Bevilacqua Store:
as a child I remember going to the grocery store with my grandparents or with my mom when she would take my grandmother to the store. The store was Bevilacqua's, and at that time it was being run by the kids - particularly Camille, who was the daughter my grandmother was closer friends with, and her brother Charlie. But other kids also worked in store including Concetta and Spike. Concetta went to Beaumont High School and was in my dad's class. The store was located on the corner of Washington Blvd and Ave C, and they lived in the house behind the store. They always gave me a soda or candy and were very nice. The building and house are still there (2011) and the store is now tax preparation place.

The parents were Vincent and Concetta Bevilacqua, and were at 2490 (illeg in census but between 2450 and 2510 Park) in the 1930 census. They were immigrants from Italy in 1897, having lived in the United States for 29 years. The census shows him 56 (1874) years old and she 53 (1877) He states married at age 26 and she at age 23, calculating to 1900, but best guess is they married in Italy, before 1897.

Kautland and Eberhardt neighbors:
living next door to my grandparents were the Katulands. The Kautlands were there forever and even after my grandmother died in 1977. Their daughter Hilda Mae married Carroll Dean - he went by "Dean" - Eberhardt, and my mother was friends with her. She had a child Dennis Dean Eberhardt, who was born just before I was - he on 1 Jul 1946 and me the following Sep. 1946. Hilda made a very pretty little blue dress for me when I was still an infant, and mother had my portrait made wearing that little blue dress. I can remember playing with Dennis sometimes when I would go over to my grandparents' house. But we lost touch with them over the years.
Hilda died 7 Jan 1991. Public records show Dean remarried to Helen Carey in 1996. They were both 75.

I guess he thinks I do not deserve one. I wonder if he remembers who took care of his four little motherless boys for him. I wish you would ask Pa to let me have Andrew."

and, "I suffer a great deal of uneasiness about Stephen and Andrew."

Note:
1The Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918 killed 21 million people world-wide--more than died in World War I. It is a fascinating study of a modern Black Plague, and I am including an excerpt from the Port Arthur News dated 13 June, 1976:

"How it travelled such great distances in that autumn still baffles science. Remote Eskimo villages were discovered completely wiped out by the disease while doctors in China cried it rolled over that country like a tidal wave.
"In Boston, trading on the stock exchange went to half-days; theatres were closed; athletic contests cancelled--even a churchless Sunday was declared Sept. 22, 1918, to keep people and the disease off the streets.
"At the same time, Chicago's newly formed influenza commission called for the arrest of open-faced sneezers. But still doctors reports sadly tell of hundreds showing up at over-crowded, understaffed hospitals with coloring "blue as huckleberr." Few lived through the night.
"Continuing onto the West Coast, Seattle policemen were required to wear masks, but the sickness prevailed.
"Here in Texas, one-half of the city of San Antonio came down with the flu.
"Assuredly, each early Port Arthurian in 1918 lost at least an acquaintance, if not a friend.
"Roy McCollum, then 27-years-old, recalls being the only one in his family stricken. He said he remembers being in bed, ("The only place I felt like being,") and watching an undertaker walk past his window.
"'I remember thinking how much business this flu had brought him and the next day I heard he came down with it and died that night,' McCollum stated."

Notes:

According to the Organization of the First Christian Congregation, his name was Mayberry, shortened to Mabry or Mabra, but spelled "Mabarie" by Margaret Ann Butts Cooley.

A blacksmith by trade, came to Texas in 1844. 1852 probably time that Loveladys and Jones moved over into Dewitt County on the Manahurla Minnuvee Creek, also called Buzzard Roost Country.
Olive Massie stated that he had "served as county judge of Gonzales for several years"(?)

Jones Family Reunion of 1901
Father and Seven Children Meet in Waco After a Separation of 35 Years

The Convention of the Christian Church in this city last week furnished the occasion for a family reunion which was enjoyed with intense delight by the participants.
Mabra Madden Jones, who lives near Palestine, Texas met seven of his children in this city and the father, brothers, and sisters spent the week together. It was the first time they had all been together since 1866, thirty-five years ago. Atat time the youngest was only six years old and the oldest was twenty-five. All had seen each other since that time but at different times and places.
The elder Jones is eighty-one years old and his children, seven in number, all live in Texas, but in different parts are as follows:
Dr. George W Jones of Proctor, Texas
Mrs. Sue M. Linthicum, 618 Earle St, East Waco
Mrs. Mary M. Moore, 1102 Columbus St, Waco
Cyrus Y. Jones, 575 Orleans St, Beaumont, Tx
Stephen L. Jones, 701 So. 17th St, Waco
Andrew P. Jones, Helbig, Jefferson Co, Texas
Henry M Jones, Palestine, Tx

Mabra Madden Jones, father of the five sons and two daughters named above, was born in Kentucky, in 1820. He moved to Missouri and in 1840 was married to Miss Sarah Lovelady, daughter of Elder James Lovelady. In 1844 he removed to Texas staying in Cass Co. until 1847, when he proceeded to Victoria, only a few months after the Indians made their last famous raid to the coast country and burned Linnville, five miles south of Victoria. He soon accumulated some capital at the blacksmith business and invested in cattle, establishing a ranch in Goliad Co. His first wife, Sarah, the mother of these seven children, died in DeWitt Co. in 1860 and in 1863 he married Miss Martha Ponton in Lavaca Co. Nine children blessed this union, seven of whom are still living.
At the close of the war between the States, the children of the first marriage separated and while they all remained in Texas; some of them are now living four hundred miles apart. They have occasionally visited each other, and all have visited their father; though this is the first reunion of the family. The father and the eldest son had not seen one another in twenty-four years. George, Cyrus and Henry had not seen one another in twenty-six years. All the others had not met in the last ten years.
The week had been passed in one continual and unbroken round of pleasure in which grand children and great grand children participated.
The father and seven children were photographed in a group and another interesting group was made with the Elder M.M. Jones, his daughter, Mrs. S.M. Linthicum, her daughter, Mrs. Runie M. Moore, and Mrs. Moore's daughter, Miss Ollie representing four generations.
The reunion will adjourn today, but the family recorded a pledge that if possible it shall be repeated every year in the future.

