| 369 | A TRIBUTE: To The Memory of Mrs. Robert Broyles. On October 27th 1904, there passed from earth into the Christian's glorious reward a woman known and loved by the old time residents of Palestine in the years gone by - then known as Mrs. GEORGE McCLURE, a winsome girl of many graces of heart and mind. She was born October 14, 1849, in the sleepy, restful old Palestine of ante-railroad days in the old "Female Academy," the old white house with green shutters in the grand old grove of oaks on the hill, all of which is now only a bright sweet memory. She grew to a beautiful womanhood of rare intellectual gifts. There, at maturity, she taught the children of her friends. At twenty-one years of age she joined the Methodist Church, in the old church in the old town; the simple old building embowered in verdant shade, where for years she was an earnest Christian worker and Sunday school teacher. The name of McCLURE has also become only a memory in the Palestine of today. From the beginning of Palestine, Mr. ALEXANDER EWING McCLURE was one of the town's foremost citizens, the old law firm of A.E. McClure and Reuben Reese maintaining its prestige for years. For a quarter of a century he was part owner with "Jimi" EWING, also departed, of the old "Anderson County Advocate," and later the "Palestine Advocate," now also a thing of the dead past. Miss Georgia McClure, the second daughter of A.E. McClure and Anne Glenn, his wife, was married to Mr. ROBERT BROYLES, a member of the Broyles family of Anderson County, on December 19, 1872, at Palestine, Texas. Her eldest sister, Mrs. Mollie Hamlett, lives in Montalba, Anderson County. The eldest brother, Robert McClure, is an honored citizen of Rusk, Texas. In the old McClure burying ground of the old cemetery, lies "Billy" and "Alex," with others of the name. Thomas and George Ewing are surviving brothers. About twenty-five years ago, or more, the subject of this sketch went with her husband to the far west and settled in what afterwards became known as Broyles' Valley, near Cherokee in San Saba County. There, far away from home and kindred she lived the courageous life of the pioneer woman. With all her culture and refinement, she made herself the friend and neighbor of the hardy pioneer class around her, and she was truly loved and lamented by them when she lay down in her last sleep. Her good husband and five dutiful children survived her: Nellie, the eldest, living, Marsh, aged eighteen years, George, Sixteen, Rose, eleven years, and Alex, the nine years old baby. Dan, her eldest born, and Tom, the second son, and an unnamed infant have preceded her to the better land. Her illness was brief, and she met death as she had always met life, bravely and cheerfully. She was noble and good, a devoted wife and mother, a useful and happy Christian, a never failing friend. She has left to her children their rich inheritance promised by Him who said, "That it go well with thee, and thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord." Dora Fowler Arthur, Austin, Dec. 12, 1904. | MCCLURE, Georgia Virginia (I3797)

| 371 | Benedict Arnold (21 December 1615 – 19 June 1678) was president and then governor of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, serving for a total of 11 years in these roles. Coming from Somerset, England, he was born and raised in the town of Ilchester, likely attending school in Limington, nearby. In 1635, at the age of 19, he accompanied his parents, siblings and other family members on a voyage from England to New England, where they first settled in Hinghamin the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In less than a year they moved to Providence on the Narragansett Bay at the request of Roger Williams. In about 1638 they moved once again, about five miles south to the Pawtuxet River, settling on the north side at a place commonly called Pawtuxet. Here they had serious disputes with their neighbors, particularly Samuel Gorton, and as a result put themselves and their lands under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, a situation lasting for 16 years. Learning the native languages at an early age, Arnold became one of the two leading interpreters in the Rhode Island colony, Roger Williams being the other. He was frequently called upon to interpret during negotiations with the natives, but on one occasion was accused by them of misrepresentation. In 1651 Arnold left Providence and Pawtuxet with his family, settling in Newport where he began his public service which would last continuously until his death. He quickly became a freeman, Commissioner, and Assistant, and in 1657 succeeded Roger Williams as President of the colony, serving for three years. In 1662 he was once again elected President, and during the second year of this term the Royal Charter of 1663 was delivered from England, naming him as the first Governor of the colony, and offering broad freedoms and self-determination to the colony. A bold and decisive leader, Arnold was elected for two additional terms as governor, the last time following the devastation of King Philip's War. He died on 19 June 1678 while still in office, and was buried in the Arnold Burying Ground, located on Pelham Street in Newport. In his will he left to his wife his "stone built wind mill," which still stands as an important Newport landmark. | ARNOLD, Governor Benedict (I9479)

