however, James and George W. Whidden, minor children of William Whidden, citing the failure of James Whidden Sr. to perform his duty, requested that their brother, John Whidden, be appointed their guardian. Thus orphaned with the care of his siblings, John L. early learned the old saying, "Life isn't always fair." How John was to react, however, was to set him apart from other members of his clan and the community-at-large. During the Third Seminole War, John enlisted as a private in Capt. Leroy G. Lesley's Company. Here John L. first began to evidence that nonconformist conduct which would later lead to his downfall. Capt. Lesley, who was also a Methodist minister in the Old Testament warrior tradition, on November 25, 1857 requested that Unknown Whidden be discharged for disobedience and insolence and he was drummed out of service. John T. Lesley of Tampa, son of Capt. Leroy G. Lesley, in May 1904 declared of John, “Whidden known as Cutthroat John and his brother William Whidden with another man did desert the company at Fort Meade when the company was ordered to the Big Cypress..." John T. Lesley on June 4, 1910 further averred: "This John Whidden who had a brother William deserted together with his brother William. We were stationed at Fort Meade and were ordered to go to the Everglades in the interior of the state and they John Whidden and his brother William said they would not go and were put under guard. They then promised to go with us but when we started they were missing. At this time this John Whidden and his brother William were members of my father's company." It appeared, however, that John was ready to settle down from his errant ways as on January 14, 1858 he took as his bride 17-year-old Artemissa Driggers. It seemed only an aberration when he in April was charged with "willfully marking the calf of another." His mavericking was settled, and John and his wife started anew at Fort Hartsuff. The Whiddens were enumerated in household 34/34 in the Fort Hartsuff area (now Wauchula) in the 1860 census of Manatee County, dated June 11. Living with John, 22, and Artemissa, 19, besides their one-year-old son, William, and one-month son, James, were John's 18-year-old brother, James, and 16-year-old brother, George W. Neighbors included the families of: Daniel Douglas,

Isaiah Smith, and Ann Driggers. During the Civil War, John enlisted as a private at Key West on December 8, 1863 in Company A, Second Florida Cavalry, United States Army. Company records described him as a refugee from the Confederacy, born 1835 Levy Co., 6 feet, with blue eyes, light hair & fair skin, occupation, farmer. He was mustered out November 29, 1865 at Tallahassee. After the war, he settled near Fort Ogden, where he resumed his livelihood as a farmer/stockman. 1869 found John again in trouble with the law. In May 1869, he was charged with larceny. Owen R. Blount and David D. Whidden became his sureties, which action they would later regret when on November 11, 1872 John L. was declared in default, and they were ordered by the state to pay the recognizances. While in Manatee County court, John L. burned his bridges with his religious neighbors when on May 7, 1869 he filed an affidavit in which he alleged: "...that on or about the third day of April 1869 one Wm. P. McEwen did create a disturbance at a place of worship in the vicinity of Fort Ogden -- by loud and abusive language addressed to the deponent, and by threatening and drawing a weapon upon him..." Wm. P. McEwen was the Rev. William Penn McEwen, a beloved circuit-riding Methodist minister. No further legal action could be found on the allegation. On March 7, 1870, Frank Griffin gave a deposition before John Bartholf, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Manatee County, in which he charged that on February 7 in the vicinity of Fort Ogden he was "set upon without cause, pretext or provocation by one F. C. M. Boggess, John L. Whidden, Joseph Brooker and David Whidden, and assaulted and pursued with deadly weapons...with threats to kill him..." A cowhunter employed by Simeon Hollingsworth, Griffin is believed to have been an ex-slave. Whidden next added manslaughter to his crimes. Francis A. Ivey, who'd served with John in Company A, Second Florida Cavalry, lived in Fort Ogden township with his wife, Barbary, and two daughters, Mary Frances and Caroline. The nickname of "Long John" was first applied in print to Whidden in the Florida Peninsular of June 29, 1870: "Man Killed--Francis A. Ivey was killed by John Whidden (Long John) near Fort Myers, Monroe county, not long since, under the

following circumstances as we have heard them: The parties were minding a drove of beef cattle, and fell out as to which had control of them.-- High words ensued; Ivey advanced upon Whidden, threw sticks and trash in Whidden's face, whereupon Whidden, after repeatedly warning Ivey to stand off, drew his knife and stabbed him in the abdomen. Ivey lived about a week after he was stabbed. Whidden had not been arrested up to latest dates." Ivey died on June 11, 1870. Long John fled and was never apparently arrested. Long John Whidden was soon heard of again when the Florida Peninsular of October 5, 1870 chronicled a further altercation in Manatee County: "We learn that a difficulty occurred between a young man named Parish and a man called Long John, in which the long gentleman was stabbed. The wounds inflicted upon Long John are supposed to be mortal, and Parish has left the county." Described "as almost a giant in size and in appearance as strong as Hercules," Long John arose from his "death-bed" and fled the (for him) hostile environment for Sumter County. Trouble and Long John were synonymous. On August 7, 1878 in Manatee County, Jackson Prine was killed with John being the suspect. Frances Prine, the widow, testified: "The said Prine was killed on the 7th of Aug. 1878 at about dark in Manatee Co., Fla. There was no one present except Prine, Myself and Baby and my son. John Whidden was lying on the bed, sick. Prine and me were out in the shed. I heard the report of a gun, and Prine fell at my feet, on his face, he died immediately and if he ever spoke any thing I never heard it and at the time the gun fired he was whipping me with a strop of leather. I heard John get off the bed, and then he caught me by my right arm and asked me what was the matter." The Whiddens were enumerated in the 1880 census of Sumter County. Listed in the household, besides John, age 44, and his wife Mary, 21, were seven children, Wm. F., 18 [?]; James, 18; Ellen E. 16; Artimien, 12; John M., 9; Mary H., 4; Jessie F. (son), 2. Long John and his son, Irvin, in May 1882, provoked a fight that led to murder of Thomas W. "Tom" Jones, which placed them beyond the pale of the law to become outlaws with a bounty on Long John. The Florida Daily Times of Sunday, May 21, 1882 reported: "Tampa, May 16"The news reached Tampa Monday of the murder of Mr. Tom Jones, formerly a citizen here, in Webster, Sumter County, last week. The circumstances appear to be about as follows:

