***********************************************
This statement of competency by J. T. Butts was made to G. B. Ellard at his home in Kilgore, Texas, on March 24, 1933. Colonel Daniel's son found it among papers he was working on for a Dallas oil company, and thought his father would enjoy reading it. Colonel Daniel shares it with ETGS readers because it tells such a moving story of early settlers in East Texas, made at the height of the great East Texas oil boom.
"I am 86 years old. I was born in Hancock County, Georgia, on February 8, 1847. My father's name was George Washington Butts and my mother's name was Charlotte Butts.
On Christmas Eve day 1859 my father and mother arrived at what is now known as the Danville settlement about 3 and 1/2 miles north-east of Kilgore. Calvin Brown and a sister of mine by the name of Lizzie and myself accompanied my father on this trip from Georgia to Texas. There were about five white families that joined my father on this trip and it took eight weeks for us to come thru from Georgia. All those families settled in and around what is now known as Kilgore.
The Bass, Wilcoxon, McGilvary, and Edmund Butts family were the other white families that came thru in the wagon train with my father.
My father brought several negro slaves with him to Texas. The Indians had just moved out of this part of Texas when we came here.
Shreveport is where we carried our cotton to market and did our trading. This was a timber country then and there was very little open land without timber. Plenty of deer, squirrels, wild turkey and other kinds of game.
Calvin Brown's father and mother were light-colored negroes, and what we would call mulatto negroes. My father raised Calvin Brown's mother and at the time Calvin Brown was born, his father and mother were both slaves belonging to my father. My father told me that Calvin Brown was about two years than I was. All the white folks and negroes that came from Georgia with my father are now dead except Calvin Brown and myself, so far as I know.
My father and Mr. Bass sent a Mr. Morand and some negroes to Texas in 1858 and rented a farm the first year, known as the Pegues place. After the negroes were freed, Calvin's father and mother took the name of Brown and nived [moved?] out and started farming for themselves. Calvin's father was named Juber Brown and his mother, Mary Brown.
I have not seen Calvin Brown very much for the past year, but before that I saw him quite often; on second thought, I have not seen Calvin since the oil boom started. Calvin Brown has always been a hard-working negro and was about the only farmer in this country, white or black, that raised most everything that he needed at home. Calvin used to barbecue a shoat and bring it in to Kilgore and sell it around and it was fine eating. So far as I know, Calvin Brown has always talked like a sensible person and has never acted to me like a man of unsound mind.
I have lived in this community ever since I arrived here in 1859 and have known Calvin Brown all of my life. In my opinion Calvin Brown has always been of sound mind and I have never noticed anything about him from his acts or conversations that would indicate to me that he was of unsound mind. Calvin has never talked to me about his sales of Oil Leases or Minerals

MR. AND MRS. HARPER TUCKER Back in the days before the Civil War, When Georgia was hardly known, Shadrach BIVINS and his wife, Mildred WARD, came to this great State of today and settled in Midway, Ga. This couple were among the first settlers in what is known as BALDWIN COUNTY, coming South from Maryland. Besides raising several sons, Mr. and Mrs. BIVINS had only on daughter, Mary (BIVINS). When very young, Miss BIVINS, who was a woman of fine mental capacity, and was considered somewhat of a beauty, married Mr. HARPER TUCKER. Mr. Tucker was the son of ROBERT and Annie REESE TUCKER, of WASHINGTON COUNTY. When only forty years of age, Mr. TUCKER died, leaving his wife and ten children...Joseph TUCKER, the youngest of the boys, joined the Confederate forces at the age of sixteen, and served until the close of the war. Mrs. TUCKER died in Sandersville, Georgia, at the mellow age of seventy-three, in the year 1878. (From: Part V HISTORY of BALDWIN COUNTY GEORGIA BY MRS. ANNA MARIA GREEN COOK ILLUSTRATED ANDERSON. S.

In 1870, two RAIFORD teenagers in the household of William and Amanda ATKINSON in DeSoto County do not appear to be from J. M.'s family. "I looked P.

