In the Screven Co Ga Census of 1810, Sion and ? Elizabeth appear to have a son less than 5 years of age. On 25 Nov 1830, Alley, her son-in-law Sion and another son-in-law signed as surety for yet another son-in-law's administration of estate of Alley's? brother-in-law, James Anderson (whose heirs were apparently brothers and brothers-in-law). Sion was included in similar bond on 6 Dec 1830, but not on 10 Jan 1831. On 26 Feb 1831, Sion bouht a horse at the sale of the estate of James Anderson. In the division of Hezekiah's estate, Sion Boykin is listed as an heir on 8 Jul 1833, but not on 20 Sept 1833. In his will of 17 Mar 1836 (Screven Co Ga Will Book 1 p 48), Ely Rushing b 1810-1820 names his brother-in-law Sion L Boykin as his executor (other heirs were his brother Michael J Rushing and sisters Mahala and Caroline). Sion Lee Boykin does not appear in the Screven Co Ga Census of 1840. In addition to spelling variations Sion/Scion/Sihon, the name is misread as Lion/Leon. Sion Lee Boykin may be the natural son of the Selah/Celia Boykin b c 1970 who m c 1806-1807 George Mock b c 1785 (Sion was probably with George & Celia in 1820). On 14 Jun 1806, a Selah Boykin (?age 16) made a gift of a cow, a calf and a two year old heifer to her son Sihon Lee Boykin (at most six years old at the time). George Mock b c 1785 m c 1806 - 1807 a Selah/Celia Boykin b c 1790 (sister of my ggggfather), and they are ancestors of most of the Screven Co Ga Mocks. A couple of their grandsons were named Sion B Mock b c 1842 and Sion Mock household includes one young man b 1796 - 1802 ( I believe this man to be Sion Lee Boykin), two boys b 1808 -1810, and three boys and a girl b 1810-1820 George and Selah are known to have had five children, sons b 1808, 1811, 1815 and 1817 and a daughter b 1813. ____________________________________________________________ Pedigree Chart, Notes & Documents.

Theresa Mitchell File. DECENDANTS OF JOHN YANCY CRISWELL, SR. & ELEANOR VANNOY, a sketch by Sue Ragland Diggle. Stanley McMicken File. In the 1850 Gonzales Co., TX census there is a Sion (spelled "Scion") Boykin b. 1806 In GA., listed with 8 children, the oldest of whom was William, b. 1829. Sion's wife was apparently dead, as she was not listed in the census. The oldest daughter was named "Mary" which in all probability was also her mother's name. The Texas Baptist and Herald, 5 Mar 1887, states in its Historical Series that the Church at Gonzales was organized 31 Jul 1847 with Richard D. Ellis, pastor, T.J. Pilgrim, clerk, and 7 other members, one of whom was Mary Boykin who I think was Sion's wife, although she could have been his dau. Mary, then 15. The Boykins came to Texas between 1844 when their youngest child was born in AL and Nov. 1850 when the census was taken. I have no proof, but I strongly believe that Wm. J. is this same Wm., b. 1829, son of Sion. Further, Eliza Jane and Wm. J. named their oldest child "Mary." Wm. J's dau., Lillie told me her father was b. 2 May 1829 near Macon, GA, but she did not know who his parents were. Note: Concerning the above. I also believe this Mary to be Sion's wife. His daughter Mary was married to William Pytus Tumlinson and had a child 28 Dec 1848 - this is only a "window" of five months. The Mary on the 1850 census was probably William J. Boykin's first wife (Sion's daug., Mary, was with her husband and child at this census), but she would only have been 15 in 1847 - Jim Allen. Pettigree Chart and Letter dated 13 Feb 1997.

BOYKIN BIOGRAPHIES: JOHN A. BOYKIN: FLORIDA PIONEER. HIS ANCESTORS & DESCENDANTS, by Walter Maxwell, Jr. ...It is my belief that Sion L. Boykin is the "unknown son" given in Max's book . The main evidence for this conclusion is TIME and PROXIMITY. Sion was of the the right age to be a sibling of the other two sons of Lodwick (John A. & Henry). There is more than adequate evidence that Sion was in the area of Lodwick and his father, John Drury Boykin, Sr. and the "connection" in Screven Co., GA. There is oral tradition that there was a "Tory" in our lineage. This could very well be John Drury Boykin, Sr. whose lands were confiscated, but returned at some time after the Revolutionary War. In addition, there are numerous "name links" to the other Boykins of this area. All this in itself is not conclusive, but since most other lines have been extensively researched, there are not that many viable possibilities available. The only other possibility known to this researcher is a possible son of Henry, son of John Drury and brother of Lodwick. Known references to Henry and his wife, "Miss Moore," state that no records are available to substantiate any theories along this line. Thus, until otherwise proven, I will carry Sion Boykin as a son of Lodwick in the full belief that he truly was - Jim Allen.

The earliest mention of him that I know of, and perhapst the only Screven Co GA record that includes more than a middle initial) is a record of a gift from his mother, Selah Boykin, dated 14 Jun 1806 (Screven Co GA Deed Book A, p. 426 records a gift of cattle from Selah Boykin to her son Sihon Lee Boykin). That one deed record does not clarify whether Selah was a Boykin daughter or a Boykin wife or widow, but it is remarkable if for no other reason because of the age of the grantee and because it is the mother who is the grantor (and the mother may be quite young as well. Appears to have been about 16 - Jim Allen). John Boykin Sr's daughter, Selah/Celia Boykin (b. c1790) must have m. by 1807 George Mock (b. c1785).

