Solomon Yoakum, born 1773 in Virginia
This page was updated on Sunday, February 11, 2001

All those researching the Solomon Yoakum line realize that the biggest problem we face is trying to determine which Solomon is which? How many wives did old Solomon have, and how many children? One of Solomon's wives was named Mary; his son's wife apparently was also named Mary. Did he actually have a son born in 1803, or was it 1797 as many believe? Did old Solomon take care of his son's family, or was it his own young wife and family (that old dog!)?

Below are listed some interesting documents relating to this problem.

COMMENTS

This census record has often been mis-read, citing Solomon Yoakum Sr to be 47 years old, thus born in 1803. Microfilm of the original census record shows clearly that his age was 77, and that the "Sr" protrudes slightly into the age column, leading to this error. The most notable example of this error is reflected in Connor's "Peters Colony" book, discussed below. This raises the question whether or not there actually was a Solomon Yokum of this family born in 1803?

There have been two interpretations of this census record (and Solomon's history in general). First, that Mary (b. ca 1800) is Solomon's daughter-in-law, and the children listed are, for the most part, his grandchildren by his son Solomon (b. 1803?). The whereabouts of Solomon b. 1803 was not known, but some believe he was in the gold fields of the west. The second interpretation is that Mary b. ca 1800 is perhaps Mary Starnater, the old Solomon's young third wife, and that the children listed are his own, not his grandchildren. If this is the case, it would indicate that while a very old Solomon was still very good at producing children, he wasn't so good at producing names. Several of these children bear the same names as his children by his first wife Susannah Adams!

Though Solomon (age 77) and Solomon (age 25) are listed as "Sr" and "Jr", what is their true relationship?

Throughout this census, the "Value of Real Estate" column usually lists figures such as 160 or 320. These are equal to even fractions of land sections (each section contains 640 acres). My assumption is that land was given the nominal value of $1 per acre, and that this figure probably indicates the number of acres owned. Compare this with land records discussed below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 2

County Court of Denton County, Texas

"THIS INDENTURE made and Entered into on this 4th day of March A.D. 1854 by and between Mary Yocham widow of Solomon Yocham Deceased, late of the County of Denton and State of Texas, of the first part, and William W. Martin of said County of the Second Part, Witnesseth, That Whereas, the said Mary Yocham after the decease of her husband did apply to the Hon County Court of Denton County Texas, from which Letters of Adm. issued on the estate of her said husband deceased for an amount sufficient for the support of herself and 2 minor children and also for an amount in lieu of the property exempt from execution and forced sale by the constitution and laws of the state of Texas, Whereupon a Decree was passed by said court Granting to the said party 160 acres of land together with other property in lieu of said allowances said decree being made at the June Term A.D. 1852 of said court. Be it known...that I Mary Yocham...have on the date above written for and in consideration of the sum of Five Hundred Dollars to me in hand paid by [William W. Martin]...do grant, bargain, sell...unto said William Martin...a certain tract or parcel of land containing 160 acres being part of of head right of my Deceased husband Solomon Yocham, situated on Clear Creek a tributary of Elm Fork of Trinity River and in Denton County...beginning at the S.W. corner of a 40 acre survey made for Nancy Coker, thence West 950 varas a stake in prairie, thence north 950 varas stake in prairie, thence East 950 varas the N. W. corner of said Nancy Coker survey, thence north to the place of beginning..."

Two months later the following is recorded:

"THIS INDENTURE made and entered into on this 8th day of May A.D. 1854 by and between William Martin and Nancy Martin, his wife (alias Nancy Coker) of the County of Denton and State of Texas, of the first part, and Solomon Yocham Junr. of said County and State of the Second part, Witnesseth That Whereas the said party of the first part for and in consideration of the sum of One Hundred and sixty dollars to them paid, by the said party of the second part...do sell [etc] a certain tract or parcel of Land containing three hundred and twenty acres situated on Clear Creek a tributary of Elm Fork of Trinity in Denton County...described as follows, to wit Beginning at the N.E. corner of a survey made for Solomon Yocham Senr. Thence East one mile, thence south one half mile, thence west on mile to the south east corner of said survey made for Solomon Yocham Senr. Thence North to the place of beginning, Said land being located by virtue of the Colony Headright of Nancy Coker Now Nancy Martin, as a Colonist of Peters Colony."

