    Notes:

    While conducting an ancestry search at my local library, I ran across a publication that listed transcriptions of some articles of interest found among the newspapers published in Crockett, Texas between 1853 and 1896.

    The complete title is Houston County Collection Volume I, Crockett Newspapers, 1853 - 1896, published by Bebe Beasley Ulrich.

    According to Ms. Ulrich, in Volume 1, Number 2, published February 7, 1890 under the section "Local News - Nevel's Prairie" appears this announcement:

    Mrs. Rebecca Chapman, of McClellan [sic] County is visiting relatives on the prairie. She lived near Old Randolph for 35 years, moving away from there in 1865. Her old friends will be glad to know that she is still sprightly and bids fair to live a good while yet...

    While there are not many words printed, it speaks volumes to this researcher. From three sentences I either learned or confirmed that Rebecca Chapman, my fourth great grandmother:

    •came to Houston County, Texas about 1830
    •moved to McLennan County, Texas between 1865 and 1890
    •was still alive and in good health in 1890.
    I already knew that she and her husband, Robert Chapman arrived in Texas shortly after they married in 1836 and settled in Houston County. So the writer was a little off on that one. I have never been able to determine much beyond the 1860 census when Rebecca appeared as a widow with several children in Houston County. I have never found their graves and I have never found Rebecca on a subsequent census report. After reading this article, I did locate a Rebecca Chapman in McLennan County but some details leave doubts as to the whether or not it is her. One daughter, Martha Frances Chapman Smith, did move to that area by 1880 so I am still hopeful that it is her.

    Even the earliest newspapers carried snippets of community news items that may prove essential to your ancestry search.

    I do know that Rebecca was living in McLennan Co. in 1890 as there was a newspaper notation about her visiting in Houston Co. in February of that year. After that I have no record of her. I believe she was living with either Martha or her son Isaac who was also a resident of McLennan Co. I do know that Rebecca's mother Sarah Hodges was living in McLennan Co. next door to Mary Alice in the 1880 census. Robert is last seen on the census of 1850 and it is thought that he died during the Civil War as Rebecca collected "Indigent Family" funds after the war was over but have not found any pension or enlistment information. I have gone back a number of generations on the Chapman and Hodges sides too.

    From Crockett Newpapers, the Gazette, Vol 1, No. 2, February 7, 1890:

    "Nevel's Prairie

    Mrs. Rebecca Chapman of McClellan (sic) County is visiting relatives on the Prairie. She lived near Old Randolph for 35 years, moving away from there in 1865. Her old friends will be glad to know that she is still sprightly and bids fair to live a good while yet...We should all love these old pioneers who settled this county in dangerous times when the red man periled the wood with his tomahawk. We should do them honor, and try to make their declining days as happy as possible. We are now reaping the fruits of their labor..."

    Notes:

    Benjamin M. Hodges was born in 1823 in Tennessee to Edmund and Sarah McClain Hodges. Benjamin arrived in Houston County in the Republic of Texas in 1837 with his siblings, his mother and McClain grandparents subsequent to his father's death at Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tennessee on July 31, 1832.

    Benjamin's father, Edmund (born 1794 NC.), a private in Captain Caperton's Tennessee Militia, fought in the Battle of Talledega in the war of 1812. He married Sarah McClain (born 1798 GA) near Winchester, Franklin County, Tennessee on July 29, 1812. Edmund and Sarah became parents of Hettie (Rutherford), Rebecca (Chapman), Abel, Isaac James, Benjamin M., Parthenia (Speer), Jacob Mickler and Sarah (Hallmark). The last account of Sarah McClain Hodes was when she was listed as a War of 1812 widow in Limestone County, Texas in the 1883 SENATE EX. DOCUMENT #84.

    In the newly formed Republic of Texas, headrights were given to the heads of families and single men who settled and proved they were loyal citizens. Benjamin's mother, Sarah McClain Hodges, received a 2nd Class land grant for 1,280 acres issued to those who arrived in the republic after March 2, 1836 but prior to October 1, 1837. Sarah's father, William McClain, her son Abel, and son-in-law Robert Chapman also received land grants. Benjamin was granted 320 acres on June 4, 1844 after he turned twenty-one and proved he had lived in the Republic for three years and was a loyal citizen.

    When Texas joined the United States, Mexico still claimed it as its own and broke diplomatic relations with the U. S. Government. The Mexican War broke out and a Company of Texas Mounted Volunteers was mustered into federal service on June 19, 1846. Benjamin M. Hodges was recruited at Crockett, Houston County, Texas into Company H of the Second Regiment. General Zachary Taylor headed a military campaign in northern Mexico against Mexican armies under the command of General antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. The two armies met at Monterrey, Mexico in a three-day battle i September 1846 when Santa Anna was defeated. Benjamin Hodges was discharged on October 15, 1846. Family history suggests that he lost a leg during the war.