This documentation is easy to find, but I have not tied him into our line yet. But, I think he will be there. ca. 1790 a John Williams and wife, Amelia were living around the Waccasassa Marina and Levy County Boat Landing in Florida. In 1843, Amelia Williams, b. 1822 Florida, married William Monroe Brownlow. William and Amelia Williams Brownlow married in Early County, GA. in 1843. They moved immediately to Nachitoches Parrish, Louisana where their first four children (James Monroe Brownlow, Elias Albert Brownlow, Rebecca Brownlow and Mary E. Brownlow) were born. They moved on to Victoria County, Texas about 1857/8. In the 1860 Victoria County, Texas Census, there is an "N. Williams, age 18, born Florida" living with William and Amelia Brownlow and their children. In 1861/2 another baby, Amelia Brownlow II, was born. Amelia I died in 1862. William was killed in the Civil War before 1864. He had married 2nd. Malinda. Malinda changed the baby's name from Amelia II to Malinda Brownlow II according to the 1870 Census. A brother, (Benjamin Brownlow, b. Chatham County, NC) to our line moved from Guillford County, NC, to Levy County, FL. Our Brownlow's came out of VA to NC before GA, LA and Texas. (Note: It seems more likely that William Monroe Brownlow was born in SC as that is what he documented in the 1850 La Census, Gene Brownlow) Somehow, it seems logical that our Williams line migrated mostly through the same areas with the addition of Florida which was mostly populated by Native Americans at the time. If anyone has information that would help me tie any of this together, it would be appreciated. William and Amelia Williams Brownlow married in Early County, GA. in 1843. J.C. Weaver married William and Amelia, Marriage book II 1834 - 1854, Page 075 William’s brother stayed in Calhoun Co. Ga. See 1850 Georgia Census. Calhoun County is adjacent to Early County and originally was the same county. William and George probably left South Carolina together, traveling to the southern part of Georgia. George married a local girl, while William married Amelia whose family was likely on a wagon train from Florida to Texas. They moved immediately to Natchitoches Parrish, Louisiana where their first four children (James Monroe Brownlow, Elias Albert Brownlow, Jura Brownlow and Mary E.

(Note: because Otto Von Rhoeder (SIC Roeder) was the Captian of the Texas State Troops that William Monroe Brownlow was assigned, I beleive he may have been involved in the Battle of Mustang Island.

Gene Brownlow)) September 25, 1861 Victoria Blues Muster Roll shows PRIVATE W.W. Brownlow under Capt. Jas. E. FURGUSON Then, no date, W. M. Brownlow was listed on the Muster Roll as a Sergeant in Company A 24th Brigade, Victoria Blues, Texas Troops, under Capitan Otto Von Roeder. There were 9 individuals listed on both rolls. Due to the date of record I believe he was active as a Texas Ranger before they became Texas State Troops. This would have been in Capt G.J. Hampton's Company A In Von Roeder's Biography it states; While Nassau Plantation was tied up in litigation, Otto moved south and developed a “princely plantation” on the banks of the Guadalupe River in Victoria County’s Mission Valley. His family grew to eight children, and he was listed on the 1860 census, as one of the area’s most prominent and prosperous citizens. A year later at 54, when the civil War began, the well-known patriot joined Company A of Victoria’s reserves, the “Blues” as an officer. On November 24, 1863, Col. von Roeder was captured while the company was defending Mustang Island. Praised for his kindness to other prisoners, he was released at New Orleans in June 1864 following the Louisiana Red River Campaign in which his eldest son served as an officer.

It is possible that he was killed in one of several battles near the end of the war. Two possibilites are the Battle of Mansfield or Pleasant Hill. While stationed in Louisiana, the Victoria company performed numerous guerrilla raids against the federal army. By far the most significant Louisiana engagements Company A participated in were the Battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill. In the early spring of 1864, Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks, commander of the Union forces in Louisiana, began his Red River Campaign that was designed to invade Texas. On April 8, at Sabine Cross-Roads, near Mansfield, Confederate Gen. Richard Taylor’s forces engaged the advancing federal army. During the battle, Waller’s Battalion was attached to Gen. James P. Major’s Brigade and fought as dismounted cavalry. Following the struggle at Mansfield, the fighting continued at Pleasant Hill. Both engagements resulted in Banks aborting his attempt to invade Texas. With the conclusion of the Red River Campaign, Company A resumed its customary small encounters with the enemy until the latter part of November when it returned to Texas. In May 2018 we visited the Mansfield Battle Field Meorial. We were told that that were 100's of unmarked civil war graves in La. However in Minden La there are 21 unmarked graves of Texas Civil War soilders. Williams' children were raised by their stepmother, Melinda Bray Brownlow. She was born about 1825 in North Carolina. She also change Amelia's name to Amanda. William's youngest son Elias moved to the Mayfield boarding house in Karnes County to farm and James stayed to help his stepmother in Victoria County. __________________________________________________________ Consolidated notes that I have been able to find on William Monroe Brownlow as of Aust 2023. Gene Brownlow William Monroe Brownlow born 1815 - died 1864 William Brownlow was born in Pendleton District, South Carolina in 1815 according to the multiple US Census and several military documents. His father was James Brownlow born 1787 in North Carolina and his mother was Rebecca Cross born about 1789 in South Carolina. In the 1800 Pendleton South Carolina Census there is a James Brownlow and wife with two young boys and two young girls listed. Then in 1820 there is a James Brownlow and wife showing four boys and one girl. I believe two of the boys are William Monroe and George Washington Brownlow both under ten years of age. In the 1830 Census there is a James Brownlow and wife with two boys under ten and two boys between ten and twenty years of age. Also, there are 4 young girls under five and one under ten and one under twenty years of age. I believe the two boys between ten and twenty are William Monroe and George Washington Brownlow. William moved from Pendleton, South Carolina to Rome Georgia sometime after 1835 according to the birth of Nassisa, William’s sister, with his father, James, mother Rebecca, and brother George Washington Brownlow and sisters, Sarah, Eliza, Malinda, Nancy and Nassissa. In the 1850 Census it shows James. Rebecca and three daughters, Amanda 18, Emily 16, and NaLisa 12. Both William Monroe and George Washington Brownlow had moved out and started their own families. He married Amelia Williams in Earley County Georgia the 5th day of August 1843 according to their marriage license. William married Amelia whose family was likely on a wagon train from Florida to Texas. William’s brother stayed in Calhoun County Georgia, according to the 1850 Georgia Census. Calhoun County is adjacent to Early County and originally was the same county. William and George probably left South Carolina together, traveling to the southern part of Georgia. George married a local girl, while According to their Georgia marriage license, in 1843, William Monroe Brownlow and Amelia Williams were married in Early County Georgia. They soon moved to Campti, Natchitoches Parish, La. In the 1850 Census it shows W M Brownlow, Amelia, Jura 5, and Mary 4, farming in La. Both girls show to be born in La so they must have been in La. By 1845. William and his family farmed in Natchitoches, Louisiana until 1857/58 when they moved to Texas. In 1845 Jura Narcissus Brownlow was born in Campti, Natchitoches Parish, La. In 1846 Mary Elizabeth Brownlow born in Campti, Natchitoches Parish, La. In 1850 The US Census show William and his family in Natchitoches Parish, La.