| 382 | JESSE C.BARTLETT , pioneer photographer of Texas, whose accomplishments have contributedvery materially to the perfection of picture making, both as to mechanical and chemical process, and as to artistic technique, has been progressively engaged in this work formerly four decades, operating in various leading cities of the State. Since 1910 Mr. Bartlett has been established in his famous Bartlett's Studio, in Wichita Falls,Texas, where he now operates in association with his son, Clyde D.Bartlett. They do expert portrait work, both in originals and enlargements, as well as commercial photography of unusual excellency, and Kodak film developing and finishing. Mr. Bartlett began his career as a photographer, in Brownwood, Texas, in 1898, spending some years there, and later going to Dallas, Houston and Galveston, in all of which cities he operated studios, prior to coming to Wichita Falls, in 1910, since which time he has won wide distinction throughout this section for the excellence of his work, which is that of the true artist photographer. Mr. Bartlett was born in Navarro County, Texas, near Corsicana, on the twenty-second day of August, 1871,being a son of T. S.Bartlett, a farmer of that community. T. S. Bartlett, a native Texan, was born in the state in 1841, and lived out his lifetime of eighty-five years without once going out of Texas. Jesse C. Bartlett was educated in the schools of the state, and after some years at various occupations, principally farming, and teaching in the public schools for forty years and at Chambers Business College at Corsicana, he entered upon his career as a photographer. Mr. Bartlett wasmarried on the twenty-fifth day of December, 1892, to Miss Mamie Donaldson, of Navarro County, she being a daughter of Dan Donaldson, of that county. Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett have four children: Bessie Lee,now Mrs. G. T. Buchanan, of Wichita Falls; Clyde D.Bartlett, associated with his father in business; Maybelle,and Wade H. The family home is at 805 Bluff Street. Mr. Bartlett has membership in the Chamber of Commerce. His hobby is his home and family, he being that home type of man to whom family takes the place of clubs and lodges. He takes great pride in his photographic studio, and quite pardonably, for it represents a lifetime of adherence to ideals and standards that have never once been lowered, his goal at all times being that perfection of workmanship that marks the true artist.

| 388 | MALAKOFF HAS CLAY "Clay from the pits of Malakoff, in Henderson County, won the bronze metal at the St. Louis Exposition, and in addition we are quite a lignite center." said T.A. Bartlett, merchant and brick and tile manufacturer of that place, who was in Dallas Saturday. "For the last few months the demand for tile and brick has been rather low, but of late we have had inquiries which indicate that business should soon pick up. There has also been an improvement from the mercantile standpoint. So far we have made brick and tile from our clay, but in time everything in the clay line will be manufactured there, I am certain. As the demand in the South grows for clay products our plants can be equipped to manufacture all products. We already have three lignite mines there and a fourth is being opened now. The production heretofore has been about thirty cars a day, but when the fourth mine is completed, the daily shipments will be about fifty cars. There are several hundred acres of the lignite in that district, and the industry should prove to be a very important one wiht the fine quality of lignite that is in the reserve." Mr. Bartlett said he believed there will be a magical change in conditions as soon as the people decide to take their losses as they should and forget about it in going ahead and working for the future. He said that East Texas, in his opinion, exceeds any other part of the State in getting back to normal conditions after a depressing period. ------------------------------------- Lignite, often referred to as brown coal, or Rosebud coal by Northern Pacific Railroad, is a soft brown fuel with characteristics that put it somewhere between coal and peat. It is considered the lowest rank of coal, and is found in the United States, Canada, Greece, and Germany where it is used almost exclusively as a fuel for steam-electric power generation. Up to 50% of Greece's electricity comes from lignite power plants, and 25% of Germany's electricity. Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | BARTLETT, Thomas Anthony (I18)