Notes:

(From Leonard B Meyer)
July 24, 1997
Dear Sherry Sharp:

Your letter came yesterday, and some material from Wilma came today. I told my wife Ruth that it seems I have acquired another fan in Wilma, that making two, Ruth being the other one! I am glad that what I have contributed is appreciated,d I appreciate what I have received also.

Perhaps I should make it clear how I acquired this much information regarding such a limited time span. A few years ago, I got possession of a bunch of old letters and documents far long enough to transcribe them by hand, into three bindef legal paper. I started out trying to learn more about the Butts family from which I am descended, and from there the search proliferated into the Lovelady, Bownds (Bounds?) and other families.

My great-grandfather, Jackson Butts, married Jane Lovelady as his first wife. She died August 31, 1847. He married a second wife, Catherine Poland, who died within a year or so, then in 1852 he married Susan Bownds who was my great-grandm. So, you see, there is no blood relationship between me and the Loveladys, except for Jackson's oldest daughter Margaret Ann, who was Jane's only survivor who had children. But Pappy Lovelady wrote to Jackson and Susan as son and daughter, Mary Jones addressed her as "beloved aunt," and Stephen wrote to my grandfather as "Cousin Berry."

I think there is no doubt that the Loveladys, Buttses, and Joneses were in Victoria County in 1844, as one of Jackson's sons, Andrew, appears as born in Texas about that time. Also I have a copy of a handwritten receipt which goes "Receif Jackson Butts the sum of five dollars in full of his state and county tax for the year 1849 - F.U. Fordham, Ass & Coll, V.C., Victoria County."

Also, Ann, the youngest Lovelady girl, married Alfred Allee November 4, 1847. And I have a copy of the Bill of Sale of the home of James Lovelady to Edward Fink, Lot #1, Block 117, Range 8, Victoria, April 24, 1852.

In the statement in the summation sent by Wilma regarding the organization of the First Christian Congregation in Victoria, about James and Nancy being on the board, there is a little error. Those named, James and Nancy, Jackson, Sarah any Jones, A. Allee (Ann had already died) and perhaps Felix Webb, were the whole congregation!

It must have been in 1852 that the Loveladys and Joneses moved over into Dewitt County on the Manahurla Minnuvee Creek, also called Buzzard Roost Country.

There was quite a lot of communication between the Joneses and Butts families in the '50s. In 1860, George was going to school in Goliad. A letter from Mary goes thus: "We are all about to leave this country. Pap (James) and Grandmaf going to the mountains. They have sold their cattle." There seems to have been a terrible drought that caused many people to leave that area. Added in a postscript at the beginning of the letter is "I have got the sweetest little brother. He can sit alone. He is as fat as a pig." That must have been Henry at several months old; and it is apparent that Sarah must have died soon after Henry's birth. So my date of 1860 must be an error of reading an indistinct date.

So, Mabry and Mary, and perhaps others moved to Terryville, on the line between Dewitt and Lavaca Counties. But Susan Mariah must have married to A Wiggins and was still living at Middletown or Weesatche. Susan later lived at Hoss Bluffrty County and urged George to come out there, as that area needed a doctor and singing school teacher. But that was in 1872, after the war! Instead, he seems to have married Frances Bosworth and was living near Schulenburg in Lavaca County. From there, in connection with the Bosworth family, we find him living up in Central Texas, Red Rock, Pettytown, maybe San Saba and finally Stephenville. He and Frances are buried in West End Cemetery, Stephenville, Erath Co, Texas.

I have no date for Mary's marriage, but she and Mr. Norton moved to Oak Hill near LaGrange, Texas. After several years, they moved to North Texas, then moved back. Mary was living in Burleson County about 1914. According to the reuni, Mary had married a Moore, and Sue had married a Linthicum.

Mary never had any children (by choice), and I am of the opinion that the friction between her and Mabry was because she married and did not continue to take care of his "four little motherless boys" as she put it. Anyway, she tried toe of the boys, as George and Sue did. Mabry farmed the boys out at times, some of them to my great-grandmother Susan. But the 1870 Census reveals that Stephen and Andrew were living with Mabry and Martha then, as well as daughter Nancy and Nellie (b 1864 & 1868) and the 1880 lists a son Joel A, born November 28, 1874.

I am confused about the children of Martha listed as being born in Chambers Co, after Nancy (Nannie) and Nellie, also Joel A. I know nothing about Laura, Tom, Anna, Alice and John, but those named above were in the 1870 and 1880 Lavaca Cos records and must have been in Lavaca Co at that time. Also, it is a matter of record that Mabry officiated at the wedding of his father-in-law, Dr. Joel Ponton, to Harriet Koonce on October 1, 1871, near where I now live in Lavaca Co. However, it may well explain Stephen's reference to having been to Beaumont on one occasion.

Incidentally, I have noticed that Mabry and Sarah had a daughter Nancy J, born 1848, next after Sue. About the name ---- in the document about the Organization of the First Christian Congregation, the name is Mayberry, which no doubt is t, shortened to Mabry usually, but spelled Mabarie by Margaret Ann Butts Cooley.

I have just been checking the list of Mabry's children and the dates given for their births seems to have been made from a faulty memory. Assuming, I think correctly, that the three families came to Texas in 1844, it seems obvious that Ge841 and Mary 1843 were born in Missouri, but there is some doubt about Susan 1846 and Nancy 1848, though I think they were born in Texas. But Cyrus 1852, Stephen 1854, Andrew 1857, were born in Texas because the document of the Organization of the First Christian Congregation in Victoria has the names of M.M. and Sarah, date of March 28, 1849. Henry was not listed in the census of 1860, so his birth date 1863 is probably correct. It is on record that Cyrus Jones was in Goliad Co in 1870, age 18, seemingly living with relatives after the breakup of the Jones family. But in a letter from Mary she wrote that Susan Mariah (Margaret Ann Butts spelled Mariar) wrote that Mr. Wiggins had "joined the church" and that Cyrus intended to. I wonder if this Cyrus was one of the Wiggins children. In this letter Mary complains that Mabry had George and Susan a brother to keep, but had refused to give her one.