This documentation is easy to find, but I have not tied him into our line yet. But I think he will be there. ca. 1790 a John Williams and wife, Amelia were living around the Waccasassa Marina and Levy County Boat Landing in Florida. In 1843, Amelia Williams, b. 1822 Florida, married William Monroe Brownlow. William and Amelia Williams Brownlow married in Early County, GA. in 1843. They moved immediately to Natchitoches Parrish, Louisiana where their first four children (James Monroe Brownlow, Elias Albert Brownlow, Rebecca Brownlow and Mary E. Brownlow) were born. They moved on to Victoria County, Texas about 1857/8. In the 1860 Victoria County, Texas Census, there is an "N. Williams, age 18, born Florida" living with William and Amelia Brownlow and their children. In 1861/2 another baby, Amelia Brownlow II, was born. Amelia I died in 1862. By 1860 the US Census shows William M Brownlow, Amelia, Mary13, James M 10, Eli A 3, and N Williams 18 (a relative of Amelia) living in Victoria Texas. Both boys, James and Eli show to have been born in Louisiana. and N Williams was born in Florida where Amelia was born.

This document was found online at http://www.txcivwarconf.org/papers/spurlin.pdf Victoria, Texas, Units that Served in the Civil War Charles D. Spurlin On the eve of the Civil War, Victoria was a prosperous, thriving commercial center with visions of becoming even more affluent. Since the 1840s steamboats laden with goods for the western trade plied the Guadalupe River and made regular visits to the town. By 1861, the San Antonio and Mexican Gulf Railway was established between Victoria and Port Lavaca, the first link in a commercial chain that the owners of the railroad intended to link the Alamo City with the coastal shipping trade. Politically, Victoria was an avid supporter of the States’ rights doctrine. Victorians who saw commercial opportunities were reluctant to accept any protective trade laws emanating out of the central government. Furthermore, the county’s slave owners firmly stood against any northern opposition restricting bondsmen from the territories. However, most disturbing at the moment was the belief the newly elected president Abraham Lincoln, considered to be a Black Republican, would push for the abolishment of slavery. Consequently, local residents, be they slave owners or not, strongly supported the States’ rights doctrine. Many present day Victorians find little difficulty in relating to their predecessors views on States’ rights. As the war clouds began to thicken after South Carolina seceded from the Union in late 1860, Victorians assumed considerable interest in the national news and speculated as to how the community would be affected. Some of the citizens quickly concluded that should Texas secede they would be prepared to defend their country. As the political events unfolded, a Secession Convention convened, and on February 1, 1861, the delegates voted 174 to 7 to secede. The Victoria district representatives, State District Judge Fielding Jones of Victoria and William R. Scurry from DeWitt County, cast their ballots with the majority. Afterwards, Victoria County with about a forty percent voter turnout accepted the Ordinance of Secession 313 to 88. Victor Rose, a Victoria County resident, newspaperman, and historian, in an assessment of the community’s attitude wrote in his History of Victoria County that Victorians were as enthusiastic for war. . .”as if years of oppression had driven them to the stern necessity.” He added that if the residents were asked why they were so zealous for war, the reply was “To whip the Yankees.” Rose pointed out that resistance in the county to war, where it could be found, came from the older naturalized residents who possessed strong feelings for their oath of allegiance to the United States. In a personal assessment of the unfolding event he stated, “Folly was toppling a great State into needless, ruinous, rebellion. We repudiated the counsels of Sam Houston, Jack Hamilton, J. W. Throckmorton; John Hancock, and other Texans, to follow the magpie chattering of South Carolina’s pigmy so-called statesmen. . . .There was never a more causeless war,—and a fearful responsibility for its consequences rests on the Yankee abolitionists. It seemed that some devil,—he must have been a South Carolina devil,— concealed from view, manipulated events upon the Southern chess board to suit his own malign purpose.” Despite Rose’s misgivings to the war, he served with distinction in Ross’ Texas Brigade. Soon after Texas entered the Confederacy on March 2, 1861, the Victoria Cavalry Company, Twenty-fourth Texas Cavalry Brigade, was organized for local defense purposes. The commander of the unit was James E. Ferguson, a Methodist minister who had lived in the county since 1857. He was the father of future governor James E. “Farmer Jim” Ferguson. Composed primarily of married men who claimed regular service would interfere with their personal affairs, the company drilled four times a week so as to be prepared to defend the area from federal forces. By the end of May, a second company was formed under the guidance of Victoria County Sheriff George J. Hampton. Originally the unit was known as the “Victoria Blues,” probably because some of men possessed blue uniforms acquired from the federal government. After Gen. Henry H. Sibley, a former U. S. Army officer now serving in the Confederate service, arrived at San Antonio in the summer of 1861 and began organizing a brigade, Hampton and his comrades officially joined Sibley’s unit on September 11, 1861, as Company C, Fourth Regiment Texas Mounted Volunteers. Meanwhile, the Victorians renamed the company “Victoria Invincible.” In October 1861, Company C left San Antonio and marched to New Mexico. The first significant engagement the Victorians experienced was at Valverde, New Mexico, in February 1862. Lt. Col. William Scurry, regimental commander in the absence of Col. James Reily who was on a diplomatic mission in Mexico, encouraged the men, as reported by Lt. Charles C. Linn, a member of Company C and the son of Victoria’s first mayor John. J. “Juan” Linn, by yelling “Come on, My Boys. Come On, My Ragged Texians.” Although they were intensely involved in the fight, only eight Victorians, Hampton included, were wounded, none mortally. After the Battle of Valverde, the Texans moved northward to Albuquerque and Santa Fe. On March 26, 1862, at Apache Canyon, the opposing forces collided in combat. The next day, the Victorians arrived at the scene of action as reinforcements. By March 28, the fighting shifted to Glorieta Pass. After a fierce struggle in which a high percentage of officers of the Fourth Texas Cavalry Regiment were killed or wounded, the Confederates retreated. The Victoria Company’s losses were three killed and three wounded. Because of his heroic deeds at the battles of Valverde and Glorieta, Hampton was promoted to major. Before the war ended, the former Victoria County sheriff became a colonel and commanded the Fourth Texas Cavalry Regiment. Having failed to conquer New Mexico, Sibley ordered the brigade to return to Texas. During the summer of 1862, the men staggered into San Antonio. The journey from El Paso to the Alamo City was extremely hard, even for the toughest Victorian. When the Texans commenced the trek, their food supplies and clothing were inadequate for a long journey as they were to embark upon. Pete Fagan, a member of the “Victoria Invincible,” remarked, “The men were suffering terribly from the heat, very many of are a-foot, and scarcely able to travel from blistered feet. They were subsisting on bread and water, both officers and men; many of them sick, many ragged, and all hungry; but we did not see a gloomy face—not one.” By the middle of July, the company reached San Antonio, and a couple of weeks later arrived in Victoria to await assignment. In the fall of 1862, Company C was ordered to the Trans-Mississippi Department and became a part of Gen. Thomas Green’s Cavalry Brigade. As an element in Green’s Brigade, the Victorians actively served in the battlefield operations of western Louisiana. Occasionally, however, the brigade, or portions of it, spent time in eastern Texas. When news reached the Fourth Texas Cavalry Regiment that the military structure east of the Mississippi was collapsing, its members, Victorians included, defiantly adopted on April 27, 1865, at Independence, Texas, a resolution vowing to fight to the end and invited all Confederate troops outside the state to join with them. But, whether the Texans liked it or not, there was to be no further fighting for the Fourth Texas Cavalry Regiment. Also organized for Confederate service at Victoria in 1861 was Company B, Sixth Texas Infantry Regiment, commanded by Capt. Jacob A. Rupley, a local businessman and a former resident of Pennsylvania. Company B was the only Victoria unit to serve east of the Mississippi River. Before leaving the state, the regiment trained for eight months at Camp Henry E. McCulloch, four miles north of Victoria. During its encampment in the community, the Male Academy was paid fifty dollars a month by the city to serve as the regimental hospital. One of the recruits who trained at Camp McCulloch was R. R. Gilbert, a former newspaperman. Under the name of “High Private”, he applied his journalistic abilities