BARNETT and RAWLS Families of Brazos County
The information on these Steep Hollow settlers was obtained
from Mary Ann and Joe BARNETT, Jr., Altus and Gertrude BARNETT
GARNER, and the BRYAN DAILY EAGLE.
BARNETT Family
Jorial BARNETT (b ca 1815) appears to have lived in Alabama
before moving to Mississippi. He came to Texas from Mississippi
between 1844 and 1848. He settled first in Cherokee County, Texas
with his wife Martha (b ca 1816). Jorial and Martha had the
following children:
Susan E. b ca
Mary. D. b ba
Richard L. b ca
James A. b ca

The wife, Martha, must have died, perhaps after the birth of her
daughter Martha C., because on December 23, 1858, Jorial married
Rachel HILL (b ca 1837) in Cherokee County, Texas. Their first son
was born in Cherokee County in 1859. Sometime around 1866,
Jorial and Rachel moved to Brazos County Texas and settled south
of Bryan where Jorial farmed. When John D. was about 16 years old,
the family moved to San Antonio where they lived for three years
before they returned to Brazos County and settled north of Bryan.
Jorial and Rachel had the following children:
John D. b November 14, 1859 in Cherokee Co. Texas
Nancy b ca 1863 in Brazos County Texas
Cindy b ca 1865 in Brazos County Texas
Ward b ca 1872 in Brazos County Texas
Laura b ca 1875 in Brazos County Texas
The family does not know when Jorial and Rachel died. They think
Jorial is buried in the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Franklin,
Robertson County Texas in an unmarked grave.
RAWLS Family
John RAWLS was living in Simpson County Mississippi in 1830.
He was 50 -60 years of age and had two male children and six females
living in his household. One of the male children age 5 -10 should
be John W. RAWLS. The older John apparently left South Carolina
3
4
after the birth of his son John W. RAWLS in 1820 and settled in
Simpson County before 1830.
John W. RAWLS (1820 -1881) married Isabella BROWN (1826- 1886)..
John and Isabella were both born in South Carolina. They lived
in Tennessee during the period 1856 -1864. Sometime between 1864
and 1870 they left Tennessee and settled in the Kurten area of
Brazos County Texas. Their known children were:
Eliza E.

John W. and Isabella are buried in the Bryan City Cemetery, Bryan,
Texas.
BARNETT and RAWLS Families Unite
John D. BARNETT married Mary Etta RAWLS in Brazos County Texas
on December 8, 1885 and lived in the Alexander Community for eight
years. Their children were:
Callie E.
b

Lizzie J.