"Two rowdies came to the mill Mr. Jones was employed at, and started the machinery of the mill when the workmen were at their dinner. Jones immediately stopped the moving machinery, and ordered the men to desist and leave. The rowdies then knocked Tom down and left. Tom, being a small man, of course, could not defend himself against two giant, drunken bullies. "At the close of the day's labor, Jones returned to his boarding house, and there he encountered the men who so cowardily assaulted him at the mill. However, being of a peaceful turn of mind, he overlooked the occurrence of the morning and let the matter drop. At the supper table the two rowdies commenced again to renew the quarrel and threw a plate at Jones and cut him up pretty badly. Even then Jones would not fight, and went down to the store of the millowner. He did this in order to keep out of their way. He was fearful the men might follow him still, so he took his gun and loaded it. "To protect his life he loaded his gun with buckshot. Soon his tormentors followed him, this time on trouble bent. Jones called to them to leave, but they still advanced, threatening him. He fired a load at one, and then another load at the other. The loads were well aimed, but a lack of powder made them ineffective. The ruffians advance and shot him down. He was killed at the first fire. This was not enough. The murderers advanced and emptied their six shooters in the dead body of their victim and then coolly walked off." Declaring they would not be taken alive, Long John, now called "Black John," and Irvin eluded capture by a sheriff's posse to flee to the Ten Thousand Islands. There they were joined by others of the family and secreted themselves on Ramrod Key, opposite Torch Key. An enticing $1,000 reward was offered for Black John. In 1888, H. H. Herndon, deputy sheriff of Sumter County, having learned of Whidden's hideout, journeyed to Key West. Posing as desirous of purchasing land somewhere on the coast to engage in the breeding of sheep, goats, and poultry for the Key West market, Herndon engineered a sting, maneuvering Long John to come to Torch Key to discuss selling his improvement on Ramrod Key and with the assistance of a Mr. Johnson and Garry Nile captured the fugitive, but only after a desperate struggle with Whidden and the seizure of Long John's trusty rifle from his twelve-year-old son who was in the act of firing when Johnson snatched the rifle. Then Herndon went to Ramrod Key and arrested Irvin, who offered no resistance. Thus, after three or four weeks, the lawman had finally snared his prey. On March 31, 1888, he arrived at Key West with his prisoners and from there they were sent via mail boat to Tampa and then to the Sumterville jail. Left behind at Ramrod Key

were Long John's wife and three children. Sumter County Sheriff Chapman subsequently carried Long John to Gainesville in April where he was imprisoned awaiting the next session of the circuit court. Irvin, deemed less dangerous, was left confined in the Sumterville jail. The Lakeland Cracker, reprinted in the Weekly News-Herald of April 5, 1888, noted that beside the Jones murder, John L. had also eluded the law in another murder case, that of Frank Ivy [sic], "Ivy had killed a brother of Whidden, and was in turn was killed by Whidden." On March 15, 1889, John Whidden for the murder of Tom Jones was sentenced to life imprisonment. The 24-year-old Irvin also received a life sentence. John L. "Long John" Whidden died in prison on November 11, 1891. Irvin, due to his youth when the murder occurred, drew sympathy from a number of prominent citizens in Sumterville, including the jury who convicted him, and a petition was circulated for his pardon. On March 15, 1897, Irvin was released. Thus did mercy season justice.

Posing as desirous of purchasing land somewhere on the coast to engage in the breeding of sheep, goats, and poultry for the Key West market, Herndon engineered a sting, maneuvering Long John to come to Torch Key to discuss selling his improvement on Ramrod Key and with the assistance of a Mr. Johnson and Garry Nile captured the fugitive, but only after a desperate struggle with Whidden and the seizure of Long John's trusty rifle from his twelve-year-old son who was in the act of firing when Johnson snatched the rifle. Then Herndon went to Ramrod Key and arrested Irvin, who offered no resistance. Thus, after three or four weeks, the lawman had finally snared his prey. On March 31, 1888, he arrived at Key West with his prisoners and from there they were sent via mail boat to Tampa and then to the Sumterville jail. Left behind at Ramrod Key were Long John's wife and three children. Sumter County Sheriff Chapman subsequently carried Long John to Gainesville in April where he was imprisoned awaiting the next session of the circuit court. Irvin, deemed less dangerous, was left confined in the Sumterville jail. The Lakeland Cracker, reprinted in the Weekly News-Herald of April 5, 1888, noted that beside the Jones murder, John L. had also eluded the law in another murder case, that of Frank Ivy [sic], "Ivy had killed a brother of Whidden, and was in turn was killed by Whidden." On March 15, 1889, John Whidden for the murder of Tom Jones was sentenced to life imprisonment. The 24-year-old Irvin also received a life sentence. John L. "Long John" Whidden died in prison on November 11, 1891. Irvin, due to his youth when the murder occurred, drew sympathy from a number of prominent citizens in Sumterville, including the jury who convicted him, and a petition was circulated for his pardon. On March 15, 1897, Irvin was released. Thus did mercy season justice.

found in the 1850 Census these three girls are already married - per Barbara Pugh) The railbed, later knownas the Frisco-Burlington-Northern Railroad, was used heavily by the Civil War soldiers. It was known then as the Springfield-Rolla road. This road ran through the Humphrey and James A. Yowell farms that were located between Rolla and Newburg. Lindsey Long I married Sarah Ann (Wilson) Yowell (Nov. 5, 1834 - Oct. 11, 1923) who was the sister of notorious bushwacker, Bill Wilson, of whom much is written and documented in the National Archives, Washington, D.C. After the death of Lindsey Long I, Sarah Ann married David H. Inyard, inAugust 1879. Sixty acres of the old Yowell farm is now in the ownership of the great-great grandson of Humphrey Yowell, Leonard Lee Yowell of Wilmington, Delaware and his mother Edna and step-father Jess Crabtree of St. Louis, Missouri. The old Yowell Cemetery is still there with the tombstones of Easton S. and William C Yowell in good condition. Also a footstone witht the initials of L. L. Y. Humphrey may be buried her also. The old house burned many years ago but there is an old log house still standing. The grounds and log house are being renovated at this time by the family.

Notes for James W. Whidden: James W. Whidden By Spessard Stone

James W. Whidden was the first white settler of the Peace River Valley of Florida. James W. Whidden, son of James Whiddon, Sr. aka Whitton, was born June 20, 1791 in that part of Washington County, Georgia that in 1796 became Montgomery County. A family Bible has "James Whitton," with his birth given as heretofore listed, but 1790 has also been cited by a descendant. The family surname variously was spelled also as Whitten, Whiten, Whiddon, and Whidden, with the latter becoming the accepted form during the last years of James W.'s life. About 1818, James W. married Mary Altman, born 1801 in South Carolina, daughter of Thomas and Lydia Altman. The couple lived in Appling (1820 census), and Ware (1830 census) counties in Georgia before moving in December 1830 to Upper Mineral Springs, Hamilton County (1840 census), Florida. During the Second Seminole War, James began what was to be a protracted battle with the Seminoles when he served in 1838-39 in Capt. William B. North's Company. Under terms of the Armed Occupation Act of 1842, James Whitten, on February 17, 1843 laid claim to land at Alafia, a few miles south of Tampa in Hillsborough County, Florida described as: "Lying about three miles above the fork of the big and little Alifia River. Line commencing at a Blazed pine tree marked JW running thence due West 160 Rods - thence due North 160 rods -- thence due East 160 Rods thence due North [sic] 160 Rods, Embracing One Quarter Section of Land." On September 7, 1846, James was appointed a road commissioner of the Alafia District. Sidney Whidden in September 1966, reminisced of his grandfather: He seemed to get along very well with the Indians who often stopped at the place and camped overnight on their raiding trips to Tampa. They would spend the night at the Whidden farm and proceed to Tampa the next morning and do such trading as they could. About the only thing they produced or brought in for trading was skins of animals they had killed and needed for food. They traded skins for such articles as they needed most, which often included whiskey." Sidney further related that an Indian named Old Frank and his squaw chose to live on the Whidden farm. This caused trouble, as his chief decreed that Old Frank return to his tribe. When he refused, the chief broke a whiskey bottle over Old Frank's head and then chopped at

