33922 Wm Wade Horton was the son of Julius and Susanah (Purnell) Horton and the husband of Amanda Teal. His grave was reportedly among the first graves in this cemetery. The land for the cemetery was provided by his brother, Col. Alexander Horton (aide-de-camp to General Sam Houston) for whom the Horton Cemetery is named. Wm Wade Horton was a Texas Ranger. Although it is generally noted that William Wade Horton was married to (1)Amanda Teal and (2)Mary C. McDaniel, and that he had two daughters, Leanna and Susan by Amanda and a daughter Wadeanna by Mary, there is still some disagreement among genealoges in this area.
It is said that he married Mary McDaniel March 1, 1848 at Nacogdoches County and that his daughter Wadeanna was born January 1849. The memoirs of S.H. Horton, nephew of Wm W. Horton provide the following insights: "Wm Wade Horton was eight years old when his widowed mother moved to Texas in 1824. He was a man of fine personal appearance,
sandy hair, deep blue eyes, and a thorough sport. He was a man of most violent temper when aroused, which led him into many shooting scrapes of a more or less serious nature. He died in 1849 from a wound in his
thigh caused by the accidental discharge of a pistol he was carrying in his coat pocket. After mortification set up, he was told by the doctors that the only possible way to save his life was to amputate his leg. Regardless of the entreaties of wife and mother, he refused to have it done. He left a widow and three little girl children, two, Leanna and Susan P. by his first wife, whose maiden name was Amanda Teal, and one Wadeanna, by his last wife, whose maiden name was Mary McDaniel. After his death my grandmother and the two older girls went to my father's to live and the widow to her father's, Capt. McDaniel's."

[Note: It is said that his daughter Wadeanna (Findagrave memorial #75604440) married Zachary T. Cockburn].
[Note: Col. Alex Horton named his son, Wade William, born 1849, in honor of his brother, Wm Wade Horton].

33931 Wm. Stone (b. in Northamptonshire. Eng., 1603, d. in Md. 1660) was the son of Capt. John Stone who had interests both in Mass. and on the Eastern Shore of Va. and who "was killed by the Pequods on the Connecticut River while returning to his home in Va." William Stone came to the Eastern Shore about 1632, was a justice in 1633, member of the first recorded Vestry of Hungar's Parish in 1635, and in 1648 was commissioned Governor of Maryland, to which colony he then removed. (Wise, pp. 106-7, Md. Hist. Mag., vol. 16, p. 191).
_

The Stones relocarted first to St. Mary's Co, then to Charles Co. Maryland

Proprietary Governor of Maryland appointed by Lord Baltimore

Gov. William Stone (c. 1603-c. 1659/60) and Verlinda Stone

William Stone served as Marylands first Protestant Governor, and he and his wife Verlinda both took action to preserve freedom of religion inMaryland.

William Stone was born in England around 1603 and came from a well-known merchant family in London. However, William chose to come to America, and migrated to Virginia in 1628. He was successful there, working as amerchant and planter. He was respected by his neighbors and was appointedjustice of the peace and then sheriff in Accomack County, Virginia.

He also served as a burgess in the Virginia Assembly. However, when civil war broke out in England, many Protestants who supported the Parliamentwere no longer welcome in Virginia, which supported the King. At thistime, Lord Baltimore, the proprietor of Maryland, began trying to attractmore settlers to Maryland, and many Protestants left Virginia.

William Stone and his wife Verlinda came to Maryland in 1648. That same year Stone was given a great opportunity. With civil war still going onin England and with many new Protestant settlers in Maryland, Lord Baltimore wanted to appoint a Protestant Governor. He chose William Stone, probably partly to reward Stone for promising to bring hundreds ofsettlers to Maryland. Stone served as Governor for six years until someof the more radical Protestants, called Puritans, gained control of the government and began to pass laws which restricted religious freedom.

Stone decided he needed to fight back, so he organized about 100 supporters and marched against the rebels in the Battle of Severn. He was greatly outnumbered, and after losing nearly half his men and beingwounded in the shoulder, Stone surrendered. He was made a prisoner andheld for over a month.

While he was in captivity, his wife Verlinda tried to help him by writing to Lord Baltimore. She made sure the proprietor knew exactly whathappened so he could protect both her husband and the colony. Stone waseventually released from prison and resumed his position as Governor. Hedied in 1660, leaving 14,950 pounds of tobacco for his wife and seven children.

Verlinda soon started acquiring more land for her family. In 1664 she patented 300 acres of land in Charles County which she called Virlinda and two years later bought 500 more acres in what is now Prince Georges County. She lived in the colony which she and her husband had fought to preserve up until her death in 1675.

------------
Events aboard Frank Haag's aircraft were equally grim. The copilot and radio operator were dead on the flight deck, which was a total wreck. Two gunners were dead at their stations, and there was a fire in the bomb bay. Meanwhile in the nose compartment the following was taking place - quoted verbatim from what must be one of the classic action vignettes of World War II. This was written by Haag's navigator, Lt. Ralph Goloven, upon his release from POW camp in 1945:

"When leading a mission I always found it best, after definitely establishing the IP and target, to ride on the nose wheel doors, giving the bombardier complete freedom of the little space in the nose. We had always flown B-24J's whose nose wheel doors open upward. This time we were flying a B-24H, whose nose wheel doors open down-wards, and I had forgotten this, otherwise I would never have been on them. After bombs were reported away, I heard the pilot say rudder control was lost, and though there was much firing I didn't think it was anything serious. Interphone was shot out soon after, and about two minutes past the target I noticed that the nose gunner, who always was so careful about shooting in short bursts and handled his turret very smoothly, must have been hit for the turret suddenly and violently slewed around to the right and the ammo tracks leading to the turret from the ammo boxes in my compartment were running wild. I started to get up from the wheel doors when I noticed the bombardier look out one window, then the other, rip his flak suit off and snap on his parachute. I still didn't think too much about the matter but took my flak suit off in order to move more quickly into the nose to help the nose gunner. Something prompted me to reach for my chute which was on the catwalk to the right and (I) had just started to get from my knees to climb into the nose when the bombardier hit the emergency release, and out I went with chute in hand. Later the bombardier told me he saw the plane completely on fire in the wing section and, fearing immediate explosion, thought only of getting out fast.