COMMENTS

Solomon died shortly before 1852, leaving his wife Mary. Which Solomon? Presumably Solomon Sr. It would appear from this that the second interpretation of the census above is correct. Note also that William Martin and his wife, Nancy (Coker) sold land (some of the same land?) to Solomon Jr., presumably the Solomon Jr. from the above census (born 1825).

Nancy is actually a Yoakum/Yocham, having previously married a Coker before marrying William Martin. Which Solomon is her father?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 3

Note about Texas land records from Jo Ann Hatch:

"Yes, I did order the Texas Land Office records. Unfortunately all the document said was "heirs of Solomon Yoakum, Sr., decd" with no further identification. It is dated 1856 and grants them 160 acres in Denton County, as said Solomon was a settler in Peter's Colony. Another document dated 4 Nov, 1850 is Solomon Yoacham, Sr. claiming 640 acres of land as a settler in the Peter's Colony. It states that Solomon emigrated to Texas prior to July 1848 with his wife and children. I feel that somewhere there must be other records that identify these heirs by name. I fear it may be in the burned records of Denton County, but I am trying other places also.

Yes, there certainly is a mix-up on the Solomons. Too many."

COMMENTS

See Item 4.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 4

Before moving to Texas, Solomon (b. 1773) lived in Missouri. Apparently some of his children remained in the state after Solomon moved to Texas.

In my efforts to determine the father of Jacob Yokum (b. 1802) of Dade County, Missouri (shown by H. C. Smith as George Yoakum b. 1763), Audrey Becker sent me the following gem:

Dade County, Missouri Recorder's Office Files, Vol. 3 pg. 322
"This Deed of Trust made and entered into this second day of April A.D. 1851 by and between John Yoakum party of the first part and Eveline Yoakum, wife of Jacob Yoakum, party of the second part, and Sarah Jane Yoakum, Lydia Elizabeth Yoakum, America Yoakum, and Jacob Yoakum Jr. all son and daughters of Jacob and Eveline Yoakum of Dade Co. State of Missouri. Witness that the party of the first part for and in consideration of one dollar in hand paid...and for the further consideration of natural affection for my brother Jacob's children, do grant, bargain and sell unto said party of the second part and to her heirs and assigns...[personal property, mostly horses, to the children]...Also do give, grant, bargain and sell to said party of the second part [Eveline] all my right, title, claim, interest and demand(?) to a certain tract of land in the State of Texas, which I bought of my father's estate amounting to 6 shares of said estate out of 12, to have and to hold..." [following is express language establishing Eveline as the trustee for the property given to the children].

COMMENTS

This document confirmed my suspicion that John (b. 1808) was Jacob's (b. 1802) brother, and further that their father was NOT George Yoakum as stated by H. C. Smith. There is no evidence that George Yoakum ever went to Texas. Of the four Yoakum/Yokum heads of families listed in the 1850 Federal Census of Texas (A.S. Yoakum, Samuel Yoakum, Henderson Yokum, and Solomon Yokum) only Solomon is a reasonable candidate to be father of Jacob and John.

Note that this was not a will, but a transfer of property to his brother's family just prior to his (John's) moving with his own family to Oregon (1852).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 5

Biographical sketches of settlers in the Peters Colony (from S. V. Connor's The Peters Colony of Texas, published in 1959):

"John Yoacham settled in the colony as a single man before July 1, 1848. He was issued a certificate for 320 acres by Ward in 1850. The certificate was sold unlocated and was later patented in Denton County (Fannin third Class No. 1542). He is listed on the 1850 census (Denton County, family No. 10) [see above] as a 24 year-old farmer, born in Missouri. He was illiterate.

"Michael Yoacham came to the colony as a widower with one child prior to July 1, 1848, but died before 1850. His father, Solomon Yoacham, was issued a certificate by Ward in 1850, and his heirs patented 640 acres in Denton County (Fannin Third Class No. 1541).