him with a broken bottle. Although he returned to the tribe, he, thereafter, on three occasions warned James of potential trouble. Twice they fled their farm until the danger was over. On another time James knocked the chief on his head with his rifle when he tried to force his way into the house. At the beginning of the spring of 1849, James became the first white settler of the Peace River Valley when he and his family settled illegally in a neutral zone, which had been reserved as a buffer between the Indians and white settlers. The site was located southwest of Pease Creek Settlement (now Bartow) near a creek, which soon was called Whidden Creek. Indian agent John Casey visited the Whidden settlement in March 1849. On March 19, 1849, Casey noted in his diary: "...this AM Sampson and I visit Pea Creek see Chaifee & wife on the deading -E. of last night's camp -- like the place. Trees destroyed by hail year after Jackson was on the Suwanee -- Pretty little girl (Lizzy) at Whidden's. I find healthy looking boys & children -- road very crooked at store -- Darling's avenue.” The settlement was, however, temporarily abandoned after four Indians on July 19, 1849 shot into the Whidden house and wounded a son. The family sought refuge at Alafia where they were soon joined by their daughter, Nancy and her husband William McCullough, refugees from the Indian attack at the KennedyDarling store on July 17, in which son Dempsey Whidden and Capt. George S. Payne had been killed and William and Nancy wounded. The attack had been perpetrated by a small band of outlaw Indians. Three were, thereafter, turned over to General Twiggs while a fourth was slain by the Indians as they wanted to avoid a war. The bereaved father yearned for revenge and served in Capt. John Parker's Company, which was raised after the murders. He also petitioned Judge Simon Turman for a state warrant for the murderers, but General Twiggs opted with a military solution by deporting the three Indians to Arkansas. The Whiddens returned to Whidden Creek. As James Whitton, he and Mary and unmarried children were enumerated in household # 139 in the Pease Creek Settlement in the 1850 census of Hillsborough County, dated October 29. The Agricultural Schedule showed him to have sixty-six head of cattle. The Third Seminole War offered the aged Whidden a second opportunity for revenge, but he was only to endure more sorrow. Records show the Whidden clan of age unanimously joined the

militia companies of Captains Hooker, Durrance and Lesley. James W. served in Hooker and Lesley's companies. His son, James L. Whidden, and sons-in-law, William L. Campbell and William McCullough, were in Hooker's Company while Rabun Raulerson, another son-in-law, and sons, Lott and John Whidden, saw action in Durrance's Company. Again, James was to endure the loss of a son to the Indians. In the Willoughby Tillis Battle on June 14, 1856, 2nd Lt. Alderman Carlton, William Parker, and Lott Whidden, the nineteen-year-old son of James, married only four days before, were killed. In the ensuing battle of June 16, Robert Prine and George Howell were killed, with James Whidden being wounded. Soldiers of Florida by the name of James Whidden, Sr. has this notation, "Wounded at Peace River, June 16 '56." It was, however, James L. Whidden, son of James W., who received the wound. On October 3, 1892, James L. Whidden, of Fort Meade, attested, "That while a member of the organization aforesaid [Hooker's Co.], in the service and in the line of duty near Ft. Meade in the State of Florida on or about the 16th day of June 1856, he was wounded by being shot with a ball from a rifle, said ball striking his person on the right side of the right thigh and penetrated some distance." Probably, after the war's end, James W. Whidden relocated near Fort Pierce. Again, Sidney Whidden recalled: "He later tried a settlement on Ten Mile Creek out of Ft. Pierce but was washed out by a high water from a hurricane. The entire place was covered with water and mullet were jumping in the potato patch. His cattle had all departed back toward the west coast so they abandoned the Ten Mile Creek project and moved to what is now Polk County. I believe his first farm in Polk County was two miles west of Fort Meade." James W. Whidden died at Phosphoria in Polk County in 1869. He was followed in death by his wife, Mary Whidden, a few months later. He was remembered as "a strapping big Irishman who wasn't afraid of the devil and a buzzsaw." They are buried in Old Elam Cemetery, in the old Chicora section, west of Fort Meade. In March 1938, William J. J. Whidden, a grandson, placed a double headstone over the graves.

Notes for Tabbitha // (Mrs. David Ray): [2905146.FTW] No record of Jacob Arnett and Tabbitha Ray's marriage hasbeen located in records of Washington County, Hawkins County,Knox County, or Grainger County marriage records, although it islikely that they married about 1794 or 1795 in Washington Countywhere David Ray's estate was probated. (Since Jacob andTabbitha's son named his first son NELSON Arnett, perhaps thatis Tabbitha's maiden name orthe maiden name of Ann CoffeeArnett's mother, Esther. Nelson seems to have been a veryuncommon given name in Grainger County, so it is likely asurname used as a given name.) Tabbitha Ray Arnett's children Abner, Samuel, and Ann RaySparkman (wife of Levi Sparkman) sold land to Jacob Arnett in1820 -- 240 acres onBuffalo Creek, for $100.00 in hand.

626. John D., Jr. Coffey, born 1733 in Essex County, Virginia; died Aft. 1814 in most likely Grainger County, Tennessee. He was the son of 1252. John D., Sr. Coffey and 1253. Jane (Jean) Graves. He married 627. Dorcas Carter Abt. 1755 in Albemarle County, Virginia. 627. Dorcas Carter, born 1735 in Prob. Goochland Co., (now Albemarle Co.) Virginia; died Abt. 1800 in Tennessee. She was the daughter of 1254. (John ?) Carter. Notes for John D., Jr. Coffey: [2905146.FTW] John Coffee/Coffey married Dorcas Carter about 1755. He was bornabout 1733 in Essex County, Virginia. Dorcas was said to be thedaughter of John Carter and hermother's name may have beenPatsy. However, there was a William Carter in Albemarle Countywith a wife named Dorcas. John Coffee's second wife was Nancy Richardson. The childrenbelow are presumed to be children of John Coffee and DorcasCarter. There may have been other children born to John andDorcas or John andNancy, but they are unknown. John Coffey was probably the John Confey [sic]on a list ofsurveys dated Jun 1746 - June 1747, Albemarle Co. for 150 acres.Magazine of Virginia Genealogy, vol. XXIII, p. 276." John Coffee appears in the 1810 Census for Grainger County,Tennessee as well as the tax list for the county in that year.Meredith lived nearby. Their land was on the south side ofClinch Mountain near Rutledge, Grainger County, Tennessee.

Notes for Dorcas Carter: [2905146.FTW] Dorcas Carter was said to have been born around 1735. Manysources list her birthplace as Albemarle County, Virginia, butAlbemarle County was not yet created in 1735. Its predecessorcounty was Goochland. Around 1740, the following Carter names appear in GoochlandCounty: Edward Carter; John Carter (Goochland County Order Book4, 1735 - 1741) page 39 & 126. "Secretary Carter" same source;Theodorick Carter, St. James Parish. Although the Graves Family Organization asserts that DorcasCarter was the daughter of John Carter, I have found nodocumentation to substantiate this claim. Children of John D. and Dorcas Carter are: i. Meridith Coffey (Coffee), born Abt. 1772 in Albemarle County, Virginia; died Bef. 18 Sep 1838 in Grainger County, Tennessee; married Esther 1797 in Grainger County, Tennessee; born Abt. 1782 in Virginia or Tennessee?; died Abt. 1840 in prob. Grainger County, Tennessee. Notes for Meridith Coffey (Coffee): [2905146.FTW] Meredith Coffey was born about 1760-70 (perhaps 1769) inAlbemarle or Amherst County, Virginia and died in before 18September 1838, when his estate was administered in GraingerCounty, Tennesee. He married Esther (or Hester), whose lastname is unknown---about 1797. She was born about 1776 and diedafter 1840. All their children -- except possibly John, thefirst child -- were born in Grainger County, Tennessee. Meridith Coffee Appears in 1799 Tax List for Grainger County.