"After falling I managed to hook the left side of the chest pack and, after pulling rip cord with no result, ripped the chute pack open by hand, coming down with only the left side fastened. I still believed nothing serious had hap-pened. Next day I found out our ship had exploded in mid-air."

George Haag, flying in the lead squadron, watched his brother's plane go down.


The 492nd lost one other at Bernberg - the only aircraft lost from the lead squadron. Small deviations in routes and timing had placed the 453rd and 492nd on a collision course. As the formations, both under fighter attack, approached each other Major Heaton, sitting between the seats of Konstand's lead B-24 as Command Pilot for the mission, nudged the pilot and pointed to the on-coming Liberators. Lt. Konstand, an utterly dedicated officer whose only intent at that moment was to bomb his target, acknowledged their presence with a single comment: "They're empty and we're full. Let them move over!"

Just then the aircraft flying deputy lead for the 453rd, which actually was a PFF Liberator supplied by the 389th, was hit and veered toward the on-coming 492nd with its right wing on fire. The events that followed are again quoted from the mission diary of Lt. Crowley.

"Lt. Cary was flying on our right wing - his wing tip practically in our side window. I was called to the back of the plane by Sgt. McCarthy whose heated suit had shorted and was burning him. I tried unsuccessfully to fix it and finally sent him to the flight deck to keep warm while I remained in back to man his window gun. I took over the gun facing Cary. Suddenly Sgt. Coomer, the nose gunner, started quite a fuss on the intercom as he saw another plane thundering in on us head-on. We all floated about 2 feet off the floor as O'Sullivan put it into a steep dive. Just as he did I saw the two planes come together. It almost seemed like slow motion; Cary's wing was sheared off, the plane seemed to stay in level flight as the gasoline poured out of the wing just as though someone were emptying a tumbler of water. Then it started to go all directions at once."

Both B-24s spun in, leaving a single parachute in their flaming wake. Underneath the canopy was the collision's only survivor, the navigator from Cary's crew....".


Quote

The Sturmgruppe closed on the American Group's Low Squadron, as Hauptmann Wilhelm Moritz split his force into its three component Sturmstaffeln and directed them against different parts of the enemy formation. Leutnant Walther Hagenah was one of the German pilots who took part in the attack;

" My Staffel was in position about 1,000yd behind 'its' squadron of bombers.The Staffel leader ordered his aircraft into line abreast and, still in close formation, we advanced on the bombers. We were to advance like Frederick the Great's infantrymen, holding our fire until we could see 'the whites of the enemy's eyes'.''

The tactics of the Sturmgruppe were governed by the performance of the wing-mounted 3cm cannon. Although the hexogen high-explosive ammunition fired by this weapon was devastatingly effective, the gun's relatively low muzzle velocity meant that its accuracy fell off rapidly with range . With only 55 rounds per gun, sufficient for about five seconds' firing, the Sturmböcke could not afford to waste ammunition in wild shooting from long range. The sky was alive with a withering hail of defensive fire from the bombers. As the unwieldy fighters slowly advanced on the bombers, the Sturmbock pilots could only grit their teeth until they were right up close against the bombers. The huge bulk of the radial engine and the heavy armour plate around the cockpit allowed the Sturm force to press on with a certain impunity, as Hagenath remembers

" like the armoured knights in the Middle Ages, we were well protected . A Staffel might lose one or two aircraft during the advance, but the rest continued relentlessly on ."

Positioned now about 100yd behind the bombers the Staffel leader barked out the order to open fire

' Pauke ! Pauke ! ..'.

From such a range the Staffel could hardly miss, and the 3cm explosive rounds struck home . Just 2 rounds could take the tail off a B-17 , and a B-24's fuselage structure was not as sturdy. The enemy bombers literally fell apart in front of the Sturmgruppe.

33952 Worthy was born on north shore of Lake Sabine. His daughter Lucy was also born there. Battle of Sabine Pass fought in 1863, when Worthy was only 7. He said roar of the cannons was plainly heard at the Sparks homestead on that September day. He also remembered wild game was plentiful; and when chickens, ducks, geese and alligtors inhabited the marshlands in the open fields adjoining the Sparks brother's farm. Alligators were a source of income: Worthy said they could earn $12 a night hunting 'gators.'

Other children were born at 4025 Howard Street, Beaumont, Texas.

Worthy and brother James Chester were leaders in getting several other citizens to build the first schoolhouse in South Park. Later when the school district was formed, he served as a trustee. County records show that he served many times he election judge in county and state elections.

All deceased members of Worthy's family are buried in family plots at Magnolia Cemetery in Beaumont.

note: he was documented in Springfield before 1641.
ss


He married Margaret (STRATTON?) (about 1625-1626 in England)(before 1627-S15)(in 1632-S8). They had children Samuel, Margaret, Hester, Lydia and Mary (not necessarily in that order) while still in England.

He was a Puritan from England, who came to America probably about 1635, but possibly as late as 1638. Not long after arriving, William Pynchon and others from the Bay area decided to settle in Agawam, what is now Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts. In SEP of 1635 , Pynchon and a few followers visited Agawam, an Indian village on the further bank of the Connecticut River. In MAY of 1636 they returned and settled there. Samuel moved there in the company of William Pynchon and his group, thus becoming one of the first settlers of Agawam. The area was called by its Indian name "Agawam" until 1640, when it was renamed Springfield. 

Samuel settled on what is now Main Street, a little below where now stands the historic First Church. 

The town records of early Springfield record the birth of son James, born in 1639 in Springfield, Massachusetts, and son Judah, born in 1642 in Springfield and daughter Helped, who was born and died in 1644.

He is mentioned in the town records in 1639 as having been called upon to serve as Deacon to the flock of the first Congregational Church, "?exhorting the people until such time as another could be got for the job?" How long he served at this time is unknown, but eventually an ordained minister was found. 

He served jury duty on 14 November 1639 at Agawam (Springfield), Hampden County, Massachusetts. This entry reveals that he served on the Jury, hearing cases between John Woodcoke and John Cable and between William Pynchon and Thomas Merricks. His fellow jurists included a number of the other original inhabitants of the town, Henry Smyth, Jehu Burr, Henry Gregory, John Searle and Samuell Hubbard. This was the first jury noted in the court records. 

