TERRY/ HINTON/
Paul A. Carter Wed Aug 04 1999 11:37 PM
I am looking for information J. W. TERRY who married Mrs. Mahala Ann HINTON on Sept
20, 1861 in Robertson County. I am wondering if he could be the same person who was
known as William TERRY in Jack County, TX who married Flora Ann VANHOOSER in 1866.
In one land transaction in Jack County, William TERRY (husband of Flora Ann) was listed as
"J. William TERRY". This William TERRY has been a real mystery man.
In the 1870 US Census, William TERRY and Flora Ann had several children:
Aaron , aged 9; Louis, aged 8; and Thomas, aged 5 who would have been from a
previous marriage. I have my genealogy on the web at http://www.rmi.net/~pacarter. Paul Carter

REAGAN/ FARRAR
Lana Robinson Fri Jul 30 1999 4:37 PM
I am looking for the parents of Thomas Madison REAGAN, and his
siblings, John, Dick, and Eula B. REAGAN. There may have been other children. Thomas
Madison (my great grandfather) was born in Robertson County, I believe near Hearne, in
1868. His mother died and he was raised by a stepmother, but I do not know their names.
His brother, John, became a Church of Christ preacher. His brother, Dick, moved to
Trinidad, Colorado in the 1930s. Thomas M. REAGAN married Maude FARRAR in Meridian (Bosque
County) in 1889. They are both buried in the Hico Cemetery, in Hamilton County. I know
there are lots of REAGANS in Robertson County. I just don't know which ones may have a
common ancestor. Thanks for any help you can give. Lana Reagan Robinson, 10002 Forest View

In the mid 1840's, Gilbert Marshall HUNTER (1825-1863) left Tennessee and settled in
Robertson County. He married Naomi McCUISTION, daughter of Robert N. McQUISTION,
there in 1847. In 1858 he was joined by two half-brothers, William Robert HUNTER
(1840-1862) and Joseph Love HUNTER (1842-1926). All three brothers joined the
Confederate Army, and only one brother, Joseph, survived the war. He married his
brother's widow, Naomi, in 1867; she died in 1869, and then he married Sarah Matilda DUPUY
(1849-1911), daughter of Dr. Jonathan Ethelbert DUPUY, in Robertson County in 1870.

BAIN/
CAVITT/ COVITT
Jeanne Bain Mon Apr 5 1999 6:09 PM
I am trying to locate were Harvey and Havanna BAIN died. Family story says that
while moving to a different area the parents (Harvey and Havanna) were killed by indians
and the children William Calhoun BAIN and Margaret "Maggie" Elizabeth BAIN were
taken in by a family named CAVITT/COVITT in the Hearne or Wheelock area. I have been told
that the CAVITT house is
still standing and is possibly a historic house in the Hearne area. I
know by the tax records that the Bain's were in Washington County until 1859. Then
William Calhoun BAIN appears on the 1880 census in Burleson county. Possibly in the
Robertson county on the 1870 census but the name was hard to read. Are there court records
that date back to the 1860's for death or placing children with a family after the parents
died? Are there any newpapers or church records that would go back to the 1860's?
Do you have any suggestion of where I might search?

account of the trial or his obit nor have I been able to locate any land records. 1900