by writing a series of satirical letters to the Victoria Advocate describing camp life. In a January 16, 1862, article, Gilbert gave the location of the encampment as a central one where “you can start from it and go to any part of the world—with a furlough.” His version of the Confederate oath was, “Do you solemnly swear that you will stay in the army as long as the war lasts, and fight to the best of your ability; that you will not growl at your rations, and be content with eleven dollars a month, whether you get them or not, so help you God?” The “High Private” also had a few choice comments about army regulations. He wrote, “army regulations require that every soldier shall keep his hair cut short. This cost 25 cents a month. Again, every one who acts irreverently, while the chaplain is officiating, has a Yankee shilling, or 16 2/3 cents, deducted from his pay, and he who swears an oath is mulcted in the sum of 16 2/3 cents for each swear. During the first month, I smiled once in meeting, and my liver being out or order, the number of swears for that month aggregated two each day. “The result: High Private to the Southern Confederacy…: “For Barber’s Bill, one month, 25 cents. “For one ‘irreverently,’ 16 2/3 cents. “For 62 swears at 16 2/3 cents each, $10.34. “For Laundress, 50 cents per week, $2.00. “For Company Cook, 25 cents. “The total is $13.00 2/3 cents. Less one month’s pay, $11, leaving balance due the Confederate States of America, $2.00 2/3 cents. “As eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, I immediately commenced reforming and engaged an enterprising individual to do my swearing at an enormous discount, left off going to church, and made arrangements to do my own cooking and washing.” While training progressed at Camp McCulloch, Col. Garland asked a group of Victoria ladies to design and make an appropriate flag for the regiment. The women on the grounds they lacked the necessary materials declined, but Mrs. Richard Owens, the wife of a local merchant, with the help of her daughters assumed the challenge. The finished product was made of red merino with a border of white silk fringe. A blue shield, 28 by 36 inches, containing thirteen white stars was situated in the middle. Twelve of the stars were arranged along the border of the shield, six on each side, and a large star, to symbolize the Lone Star State, dominated the center. Stitched at the bottom of the flag with white silk was “Sixth Texas Infantry Regiment. Before Mrs. Owens completed the flag, the regiment broke camp and marched to Arkansas. It was delivered to Garland while the regiment was at Arkansas Post. Unfortunately, the flag was taken as war booty by federal troops when the Confederates surrendered the fort in January 1863. After the capitulation of Arkansas Post, the Confederate prisoners of war were transferred up the Mississippi by steamboat to military prisons at Camp Butler, Illinois, Camp Chase, Ohio, and Camp Douglas, Illinois. During the spring of 1863, a prisoner exchange was made. In May 1863, The Sixth, Tenth, and Fifteenth Texas Regiments were consolidated. However, later in the war the Tenth Texas Infantry Regiment again became an independent unit. During the following month, the consolidated unit was assigned to Gen. Patrick R. Cleburne’s Division in the Army of Tennessee. As a part of the division, the consolidated regiment participated in the engagements at Chickamauga in September 1863. After Chickamauga, the regiment was assigned to Col. Hiram B. Granbury’s Brigade and fought in the Chattanooga Campaign. Although the fighting ended in a defeat for the Southern forces, the one bright spot for the Confederates was the manner in which the Texans held its position at Missionary Ridge under intense Union pressure. The unit was eventually forced to retreat when the federals broke through other Confederate entrenchments and left the Texans’ flanks exposed. The Army of Tennessee withdrew to Georgia. In the spring and summer of 1864, it engaged in the Battle of Atlanta. In this campaign, the Sixth Texas, now known as the “Bloody Sixth,” was a vital cog in the Confederate defenses around the city. Despite heavy casualties to the regiment, the men fought stubbornly to halt the federal advance. Fighting was so intense at times; the unit was commanded by five different men in a two day period. On May 29, Capt. B. R. Tyus was wounded and Capt. Rhodes Fisher assumed command. The next day Fisher was wounded and forced to relinquish command to Capt. M. M. Houston who lasted only ten minutes before being killed. Capt. R. R. Rice took charge and shortly afterwards became a casualty whereupon 1st Lieut. T. S. Flynt became the regimental commander. During the fighting in Georgia and Tennessee, Victorian Jacob Fox won the distinction of being the most wounded soldier in Company B. On July 21, he either received shrapnel or a bullet but remained on active duty. On September 1, Fox was hit again. He, nevertheless, continued to be an effective member of the company. Later, on November 30, he lost a forefinger at Franklin, Tennessee, but shortly afterwards returned to duty. After the Georgia Campaign, the Army of Tennessee moved into Tennessee and fought at Franklin and Nashville. At Nashville, the Confederate army was routed and retreated to Mississippi where Gen. Joseph E. Johnston assumed command from Gen. John B. Hood. Afterwards, the army intermittently marched to North Carolina. In the Carolina Campaign of 1865, Johnston’s strategy was essentially one of retreat, hold, and retreat. Because the ranks of the Army of Tennessee were continually depleted from its encounters with the federals, it was restructured. Under the reorganization setup, the Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, and Fifteenth Texas Infantry Regiments were consolidated with the Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Twenty-fourth, and Twenty-fifth Texas Dismounted Cavalry Regiments. The new command was designated the First Texas Infantry Regiment and assigned to Gen. D. C. Govan’s Brigade, Gen. John C. Brown’s Division. On April 26, 1865, Johnston, his army in rags with little food and military supplies, formally surrendered to Gen. William T. Sherman. Confederate officer Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge, an 1860 Democratic presidential candidate, was present at the meeting between Johnston and Sherman. All three men were old acquaintances. A bottle of liquor was acquired for social drinks. The more the men drank the more elegant Breckinridge’s comments became on the surrender terms. Finally, Sherman stated, “Hold on Breckinridge. If you get one more drink inside you, you’ll talk me into surrendering to Johnston.” In the spring of 1862 on the Garcitas Creek east of Victoria, a third Victoria company was formed to serve in the Confederate army under the command of Dr. James B. P. January, a local physician. Within a year, he resigned and Reed N. Weisiger, a member of a prominent Victoria family, became the company commander. When the unit entered Confederate service on April 18, its members affectionately referred to it as the “Jim Scott Rangers,” but officially it was Company A, Thirteenth Texas Cavalry Battalion. Maj. Edwin Waller Jr., the son of the first mayor of Austin, was the battalion commander. After the company was organized, it moved to Hempstead and united with the other companies in the battalion. In July, the unit broke camp and moved toward western Louisiana, reaching its destination in the latter part of August. Except for two companies of Louisiana infantry, Waller’s Battalion was the only Confederate force in the western sector of the state in the closing months of 1862. In the early part of 1863, Green’s Brigade, after the ill-fated New Mexico campaign, arrived in Louisiana. Waller’s Battalion was attached to it and remained, except for occasional detached duty, as an integral part of the brigade until shortly before the war ended. While stationed in Louisiana, the Victoria company performed numerous guerrilla raids against the federal army. By far the most significant Louisiana engagements Company A participated in were the Battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill. In the early spring of 1864, Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks, commander of the Union forces in Louisiana, began his Red River Campaign that was designed to invade Texas. On April 8, at Sabine Cross-Roads, near Mansfield, Confederate Gen. Richard Taylor’s forces engaged the advancing federal army. During the battle, Waller’s Battalion was attached to Gen. James P. Major’s Brigade and fought as dismounted cavalry. Following the struggle at Mansfield, the fighting continued at Pleasant Hill. Both engagements resulted in Banks aborting his attempt to invade Texas. With the conclusion of the Red River Campaign, Company A resumed its customary small encounters with the enemy until the latter part of November when it returned to Texas. In the final stages of the war, the company traversed the eastern part of the state without experiencing any action. In early 1865, the battalion was elevated to regimental status. On March 30, it was integrated into Gen. Walter P. Lane’s Brigade, Gen. William Steele’s Division. Two months later, on May 20, Waller’s Regiment was disbanded. Sources Alberts, Don E., ed.