Texas
John D. Jr.
b
March 1890 in

Joe Ryle
b
October 1893
in Texas
Deed records in the Brazos County Courthouse show that John D. and
wife Mary Etta BARNETT bought 100 acres of land from A. HENSARLING
on December 16, 1894. This tract of land was located in the Steep
Hollow Community. On December 17, 1896 they sold 37 -1/2 acres of
the 100 acres to Melchor CONNER. The remaining acres were known
as the old BARNETT home place. It was located 1/4 mile up MERKA
road on the right, approximately 500 feet in a clump of cedar and
oak trees. Mr. Roy FOSTER purchased the old BARNETT home place for
$1,400.00 after John D. died and Mary Etta was no longer able to
farm.
John D. BARNETT was one of the trustees of the Steep Hollow
Methodist Episcopal Church when the church purchased one -half acre
of land from W. B. ENGLISH and his wife Sally, for $25.00 on
November 10, 1910. The land was used for the establishment of the
Steep Hollow Methodist Church. The other trustees of the church
were J. W. BEAL, B. L. FOSTER, T. P. HALL, and J. J. VANDIVER,
minister. The church was built near the Steep Hollow school where
the storage buildings and the present Steep Hollow Community Center
are now located. The records for the Methodist Church have not
been located, but the records for the Saints Rest Baptist Church
(now called Steep Hollow Baptist Church) show that the BARNETTS
went to both churches. Steep Hollow residents relate that when the
Baptists were having church, everyone went to the - Baptist church.
When the Methodists were having church, everyone went to the
Methodist church. Churches in those days did not have full time
pastors. A former resident of Steep Hollow, Mr. BEVERLY said that
when he was a young boy, his family attended the Methodist church.
He remembered that there was an old organ in the church and all the
children in the community would slip into the church and play the
organ. The Methodist Church operated until some time in the 1930's
and was finally torn down. The land was purchased by Mr. Joe BOND.
John D. BARNETT died on July 10, 1925. Altus GARNER, a
grandson - in - law, remembers that 1925 was very dry, and there had
not been any rain for a long time. All the farmers were losing
their crops and selling their cattle. On the day that John D.
died, there was a good rain. (The BRYAN DAILY EAGLE of July 11,
1925 featured a front page article which stated that Steep Hollow
had a good rain.)
Mary Etta RAWLS BARNETT was a very stern and strict person.
She believed that everything was black or white, and there was no
middle ground. She was an immaculate housekeeper. She scrubbed
her wood floors with lye until they were white and spotless. After
her husband died, Mary Etta farmed the land, raised chickens and
worked very hard to make a living. Each year on her birthday she
would have a big barbecue. Oliver HICKS and Ed HILL, longtime
employees of the BARNETT family, would cook a goat. Family and
friends would gather for a good time.
After Mary Etta the farm, she lived with her son, Joe
Ryle and his wife Lillie. Her family remembers that she dipped
snuff and would throw her Garrett Snuff jars in the gully behind
the house. She loved to be outside, especially after a big rain.
She would walk around, smell the fresh clean air and watch the
water run down to the creek. Her mind was quick and alert until
her death, but she lost her sight. Mary Etta RAWLS BARNETT died
May 23, 1952 at the age of 88.
John D. and Mary Etta BARNETT are buried in the Steep Hollow
Cemetery near the land and in the community where they lived and
raised their family. Many of their grandchildren and great
grandchildren still live in the area.

BRAZOS COUNTY DEATHS FROM FEDERAL RECORDS
abstracted by Bill Page
Part I
1850 Mortality Schedules
Mortality schedules often provide the only record of the
deaths of early settlers. Researchers should remember
that these schedules
may be less
reliable than other
census records, since
information
had to be provided by
survivors, who, in
some cases,
were not even related to
the deceased. The
microfilmed
mortality schedules for
1850 also include the
number of days the deceased was
sick and the cause
of death.
Although some entries
indicate whether the
deceased
was married, this
information may not
have been
consistently recorded.
Where available, information
on marital status, race,
and occupation have
been listed on the line following
the person's name,
as well as
the person's place of
birth.

THE TRAIL OF TEARS
transcribed by Joy S. BROWN
In the year 1838, among the hills of Georgia, North Carolina,
Alabama and Tennessee, thousands of Indians were forced to leave
their homes. Many died and much of the Indian culture was lost,
sacrificed to the white man's hunger for more land.
For in 1838 the Cherokee began their march down the infamous
Trail of Tears. By the early 1840's, removal of all of the Five
Civilized Tribes - the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and
Seminoles - was complete. All were forced to leave their
properous farms and plantations for government - assigned lands in
Indian Territory now Oklahoma.
To trace the original Trail of Tears is not an easy task
because the removal of the Indians from their homelands to Indian
Territory took several routes. Three separate groups were
initially transported, primarily by water from Ross' Landing on
the Tennessee River, to the Ohio River, down the Mississippi and
up the Arkansas River, ending near Fort Gibson, Oklahoma.
Thirteen additional groups moved overland from Rattlesnake
Springs thru Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas to the
vicinity of what is now Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
About 15,000 to 17,000 Cherokees were removed from their homes
in the hills between June of 1838 and March of 1839, an estimated
4,000 lost their lives on the long, arduous journey from disease,
hunger and exposure while en route to Oklahoma, causing the
Cherokees to identify it as nuna- da -ul- tsun -yi which translates
to "the trail on which they cried."
A summary of the removal taken from a park leaflet at New
Echota, Georgia states;
"In 1835, a small group of Cherokees, who preferred to
negotiate rather than await a forced roundup and removal of their
people, signed the Treaty of New Echota and exchanged lands in
the East for lands in the West. The signers were in a minority,
and most of the Cherokees joined in protesting the treaty. The
U. S. Congress, however, approved the treaty in 1835 and gave the
Cherokees two years in which to leave. Most of them remained on
their lands until 1838, when the soldiers of General Winfield
SCOTT rounded them up and removed them to what is now
northeastern Oklahoma."
In spite of the hardships, the majority
agrarian society amid the hills of what is
Oklahoma was established. A new government
Tahlequah, a constitution patterned after t
States was ratified, and the Cherokee National
the first public school for women west of the
established. A male seminary was also built but

