They must have moved to Jefferson Co sometime between 1830 and 1834. James died some time thereafter. Marie remarried Francios GALLIER, JR. in Jefferson Co. She was apparently widowed again by 1870 as she was living with her son James, JR, in Taylor Bayou and in 1880 at age 83 with her granddaughter Mary Hayes HEMMINGWAY. Also listed in 1880 was her g-dau, Missouri Hayes Hemmingway. Listed as Blind -- said father from S.C., mom from MS.

1850 census: living with Marie & Francis Gallier were their granddaughters Eliza and Melissa Ann Myers. Melissa Ann Myers m James Chambers.

1860 census: age 64, midwife, LA, living with John McCall, husband of her granddaughter Martha Hayes; however Martha is not listed. Francis is living with the Myers granddaughters, Eliza now married to Alvin Morgan and two young children, and Malissa is also there. Only speculation that Francis and Mary are both helping with family situations rather than than being separated. She is in census residence 361 and Francis is in 363, only one residence between them.

John son of Moses moved early to Jefferson County and stayed there. Births of their children verify their places.

JOHNSON, BENJAMIN

JOHNSON, BENJAMIN (1815?1872). Benjamin Johnson, soldier, early settler, and son of Moses Johnson and Mary Ann Roberts was born on June 8, 1815, near Edgerly (in present-day Calcasieu Parish), Louisiana. He moved to Texas in 1832 and settled at Jefferson Municipality (present-day Bridge City in Orange County) on Cow Bayou.

Johnson volunteered to fight in the Texas Revolution and enlisted in the Texas Army on November 12, 1835, under Capt. Willis H. Landrum?s Company. He participated in the Grass Fight and the siege of Bexar later that year. Johnson was given an honorable discharge on January 1, 1836, at the Alamo. After learning of the fall of the Alamo, he re-enlisted in Capt. James Gillaspie?s Company, in the Second Regiment of Texas Volunteers under Col. Sidney Sherman?s command. On April 21, Sherman formed part of the regiment of the left wing and fought in the battle of San Jacinto. On June 30, Johnson served a third enlistment as second sergeant in Capt. John G. W. Pierson?s Company at Washington. He received an honorable discharge on September 30, 1836.

After service, Johnson received a donation of 320 acres of land for having served in the army. He returned to Jefferson, where on January 24, 1838, he received a 1,440-acre headright from the Jefferson County Board of Land Commissioners.

On April 24, 1838, Johnson married Rachel Garner, daughter of Bradley Garner, Sr., and Sarah Rachel Harmon. Rachel was from a family of military service. Her father fought in the Battle of New Orleans, and her brothers David, Isaac, and Jacob Garner fought at the Grass Fight and the Siege of Bexar. Her brother-in-law Claiborne West was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Soon after marriage Johnson and his new wife settled in Sabine Pass on a farm of his sister-in-law Sarah Garner McGaffey. Records show that Benjamin and Rachel Johnson were one of the earliest settlers in Sabine Pass along with John McGaffey, Thomas Courts, and Jacob Garner. Johnson then appeared before the land commissioners and received an additional headright of 3,000 acres, granted to married men. He and Rachel became the parents of at least eight sons and two daughters.

On July 7, 1838, Johnson was granted an additional 640 acres of donation land for having fought at the battle of San Jacinto. That same year, he was certified as one of fifty-seven jurors to serve in the Jefferson County courts. He was elected a county commissioner on December 2, 1852. He and his family were charter members of the second Baptist Church of Jefferson County.

Rachel Johnson died in 1856. On July 4, 1861, Johnson married Matilda Myers, whom he had employed as his housekeeper. Later that year in August, Benjamin Johnson joined his three sons, Bradley, John, and Uriah Johnson, and served under Ben McCulloch in the Confederate Army. In addition to his military and public service, Johnson was a farmer, stockman, and patriarch. Benjamin Johnson died at the age of fifty-seven at Sabine Pass on October 13, 1872, and was buried at the Johnson family plot at the Sabine Pass Cemetery in Jefferson County. A Texas Historical Marker was erected in his honor in 1972.