They would sign up for a short period of time to protect the people from Mexican raiders and hostile Indians. When the Civil war started these Rangers converted over to Texas State Troops.

Brownlow was listed on the Muster Roll as a Sergeant in Company A 24th Brigade, Victoria Blues, Texas Troops, under Capitan Otto Von Roeder. There were 9 individuals listed on both rolls. Due to the date of record, I believe he was active as a Texas Ranger before they became Texas State Troops. This would have been in Capt G.J. Hampton's Company A In Von Roeder's Biography it states; While Nassau Plantation was tied up in litigation, Otto moved south and developed a “princely plantation” on the banks of the Guadalupe River in Victoria County’s Mission Valley. His family grew to eight children, and he was listed on the 1860 census, as one of the area’s most prominent and prosperous citizens. A year later at 54, when the civil War began, the well-known patriot joined Company A of Victoria’s reserves, the “Blues” as an officer. On November 24, 1863, Col. von Roeder was captured while the company was defending Mustang Island. Praised for his kindness to other prisoners, he was released at New Orleans in June 1864 following the Louisiana Red River Campaign in which his eldest son served as an officer In 1862 Amelia gave birth to a daughter. Amelia died in 1862 so it can be assumed that she died giving birth. William named the girl Amelia after her mother. November 17, 1863 Sgt William Brownlow was involved in the Battle of Mustang Island. The names of citizens of Victoria captured on Mustang Island are: Lieuts. A. Clark, M. L. Stoner, Skrugg, H.