Female Seminary,

The Cherokees advanced life style" also included a written
alphabet invented by SEQUOYAH, the most famous of Cherokees.
Elias BOUDINOT printed the Cherokee Phoenix the first American
Indian newspaper, in Cherokee and English. After arriving in
Tahlequah, the tribe resumed printing a national newspaper, the
Cherokee Advocate This paper helped preserve much of the
culture that still binds the two parts of a nation separated by
thousands of miles and many tears. For the descendants of the
Cherokees who hid in the hills 152 years ago rather than make the
government- ordered exodus have created a new life by dedicating
24-
themslves to perpetuating the history and traditions of the
Indians and the pioneer life of the early settlers in western
North Carolina in the towns of Cherokee and Maggie Valley.
The Cherokee Historical Association was organized in 1948 with
the purpose of presenting an outdoor drama. Dallasite Dr, Kermit
HUNTER'S longest running and most successful such production, Unto
These Hills has played to about five million summertime spectators
since the first performance in 1950.
In 1987 legislation was passed making the Trail of Tears a
National Historic Trail. A logo will be designed and signs will
be placed along 1,800 miles of land and river trails according to
Jean SIMMONS, Travel Columnist of The Dallas Morning News .
The final national trail study leading up to the Trail of
Tears' designation as the seventh National Historic Trail
Component of the National Trails System was completed in June of
1986. The book covers not only the removal route but an
environmental assessment. Signing of the route, primarily along
existing public roads and waterways, and development of
interpretive facilities and programs would have negligible
environmental impact, according to the report. The study was made
of historic properties extending from the vicinity of Murphy,
N.C., through Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois,
Missouri and Arkansas to the vicinity of Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
Several of the individual states involved already are well along
in developing sites on the route, Tennessee, for instance,
established a Trail of Tears State Historic Route several years
ago. It runs diagonally from the Georgia Border just east of
Chattanooga to the Kentucky line northwest of Nashville. The 260
mile route begins at a museum visitor. center complex,
reconstructed council house and model Cherokee farm at Red Clay
State Historic Area. From there, the route includes gravesites,
the remaining stockade (Old Fort Marr) in which Cherokees were
confined before removal and the Hermitage., ironically the home of
a staunch advocate of forced removal, President Andrew JACKSON,
plus many other sites.
From The Dallas Morning News February 12, 1989 and Southern
Living September 1988.

My own memories of him, as far as appearance went, were of a
tall, gaunt old man with a shock of iron grey hair and a short grey
beard; a hawk -like nose and piercing grey eyes almost hidden under
beetling grey brows. I have heard tales of his ungovernable temper
and arrogant disposition, but by the time I knew him the storms that
had passed over and through him had broken and tamed him I suppose.
I cannot recall a single instance of his giving vent to anything
spectacular in the way "of temper, and since he rather took up for me
now and then, my memories of him were kindly.
There were tales of gigantic practical jokes
as the Halloween when he and another man took the
carriage of Mansfield's most prominent sacred cow
and re- assembled it on the six -foot coping around
bank building. He certainly didn't look it - but
quite a lad along these lines.