Notes for William Coppedge: First Settlers, Phelps County, Missouri >From "History of Laclede, Camden, Dallas, Webster, Wright, Texas, Pulaski, Phelps and Dent Counties, Missouri" The Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1889. **********************************************************************

The earliest settlers of whom authentic information is had, outside of hunters and Indians, are a few who arrived in 1818; these were James Harrison, Adam Bradford, John York and Jack and John Ducan, with possibly a few others. Mr. Harrison was an energetic and highly respected Virginian, who located at the mouth of Little Piney, near Arlington's present site. His descendants are very numerous, and are among the excellent citizens of several counties of this region; Polly, the widow of John Robertson, of Laclede county, is the only survivor of his large family of fourteen children. Mr. Harrison and his sons, especially Robert and Thomas, were among the first officers of Pulaski and Phelps counties. His home was a pioneer court house of old Crawford county, the court meeting in his store-room, and the grand jury "considering their presentments" out in the grove near by. When he first settled there the nearest house was at Steelville, and the nearest court, probably at St. Louis. County after county was created around him, so that, it is said, his house had been in five different counties. In his prime he was described as a large, fine looking man, with dark, curling hair, and weighing about 260 pounds. The old place is now owned by Mr. Pillman. Adam Bradford first settled on Little Piney, but soon removed to Spring Creek. He was among the first to erect a mill. He was a noted marksman. The Ducans located on the Gasconade, below Arlington site. The caves of Phelps county figure as the next attraction to settlers. Saltpetre Cave, ten miles northwest of Rolla, and Spring cave, near Relfe, are identified with early history. Saltpetre Cave is the largest, and by a surveying party was said to have been explored for five miles into subterranean depths; it was not its spacious entrance, with its beautiful spring, nor its extensive compartments, pendant with sparkling stalactites seven feet long, and pillared with stalagmites, among which winds a rippling stream, that brought the sturdy settlers in 1823; it was an altogether more prosy thing, namely, the deposits of saltpetre the cave contained. For this William Coppedge, a powder manufacturer of Kentucky, came with his family of four sons and two daughters, located near the site of Newburg. They engaged extensively in powder making, and afterward undertook agriculture. His descendants are numerous, and excellent citizens. His only living son, Lindsey, is an aged and now childish old man of eighty-three years, residing at Relfe Post office, where he located in 1846. They had with them a mortar and pestle, with which they made meal and flour for a time, until they erected a little water mill on a branch of Little Piney, near Newburg. Lindsey Coppedge was a carpenter, and cabinet maker also, and made the first flour bolting machine ever used within the limits of Phelps county. He is now the oldest resident of the county. Spring Creek Cave furnishes an interesting incident, of another kind and of a later date (1850); it was a severe fright which befell a Sunday exploring party, composed of Delilah and Kaziah Lawson and Aherd Maise. Evening came on, and as they did not return, their

friends began a vigorous search of the cave. The search continued until noon the next day, when the party had grown to sixty persons, and the lost ones were found, almost overcome with despair and fright. Their lights had gone out and left them lost. They were found by John D. Bradford and others. Among others who came about 1825 or 1826 were Humphrey Yowell, George Sally, Isaac, Jack and Moses Brown, William Arthur, David Lenox and Jack Vest, who located on Little Piney. David Lenox was a Baptist preacher of the Old School. Willis Bryant and William Hawkins settled on the Gasconade, and Robert Wright "squatted" above Arlington. About this time it was that the Shawnee Indians proved to be an instrument of civilization. They wandered over Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, and while camped in Adams county, Ohio, they visited a large store at Brush Creek furnace, and traded with its proprietor, Thomas James. Mr. James was of Welsh descent, born in Maryland about four months after this country achieved independence. He grew to be a remarkably sagacious man of large views, and in 1803, when quite a young man, went to Ohio and established the above named furnace as the first one in the State, and the first forge in the State he built in Ross county. With his usual keenness he learned of the where abouts of iron from these Indians, and in 1825, securing one of them as a guide, he came to Missouri, and soon decided on the Meramec banks, whereupon he returned to Ohio, and with his old foreman, Samuel Massey, and a force of miners, came back, and on August 8, 1826, began the erection of the Meramec furnace and buildings, at a cost of over $40,000. These were erected on Section 1, Township 37, Range 6, where with the magnificent water power, the limestone for fluxing purposes, and the forests for charcoal, a model situation was found for one of the earliest and most famous of the mineral works in Missouri. The first four months they employed from 100 to 200 hands, and all supplies were hauled in wagons from St. Louis. At the end of ten months they began business, and employed from 240 to 300 men; the iron was hauled to St. Louis, and teams even came from Arkansas for iron bars, the annual output being about 300,000 tons. Besides the furnace Mr. James had a blacksmith shop and grist mill, but no saloon was allowed. Meramec Iron Works postoffice was established, with Samuel Massey, as the first postmaster. This became a prominent point for the whole south half of the state. Mr. James superintended his vast business until 1844, when he owned 11,000 acres about the furnace. He then turned over the management of it to his son William, and in 1856 his death occurred. It was in his honor that the town of St. James was named. His son William managed the furnace until 1878, when it was closed, for reasons given elsewhere in this volume. The estate now belongs to the Thomas James heirs. William James now is an old resident of St. James. Many of the employees of these works became the farmer settlers of Phelps and surrounding counties. In 1827 Hamilton Lenox settled on Elk Prairie, Wilson Lenox and Robert and James Newburg found homes on Spring Creek, and Wright Light located near the site of Rolla. In 1829 Anthony and George Kitchen located on Little Piney; Anthony was the first tailor to settle in the county, and the young swains gave him considerable work in cutting blue jeans. About the same time Moses Freeman and Joel Melton settled

on Beaver Creek. In 1830 Philip Hensley and Carter Hawkins located on Gasconade River, and John Rhea on Little Piney; of Mr. Rhea's eight children, only one, Jane, the widow of George Sally, is now living. Mr. Rhea's brother-in-law, William Leek, came with him from Tennessee, and also Joseph Dodd, the father-in-law of Lindsey Coppedge, who located on Mill Creek. James H. Wilson, Martin and John Miller and Washington Brown arrived about the same time. In 1833 Solomon King found a home on Spring Creek, and on Little Piney Isaac Wright located; he was the father of Lewis Wright, whom, with his four sons, were the victims of a war tragedy in 1865. About 1836 William Matthews located on the named Matthews prairie, and John Edgar's name was attached to the well known spring and prairie of the same way about 1840. Isaac and Lee Love were also early pioneers who have left numerous and sturdy descendents. Children of William Coppedge and Mary Abell are: 319 i.

