901 "A more scandalous episode occurred in February 1757 when "Mary Fox (was) suspended for having a bastard child which she swore was Malakiah Bonham's. Sent for Mr. Benjamin Griffey and Mr. Benjamin Miller in regard to Malakiah Bonham who will be notified by Brother (Peter) Romaine." In August of that year, Bonham was 'found guilty and barred from the church' and though he tried for several years to get the suspension lifted, the elders steadfastly refused to readmit him to the congregation."

906 "According to the biography of John Breckenridge, the Kentucky senator of the Civil War period, his family came to this country in about 1728 from Ulster, Ireland. The family originated in Ashire, Scotland, migrated to the highlands of Scotland to Breadalbane, Scotland, later to the North of Ireland. As Protestants, the Breckenridges took part in some of the wars in Ireland in which Alexander's father was a leader. The Protestants being again defeated, Alexander and his brother fled to America into Philadelphia. They remained for some years in Pennsylvania. Alexander moved on to Virginia by way of Staunton, then east again to Albemarle County and was living in Augusta Co, Virginia in 1738. His brother remained in Pennsylvania and retained the original spelling of Brackenridge."

913 "Alexander Mathes III went to Washington County, TN, (then NC) with his father, in October 1782. They were on the road when Cornwallis surrendered his army at Yorktown, VA. [Cornwallis surrendered October 19, 1781.] He settled near Washington College, where he spent a long and useful life, occupying a position of prominence.

"He succeeded his father as ruling elder in Salem church, serving in that capacity for a period of sixty years, from 1806 to 1865, at the time of his death."

"In 1819 he built, near Washington College, a large three-story residence of hewn logs, with stone basement. The rooms were very large with plenty of windows, and there was a center chimney with fireplace in each room. This was quite a pretentious home in those pioneer days. Many years later, weatherboarding was nailed on over the logs, and in 1919, after having stood one hundred years, it was remodeled into a modern home. It passed out of the ownership of the family. It was sometimes called the 'Ark'."

"Alexander Mathes III was a farmer and brick mason. He was a strict Presbyterian and considered with regret the fact that bread was baked in his home on the Sabbath. He was a very large man, weighing nearly three hundred pounds; about 5 feet 11 inches in height; had clear blue eyes, dark hair and florid complexion."

Fain Anderson wrote: "Alexander Mathes Jr. was a considerable man, in ability and weight (weighing more than 300 pounds). I knew him from 1852 until his death, a pure noble Christian gentleman."

The will of Alexander Mathes III dated December 7, 1863, probated March term 1865, is of record in Will Book 2, page 120 Washington County Courthouse, TN.

916 "Anne Arundel Gentry" states: "The three outstanding aristocratic Howard families of Maryland and their English background have presented a study for the family historian for the present as well as the past generations. Edmund Howard, of Charles County, Cornelius Howard of Baltimore County and Mathew Howard of Anne Arundel County all in some manner can claim descent from the family ranking next to the Royal House of England, but how they fit in is a puzzle yet to be solved -- all three were conscious of their armorial rights and used the trappings in Maryland after they emigrated from their native England."

Edmund HOWARD Esq. Gent; maybe son of William & Elliner Howard (Inventories & Accounts Charles County Maryland Vol. 1798-1802, 24 Dec 1799 p. 255, 227-28) James Carricoe, n.d, Mr. Grover C. Wentworth, 106 Laclede Ave., Rockford, IL 61102 states that Edmund HOWARD is the son of William & Elliner HOWARD, no sources were given.

918 "Annie Payne Shelton settled in Murry Co, Tenn. Shelton is Scotch. Payne is Irish and Wilson 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 reared in at 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 Martha who married a Wallis reared 3 sons. Dan, Frank, and Robert. Then a Mr. Hartwell reared 2 sons and one daughter. 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 Granmother first married a John 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 Mariah 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 wan 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 Washington's older daughter Mrs. C.F. Jones who he said lived near Stephenville, Erath, 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.

hello out there.

Is anyone searching for JOHN SHELTON THE TAILOR, born in King William Co. Va., who lived in Richmond Va, and Knox Co TN for a while, finally setling down in Maury Co. TN.? He died in 1835. I know he had parents and siblings and cousins.
Is anyone looking for him?

His wife was Elizabeth, (last name unknown.)

Sincerely, Alex Ko

Hi 'Lumoto"

I have a family which has such similarity to yours I thought I would send it on to you.