On July 4, 1635, he sailed from London on the Transport, and the record of his passage states he was 20 years old and a member of the Church of the England (Hotten: The Original List of Persons of Quality, etc 1600-1700, page 101). The Virginia colony was now 28 years old, had about 8000 inhabitants, and was well established. At this time, the Virginia tobacco was bringing high prices on the European market, so that the planners made it their principal crop.
William Cook settled in Isle of Wright County, where he owned lands on the Blackwater river, and married (probably about the year 1638) Mary (Miles?). If we make an effort to visualize the life of William and Mary Cook on their tobacco plantation during this period, a picture of the Virginia of 1642 given by one historian (Roy V. Coleman: The New Frontier, p 275-277) may be of interest:
The wives and daughters of the well-to-do planters wore dresses of silk and satin, trimmed with lace imported from England in the latest London styles. Food was abundant and in great variety. Beef, pork and mutton were at hand from the plantation stock. Venison called only for a gun. Wild geese, ducks and turkeys crowded of the swamp land. The rivers were full of fish of many kinds. Sugar, spices and other delicacies came in with every ship, as did also wines, brandy and rum.
For having paid the passage of 22 persons from England to the Virginia colony, William Cook, Sr., received (jointly with William Miles) a patent of 1100 acres of land on the second branch of the Blackwater river at the upper quarter of John Oliver's land and running down to Mr. England's. The patent was granted on September 29, 1664, during the reign of Charles II (Virginia Land Office Patents Book 5 p. 460)
On April 10, 1665, a part of this land was presented by a deed of gift, by William and Mary Cook, (jointly with William Miles) to John Person Jr., at that time about five years old. The stipulation was made that the property was to remain in the possession of John Person, Jr., parents, John Person the elder and his wife Frances, "until ye said John Person, theire sonne be of full age". The land was on Blackwater River adjoining that of John Oliver.(Isle of Wright County Will & Deed Book 1, p 41-42)
On June 17, 1667, William Cook, Sr., secured 850 additional acres of land by purchasing the rights of four persons who had paid the passage of 17 colonists. (Ibid. p 113)
On November 6, 1667, William Lyles conveyed 450 acres of land to William Cook. (Ibid. p.177)
On May 26, 1668, William Cook gave power of attorney to his wife, Mary, against Thomas Ward, "whom I have arrested in action of debt". (Ibid. p. 21)
On August 9, 1669, William Cook and Mary, his wife, sold to Thomas Carter, Jr., 400 acres of their land in Isle of Wright, "it being the land that I the said Cook and Mary my wife lately lived upon before our removal into Surrey County" (Ibid p185-186).
On October 9, 1670, William Cook received another patent, this time for 800 acres on the Blackwater River, adjoining the land of Captain Baker, for having paid the passage of 16 persons from England to Virginia. (Virginia land Office Patents book 6, p 497)
For 16 years preceding Bacon's rebellion in 1676, the colonial government was guilty of a number of abuses. One of the most serious of these however, was its failure to protect the colonists from Indian raids or even to prevent them to retaliate by making expeditions against the Indians. Some of those who live along the frontier were particularly vulnerable. Some few of the planters (including it is believed the governor himself) were carrying on a profitable business with the Indians and feared that any expeditions against them would put an end to their trading. Among the principal articles of exchange offered by these individuals were firearms, and these were, of course, used in turn by the Indians against the colonists.
Finally, indignation reached such a point that armed rebellion arose under the colorful leadership of the Francis Bacon, and the governor, Sir William Berkeley, fled to the Eastern Shore. Bacon's initial success was tremendous, and he marched upon the capital city of Jamestown, which he burned. However, his rebellion was suppressed, despite the fact that many of the colonists were sympathetic with his cause. When the governor regained control, he did dealt ruthlessly with the followers of Bacon, and executed a number of them. Although Charles II officially had to support the position of a royal governor in the face of armed rebellion, privately he condemned Berkeley's judgment.
During the height of the rebellion, The Young Prince, one of the Kings ships, was anchored in Waryascoat Bay, and its commander, Robert Morris, kept a journal, which reveals significant and frequent dramatic events in Isle of Wright. He mentions among the rebels, William West, who headed a force march to surprise a fort (Robert Mossis Journal Jan 15, 1677) . The latter was captured on January 16, 1677, but managed to escape.
William Cooke was one of a number of residents of Isle of Wright, who supported Bacon's cause and petitioned the Commissioners for West's release. The petition, dated October, 1677, is as follows:
Petition of His Majesties most loyal and obedient subjects of Isle of Wright. To His Majesties Commissioners, in behalf of William West, a rebel absconding, who took up arms against the Indians by whom his father had been most barbarous murdered, was taken prisoner and carried aboard a ship, from hence to prison and was condemned to death, but he had has made his escape and as yet has not been found. We pray for his life and the restitution of his estate to his wife and children.
Children of William Cook and Mary (Miles?) are:

From this except of the administration of the estate of Thomas BLACKMON in Wilcox County, Alabama, it is believed that this John Washington BLACKMON was the son of Thomas and sister of Mary who married S. G. GRAYSON:
"1. Received of J. E. Gullette and B. F. Blackmon Administrators of the estate of Thomas Blackmon, deceased, one negro man named Adam valued at one thousand dollars, it being my share of the personal property of said estate of Thomas Blackmon upon final settlement and division. January 9, 1851 Signed J. W. Blackmon" (http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/al/wilcox/wills/tblackmon.txt?o_xid=9872&o_lid=9872&o_xt=9872)
The Texas Scholastic Census, 1854 to 1855 Freestone County, Texas Enumeration of the Free White Population Between the Ages of Six and Sixteen Years in Freestone County A.D. 1855 lists the children in John W. BLACKMON's home: Thomas BLACKMON, John GOODWIN, and Jesse GOODWIN. (http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/freestone/census/sch1855.txt)

"In Memory of Mrs. Mary D. Blackmon. Mrs. Mary D. BLACKMON was born on the 10th day of July, 1822, in the village of Edgefield, Edgefield District, South Carolina. She died at the home of her son, Thomas G. BLACKMON, at Teague, Texas, on the 15th day of December, 1910; thus being 88 years, 5 months, and 5 days old. Her maiden name was Mary D. HATCHER. On the 4th day of Decmber, 1845, she was united in marriage to John W. BLACKMON. She and her husband came to Texas from Wilcox County (Alabama) in 1848. Her husband died in the war between the States. To this union only one child was born, the said son, T. G. BLACKMON. Mrs. BLACKMON was a member of the Baptist Church, having joined the same at the age of 18. The deceased belonged to that type of whom so much has been written - she was part of that Southland which lives in history, in tradition, in song and story. With her, grace and hospitality and courtesy were natural. Whether friend or stranger, to be at her home was to be wher you at once realized you had a welcome. A glorious rest to this mother of the South. Her life was a most excellent example to others. Nearly half a century ago her husband said good-bye, and she knew that no tidings would come to tell of the long, long journey he was on; war spread far and wide over her country and the "death angel spread his wings on the blast;" the darker days of reconstruction followed, but with unfailing love, with unfaltering faith, and with undiminished hope, she kept on toward that city whose builder and maker is God. What a life, and what an example - nearly a century did her pilgrimage last. She had seen trouble, and was not unaquainted with sorrow, but as the years grew old, the eyes of faith grew stronger; and when the summons came, the smiles of love and hope were still bright as in the far away morning of youth. Thank God for such an example as this. More than 70 years in the service of the Lord; more than three score years and ten, scattering faith and charity and mercy and kindness and love to brighten the lives of those who are tottering through this storm-troubled world of ours. Sweet be her rest, sweet and lasting be the smiles that she gathers from the Paradise of God; and unfailing peace and boundless joy, as true as the promises of God, and as boundless as His own eternity, may they be her portion over there. A FRIEND. (This obituary, received from Lynn Rice, was transcribed by Robert Louis Daniell from a copy of a newspaper clipping that did not name the paper and is undated.) 2852

CONTROVERSY: A researcher has proposed that this Martha BLACKMON, born 1848, is the Martha C. who married John T. DANIEL in 1861 and was the mother of John G. DANIEL, born abt 1863. There is a marriage record in Freestone County that clearly shows John's wife as Martha C. GRAYSON, who was born abt 1843. Censuses conifrm her age in her father's household in 1850 and 1860. John T. died in 1863. Martha BLACKMON's marriage to W. M. GRIFFITH was in 1867 in Wilcox County, Alabama. Although the chronology of events is possible, Martha BLACKMON, daughter of William M. BLACKMON was 12, living with her family in Wilcox County in 1860. She married W. M. GRIFFITH on 19 December 1867, just before her 20th birthday. These comparisons do not make this proposal likely. Contributing to the proposal is the Griffith family's migration to Freestone County, Texas between 1870 and 1880 joining their various families who originally migrated there between 1850 and 1860. Curious to this discussion is Martha C. GRAYSON and Martha BLACKMON are first cousins.