Tenn. 48 Mission Valley Battle of Mustang Island Following the battle of Brownsville, the Union army consolidated a garrison there under Major General Napoleon J. T. Dana. Major General Nathaniel P. Banks then planned to move against Corpus Christi. Banks directed Brigadier General Thomas E. G. Ransom on an expedition against a Confederate earthen fortification on Mustang Island known as Fort Semmes. The Confederate garrison, of less than 100 men, was composed of detachments from the 3rd Texas State Militia under Major George O. Dunaway and the 8th Texas Infantry under Captain William N. Maltby. Ransom’s men made a forced march against Fort Semmes which was occupied by men from the 8th Texas Infantry and 3rd Texas State Militia. The Union advance encountered Confederate skirmishers on November 17. Ransom’s men fired one volley causing the Texas skirmishers to retreat back into Fort Semmes. Ransom deployed the 13th Maine and 15th Maine infantry regiments in line of battle while the USS Monongahela fired into the fort from offshore. Fort Semmes’ small garrison was not prepared for open battle and the fighting was over shortly after the attack commenced. Major Dunaway decided upon an unconditional surrender of the entire garrison rather than making an attempt to fight their way back to the mainland.[5] Major General Cadwallader C. Washburn arrived at the head of the Union expedition on the Texas Coast. Washburn next led Union forces to capture Fort Esperanza on November 30, 1863. References • Howell, Kenneth Wayne, ed.

The name of citizens of Victoria captured on Mustang island are: Lieuts. A. Clark, M. L. Stoner, Skrugg, H. Devine, Otto Von Rhoeder, P. D. Newcomb, J. D.

(Note: because Otto Von Rhoeder (SIC Roeder) was the Captain of the Texas State Troops that William Monroe Brownlow was assigned, I believe he may have been involved in the Battle of Mustang Island. (Note additional information shows that William married again in 1864 so that would mean he wasn't killed in this action.) In 1864 William married Melinda Bray on January 21, 1864, in Victoria County, Texas. I believe it is possible that sometime after William married Malinda he was called upon to join the fight in Louisiana. It is possible that he was killed in one of several battles near the end of the war. Two possibilities are the Battle of Mansfield or Pleasant Hill. While stationed in Louisiana, the Victoria company performed numerous guerrilla raids against the federal army. By far the most significant Louisiana engagements Company A participated in were the Battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill. In the early spring of 1864, Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks, commander of the Union forces in Louisiana, began his Red River Campaign that was designed to invade Texas. On April 8, at Sabine Cross-Roads, near Mansfield, Confederate Gen. Richard Taylor’s forces engaged the advancing federal army. During the battle, Waller’s Battalion was attached to Gen. James P. Major’s Brigade and fought as dismounted cavalry. Following the struggle at Mansfield, the fighting continued at Pleasant Hill. Both engagements resulted in Banks aborting his attempt to invade Texas. With the conclusion of the Red River Campaign, Company A resumed its customary small encounters with the enemy until the latter part of November when it returned to Texas. In the document Victoria, Texas, Units that served in the Civil War by Charles D, Spurlin, he states the following, In the early part of 1863, Green’s Brigade, after the ill-fated New Mexico campaign, arrived in Louisiana. Waller’s Battalion was attached to it and remained, except for occasional detached duty, as an integral part of the brigade until shortly before the war ended. As a side note Mary E Brownlow married James Sheppard Feb 4th 1864. Soon after William married, he was sent to Louisiana with the Victoria Blues. While stationed in Louisiana, the Victoria company performed numerous guerrilla raids against the federal army. By far the most significant Louisiana engagements Company A participated in were the Battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill. In the early spring of 1864, Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks, commander of the Union forces in Louisiana, began his Red River Campaign that was designed to invade Texas. On April 8, at Sabine Cross-Roads, near Mansfield, Confederate Gen. Richard Taylor’s forces engaged the advancing federal army. During the battle, Waller’s Battalion was attached to Gen. James P. Major’s Brigade and fought as dismounted cavalry. Following the struggle at Mansfield, the fighting continued at Pleasant Hill. Both engagements resulted in Banks aborting his attempt to invade Texas. With the conclusion of the Red River Campaign, Company A resumed its customary small encounters with the enemy until the latter part of November when it returned to Texas. In the final stages of the war, the company traversed the eastern part of the state without experiencing any action. In early 1865, the battalion was elevated to regimental status. On March 30, it was integrated into Gen. Walter P. Lane’s Brigade, Gen. William Steele’s Division. Two months later, on May 20, Waller’s Regiment was disbanded. I visited the battle fields of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill in La. There I learned that there were hundreds of unmarked graves from the civil war. One location was in Minden La. There in the cemetery are 10 graves that indicate the men were from Texas and had fought in the Mansfield/Pleasant Hill battles. Here I believe is the grave of William Monroe Brownlow. Williams' children were raised by their stepmother, Melinda {Bray} Brownlow. She was born about 1825 in North Carolina. She also changed Amelia's name to Amanda. William's youngest son Elias moved to the Mayfield boarding house in Karnes County to farm and James stayed to help his stepmother in Victoria County. According to multiple news papers Malinda became an Administratrix for a law office when she provided personal Will services. | Brownlow, Sgt William Monroe (I956)