George Shelton b, abt 1809 VA md Dolly b. abt 1815 TN Children:

Mary E. b abt 1834,
Nancy W. b abt 1836,
James J. b. abt 1838,
Kisiah P. b. abt 1843
Geo. W. b. abt 1846

Don't know if this will help but it certainly has four children who have names very similar to your George Washington and Annie Payne family.

My 3rd Great-Grandfather was George Wilson SHELTON, b. 1822 TN, m. Nancy Vincent RICE, ended up in Johnson Co. IL; I show George's parents as:
William SHELTON Jr. b. 1796 and Martha "Patsy" Payne.
His parents William Shelton, m. 1786 in Pittsylvania Co. VA to Martisha Taylor.

Sounds like we're "family".

My line extends thru their dau Susan Shelton and her 1st husb, John Kirk.

"I believe the consent was given by a male (should have been spelled "Francis" Meadows), perhaps by the father of the Francis Meadows who married Frances Bush. Archibald must have been the brother to Frances Bush as John Bush was also a witness. So I think we had a brother and sister Bush marrying a brother and sister Meadows, possibly with the father of Francis Meadows being another Francis Meadows. If not, it gets harder to figure out!"

920 "Archibald Preston's parents were Phineas and Letitia Hammond Preston, a Protestant couple born of families that were clearly anti-Royalist. In the Cavalier era, that time that featured the return of the Stuart Prince of Wales Charles II to the English throne following the death of Oliver Cromwell, both Prestons and Hammonds, the latter of which included a "regicide" (an official found guilty of helping to orchestrate the execution of King Charles I in 1649), suffered. Possibly coincidental, but within a year of the departure of the Prestons for the plantations of Ireland, King Charles II attempted in 1672, with overwhelming protests from his parliament, to remove laws that punished religious dissent. The pro-Stuart Anglican backlash against both Protestant and Catholic dissenters no doubt left many Puritans still in England uneasy, and it was said that the family had originally left England because of religious persecution."

940 "Campbell County Tennessee USA: A History of Places, Faces, Happenings, Traditions, and Things", Vol. I., by Dr. Miller McDonald. Campbell County, Tennessee County History. . As specified in the act that created the county, the first court was held at the home of Richard Linville. Linville owned his home, a farmstead, and public tavern in the area where La Follette is presently located. This site was selected because of Linville's prominence in the community and because the public house owned and operated by him was thought to be big enough to hold meetings pertaining to public affairs. Due to the size of the crowd in attendance, court was moved outside and held out of the back of an old-time wagon bed. Linville owned a copper still and was famous for the manufacture of "Indian Peach Brandy".

Campbell County Court Record Index. Chapter and Section 21.6. Campbell County Court held at his home.

Campbell County Tennessee USA (see above): History of Jacksboro, Tennessee. The town of Jacksboro and the land area surrounding it are more closely tied to Campbell County, its government and history than any other. As a small town it ranks among the oldest. ... The location of Jacksboro as the county seat for Campbell County was settled only after some debate and wrangling. The act creating Campbell County in 1806 appointed as commissioners James Grant, William Hancock, Jacent Cloud, Robert Glenn, RICHARD LINVILLE, Sampson David and John English to "lay out a place, the most suitable and convenient in said county for the purpose of erecting a court house, prison and stocks."

951 "Col. David Taggart," in _Genealogical and Biographical Annals of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania_, published by J.L. Floyd & Co., Chicago, 1911. p9. Library of Congress microfilm collection. "...

Thomas Taggart, the founder of this family in America and in Northumberland county, was born May 10, 1728, in Ireland, of Scotch-Irish descent, and emigrated with his brother Robert prior to 1750, the young men settling in Philadelphia, where Robert became a merchant. About 1775 Thomas Taggart arrived at the town of Northumberland, where he became a leading merchant. Settling at Queen and Front streets, near what was later the site of Morgan's shoe store, he was a well known resident of the place until his death, which occurred April 13, 1788. He married Mary Vanderbilt, a native of Philadelphia, who died in Northumberland in 1805.