"Solomon Yoacham, Jr., moved to the colony as a single man before July 1, 1848. He reported to Ward in 1850 and was issued a certificate for 320 acres, which he patented in Denton County (Fannin Third Class No. 1540). He is listed on the 1850 census (Denton County, family No. 10) as a 25 year-old farmer, born in Missouri. He was illiterate.

"Solomon Yoacham, Sr., migrated to the colony as a family man prior to July 1, 1848, and settled on a company survey in present Denton County. He was issued a certificate by Ward in 1850 and his heirs later patented 640 acres in Denton County (Fannin Third Class No. 1539). He is listed on the 1850 census (Denton County, family No. 10) as a 47 year-old farmer, born in Virginia, with eight children. Apparently he moved to Texas from Missouri."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMMENTS

The citation of the census record in the entry for Solomon Yoacham Sr. is in error. The census actually shows Solomon to be 77 years of age. Is this the source for the supposed birth date for Solomon's son Solomon (1803)? The designation "Sr" and "Jr" do not always denote a father/son relationship. Often it was used simply to distinguish older and younger people of the same name. Which is the case here?

It seems more likely that Solomon Sr.'s son Solomon was born, as reported by some researchers, in about 1796 in Tennessee rather than in 1803 in Virginia (note: Solomon was in Tennessee by at least 1793.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 5

From court papers of Stone County, Missouri:

"November term of the Stone County Court AD 1851
Ordered by the court that the clerk of the Stone county court make application to the clerk of the Taney County court [Mo] for all the papers and proceedings relative to the administration of the Estate of Solomon Yochum, late of the county of Stone, deceased."

"[copy unreadable] 1852
Ordered by the court that all the papers belonging to the Estate of Solomon Yochum Dec in Taney Co be delivered to the clerk of Stone count court. Thomas Patterson administrator."

COMMENTS

Several questions about this. Which Solomon is this referring to? Did Solomon Sr. return to Taney County after settling in the Peters Colony of Texas? Is this his son Solomon (b. 1796 or 1803?) who died about the same time, whereabouts previously unknown? Does this record necessarily mean that this Solomon died in Missouri, or just had property there to settle???

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...... 2 Nancy Yoachum b: 1821

LESS CONVENTIONAL VIEW

Another version of this line, found in an FHC Ancestral File, lists the same marriage to Susannah Adams and children from that union, but lists Solomon's second wife as "(Indian) Yoakum, b. 1777 in Virginia" and lists children as:
...Peninah Yoakum b. 1817 Va
...Mary Yoakum b. 1819 Va
...Michael Yoakum b. 1821 Va

And it lists Mary "Polly" Starnader, b. 1800 as his third wife with the following children:
...Nancy Yoakum b. 1821 Mo
...Solomon Yoakum b. 1825 Mo
...John Yoakum b. 1826 Mo
...Mary Yoakum b. 1827 Mo
...Francis Yoakum b. 1830 Mo
...Elizabeth Yoakum b. 1831 Mo
...Rachel Yoakum b. 1832 Mo
...Anna Yoakum b. 1836 Mo
...Susanna Yoakum b. 1837

COMMENTS

While the latter version is possible, 64 is pretty old to be having kids. And there's still that problem of re-using several children's names...which is also possible. Notice that the conventional view attributes old Solomon's (supposed) children by Mary Starnader to his son Solomon and his wife Mary "Polly" Gentry instead...an intuitively more acceptable view.

But then there is the 1840 census of Taney County, Missouri, which lists the following family:
YOKAM, SOLOMON 0021000001-3022001
(Solomon age 70-80; two males age 10-15; one male age 15-20; female age 40-50; three females under 5; two females age 10-15; two females age 15-20.)

This is remarkably similar to the old Solomon Yoakum and Mary Starnater family above, and also to the one listed in the 1850 Denton County Texas census. It shows an old (age 70-80) Solomon with a young "wife" and "children" about the right age for that family...but remember that the 1840 census names only the head of family, and no relationships are given. Old Solomon's son Solomon (b. 1797?) would be only 47 in 1840, so the head of family listed is definitely not him. It could be (again) that Old Solomon is taking care of his son's family while he is gone (as is suggested for the 1850 Denton County Texas census). Has anyone found a census record for young (b. ca 1797) Solomon Yoakum with a family matching this one? Anywhere, any time?