He again served jury duty on 18 June 1640 at Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts. This jury heard a case between William Warriner & Henry Gregory.

5 FEB 1640-1641, Robert Ashly complained against John Woodcooke in an action of the case for a gunn that he bought of him and paid him 22s 6d for it yet the said John Woodcoke did not deliver it to him accordinge to bargaine. 
Also Robert Ashly complaines against John Woodcok in an action of the case for not breaking up of certain ground for planting according to bargaine. 
The Jury Henry Smyth, Henry Burt, John Leonard, John Dible, Samuell Wright, Thomas Merick: 
In the first action the Jury find for the plaintife 22s 6d and in costes 4s. 
The 2d action John Woodcoke doth acknowledge it his dew to brake up the said ground and doth bynd over some of the Swine that he hath now in the hands of Thomas Mirick for the performance of the said ground in case it for not don before the first of Aprill, then he doth promise to allow for the damage out of the said swine as two indifferent neighbors shall prise the said swine and so to pay as much as the workmanship of the said ground shall be valued at. 

After the Jury had given in their verdict John Woodcoke denied that Robert had paid for the said gunn notwithstanding the action was [illegible] before him and he never denied it: but I offered him a new tryall by a writ of error if he would present it. 

Goody Gregory hearing him denie that he was paid testified uppon oath that she heard John Woodcock say that he did not owe above as 2s 6d in the plantation she said that she replied thus to John Wookcocke that she heard Robert say that John Woodcock ought him between 30 and 40s. Then John Woodcok answered that Robert was a pratinge fellow for he had set of his gunn and now he did not owe him past 7 or 8s: Also Henry Gregory testified uppon oath that he heard him speak the same to his wife. 

Goody Gregory being accused by oath of John Woodcoke and Richard Williams for swearing before God I could break her head: she did acknowledge it was her great sin and fault and saith she hath bin much humbled for it: 

She is fined 12d to the pore to be paid to Henry Smyth within a month: or if she doe not she is to sit 3 houers in the stocks. (S7).

He again served jury duty on 10 September 1640 at Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts. This jury heard a case between Henry Gregory & John Woodcoke in action of the case for 'fower poundes fowerteene shillings.' (S6).

He took the Oath of Freeman on 14 April 1648 n Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts.

He was ordered to pay a fine on 30 May 1649 at Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts, along with John Herman, for the damage their team of oxen did to Henry Burt's field. They were ordered to pay 1½ bushels of marsh wheat.

He preached the sermons again for a time after their first minister resigned and returned to England in 1652. Deacon Wright, Deacon Chapin, Mr. Holyoke and Henry Burt all conducted religious services on the Sabbath. At a meeting of the town on 24 Mar 1656, Deacon Wright alone was chosen to dispense the word of God on the Sabbath at 50 shillings per month.

From a page torn out of his account book, dated 25 Jul 1653 at Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts: [torn]n accot of what I haue laid out [torn] Mill dam 25 July 1653 for Sam Wright 3 d 00 05 00, To Sam Wright for 3 d worke besides above 00 05 00."

He was fined on 1 November 1653 at Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts: "The persons underwritten being presented for breach of the Towne orders are ordered to pay: as followeth : - Samuell Wright 0.02.00. 

He and a group of fifteen other families formed what is now called the Northampton Society in 1654, and moved together to a land grant about 35 miles up the Connecticut River (it was then called the Big River) and founded the town of Northampton in 1656, where his son Samuel Jr. had preceded him. Among the first groups to settle at Northampton, there were a total of about thirty families who are considered the first settlers of Northampton. Samuel Jr. was one of the town selectmen that year, in 1656. The first settlers purchased the land there from the Indians. At first, the settlement of Northampton was called Squakeag, the Indian name for the area. It was next called ?Northfield? by the English settlers because it was the northernmost settlement on the river. Finally the name Northampton was settled upon.

At Northampton, he and his son Samuel were granted a home lot of 4 1/2 acres on Main Street, between King and Market Streets. He is spoken of as one of the leaders of the town, prominent in local affairs, serving on various committees, and that his name was the first one signed to the church covenant adopted in 1661. They built small huts near each other, and ran a stockade around a number of them for a fort into which they might flee, if attacked.

He provided bond on 24 March 1655 at Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts of £4 for the preformance of the order concerning his son Samuel Wright Jr. providing for the illegitimate child he fathered on Mary Burt.

At a meeting of the town on 24 Mar 1656, Deacon Wright alone was chosen to dispense the word of God on the Sabbath at 50 shillings per month.

In a lawsuit dated 29 March 1659 at Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts he brought a suit, along with Edward Elmer, Alexander Edwards & John Stebbin, against the town of Northampton "in an action of the case concerninge their turninge out some of the freemen from beine select men to which office they were chosen." 

From John Pynchon's account books in June of 1660, he employed "Deacon Wright CR June [1660] By your halfe, for Sawing of the Timber for the Corection house 03 15 00."

33962 written 24 Apr 1767, proved 25 Apr 1768.
Left one shilling each to sons John, Rober, Gabriel, and Henry and daughters Kitty Fitzgerald, Ann Fishback, Elizabeth Taylor, Sarah Redman and Mary Neville. Balance of estate, real and personal went to minor son Thomas. He named "loving friends George Neavill and John Buchanan" as exedutors and guardians of son Thomas until he became 21.
Signed by John Neville (Neavill) with his J mark, before witnesses James Young, Mary Barnet and Alexander Parker, the will was proved by Young and Parker. A certificate for letter of administration was granted to William Carr when the appointed executors refused to accept the responsiblity.

Use of terms "friends" for George Neville and John Bohannon (Buchanan) is strange since John Bohannon undoubtedly was the son of Joseph Bohannon and Elizabeth Neville and probably a nephew. John Neville certainly was related to Geroge Neville. Chronologically and geographically, it is likely that John and George were brothers. The bequests suggest that the major legatee, Thomas, was youngest son and that the others had already received their shares of their father's estate.

33963 written by James Willis Sparks, grandson of Milam, son of Leslie.

"Milam was born on March 1, 1863 northwest of Eagle Lake, Texas or about three miles north of a place called Metz. Milam was raised between the Bernard river and Bernard creek. Why Jacob named three of sons "William" after his father I do not know. But that was the way is was on the Census.