Their descendants have been prominent in public life, in business matters, and in the wars of the country. Their family was a large one, viz.:

Elizabeth, born June 15, 1753, married William Bonham, and died about 1780 (her son, Thomas, was for many years a tanner at Northumberland, but finally removed to Wabash county, Ill., where he died);

Christiana, born May 12, 1755, married a Mr. Sample, and settled in Allegheny county, this State;

Robert was born Feb. 18, 1757;

John, born June 30, 1759, died July 21, 1759;

Catharine, born Sept. 6, 1760, married Capt. John Painter, and died in 1840;

Thomas, born Oct. 22, 1762, died Jan. 16, 1780 (he was killed by Indians);

Mary, born Jan. 19, 1765, married a Mr. Patterson, a noted frontiersman of Pennsylvania, and died Feb. 8, 1773 [sic, 1791];

William, born Oct. 3, 1771, died Jan. 24, 1773;

David, born Feb. 21, 1769, died May 17, 1812;

William (2), known as 'Old Major' Taggart, born Aug. [unclear on copy - 6?] 1773, kept store at an early day in Northumberland and in the latter part of his life resided in Chillisquaque township, where hed died at the age of eighty years; and

James was born Jan. 1, 178-."

957 "DEATH OF A PIONEER.

Mrs. William J. Young , wife of Judge Young, died at their home north of Potter at 4 this morning, after a two hours' illness, aged 77 years. Mrs. Young had not been well for some time, but was able to be up and around every day. She had trouble in getting her breath when she lay down and frequently got up in the night to sit in a chair. Her husband heard her moaning at two o'clock this morning, got up and found her in the chair in a speechless condition. He awakened the rest of the family, and though everything was done that could be done, she passed away two hours later, without regaining consciousness.

Mrs. Young had married twice. Left a widow with one child at her home in Andrew county, MO, she came to Kansas in November, 1854, taking up the claim which was her home to the day of her death. William J. Young, who had been her old neighbor in Andrew county, had arrived the previous June, and had taken up the claim which hers adjoined. He was a widower with five children, and in May, 1855, there was a union of the two families by a marriage of their heads, and the groom moved with his five children to the claim of his bride. There were six children in the family, and eight more arrived in rapid succession, and all were raised to manhood and womanhood, and though it was a case of his children, her children, and their children, it was a most harmonious family.

Mrs. Young made the first pie made in Atchison county. It was made of sheep sorrel [buckwheat family]. She had the first peaches grown in the county. This was in 1859, and in 1860, she had such a big crop that people drove down from Atchison to see the rare sight. She is survived by her husband, aged 90, and by nine children, and a great many grandchildren and great- grandchildren. Three of her children live in Atchison county: Mrs. Abe Ashcraft, Sam Young, and Will Young, who lives on the old homestead. She was a woman of remarkable memory, and an alert brain, and possessed many admirable qualities. The funeral will be held from the home on Friday afternoon at one o'clock, the Rev. W. T. Hilton of Atchison officiating. Interment will be made in a private burial ground on the home place."

He was, for many years, an active and useful member of the convention which framed her constitution. He also served in her border wars with honor and gallantry after having at an early period of his life borne arms against an invading foe in the Revolutionary War. He has also served in the Legislative Council of Florida, of which body he was for a time president. Col. Stone was related to some of the most distinguished families both in Georgia and South Carolina; but his eulogy is not dependent upon any such adventitious circumstances, for he was emphatically a firm and uncompromising patriot, and an honest and upright man."

"Josiah took over his (Trader William Doak, Doaks Stand) business with the Choctaw's following his death and later opened Doaksville as a community in the Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory"....
clearly William's brother... "It is highly unlikely that the Choctaw's would have been so receptive to William's cousin (which Josiah would have been if William was the son of James Wilson Doak). Wiliam, however, was considered a kinsman by the Choctaw due to the wife or concubine he had taken, who was the daughter or niece of Mingo Apukshunnubbee. Therefore, his brother, although having just one wife who was white, would still be accepted. A cousin is doubtful."

976 "further comment is in order on Thomas Lovelady's diary, transcribed by Gordon K. Lovelady, grandson. The diary is the one priceless shred of evidence that links James Lovelady to Sevier County, Tennessee, thus enabling descendants to trace his origin. In a March 1863 diary excerpt, Thomas recounts riding his horse through Tennessee, crossing the Cumberland Mountains and the Little Tennessee River, finally arriving in Sevierville<\m>his father's boyhood home - where he meets his aunts (unnamed, but the only Loveladys still in Sevier County: Elizabeth, Mary Jane, and Nancy). In addition, Thomas notes some other family relationships which are very helpful as well. Without his son's diary, James Lovelady's connection to East Tennessee most likely would never have been known or documented due to an 1856 Sevier County Courthouse fire which destroyed many early records."

