CJJrazosGenealogical 85 c521dvertiser VOLUME VIII NUMBER 3 SUMMER 1987 BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION TEXAS EARLY LAWMEN OFl3RAZOS COUNTY By Naomi McCormick -, Information for this article was taken from Brazos Count~ History, George HAMILTON, author of "Lawmen and, Outlaws." Elliot McNeil MILLICAN was appointed sheriff of Brazos County by the Congress of the Republic of Texas, 1 January, 1841. An election was held in March and Elliot was our first elected sheriff of Brazos County. rc.., It seems MILLICAN had established himself as one of the marksmen of Brazos County and a formidable Indian fighter. There is a story told which alludes to his marksmanship and his fighting ability. , Prior to his appointment, MILLICAN and several other men were attacked by a group of Indians while riding across the prairie. They sought cover in a thicket. The men decided to let MILLICAN do all the shooting, due to his outstanding marksmanship, and I suppose they kept the guns loaded. The first Indian'to charge was dropped with the first shot. The next three In- dians were also dropped, each in turn with the next three shots by MILLICAN. The remaining Indians withdrew from the powerful "groUP" of Indian Fighters. However, during the affray, MILLICAN had taken an arrow in the leg. To remove the arrowhead which Was lodged in 'the bone, some of the flesh had to be cut away. I believe Elliot McNeil MILLICAN was chosen, not only for his bravery and marksmanship, but for his willingness and desire to serve his fellow man. I know it wasn't for the pay--he reportedly received $J8.80 for his . first year of labor as sheriff of Brazos County. Later, on 4 December, 1859, Elliot MILLICAN sold where the town of Millican is located to the Houston and Texas Central Railroad. It reached as far as Millican in 1860.

W. S6 r, AINT NOBODY HERE BUT JUS' US SCOUTS Ralph McCORMICK is currently compiling a history of the Arrowmoon Dis- trict of the Boy Scouts of America. One of the stories concerns a lawman of nearly 50 years ago. With Ralph's consent we publish the following: I enjoy visiting with Scouters of yesteryear because they like to talk about their Scouting experiences and usually have a good story to tell. Edward HANOVER is no exception. Ed was Scoutmaster of Troop 140 in Wheelock which organized back in February, 1941, and he served until February, 1942 when he entered the. ser- vice. Charter members of that rural Scout unit were: Carl SMITH, Wayne SMITH, W. C. SCASTA, Jr., James MILBERGER, Jack McNAIR, Joe McNAIR, Aaron McNAIR and John Henry SCASTA. Ed says, "The troop operated on a zero budget because none of us had any money. They were a fine bunch of boys." He tells me that one Friday he borrowed an old one-horse cart, equipped with buggy wheels, from his aunt, and loaded it with the Scout's gear and bedding, along with tarps, food, shovel, axe, cooking utensils and a kero- sene lantern. Some of the dads helped him get the loaded vehicle to the road which passes in front of the Treasure Hunt Ranch (the old DUNN place.) There, all of his Scouts got off the school bus, ready to begin their treck. Ed and Aaron'McNAIR, his largest Scout, manned a bar which was lashed across the end of the shaves. A long rope, attached to the front of the buggy, ran between the shaves and beyond. Cross sticks were tied into the rope, so that, Scouts could line up like a dog-sled team along both sides of the improvised tow-line. "It was not much of a load for any of us," Ed says. Their desti- nation was Camp Arrowmoon where they had plans to spend their time working on Scout advancements. Once through the fence, they crossed Treasure Hunt Ranch, following a trace of an old Wheelock-Sutton road. They crossed a lot of barbed-wire fences by going over some and under others. The sun set early and the moon rose late that night. The darker it became, the thicker the brush became, but Ed and his boys had been on a lot of 'possum hunts, making them good night time navagators. By the time they crossed Spring Creek they had to grope their way through the thicket and up the hill toward the mess hall with only dim light from their lantern. "It must have been 11:30 or so when we got there," says Ed. "By the time we made a campfire, set up camp and ate, it was after mid-night before we hit the sack." Meanwhile, things were happening back where they came from. Mr. Jim PERKINS of Hearne, former Texas Ranger, was then serving as "Cattle Ranger" in that area because some cattle rustling had