As far as I had known previously, Margaret Ann, Jackson's daughter, Sue Wiggins, and George were the only Lovelady descendents, and I am glad to find there were others. I have been trying to find some of the Jones descendents for some ythout success.

I was born, not many miles from where the Joneses and the Loveladys lived, in Goliad County, at a later date, Dec 7, 1906. From that you will notice that I will be 91 on my next birthday. My handwriting has deteriorated considerably spied these letters.

I am sending this information for you to consider, before I send any copies. I will have to go through the letters to find some that will illustrate what I have written. But as I wrote Wilma, I have three binders full of writings, ant want to let them get away, possibly in the mail. I have suggested that Ron Lehde, who lives in Victoria, copy those he wants to, but she/Wilma reports that his copier is in need of repair. Since Sherry Sharp has a son John in Houston, I might make the same offer to him. Or I might leave the material at my son's place, 30211 Charlie Lane, Magnolia, Texas 77355. Maybe something can be arranged.
Sincerely,
Leonard B. Meyer

Notes:

There have been many variations of his middle name,Brookway, Blockman, several other spellings. In reserching various Shermans/Stebbins for Richard's family, there was a collateral family named Brockway. I'm betting this was the source of his name. There was also a Lothrop family marrying into the Brockway family - in fact, there was a Lathrop Brockway. This is same Lothrop/Lathrop family of Jane Lothrop who married Samuel Fuller whose daughter married Nicholas Bonham, who we believe is our Catharine Bonham Madden's ancestor. It may turn out we're doubly related to Samuel Fuller if we could find Richard Sherman's exact connection.


Civil War - Lothrop enlisted August 7, 1863 in Captain Thomas A. Wooten's Company B, Texas State Troops Cavalry. He was 38 years old at the time he entered the company as a private.

August 1855. Mary was born 18 October 1835 in Tennessee and died 30 September 1889 in Chambers County, Texas. She is buried in the Eminence Cemetery. She was the daughter of John and Susan (Shelton) Kirk, and the widow of (?) Fairas, possibly P. J. Fairas who died 29 July 1851. Lothrop and Mary's daughter Amanda Petronella Sherman was born 15 October 1863 in Chambers County and died 14 December 1918 in Beaumont. She married Andrew Prather Jones on 16 November 1882 in Chambers County. He died on 9 June 1929 in Beaumont. Both are buried in the Magnolia Cemetery in Beaumont. Andrew was the son of Mabra Madden and Sarah (Lovelady) Jones.

"Jacob Haven Sherman Sr.'s seventh child was Lothrop Blookway Sherman. Lothrop arrived in present day Chambers County in 1854 and married Mary in 1855. Since she was a widow, she had separate funds. On 28 October 1856, Mary paid $30 for the purchase of 1/4 of a league of the Shadrack Burney survey from Tabitha Jane Shelton Jones. This became their home place. By 1860, Lothrop had cleared and improved 131 acres, with 93 acres left to clear. That year it was reported he owned one horse, one mule, one milk cow, eight working oxen, twenty cows, five sheep and twenty head of swine. He harvested one hundred and fifty bushel of Indian corn, eleven bales of cotton, fifty pounds of wool, three hundred bushels of sweet potatoes, and three hundred gallons of wine. After farming their homestead for seven years, Lothrop heard the patriotic call of the Civil War at the age of 38. He left Mary, who was seven months pregnant (with Amanda) and their three small children, and enlisted on 7 August 1863 in Captain Thomas A. Wooten's Company B, Texas State Troops Cavalry. He entered the company as a private. Lothrop returned safely home from the war to once again farm his land and to live another twenty-five years with his loving supportive wife."

Name:
Name: Lothrop -- apparently named for the Lothrop family who married into the Fuller family -- i.e. Mayflower descendants.

Brockway -- seen many spellings of this name - Blockway, Brookway, Blookway -- and others. Blockway is a family name that married into the Stebbins line beginning back 4 generations from Rebecca, a Bridget Blockway. Quite reasonably the source of the name.

(letter in files at Heritage Park)
War Record of A.C. Shelton.

Your father and my grandfather both fought for the Republic of Texas and through the Mexican War. Was in the battle of San Jacinto and a great many others both the Mexicans and Indians and when Mexico wanted to take back a part of the tery form the Rio Grande to Geudelupe. General Zaichery Taylor got a regiment and fought them clear back into Mexico. But he told his men when they were ready to cross the Rio Grande all that had families could go back, so grandfather returned. But your father went right on and fought in the battle of Monterey and wanted to go straight on, but the Government took part of General Taylors men and sent them around by boat to General Scott. So General Taylor and his men turned north, conquered New Mexico and lower California and on their return buried the bones of some of the American soldiers who had been way laid and killed. Then there was a lull in fighting until the war between the States.

When the Federals slipped in and took Galveston everything was aroused. A.C. Shelton was on the job and was made a leiutenant under Capt. Richard Dowling. General Magruda in Charge. They recaptured Galveston and had to hold if for months he Federals went around and thought they would come in through Sabine Pass. A.C. Shelton was sent to hold the Pass with 40 men, and they sank and captured their boats as fast as they entered and the Federals gave that up. That was considered the most brilliant defeat of any battle of the army and Jefferson Davis awarded the company a gold in honor of the occasion. Then A.C. Shelton was in the battle of Pleasant Hill and Mansfield La.
Now I hope this will be as much consolation to you as it has been a pleasure to me to write it. You and your daughters can all go in the Daughters of the Republic, also the U.D.C. if you are not already members. I am a member of both. Wn on your Father's record in U.D.C. and my Grandfather's D.R.T. so come on.


