FROM TBEPRESIDENr'S COIWER
It is my pleasure to return as President of the Br.azos Genealogical Associationforthis .
upcoming year and am honored to have the same .officers from last year return with me. '
We concentrated on a few items last year and this year are planning .ad.ifferent approach
for our membership. During our November 2000 open planning meeting it was evident that .
some of our members. wanted to gain additional knowledge of .our local genealogical :
resources, to review the basics of genealogy, to increase their knowledge of courthouse
records and court documents and. to spend actualresearch time during some of .our .
meeting times. This planning sess.ion was valuablein setting our agenda forthis year and
w~ hopethatthose mernbers who have been somewhat inactive may find the. time to come. _
jOin.... us in wha.tl b......e. lieve to be someve..ry. beneficial training. w.e have posted.. the "firs.,. t I
session" of the year on our web page and hope to update.that information as .it becomes.
available, but anyone at any time can review what we are doing for that month's meeting
or activit For those of ou who are unaware of. this site - lease see
11
http://www2.txcyber.com/...bga/. I've also asked our editor to include these in the quarterly
" so>our members who do nothaveaccess to the internet can also be kept informed.
We are also exploring several possible projects/programs for the future. We had a very ,
productive meeting in January with the Past President of the Brazos Heritage Society and
will continue to work towards a business and historical relationship with that group. Our
Vice-President is exploring a "First Families of Brazos County" program that we could
administer. He is joined in a planning committee with myself, Bill PAGE and Janis HUNT. .
We would invite anyone who is interested in getting involved to contact Trey HOLT. This,
could be a very good tool to get folks interested in their genealogy. Personally, I am .
exploring a couple of "smaller" projects. Through my interest and' research of the
Confederate veterans in Brazos County, I have found that a former professor, past acting -
President and the son-in-law. of Sam HOUSTON is lying in an unmarked grave in Bryan
City Cemetery. iWilliamBRINGHURSTis one of, I believe, eight unmarked veteran graves.
located there. I find this to be a shame upon our community to allow this situation to
continue. We will atleastmark his grave, but the question is how much of a presentation
would we like to make in doing so. The otherproject that I would like to pursue is the 100th
Anniversary of the Carnegie' Library. This event will occur in 2003, but it's not too early to
begin making plans, and I'm sure the Iibrarywill have an eventand I believe that we should
position ourselves to gain some exposure during this celebration and to ensure that it .
occurs. The other thought that comes to me in regards to this is, "are their any money.
making opportunities here?" Is it timeJora new calendar project? Should we purchase'

We are looking forward to.a great year, to have a little fun, enjoy each other's company ,
and to learn a little more about ourselves and our family's history. :

For the February meeting Bill PAGE gave us a tour of Evans Library.on the Texas A&M
University campus with an emphasis on genealogy. He made many points and emphasized
they have a lot of materials that are scattered throughout the ..library.Often,
university/college libraries acquire books that genealogy libraries do not .have. And don't
forget the map room. Other items that may be available include census records, tax rolls,
newspap~rs on microfilm,. gazetteers, family histories, immigration or ship records,birth
records, cemetery and death records, diaries, and other items.
This editor has found one book in theA&M library while browsing thattookmy Ac.adian
line back several generations. You never know what you might find until you .Iook. Many
university libraries have their catalogs online for searching. Theinternet address for the
A&Mlibrary is ''http://Iibrary.tamu.edu''.
If you live near one, go to its home page and. search for "library" and Search and
explore.. If you want to visit the library, keep several things in mind. 'During the.end'of.a
sernester>can be very busy with little parking. Between semester breaks, hours are usually
reduced.lfthereis a special event at that university, fac.ilities (including motel rooms) may
be verylirnited. Jtwould be best to call the library first to check on plans so you can get the
most help and rnaximizeyour time.' If you ask for help, consider saying you are looking for
information on historical or biographical items. Bill said if you mention genealogy, they
might point you ina different direction. So be a little more specific. Happy hunting!

KILLOUGH'S COMPANY - C. S. A.
John BLAIR
Brazos County History is eternally linked to our neighboring counties. Many of the first
families in this area began their Texas roots in surrounding counties. So it would only be
14
natural for genealogists to follow the ancestral family lines from Brazos County back into
Robertson, Grimes, Burleson or even Washington County.
When the State of Texas entered into what we would know later as the bloodiest
conflict in American history, many young men rushed to the call to arms. Men who had
fought the Mexicans, or the Indian tribes of the Kickapoo or Anadarko Were highly sought
after for their leadership and field experience. One such man was Samuel Blackburn
KILLOUGH, who had commanded the local Robertson County RangerBattalion stationed
at Franklin in the early 1840'S.1 Captain KILLOUGH rose to prominence in the county
during the decade of the 1850's, acting as county chief justice and commissioner} In June
1861 he organized a home guardat Wheelock, then the countyseat.Thisunit was known
as KI LLOUGH'sCompany or the Wheelock Home Guards} These men drillE)d and trained
for war just as theinegular counterparts did who would soon departforth~ battlefields in
Virginia; however, these men remained behind tomaintainlawandorderinthecommunity,
protectthe farms and families from Indian depredations, as they hactinthe<daysofthe
Republic, and if called upon, to serve as possible reinforcements to defend the coast .of
Texa~ again a Yankee invasion.
Captain KILLOUGH commanded a company of 80 volLlnteers, His officers consisted
ofthr~eLieutenants,S. A JONES, Gilbert Harvey LOVEand HiramHANOVER.LOVE.had
com~ to Texas from Tennessee in 1836 and settled in eastern' Robertson County in what
is now Fairfield, Freestone County. At the Battle of San Jacintqhe tended the sick.and
wounded. men in the camp hospita!. LOVE married Miss MarthctAnnCURRY on January
9, 1845 and the coupl~JivedalongCedarCreek in northeast Bra;zo~County, southofthe
Old. San Antonio Road.... His. neighbor across. the creek was his fellow Heutenant, Hiram
HANOVER. HANOVERhad arrived in Texas two years after LOME,arrivingat$abinePass

Community Notes

of small communities in rural Brazos County. They' contain .information about births,
marriages, deaths, social gatherings, church activities, residents and visitors in these
communities. In this issue the Steep Hollow Community continues to be highlighted.

leading colleges and universities of the State were represented, he won the contest as
representative of the SouthwesternU niversity, and became through this the representative
of Texas in the Southern oratorical contest held at Monteagle, Tenn., where he won third
place among six State's representatives. The early development of Mr. FLINN's oratorical
abilities is noted in the fact that he won a number of medals while attending Southwestern