| 949 | The Brownlow Family and the Rise of Lurgan from Review - Journal of Craigavon Historical Society Vol. 1 No. 1 by K. Clendinning Arthur Chamberlain, the eldest son of Lettice Brownlow, was born at Ardee Co. Louth, in 1645, educated at Trinity College, Dublin and qualified in law at Lincoln's Inn. In 1660 when he became of age, he assumed the name of Brownlow and inherited his grandfather's estate. Under his supervision Lurgan began to grow and prosper; building was encouraged by giving tenants renewable leases and stipulating that one or more houses of 20 to 30 feet in length, 18 to 20 feet high were to be erected on the front of their own tenements. From this stipulation Lurgan began to grow and to take the shape which its main street retains today. He took a deep interest in the welfare of his tenants by introducing linen weaving to them and buying their produce at a loss to himself. Thus he laid the foundation of the linen industry in this district and by 1675 there was a market house established around which linen was sold. In 1708, Lurgan was described by Thomas Molyneux as a town which has the greatest mart of Linen Manufacture in the North, being almost entirely peopled by linen weavers. Besides being a man of business, Arthur was a man of culture. He spoke fluent Irish and he saved the Book of Armagh from destruction. This book was sold for a small sum of money by the infamous Florence McMoyne. Shortly after this it was discovered by Arthur Brownlow who purchased it and kept it in his own library. This Book of Armagh was written in 807 A.D. and contains the New Testament, together with the Confessions of St. Patrick, two early Lives of the Saint, and a Life of Saint Martin of Tours. Arthur was High Sheriff of Co. Armagh 1668, and 1669 and M.P. for County Armagh 1692-1710. In 1689 during the Williamite wars he sat in the Parliament summoned by James II, and is believed to have been the only member of this Parliament to sit in the Williamite Parliament of 1692. As early as 1699, along with several others, he had the idea of building a canal between Lough Neagh and Newry. On 6th December 1697, Arthur married Jane, the daughter of Sir Standish Hartstronge, Bart of Bruff, Co. Limerick, who survived him and died March 1720. Arthur died 22nd February 1712, and was buried in Shankill Graveyard, leaving two daughters, Lettice and Anne and five sons, William, Standish, John, Philemon and Arthur. The eldest, William, was baptised 31st December, 1638, educated Trinity College, Dublin graduated B.A. 1703, M.P. for Armagh 1711-1715 and 1729-1739. _________________________________________________________ Arthur Chamberlain/Brownlow With the restoration of peace, the existing Brownlow estate was not only consolidating and prospering but also being extended, for on the death of Sir William Brownlow in 1660, he was succeeded by his grandson, Arthur Chamberlain, eldest son of Lettice Brownlow who had married Patrick Chamberlain of Niselrath near Ardee, Co. Louth. This marriage and the subsequent succession of her son brought the Chamberlain estate in the parish of Philiptown, barony of Ardee, Co. Louth into the possession of the Brownlows. Arthur Chamberlain assumed the surname of Brownlow as directed in the will of his grandfather Sir William Brownlow and resided in Brownlowsderry. A succession of in-laws, related to his through some of his mother's four marriages, lived on the Co. Louth lands. For further details, see the County Louth Archaeological Journal, Vol. XI, pp 175-85: 'Notes on the Allied Families of Clinton, Aston, O'Doherty and Brownlow' by T.G.F. Patterson. The Co. Louth estate eventually passed out of Brownlow possession in c.1753 when William Brownlow, grandson of Arthur Brownlow, alias Chamberlain, sold it to Alderman Richard Dawson. The property contained 923 Irish acres with tenements in Ardee and Louth towns; no information is given for the purchase price though from a Brownlow rental/account book we know the half-yearly rent in 1753 was £260:12:4 and one farthing. For further information about the sale and the estate, see PRONI, D/3053/9/3/1-12. Arthur Brownlow, alias Chamberlain, was a prudent manager and accumulated a considerable amount of money which he invested in other lands, chiefly in Co. Armagh where he acquired the manor of Richmount and thus became one of the largest property owners in the county. This land, originally known as Aghavellan, was granted by James I to John Heron in 1610. He sold it to John Waldron who received a re-grant for it from Charles I in 1629. John Waldron's grandson, Francis Stonard Waldron, conveyed the lands to Thomas Coke, Robert Burditt and Rowland Cotton in 1705, and in the following year by deeds of lease and release, by way of conveyance, the whole manor to Arthur Brownlow and John Hoope, merchant, for £13,000. Arthur Brownlow later bought out John Hoope, thus securing complete control of the manor. The Monaghan estate He also acquired land in Co. Monaghan. This was the Coolderry estate, near Carrickmacross, in the parish of Magheracloone and barony of Farney, and it had been part of a grant in 1576 by Elizabeth I to Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex, which later descended to the Shirley family of Lough Fea (see PRONI, D/3531) and the Marquesses of Bath. In c.1618 the 3rd Earl of Essex granted John Hadsor of Keppock, Co. Monaghan, gentleman, '... the manor of Moymuck and nineteen tates of land, afterwards well known as Hadsor's fee-farm in the parish of Magheracloone in this barony [of Farney], on a fee farm rent of £40 per annum.' We know of some 17 townlands which were part of Hadsor's fee fram grant - Carrickashedoge, Carricknagoan, Derry, Drumboory, Feahoe, Killark, Leons-beg, Liscarnan, Maghernacloy, Mookeeran, Moylough, Mullaghrafferty, Mullyore, Mulllusty, Toiniska, Tullyallen and Tulleallin or Drumbore. The Brownlow family ' ... were in possession probably by purchase, previous to the year 1692 ..., but the actual date and means of how it passed through to them from Hadsor is as yet still unclear. We do know however that John Hadsor was implicated in the Great Rebellion in 1641 and ' ... was seized of 19 tates of land which he forfeited as a rebel: at that time Colonel Thomas Sadler received from the usurping powers, a grant of the same in lieu of the arrears of his pay, due to him for service in England, extending to the sum of £513.10.0 the 10 tates of land were subject to a rent charge of £40 per annum.' This perhaps accounts for the change in ownership which left the way open for the Brownlows later to purchase. Under the terms of the will, 1791, of the Rt Hon. William Brownlow, who died 1794, the land in Co. Monaghan was left to his second son Charles, with remainder to his other younger children, while his eldest son, William, was to inherit the Co. Armagh estates; the will further specified that the two properties were not to be united unless the cadet lines became extinct. Accordingly, when Charles Brownlow succeeded his elder brother, William, at Lurgan in 1815, the Co. Monaghan estate passed to the next brother James, and subsequently to the next, the Rev. Francis Brownlow. It remained in the possession of Francis Brownlow's branch of the family until Land Purchase. For documentation of the separate Monaghan estate, see PRONI D/4176 and, on the web-site, the Bath and Brownlow estates. The Co. Armagh estate Meanwhile through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the Co. Armagh Brownlow estate in the manors of Brownlowsderry and Richmount continued to prosper and with it the Brownlows, while Lurgan continued to grow as a town. Charles Brownlow was raised to the peerage as Lord Lurgan in 1839 'for services to the Whig Party'. In 1833 he had engaged W.H. Playfair, the Edinburgh architect, to design what became Brownlow House, alias 'Lurgan Castle'. It was finished by c.1840. Visiting it in 1863, John Ynyr Burges of Parkanaur, Castlecaulfield, Co. Tyrone, recorded in his diary (PRONI, T/1282/2, p. 140), '... The interior of this beautiful mansion is wonderfully arranged. The furniture and fitting-up is most costly, the dinner exquisite and the whole establishment in excellent order'. By 1883, the Brownlow estate, of 15,276 acres, was worth £20,589 a year. This consisted of the manors of Brownlowsderry and Richmount, the component townlands of which are listed in the table below: Master McGrath The Dubliners Em / D Em Eighteen sixty nine being the date anf the year, G Em D Em Those Waterloo sportsmen and more did appear, G Em D Em For to gain the great prizes and bear them awa', Em / D Em Never counting on Ireland and Master McGrath. On the twelfth of November, that day of renown, McGrath and his keeper they left Lurgan town, A gale in the Channel, it soon drove them o'er, On the thirteenth they landed on England's fair shore. Oh well when they arrived there in big London Town, Those great English sportsmen all gathered around, And one of those gentlemen standing nearby said, 'Is that the great dog you call Master McGrath?' Oh well one of the gentlemen standing around, Says, 'I don't care a damn for your Irish greyhound!' And another he sneered with a scornful 'Ha! Ha! We'll soon humble the pride of your Master McGrath.' Then Lord Lurgan came forward and said, 'Gentlemen, If there's any amongst you has money to spend. For your grand English nobles I don't care a straw, Here's five thousand to one upon Master McGrath.' Oh, McGrath he looked up and he wagged his old tail. Informing his lordship, 'Sure I know what you mane, Don't fear, noble Brownlow, don't fear them agra, We'll soon tarnish their laurels', says Master McGrath. Oh well Rose stood uncovered, the great English pride, Her master and keeper were close by her side; They let them away and the crowd cried, 'Hurrah!' For the pride of all England and Master McGrath. Oh well Rose and the Master they both ran along. 'I wonder', says Rose, 'what took you from your home. You should have stayed there in your Irish domain, And not come to gain laurels on Albion's plain.' 'Well, I know', says the Master, 'we have wild heather bogs but, bedad, in old Ireland there's good men and dogs. Lead on, bold Britannia, give none of your jaw, Stuff that up your nostrils', says Master McGrath. Well the hare she led on just as swift as the wind He was sometimes before her and sometimes behind, He jumped on her back and held up his ould paw - 'Long live the Republic', says Master McGrath.