Family Tree
Washington Shelton, Son and Wife,
Annie, Payne, Shelton settled in Murry Co, Tenn. Shelton is Scotch. Payne is Irish and Wilson is Welch. I presume that is the Great Grand parents. Grandfather Shelton settled in Tenn. Had born to them 8 children in all they were all d in that state. Two of the daughters married and remained there. Aunt Kiziah and Aunt Polly. My Grandmother Susan came to Texas with the family also Uncle Washington. Father of Tom, Amos, George, and others. Uncle Amos your father. Aunt Maria Carraway, Aunt Tibitha Jones mother of Barton, Lura, Annie, and Irene. Aunt Marha who married a Wallis reared 3 sons. Dan, Frank, and Robert. Then a Mr. Hartwell reared 2 sons and one daugher. Will, Albert, Roxie.
The Sheltons first settled in San Augustine lived there about 3 years moved to Nacogdoches. Was there at the time of the Battle of San Jacinto, remained there 3 or 4 years and moved to Chambers Co. All but my Grandmother first married a Kirk. He was killed at the Battle of San Jacinto. She was left with 2 babies one just an infant, died at 2 or 3 months of age. Kirk was Aunt Mary Sherman's father.
Aunt Maria Carraway and her husband settled at Neches. Reared 2 sons and one daughter. Jeff is the only name I know. He died and she married a Mr. Nelson, they reared 8 boys and 2 girls but I don't know but 2 names among them. Dwight n Houston two years ago. Cousin Robert Willis told the other name. Clinton a Doctor. That was in 1910. Cousin Robert told me if I could get in touch with you I could add something to what he told me, and also referred me to Uncle Washing's older daughter Mrs. C.F. Jones who he said lived near Stephensville, Earth Co. But he could not give her rural no. so I never did write to her. He said she was older than he so I don't suppose there is any use trying now. I have Cousin Roberts old letter here by me copying what I can from it. And I did the same for him. He has forgotten all he wrote to me. He also referred me to Irene Fulks, but she is another one I never did get in touch with as well as your own dear self. So now dear, I hope you get something out of this anyway. Now I am going to take a clear sheet of paper and write your Father's war record on a clean page.
So bye.

Sherry, I sent some things to your personal e-mail. I did not know Susanna had a child with William Kirk, so I would love to have the descendants of this marriage. I do not know who the Sherman family is. Can you explain their connection? There may be children in the second marriage of Susanna and John James Farrir, but I do not have that either. I have mostly concentrated on Martha Wilson Shelton, my direct ancestor, but I am interested in anything I can get on her siblings also.

I hope I have given you something to carry your research forward. Check your personal e-mail when you get this.

Shadrack Burney 1831

Shadrack Burney (by Kevin Ladd http://www.sfasu.edu/heritagecenter/8482.asp)

Shadrack Burney was born about 1789 in North Carolina and is usually referred to as one of the earliest settlers of this area. A Shadrack Bur-ney appears in 1792 as the grandson of a Simon Burney, whose will was probated in Greene County, Georgia Most sources give his date of arrival as 1823. When the family of E. H. R. and Sarah (Barrow) Wallis settled at Wallis Hill in the winter of 1824-1825, they found only two bachelors living in that section. Family tradition holds that one of the two was Burney. The other was a Mr. Arnold, although no records have ever provided any more information about him. The 1826 census of the Atascosito District lists him as a farmer and stockraiser and also indicates he had previously resided in Louisiana before coming to Texas. His survey, located on the north side of Turtle Bay (Lake Anahuac) was bordered on the west by the E.H.R. Wallis Survey and on the north and east by the M. A. Carroll Survey. His title was dated April 24, 1831. His name does not appear in any local records after that date. One record refers to Burney as a former associate of the pirate/privateer Jean Laffite. The only landmark that links this early settler to the land is Burney Gully.

Hi Sherry,
Hope all is well with you and family.
Sandy and I are currently in Salt Lake City and so you now know what we've been doing.
I found Stephen Jones, finally. He and a couple sons did move to Contra Costa County, CA in 1853. He's on the 1860 census and he died in 1863 at the age of 71. Found his grave too and now have his birth and death date.
According to what I found, he lived in Henry Co. KY, then Harrison Co. IN for a short while, then to Meade Co. KY about 1822 until 1836, then to Scott Co. IL for two years, then to Platte Co. MO until 1844, then back to Scott Co. IL until 1853. Still haven't found Mariah, but I assume she died in Meade Co. KY. She is not on the 1840 Platte Co. census. Also found Stephen and the Loveladys and the Linvilles on an 1839 Platte Co. tax list.
Been hard at work trying to find Stephen's beginning too, but still have not found them.
We're stopping at Iowa City to see Becky on the way back and I'll write with more when we get back next week.
TIll then,
John

JOHN W. JONES. - This much respected old pioneer, the subject of our sketch was born in Henry county, Kentucky, January 28, 1822. When but an infant his parents moved to Harrison county, Indiana, and after a short residence there removed to Meade County, Kentucky, where he was educated at the common schools, and resided until fourteen years of age. In 1836 he moved west to Scott County, Illinois where he resided for two years, and then moved to Platte County, Missouri, where he engaged in farming until the Spring of 1844. He then spent the next three years in boating on the Mississippi river, and in 1847 again settled in Scott county, Illinois where he resided until March 1853, when, with ox-teams, and accompanied by his wife and family, he started to cross the plains to the Golden State; after a trip of six months he arrived at his brother's place (Thomas) in Lafayette, Contra Costa county, where he remained the first year, and in October, 1855, bought his present valuable place, consisting of three hundred and ten acres one mile southwest of Walnut Creek, where he is engaged in general farming and stock-raising. Mr. Jones was united in marriage in Exeter, Illinois, May 30, 1852, to Miss Martha J. Arnold,, a native of Tennessee, by which union they have one son: Henry T.