| 395 | Notes for John Anderson from the website "Descendents of David Anderson" http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~anderson/va/trees/david.html visited 10/29/2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subj: John & Sarah Date: 7/23/00 10:04:46 AM Eastern Daylight Time From: annbee@airmail.net (Ann Beeler) To: PatAnder73@aol.com (PatAnder73@aol.com) Pat, You asked about John and Sarah: According to his great-great grandson, Boon Anderson, John Anderson was born in Scotland and brought to this country as a boy. He married Sarah Carney in 1752 in Overwarton Parish, Stafford County, Virginia. He and Sarah moved their family from Stafford County to Greenville County, South Carolina before the war with England. John served his country from here in Benjamin Roebuck’s Company. He was killed in the Battle of Augusta in 1781. About 1795 virtually all of Sarah’s children left South Carolina and moved to Warren County, Kentucky. She went with them. Over the next thirty years these children and their children scattered and settled in western Kentucky, Alabama, Indiana, Mississippi and Texas where most of them still have descendants. Sarah died in Kentucky in 1811. My webpage at http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/e/e/Ann-L-Beeler/index.html has this line with documentation. You're welcome to whatever you wish to copy from it. Ann ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REV. JAMES ANDERSON NOT THE FATHER OFJOHN ANDERSON WHO MARRIED SARAH CARNEY Probably twenty years ago, the assertion was made that the Rev. James Anderson was the father of our John Anderson. As soon as it came to my attention, I started trying to track down the reason why this statement was made. I didn't really doubt it, I just wondered how the connection was made. What I learned was that it all seemed to hinge on the fact that someone had given January 13, 1724 as our John's birthdate. Of course, that was when the Rev. James' son, John, was born. My next step was to find out why this birthdate was assigned to our John. I finally tracked it back to an elderly lady in Kentucky who, when I wrote to her, didn't have a clue where she had gotten the date or why she thought it was our John's. Then, I assembled all the references I could find which had been offered as proof and tracked them back as far as I could and came up with the following sources: Bible Record of Rev. James Anderson - states only that he had a son, John, born January 13, 1724-5 in New York Pennsylvania Genealogies by Wm. Egle - only quotes the above Bible record Immigrants to America Before 1750 by Virkus - quotes the above Bible records and adds that John "died young" DAR Application of Mrs. Dena Henslee Singleton, Nat'l #526822 - I received a copy of this application which DAR had corrected to show that her ancestor John Anderson who married Sarah Carney was born January 13, 1724 in New York. I wrote the Lineage Research Committee of NSDAR in Washington, D. C, regarding this entry, explaining the controversy over John's birthdate, etc. On August 15, 1979, they sent a letter stating - "The birthdate written in on National No. 526822 Is completely incorrect. That is the birthdate for John Anderson, son of Rev. James Anderson, but this man is not your Revolutionary ancestor. This man was married to Ann Irvin, From your records we know that your ancestor John Anderson was married to Sarah Carney. ...A date of circa 1730 has been given to your Revolutionary ancestor since we have no specific date for his birth." The following, although it does not constitute proof, must be considered as much of the information came from this John Anderson's own granddaughter: Maxwell History and Genealogy by Florence Wilson Houston - 1916 "The descendants of our John Anderson say he was the son of the Rev, James Anderson of Donegal, Penn, and so far we have found nothing to disprove this, while there is much that makes it conclusive, though it has been claimed by some historians that he was the son of John or James Anderson of Augusta County, Virginia." "In the will of James Anderson he mentions by name only his wife, a niece, his daughter, Susanna, and the youngest son, Thomas, who was still a child and yet to be educated.... After mentioning these he directs that his remaining property be 'divided among all my children'." "John, the seventh child of Rev. James Anderson, was born January 13, 1724. It is recorded that he was born in New York, while his mother was visiting at the home of a relative, His early years were spent in Pennsylvania, but when still a youth he went to Virginia and the greater part of his active years were spent there." "By various records-especially the Virginia Magazine of History and biography and the Chalkley Records, his path is made clear, For the more minute and intimate details, as to his family, we have the long line of descendants given from the personal knowledge of his granddaughter Martha (Anderson) Baugh, near the middle of the last century...." (here follows a brief history of the Old Stone Church of Augusta Co., Va.) "Reverting to John Anderson: He married, about 1750, Anna Irvine (Erwin). The following list of their descendants is from Court Records and from data given more than fifty years ago, by their granddaughter Martha (Anderson) Baugh, a daughter of their son, William.".... (There is no question but that this is a completely different line from ours.) What it all come down to is that (unless there is some documentation that I don't know about) is there is NO proof that our John Anderson who married Sarah Carney is the son of the Rev. James Anderson and very substantial proof that the Rev. James' son, John, married Ann Irvine (Erwin). If you have anything that would contradict this, I would be very interested in hearing about it.