Custom Field: Estate in Pulaski Co. 1857@S003652@ Custom Field: 1840 Pulaski Co. MO@S003154@ Henson COPPEDGE, son of William and grandson of Moses COPPEDGE, was born in 1801 in Kentucky and moved to Missouri with the family before statehood. He was about2 years younger than his brother Lindsey and they worked together and often lived near each other. Records do not indicate that he followed in his father's footsteps in holding public office, but it is known he was interested in community affairs. In 1823-24 wheen L. L. COPPEDGE had a store at the site of Newburg, Henson COPPEDGE built a "still" on Little Piney. He operated thisbusiness for a short time then moved it to Spring Creek near Relfe, MO. This was the first distillery in this section of the Ozarks. The pure whiskey sold for 20 cents a quart, and it has been pointed out that it contained no fighting ingredient. At one time Henson owned a farm near Relfe, and old timers in the area still speak of the "Henson COPPEDGE Place". This farm had the finest spring in that part of the country. My oldest sister, who was 92 years old this year (1981), distinctly remembers the farm and the spring. Uncle Robert Cowan (Dr. Cowan) and wife Sarah "Sally" COPPEDGE - daughter of Lindsey L. COPPEDGE lived at this place before moving to Edgar Prairie. Dad moved his family there after his brother moved away, and my oldest brother and sister attended their first school from this place. Henson married Nancy KITCHENS sometime between 1828 and 1831. As their children became school age they had private tutors and later attended the local school with friends and family. He was a prosperous merchant in Pulaski Co., (later Phelps) for many yearsand lived to be 88 years old. He died in November 1888 - and his descendants are scattered over the United States, many of whom follow Henson's footsteps and are

prominent in their community. Coppedge/Freeman and Next of Kin - pg. 61 by Mildred C.

Call Number: Media: Other Page: Thomas FROST (Sr.) Text: [[email protected]] Aug 1997 - Listing of descendents for Thomas FROST (Sr., babt 1735 d-1807). Also states that his father's name has not been proven, but strong evidence concerning land transactions indicate that Joseph FROST, one of the first property owners in Amherst Co,VA., is the father of our Thomas FROST. Revolutionary soldier, Joseph FROST states that he visited his brother in Bedford Co,VA. Since the only FROSTs living in Bedford Co. during this time were brothers Thomas & John, the supposition is that Joseph Jr. is a brother of Thomas & John. Thomas signed documents with a distinctive combination of the letter "T" & "F" rather than the normal "X" that iliterate individuals of the time would make. This distinctive mark has been of great benefit in confirming his migration and holdings in various documents in the archives. The FROST Clan were among the first to colonize Washington Co,VA. In 1795, Thomas FROST became the first known permanent settler of Anderson Co,TN. settling in Racoon Valley. Children of Thomas Frost and Martha Neville are: i.

Notes for Joshua Frost: [NancyFrost.ged] SOURCE SKETCHES OF TENNESSEE'S PIONEER BAPTIST PREACHERS By: J.J. Burnett Located in the George and Helen Mahon Library at Lubbock Texas Joshua Frost Joshua, son of Thomas Frost, was born in Lee County, VA, December 22, 1782. His father moved to East Tennessee in 1796, and "entering" a section of land, five miles south of Clinton, Built on it "the first house" that was built in Anderson County. Here young Frost was brought up to farm life, with few advantages of an education. He was married July 19, 1803, to Miss Annie Chiles. To this union were born six children, five sons, and one daughter. The date of his conversion and baptism was lost with the old records of the Beaver Ridge (or Ball Camp) Church, Knox County, with which he united. The record of March 1818, places Joshua Frost at the head of a list of the "nineteen constituent members" of the

Raccoon Valley Arm (now Zion Church), which the mother church agreed might be established. His church licensed him to preach September 12, 1820, and by request of the above mentioned Arm he was ordained, March 1822, Thomas Hudiburg and Obed Patty constituting the presbytery. The ministerial career of Brother Frost begins, therefore, with the history of the Raccoon Valley Arm, in the beginning of 1818, this new interest growing up around him. In 1819 an acre of land was given by a Brother Norman, on which to build a house of worship. In 1823 the Arm assumed the name of "Zion meeting-house," and the year following became an independent body. The old meetinghouse, many of whose logs Brother Frost cut and hewed, is still standing (1897), and close by is the old dwelling house built by his father and inherited by the son, who lived in it till upwards of 80 years old, when he went on a visit to his children in Illinois. Elder Frost was pastor of Zion Church about forty years. Of the old mother church, Beaver Ridge, otherwise known as the "brick chapel," he was pastor for a great number of years, baptizing into the fellowship of the church, first and last, so the old brethren say, at least "200 members." He was also pastor of Salem, Clinton, Mt. Horeb, Bethel, Fairview, Union and other churches, in Roane, Anderson and Knox counties, many of which he was chiefly instrumental in founding. "He was the prime factor in the organization of Mount Harmony, Zion Hill, Blowing Spring, Pine Grove, and Third Creek churches." (Azariah Harrell.) He did a great deal of work in out-of-the-way and destitute places, and while he had the misfortune to lose his record of converts, baptisms, churches organized, etc., he was heard to say that he had organized and built up, pretty much by his own efforts and the Lord's help, "twenty-two churches." From 1818 to 1863 Elder Frost, almost every year, was either a delegate or a corresponding delegate to the Tennessee Association. The minutes show that he preached five introductory sermons before that body. He was for some years Moderator of the Northern Association, and from 1853 to 1864 he was Moderator of the Clinton. Joshua Frost had an "impressive voice and manner that made him a power in the pulpit. A wave of his hand made an impression." (B. Demarcus.) His voice was not only powerful, but clear and penetrating: be could be heard distinctly a great distance. It is said that his wife at home, a full half mile from the church, could hear him read or quote his text and line out his hymns, and tell him all about his performance at church when he would get borne.

As a minister and as a man he was firm, fearless and out-spoken. He never allowed an oath or sin of any kind, in his presence, to go unrebuked. There was an air of gravity and sanctity about him that caused all classes of people to reverence him. Was there a bunch of youngsters, or of older people, engaged in frivolous conversation in or about the church? The approach of Elder Frost was a signal for silence or reverential behavior. He is said to have had wonderful tact in introducing on all occasions the subject of religion. He lived on the public highway and kept a sort of public tavern or stopping place for stock-drivers, lawyers, judges and other travelers, but he would rarely have a person in his home an hour, it is said, or ride a mile with a stranger on the highway, without finding out whether he was a Christian or not. In his preaching he quoted freely from the Scriptures, proving all things by the Word of God, giving chapter and verse. He was also a good singer, and was gifted in exhortation. He was a thorough believer in free salvation and missions, and had little sympathy with the doctrine of predestination as held by many Baptists of his day. Perhaps the greatest sermon of his life was at the Powell's Valley Association, when that body was settling down into "fixed fate" and anti-mission sentiments. The question was up as to who would preach and some of the brethren were excusing themselves as not being "prepared." Elder Frost said, "If ever I was prepared to preach it is now"; and he commenced his sermon by saying, "They say he is a respecter of persons. My Bible teaches most plainly that he is a respecter of character, and willet not the death of any." One of the notable characteristics of Elder Frost's ministry was the conscientiousness with which he filled his preaching appointments. It is said that in a ministry of nearly fifty years he never disappointed more than one or two congregations. He was also a great believer in prayer, and had a firm and abiding faith that if God had called him to preach his everlasting gospel he would take care of his family while he was doing it. At one time he had an engagement to begin work in the destitute regions of Kentucky. When the time came for him to leave borne to go to his appointment, his youngest child was very sick. His companion hung on his neck and wept sorely, beseeching him not to go. It was a sore trial for him to leave home under the circumstances, but, kissing the child and taking leave of his wife, he rode away with great heaviness of heart. He had gone only a little way, however, when his burden of anxiety had left him and he felt assured that his child would get well. The child was better from that same hour, and soon recovered. With all his seriousness and prevalent sobriety of manner, Elder Frost had in him a vein of droll humor which sometimes cropped out unexpectedly. Seeing a Baptist preacher, in time of the Civil War, carrying a gun on his shoulder, he gave his preacher brother a mild

and good-natured rebuke by telling him, he "didn't like to see a minister of the gospel carrying a gun, going about to kill people." As already mentioned, Elder Frost had gone to see his children in Illinois. He had finished his visit and had a desire to meet with the Clinton Association once more, especially since the meeting was to be with his home church, Zion. He was arranging for his return home, and it was only a week to the set time for his homecoming, when he was stricken with paralysis, which resulted in his death, July 30, 1865. He died at the home of his youngest son, Paul C. Frost, tenderly cared for. He wanted to return to his Tennessee home, but by the Father's appointment he went to his better home on high.