[Yes. 1840, Washington County, Arkansas. See Item 9 below. I have no proof that this Arkansas Solomon (b. 1790-1800 according to census) is the son of old Solomon. However, if he is, then the children listed with the old Solomon in Taney County, Missouri in 1840 are apparently NOT his grandchildren by his son Solomon. Very circumstantial.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 7 (September 3, 1998)

Notes on census records from JoAnn Hatch:

1860 San Saba Co., Texas, p.382
SOLOMON YOAKUM, age 28, farmer, real estate 960, personal estate 1002?, b.MO
.....POLLY YOAKUM, age 61, b. MO
.....JANE NOWLAND, age, 15, b. MO
.....SOLOMON NOWLAND, age 13, b.MO
.....ANNY YOAKUM, age 13, b. MO

1870 Kimble Co. Texas, p.153
SOLOMON YOAKUM, age 45, vagrant, b. MO (cannot read or write)
.....POLLY YOAKUM, age 80, b. MO (cannot read or write)

COMMENTS

The general ages of Solomon and "Polly" and the association with the Nowlands leaves little doubt that this is Solomon Jr. (b. ca 1825) and his mother Mary. Notice that the actual ages recorded from one census to the next do not precisely agree. See Item 8 below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 8 (September 3, 1998)

More notes on census records from JoAnn Hatch

1880 Benton County, Hico Township, Arkansas
Solomon Yoakum, White,Male, age 52, Single, Farmer, b. in Missouri, father born in N.C. and Mother born in Missouri.
Mary Yoakum, white, female, age 85, Mother, Widow, b. In Missouri, father born in Germany and Mother born in Pennslyvania.
Serena?Crawford, white,female, age 18, niece, single, b. in Texas, Mother born in Missouri and father born in Missouri.

COMMENTS

From JoAnn Hatch: The fact that Mary Yoakum would have been born in 1795 in Missouri and her father was born in Germany and mother in Pennslyvania, makes me think this is the Mary Starnader(sp?) that was listed as the wife of Solomon Yoakum in St. Genevive County, Mo in 1818. (Looks like Solomon did't know how old he was, and neither did Polly)

From Greg Brown: It does look like this could be Mary Starnater, and mother of Solomon Jr. (b. ca 1825). But still, who was her husband, Solomon b. 1773, or his son, Solomon b. ca 1797? Some accounts have Solomon (b. 1797) married to Mary Gentry (where are Mary Gentry's parents from?). So we are still left with the age-old question: Is Mary Starnater the young wife of old Solomon, or is she his daughter-in-law? This Mary's husband apparently died around 1850. Old Solomon died around 1850. But what became of Solomon b. ca 1797? Did he also die around 1850? If he can be located on a census or any other record after 1850, then it would appear that this Mary (Starnater?) was indeed old Solomon's wife.

From JoAnn Hatch, 10 September 1998: This won't help solve our Solomon problem, but I think it is interesting.
This is the Homestead Proof of the Solomon Yoakum of Benton County Arkansas. The document is dated 1878. The questions asked of him and his answers were:

What is your age? 64
When did you first establish a residence upon the land? In August 1872
Was your residence upon the land continuous? Yes, I lived on the land all the time since 1872 up to this time.
Did your family reside thereon? I had no other family except my mother who has lived with me all the time on the land.
What improvements have you made on the land? Dwelling house, stable, tobacco barn and about 20 acres fenced and in cultivation.
What is the total value of said improvements? $400.00
How much of the land have you broken and cultivated, and what crops, if any, have you raised? About 20 acres cultivated. Corn, wheat, oats and tobacco.

Solomon made his mark on this document on 28 October, 1878 in Benton Co.

[Obviously, this Solomon had a great deal of trouble determining his age. One gets the feeling that he did not really know his age, and just gave the number that came into his head. Other times, perhaps, officials just put down the age they believed him to be. I can't remember seeing such a wide variation in reported ages for anyone before!--Greg]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 9 (September 3, 1998)

Notes on census records from Audrey Becker:

1840 Washington County, Prairie Township, Arkansas
Solomon Yoakham 0221001-221001
(Solomon age 40-50; two males age 5-10; 2 males age 10-15. Wife (?) age 30-40; two females age under 5; two females age 5-10; one female age 10-15.)