Sabine Pass Cemetery - The oldest continually used cemetery in Jefferson County, This graveyard has served the citizens of the Sabine Pass area since the 1840s. The earliest documented grave is that of a 12-year-old John A. Dashiell, son of William V.C. and Mary Dashiell, who died on August 27, 1847. The large site now known as Sabine Pass Cemetery represents a combination of five formerly distinct burial grounds. Included in what was once called "The Colored Peoples Cemetery" is the unmarked grave of 108-year-old Louis Williams. Born a slave in Mississippi in 1813, Williams died on June 23, 1921. Among the burials in this historic graveyard are those of many distinguished military veterans. Able Coffin (1792-1862) and Burwell Jackson (1783-1864) fought in the War of 1812. Jacob Harmon Garner (1814-1887), Benjamin Johnson (1815-1872) and Niles F. Smith (1800-1858) were Texas Revolution veterans. Soldiers and sailors from both the Union and Confederate forces of the Civil War also are interred here. The two Union sailors Patrick Ferlin and Albert W. Marshall, died of wounds sustained during the offshore naval encounter on January 21, 1863, while serving on the ship Morning Light. A number of Confederate veterans rest in the cemetery, as does Kate Dorman, dubbed "the heroine of Sabine Pass" for her assistance of the southern troops. A number of graves have been specially marked with military or state historical markers. Maintained by Jefferson County and cared for by local volunteer organizations, the Sabine Pass Cemetery remains in use by citizens of the area. Its historic gravestones and monuments provide a unique component of the cultural history of Jefferson County. (1999)

Notes:

SLR: Hayes, Milly (James & Marie Johnson) m 16 May 1829 Benjamin Myers (Opel. Ct.Hse.: mar. #36)
She was possibly also married also to Gabriel Lyons.

from Ruth McVey
I received a copy of the marriage of Benjamin MYERS to Milly HAYES where Benjamin and James HAYES posted $500.00 for the marriage. An attachment to the document stated: "Benjamin Myers son of John Myers and Peggy McQueen a native of Attakapas with Milly Hayes legitimate daughter of James Hayes and Mary Johnson a native of Opelousas."

Received copies of Benjamin Myers Heirs from Ms. Sandy Walker County Clerk, Jefferson County.
Jacob H Garner applied and was appointed Guardianship of Benjamin Myers children by the Court at Beaumont c. Evidently Amelia "Milly" (Hayes) Myers was deceased at that time.
Children listed above the age of 14 were: Matilda and Jediah Myers. Children listed under the age of 14 were: Benjamin, Elisa (my ggm), Milly Ann, Lewis & Melissa Ann Myers.
Also appointed as appraisers' were: Joshua Harmon, Robert E Booth & James Walea. Jacob H Garner was listed as principal with Thos H Lewis & John B
(x his mark) Pevito security.

Evidently the original appraisers' didn't pan out and on Nov 29, 1847 the appraisers' were Abraham Winfrey, James Walea & Joshua Harmon were appointed.

Amelia married Benjamin Myers on 16 May 1829 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. Benjamin (son of John Myers and Peggy McQueen) was born on 30 Sep 1805 in Louisiana; died before 20 Jul 1847 in Beaumont, Jefferson Co, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

obvious error on her birthdate or her brother James.

Missouri married Elisha Bunch Thomas on 18 Jul 1844 in Jefferson Co, Texas. Elisha was born in 1818 in Louisiana; died on 9 May 1877 in Colletto Creek, Victoria Co, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

1870 Victoria Co, Texas, Census - listed age 40 LA, husband listed age 53, stock raiser from LA. Also living with them and their children a 19 yr old black man.
Note from Lois Culver: No concrete proof that Alzena Hayes is member of this family (James Hayes Sr & Marie Johnson), only circumstantial. 1830 census shows a child under 5. Family history shows she had a brother Leonard. Family History sas 1st or 2nd cousin to husband. Education, census shows she could read and write.