Notes for Joshua Frost: [NancyFrost.ged] SOURCE SKETCHES OF TENNESSEE'S PIONEER BAPTIST PREACHERS By: J.J. Burnett Located in the George and Helen Mahon Library at Lubbock Texas Joshua Frost Joshua, son of Thomas Frost, was born in Lee County, VA, December 22, 1782. His father moved to East Tennessee in 1796, and "entering" a section of land, five miles south of Clinton, Built on

it "the first house" that was built in Anderson County. Here young Frost was brought up to farm life, with few advantages of an education. He was married July 19, 1803, to Miss Annie Chiles. To this union were born six children, five sons, and one daughter. The date of his conversion and baptism was lost with the old records of the Beaver Ridge (or Ball Camp) Church, Knox County, with which he united. The record of March 1818, places Joshua Frost at the head of a list of the "nineteen constituent members" of the Raccoon Valley Arm (now Zion Church), which the mother church agreed might be established. His church licensed him to preach September 12, 1820, and by request of the above mentioned Arm he was ordained, March 1822, Thomas Hudiburg and Obed Patty constituting the presbytery. The ministerial career of Brother Frost begins, therefore, with the history of the Raccoon Valley Arm, in the beginning of 1818, this new interest growing up around him. In 1819 an acre of land was given by a Brother Norman, on which to build a house of worship. In 1823 the Arm assumed the name of "Zion meeting-house," and the year following became an independent body. The old meetinghouse, many of whose logs Brother Frost cut and hewed, is still standing (1897), and close by is the old dwelling house built by his father and inherited by the son, who lived in it till upwards of 80 years old, when he went on a visit to his children in Illinois. Elder Frost was pastor of Zion Church about forty years. Of the old mother church, Beaver Ridge, otherwise known as the "brick chapel," he was pastor for a great number of years, baptizing into the fellowship of the church, first and last, so the old brethren say, at least "200 members." He was also pastor of Salem, Clinton, Mt. Horeb, Bethel, Fairview, Union and other churches, in Roane, Anderson and Knox counties, many of which he was chiefly instrumental in founding. "He was the prime factor in the organization of Mount Harmony, Zion Hill, Blowing Spring, Pine Grove, and Third Creek churches." (Azariah Harrell.) He did a great deal of work in out-of-the-way and destitute places, and while he had the misfortune to lose his record of converts, baptisms, churches organized, etc., he was heard to say that he had organized and built up, pretty much by his own efforts and the Lord's help, "twenty-two churches." From 1818 to 1863 Elder Frost, almost every year, was either a delegate or a corresponding delegate to the Tennessee Association. The minutes show that he preached five introductory sermons before that body. He was for some years Moderator of the Northern Association, and from 1853 to 1864 he was Moderator of the Clinton.

Joshua Frost had an "impressive voice and manner that made him a power in the pulpit. A wave of his hand made an impression." (B. Demarcus.) His voice was not only powerful, but clear and penetrating: be could be heard distinctly a great distance. It is said that his wife at home, a full half mile from the church, could hear him read or quote his text and line out his hymns, and tell him all about his performance at church when he would get borne.

As a minister and as a man he was firm, fearless and out-spoken. He never allowed an oath or sin of any kind, in his presence, to go unrebuked. There was an air of gravity and sanctity about him that caused all classes of people to reverence him. Was there a bunch of youngsters, or of older people, engaged in frivolous conversation in or about the church? The approach of Elder Frost was a signal for silence or reverential behavior. He is said to have had wonderful tact in introducing on all occasions the subject of religion. He lived on the public highway and kept a sort of public tavern or stopping place for stock-drivers, lawyers, judges and other travelers, but he would rarely have a person in his home an hour, it is said, or ride a mile with a stranger on the highway, without finding out whether he was a Christian or not. In his preaching he quoted freely from the Scriptures, proving all things by the Word of God, giving chapter and verse. He was also a good singer, and was gifted in exhortation. He was a thorough believer in free salvation and missions, and had little sympathy with the doctrine of predestination as held by many Baptists of his day. Perhaps the greatest sermon of his life was at the Powell's Valley Association, when that body was settling down into "fixed fate" and anti-mission sentiments. The question was up as to who would preach and some of the brethren were excusing themselves as not being "prepared." Elder Frost said, "If ever I was prepared to preach it is now"; and he commenced his sermon by saying, "They say he is a respecter of persons. My Bible teaches most plainly that he is a respecter of character, and willet not the death of any." One of the notable characteristics of Elder Frost's ministry was the conscientiousness with which he filled his preaching appointments. It is said that in a ministry of nearly fifty years he never disappointed more than one or two congregations. He was also a great believer in prayer, and had a firm and abiding faith that if God had called him to preach his everlasting gospel he would take care of his family while he was doing it. At one time he had an engagement to begin work in the destitute regions of Kentucky. When the time came for him to leave borne to go to his appointment, his youngest child was very sick. His companion hung on his neck and wept sorely, beseeching him not to go. It was a sore

trial for him to leave home under the circumstances, but, kissing the child and taking leave of his wife, he rode away with great heaviness of heart. He had gone only a little way, however, when his burden of anxiety had left him and he felt assured that his child would get well. The child was better from that same hour, and soon recovered. With all his seriousness and prevalent sobriety of manner, Elder Frost had in him a vein of droll humor which sometimes cropped out unexpectedly. Seeing a Baptist preacher, in time of the Civil War, carrying a gun on his shoulder, he gave his preacher brother a mild and good-natured rebuke by telling him, he "didn't like to see a minister of the gospel carrying a gun, going about to kill people." As already mentioned, Elder Frost had gone to see his children in Illinois. He had finished his visit and had a desire to meet with the Clinton Association once more, especially since the meeting was to be with his home church, Zion. He was arranging for his return home, and it was only a week to the set time for his homecoming, when he was stricken with paralysis, which resulted in his death, July 30, 1865. He died at the home of his youngest son, Paul C. Frost, tenderly cared for. He wanted to return to his Tennessee home, but by the Father's appointment he went to his better home on high. v. vi. vii. viii. ix.