Died:
Stephen Jones (1795-1863) was married to Mariah Madden. She died bef 1840 in Illinois; and in 1853 Stephen traveled to Lafayette with his son John W. Jones to meet up with John W's brother, Thomas Jones, who was already there. Stephen, and several of the family are buried in Lafayette Cem (as indicated below).

If you are researching this family, or if you are a descendant, I would love to trade info with you, and more importantly, meet you. I descend from another of Stephen's sons, Mabra Jones, who had traved to South Texas and settled in Victoria Co, about 1845.

Also, if anyone is local to this cemetery and would be willing to snap a few digital pictures, I would very much greatly appreciate some pictures of these headstones - particularly Stephen Jones as he is my 3rd g-grandfather.The

I've ID'd most of the Joneses listed, but these following names I do not have:
Elizabeth Jones

Miriam Adelaide Jones is possibly who I have listed as Marion Jones, dau of Henry Turner
Nathanial Jones

___________________________
Two Madden cousins were also with the Joneses in Lafayette
-- Mabra Madden (b 1829 m Maggie Shafer) and Richard Madden (b 1838, m Emma Southard), sons of two of Mariah Madden Jones' brothers.

The Lafayette Cemetery has listed three Madden graves, one being William T Madden, an 8-month old son of Richard and Emma. The other two I do not know who they are, Jerry Madden (d 6 Apr 1948) and Johannah Madden (d 15 Dec 1933).

Looking forward to hearing from anyone interested in this family! :)

Subject: RE:

Well, we know that she died after her last child was born 1834 and before the 1839 tax list of Platte Co. MO.

My guess is that the family moved from Meade to Scott IL after her death, then to Platte and then back to Scott.

If she died at Scott Co. IL, there is no marker, yet everyone else who died there has a headstone.

Really doubt that she got as far as Platte and there are poor records at Meade. So just my guess, but that's where I think she's buried.

Which mean that she probably died between 1834 and 1837? Or was that 1836 when they went to Scott for the first time?

(July 1997)

James Lovelady was a minister of the Christian Church (restoration movement, known as Cambellites - Karl Kiser). James and Nancy removed from White County, Tennessee, with other members of their family to Missouri by 1831, where James helped to organize the Salem Christian Church in Platte Co, Missouri. The family was in Victoria County, Texas by 1845, when James and Nancy were on the Board of the First Christian Church. James and Nancy had three children, all daughters.
(1.) Jane (married Jackson Butts on 29 Jan 1835, in Jackson Co., Missouri);
(2.) Sarah (married M. M. Jones and died in DeWitt County, Texas, in 1860); and
(3.) Ann (married A. Lee on 4 Nov 1847, in Victoria County, Texas).
Sadly, all three of James and Nancy's daughters died relatively young. However, they remained on close terms with their sons-in-law.

the following provided by Mary Ehlers, 3665 N. Bond, Fresno CA 93726:
James was born 1790-1800 according to 1840 Census (Platte Co, Missouri), married Nancy; died in Texas after 1880 when he was listed in the household of grandson George Jones in San Saba County.
James was in Missouri by 1831 when he and wife Nancy, with William Bowers and wife Catherine, deeded land to Thomas Linville. (see notes of Nancy Linville Lovelady).

Our local library has "Missouri Miscellany". It is nothing more than a hodgepodge of genealogical items that some publisher threw together into a series of volumes. From Volume I, Woodruff, 1976:
"24 Dec 1831, William Bowers and Catherine, his wife & James Lovelady and Nancy, his wife, to Thomas Linville sum of $120.00, E 1/2 of SW Quarter of Section 36, Township 50, Range 33, 80 acres. Witness: George Manship J.P., Rec 31 May 1832 Jackson County, MO)

This is all there is and probably would not be considered a 'source' as it does not give any other details like a deed would.

Thank you very much for your assistance.
______________________
The Salem Christian Church, Platte Co, Missouri, was organized 31 Dec 1837. Among its constituent members were James Lovelady, an Elder, and his wife Nancy. He was a minister of the Christian Church. By 1845 he was in Victoria, Texas, where was on the Board of Directors of the First Christian Congregation with Nancy Lovelady and Jackson Butts. He and his wife Nancy are shown on the 1860 Census (Dewitt Co, Texas)

1820 Smith Co , TN-
James (1797);
1 male under 10;
1 male 26-45 (1775-1794) (James 1797) a bit old
1 female under 10 (1810-1820) this would be Jane, but 1830 census did not show a daughter born before 1820.
1 female 16-26 (1794-1804) (Nancy 1800)

(This is not our James. It is the son of John Lovelady. He was born in 1760 and died in 1837 or so. John was the brother of Thomas Lovelady (John Reedy)

However, interesting that White Co formed from Smith Co in 1806.

1830 Missouri Census - Jackson County

1833: James Lovelady is likely to have some additional interesting details from October 1833 (Battle of Mormons or Battle of Big Blue--Kaw township, Jackson county, MO). I have not had a chance to fully follow the clues. The Mormons had a colony west of the Big Blue and there was violence because the Mormons voted in block and others took exception. A Thomas Linville was killed 31 Oct 1833. (Karl Kiser, 4 Mar 2010)

After 1860:
Letter from Mary (g-daughter) dated Dec 22, 1862 states: "He asked about Grandma & Pap (James Lovelady) he said if he knew where to write to he would write to them.... We have not heard from any of you nor Grandma and Pap."
(Nancy living in 1862)

probably between 1866-1970)
Letter from Frances (wife of George, Mary's brother, g-daughter-in-law of Loveladys) wrote from Red Rock (Central TX) in May (no further date) "Pap started down to Lavaca about two or three weeks ago. He went by Mary's. I expect he will stay there some time."
Mary was in Oak Hill, near LaGrange, TX, Oct 17th '70, per dated letter. (county?)
(This is apparently after the war as it is said that George lived in near Schulenburg in Lavaca Co. at that time, later moving to Central TX. Nancy must have died by this time.)