His father owned land there, they raised cattle and some farming. Milam grew up to be one of the best in breaking wild horses. They said even though he was small man of about 5'7" and weight about 145 pounds, was few horses that he ever had to get on twice.

Milam grew up in the hard times. When he was only nine years old his father died. There is no proof but some of us believe that he is the one who was killed over some horses. It has been passed down through the years one of the Sparks's had bought two horses and a colt from two men. a few days or so they came back and wanted to buy the horses and colt back. Sparks said he didn't want to sell the horses, and they had a few words like, we will get those horses one-way or the other. Later he (Sparks) was about to cross the Bernard creek, when his pony jumped sideways, and at the same time of gunshots. Sparks roll out of the saddle with his rifle in his hand and when the shooting was over, Sparks had killed both of the men who was trying to buy the horses back. Later they found out the horses had been stolen and they were trying to get them back before the laws could find them. But later, one of their kinfolks shot Sparks either going to town or in town.

Doris Roberts, Milam's sister-in-law, said that she had heard the same thing from the talks of her husband and his half brothers would have. But there has not been any record to show that was the way it happen, or if it even happen. But most tales like these or mostly right.
Milam grew up with a stepfather, after his father died in 1871, Nancy, his mother remarried to Thomas Jefferson Roberts in 1872. Milam had kinfolks in and around Beaumont, Jefferson County, Tex. What ever the reason was Milam was in that area when he met Sarah Francis Adams from Orange, Tex. and married her on August 2, 1884 in Beaumont, Tex. She had kinfolks living in Colorado County. So she may have been visiting there or Milam may have been visiting his kinfolks in Jefferson County. Any way they lived in Colorado County for a while where Milam and family was for a number of years we cannot say. He and his family did not show on any census from the time he left home, until in 1912 in Matagorda County, Texas some 28 years later.

There are a lot of tales about Milam in his younger days. He worked for some of the biggest cattle Kings of that time. After the Civil War there was a lot of big cattle kings and companies that took over the open range and pushed out all of the small cattle ranchers. Down in what is called the valley was (and still is) King Ranch, which covered hundred of square miles. Was said that no man went across this ranch and reached the other side, the riders shot you on sight. Another ranch was Pierce, was know throughout the state as "Shanghai Pierce." He had like King Ranch, hundred of square miles of land. At one time it cover over eight counties and to this day it is called Pierce Estate, has large amounts of land in three or four counties. They said that he got his name because he sold a lots of cattle, but very few would he let off his land.

He would sell the cattle and when they got 30 or 40 miles away some of his men would kill the drivers and bring cattle back to the home range.

They had the same thing over in Jefferson County and some of the other counties around in the state. They called this one The Cattle Industry in the area received when the "Beaumont Pasture Company" was created on March 14, 1878, With William McFaddin, C.C. Caswell, O.M. Kyle, Valentine Weiss, William, and Sam Lee as members. (This Samuel Lee was married to Eliza Sparks, her father was John Sidney Sparks. This was Milam's Uncle or his father's brother.)

During the time that Milam could not be found, as records of census went, he was working for Shinghi Pierce, most everything south of the town of the town of Columbus, Texas or at that point any thing south of the Colorado River was Pierce's land and cattle. Milam also worked for a cattle company named Dallas. He named one of his sons Dallas Reed Sparks. Reed said that his Dad named him after the company and the foreman over the cattle drive.

Later part of the 1800's, Milam and his two half brothers kind of went in business for them self. Now this is another one, we have nothing but stories that has been passed down. Milam and his two half brothers, Thomas (Tom) and Lee Roberts, would slip a few head of cattle of Pierce across the river and put their brand on them and later sold them. They also did a lot of trading of horses and cattle. But they gave up around the early 1900's.

Lee Roberts in later years became a Texas Ranger to help stop cattle rustling. Tom became the Constable in the town of Eagle Lake, Colorado County, Texas. I guess you would call this the wild days of a young man.

Milam and Sarah Francis lived in and around the home place in Metz, Columbus, Eagle Lake in Colorado County. Sarah Francie died May 2, 1897, seven months after her last child, Myrtle Frances was born. Maggie George the oldest girl was almost ten years old when her mother died.

Here Milam was with four children so young. Where he lived was close to his mother, Nancy Johnson Sparks Roberts or not and if she would have help if she had. They said she was ruff and a mean woman. (more hear say) But I'm sure he was needing some one bad. Maggie said she could remember standing on a box of a sort and washing dishes and trying to cook.

Seven months and two days later Milam had found him a new bride. He married Viola "Vee" (Court) Nobles on December 4, 1897 in Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas. There again she was distance kin, as Julia Ann Sparks (John Sidney daughter) married James M. Court. This is where Vee or Viola was born and her family lived. I'm sure they went back to Colorado county soon afterwards, some one was keeping the four kids there. Viola had been married to Leroy E. Nobles and they had one son Loid (not Lloyd) born October 1897. They were living in a place called Spanish Camp (which is still there) about four miles north of Wharton, Texas.

Here again John Sidney's granddaughter, Helen Clair Gentz married Matthew Nobles and had 12 children. Don't know if Noble died, killed or divorced, but the baby was only a few months old when Milam and Viola married. She was living (probably with her parents) at Beaumont, Texas at the time the baby was born. There again we're not sure where Milam and Viola were living. At one time they were living at Lissie in Wharton County.


Doris Roberts and I went to a rest home in Eagle Lake to talk with Bonnie Parker that was living there, (no this is not the great woman outlaw Bonnie Parker.) she was 96 year old and her mine was sharp as a tack. I ask her if she knew a Milam Sparks; she said Oh, Lord yes. He had a pretties little wife named Vee and had a house full of kids. Their oldest boy Merril, I believe his name was. When she called Frank, Merril, I knew for sure that she knew them, because very few people knew his name was Merril.

