Three Garland brothers left AL and came to TX. These
brothers were Thomas Jefferson "Jeff" Garland, Andrew
Rice "Bud" Garland and Leonidas Hastings "Jack"
Garland. Some family stories say the brothers came together, but the 1880
Census of Panola County shows only Jack living in the county at that time with
his wife, a six year old daughter who was born in AL and a three year old son
who was born in TX, placing his arrival in the 1874-1877 time slot.
It is possible that Jeff and his family may have made the trek to TX with
Jack as there is documentation that says he came to TX in 1877; however, he must
have first settled in another county as he is not on the 1880 Census of Panola
Co. Andrew's obituary states that
he came to TX in 1894.
Thomas Jefferson "Jeff" Garland
was born Aug. 12, 1837. According
to the Death Certificate filed in Panola County, he died May 22, 1913 at the age
of 73 years. It further states he
died of heart trouble at his home in the Fair Play Community of Panola County.
He is buried in Macedonia Cemetery on U.S. Hwy 79 S, west of Carthage, Panola
Co, TX. The 1860 Census of Barbour
County, AL lists Jeff as a 22 year old hireling in the household of Sarah Massey
and states he was born in GA. He had two minnie balls that lodged in his left
elbow and, in his later life, these pieces of metal could be seen in the summer
when he held his arm up to the sun. Military records show Jeff served from March
or May 1862 through May 1865 in R.F. Kolb's Battery, Alabama Light Artillery.
Witnesses supporting his pension application were A.R. Garland and W.M.
Bryan, both of whom said that they had known him since they were all boys in
Barbour County, AL.
Jeff was possibly married twice before coming to TX.
If that is correct, the name of his first wife is unknown.
The marriage records of Barbour Co, AL show a license issued to Thomas J.
Garland and Martha J. Fuller on Dec. 13, 1860; however, at this time it is not
known if this Thomas J. was Thomas Jefferson or not.
The existence of this first marriage is indicated by the birth of his son
two months before Jeff and Susannah Jane Long were married and by the
Death Certificate of that son stating that his mother's name was unknown.
Jane was Jeff's wife when he came to TX as evidenced by
her CSA Veterans Widow's Pension affidavit.
Jane stated that she was born in Wilkerson County, GA and that she had
lived in TX since 1877. The 1900
Census of Panola Co shows Jeff and Jane's 19 year old son as having been born in
TX in Oct 1880. On Jeff's earlier
application for a CSA Veteran's Pension, he stated that he had lived in Fairplay
Community, Panola County since 1891. In her pension application Jane stated that
she and Jeff were married on April 9, 1868 in Barbour Co, AL. She possibly could not write as some of the papers in her
pension application file show that she signed them with a mark. Following Jeff's
death in 1913, she did not remarry. According
to the pension application papers, on May 1, 1917 she went to visit a daughter (name unknown at this time) who
lived in DeQueen, Sevier County, AR. In
an affidavit dated July 8, 1928, she stated "That I continued to draw my
said pension until about the 1st day of May, 1917, at which time I left the State of Texas for the purpose
of visiting daughter in the state of Arkansas.
That I remained in said state until the 1st
day of June 1923 when I came back to the State of Texas to make my home
permanently in said State, and am now a Resident Citizen of the State of Texas.
That I never, at any time, left the State of Texas with intention of
remaining away and making my home permanent in any other State, nor have I, at
any time, claimed any other State than Texas as my home." Jane Garland died
Dec 21, 1924 at the home of her grandson-in-law A.D. Abernathy.
Dr. R.O. Watkins of Pine Hill, her attending physician, certified that
she died of Chronic Rheumatism. She was buried beside Jeff in Macedonia
Cemetery.
Known Children of Thomas Jefferson
"Jeff" Garland:
Only one child of Jeff and his first wife is known, Thomas
M. "Matt" Garland who was born Feb. 17, 1868 in AL, died May 11,
1944 and is buried in the Woods Post Office Community of Panola County.
His Death Certificate on file in Panola County shows the name of his
father, but his mother's name is listed as "Unknown". On Jul 9, 1891

was born Dec. 22, 1870 and died Oct. 18, 1917 and is buried at Woods Cemetery in
the Woods Community, Panola Co, TX. The
1900 Census of Panola County shows Thomas Matt and his wife Liddia with two
sons, Walter S. (b Oct 1894) and Linwood E. (b Mar 1898) who were both born in
TX.

Herrin, the son of Abner and Lucinda Herrin.

are possibly the children of Jeff and Jane Garland as the 1900 Census states
that they had seven children, but only three of them were living at that time.

