He married Mary PRICKETT in 1314, and was a business man in Illinois in 1820. In 1823, after reading about Stephen F. Austin's colony, he rode horseback to Texas. He met Sterling C. Robertson at San Felipe, then returned to Illinois in 132' to move his family to Texas. In the spring of 1834 he secured fifteen leagues of land from Sterling Robert- son, and called this prairie "Wheelock ". In 1834 James and Isabella DUNN, Irish settlers at Staggers Point, joined the Wheelocks on the south side of Wheelock village, calling their home "The Groves ". The CANFIELD family, and others, came also. A block- house was built, which later was used as the general land office and as the Court of the Alcalde under Mexican rule. The community they built was more desirable for homes than was the (then) county seat town, Old Franklin, to the north. By 1845 Wheelock was the best known town in central Texas. It was on the main stage and mail routes; ox- wagons passed over its streets and great herds of cattle were driven from the town to distant markets. Homes, churches and taverns were built. The main avenue of the town was named "State Street ", in hopes Wheelock would become the capital of Texas. By 1841 the town had twenty business establishments. Henry KELLOGG had a gene- ral store in 1841; there were the land and freight offices, a race track, cock - fighting pits, the Stage Coach Inn, a doctor's office, the Irish Church and also the First Presbyterian Church, built by Isabella CANFIELD DUNN in 1835. Dr. John CAMERON from Scotland was one of the more famous doctors; Dr. COLLARD, Dr. Belvedore BROOKS and Dr. .Jade HEDRICK were others. The Wheelock Cemetery is one of the oldest and most beautiful in the County of Robertson, the Platt given by George DUNN. The Irish built the Old Irish Church on Red Top Prairie; some of the ministers were Isaac ADDISON, Robert CRAWFORD. W. E. PENN, George and Joseph SNEED, R. E. B. BA`(LOR, Rufus BURLESON, D. W. GARDNER, Robert ALEXANDER, G. B. CORNFIELD, and B. H. CARROL. The town became the county seat of Robertson County in 1850. The first term of court was held under the open sky on October 11, 1850. Oaths of of- fice were administered by T. J. WINKLER, the new County Clerk, and Samuel Blackburn KILLOUGH, who would soon become the Chief Justice, introduced the following officials: Adam STREET, Sheriff; W. H. WHEELOCK, Deputy Sheriff; Cavitt ARMSTRONG and J. F. McGREW, Commissioners; Harrison OWEN, who was re- tiring from public life. At first, county records were kept in temporary buildings, until the courthouse could be built. A. L. BRIGANCE was awarded the contract for the construction of a two -story a,vooden building_ 1,aith out - side stairways, and it was built in 1853. 123 124 Some of the families who lived there in the early days were the WHEEL - OCKS, George and Nancy KILLOUGH DUNN, Felix ROBERTSON who married Mary DUNN. Later, after his death, she married David LOVE. Also among these early settlers were Joseph CAVITT and wife Catherine Ann DUNN, M. C. ARMSTRONG, T. A. SIMMS, MITCHELL's, CURRY('s, John YOUNG and wife Mary Ann DOUGLAS (my ancestors), and many more. In 1850, the first commissioners elected from precincts within the county were: Granville ARNETT, Thomas R. WEBB, C. W. BRATTON and Clark COBB. The following persons were to work on the road: Mrs. Ann ARMSTRONG's hands, Valne,y CAVITT and his hands, T. L. WINKLER, S. B. KILLOUGH, J. C. BROOKS, C. C. HEARNE, James 'YOUNG, Henry SHEETS, Early BROWN and all persons resid- ing at the BROWN home, John. ARNETT, William CHEEK, J. H. KILLOUGH and his hands, and all other persons living at Wheelock. The Court met for the last time at Wheelock on August 19, 1856. The Chief Justice ordered that the county records be moved to Owensville, a new community fifteen miles away. The jail held three prisoners, so the sheriff, William WHEELOCK, ordered that they remain until a new jail could be built at Owensville. The Gillespie Lodge, A.F. & A.M. No. 55, Wheelock, was run by Worship - full Master Byrum WICKSON; some of the officers were Joshua SEALE, Thomas ROGERS, Albert PERRY, Claiborne VARNER, Harvey MITCHELL, W. C. CASE, G. H. LOVE, John REYNOLDS, John LLOYD, B. W. COBLE and John CASE`. 