I asked if she knew Maggie George and she said I don't guess I did. I told her that Maggie George Sparks and Arthur Worthy Sparks got married there in Lissie (where Benniers family was living at the time) on October 27, 1903. She laughed and sad if they got married in Lissie, then my Daddy was the one that married them, because he was the Baptist preacher and the only preacher in town. She said, she was living in Eagle Lake at that time. Bonnie never was married and died at the age of 98 Married 2nd Viola "Vee" (Court) Nobles

Milam's oldest child, Maggie George and her husband, Arthur Worthy Sparks (they were cousin) moved to Lessie, where some seven years earlier they had gotten married. Their son James Leslie born July 6, 1904 was now six and almost 7 years old.. In the first part of 1911 or the last part of 1910 Arthur, Maggie and James Leslie pack up and headed west in to Wharton County some 200 miles away to a little town of Lissie. Where they had gotten married back in 1903 and still living in the area was Maggie's father Milam. They were there for a short time, a few months.

When Milam along with his family and oldest daughter Maggie and her husband, Arthur and his grandson, left Lessie, heading south east to Matagorda County some 150 miles or so. They lived on a place on row Creek about half way between Markham and another little town Clemville. Clemville was just beginning to be a booming oil field.
Here Milam and Viola had their last child, Dallas Reed on July 3, 1911. Then shortly after Maggie and Arthur had their second child, Alvin Brooks on September 28, 1911. Vee just never really recovered, and in January of the following year, 1912 she died. I guess, knowing that she was going to die, had wanted her body shipped back to Jefferson County.

In January of 1912, Milam shipped Viola's body to Port Arthur, Texas, where she was buried in the Sparks Cemetery. (Now at the end of DeQueen Blv. and Lake View Drive. Was once a Sparks settlement, named Aurora, Texas before the name was change in 1897 to Port Arthur, Texas. This cemetery was later (part of) moved to Forest Lawn cemetery in Beaumont, Tex, by Court Order.

Again Milam and family out into the area they call Old Gulf and later Maggie and family did like wise. What year they moved, some 30 or 40 mile closer to the Gulf of Mexico we don't know.Milam married again in 1915 for the third time to Alice Williams who was 18 years old and Milam was 52 year old. Milam and Alice, they lived around Wadsworth, Matagorda County, Tex.. You would think that it was time to retire but not Milam. Alice and Milam had nine children. He was 74 when his last child was born, and he died in 1942 at the age of 79.

Milam and his new wife later moved back up close to the little oil field town of Clemville, Tex. Loid Nobles was still living with Viola and Milam. They did some farming and Milam did his horse trading, I don't know if he was still breaking horses or if some of the boys were doing it. There was a place they called Northern Head Quarters about seven or eight miles north of their place. I would think he and some of his boys sure would have been working out there. Milam's boys didn't much like working in the oil field, they were farmer. In later years they became rice farmers. Milam probably had four or five kids at home from the last marriage.Then again in the 1920's probably around 1925, he moved out on the edge of Clemville, where he lived till he died in January of 1942. All though he did not die in Matagorda County at Clemville. His oldest son, Milam Arthur "Bud" Sparks was living in China, Jefferson County, Tex. near Beaumont, Tex. He took his father home with him because he had been sick for a while. He wanted to take him to a Doctor and to see if they could find what was wrong with him. He was there only a few months when he died. Bud brought his father body back to Bay City, Tex. to be buried in the CedarVale Cemetery with other Sparks's that were buried there.

Alice and the family three of her kids moved up closer to the store in Clemville.I remember my Great Grandfather, Milam very clear, I was 15 years old when he passed away. I would say that he was the same height as my father, James Leslie Sparks who was Milam's grandson, which was 5"7" tall, weight 145 pounds, and 7 or 71/2 shoe or boot. Milam wasn't built like my father with heavy muscles in the upper part of the body.

Milam always had horses and a few cows. He was buying and selling in his late years. This was back when they still was having a lot of trouble with screwworm. My Dad, Leslie was gone a lot, he was a driller and was off looking for oil. When we need a cow or calf needed doctoring Grandpa Milam would come down and doctor it. He said back when he worked for them big cattle company, hides would bring almost as much as the whole cow. So when a number of cattle would die for what ever the reason would be. He had eat his dinner sitting on the side of a dead cow a many time. The way he doctored for screwworm was he took his finger or a stick (if he had one) and clean out all the worms that he could, he had some kind of mixture that he mixed up to kill the worms. Put that in the hole and then packed dry manure in on top. He said the medicine would kill most of the worms and the dry manure would be come wet and smother the rest, as this healed it would push out the cow manure.

Milam last home was about a quarter of a mile or so from his oldest child, Maggie. He would ride down there and have coffee as many did. They had open range then (no fences only pens) so it was left up to you to keep your stock in your area. There was a man that lived up in town that like to think that he ran the town. Any way, word was that this man told Milam that he was going to have to pen his cows. Milam told this guy: You may run that part of town where you live, but don't come down here trying to tell me what I'm going to do or not going to do. The best thing you can do is get your *#*++* ass back over there and don't mess with me because I'll shoot your *#*++* ass off. I Don't believe he ever said any more to Milam after that. He didn't mess with any one and he didn't want you to mess with him.


Milam would set on the front porch in a straight back chair for hours at a time looking out across open land. Probably think about the old days when he used ride all over this part of the country.I remember Bud (his oldest son) had bought his Dad a new pair of cowboy Boots. He looked at them and pitch them back in the box, "I won't wearing them dam Drug Store Boots". All he would ever wear was what they call the stove top boot, that came up almost to the knee. Bud though they would have been easer to get on and off. He wore those long-johns, two pair of pants the year round with no shirt in the summer.

Now if he went some place he would get all deck out in his best boots and hat. The story goes Milam was as good as they came when it came to bronco-busting, his son Arthur (Bud) was they said just as good. My father, Leslie told me this happened; There was a group of men standing around drinking. When one said, I got a horse out there tied to a tree has never been rode and can't be rode. Milam said for $50 dollars I'll ride him right now.

Well Milam got on that horse and after a few jumps Milam came off. Bud said Pa would have rode that horse if he hadn't been drunk. That man laughed and said can you do any better? Bud said yes; if you got a $100 dollars when I step down off that horse. The man laughed again and said hell yes. Bud put on his chaps and tied down his spurs and said hold his head. Before the horse gave up, Bud had that horse bleeding as far down as he could reach and dragging his spurs up the shoulder and neck. Bud stepped down off that horses and took that $100 and said if you all have more of them horses that no one can ride for a $100, Pa and I will take you money.