Aunt Sallie had married during the war - a wealthy man, much
older than she, and she certainly indicated after her marriage that
she had inherited Grandpa's unpredictable nature along with his
sudden urge to go places.. Every now and then she would be seized
with the wanderlust and she would pick the ever - increasing family up
and pack them into the buckboard and start out. She might be gone
for months and cross several states before deciding to return to her
husband. She was a law unto herself for all of her life.
After Mother's graduation she went to teaching and taught for
several years. In the meantime, Grandpa flew into almost insane
rages if she showed any disposition to go out with beaux. How she
ever managed to get married heaven knows. Perhaps the fact that my
father was a minister reassured Grandpa that he had no base designs.
At any rate, Mother was married at about twenty -two to James Morgan
Truitt, a cousin of General John Morgan, the dashing guerilla general
of "Morgan, Morgan the raider."
Not long after their marriage Grandpa's health failed to such an
extent that he was unable to work regularly and he and Grandma sold
the farm, which was probably mortgaged to the roof, and went to live
with Mother and Dad. John, who had been graduated and set up by
Grandpa in a completely equipped office with surgical instruments and
everything, never - then or at any other time felt called upon to
contribute one ounce to the support of his parents.
My father was given a church in Texas shortly after their
marriage, and they went there to a little town called Centerville
where, some years later, I was born.
I think that right here I should tell the little I know about my
father's family. His mother was a Scot, descended from Lord MacKelvy
or MacElvy. His father, John ( ?) Truitt - I am not to sure of the
first name - was a ranch owner in west Texas, in the days when that
was the real West - and as wild as it was cracked up to be. He had
26
vast holdings in Spanish grants, some in West Texas and some as far
east as where Dallas is now located.
He was a hell raising heavy drinking Westerner and served as a
Colonel of Cavalry in both the Mexican and Civil Wars. When my
father was a little fellow, he used to smile and wave at the friendly
Indians who passed the ranch now and then, and one day a gang of them
came riding by at a gallop. One of them snatched him up on his horse
and they disappeared down the road. His mother was terrified and
summoned the men, who mounted and followed. They came up with the
Indians at the river and slipped up quietly to see what was being
done. The Indians were throwing little Jimmy out into the water and
then swimming around him, just out of his reach, touching him only if
he went under. It was the first of many swimming lessons and he was
the most beautiful swimmer I saw. He used the breast stroke, since
it was noiseless, and he swam rapidly and could go for miles without
tiring.
He grew up on his father's ranch, becoming a dead shot with a
pistol or rifle and a beautiful horseman. At fourteen he joined the
Texas Rangers and became an Indian fighter.
During this time his family had some trouble with a family named
Mitchell. I think, as I remember it, they were cattle rustlers. At
any rate, there was "law trouble" involved. My father and his
brothers were witnesses against the Mitchells, and one day the
Mitchell gang lay in wait for the Truitts and opened fire on them,
killing several of his brothers and simply filling my father's body
with buckshot. His horse carried him unconscious, to a ranch house,
and when they - pulled off his high boots they were filled with blood.
His supposedly dying statement was taken and his testimony was
instrumental in having the entire Mitchell gang condemned to death.
All were hanged but one of the brothers - Bill - who escaped, vowed
he would kill my father.
It could not have been long after this that my Father decided he
was going to have an education. Having decided, he wasted no time.
He told his father of his decision and left with the old man's curses
following him. He had heard of a wonderful man who was called by his
pupils "Old Marster". He must have been a rare soul. He was
particular as to whom he accepted as a pupil, his choice being
influenced by mental ability alone, and he taught men to read and
write their own names. He also taught them Latin and Greek and
Calculus and philosophy.