125 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE EDITORIAL__�_________�_r� As our President asks, do come IMMEDIATE REPLY NEEDED: SEARCH forward, someone, and take on FOR NEW EDITOR OF THE ADVERTISER, th is Job! Time grows short in- AND FOR TALENTED INDIVIDUALS TO deed. That big New `(ear's Day WORK ON THE ADVERTISER. of 1990 draws close! Harry Portzer, our editor, has given of his time and effort to make the Advertiser the outstanding publication that it is and we need to have another assume this position. It requires time, patience and talent, which a number of our members possess. It is time for you to step forward and help keep our Advertiser at this high level of acceptance. As genealogist, we need to continue our quest on a daily (or at least a weekly) basis in order to keep current on the earlier family members. One is never closer to the solution of the "missing" member of the family than you are today. You know more about your family now than your descendants (remember our constant lament, "If only I had asked Mother or Dad, or Grandmother ") If you don't ask the questions now, how long will it take another member of the family to become as interested as you are in your family? Do you have some assurance that they can take your records and find the family lines as well as you? Have you been writing down 'those possible connections that might lead to the right ancestor or locale? Or like so many of us, do you leave it in your mind to work on later and then realize that you can't remember the logic or name and that possibility is lost to the next person trying to locate this relative. For your sake, please write it down and save the time. Please try to attend our meetings on the third Monday night of each month and share your experiences with others. Our roster for January of 1990 has now been prepared, starting from scratch with only those of our members who are paid up for 1989. Keep in mind that you can save $2.00 by paying 1990 dues before the end of this year, if you wish the four issues mailed to you.. To be fully informed, read the "tear -out" page oppo- site the inside back cover for complete details about our 1990 dues policy. We have not heard many comments about the AMERICAN ROOTS puzzle as yet. How many members were able to solve it? More "Family Stuff" appears in this issue, but there are still thirteen pages left for 1990. Your new Editor will need lots of QUERIES, and other contribu- tions, to get him or her off to a flying start. Get these in to the new staff by early January. And again thanks to Mary Cooper for Bryan City Cemetery data in this issue. She has very kind- ly promised to contribute more Census and Cemetery pages next year, as well. Donald F. Simons H. J.

COMPILED SERVICE RECORDS OF VOLUNTEER Microfilm /B/3739 SOLDIERS WHO SERVED DURING THE MEXICAN WAR IN ORGANIZATIONS FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS This set is especially important since fire destroyed Texas' records for soldiers who served during the Mexican War, 1846 to 1848. The service records include not only a record of a soldier's service, but may also include his age, physical description, place of enlistment, whether he was injured or died during set a description of any equipment he carried into service, and miscellaneous other information.