been reported. While passing by,' the. Ranger's keen eye observed the spot where the Scouts had set out on their journey. Suspicious of such evidence, he followed their trail with his flashlight, until he lost it in the thicket. He hurried back to his car and drove around to Camp Arrowmoon hoping to out-flank and apprehend the elusive suspects. \ " About 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, a car pulled up across the lake from the campers. The driver got out and yelled, "Who's over there?" Ed called back and in their conversation the young Scoutmaster assured the lawman that he and his Scouts had created the mysterious trail. Mr. PERKINS drove away, convinced there was not one cattle rustler among them, but he returned the next morning to pay the Scouts a visit. He told them that during his search 9f their trail he had wondered how a cart had gotten across country w1thout a horse to pull it. f A FAMILY.S GOOD NAME SHOULD BE TREASURED. Several days ago while cleaning out some files I came acr-oss this poem by Edgar A. GUEST and felt as genealogists, it would have a special meaning for us. I offer it now as this issues editorial. YOUR NAME by Edgar A. Guest You got it from your father, 'twas the best he had to give. And right gladly he be- stowed it. It. s yours, the whi Ie you 1 ive. You may lose the watch he gave you and another you may claim, But remember, when you're tempted, to be careful of his name. It was fair the day you got it, and a worthy name to bear, When he took it from his father, there was no dishonor there. Through the years he proudly wore ft, to his father he was true, And that ~name was clean and spotless when he passed it on to you. Oh, ther's much that he has given that he values not at all. He has watched you break your playthings in the days when you were small. You have lost the knife he gave you and you've scattered many a game, But you'll never hurt your father if you're careful with his name. It is yours to wear ," ".i 87 PRESIDENT-S MESSAGE C Now that summer has come and gone, let's all get back into genealogy. Our Bylaws Committee has done much work in updating our Con- stitution and Bylaws to fit our present organization. We want to do all that we can to make this truly your Association. If you want to get the most from your membership, please participate by attanding all meetings and with your suggest- ions. We are open to al criticism--good or bad--this is necessary if we are to grow. Our Program Chairman, Alice ~TUBBS, has been hard at work and has lined up several inter- esting programs. We regret that so many of you missed the very interesting presentation of Judge Davis in July on THE FRAMING OF THE U.S. CONSTITU- TION. I t r I I Mary BELL, President forever, you~ to wear the while you live, Yours, perhaps, some dis- tant morning, another boy to give. rJ And you'll smile as did your father--wi!th a smi Ie that all can share, If a clean name and a good name you a~\e giving him to wear.

LAND MEASUREMENTS ---------------------------------------------------------------- At one time or another while doing family research the sys- tem of measurement used by early surveryors is confronted. The basis of measurment was the GUNTHER chain developed by Ed- mund GUNTHER in 1620. His chain was sixty-six feet long and consisted of 100 links of 7 92/100 inches each. It was made of number 6 or 9 wire. This chain played an important role In today's system of measurement. Our rod is 16 1/2 feet or one-fourth of a chain. The mile is 80 chains. The acre is ten square chains of 43,450 square feet. The rod was also known as a pole. Streets were laid out one chain wide. The old linear measure, now of- ten called the suveyor's measure was as follows: "}. 92/100 inches 25 links 100 links, 4 poles (66 feet) 10 chains make 1 LINK make 1 POLE make 1 CHAIN make 1 FURLONG 8 furlongs or 80 chains make 1 MILE In addition to the above infor- mation one will find on land grants the names of the CHAIN carriers. These are good clues to family relationships. The male chain carriers must have been fourteen years old or older and were usually sons or brothers of the grantee. If there were no males of that age the the chain carrier was pos- sibly a member of the wife's family. DEED OF GIFT: When there were two dates listed on a deed of gift, and these dates are at a wide berth (sic); one is lookng at the ap- proximate date of death of the grantor. Often a deed of gift from father to son devulges the approximate marriage date of the son.