Alzena married Rudolph Rufus Hayes on 4 Mar 1848 in Brazoria Co, Texas. Rudolph (son of Jacob Hayes and Marie Zilpha Berwick) was born on 05 Jan 1820 in Louisiana; died on 20 Dec 1880 in Matagorda Bay, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jansonne, Joachim (Habraham [Abraham} & Elenore Lesage - from here, legitimate according to the laws of the state) b 13 Aug 1816, bt 29 May 1817 Pats: Moise Jeanson & Anne Robert from America; Mats: Joseph Lesage from Natches & Cecile Heber from Pointe Coupee; spons: Joachim Heber pere (Sr.) & Marie Fontenau, his wife. Fr. Michel Bernard Barriere (Opel Ch. v2. p 104)

from Carole Knight: Nothing in his actual baptism record shows that he was legitimate; I don't know where that came from; it was probably an editorial note made by some subsequent priest.

In checking information posted about this family, someone "created" a marriage date -- and after searching for two years, I couldn't find it anywhere!! In complete frustration, I made a special trip to the Opelousas church and checked EACH and EVERY page from January 1814 to December 1817 and found no marriage record for Eleanore or Abraham and no further information about Joachim/Benjamin. At that moment in time there was no other way for a marriage to have occurred and she was VERY catholic and Joachim was raised Catholic; if she had been married, it would have been noted at her marriage to Fruge, there would have been a Succession; there would have been a family council and a natural and undertutor. Since none of those things happened, it appears it was a liason, not a marriage ... and they were VERY young. Later records about Joachim/Benjamin reveal he was raised a Catholic; hence the ease in tracking him and his through the 1800's.
_____
At his untimely death in 1856 or 57, he left several children of tender age (Louisa, Francois, Bennett, Benjamin, John and Benoit) “in helpless condition”. She was appointed natural tutor and Louis Lavergne was appointed undertutor. His godfather Joachim Hebert conducted and attested to the estimative inventory which at sale resulted in the buy-back by the widow of several items including the crop of corn, an acre of potatoes, a creole horse, a caleche and a double barrel gun.

Joachim married Marianne LaCombe about 1840. Marianne was born about 1818; died after 1858. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

The book "The Story of Beaumont" is on-line in html (web page)format with an index and list of illustrations that were created for it (it had neither). Published in 1925/26, it is a valuable reference for early East Texas researchers. The index has the actual page numbers where the reference is found to make citations more precise.

The table of contents can be found here:

It can be a lengthy download if on a dial-up connection, so it is also available without the graphics at:

"G. W. Hargraves, who was captain of a little Beaumont company of militia in August, 1835, had sixty-two men under him, twenty of whom took part in the battle of the Alamo. He also was at the head of twenty-one volunteers who started to join ston to stop the advance of Santa Anna, but the battle of San Jacinto was fought before they reached that place, and they were ordered to rout some hostile Indians north of the town. Men Mr. Hargraves could remember years after who were in his company, were;

(note: Jim Courts was born 1829; so, he would have been 6 yrs old.
_____________
Lived with John Sparks right after marriage (1850 Census - census date 24 Oct; marriage date, Oct 15), but must not have stayed there very long. They are also listed in 1850 living with James Eaves, a laborer, and his wife Eliza (ages 37), with the Eaves' children, Rachel, 8; Lazil, 5; and Joseph, 2, all from Louisiana except Joseph who was born in Texas. Julia was only 14. Listed as a farmer.
_____________
The marriage of James Courts, son of Thomas and Ann Johnson Court, and Julia Ann Sparks, 13 year old daughter of John Sidney and Melinda Jones Sparks, brought together two of the founding families of lower East Texas. Thomas and Ann, with James as a baby, came to Sabine Pass about 1829/30. The historical marker in Sabine Pass Lion's Club Parks states that our Court Family and another family named McGaffey were here "as early" as 1832. Not only were they in Texas before it became a state, they were here during the time that it was part of Mexico, and in 1836, when it became a Republic in its own right. Our family can truly say we are mutli-generation Texans.