It is unknown whether all passengers arriving at New Orleans during the period they city was controlled by the Confederate States of America are listed; however, few passengers probably arrived during that period due to the northern blockade of the port. Passengers destined for many different areas passed through New Orleans. A cursory examination of a few records included persons bound for Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin. In a few cases specific cities were named, such as New Orleans or St. Louis. Many entries noted only "United States." Though this might appear redundant at first glance; some passengers merely passing through New Orleans on their way to other destinations (such as China or Cuba) are included in these records. Most of the passengers originally sailed from European ports or locations in the Caribbean, but a scattering of passengers from other origins are included. This index is especially important since many immigrants who eventually settled in Texas legally entered the United States through the port at New Orleans The index cards reproduce much signficiant information, including country of origin, place of sailing, age, and destination. The Library does not have the passenger lists this work indexes, but copies of individual records can be ordered from the National Archives. Access: The names are arranged in alphabetical order. INDEX TO TEXAS BIRTH RECORDS Microfilm /A/414.5 -414.7 Index Probate Birth Records 1945 S Prior Microfilm /A/414.7 Index to Probate Birth Records, Texas Delayed Microfilm /A/414.5 Index to Birth Records, Texas 1920 Microfilm /A/414.6 These indexes apparently index both the certificates filed at the time of birth and delayed certificates. The delayed 14 birth certificates were obtained by persons (usually adults) whose births were not recorded when they occurred. The certificates cover the period from about 1880 until 1945. Because the certificates were obtained in the counties where the person currently resided, the delayed certificates include some births which occured outside of Texas. The indexes are arranged in alphabetical order and give the name of the person born and the county (and state if not Texas), plus the date of birth. Copies of the birth certificates can be ordered from the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Austin. No readily apparent criteria have been found for determining whether an individual is most likely to be listed in the first or the second set, and researchers should check both indexes in order to be sure all significant information has been identified. Texas was slow to enforce the law mandating registration of births, and many births prior to 1940 were never recorded. Related work: Early Texas Birth Records, 1833 -1878 (F/385/G7/1978). Almost all of the births in this work date from the 1870s. Access: Names are arranged in alphabetical order.

In time he became a contractor. The family had become pretty well established, and the old love of change must have been nagging at Grandpa, when there was a sudden excitement through the country. GOLD! Gold in California! Buckets of it. Nuggets as big as your fist to be had for the mere traveling across the continent on horseback or by covered wagon and staking your claim and then digging. Grandma again put her foot down. No more pioneering for her. The children were in school and they had a little home of their own and a crop in the ground. Well, he could do as he pleased, but she and the children would remain where they were. Before you could say scat, she was helping him pack his saddle bags and waving him goodbye. He was probably happier than he had been in years - a good horse under him and all of his responsibilities temporarily on someone else's shoulders and him off to seek adventure. So far as anyone was ever able to discover, that and just that is what he found. Eventually he arrived home quite unexpectedly, with a handful of gold nuggets which he gave to his friends, the old Chinese work box, and an inexhaustible fund of the most hair- raising stories a small girl ever listened to. He had been captured by Indians and had had the presence of mind to present the chief with his watch, thereby winning his actual freedom. He had come home by way of Cape Horn and been shipwrecked. A lot of these yarns were real no doubt, but I imagine there was a bit of very colorful embroidery too. Still - giving him his due such tales were true at that time of less adventuresome souls than Grandpa, fantastic as they sound now. It was in Mansfield that Mother was born - the youngest of a large family, several of whom I think must have died quite young. I'm sure there were seven or eight in the family originally, yet I can only remember the little artist boy whom I have mentioned, and Sarah and Elizabeth and Thomas and John and Mother (Julia). Lizzie, it seems, was the family beauty, and also the artistic one. She did exquisite needlework and little bits of painting. She was slightly crippled, from having walked into the embers of a bonfire when she was very small, and burned her feet so badly that all of the toes of one foot were lost. Aunt Sallie was, I think, the oldest. At any rate, she inherited. Grandpa's temper and unpredictable nature. She seemed to rule the feminine portion of the family through the expedient of going into violent temper tantrums when crossed. Grandfather had built Mansfield College soon enough after his advent in Mansfield that his children could all attend school there. Both Aunt Sallie and Aunt Lizzie were among the early graduates. By W the time Mother could hitch two words together, Aunt Sallie began teaching her - and