Notes for Jane (Jean) Graves: [2905146.FTW] There was -- for some time -- doubt about the pedigree of JaneGraves, wife of John Coffey. After research by Coffeedescendants, the descent that is believed to be correct is:Capt. Thomas Graves; Francis Graves, born about 1630 and diedcirca 1691; John Graves, b. before 1678, died 1720 in Essex Co.,VA; and Jane Graves, born between 1701-05, m. John Coffey. On page 140 of the 1980 Graves Family Newsletter is thestatement, "Some authorities think Francis married an unknownfirst wife, leaving descendants living in Essex County prior tohis marriage in 1678 to the widow Jane Maguffey." Since Franciswas about 48 years of age when he married Jane Maguffey, it iscertainly reasonable to think he had been married before thatand had one or more children. In a letter to Kenneth V. Graveson 29 February 1984, Mrs. Sue Davis of Benton, Arkansas wrote:"John shouldn't be listed as a child of Jane Maguffey. He was bya first wife." Sue Davis was a very thorough researcher, and didmuch outstanding and reliable research on the Graves family. Jane Graves was probably born about 1701-05. Her name was givenas Jean in her father's

will (?), but the names Jean and Janewere often used interchangeably. She married John Coffey, son ofEdward Coffey (or Coffee) and Ann Powell, probably about 1728,in Essex County, Virginia. Edward died testate in Essex Countyand a probate was opened 20 March 1716, naming sons John andEdward, both under age 16, son Austin (although there is apossibility this is a daughter Austis or Austes), and daughtersMartha, Ann, and Elizabeth. John died testate in 1775 inAlbemarle Co., Va., naming his wife as Jean. (Incorrectinformation is shown in The Abridged Compendium of AmericanGenealogy, vol. 3, p. 464.) We known that John was born no earlier than 1700 in EssexCounty, Virginia since he was under 16 when his father died.John and wife Jane Graves Coffey lived in Spotsylvania Countyuntil 1747. Unfortunately, many of the Spotsylvania Countyrecords were destroyed during the Civil War. In 1747, the familymoved to Albemarle County, when John died in March 1775. It has been believed by some that Jane and John had anotherdaughter, Martha Elizabeth Coffey, who married John Cleveland.However, that is not correct. Elizabeth Coffey, daughter ofEdward Coffey and sister of John Coffey, is the one who marriedJohn Cleveland. This couple lived most of their lives at BlueRun, Orange Co., Va., and had several famoussons, most notablyCol. Benjamin Cleveland of Revolutionary War fame. Also, at least one source states that John Cleveland was born1701, died 1786, and married Martha about 1720. These dateswould have made it impossible for Martha to be a daughter ofJane and John. Mr. Coffey (R-522) has concluded (after thoroughexamination of the evidence) that John Cleveland was born 31July 1714 in Gloucester Co., Va., died in Nov. 1778 in Blue Run,Orange Co., Va., and married Elizabeth Coffey on 20 April 1734.She was born about 1714 in Essex Co., Va. The first 6 children listed below were born in Essex Co., Va.,Reuben was born in either Essex of Spotsylvania Co., andBenjamin was born in Spotsylvania Co., Va. Further information on Jane Graves and John Coffey and all theirknown descendants is given in James Bluford Coffey, HisAncestors and Descendants in America, vol. II, by Marvin D.Coffey, 1984. However, as an aid to people trying to connect tothis ancestor, the next 4 generations after Jane and John Coffeyare given in this book also.

First while living in the area that is now BurkeCounty, North Carolina, he did volunteer on April 1, 1776 andserved five months. He was sent to the frontier, to scout and tohelp build Crider's Fort,

because of "mischief being done by theCherokee Indians." In 1984, the site of Crider's Fort is LenoirHigh School in Caldwell County, North Carolina. The second toserve was after the moved to Wilkes County in 1780. Benjamin Coffey's family then moved over to Wilkes County, NorthCarolina. They may have been living there as early as November2, 1779, Benjamin's name was marked through on a deed that wasmade on that date. On March 9, 1870, there was a landtransaction from Lawrence Ross to Benjamin Coffey. While livingin Wilkes County in 1780, Benjamin volunteered again and thistime he served seven months. Benjamin was at the famous "Battle of Kings Mountain" on October7, 1780, as were several of his kinfolk, among them,brothers-in-law, Robert Whiteside and Mastin Durham and nephews,Reuben, Ambrose and Ely Coffey. His colonel, Benjamin Cleveland,was his cousin. Cleveland's parents were John Cleveland andElizabeth Coffey. Elizabeth was the youngest daughter of EdwardCoffey and Ann Powell. Because Benjamin Coffey had lost his horse the evening beforethe battle and had to join the foot soldiers, he did not do anyfighting in the battle that took place on Kings Mountain. Thefighting was over by the time the infantry reached the battlescene. Benjamin was sent to guard the prisoners taken in theBattle ofKings Mountain on their march to Moravian Town,"whereby, he developed pains inhis ankles". He was furloughedhome for the duration of the war. Benjamin Coffey and family lived in that part of Wilkes Countythat is now Caldwell County, North Carolina for nearly thirtyyears. He sold a one hundred acre tract of land on December 15,1808 for $1,200.00 in Wilkes County, that tract of land wasconveyed to him October 6, 1785. Benjamin also received a grantfrom the state of North Carolina dated December 24, 1798 forland on the South Fork of the Yadkin River called Miller'sCreek. There were several land transactions for Benjamin in WilkesCounty.

Notes for Joseph Frost, Sr.: [NancyFrost.ged] HISTORY OF FROST OF ALABAMA Early legends handed down by researchers of the FROST Family That finally Settled in Alabama, indicates that they immigrated to Virginia from Wales. The first records that we have uncovered which could be in our direct line was that of a John FROST who was recorded on 25 October 1675 as living on his property near the head of Captain Hatton's Creek, west branch of the Elizabeth River, Norfolk County, VA. There are earlier records of Frost's in Virginia, but the name "John" was prevalent in our family for many generations. Our first Frost ancestor that we can tie to directly is probably Joseph. Although there has been much research accomplished to date, we are aware that one vital bit of documentation is still missing, and that is a will or probate record for Joseph. Hopefully future generations will have an interest in pursuing this research. Joseph FROST (15-1) (Wife unknown) Joseph was born about 1710, but the location is unknown as is the name of his wife. We do know, however, that he was one of the earliest settlers in what was to become Amhurst County in the vicinity of the headwaters of the James River, a few miles from the present City of Lynchburg, Virginia. Joseph claimed land before 1753 on the west side of the James on "Frost's Branch" which he no doubt named for his family. This area was in Albemarle County until 1761 when it became Amhurst. It wasn't until 22 March 1763 that 170 acres on Frost's Branch was surveyed, and patent was finally issued 26 July 1765, about 13 years after he settled there. This record is found in the Virginia State Archives at Richmond in Patent Book 26, P. 796. A patent for a second tract of 50 acres was not issued until 29 Dec. 1788, 22 years after it was surveyed on 25 February 1765. This is an example of how long a pioneer might have to wait for a title to land that he had settled and claimed. There was no records for the sale of Joseph's property, and neither has a will or probate record surfaced that would shed light on his family. Joseph Jr., however, has an established record for his service as a soldier during the American Revolution, and was granted a pension, for which he applied late in life after his move to Cole County, Illinois. In his application he stated that he was born in Amhurst Co., VA in 1753. The fact that he used Jr. after his surname indicated that his father was also probably Joseph, the same one who received his first patent in Amhurst when the younger Joseph was ten years old. Research shows no other Frost's of record in this area at that time.