The Sparks arrived in Texas, traveling by covered wagon from Tennessee, in 1838, when Julia Ann was just two. They settled on Pavel's Island first, then came ashore at Sabine Lake and became the first permanent anglo inhabitants of what was called "Aurora", and which eventually became Port Arthur.

The Pioneer Spirit prevailed as both families withstood early life on the Gulf Coast. Yellow Fever, mosquitos, hurricanes and tropical storms, alligators and other wild creatues combined to make life harrowing and an adventure at the same time. Some of those stories will be included in other history items.

James and Julia began their married life in Aurora, and eventually built their own cabin. Julia's brothers, sisters, and some cousins married and remained in the area of Aurora. James' siblings stayed in the area of Sabine Pass and Port Arthur as well, although several moved away after they reached adulthood.

James and Julia had 13 children, most of who have descendents still living here in the Golden Triangle. We have located descendents of the other children as well.

James and Julia are featured in the Museum of the Gulf Coast in the section on "Aurora." Pictures of both of them and several other family members (Sparks) are on display.

(Note from Kirby Courts:)
James "Jim" was one of the first Pony Express Riders in Texas. He carried mail from Sabine Pass to Harrisburg (Houston), Texas. He was also a farmer and cattleman. During the Texas Battle for Independence in 1836, James was on the muster Roll for Jefferson Co. George Hargraves organized the company. They were known as "Capt. Chessire's Company Volunteers." (Jefferson Co Historical Commission Veterans, Pt 1). The Book "Pioneer Remimscences of Jefferson County" by T.J. Russell, p 34, states in Sabine Pass "Thomas Courts and son, James Courts, were there with John McGaffey at an early day. Both are dead. Several children of James Courts are now in this county."

________________________________________
From Frank Courts: I also checked the article on the removal of graves from the private cemetery where Dupont is now located on Port Arthur Road in the 60's. It states that James M. And Julia were both found there and moved to Forest Lawn. It also lists the other graves, 22 in all, including a James F. (as you stated) and a James C. Court as being moved from there. I dont know why your list is different. I have been to Forest Lawn and have seen the moved graves. The remains were grouped under four headstones which say "T. F. Smith Homestead Tract Cemetery" or something similar. Forest Lawn does have the names listed, and Carroll Wallace funeral home has other records of the move, which they coordinated. T. F. Smith was somehow connected with the Sparks, I believe.

Hi Sherry,
I received this info from a friend who "lives" genealogy and has been very helpful to me. His name is James A. Johnson age 75 who lives in Bellaire but doesn't have a computer. He sent the following:

1850 St. Landry #1996-2361 #455-455

Vigel Frozia 45 Farmer $800 Pers. LA (1850 Fruge 40)
Mary 46 (35) LA
Artimese 14 LA (17 Pierre, 10 Louisa, Artimese 8)
Susan 12 (6) LA
Uzenie 10 (1) LA (Eugene)
Useph 8 LA (Joseph?)
Phitestine 5 LA (Celestine?)
Alzemah 7/12 TX (Azema?)

#456-456

Pier Frozia 23 farm laborer LA (#1996-2361 1850 St Landry age 17)
Elizabeth 17 H.K. LA (b. TX)

Sherry I've written the above just as Mr. Johnson wrote it to me. Hope it's not to confusing. Artemeas/Artimese and Susan were sisters of Pierre but I don't find Denise. Could she have been born later?

I know that my GGF Pierre Frugia (Fruge) married a second time and had a son Lyman Frugia and a dgt. named Goldie. Lyman Frugia, Jr. and his wife Doris Ann live in Vidor and I've written to her twice sending her my data in hopes she would share but she hasn't.

From marriage books for Jefferson County I have Pier Fruge m. Julia Courta 14 Jul 1897 and Pierre Fruge m. Mrs. Lidia Cuniff 31 Aug 1891. I know that my GGF Pierre called his son Pierre "Peter" but I have nothing else. So I don't know who married whom.