COE, and published in the National Genealogical Society by Susanne Murrary. Regardless of their interest in family history, most people are intrigued with the idea of pos- sessing a coat of, arms. Quite a few of the uninitiated refer to it as the family "crest", not realizing that this was only a device of wood, leather, or metal which was attached to the top of the gallant knight's helmet as an additional means of recognition by his friends and foes. The arms, or insignia on the shields, of course, evolved be- cause of the need of identify- ing an individual among the many fighting men in clanking armor who lost their recog- nizability when they donned these trappings. Later the same symbols were put on ban- ners, on the coverings for horses, and embroidered on the surcoats protecting the armor from heat, dust, and rust. Hence the expression, "Coat of Arms." These sets of symbols were proud possessions of their owners, and they were passed from father to son, along with the surnames handed down from generation to generation. Four centuries ago a system of dif- ferentiation, or "differencing" (the heraldic term), was in- stituted by the sons of a family. While each son used the same devices as his father, he added a little symbol to show which son he was. This 111 v-0 system is ,still being used. There are altogether too many firms capitalizing on this preening human trait through unprincipled advertising, and extreme caution should be exer- cised when it comes to "Mail Order Heraldry." Unlike the British Isles, there is no law in America to prevent any per- son from appropriating any coat of arms to which he takes a fancy. Firms which purport to offer a coat of arms "for your family name" are taking unfair advantage of ignorance, for such arms cannot actually belong to you unless originally granted to an ancestor' of yours in the direct male line. As genealogists we need to re- search and verify any symbol of heraldry before accepting and using it as a symbol of ones family. As there is some in- terest in this subject among our membership, with the next issue of the ADVERTISER we will be running a series of articles on Heraldry. Nadine BILLINGSLEY, Editor 1 Mary COO~ER, has transcribed The Bryan City Cemetery books, 1870-1910J the information transcribJd from these books includes n~me, age, place of birth, dat~ and cause of death. The next i~sue of the Adver- tiser will\ publish pages from book five. .. 1 02 HANDWR I T I NG I N EARLY RECOHDS................................................................... Nothing is more frustrating than to find an old document which is difficult to read because of its style of handwriting. Because the quill was the writing instrument used on most documents up until about 1850 many factors are involved in the deciphering of the letters of the alphabet. Most quills were made by the persons doing the actual writing. thus personal preferences as to the widths of the pen nib greatly influenced the appearance of the letters, as well as. the parchments or papers used. The art of making paper from fibrous matter appears to have been practiced by the Chinese at a very distant period. Actually. different writers have traced it back to the 20nd century B.C. The manufacture of paper in Europe was first estab llshed by the Moors in Spain in the middle of the 12th century. But on the fall of the Moorish power the manufacture. passing into the hands of the less skilled Chris1tans, declined in the quality of its production. In Italy the art of paper-making was no doubt established through the Arab occupation of Siclly and was of oriental quality. In fact. the oldest recorded document on raper was a deed of King Roger of Sicily. of the year 1102; and there are others of Sicilian kings, of the 12ti. century, In Italy the first place which appears to have become a great centre of the paper-making industry-was Fabriano in the marquisate of Ancona. where mills were first set up in 1276, and which lose into importance on the decline of the manufacture in Spain. To this day the name, Fabrianr.. still carries considerable esteem in paper-making. particularly for calligraphy. There is evidence that at the beginning of the 14th century the use of paper in E'1g1and became a common occurrence. In America, the first paper mill was built in 1690 in Germantown. Pennsylvania. In 1810 there were more than 200 mills in operation making about $2.000.000 'r1urth of products. The combination of various qualities of papers, quills. writing skills and education often produced manuscripts which were undecipherable. But there were certain forms characteristic of the writing of our emigrant ancestors which were due neither to paper. pen nor lack of training. Fortunately, there are not many. but they appear with sufficient frequency to puzzle one unfamiliar with the SUbject.