Andrew Rice "Bud" Garland
was born Dec. 28, 1842, died Jan. 5, 1918 and is buried in Waldrop Cemetery in
the Brooks Community of Panola County. A
granddaughter, Alma (Herrin) Abernathy stated that she was always told that his
given name was Andrew Richard. The
first name is correct, however, his wife in her CSA Widow's Pension Application,
stated his full name was "Andrew Rice Garland". Bud Garland married Epthpasey
Ann Bryant on Jan 20, 1867 in Barbour County, AL. Ann was born 1846 in Barbour County, AL and died on Oct. 29,
1928 at the home of her son, William H. Garland in Marshall, Harrison County,
TX. The attending physician,
Charles A. Wyatt, certified that she died of General Disability complicated with
diarrhea and is buried in Waldrop Cemetery.
In the Spring of 1999, Alton Mangham remembered "Aunt Ann" and
being a "fine woman" and being well-respected by all who knew her.
Bud also served in the Confederate Army from March 10,
1862 until "the close of the war"
Military records show him to have been a Private in Company K, 39th
Alabama Infantry, CSA. The last mention of him in official records is the
Company Muster Roll dated October 1863 which stated, "Absent wounded and
sent to Gen. Hos. Sept. 20, 1863, ord. Regt. Surgeon." According to family tradition, Bud came home to
recuperate from a severe hip injury then returned to his unit on Feb 1, 1864 and
served to the end of the war, but official records do not reflect that
subsequent service.
Andrew and Ann were enumerated in the 1880 Census of
Blount Co, AL. On that census it
lists A.R. Garland, age 37, wife E.A. age 37 and children E.A. daughter age 10,
W.H. son age 6 and J.F. son age 3.
According to family stories Ann did not want to move to
TX in 1894 and she just flat refused to help with the pending move.
However, when they were loading the wagon to go to the train, she walked
out of the house, looked at the loaded wagon and wanted to know where she was
supposed to sit. They were met at
the train by Jack Garland and George White or Wyatt.
Making the journey to TX with Andrew and Ann was their oldest daughter
Epthpasey Eugenia, her husband Daniel Abernathy and several of their children.
Andrew is remembered as being a slow, easy-going fellow,
who just took each day as it came. By
tradition, the only plans he made for the future was to set a day to go fishing.
He was said to be just as industrious as he brothers, the only difference
was that he did not let anything bother him.
Known Children of Andrew Rice Garland:
The 1900 Census of Panola Co shows that Bud and Ann had
been married for 31 years, that their union had produced four children and all
four of them were still living. Shown
still living in the household with them were William Garland (son, born Sep
1872), Frank (son, born Oct 1876) and Janie (daughter, born Jul 1882).

came to TX in Nov 1894. Daniel was born Dec 15, 1861 in GA.
Eugenia died Mar 2, 1913 and Daniel died Aug 2, 1938 and both are buried
in Waldrop Cemetery. Daniel's

(4) Janey Bethany
Garland was born July 22, 1881 and died Oct 1, 1902 and is buried in Wadrop
Cemetery.
Leonidas Hastings "Jack" Garland
was born Jan. 26, 1848, possibly in GA. He
died May 4, 1924 in Harrison Co TX and is buried in the Grange Hall Cemetery
south of Marshall.
On Oct 1, 1870 in Barbour County, AL he married Emma
Frances "Fannie" Hightower (born Feb 23, 1848), the daughter of
Leroy and Sarah J. (Rutledge) Hightower. Accompanying
Jack and Fannie to TX was her brother E.S. "Eddie" Hightower and in
subsequent years three more of Fannie's brothers would join them in Panola Co.
When Jack and Fannie first came to Panola Co, they lived on the Virge
Cranford place, which is now known as the Sandy Chadwick place, in the Macedonia
Community west of Carthage. In the
1870's, however, the community was known as the Pot Licker Community.
It is a family tradition that Jack was a CSA soldier, as
were his two brothers; however, the exact military record for him has not been
found. CSA rosters reveal two
possible records for him: Leonidas Garland who served as a Sgt. in the 1st
Choctaw & Chickasaw Mtd. Rifles, 2nd Co H and Leonidas H. Garland who served
in the SC 1st Arty, Co I.
After he settled in Panola Co Jack was a teamster,
operating two and three wagons on the Old Shreveport-to-Douglas Road.
In 1967 Jack's grandson, Joseph F. "Jake" Watson, wrote the
following description of Jack's teamster days: "The teamsters tried to
travel in groups for safety. It was
not unusual for teamsters to be robbed along the road, so it was safer to travel
in a group. My grandfather talked
many times of traveling with teamsters from Rusk (Cherokee Co TX) as well as
teamsters hauling for various merchants in this area.
Part of the year they would haul cotton to Shreveport to be sold, then
return with loads of staple goods. After
the cotton was all marketed, they continued to go to Shreveport in empty wagons
because the local merchants still needed supplies.
At that time flour was sold in wooden barrels and cloth came in bales.
These were the two commodities the teamsters hauled year round.
For the Christmas holidays, they usually had a barrel or two of apples on
the return trip. Sometimes, with
the help of a grandson or two that were riding in the wagons, the apple barrels
arrived in Panola County with the top loose and a few apples short of full
measure."
The railroads finally eliminated the teamsters around
1890, so the Garlands had to find another means of support.
Jack moved to the Fair Play Community, about eight miles west of
Carthage. About 1893 he opened a
general mercantile store there. He also operated a peddlers wagon that traveled from Fair
Play north to Marshall in Harrison County.
In 1896, Jack and Fannie moved from Fair Play to the Harris Chapel
Community (then called the Mahon Community), north of Beckville. At that time
they lived near the Carter's Ferry crossing on the Sabine River, on what was
called the Old Watson place. (These Watsons have no known connection to the
Joseph F. Watson who married Jack and Fannie's daughter Sallie in 1894.) While
living there, Fannie died on Jul 16, 1900 and is buried in the Harris Chapel
Cemetery, about a mile south of where they were living.
In the five years after her death, two of her sons and two grandchildren
would be buried beside her.
Following Fannie's death in July 1900, Jack left Panola
County and moved to Harrison County, living first in the Grange Hall Community,
located about halfway between Carter's Ferry and the town of Marshall.
While living there he married Mattie Blaylock on Nov. 6, 1901.
No record has yet been found showing the dates of her birth or death, nor
does she have a marked grave; however, it is possible that she is also buried in
the Grange Hall Cemetery as many of the Blaylock family are buried there.
No children are known of this marriage.
Following Mattie's death, Jack again decided to move
along, and this time he settled in the city of Marshall where he opened a
grocery store on North Wellington Street, between West Austin and West Houston
streets. After he moved to Marshall
he married Mrs. Esther M. (?) Brooke on Jul. 31, 1908.
Esther was born Dec. 22, 1844 in Richmond, VA, died Feb. 3, 1933 and is
buried in Grange Hall Cemetery beside Jack.
Her maiden name and the name of her first husband are unknown.
No children were born of this marriage.
Known Children of Leonidas Hastings
"Jack" Garland
Six children were known to have been born to Jack and
Fannie. However, since there are
large time gaps between the first three known children, it is possible that
there were children born to them while they were still in AL that either died
young or remained there when the rest of the family moved to Texas.