You can say I'm still a novice when it comes to genealogy but I'm learning. Do you know if copies of Successions from LA can be ordered by mail? I found several Fruge's listed in Imperial Calcasieu and St. Landry Parish. Also listed were some Hayes. There is a book written by Shirley Burwell of Lake Charles I presume listing all the successions.

Any tips or suggestions are most welcome. Keep in touch.

Ruth

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

from Cindy Owens cindyo@staffnet.com

obit of Francis Smith, great-grandson of Thomas & Annie

Seventh To Drown (1943)
Others of the family were the following: his grandfather Francis M. Smith, his uncle Francis M. Smith, his great-grandfather Thomas Court, his great-uncle JOHN COURT, his uncle Fred Court, and his cousin Leslie Earl Simpson.

Most all these folks were fishermen or watermen of some sort & NONE of them knew how to swim! That's always bogled my mind! Actually I don't know that for sure abt all of them, but I do know the latter ones to drown did not know how to swim.

So who is Fred Court? This confirms John as a s/o Thomas also. Leslie was my Granny's little brother, he was only 16.

Mrs. Kate Dorman ran the Catfish Hotel, which she quickly turned into a hospital. She, Sarah Vosburg, and Sarah Ann [Court] King nursed the victims, but with no medical knowledge or medicines with which to help the sick, the nursing staff could do little else except try to cool the fever until the patient either died or recovered.
(W.T. Block, "Yellow fever plagued area during 1860s"

Tragedy struck Sabine Pass in July, 1862, when Jefferson County's worst epidemic, the dreaded "yellow jack" {yellow fever}, was imported aboard a blockade-runner. In a four-month period, the disease killed 100 residents at Sabine and Beaumont and afflicted at least 200 more. The luckier ones, about 90% of Sabine's inhabitants, fled at the first outbreak, some carrying the disease with them. About forty Confederate soldiers also died of the disease. Only about 30 men of two military companies escaped the malady, and their "principal business was to bury the dead."7

When the hotel tenants and the town's populace fled, Kate turned the Catfish Hotel into a temporary hospital, for there was then no Confederate medical facility in the city. Mrs. Dorman and two friends, Sarah Vosburg and Sarah Ann King, were among the Sabine women who remained to nurse the victims, and all three were fortunate to escape death. Actually, Vosburg, who was the first person to recognize the symtoms of the disease, had survived yellow fever at New Orleans, and as a result was immune to it.

Martin Clifton Court told stories to his grandsons about his father, Thomas Jefferson Court, using an alias and hiding out from the law for a period of time. Thomas has been found on the 1880 Census in San Saba County, Texas. I thought the following excerpt about the history of that county was interesting.

"During the 1880s lawlessness became a problem, and the county experienced a period of "mob rule." In response, citizens formed an anti-mob organization. However, factions developed within the organization, and by 1896 the competing groups wee conducting what amounted to open warfare. After a number of men were killed, the Texas Rangers were dispatched to the area, and order was eventually restored."

Per Sarah's application he was in the Captain Marshes Company

Seth Davis, living in the County of Dallas wrote: I was in Company A, Marshes Cavalry and served with Tom Courts in that Company. He made a good soldier and served until the close of the war. I am not personally acquainted with Mrs. Courts.

Sarah applied for his pension on 3 Aug 1915 and received it from1 Dec 1915 until her death in March of 1917. Sarah was living in Hesse, Texas, Comanche County at the time of the request and her death.

Mary "Mollie", Tom and Sarah's youngest daughter, wrote a letter to the War Department asking that the last pension check be returned to her because it was needed to pay for "sickness and burial expenses". She said the post office returned it before she had an opportunity to collect it. She was denied.

"Paul and Sarah Court's home in Rockport in early years of marriage. Note older woman at right edge of photo. Could this be Anna Court? - abt 1885" Patricia G. Taylor.

reply 5/12/05 Sherry:
"Terrific pictures, Pat!! But this couple doesn't look like the other picture of Paul and Sarah. Unless you have something to date this, it looks like maybe closer to the turn of the century, maybe a little after, which would make the young couple maybe one of Paul & Sarah's kids - in their 20s. Looks like the kids are about 1 1/2 (boy?), 3 (girl?), 5 (girl) -- maybe lady on the right is Sarah and the young man is one of the sons. The lady looks a little darker complexion than the other picture. I don't have all of Paul Phelan's children's families. So, would that family outline fit any of them?"