I went down to Grandpa Milam's and played with Clair Lee, who was about my age and Milam Lloyd was a little younger. (every one call Lloyd "Bull") One day I was over there and it was time for me to go home, Bull went and ask Pa (Milam) if he could go home with me for a while, Grandpa said no and you are not leaving this yard. Well in the mean time it had started raining. Grandpa Milam had gone out to the barn about 30 yards from the house to relive him self. Grandma Alice (I don't believe any one called her Grandma, Just Alice, why I don't know Because kids just didn't call adults by their first name) gave me Bull's coat and cap to wear home to keep from getting wet. I went out the back door and out in to the cow lot around the barn and started climbing over the board fence. As I was climbing over the top of the fence, Grandpa Milam grabbed me off the fence at the same time started whaling the hell out me. Saying Bull, I told you not to leave this dam yard. I was yelling Grandpa this is not Bull. Finally he said oh Hell I though you were Bull.

All these years Loid (Milam's stepson, most ever one knew Loid by the nick name of Duke.) "Duke" lived with Milam and helped support the family. If it hadn't been for Duke, for ten to fifteen years before Milam died and that long or longer after he died, the family could never have made it without him. Duke gave his whole life to supporting Milam's families. Seem like my Dad said that Bud took Duke to Beaumont to see a Uncle Nobles and some of his kinfolks, but I don't know which of the Nobles it was. Duke's father was Joseph G. Nobles from Beaumont, Tex. I don't guess his father ever came to see him or his father may have been dead. He lived his last days with a half sister Pauline (Sparks) Stoffer.

About ever one knew Pauline as "Peggy" as this was what Duke call her. Pauline was married to Vernon Stoffer at that time, Varian died 2/4/1980 and later married John Landrum (/18/1981.Of all the years that Duke lived around Clemville, I have for the first time to hear any one say any thing bad about him. Duke would help any one and would not ask for any pay. But all the people around spoke well of Duke and was always giving him extra work to do. Milam had 13 girls and 7 boys, he always said that he had 22 children. Alice lost two children, don't know if any of the other wife did.

I guess you would have to say that Milam was the last of the rough riders, for he surely was a breed of his own. He and his brother were probably like their father ;Jacob. All of Milam's boys were a little on the rough side also. To tell the truth I don't think there is a Sparks that would walk away from a fight.

In the winter of 1885 they had an epidemic of Yellow Fever to hit the Sparks Settlement that took a heavy toll of both children and adults. On August 20, 1886 (shortly after Mary Kate was born) a severe hurricane struck the section, the brunt of it felt at Sabine Pass. Discouraged, the families on the Lake decided to move nearer Beaumont. They dismantled most of the Aurora house and took them along.

James and his younger brother, Worth Cryndon (born 3/23/1856 first to be born at the Sparks Settlement) bought a 34 acre tract of land three miles south of Beaumont (now called South Park) located near the public road to Grigsby's Bluff (now Port Arthur Highway), and each of the brothers started building a new home where they were destined to spend the rest of their lives. Deed records at the Jefferson County Courthouse show that the Sparks brother's purchased this property jointly for the sum of $600, paying $200 down in December 1889 and balance in two equal notes of $200 due in 1891. (Would you believe that while I am typing this it has been 100 years ago, January 27,1991. Just think how things were then and what it is now. I some time wonder if their time wasn't the best. Family was closer and lived as a family. Now it s such a rat race, and every one going their own way and have very little time for a family or friends. Hopefully some one will keep up with us Sparks's in years to come.


The two Sparks brothers owned and farmed the 34 acres jointly until 1898. In December 21, 1904 following the death of James the property was divided. We have no record saying when James Christian died. The above indicate that he died in 1904, but his granddaughter, said her father, Arthur Worthy (James's oldest son) always said he was 14 years old when his father (James) died. James Leslie (James's Grandson) was born in 1904 he said his Grandpa was already dead when he was born. He didn't know when, and only knew his Grandma Ella. He was born in Beaumont and Maggie and Arthur were living with Ella at the time. They lived in Beaumont till 1911, Leslie was seven years old.This would indicate that it was in December 1904 they decided to divide the 34 acres.Court records reflect that 17 acres (east half) were deeded to Ella Sparks, widow of James Christian and her four children Arthur Worthy, James Chester, Lura and Clara Alice. (this also indicate that the other three children, Iloa Janet, Mary Kate, and James Christian Jr. were all deceased at this time.) The remaining 17 (west half) were retained by the Worthy Cryndon family. This extended from Adams Street on the north to Lavaca Street on the South, and fronted on what is now Howard Strayer. (Worthy made this road to his home and called it Howard Street, and when the City took it over they kept the name Howard.I guess it was good that the Sparks's were carpenters, as much building they did over the years. Jim built a large house out of cypress wood, the house stood for many years.

Emma grew up on a farm in Cottonwood, TX. She was the post mistriss in Rosser, TX for many years, beginning Nov. 3, 1944. The town of Rosser
began as the town of Trinidad in 1841. It was without postal service
from 1866 till June of 1886. Emma was intelligent, strong, and had a good sense of humor. She enjoyed quilting, sewing, and outdoors activities. She was divorced from her husband for many years, lived in Ennis and Dallas, before her death.

Notes for LEWIS MARSHALL FISHER:
When he was 26 years old, he married his first wife, but the tragic
deaths of his wife and new baby changed the course of his life. Lewis
owned a farm and worked as a barber during his first years married to
Emma Cochran.
During WWII, at about 60 years of age, Lewis did work similiar to a
merchant marine, working for the War Department, serving out of
Galveston, TX., as a deck hand on the Dredge "Manhattan". Lewis lived a
few years in DeQueen, Arkansas, where he worked as a farm hand around
1948.
In the 1950's, Lewis moved in with the Mauldin family in Dallas, and
lived with my family until he became ill and had to move to a nursing home. In all the years that I knew him, Grandpaw Lewis was a fun loving, but sometimes serious, man who loved to read, especially westerns. He always loved the old radio shows, variety and music. I learned to enjoy gospel music from listening to his radio with him. Many days when Ann and I would come home from school, he would pop us corn and visit with us. He told of coming to Texas from Illinois, and how difficult it was crossing the Red River in covered wagons. Lewis took Ann and I on a roller-coster ride when he was in his 70's, and he enjoyed it more than
we did. We also went with him to live music shows in the band shell at
Fair Park.

grew older and his hair whiter, he always wore his hair in a burr cut.