The Historical Records of Frankford, KY, says Joel moved to Mulenburg Co., KY, in 1800,
and later died and was buried in Robertson Co., TX.
Family Source: Family Bible of Jesse Isaac Van Cleave, In possession of Zona Van Cleave
Hopkins[1960].
Joel went with his father in 1808 to the Shaker settlement in Pleasannt Hill, Mercer, KY,
staying a few years before going out in the world on his own. He is listed on the 1813,
1815, 1816, 1817, 1819, 1820, 1821, 1822, 1823, 1824, 1825, 1827, and 1828 Kentucky State
Tax Lists as living in Mulenburg Co., KY, and owing 1-3 horses, and 100 acres of land at
Cypress Creek. On 10 Nov 1834, he had this tract surveyed. On 12 Jan 1836, he mortgaged
this tract for $238.56 On 25 Aug 1838,he had 129 acres on Cyprus Creek surveyed. On 21 May
1841, he sold this 129 acres.On 19 Oct 1841, he had 36 acres on Cypress Creek surveyed. On
2 Nov 1842, he sold 236 acres of land on Cyprus Creek. On 21 Oct 1855, he sold 100 acres
of land located in Daviess Co., Ky. It is thought that he moved to the opposite side of
Green River into Daviess Co.,KY, as a result of his pro-union stand on the issues which
led to the Civil War. The Green River seemed to be the dividing line between the Unionists
and Secessionists. He was the administrator to the estate of his son-in-law James Madison
Dossett on 28 Apr 1855 in Daviess Co., KY. Probably the families of Joel [including his
sons William, Peter, and John, and the children of his deceased daughter, Sarah],
Jonathan, Alfred, Elijah, and Elizabeth Wall comprised the five covered wagons which
rendezvoused at Abraham's farm prior to their departure for TX. They probably left in June
or early July and arrived in early October, 1855. It is thought that they stopped a short
time in Arkansas. It is also beleived that members of the Suggs and Stringer families
either traveled to TX with Joel or arrived there shortly before him. They may have stopped
in Smith Co., TX. on their way to Robertson Co., TX.

Am seeking information on WILLIAM MADISON SANDERS and PENELOPE

They are both buried in the Pleasant Grove Cemetery. W.M. was my ggrandfather. His son
James Bryant SANDERS was my grandfather. After my mom was born in 1902, James B. and his

SAUNDERS until thy came to Georgia from Virginia. This I have not proven. Any information
will be appreciated. Eddie Martin, Mexia, Texas

located in what was Headsville, as in 1880 at one time had a post office which was run by a
J. G. Adams. apparently after the civil war, it slowly closed down, Also a James
A. Head
supposedly is buried there, James was in the 6th Congress House of Representatives,

any graves on their land, unmarked ones or maybe marked ones that they know of, my email

anyone that knows who owns the land where the Heads Cemetery is also, it's back off the road a

Sawadi2u Tue Apr 07, 1998 12:36 PM
GRIMES, PATTERSON - seeking ANY information pertaining to family of
grandfather William Andrew GRIMES, b. about 1878 in Robertson county. According
to 1880 Census, he was living with his parents, George M. and Anna (PATTERSON)
GRIMES, and 2 other children, both named John! George was the son of
Andrew Jackson and Ellen (NICHOLS) GRIMES, of Ellis and Austin counties. Nothing
is known of Anna's family except for family rumor that she was at least part
Indian, and that the couple lived in a tent on a creek bottom near Bremond.
When William Andrew was about 5 years old, his father died. His
mother supposedly left him in the custody of a Justice of the Peace named
REEVE(S) and disappeared, taking William Andrew's younger sister Dora, never to
be seen again. William Andrew was "rescued at gunpoint by his uncle
Bob GRIMES" when he was about 14, so this would be in the early 1890's.
Any information whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.

Seeking info on Henry HILL, born Aug 1816 in Tennessee - in Nashville, Davidson
County or surrounding area. He left TN by 1850, went west and appears in
Nevada in 1870. He married in 1875 at Silver City, NV to Ellen M.
(Nellie) FLANDERS. They lived in Silver City (next to Virginia City) and
then moved to Hawthorne, Esmeralda Co., NV., where Henry died in 1905.
We are checking our Henry John Alexander Hill as we don't know his birth date
but he was born in Warren Co., TN. and could be the same Henry b. in 1816.
He went west to Texas prior to 1850, and is a good possibility he is the same
man. At least we need to eliminate him. Thanks again for your help.