COMMENTS

From Audrey: Who are these people? Solomon II (b. ca 1797) and his wife Mary and their family perhaps? Note that Solomon III (b. ca 1825) and his mother Mary were in Hico Township, Benton County, Arkansas in 1880. Prairie Township, Washington County, Arkansas, is just a few miles away. Maybe they (Solomon III and his mother) came back to their old stomping grounds.

From Greg: Old Solomon would have been 67 at the time of the 1840 census, so this is apparently not him. The age is right for Old Solomon's son (about 43) and for Mary Starnater or Mary Gentry (about 40). (See also 1840 Taney County Missouri census in comments under Item #6)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITEM 10 (September 3, 1998)

Notes on census records from Charles Williams:

1860 Stone County, Cass Township, Missouri
Solomon Yocham, age 22, b. Missouri
.....Mary S. Yocham, age 26, b. Arkansas
.....Agustus Yocham, age 8, b. Missouri
.....George W. Yocham, age 6, b. Missouri
.....Sarah V. Yocham, age 3, b. Missouri
.....Jacob W. Yocham, age 1, b. Iowa
.....John Jefferson, age 25, b. Kentucky (farm hand)

COMMENTS

There's a pretty good chance that this Solomon is the son of George W. Yoakum and Alcey Friend, and thus a grandson of old Solomon and Susannah Adams (see Individual #541 in Bob Derryberry's compilation). Fortunately, due to his age, he isn't directly involved in the current question...which is fortunate because he, too, married a Mary!

From JoAnn Hatch, 10 September 1998:
Dorothy Carter has identified the 1860 Stone Co. Missouri Solomon as follows:
Solomon married Mary Jane Stallings May 22nd, 1849 in Boone Co., Ark. Mary Jane born 1825 and Solomon born 1827. Solomon's second wife was Lucy Mildred McCandles. Solomon was in the Mexican War. Solomon and Mary Jane are in 1850 Taney Co., MO., 1860 Stone Co., MO, 1870, Boone Co. Ark., By 1880 Solomon and Lucy Mildred were in Sumner Co. Kansas and 1900 they were in Christian Co. Missouri. In 1910 Solomon was living with his son, William Clyde Yocham in Logan Co., OKla. Solomon died Sept 4, 1910 while enroute to Ontario, Oregon. Mary Jane Stallings died Sept 4, 1875. Lucy Mildred McCandles and Solomon married October 30, 1876.

I think Dorothy has the right idea. Process of elimination may help.
[The ages seem to be off by about 10 years. Did I make a mistake in copying one of these JoAnn? Charles?---Greg]

ITEM 11 (June 20, 1999)

Comments submitted by Mike Sizer mikemizer@hotmail.com

I have just spent some time going through your Yoakum website. You questioned the source for the parentage of Priscilla Yoakum who married Frederick Mayberry. It seems one source has Jesse Yoakum born about 1738 son of Matthias Yoakum as the father of Priscilla. I strongly disgree. I am the sole source of her father being Michael Yoakum born abt. 1740 (brother of Jesse). I came to this conclusion about seven years ago. I have also submitted to the LDS Ancestral file. I also believe that the mystery of Solomon Yoakum can be found with Michael Yoakum. There is strong evidence that Priscilla and Solomon Yoakum were siblings [and children] of MICHAEL YOAKUM. I also believe that he had other children namely Agnes and Jacob.