it is a wonder she didn't make a complete wreck of the poor child, who was delicate and oversensitive anyway. At seven she was studying Latin and French, and her punishments for failure to recite perfectly were swift and merciless. Mother had an insatiable love for learning that was hard to discourage, and by the time she was eight she was reading Dickens and Thackery and Scott and everything else she could get her hands on. Strangely enough, though the family was far from wealthy by the old Southern standards of wealth consisting of untold acres and hundreds of slaves, they stood exceedingly well in this old town, and seemed to be greatly looked up to, for both Sarah and Lizzie were unusually brilliant girls, and they were friends with the "old guard" and went to their parties and invited them to their own. In one of those old houses, the father one day came upon little eight year old Julia curled up in a chair reading an important leather bound book, and upon examination found it was Ivanhoe. A little questioning brought forth the fact that she fully understood what she was reading, and he immediately threw his huge library, with its shelves reaching to the ceiling, open to her allowing her to borrow any book she wanted, and upon its return to take out another. This was heaven to her, and she would take home a book which she and "Sister Sally" would read aloud together in the evenings. Steadily she read her way through Dickens, Scott, and Thackery. Much of this reading was done aloud as the family sat around the fire evenings, and through it my grandmother, with her alert mind, was compensated for lack of early education. Her knowledge of literature was amazing and her use of English far better than the English used by the average college student today. Any deviation from pure English, or of slang was frowned upon by her always. Her use of it was not merely correct, but filled with vitality and enormous variety. In some ways Julia might have been lonely, but from her own accounts she must have owned whole droves of cats. They followed her about the farm and she talked to them as though they were perfectly capable of understanding and replying in comprehensible English. I can see plainly where Grandma got her undying hatred of cats. She must have had to brush new born kittens out of the seams of her clothes. Of all the family, her brother Thomas was her favorite. He must have been an unusually kind and thoughtful person. I remember her telling of his coming upon her one time when she was trying to learn the multiplication table, and learn it apparently all of a gulp. He sat down and took her arithmetic away from her and then explained to her that if he were trying to get a large amount of stove wood into a given space that he would never do it by throwing it all in every old way. He would have to pile it in carefully and in order. So she was to take the business of learning the same way. Just learn one thing at a time and then go on from there. She never forgot it. Until that time it seems that she had never learned how to study. Aunt 147 Sally had demanded that she know so many tables and so many Latin conjugations the next day, but had never given her an inkling of how to go about it. It was about this time that the War landed like a bombshell in the midst of their lives. There had been anger and unrest and bold talk one week, and the next there were hurried goodbyes and frightened women packing saddle bags with hastily got - together clothing and such articles as they thought might be needed during the few weeks it would take our boys to wipe the last hated Yankee off the face of the earth. This dearly beloved brother was going. He talked it over with Grandfather, who was fifty, and urged that he stay with Grandmother and the girls and him take cars of the fighting for the family. He left with his Blackstone packed in his saddle bags, along with Dr.. Thatcher, his teacher of law. In his letters from the front until the time of his death he spoke frequently of "reading law with Thatcher last evening ". But one morning he looked up to see Grandpa standing over him. I'd like to have seen the man who was able to keep my Granddad out of a good war. Of course I do think he was fighting for home and loved ones and all that, but they were just stand -ins. He was really fighting because a fight was pure ecstasy to him, and so that was that and the family was getting along finely without him, which of course they really did, along with thousands of other southern families. If he had but known it, that war was to be his undoing. So far as actual injury went, I don't think a single bullet ever grazed him, but a man of fifty -odd doesn't rebound always from sleeping on the wet ground, having measles and shivering with chill and fever in cold and wet, and coming down with an especially virulent dysentery that swept the camps. When he returned home at the close of the war he was a broken man, and though he was able to take up in some measure his old work, he gradually continued to fail in health. But he still had yarns to spin about the war. One of the best I think was of a time when he was on the extreme right end of his column and they were advancing on the enemy hell- for - leather. He had lost the sight of his left eye and the hearing of his left ear years before in some way, so he had failed to notice the fact that the column had been ordered to retreat until, upon looking around, he found that he was advancing alone upon an entire Yankee outfit which was pouring lead into the air around him until it was practically solid. He always said that he decided at first to withdraw in a quiet and