Sallie Beatrice Garland was born Aug. 30, 1870.
On Nov. 30, 1890 in Panola County she married Joseph Fowler Watson, the

fever epidemic, Addie Estelle Watson (1896-1911) who died of scarlet
fever, Lester Garland Watson (1904-1916) who was dragged to death when he
fell from a mule he was riding, Mollie Barcenia Watson who married

Jackson Buckner, the son of M.J. and Frances (Hunt) Buckner.
He was born 1866, died 1941 and both are buried in Algoma Cemetery in
Marshall, Harrison County. On the 1900 Census of Panola Co, Clara and Mumford
were listed as living in the household of Jack
and Fannie along with their one-year old son Turner.
(3)
Richard "Dick" Garland was born Nov. 18, 1884, died Jul
22, 1963 and is buried in Walton Cemetery, west of Carthage.
On Jul. 27, 1905 he married Mrs. Emma (Singletary) Watson
Garland. On Nov. 14, 1894 Emma
had married William Douglas Watson, the son of James Newell and Susan (Browning)
Watson, making William the nephew of Joe Watson who married Richard's sister
Sally. Although divorce was rare at
that time, Emma and William were separated almost immediately after their
marriage, and divorced a short time later and had no children.
On Dec. 21, 1899 Emma second married James F. Garland (1870-1900), the
son of Bud and Ann Garland. James
died about a year after their marriage and is buried in Waldrop Cemetery. On July 27, 1905 she married Dick Garland. Dick and Emma made
their home in Marshall and raised their family that consisted of Emma's son Grady
Franklin Garland who married Clara Watkins plus the two daughters born of
her marriage to Dick: Guenith Garland who married William L. Blount and Vera
L. Garland who married Freddie J. Parker.

William Hastings Garland was born Sep. 14, 1887, died Jul 26, 1904
and buried in Harris Chapel Cemetery. His
Death Certificate states that he died of malaria.
It is believed that he never married since he died two months short of
his seventeenth birthday.
(6)
Naomi
Garland was born
Oct. 2, 1889, died Aug. 30, 1908 and is buried in Grange Hall Cemetery.
On Jan. 22, 1905 in Harrison County she married Jesse George Stauts,
the son of W.W. and Laura (?) Stauts. Jesse
was born Nov. 6, 1886, died Jan. 4, 1975 and is buried in Grange Hall Cemetery.
After Naomi's death, Jesse second married Ida Cecele Williams, the
daughter of Joel Lawrence and Selina (?) Williams.
Jesse and Naomi, then later, Jesse and Ida operated a grocery store in
Marshall, possibly the same store that Naomi's father had operated up until the
time of his death in 1924. In his
later years Jesse served as a Justice of the Peace in Harrison County.
Jesse and Naomi's children were Jesse Alton Stauts and Charleston
H. "Bill" Stauts. As
Naomi died eleven days after Charleston was born, it is generally believed she
died of complications from his birth. Jesse and Ida's children were George L.
Stauts and Glenn Stauts who served as a long time as County Clerk of Harrison
County.