Excerpt from the biography of Thomas B. Grayson, http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/freestone/bios/tgrayson.txt:
"T. B. GRAYSON, M. D., the second oldest practicing physician in Freestone County, was born in Wilcox County, Alabama, the son of Dr. S. G. and CAROLINE (BLACKMON) GRAYSON, natives of South Carolina and Kentucky, respectively, who married in Alabama. Dr. S. G. GRAYSON was a graduate of the medical school in Kentucky, and began to practice medicine when the state was still a Territory and Indians more numerous than the white men. He retired from the practice of medicine many years previous to his death - the latter occurring in this state. He came here in 1853 from Alabama, and died in this county in 1871. During his long life he was also engaged in farming, but took little interest in political matters, beyond voting for the Democratic candiates. The Grayson family had came to America from Scotland, before the Revolutionary War, settling in Virginia, later moving to Kentucky, where Dr. S. G. Grayson was born, in the same county as were Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. Dr. Grayson and his wife were the parents of ten children, seven of whom grew to maturity: WILLIAM, deceased, was an attorney at Fairfield, and served as Judge of this county; Dr. T. B., our subject; ELIZABETH, deceased; HARRIET, wife of WILLIAM CLEVELAND; MARY, decased, wife of Judge L. D. BRADLEY of the Thirteenth District, and was Judge at the time of his death; VIRGINIA, deceased; CAROLINA, her twin sister, married D.C. WEATHERFORD; CHARLES, of Leon County; ROBERT, of Leon County, and ALICE, deceased, wife of JUDGE O. C. KIRVEN. Mrs. Grayson died in 1862, greatly lamented by all."

Obituary: Charles August CARLSTROM
IN MEMORY
Charles August CARLSTROM
Charles August CARLSTROM was born in Sodermanland, Vingoker County, Sweden March 28, 1869 and passed away Jan. 6, 1958 at the age of 88 years, 9 months and 8 days.
He was the son of Carl and Sophia CARLSON. He had two sisters, Helma who died in Sweden, and Lillie (Mrs. Ray NEWMAN) who died in Kansas City many years ago.
He came to the United States in 1888 when he was near 20 years old. He was converted early in life and was a member of the Hermitage Baptist church at his passing.
He worked in Kansas City several years, then came to Hickory County to make his home. He was married to Matilda BERGSTROM in May 1895. She preceded him in death Nov. 25, 1927. To this union were born seven children. Lawrence of Denton, Mont.; Harold, who died in Feb., 1956; Maurits of Wheatland, Mo.; Edward of San Bernardino, Calif.; Ingrid, who died in Oct. 1924; Ethel (Mrs. A. W. MATSON) and Myrtle (Mrs. Hartley LAWSON) both of Kansas City, Mo. He leaves 20 grandchildren and one nephew, who resides in Sweden. He lived in Kansas City a number of years after the death of his wife. He was married to Genevra [sic, Ginevria] BLACKWELL in Sept. 1932, and came again to Hickory county to make his home. Genevra passed away in January 1951. From that time his great desire has been to join his dear loved ones in Heaven.
He was a kind, loving husband and father, a good neighbor and friend to all. His jovial personality endeared him to all who knew him.
God in His wisdom has recalled.
The boon His love has given;
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in Heaven.