Residence:
Mary writes, "I had lost all trace of Pa's and George's whereabouts. I had written to Henry Shapes to know if he knew where Grandpa was. I have not received an answer."
"Mr. Dabney and Brother came by on their way home from Lyons where they had been holding a meeting. He said they had seen Grandpa and George."
Lyons is in Burleson County, but this only indicates there were at a meeting there. Perhaps they were living nearby. Frances writes a letter, estimated as 1877, stating she had "not heard from Burleson" She and George were in Red Rock and she stated that James Lovelady had left there - so, not sure who was in Burleson.


Census:
Frances living in Red Rock, dates her letter simply "May." Guessing this is about 1877. She writes to Susan Bounds Butts
"Pap started down to Lavaca about two or three weeks ago. He went by Mary's. I expect he will stay there some time. I got a letter from Mary the same day I got yours. She was well and doing well."
Leonard surmised Mary was in Burleson, but that would not be enroute from Red Rock to Lavaca. Perhaps this was after Nancy died, or perhaps it was after Mr. Norton died. Mary might have still been living near LaGrange.

Notes:

(from Mary Ehlers)
Catherine Linville Bowers and Thomas Linville were the children of a constable of White Co, Tennessee, in 1808 (sic), Thomas Linville, and his wife, Catherine. Catherine died and he married secondly Mary Ridge. He died in Missouri and his will writtn in 1836 was very simple, stating his possessions and leaving them to his wife and the youngest four children - Jeremiah, Hyram H., Andrew and Charity. Two of his older sons, Zachariah and Aaron witnessed the will. Two unnamed daughters born before 1790 are listed in "The Linville Family in America - 300th Annual Edition" by Alice Eicholz. It seems like that Nancy Lovelady was one of these daughters.

(sic) - they married in 1811 in Carter County.


(From Leonard B Meyer)
July 24, 1997
Dear Sherry Sharp:

Your letter came yesterday, and some material from Wilma came today. I told my wife Ruth that it seems I have acquired another fan in Wilma, that making two, Ruth being the other one! I am glad that what I have contributed is appreciated,d I appreciate what I have received also.

Perhaps I should make it clear how I acquired this much information regarding such a limited time span. A few years ago, I got possession of a bunch of old letters and documents far long enough to transcribe them by hand, into three bindef legal paper. I started out trying to learn more about the Butts family from which I am descended, and from there the search proliferated into the Lovelady, Bownds (Bounds) and other families.

My great-grandfather, Jackson Butts, married Jane Lovelady as his first wife. She died August 31, 1847. He married a second wife, Catherine Poland, who died within a year or so, then in 1852 he married Susan Bounds who was my great-grandm. So, you see, there is no blood relationship between me and the Loveladys, except for Jackson's oldest daughter Margaret Ann, who was Jane's only survivor who had children. But Pappy Lovelady wrote to Jackson and Susan as son and daughter, Mary Jones addressed her as "beloved aunt," and Stephen wrote to my grandfather as "Cousin Berry."

I think there is no doubt that the Loveladys, Buttses, and Joneses were in Victoria County in 1844, as one of Jackson's sons, Andrew, appears as born in Texas about that time. Also I have a copy of a handwritten receipt which goes "Receif Jackson Butts the sum of five dollars in full of his state and county tax for the year 1849 - F.U. Fordham, Ass & Coll, V.C., Victoria County."

Also, Ann, the youngest Lovelady girl, married Alfred Allee November 4, 1847. And I have a copy of the Bill of Sale of the home of James Lovelady to Edward Fink, Lot #1, Block 117, Range 8, Victoria, April 24, 1852.

In the statement in the summation sent by Wilma regarding the organization of the First Christian Congregation in Victoria, about James and Nancy being on the board, there is a little error. Those named, James and Nancy, Jackson, Sarah any Jones, A. Allee (Ann had already died) and perhaps Felix Webb, were the whole congregation!

It must have been in 1852 that the Loveladys and Joneses moved over into Dewitt County on the Manahurla Minnuvee Creek, also called Buzzard Roost Country.

There was quite a lot of communication between the Joneses and Butts families in the '50s. In 1860, George was going to school in Goliad. A letter from Mary goes thus: "We are all about to leave this country. Pap (James) and Grandmaf going to the mountains. They have sold their cattle." There seems to have been a terrible drought that caused many people to leave that area. Added in a postscript at the beginning of the letter is "I have got the sweetest little brother. He can sit along. He is as fat as a pig." That must have been Henry at several months old; and it is apparent that Sarah must have died soon after Henry's birth. So my date of 1860 must be an error of reading an indistinct date.

So, Mabry and Mary, and perhaps others moved to Terryville, on the line between Dewitt and Lavaca Counties. But Susan Mariah must have married to A Wiggins and was still living at Middletown or Weesatche. Susan later lived at Hoss Bluffrty County and urged George to come out there, as that area needed a doctor and singing school teacher. But that was in 1872, after the war! Instead, he seems to have married Frances Bosworth and was living near Schulenburg in Lavaca County. From there, in connection with the Bosworth family, we find him living up in Central Texas, Red Rock, Pettytown, maybe San Saba and finally Stephenville. He and Frances are buried in West End Cemetery, Stephenville, Erath Co, Texas.

I have no date for Mary's marriage, but she and Mr. Norton moved to Oak Hill near LaGrange, Texas. After several years, they moved to North Texas, then moved back. Mary was living in Burleson County about 1914. According to the reuni, Mary had married a Moore, and Sue had married a Linthicum.

Mary never had any children (by choice), and I am of the opinion that the friction between her and Mabry was because she married and did not continue to take care of his "four little motherless boys" as she put it. Anyway, she tried toe of the boys, as George and Sue did. Mabry farmed the boys out at times, some of them to my great-grandmother Susan. But the 1870 Census reveals that Stephen and Andrew were living with Mabry and Martha then, as well as daughter Nancy and Nellie (b 1864 & 1868) and the 1880 lists a son Joel A, born November 28, 1874.