Galveston Daily News Oct 19, 1886
"Captain Johnson of Bolivar peninsula, who last Saturday, together with Mr. R.H. Slaughter and others oganized a relief committee at the above place for the Sabine sufferers sailed over to Galveston yesterday morning.....
We visited all the surrounding country and part of the pass, and found that the damage and destruction were greater in the country than in the city proper. The first house we came to was Mr. Brad Johnson's place. There was hardly anything left of it to tell the tale. The fences had disappeared completely and all the trees and crops were totally annialated. Brad Johnson was raised at the Pass and is about forty-five years old, and stated that the Sabine blow was the severest hurricane he had ever witnessed. Moise Broussard's house was situated just next to Brad Johnson's and had also suffered more or less. A tank which had been scraped out for stock watering purposes was discovered here with the only fresh water left at Sabine Pass. Out of a total of eleven hundred cattle, owned by Mr. Broussard, which were pasturing at the time of the storm five or six miles this side of the Pass, not one animal escaped he waters. The search for dead bodies is still progressing. A young lady was fished from the jetty works on Saturday who was supposed to be Miss Annie McCall, although the body was not positively identified as such. The body of Homer King still remains undiscovered. "

Bradley married Mary Ann Garner on 8 Jan 1866 in Jefferson Co, Texas. Mary (daughter of Jacob Harmon Garner and Matilda Hayes) was born on 10 Feb 1844 in Jefferson Co, Texas; died on 05 May 1926; was buried in McGaffey Cem, Sabine Pass, Jefferson Co, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Hello Sherry...Earl Gentz lived right around the corner from my dad (Jennings Bryan Nobles and my mom Ethel Mae Lane Nobles)...Although I never met them...possibly gone by the time I would remember them..they nontheless were very close to their nephew...At one time my dad and mom right after they married I am told lived with Uncle Earl Gentz and wife and my brother Jennings Bryan Nobles, Jr. "Buster" was born in their home...Right after that our house 544 Pipkin came up for sale with Dad and mom buying the little house...where all of us lived and where my mom died. I tried to look the Matthew Nobles X Helen Maude Gentz Nobles family up on the 1900 and 1910 census but had no luck in locating them...any advice????

Hi, Stephanie -- Thanks for the added info.

As far as proof of Matilda Grace's parents - looking thru notes - not sure, but just going on what I have written down - which could have been given to me(?) - don't remember; but it looks like a process of elimination. If you look at 1860 census (before she's born) Robert & Ann Gibson had one child, Jesse, less than a year old. (see Robert Gibson's page)

In 1860 Matilda Myers was living in Berry Johnson's household, though he was a widower with several children. They were in residence 364 and Robert Gibson was in residence 362.
1861 Matilda & Berry married Matilda Gibson b 1866
1868 Feb Ann remarried to William Allen
1868 Nov Emma born
1870 shows Ann and Wm Allen and Jesse and Emma
living with her and she had Emma right away
Matilda not listed in 1870; however in 1870 Berry and Matilda have an E. Gibson living with them! She was 78 (1792) b in Mississippi. Could she be Robert's mother? age fits, but he was b Eng? - there's a connection. Robert
b 1830;
1880 by now 15 and had been adopted by Berry and Matilda.
1880 Jesse Gibson was living with Anna Garner McCall wid of James McCall but next door to her mother Ann Gibson & Wm Allen. Anna Garner McCall was cousin and niece to Matilda Myers and gr-niece to Berry.

Just noticed, William Allen also from England, as was Robert Gibson - bet they were connected somehow.

I'll be willing to bet Ann (b 1842 LA) was either a Johnson, Myers, Garner or Hayes. probably had another name along with Ann just to throw us off. lol

All that and the obvious - there were no other Gibsons for her to belong to.