Served in WW I, in Co. D, 5th Reg of Engineers, first as private, then corporal, then sergeant. He saw battle in France. He is listed in "A War History of Company D 5th Regiment of Engineers" published April 1st, 1919 at Camp A. A. Humphrey. During the war, he was gassed in France with something that impared his lungs from then on (per letter from Bess Fisher Dixon dated July 8, 1987). During the earlier time he was in south Texas in the Army, and he was a part of a US expedition into Mexico chasing Pancho Villa.

Birth source: 1910 Rosser, Kaufman Co., TX census.
died May 29, 1938 in Rosser, Kaufman, TX (Source: Mt. Olive Cemetery, Scurry, Kaufman Co., TX.)

John and his brother Edmund came to Texas about 1878. He was for several years the postmaster at Rosser, TX. He was a very intelligent man, well
thought of in the community.
From "Kaufman County History" by the Historical Society in writings
about the town of Rosser, TX: it was in 1886 that Capt Rosser applied for a post-office, recommended John Cochran as the postmaster, and suggested the name Burton for the post office and town. The office was granted, John Cochran was appointed, but the town and post office name assigned was Rosser. There was already a Burton, TX. Mr. Cochran served a postmaster for two years and Capt. Rosser succeeded him. The post office was discontinued in 1889, but reopened in early 1892.
This history book continues: The chimney in the Cochran two story home was made of some bricks from the Montgomery Brick Plant located on the
Montgomery farm outside of Trinidad (later named Rosser, Tx). The main store building was located on what is now Cochran property. When the building was razed and the chimney dismantled, a human skull was found lodged in the chimney - one of the mysteries of pioneer life in a river town.

Notes for Nancy Elizabeth Stanford:
Nancy was orphaned by her mother when she was a small girl. Her father doted on her, teaching her to shoot a gun and ride a horse. My mother
told me about Nancy riding her horse when they lived in Northwestern
Alabama, and hearing the panthers scream in the wilderness. In a letter from Bess Fisher Dixon dated July 1987, she said that John Cochran was slightly over 6 feet tall, and Nancy was 5'2" or 5'3", thin and wiry and athletic looking. She never saw her Grandfather John without his full
beard.
Bess Fisher Dixon also wrote that Nancy was visiting relatives in
Kaufman Co., TX when she met her husband to be. There was mention of a
"Toog" Burton also of Kaufman County, unknown who this might be at this
time.

Notes for IDA MAY COCHRAN:
In a letter to Ruth Fisher Mauldin dated 1968 from Palestine, TX, Ida May wrote: "I wanted Sis (Emma) to come live with me, but I'm glad she's moved near you. The only way I have of going any where is for one of the kids to take me. Since Noles died I don't call on James so often for he has two grown girls to take care of. One of these is still in school. The older one is engaged to be married but can't seem to make up her mind when. She brought him up to see me. I like him very much. His mother lives in Alabama & his dad in California. John has three girls - one married & teaching school. Nancy has five kids, two boys, and three
girls. Her older boy is married & has a baby boy. He is in service. She came to see me a short time ago and brought her daughter-in-law & the baby. He is just a picture of his daddy. Edward said when he gets his first leave of absence that he is going to bring Linda & the baby up & spend most of it with me. He told Linda to tell me that he still loved me & always would. It is so nice to have your grand kids love you. I feel so sorry for Nancy's mother-in-law. None of her kids or grand kids even like her. Guess I am doing as well as any old lady my age can
expect. I raise chickens to help furnish meat for me & my two dogs.
Love to all, Aunt Ida May"

My sister died Dec 13 - 1849. She left an infant son eight days old and a daughter 4 years last July 27 and a bereaved husband to mourn her loss besides numerous other relations. She seemed perfectly resigned to the will of God having no choice whether to live or die. She seemed to have her reason perfectly the last day of her life, altho she had appeared lost most of the time in her sickness previously. Her sickness was very distressing. The Drs called it the scarlet fever .....She died Thursday eve at 10 o'clock was buried Saturday."

.
11. John (Jno) Clarke: owned 36 acres in 1647 (-9) .
BIRTH: abt 1626.
MARRIAGE: He married Elizabeth Stebbins (daughter of Rowland) 2 Mar 1647. .
DEATH: John Clark died 1684; bequeathed to wife, son John, daughters, Sarah Barnard and Mary Morgan. Son-in-law, David Morgan deposed (intentionally left out of the will.) His estate was valued at £315..
BIOGRAPHY: He had to leave Springfield to burn tar in 1646. Town officer. In 1648, John Clarke was called before the court because he had left a carrion (putrefying body of a dead beast) by the brook side which was very offensive. John Clark pled that he had buried it; but when his attention was called to it that pigs had rooted it up and upon first notice he removed it. .
John Clarke?s land adjoined Alexander Edwards and John Dibble. Occupations: farmer, teamster, agricultural laborer. Brought up salt from Enfield Falls for Pynchon; worked on ditches and at the mill trench. He rented land from Pynchon to grow corn on and he was in debt to Pynchon in 1663 at the rate of 20 pounds sterling for goods..
John Clarke served on the inquest jury to determine the cause of death of little Ebenezer Harmon who drowned in the brook. He also served on the inquest jury regarding the death of Abel Wright?s young child..
His daughter, Sarah, was found in the court records: In Feb 1670/1, Richard Barnard was discharged from prison so he could marry Sarah Clark, and then bound over to appear at the next county court where the offenders were fined forty shillings apiece as This Court: "being sensible of disorders growing more and more upon us and is special of the gross miscarriages of the said Richard and his wife Sarah doth fine them each...". .
At county court in September 1686 Richard Waite of Springfield was bound over to answer for his offense of fornication with the widow Sarah Barnard and appeared with the widow whom he had married in the interim. The court being "sensible of the growth and increase of this abominable sin and desirous to use all wayes to curb the further breakings out of such provoking sins" required the offenders be well whipped or pay a fine of five pounds. .
This same daughter, Sarah Barnard, had an experience in January 1686 that is found in the Pynchon court records: "Widow Sarah Barnard ...(said) she was much afrighted by a mans coming into her house in the night when she was in bed and lying downe on her bed whereupon she gat up and called when presently Thomas Lamb came in and speaking to him he gave no answer to said Lamb till he pulled him about to the fire and saw that it was Samuel Owen. So, Thomas Lamb run to David Morgan and called him and presently returned. Samuel Owen had not stirred. I discerned that he had been drinking and smelled of it. Thomas asked Samuel, "What will your wife say to this that you came to another woman?s bed?" Goodwife Barnard says she judged he was in drink because he came into the house in such a way and yet he never offered any abuse to her but that he lay on her bed....and she now doth freely forgive and pass by this and must say and clear him wholly further then that she judged him in drink and frightened her. Samuel Owen saith he knows not how he got or went to her house not being sensible. Owen was fined for his drunkenness and dismissed." .
CHILDREN: John Clark and Elizabeth Stebbins:.
1. John b. 1647.
2. Sarah b. 1649; md. (1) Richard Barnard; .