General Notes: Husband -
Thomas H. Dawson, Green J. Dozier, and John W. Dozier witnessed the 12 October 1839 Will of Patrick Dougherty in Columbia County, Georgia. The Will was recorded 2 May 1843.
1840 U.S. Census, Georgia, Columbia County, District 5:
Thomas H. Dawson 1 male under 5 (George William); 1 male 5-10 (Hugh Blair); 1 male 30-40 (Thomas Henry); 1 female 5-10 (Mary Elizabeth); 2 females, 20-30 (Ann Blair and unknown);and four slaves. Ann died 23 Jun 1842. [http://southernfamilymergers.com/mcdaniel/p5.htm#i158]
Dr. Thomas H. DAWSON married Martha A. HARDWICK on 26 July 1843 in Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia.[http://www.txgenweb6.org/txnavarro/biographies/d/dawson.htm]
From the censuses, it appears that Thomas and Martha had a son Henry H., born abt 1844, and a daughter "Julia C.", born about 1847. Martha died 20 December 1847. In 1850, Thomas and his new bride,, Anna M. SNIDER, are in Russell County, Alabama, but Henry H.DAWSON, age 5, and Julia C., age 3, resides with their Aunt Julia C. HARDWICK and her husband, Thomas W. MILLER, in Richmond County, Georgia. Martha may have died giving birth to Julia or soon thereafter and her sister is caring for the youngsters.

"Elizabeth [Mitchell] Blake, from Mississippi, allegedly dropped dead at the grave of her son when viewing his burial site for the first time."
Elizabeth was buried by her son in the little cemetery across the road from the Baptist church in Glennville, Alabama.

at the loss of her son
Sept. 28, 1841.

Richland Eq. Roll 267-290 Filed 3 Feb 1827 records John Haig BLAKE w Elizabeth Howell BLAKE formerly GOODWYN and Elizabeth D. HOWELL -- heirs of Malachi HOWELL as parties to a suit against the estate of John HOWELL, including his mother: Grace HOWELL; bros and sisters: Mary, w/o John A. REESE, Elizabeth w/o Timothy REESE, Sally REESE, Martha w/o Jesse M. HOWELL.
Will abstract, Will Book K, Richland County, South Carolina: "Page 132. Eliza H. BLAKE. Will, May 17, 1832 (codicil August 9, 1833)-November 8, 1836. Wit.: A. P. CALHOUN, G. GREGG, James L. CLARK. Ex.: Husband and J. J. CHAPPELL. Husband: John Haig BLAKE (died before codicil). Aunt: Eliza D. HOWELL. Brother-in-law: John J. CHAPPELL." (Green's "History of Richland County", p. 132)
Considering that Eliza Howell Goodwyn BLAKE was an adopted daughter of Malachi HOWELL, this raises some interesting questions because Eliza H. BLAKE names Eliza D. HOWELL as an aunt. Is this the Eliza D. who ws Malachi's wife, or another? If John J. CHAPPELL was Eliza H.'s brother-in-law, who was Eliza's sister who married John J.?

General Notes: Husband -
Abel married Mary O'DANIEL on 17 March 1795 in Georgetown, District of Columbia. Mary was the daughter of John O'DANIEL [Jr.] and Anne CLARKE and was a granddaughter of John O'DANIEL of Fairfax County, Virginia. In her grandfather's Will of 1798, she is named as Mary BRAKLEY.
Able BLAKENEY was a carpenter. Among accts paid from Mary's grandfather's estate is: "Paid BLAKENEY for coffin... 7 pds 10 shillings." Abel Blakeney made two purchases at John O'DANIEL's estate sale, Stillyards for 6 shillings and "5 Bls of corn" for 3 pounds 17 shillings, 6 pence.
In a singular honor in December 1799, Abel BLAKENEY, Mason, was chosen to build the coffin for George WASHINGTON, his fellow Mason. A short biography of Albert BLAKENEY in Genealogy and Biography of the Leading Families of Baltimore County, Maryland contains this comment: "The grandfather of the subject of this sketch was Abel BLAKENEY, a mechanic, who made the coffin in which General WASHINGTON was buried."
The 1808 Census of Inhabitants of the Third Ward of Alexandria County, Virginia, page 20A, lists: "Abel Blakeney Carpenter Geo. Simms, 2 7" Able and George are the 2 white males above 16. Seven other white persons are with them, ostensibly, Abel's wife Mary and their six children born before 1808. Listed next to Abel is "Geo. Deneale C.C.D. Alexa. Hugh Deneale, 2 7."