dignified manner, but right then a coffee pot full of grape -shot landed almost in his hip pocket and so - well, he hurried. There was a wonderful trip the family took to visit the branch of f' the family in the north which must have been taken before the war, as ram I doubt if they could have afforded it afterward. They all went up the river to Illinois on one of the great old "floating Palaces" and when they returned they went clear down to New Orleans, coming back to Mansfield by a smaller boat. Their descriptions of this trip were thrilling: the long, beautiful days on deck and the wonderful scenery of the upper Mississippi and the steam boat racing. Gradmother was thrown into a tizzy, though by the discovery that the broiled lobsters served at dinner had actually been thrown alive on the hot coals. This trip was one of the few really joyous experiences of Mother's childhood, which was so soon to be overshadowed by the War. I write it in capital letters because that was the way I always heard and thought of it. The War. It seemed to need no other qualification. Among other changes in their lives, the War turned Mansfield into a sort of cooperative village. So many workmen, craftsmen and men of every calling were off at the front, they had to piece out what little skill was left to do for everybody. One man made the shoes for the town, using scraps of cloth for the uppers, as leather had become scarce. Aunt Sally made hats and bonnets - using everything, even making bonnet crowns from the lacy dishrag gourds. Grandmother made dresses when she was not making uniforms for the soldiers, and trained some of the daughters of those rich planters in the fundamentals of sewing. I remember how she used to laugh at the story of one girl who was making a coat for her husband in the army, and she put in the sleeves upside down so that they stuck straight up. She said a few more like that and the South would have surrendered before it did. Uncle John, who was about twelve, got a gang of boys together and they drilled every day. Someone called them the Shirttail Brigade and the name stuck. The Shirttail Brigade would have grown into the real service in another year or so. Mother told of having the Yankees camped near them, and the state of fear they were in because they had a wounded Confederate soldier concealed in the house. Everything had been taken from them, but the old negro mammy had managed to retrieve one hen. Just as they were about to decapitate her to make soup for the soldier she saved her neck by laying an egg. Certainly an egg a day was better than soup for, say two days at the best, and then -? The hen was put in an upstairs room, and every day she laid in the fireplace, an old white doorknob being used as a "nest egg ". It was Mother's job to sit beside the fireplace until the egg was a "fait accompli"and then grab the hen and hold her mouth so she could not cackle.

Immortalized in a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier. He became a Quaker (as +..gas Eliz- abeth), which seems inconsis- tent with his military career, but so the facts are. The Underhill family were her- editary stewards to the Earl of Warwick at Killingworth in Warwickshire. It was also known as Kenilworth; under this name it became the title of and was featured in one of Sir Walter Scott's "Waverly" novels.

Marian is a descendant of their daughter Lucy Winthrop Downing (1600- 1679). Jane and Marian are eleventh cousins, once removed. 1523 (Elizabeth (Fones) Winthrop b. 1610 p.b.London, England 7694 M.

During this time Mother's Latin and French were of necessity neglected. There was no time or thought for school. The college was turned into a hospital and Mother was left to the company of her rapidly increasing drove of cats and the unlimited use of one of the finest libraries in Mansfield. The gentleman who owned it had continued to encourage her to make complete use of it. While Grandma and the girls sewed in the evenings, Mother read aloud from the borrowed books. It was about this time that she began making up stories and putting them on paper using the backs of letters or bits of wrapping paper - anything that could be written on. She used to wonder just how rich people had to be before they could have their stories published in papers and magazines. Eventually the war was over and the men who were left returned to try and save something from the wreckage. It was a sad homecoming. The ones who stayed on the battlefield were the ones to be envied. The others who returned — neither with their shields, nor borne upon them - broken in health and in spirit, faced a well nigh impossible task, that of starting life over again with neither stock nor money nor help; truly the task of making bricks without straw. Julia's beloved Thomas did not come home. He was killed in the Battle of Shiloh, the day before he was to have come home on furlough. Grandpa was in his middle fifties, and the exposure and illnesses contracted in the army had left his health permanently affected. He suffered tortures with rheumatism and added to that, shortly after his return was taken with what the doctors declared was a sporadic case of Asiatic cholera. He was almost.dead of it, and a number of times after that had other attacks of the same terrible illness. Somehow, in spite of all of it, he managed to get the family on it's feet again and in some miraculous way he put John-and Julia through school. No public schools then, remember -- and to send John through Tulane Medical and Mother through Mansfield must have required tremendous effort and sacrifice. He had his faults, that old man, but I really take my hat off to him.