979 "Hall's Narrative"

"I was born in Surrey County, North Carolina, in the year 1775, and my father sold his possessions in North Carolina in 1779, and started for Kentucky. He came on to New River, in Virginia, and purchased a tract of land and remained there to 1785. He did this in consequence of the times being so perilous and troublesome that he could not then get through the wilderness with his family. He sold his plantation there in the fall of 1785 and moved to Sumner County, which was made a county that year, arriving here on the 20th of November, 1785.

He settled near Bledsoe's Lick on the spot where I am at present residing. Leaving his family at Bledsoe's' Fort, he came out during that winter, put up buildings and moved his family to the place. In the spring of 1786 the Indians came and stole all his horses, twelve or fifteen in number. He then moved his family back to the fort, and continued there until the next fall. He then returned and lived here until the summer of 1787, the Indian War having broken out during the summer of that year. My brother James was killed on the 3d of June, in 1787, at this place, being the first white person killed in this section after the war broke out. The circumstances are these:

James and myself went to a field at Mr. Gibson's about a quarter a mile from my father's house, we having put our horses up there, and the Indians fifteen in number, had ambuscaded the road, ten lying behind some logs on the road, and five, about fifty yards further up in a treetop, at the gap in the pasture fence. The ten Indians behind the log let us pass them - I suppose because we were boys, probably intending to quietly tomahawk us. But after we passed the ten rose up with their tomahawks in their right hands and their guns in their left. I was noticing them, and my brother was close behind me. As I turned to speak to him about some corn with which to catch the horses, as we were near the fence, I saw the whole ten hemming us in. The case looked so hopeless that I never dreamed of resistance, and had concluded at once to surrender. But the next thing I saw two of them struck my brother as he turned around, each striking their tomahawks into his brain one on each side of the forehead. Instantly seeing the case was hopeless, I sought to dodge the ten, when up rose the other five from the treetop, and as I fled past them, I was so near to them that some of them raised their tomahawks to strike me down.

Dashing into the thick canebrake, close by which the road ran, two of them rushed after me. Being thirteen years of age, and, of course, slimmer than they were, and withal very active, I soon found that, unencumbered with gun or anything else, I could make my way through the thick cane faster than they could. The first misstep that befell me, a grapevine caught me by the neck, threw me over backwards, and took off my hat; but, recovering myself, I still fled onward, gaining on them at every jump. I feared, at last, that they would cut me off at the point of a ridge which I had to cross to get to my father's house, since the thick cane terminated a little distance below, and I should there be compelled to leave it. Watching one fellow, who was running along the hillside were the cane was the thickest, as Heaven ordered it, a large tree had fallen right in his path, crushing the cane about in all directions, and forming an insurmountable obstacle, thus compelling him to go around one end or the other. Fortunately, he took down towards me to get around the top, and by the time he had got to the end of it, I had already passed it, and consequently had them the whole tree behind me. They, however, ran me to within 100 yards of the house. They killed and scalped my poor brother and then fled.

As I got to the house a half dozen young men and as many young women were coming on a visit to my father's. The young men were all armed, and they at once jumped off their horses and ran back with me to where my brother was lying, and brought him in. The word immediately given out, the fort being only about a mile distant, and five men under Major James Lynn instantly went in pursuit of the Indians. The latter had taken buffalo trace from Bledsoe's Lick to Dickson's Lick through the canebrake, and the Major, being an old Indian fighter, told his men that they would not pursue directly after them for fear of an ambush, but as they, the whites, were the fewest, they would take another trace, which led on to Goose Creek ahead, and where the trace crossed they could there find out whether the gang had passed. Pursuing this plan, they came upon the Indians right in the creek, and, firing upon them, they fled, two of them being wounded, leaving their baggage behind them. The whites brought back my poor brother's scalp, which had been tied to a pack, and likewise one of the tomahawks with which he had been killed, the blood still upon it.

My father was not at home when my brother was killed, having been summoned to Nashville to attend a council General Robertson was holding with Little Owl and others of the Cherokee chiefs.

After my father returned from Nashville, three families of us residing out from the fort held a council as to whether we should spend the summer at the farms or go to the fort at Bledsoe's Lick. Our two neighbors were Messrs. Gibson and Harrison, and the former having no white family, it was agreed that the three should combine and hire each two young men to guard the farms through the season.