| 398 | PORTER'S BLUFF, TEXAS. Porter's Bluff, also known as Taos, was a ferry crossing and shipping point on the Trinity River during the second half of the nineteenth century. Located sixteen miles northeast of Corsicana just off Farm Road 85 in extreme northeastern Navarro County, it was one of the earliest settlements in the county. It was founded by Col. Robert H. Porter, who received a tract of land on the Trinity River in recognition for his service in the Texas Revolution.qv Porter conceived of establishing a major shipping center on the river to serve area plantations. In 1848, with the assistance of John H. Reagan,qv he platted the town and named it Taos. A ferry began operating sometime later, and by the late 1850s Taos was a thriving town with a blacksmith shop, several stores, and a sawmill. The town also served as a port for small steamboats, known as packets, which before the Civil Warqv plied the Trinity, brought supplies, and transported cotton downriver. Taos continued to prosper until the early 1870s, when the Houston and Texas Central Railroad extended its line from Bryan to Corsicana. Competition from the railroad effectively brought an end to the river traffic, and the town began to decline. The ferry continued to operate until the 1880s, when it was replaced by a bridge. A post office under the name Porter's Bluff opened in 1900 but was discontinued in 1904, and by the mid-1930s the community was a ghost town. In 1990 no traces of the town remained. No population estimates were available. SOURCE: Annie Carpenter Love, History of Navarro County (Dallas: Southwestern, 1933). | BARTLETT, Joseph Callaway (I701)

| 400 | STERLING HART TURNER One incident which portrays his compassionate nature occurred at his home in early “reconstruction” days when a posse of local young men from upper Anderson County waylaid a company of raiding Federal Troops. Firing on them from an ambuscade of rail fence, they soon put them to rout, leaving one seriously wounded. They were determined to kill him. Mr. Turner, recognizing fraternal brother Masons in the local company, asked that he be allowed the privilege of finishing the task. This being granted, he put the wounded man on his horse and disappeared into the thickly wooded area. Here he told the man not to move or try to escape till he returned. After firing his gun, Mr. Turner returned to the company of the posse and they, being satisfied that the Federal man was dead, departed . Then Mr. Turner went back into the woods, carried the wounded man to his home and cared for him to the best of his ability but was unable to save his life. After his death, Turner gave him decent burial in the Turner family graveyard. This account of mercy cost Sterling Hart Turner his home: for the raiders returned, burned the house with only five minutes being allowed to remove anything from it. This posse of local young men also burned a number of nearby homes and killed Matthew Ellison when he asked them not to take his plow horse. The father of the Federal trooper later came from Ohio to carry his son’s body back home. He expressed great appreciation for the Turner’s care of his son and brought gifts to the Turner family. One of the last skirmishes of the War Between the States to take place in this section was between a Federal raiding party stationed in Greenville and a posse of local young men determined to pursue and punish the raiders, following an “invasion” of their territory. The sons of Major Russell were in this posse. Their home was about two miles west of the Old Richmond Cemetery where the Major is buried, but in an unknown grave. | TURNER, Sterling Hart (I6276)