enough depth of understanding to write and publish articles in
Scribner's Magazine.
He was a scientist to his fingertips: and he said that the deeper
he delved into science the stronger became his faith and belief in
God. "How can one contemplate the infinity of Time and Space," he
said, "and not come face to face with God ?"
He was years ahead of his time in thought and ideals. He even
believed, both as a scientist and as a minister, in the theory of
Darwin, seven ages of creation instead of the seven literal days of
Genesis, and the primordial cell coming to life in the ooze, and
developing upward through the ages - through the fish of the sea, the
birds of the air, and on and on, until there came a creature that
walked upright, but was still an animal rather than a man. Then came
the time when this creature began to protect a weaker creature, to be
aware of a right and a wrong. When he learned to laugh and to weep,
God had breathed upon him and he had become man.
So this was the country preacher whom my mother married. She
brought to her marriage a brilliant mind, and what was at that time,
especially for a woman, an unusual fund of education, and an absolute
ignorance of life in general.
When he went to take over his little church in Centerville,
taking Grandfather and Grandmother along with him, the two old people-
found themselves again in Texas, but even in that little village, a
vastly different Texas from the one they had fought in the beginning.
However it was still pretty primitive. There were times when my
father and mother would have to take trips of fifty miles or more by
horse and buggy, railroads being few and far between in that section,
and a good horse could do fifty miles in a day. I have heard Mother
describe those rides across the Texas prairies. In wet weather the
famous "black waxy" clay would stick in their wheels from hub to rim,
and every vehicle would have to carry a long strong - bladed knife with
which to cut out this mud when it grew so heavy as to impede
progress. She said that in long spells of dry weather one came upon
piles of these triangular chunks of clay, baked hard by the sun, like
slabs of petrified pie.
Gradually the wheels of wagons would wear ruts, and then the
rains would wash these ruts deeper, until they became "hub deep",
when a new road would be started beside the old one. The old ruts
washed more and more, until the whole place would be filled with deep
gullies.
On one trip they took, they found themselves miles from a town,
and night coming on. They weren't fixed for camping, so they decided
to stop at a cabin along the way. The woman of the house told them
they were welcome to stay the night, and invited them in to sit by
the littered fireplace. When the men came, Mother's heart sank.
They were fearsome looking with long tangled black beards and
scowling faces. She and my father were assigned to the "guest room"
a bunk behind a curtain, and she parted the curtain with her knees
sinking under her. She knew she'd never dare to close her eyes that
night. Then, just as she was about to lay her trembling frame down
upon the corn shuck mattress, her eyes fell upon some papers strung
across the corner over the foot of the bed. She looked closer, and
it was a year's accumulation of THE TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. She
went to bed on the shuck mattress and slept all night.
Two years after my birth Mother had a little boy, whom, in a
moment of profligacy no doubt inspired by the fact that they were
forced to most gringing economy in everything else, they named Louis
Lacy Neal Truitt. Three years later my sister Pearl was born, and a
few weeks after her birth little Louis Lacy Neal died of what was
called membranous croup.but was no doubt diphtheria.
Things did not go so well for the little family. The church paid
a pitifully small salary, if they had paid it, which they never did.
The year I was born Mother said they received less than $300 for the
entire year. My grandfather had become unable to do more than potter
around the house, and required constant medical treatment. Things
went on, however, for about six years before my father realized that
something had to be done, and he began reading law in preparation for
taking on another means of livelihood. He hated to think of leaving
the ministry, for he was too firmly rooted a Christian to have his
faith shaken by any sort of ill treatment at the hands of mere men.
To add to his difficulties, his congregation could not comprehend a
man who would get together a gang of the worst toughs in town and
take them out on some lake fishing or hunting. He always said that
he had converted more men beside a camp fire than he ever had from
the pulpit. This was of course utterly unorthodox. Also, no
minister should get up in the middle of the night to go with the town
saloon keeper and christen his dying baby, especially since the
saloon keeper, not content with selling liquor and heaven knows what
beside, was a Catholic. All these things my father did.
Furthermore he played the fiddle. He could play anything he ever
heard without a mistake on his beloved fiddle, though he never knew
one note of music. Any instrumental music was looked upon with
distinct disfavor, and the violin was regarded as the devil's own
personal and private instrument, and when a preacher not only played
the fiddle but played reels, sitting on his own front steps and
watching his own little girl dance and cavort in the front walk like
a daft thing -- well
So my gay, laughing, fiddle - playing father
in his cheeks for all the world like Donald --