From the 3d of June, accordingly, the day after my brother was killed, to the 2d day of August, we had no alarm, but on that day the spies came in and advised my father to pack up at once and move to the station; that the Indians were at least thirty in number. We accordingly loaded up a sled and started for the fort. We started with the first load in the morning, my sister being alone on horseback, going to the fort to arrange things at the cabins as fast as they should arrive, and we had two men along also, my brother and a Mr. Hickerson, to guard us. When about half a mile from my father's house, and crossing Defeated Creek, the horses became alarmed, the two I was driving turning so suddenly around as to nearly run over me. I said to the young men that I was sure the horses smelt the Indians, but my brother insisted upon going onward, which we did, making four trips during the day.

When we came late in the evening to make the last trip and take the family to the fort, five men went along to guard the family thither. We packed up when the sun was about two hours high, whites, negroes, and all, I still driving the horses, my little brother behind me on one of them. We had arranged it that we should go ahead as we had been doing all day, the two young men in advance of me and the sled. The Indians, forty or fifty in number, had arranged an ambuscade on both sides of the road for about 100 yard, and as we went on, my brothers and Hickerson in advance, a little dog belonging to my brother showed violent alarm on approaching the top of a large ash tree that had fallen in the road. My brother was just in advance, and as he stopped a moment I stopped the horses to see what was the cause of the alarm evinced by the dog.

My brother took a step forward towards the tree top, when immediately I saw a gun poked out from amongest the leaves, which, being fired at once, my brother was shot right through the body with a couple of bullets. He instantly turned and dashed back into the woods and fell dead about 100 years off, while the Indians, finding themselves discovered rose all together, yelling like demons, and charged upon our party. Hickerson took his stand unwisely right in the road instead of treeing, and his gun missing fire, he next attempted to use my gun, which he had in his hand, but in the act of firing it he was shot with six or seven bullets, and running a distance, he also fell and expired.

At this I jumped off the horse, and taking my little brother John, and my sister Prudence, I ran back and placed them behind the men, who, advancing, kept the Indians a few moments at bay. My mother was mounted upon a large, powerful horse, and he, scared quite ungovernable, dashed right along the entire line of the Indians, whilst she holding he mane was carried about a mile distant to the fort.

My father and Mr. Morgan, my brother-in-law, kept the Indians in check until the white and negroes scattered into the woods, and Morgan was then wounded by the Indians, who, flanking around, shot him very dangerously through the body. He however, succeeded in escaping, my father keeping the savages back for some little time longer, but finally, after firing his heavy rifle, which I could mark distinctly from the report made, so different from that by the Indians' guns, he turned and ran about forty yards, when he fell, pierced by thirteen bullets. The Indians scalped him and hastily fled, not stopping to take anything but his rifle and shot pouch, and in their hot haste they did not even pick up the things scattered by the overturning of the sled, the horses having dashed it against a tree as they broke clear of it at the first alarm.

Meanwhile, I had directed my little brother and sister to run back to the house, I awaiting behind a tree upon the hill above the result of the fight, and when I heard my father fire and the Indians raise the yell, thereupon I started for the fort. My little brother and sister ran back to the house, but the alarmed dogs barking at them they ran back to the scene of the battle. Here they found Mr. Morgan's hat, which the little boy picked up, and coming to the sled, my little sister picked up also a small pail of butter, and the two thoughtlessly walked on towards the fort, along the road, meeting the men directly who were coming from thence. The children were placed in charge of a negro man, who took them safely back.

After by father was killed my mother concluded to move to Greenfield Fort, her two sons-in-laws living there, and so I moved her there soon after, where we remained until the December following."

Dawson. In 1888 it was printed from a slightly different version, and abridged as a "Narrative of a Journey down the Ohio and Mississippi," in a small volume edited by Dr. Lyman C. Draper, who had apparently not seen the eaerlier appearance of the work. It is a very interesting account of travel in the then west, and is otherwise valuable. In the "Narrative," Major Forman refers to his cousin as "uncle" on account of the difference in their ages. In a private letter Major Forman stated that there were no less than twelve Samuel Formans living in Monmouth Co at the same time -- the latter part of the eighteenth century; and to avoid confusion each assumed the name of his father as a middle name."

This land, fronting on Lake Sabine, was part of a 250-acre tract that the Franklins had purchased from Thomas Holt in 1851. Sparks immediately set to work building a house, into which he moved his family in time for the birth of another child. Then, within the week, fire destroyed the new home, and the family returned to Pave11's Island, where friends took them in. But by the autumn of 1854 he had started another house which he completed in the spring, and the family returned."
http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/port-arthur-4.shtml

The Holts and Franklins were listed in Sabine Pass 1850 census records. This land must have been on the Sabine Pass side of the waterway (Taylor Bayou) rather than the Port Arthur side. However mention is made that his ferry was bout where the Gulf main office building is on West 7th Street in Port Arthur. Would that part of Port Arthur be considered Sabine Pass in the census records?