family other than Frank PINSON married Sarah SWEAT in Madison County in 1870,
they moved shortly after to Robertson County. Sarah was born 1857, died 1888 in
Robertson County and is buried at Post Oak, Frank may have been older than her.
Frank has never been listed on any census and may only use the name 'Frank"
as a nickname. They lived East of Bremond in the 1880's and it appears Frank
didn't live with his family. Sarah PINSON'S father was Leonard SWEAT, he is
known to have several criminal charges listed against him prior to his death in
1873 in Madison County. Frank may also have been from a criminal background
which explains his numerous disappearances. Frank and Sarah had children which
were born into the mid 1880's and then it appears Frank was no longer heard
from. I am very interested in any information on the PINSON family in Robertson
County as I have no information other than family records which state his name
as Frank PINSON. Thank you. Larry Bates

following men of the regiment are related to Robertson County in some way: James
T. SMITH, Joseph BUCKALOO, Thomas B. GUTHRIE, Daniel W. CASSEL, William E.
COLLARD and William B. JUDAH. If you are a descendant of any of the above men,
or of anyone that served in the 10th Texas Infantry, I would appreciate a
response. My address is:

BENNETT/
BINION/ SMITH
Benjamin Franklin BENNETT, (b. 1840, Miss., d. 20 May 1875, Houston or Calvert).
He lived in Calvert, Robertson Co., with Annie Emma BINION and was the putative
father of Mary Ann BENNETT, (b. 1867, MS, d. 1922, Tucson AZ). Annie Emma and
dau often lived with her sister Gertrude Binion CARR, wife of Titus CARR of
Robertson County. Annie Emma m. Nov. 1876 to Fredrick G. SMITH,(b. England 1836,
naturalized 1866, d? Travis County). Very little information about Franklin
BENNETT. One story says he was shot in 1875 by the man whom he beat in a Judges
Election in Houston. However, history book say District Judges were not first
elected in TX until 1876. Another story says masked bandits abducted him from
his "wife" on their wedding night, and he reappeared 10 years later.
Yet another family story says he was a member of a band of highwaymen and
appeared every few years for a night or so- long enough to father two more
children-- one an infant death, and the second William Franklin BENNETT.
Personally I feel these stories were to cover up the fact that they did not
marry and that he was only an occasional visitor. In 1869 in Noxubee Co, Miss,
Annie's father dies and the estate papers list "daughter Gerturde Carr and
husband Titus Car, living in Texas, dau Annie Emma Binion, living in Texas"
Were she married, her lawyer brother would have had to list Franklin on the
estate papers. QUERY: Does anyone know anything about Benjamin Franklin BENNETT?
When died, how died, where died? John F. O'Hanlon, Tucson, Arizona

CHANDLER/
MILLER
Am looking for information and other descendants of Eli CHANDLER who came to the
Robertson Colony in 1836 from Madison Co TN. He and his family are shown on the
1850 census of Robertson Co, and court house records indicate his death at
Wheelock in 1858. What happened to his wife, Mary and son, William? My ancestor,
Susan Caroline CHANDLER, married William MILLER in Robertson Co in 1854, and had
children; Mary Ann ("Mollie"), Francis Elizabeth ("Fanny"),
and Joseph. Susan Caroline (CHANDLER) MILLER died in 1861, and William MILLER
died in 1864, Confederate Army. For some unknown reason the three children
(grown) appeared in Jasper Co MO, listed on the 1880 census. On that census two
of them listed William MILLER (their father)'s place of birth as "KY"
(NFI). Will exchange info.

ROGERS
I am trying to identify Sam ROGERS who was a judge in Robertson County, TX, in
the early 1900s, and perhaps earlier. My mother, a daughter of William Jefferson
Canady & Sallie Elizabeth Damron and grand daughter of Thomas Jefferson
Canady & Henrietta Emily Kyser (both originally from AL), recalls that Sam
visited her family when she was a child in the late 1910s and 1920s. He was
supposedly a relative but she does not know how although it is probable that it
was through the Canady or Kyser lines with roots in Alabama. She thinks that he
had a sister. Any assistance would be appreciated. Charles