First, we know that Michael Yoakum was born about 1740. He married in Bedford Co., Va. in 1762 to Ann Boyles the daughter of Alexander Boyles. He lived in Bedford County, Va. from 1762 until about 1784. His name appears in Bedford county records to prove this. Please note Michael Yoakum history in H. C. Smith's book pages 529-530. On Feb. 9, 1773 he sold a parcel of land. In 1774 he signed a petition to the House of Burgesses for the establishment of a Presbyterian Church at the Peak of Otter. In 1774 He was ordered to pay his wife three pounds a month for her subsistence. The case was dismissed in 1784 or 1785. On Feb. 7, 1775 Charles McGlothlin of Bedford County conveyed to Michael Yoakum of same County 55 shillings for a parcel of land lying on the banks of the Little Otter. On Nov. 14, 1777 he is listed as a witness to the will of John Downing of Bedford County. A daughter of John Downing is listed as Mary Downing. In Sep. 1779 Michael Yoakum deed to Lawrence McGuire of Bedford County for the sum of 500 pounds, 80 acres on the north branch of the Otter River. According to Smith he states" The last record we have of this Michael Yoakum is on the 5 of October 1785 when he deeds to Thomas Wood of Bedford County ...At this time Michael has moved to Green county, North Carolina. Of him we find in Bedford County no further trace.

Let us now jump to Greene County, Tennessee. At the time this was considered North Carolina territory. A note to remember. Michael Yoakums daughter Priscilla was born in 1773. She married Frederick Mayberry around 1790. The Mayberry's also came from the Peaks of Otter in Bedford County, Va. In Greene County court minutes from November 1784 " The last Will and Testamnet of JAMES DELANY was duly proven by the oaths of ANNE YOKUM and MARY MOHONEY and the same is ord to be recorded. Ord that letters Testamontory be granted to ELIZABETH DELANY & JACOB SMELCHER on the estate of JAMES DELANY decd. Deposited forty shillings. Then in May of 1788 the marriage of JACOB SMELCER and Agnes YOCUM in Greene County, Tenn. (The only Yocum marriage listed in the county).

In 1791 minutes of the Court of Common pleas 1783-1795 of Greene county we find...from JOHN KNAVES to JAMES_____ on French Broad River and JOHN KEENEY, JONATHAN WOOD, JAMES NETHERTON, MICHAEL YORAM, FREDERICK MAYBERRY, GEORGE MAYBERRY, HENRY KNAVE, JOHN, KNAVE, JAMES FARMER, CHARLES ATKINS, ROBERT MILLER, AND JOHN MCLEHNNAHN view and mark the same and report next court. Please note the spelling of Michael Yoakum should have been YOKAM. He is listed next to FREDERICK MAYBERRY! Frederick Mayberry and Priscilla were married around 1790-91. NO other Yoakum's are listed in Greene county at the time. I find NO Jesse Yoakum. Now if Frederick Mayberrry and Priscilla were married around this time were is JESSE YOAKUM?

We know now that Michael Yoakum and his wife Ann were in Greene County (NC), Tennessee from about 1784-5 to 1791. No further Yoakum records can be found in Greene county after 1791. So were did he go?

Let us now jump to Jefferson County, Tenn. Which was just formed from parts of Greene County and ten miles to the west from Greene county. He may not have even moved but the county was formed out of Greene county.

1880: haven't found him on this census. On 1880 census the "married" box is checked for Rebecca but she and her daughters lived with her father, not Robert (Coryell, ED26, Sh31, Ln49, June 1880). Her father was Charles F. Karnes, born Virginia. His wife was Mary A., and there was a son George N., b. Texas and 11 years younger than Rebecca.

1900: haven't found him on this census.
Robert M. Carter "disappears" in the 1870s. Have found no notice of his death. No one claimed his Civil War pension. Rebecca is not living with him on the 1880 census, but it does say she is married, not widowed or divorced. Did he die or did they divorce? His wife and three of their daughters, in about the late 1880s, joined a commune called the Sanctified Sisters in Belton and moved to Wash. D.C. with them. They remained there the rest of their lives.

There is an R.M. Carter who married a Mattie M. Harris 1881 McLennan County. Have found no further information. Do not know who that is.

Find A Grave
I am uncertain that the Robert Carter** buried at Holy Cross is actually the Robert M. Carter described below. Holy Cross is a Catholic Cemetery; but the Robert M. Carter described below was not Catholic, and his wife Rebecca Karnes was not Catholic. Also, the obituary** for the "Bob Carter" at Holy Cross states that he was eleven years younger than the Robert M. Carter described below. The only way I believe this Robert Carter is the same as Robert M. Carter below is if (1) there is a plausible explanation for why he was placed in a Catholic cemetery and (2) the age given in the obituary is incorrect.
**Obituary in Waco newspaper: "Robert Carter, old resident of city, died Aug. 21, 1897 in East Waco. Burial on 17th." [Based on Fall and Puckett records, date should be 16th not 21st.]