Joseph's two older sons, Thomas and John, bought a parcel of land across the river from their Fathers' property from Charles Lynch on the east side of the James River, in Bedford County. This transaction took place on 25 June, 1765. The brothers divided this parcel, Thomas taking 60 acres, and John 300 acres. This property was located on both sides of Burnt Bridge Creek, where they both lived until about 1776 when they moved to Washington County, Virginia, in the year it was formed. On 7 March, 1776, they both sold their land on Evy and Burnt Bridge Creek in Bedford County. Their Brother Simeon appears to have preceded them to the North Fork of the Holston River, in 1769. Between 1771 and 1779, land records show that Joseph's sons Thomas, John, Joseph Jr., Simeon and Samuel acquired fourteen parcels of land totaling 2027 Acres in area of the North Fork of the Holston River. Henry Brooks who married Joseph Frost's daughter Rachel 23 March 1778 in Bedford County, where they were neighbors of the Frost family, moved with his parents and family to the same area in Washington County, VA. It was interesting for us to learn that John FROST was a Baptist Minister, and performed the marriage of Anna BROOKS to Joseph FROST Jr. in 1786, and Lynch Brooks to Lucy Hawkins in 1788. Anna and Lynch were sister and brother to Henry. John Frost built his Baptist Church in Washington County in 1785, which was still standing according to our last report. NOTE: Much of our Frost family information comes from the research files of V. Vern Hutchison, 1341 S.Osage, Bartlesville, OK 79003, and a book in our library titled "Benjamin Frost, a Texan from Tennessee" by Ruth Hollar Rickaway, who descends from Thomas. Their research shows that the Reverend John FROST married Samuel Frost to Mary Dickenson 24 Sept. 1795; Edward Frost to Amilla Roberts 3 Oct. 1791; Hannah FROST to Boyce Guttry 27 Jan. 1795, all in Washington Co., VA.

Children of Joseph Frost and (Mrs. are: i. John Frost, born Unknown; died Unknown in Boonesboro, Kentucky. Notes for John Frost: [NancyFrost.ged] Source: Snyder E. Roberts research notes: Rev. John Frost was licensed to preach in Washington Co. VA in 1780, and performed many marriages there. After moving to Washington Co., TN, he erected the Frost Meeting House, and represented that Church in the organizational meeting of the Holston Baptist Association on the 4th Saturday in October, 1786, which was the first Baptist Assoc. in present - TN. He followed his brother, Thomas, Sr. to Anderson County and by 1797 the Frosts and others had erected the Chestnut Ridge Baptist Church (on present-day

Edgemoor Road) which was the first associational baptist church in present Anderson County. Records are not extant of Rev. John performing any marriages in Anderson Co., but by 1810 he had moved to Cumberland Co., KY. Source: Morris & Glenda Painter Family Legend: Two brothers John and Thomas came from Wales to America in 1750 landing on Long Island. Since Thomas isn't established yet, I'll save his stoty or later. John and Thomas migrated down through Pennsylvania (where Thomas Got married) to Virginia. The first Virginian records of him are in Amherst and Bedford Counties in 1765. He was in Washington County in 1776. He was one of the first four Baptist preachers licensed in Virginia. He lived in Amherst, Bedt~rd and Washington Counties of Virginia. He lived in that part of Washington County that became Lee County. He lived in Washington, Knox, Anderson, and Roan Counties ofTennessee. While in Virginia, John was veiny outspoken on the need for missionaries on the frontier. This was at a time when the newly formed Baptist Association would like to keep all the preachers "home" and maintain a. low profile. He became somewhat of a circuit rider and made trips into Tennessee to preach the gospel. As I said this afternoon, his first church was on Cherokee Creek (I don't know if a building was ever erected) but it was broken up by an Indian uprising. John, Thomas, their entire families, and many of their friends moved to Tennessee in 1794 or 95. Some time between 1800 and 1810 the Frost Clan of Tennessee started to break up. John moved to Boonesboro Kentucky to start his last Church before he died. Thomas had died in 1804 and most of his family moved further westward to stay on the Tennessee frontier. Most of John's family, led by Edward Sr. and one son of Thomas's, moved into the Alabama Territoiny (which at the time was pait of the Indian territoiny of Georgia). They moved into what was later to become Madison County. Source: David Frost The reasons we feel that the Frost have always had a close relationship with the Indians (if some of us aren't actually part Indian) starts with John's ministry and his desire for missionary work. When John moved his family from Virginia to Tennessee, the distance wasn't all that great, but he left the stable safety of a state to start life on a frontier where the Indians wars had just stopped and small flare ups still occurred. While In Tennessee we know that the Frost homes were always close to an Indian village, and their given names started to have a Indian "ring" to them. (We have Snowing, White, Early, Icy and to many to list right now). It was around

1800 that the Cherokees started to move their capitol from Tennessee to Georgia. The migration of the Frost to Western Tennessee and Alabama seems to follow the migrations of the Cherokee Indian.

He went back to the Long Islands with the drove of beeves, and was permitted to return home.

He doesn't recollect when the service was except it was during the time of the revolutionary war. He was a Citizen of Amherst Co. at the time of the afore-mentioned campaign but the military was not called out and the reason he became engaged was he had received a "post" From one of his brothers then living in Bedford Co., VA and when he went to see him, he stayed with him and became engaged and stationed at Richmond part of the time and part of the time at Rockets Landing, about a mile inland. . After being discharged from this he went out once. He was marched in pursuit until they arrived at a place called Nubbins Mill (or Hill) where he was discharged service, it being thought impracticable to continue the pursuit. He nex:t entered service in Augusta Co., Va., having traveled over from Albemarle or Orange as a substitute for one John Smith in a company, commanded by Capt. Cager (or Coger), Lt. Roberson, in the year Cornwallis was captured at Yorktown (October 19, 1781). He was marched from Augusta down to Yorktown where he remained with his company till the surrender of Cornwallis. He then marched from Yorktown to Winchester in charge of the prisoners who had been captured by General Washington. After remaining at Wincnester for some time, he was discharged after being in service two more months. -

He was 78 years of age (it is stated at beginning of this statement that he was 80 years, 6 months, 19 days). He moved from Virginia to North Carolina about 55 years ago where he remained ever since. (It is stated that he was in Coles Co., Ill., at beginning of this statement)?~ He received his pension after Cal. Thomas B. Wright and Col. Mordicai Flemming swore to his character and standing as a man of integrity. Postscript to military statement: He married Mary Gobble on May 25, 17 He married Anna Brooks on July 22, 1786. Marriage performed by Rev. John Frost, probab1y his brother. His children were: Samuel, William, Joseph And Joel

Re died on December 31, 1840.

Also states that his father's name has not been proven, but strong evidence concerning land transactions indicate that Joseph FROST, one of the first property owners in Amherst Co,VA., is the father of our Thomas FROST. Revolutionary soldier, Joseph FROST states that he visited his brother in Bedford Co,VA. Since the only FROSTs living in Bedford Co. during this time were brothers Thomas & John, the supposition is that Joseph Jr. is a brother of Thomas & John. Thomas signed documents with a distinctive combination of the letter "T" & "F" rather than the normal "X" that iliterate individuals of the time would make. This distinctive mark has been of great benefit in confirming his migration and holdings in various documents in the archives. The FROST Clan were among the first to colonize Washington Co,VA. In 1795, Thomas FROST became the first known permanent settler of Anderson Co,TN. settling in Racoon Valley. Children of Thomas Frost and Sarah are: i. Elijah Frost, born 16 Jun 1762. ii. Rev.