I am confused about the children of Martha listed as being born in Chambers Co, after Nancy (Nannie) and Nellie, also Joel A. I know nothing about Laura, Tom, Anna, Alice and John, but those named above were in the 1870 and 1880 Lavaca Cos records and must have been in Lavaca Co at that time. Also, it is a matter of record that Mabry officiated at the wedding of his father-in-law, Dr. Joel Ponton, to Harriet Koonce on October 1, 1871, near where I now live in Lavaca Co. However, it may well explain Stephen's reference to having been to Beaumont on one occasion.

Incidentally, I have noticed that Mabry and Sarah had a daughter Nancy J, born 1848, next after Sue. About the name ---- in the document about the Organization of the First Christian Congregation, the name is Mayberry, which no doubt is t, shortened to Mabry usually, but spelled Mabarie by Margaret Ann Butts Cooley.

I have just been checking the list of Mabry's children and the dates given for their births seems to have been made from a faulty memory. Assuming, I think correctly, that the three families came to Texas in 1844, it seems obvious that Ge841 and Mary 1843 were born in Missouri, but there is some doubt about Susan 1846 and Nancy 1848, though I think they were born in Texas. But Cyrus 1852, Stephen 1854, Andrew 1857, were born in Texas because the document of the Organization of the First Christian Congregation in Victoria has the names of M.M. and Sarah, date of March 28, 1849. Henry was not listed in the census of 1860, so his birth date 1863 is probably correct. It is on record that Cyrus Jones was in Goliad Co in 1870, age 18, seemingly living with relatives after the breakup of the Jones family. But in a letter from Mary she wrote that Susan Mariah (Margaret Ann Butts spelled Mariar) wrote that Mr. Wiggins had "joined the church" and that Cyrus intended to. I wonder if this Cyrus was one of the Wiggins children. In this letter Mary complains that Mabry had George and Susan a brother to keep, but had refused to give her one.

As far as I had known previously, Margaret Ann, Jackson's daughter, Sue Wiggins, and George were the only Lovelady descendents, and I am glad to find there were others. I have been trying to find some of the Jones descendents for some ythout success.

I was born, not many miles from where the Joneses and the Loveladys lived, in Goliad County, at a later date, Dec 7, 1906. From that you will notice that I will be 91 on my next birthday. My handwriting has deteriorated considerably spied these letters.

I am sending this information for you to consider, before I send any copies. I will have to go through the letters to find some that will illustrate what I have written. But as I wrote Wilma, I have three binders full of writings, ant want to let them get away, possibly in the mail. I have suggested that Ron Lehde, who lives in Victoria, copy those he wants to, but she/Wilma reports that his copier is in need of repair. Since Sherry Sharp has a son John in Houston, I might make the same offer to him. Or I might leave the material at my son's place, 30211 Charlie Lane, Magnolia, Texas 77355. Maybe something can be arranged.
Sincerely,
Leonard B. Meyer

Research Notes:
Familiar relationships to help confirm Nancy Linville is a Linville - but more info is needed:

Granville Linville m Ann Adeline Johnson

Granville is brother of Harrison Linville who married Nancy Bounds.
Nancy Bounds is daughter of James* Lovelady.

Granville and Harrison's father Richard would be Nancy's uncle.

1850 census, North Carolina: Granville living with his father in law and Nancy Young 15 (b 1835) is also there.

Gan Johnson 68 1783 North Carolina
Nancy Johnson 63 1787 Tennessee
Nancy P Johnson 30 1820 Tennessee
Barnet J Johnson 21 1829 Missouri
Nancy Young 15 1835 Missouri
Granville Linville 40 1810 Tennessee
Ann A (Johnson) Linville 28 1822 North Carolina
John B Linville 7 1843 North Carolina
Washington Linville 3 1847 North Carolina
Ann M Linville 1 1849 North Carolina


Ann Johnson Linville's brother Barnet J Johnson. in 1865 Leavenworth Co, Kansas census:

B J Johnson 36 1829 freighter 21500 MO
_?_ Johnson 30 1835 KY
Robt Johnson 10 1855 KY
Lizzie Johnson 4 1861 KS
Wm Johnson 2 1864 KS
_?_ Neal 31 1834 female KS
Lottie Young 1834 31 MO
Mary Young 5 1860 MO
Jane Young 3 1862 MO

Lottie Young -- looks like she could be a widowed sister or sister-in-law and Mary and Jane nieces - or she could be Mrs. B.J. Johnson's sister

Lottie Young probably related to Nancy Young, same age, living with Gan Johnson in 1850?
or could she even be same person? (Nancy Charlotte or something?)


Duke Young, married Sarah Lovelady, another sister of James Lovelady. he named one of his sons William Johnson Young (b 1818). Johnson name must have connected to Young name, rather than Loveladys.

These Youngs in the Johnson family are likely connect to the Duke Young family somehow. Looks like Granville marrying into the Johnson family is also indirectly marrying into the Lovelady/Duke Young connection. Also, Barnett Johnson might have married into the Duke Young family as well.

research notes:
Duke Young
Granville Linville
Gan Johnson
Barnett Johnson
Nancy Linville

Research Notes:
Linville connections to the children of Thomas Lovelady and Jane Wear -- even though no conclusions this shows the strong kinship of the two families.

However, no Nancy has been found to be recorded in the Thomas Linville family. Also not sure if Linville family was in SC and/or White County TN during time frame to meet up with James Lovelady and marry in c 1815.

Notes:

1810 Census - Orford, Grafton Co, New Hampshire.

1810. The chief event this year was "Cold Friday," which occurred Jan. 19. The early part of the preceding day the weather was mild, but later a cold wind sprang up and the thermometer began to drop. The next morning the wind blew a gale and the thermometer had fallen fifty degrees. At Sanbornton the record was made of twenty-five degrees below zero and several lives were lost. The gale did much damage to timber, and the intense cold caused much suffering, but there were no fatalities in this town. The great wind increased the severity of the weather, piercing the heaviest clothing, and finding a ready entrance to the rude homes of the people. (History of Bristol, Grafton Co, NH, Vol I Annals of the Town - note: Bristol was only about 20 mi from Orford)

1811 - Mar 14 - living in Orford, Grafton Co, NH; certified that he "embraces a belief in the Religious tenets of the denomination of Christians called Methodists and does pay for the support the gospel in that order."