The jury determined that the child "went out to a sled without the doors and endeavoring to get upon the sled halfe loaden with wood, a log rowled downe on the child and the log falling on the child which was a heavy log, the child thereby came to its end." Rowland was chosen a Selectman three times. In 1678 Rowland Thomas, Joseph Bedortha, and John Dorchester built a fortification on the Suffield and Westfield sides of Springfield. Rowland Thomas does not appear on early maps of Springfield.

33993 Xtiane=Christiane!! Frederika Xtiane (Gentzen)

1850 Jeff Co Census (taken Nov 14, 1850): Living with Joseph P Puslefer (b 1806 Mass), druggist
others in his household were wife Rebecca Fredenberg (b 1805 PA);
Francis McCall (b 1829 PA) seaman;
James McCall (b 1831 PA) seaman, who married Anna Garner (Jacob A and Matilda "Hays" Johnson)
John McCall (b 1833 IL) seaman, who married Martha Ann Garner (Jacob A and Matilda "Hays" Johnson);
Elisabeth M Nodel (b 1842 TX); and Mary Ann Black (b 1827 FL).

She married John A. Beaumont on 23 January 1852 in Jefferson Co. He was born in 1807 in Pennsylvania. He was a cabinet maker by trade. In 1850 he was shown in the Jeff Co Census as living with Charles N Baxter.
Sapphire on the Neches: "Only two families can be identified as living at Grigsby's Bluff in 1850, namely a widower, John A. Beaumont, age 42, of Pennsylvania; his son, Jacob; and daughter Josephine, ages 11 and 8... Beaumont apparently d in Texas in 1840 for his daughter was born here in 1842, but he evidently came too late and was omitted from a land grant by the county's Board of land Commissioners, which met between 1838-1840."

John Beaumont died sometime between 1860 and 1870 when the census shows Frederika as head of household in Sparks Settlement, with four children, Louise, Helen, James A, and John Christian, still living with her. (Sapphire on the Neches saysy had at least 5 children).

She is buried at Magnolia Cemetery beside one of her sons.

John Christian Beaumont married Emma Lee, daughter of Samuel Lee and ELIZA "ELIZABETH" JANE SPARKS, daughter of John S. SPARKS and Melinda JONES. Information about their family is listed under ELIZA SPARKS.

33994 XXXi. CAVALIERS AND PIONEERS: ANCIENT PLANTERS: INTRODUCTION

The following list includes those who are known to have come to Virginia before the close of the year 1616, survived the massacre, appear in the Muster of 1624/5 as then living in Virginia, and to most of whom the term "Ancient Planter" may with justification be applied.

Thomas Willoby (Willoughby). Came to Virginia in 1610, aged 9. Lt. and Capt. Commissioner for Elizabeth City. and in 1639 presiding justice of Lower Norfolk. Burgess, 1627/8; Upper Part of Elizabeth Ctiy, 1629/30; 1631/2. Appointed to the Council in 1639. A number of patents issued in his name. In Lower Norfolk Co., Aug. 16, 1658, a commission of administration was granted to Mr. Tho. Willoughby on the estate of his father Capt. Tho. Willoughby, deceased in England.
==
Captain Thomas Willoughby (1601 - 1664) was elected to the House of Burgesses from Elizabeth City in 1632 and from Lower Norfolk County in 1639; helped Henry Sewell establish a church at Sewell's Point in 1640; Thomas2 Willoughby born in 1632, educated in London and was Lieutenant Colonel in Virginia, and Thomas3, of Elizabeth River in County Lower Norfolk, VA, "gentleman, sole son and heir of the Hon. Lieut. Colonel Thomas Willoughby" of the same Parish. The first Thomas Willoughby owned land prior to 1626 and built a manor house in 1635 just north of Mason Creek Road; Willoughby's Point wasn't known as a "Spit" (peninsula) as yet, deemed to be formed in a 1749 hurricane. The estate (360 acres) was sold by heirs in 1826. Willoughby was largely undeveloped until the 1900's, when the Jamestown Exposition of 1907 led to more cottages, the Hampton Roads Yacht Club and a small marina. Willoughby, like Ocean View was annexed by Norfolk in 1923.
===
Willoughby takes its name from Captain Thomas Willoughby, who arrived in Virginia in 1610 at the age of nine as a passenger on the ship Prosperous
===
The Old Dominion in the Seventeenth Century By Warren M. Billings
===
1624 -- Thomas Willoughby granted 500 acres by King James I (present-day Ocean View).
1636 - William Willoughby granted 200 acres by King Charles I (present-day downtown Norfolk).
===
His wife was named Alice (last name unknown) and his son, Thomas, was born in 1632 and his daughter, Elizabeth, in 1635. (3) His wife may have been Alice Layton, daughter of John Layton and Ann Burras who were the first English marriage on American soil in 1608 in Virginia. Elizabeth married before her brother, thus she may have been the eldest. This could mean that her father, Thomas married about 1628-1630. Out of an 18 year period, he spent 12 years old of colony. Much time was spent in England and probably Barbados.
on a deposition dated 26 November 1650, he signed it Captain Thomas Willoughby, gentleman, aged 52. He died April 15, 1657 (age 57 or 59) in Al Halowes, Barking, England. (3) (7) He left an estate in Barbados. (7)