| 950 | The Brownlow Family and the Rise of Lurgan from Review - Journal of Craigavon Historical Society Vol. 1 No. 1 by K. Clendinning Charles, Second Baron Lurgan, was born 10th April 1831, K.P. 76th Regiment, Lord Lieut. Co. Armagh 1864/82. Lord in waiting Queen Victoria 1869/74. He married 20th June, Emily Ann, daughter of John Brown the 3rd Lord Kilmaine. When his father died, Charles was a minor and the estate was managed by the Agent, John Handcock. Between 1845-49 the greatest disaster ever to hit Ireland was the potato famine People of this district are inclined to think that the famine was in the South and West but that is not so. Here are some extracts from a letter by a Church of England clergyman to the Relief Committee of the Society of Friends about conditions in North Armagh, dated Feb. 23rd 1847. "The weaver at present can only earn by weaving a web of sixty yards; two shillings and six-pence to four shillings and sixpence which employs him nearly a whole week in preparation, while at present such wages will not support the mere weaver without a family Even at such wages I can state as a fact having come under my own immediate observation that weavers are sitting up three nights per week in order by any means to procure food One of the poorhouses in the district of Lurgan is shut for ingress or egress; seventy-five died in one day. We are in short rapidly approaching, and if unassisted, must arrive at the worst picture that has been presented to the public from Co. Cork." In 1351 the population of Lurgan was 4,651 and ten years later it had risen to 8,500. This was probably due to power loom weaving introduced by James Malcolm in 1855. In 1861, owing to the American Civil War, there was a great upsurge in the linen trade. Old mills were enlarged and power looms built and powered by steam. Lurgan began to extend its boundaries. To keep factories supplied with coal, a new Cut was made in 1863, 300 yards longs from Lough Neagh to Kinnego. This meant that lighters of 60 to 100 tons could come into the new quay, towed by a steam tug from Ellis Cut which was where the Lagan Canal met Lough Neagh. In 1863 the Town Hall was built at the cost of £2,300 and the Town Commission did Lord Lurgan the honour of appropriating his family coat of arms and crest, and impaled it with a coat of their own design which was: Vert, on a chevron ermine, charged with three bezants, between a pile of linen in chief, and in the base a beehive with bee, all proper supported with flax plants and the motto: "Be Just and Fear Not." This coat of arms is termed. bogus or unauthorised arms. No person can give or sell this coat of arms. The legal right to the use of a coat of arms can only be obtained on the payment of certain fees and stamps. This coat of arms was used by Lurgan Town Council until it became a Borough. ____________________________________________ More About FIRST BARON LURGAN CHARLES BROWNLOW: Political office: Bet. 1818 - 1832, MP for Armagh Title (Facts Page): 1839, 1st Lord Lurgan Charles Brownlow, 1st Baron Lurgan was born on 17 April 1795.1 He was the son of Lt.-Col.