1814. Monday, Dec. 6, heavy shock of earthquake, continuing forty-five seconds.

1815. Spotted fever prevailed to considerable extent this year and there were many fatalities. People stricken with this disease were frequently carried off within twenty-four hours. Among the fatal cases were four children of John Favor.

1815. The great gale of Sept. 23, which did great damage in the central portion of the state, appears to have visited New Chester and Bridgewater more lightly, though much damage was done to fruit trees and buildings.

1816. Spotted fever again raged. In January, Ephraim Quimby lost six children in five days. All were buried in two graves.

1816. The first months of this year were remarkable for the small amount of snow that fell and the warm weather that prevailed, the summer months as the coldest on record in this state. Snow fell and ice formed every month of the year. June 11, two inches of snow came.{1} So great was the damage done and suffering caused that the year was called "Poverty year." Farmers made heroic efforts to save their crops, and whole nights were spent in feeding huge bonfires near the corn to keep the frost from at least a part; but on the night of Aug. 19, there came a frost that bonfires could not drive away and all the corn in town was killed. There was not enough raised for seed the next year, and provisions of all kinds went to fabulous prices. The next March hay was worth from $25 to $30 per ton; corn, $2 per bushel, and other articles in proportion. Many had no hay at all the latter part of the winter, and could not obtain any, and many cattle died. (History of the Town of Bristol)

1817. This season the crops were plenteous and farmers prospered. The weather was propitious and no frost came till the 29th of September. Sunday morning, Oct. 5, while the people were at church, a heavy earthquake shock was felt. (History of the Town of Bristol)

1818 - aft Mar, moved to New York. The family fell onto hard times, and Jacob was put in debtor's prison in Madison Co, NY during 1818. To occupy his time in prison, he carved a beautiful wooden box, which is still in the family today. During their sojurn in NY, the family embraced the Catholic faith. (Desc of Jacob Haven Sherman - Linda Stewart)

1820 Census - Sherburne, Chenango County, New York. 1st four children baptized here: Lucinda, William Smith, Rebecca, and Leverett. Sherburne, New York, is about 15 miles from Lebanon, New York, where Mary stayed until her death. Lebanon is in Madison Co.
Late 1820s - family left New York

1830 Census - Mentor Township, Geauga County, Ohio.
Possibly went to Chardon, Geauge Co, Ohio with Aaron Stebbins, brother to Rebecca, or joined him there.

1840 - Lee County, Ohio. Willis and Rebecca Sherman Barnes are shown to be living next door.

1842 - in Springfield, Illinois

1850 St Louis Co, Missouri, St. Ferdinands Township, 17 September.

Died 18 November 1850.
Family still in Missouri in December 1853 when Jacob, Jr., married Magdelena Summers there. 1853 Leverett R & his wife Margaret had gone ahead of the family to Chambers Co (then Liberty Co) He received 160 acres of preempted land on Turtle Bay.
1854 Richard & Lothrop and their families arrived by ox-drawn wagons and settled on Turtle Bay.
1855 Rebecca, Jacob Jr, John, William Barnes and their families had joined the others on Turtle Bay. The Turtle Bay community was located near the town of Wallisville. Leverett sold land to his brothers and sister so they could establish themselves in their new home.

Thinking that perhaps there is a family in this location related, I've looked at several and found nothing concrete. What few relationships there are seem to be more related to the Stebbins family, with the exception of the Tillotson family. Their connection is to the three Shermans who are living in a nearby township of Concord, Grafton County - so not immediate neighbors enough to say for sure they are in the same immediate family as Jacob -- but could be.

Notes:

The following information regarding Rebecca Sherman and her family is taken from the Lorraine Barrow Silva Collection of the Wallisville Heritage Park Foundation. This particular item can be found under "Chambers County History Notebook." It follows as such:
"REBECCA SHERMAN, with her children came to Texas some time between 1850 and 1854. She and her husband, Jacob H. Sherman, were moving to Texas from Missouri when he died along the way, November 18, 1850. She was the mother of quite a large family. She stopped in another county evidently before coming to Chambers County. They moved in an ox wagon and when they reached here, they settled in the community now known as Eminence, as it was near the water and afforded transportion for buying and selling. Her family is still well represented in the county. Her sons were as follows: William S. Sherman, Leverett Sherman, Jacob Sherman, Jr., John T. Sherman, Lothrop B., and Richard H. Sherman."
__________________
In 1860 Rebecca is shown to be living with her daughter Rebecca Sherman Barnes in Chambers Co, apparently widowed, and next door to Lothrop. In the 1870 census, she is shown to be living with "Hamel" - Richard Hamilton. She is 84 years old.

Military:
referenced in letter as Susan Shelton married "a Kirk" who was killed at Battle of San Jacinto." Only Kirk record found as casualty of Battle of San Jacinto is a John Kirk, born in England (1815) (see attached). Any connection? a relative?

San Jacinto, Battle of, the last battle of the Texan war of independence from Mexico fought April 21, 1836 near the site of present-day Houston, Texas. After the massacre of the garrison of the Alamo by the forces of Mexican general Antonio Lóz de Santa Anna, the Texan commander in chief General Sam Houston, with a small force of about 800 men, made a surprise attack on the Mexican army near the mouth of the San Jacinto River. Shouting "Remember the Alamo!", Houston's outnumbered army defeated the Mexican force of about 1300 men in less than 20 minutes. Nearly all of Santa Anna's men were either killed or captured. Santa Anna, who was among those taken prisoner, signed a treaty that granted Texans their independence and ended the war. Within that same year, Houston became the first president of the Republic of Texas.