ROBERT M. CARTER
Robert M. Carter was born in 1841 in Tippah County, Mississippi, the son of James Carter and Salina Roxanna Dean. The Carters moved from Mississippi to Texas in 1851. Robert enlisted with his brother William L. Carter in the Confederate Army at Bastrop, Texas on 1-18-1862. They both served in Co. B, 18th Tx Cav., Darnell's Regiment. He married Rebecca S. Karnes in Coryell County, Texas on 14 Oct 1866. They had at least five children: Mary E., Lota Bell, Lela Rebecca, James Thomas, and Susie Effie. Robert was a wagoner and a saddler, and possibly a mechanic and a policeman in Waco, Texas in the 1870s. He disappears from the records as of 1880, at which time his wife and children appear on the census in the household of her father.

...Grandmother (Ruth Lydia) had a large cedar chest on her screened porch at her home in Goliad. Therein she stored items of importance to her: the flag used to cover her son Jack's coffin, and uniforms from her sons and her brother Nolan. Uncle Nolan's Army uniform shirts were Olive in color and made of wool. The sleeves had extra material in the cuffs so that when the cuff was buttoned, nothing could enter through the slit. I was told that this was designed to keep the Mustard Gas off skin.
I remember going to see Uncle Nolan at the Veteran's Hospital in Waco. I don't remember the year, but it must have been the late 50s. He was quite handy with his hands and skilled at building things of wood. My sister has the small chair he made for her and I still have a wooden scrapbook he made. I was told that Uncle Nolan had been gassed during the War and had trouble breathing, so that was why he was in the V.A. Hospital.

...My paternal grandmother, Ruth Lydia BOYKIN Calhoun, was a Spanish teacher and Librarian at Goliad High School. Whenever I stayed with her and Granddad, I never minded going with her to school, as I had full run of the library. Reading was encouraged, and I am still an avid reader. I believe she got her degree in 1951 from Southwest Texas State. She was a hard worker and enjoyed teaching. I suspect she was a tough taskmaster!
...Grandmother had several old photo albums and I remember a photo of a fellow standing next to a Saquaro cactus with a six-shooter on his hip. I was told that this was the Boykin that lived in Arizona and that he had searched for and discovered Molybdenum in the area and that this discovery aided the war (WWI) effort. Molybdenum is used as an alloying agent in Steel. I don't know this man's name or exactly how he is related, but he was definitely a Boykin. As a note of interest, there is a Kippi Boykin who is a champion pistol shooter who lives in Arizona. She might be a shirt-tail relative.

the home of James and Salina Carter in Waco. She worked as a seamstress at A. Harris
in downtown Dallas. She had big brown eyes and lots of black hair. She died of a heart attack on son Elmer's front porch. She was about 5'2",
heavy set. It is said she went to Baylor University, but don’t know if that is accurate. She is buried at Old Bethel Cem. near Canton, TX.

Jim Allen (note David Boykin bought the Boykin House Hotel. Before that he was a Teamster.
* On the 1900 census he states his parents were both born in GA. Roll T623-915. SC as a POB is given by his sister. David & Margaret Boykin had 3 children. Mary Jane who died on her 18th birthday, Sarah, which is my line, and her brother "Peter." That is the name he went by. On the census it is Levin (Scion?). Sarah had 13 Children! The two oldest made a visit to Montana to spend some time with their grandfather. That is where "Maggie" met her future husband. They intended to return to Texas after their marriage but never did. Elmer and his father were homesteading and they were staying at "The Boykin House" while they looked for land. This is where they met and their wedding was held at the hotel. Margaret Ann ZUMWALT Boykin died of influenza. David took the children to her parents. This is where I lose track of David. Do you know where he is in 1870 and 1880? The children are in Belmont, TX in 1870 with Andrew and Harriet A. LARRIMORE Zumwalt. In 1880 S.A. "Peter" Boykin is living in Harwood, TX with Andrew Zumwalt and his 2nd wife, Elizabeth E. HAHN - Theresa Mitchell.