In 1858 he purchased 100 acres from C.S Hunt on what was known as Old River Cove for $80. That is for sure the Sparks Settlement location.

" 'Yt Deacon Wright shall have for his labor in ye employment 50s per month for such time as he attends on ye said work.' "

In speaking of the employment of a minister it was said: "He must needs be a smart man with such men as Dea Wright and Dea Chapin in the pews."

? Cattleman Sees 100 Years?

When he was born, his grandfather (Sam Lee) and a friend each gave him six heifers and his mother gave him three. His cows still roam the property making Walter Beaumont a true 100-years-old cattleman.Beaumont was 6 month old when he moved into Grove from Aurora (the old name of Port Arthur).

He celebrated his 100th birthday Saturday. He has lived in Grove all his life.Walter Beaumont is still in good health and looks 20 or 30 years younger than his true age. Maybe it was his activity that has kept him so well preserved because he was still feeding cattle and doing other chores up until four years ago when he broke his hip.

He says he can remember things better now from a long time ago than from the recent past.Things in Grove were a lot different when he arrived with his family in 1886. Beaumont didn?t have any neighbors. The Beaumont Pasture Company, owned all the land from Grove to Taylor Bayou that was used primarily for grazing. Now there?s a massive chemical plants a few yards behind his house.Back then they raised cattle on their 650 acres of property.

Beaumont lived with his grandparents, the Lee?s, who built the house he still lives in back in 1886.Life was different for a child growing up around the turn of the century. Beaumont only went to school from second Monday in September until Christmas and for a week or so afterwards for review. October was a vacation month, although that?s when they had to go out and work in the fields.The school was located in Port Neches at the corner of Port Neches Avenue and Nail Street where the First National Bank to be. It was a one-room school that Beaumont commuted to on horseback and he only attended from age 9 to 17. The closest high school was in Beaumont. Back then wasn?t a 15-minute commits and was too for away for him to attend.

His grandparents basically raised cattle although they did grow vegetables, corn for feed and sugar cane for making syrup. The mail came once a week, and they made a trip to the store in Beaumont every two weeks.Beaumont remembers when Griffin Nursery came in 1910 and planted 365 acres of pecan trees in Grove. Asa Grove also came in around that time and divided part of Grove into plots to be developed. John W. ?Bet-a-Million? Gates built an oil derrick on Beaumont?s property in the early 1900's after a well they were digging in the area yielded oil. No oil was found on the Beaumont property, but Gates let him keep the derrick.

Gates also built a wooden pipeline for water from a well in Port Neches to Port Arthur.He also recalls the Pevatos, Lloyds and other families moving from Johnson?s Bayou and Port Arthur after the flood of 1915. They settled along the Neches River, which is 18 1/2 feet higher than the ground level of Port Arthur.

Beaumont married Minnie Albers in 1916 and took over his grandfather?s house after she died in 1920. In 1920 Walter Beaumont began operation of his dairy, which he operated until 1957. The Beaumont had four children - Carl, Sam, Dirk and Lucy Marie - and they grew up milking cows. At its peak the dairy operated with 35 Jersey and Guernsey cows. Beaumont would arise as early as 2:30 or 3 a.m. to go about his daily chores. The Beaumont Dairy had a unique motto painted on the side of its Model T Ford delivery truck: You can whip our cream, but you can?t beat our milk.During World War II Beaumont served on the Port Neches School Board for 21 years.

He was named Mr. Grove in 1975.The Groves City Council proclaimed Nov. 18-24 as ?Walter Beaumont Week.? Groves will honor him with a birthday party today from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Grove Activity Center.

1000 "History of the Sparks Family":
First student of schoolhouse in the Sparks Settlement. Teacher was Miss Mary Page from Sabine Pass, who was paid $10 per month for teaching Emma and she was allowed to secure other children to teach. In time a one-room school was built by the settlers and the teacher was given room and board by the parents of her students. The school began in 1881 and is reported to be the first one to be located in what is now the City of Port Arthur. Records do not show how long the village school operated, but it is believed that it existed up to the time the settlement was abandoned in the early 1890s. 		Lee, Emma Ann (I430)