    On December 23, 1846 Benjamin married Mary Speer (born 1834 AR), daughter of Levy and Sarah (Dixon) Speer. They became the parents of eight children: Sarah (Fowler), Parthena Jane (Rodgers), Susan, William Carroll, Isaac James, Mary Angeline (Grimes), Lula (Moon), and Asa Jackson Hodges.

    Benjamin was unable to serve in the Confederate Army because of his leg but he did serve in the Home Guard in Houston County during the Civil War. After the war Benjamin's family, his brother Isaac's family and his sister Hettie Rutherford's family moved across the Trinity River into Leon County in the late 1860's. On June 4, 1870 Benjamin sold 120 acres of land in Leon County to Joseph L. Taylor for $300.00 located on the headwaters of Forked Deer Creek to where it crosses Clear Creek, a part of the Kennard survey excepting ten acres deeded to Jeremiah Phillips.

    The Hodges were members of the Clear Creek Baptist Church which is a part of the Trinity River Baptist Association. Benjamin settled his family above Clear Creek where he built a log house with no windows and one door. At night they had to put the eating table across the door to keep the panthers and other wild animals out. When the panthers would get after the baby calves, they would have to tear the fence down so the cows could get to their calves and fight the panthers off.

    The graveyard at Clear Creek was started by the Hodges when Benjamin's brother Isaac went home and collapsed April 1, 1871 after working hard one Saturday on a new church building. He is buried on the apex of the cemetery. The youngest child of Benjamin and Mary ws only three years old when Benjamin died. Benjamin called him to the bed and patted him on the head and said, "Be a good boy!". He died on April 16, 1878 near Marquez, Leon County, Texas and is buried at Clear Creek Cemetery. His grave was marked with a "Citizen of the Republic of Texas" bronze marker by descendants in 1990.

    Benjamin married Mary Speer on 23 Dec 1846. Mary (daughter of Levi Speer and Sarah Dixon) was born in 1834 in Arkansas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    I am a descendant of Edmond Hodges' youngest child, Sarah, who was called Sallie. Although some state her middle name was Rutherford, I have found NO PROOF of that as of this time. One reason WHY she is often omitted in the list of children for Edmond is because she was born a few months AFTER HE DIED in Hardeman Co. TN.

    When her mother, siblings, came to Texas, they settled in Houston Co., where Sarah first met the Hallmark family. She married James Minet Charles Pierson Hallmark, called JIM, probably in Houston Co., where records were lost, around 1849. Sarah Hodges, the mother, is living in her home on the census there in 1850, probably because the daughter was in the last stages of pregnancy with her first child. The son was born late in 1850 in Houston Co.--Richard Edmond Hallmark, called ED later on.

    The Hallmarks were still in Houston Co. when State took the Scholastic Census around 1855, but they soon joined other relatives where the father, Richard Hallmark, and some of the Ruthefords, had moved on Hallmark land granted him in Bastrop Co. This land, however, was at the very TIP of the diamond-shaped county, and right on the county line of Caldwell, Gonzales, and Fayette, plus very near Lavaca Co., around JEDDO.

    In 1860, the James Hallmark family is found in Lavaca Co. TX living NEXT DOOR to Sarah's brother, Jacob Mickler Hodges and family. Tax rolls and deeds there show the Hallmarks only stayed there about 3 years, before returning to Bastrop Co. The census taker in 1860 must have had a hearing problem, as the family is listed under James DALMARK, and there are many errors in regard to some of the family's children, with both names and correct sex.

    At least by 1865, James M. Hallmark and family joined other family members in Bell County, where Richard Hallmark had also received land grants on Coryell/Bell lines---today on land NOW inside Ft. Hood, around Sugarloaf Mountain. It was here in 1866 that my ggrandfather, William Andrew Jackson JACK Hallmark was born.

    Deeds and tax records show the family left Bell Co. in the late 1860's, but WHERE they went from there is not known UNTIL they show up on very early Limestone Co. TX records. Sarah died in Limestone Co. around 1876, and she is buried in the Faulkenberry Cem. out of Grosbeck, with some members of the Rutherford family.

    Sarah and James Minet had 10 children, 8 boys, 2 girls. ALL lived to be quite old, except for one girl who died in childbirth at a young age. He had 3 sons by his second wife. The family is shown in 1880 Limestone Co. TX, the same county as other members of the Hodges and Rutherford Counties.

    In the early 1880's, some of Hetty & Lindsey Rutherford's sons had taken up land in Llano Co. on the Llano River. James moved his family up near them, only he took up land on the north side of the river, whereas others were on the south side. Also coming as James Dillon Collins, now the husband of Martha Jane Rutherford, the dtr. of Hetty and Lindsey, whose land was also on the south side of the river.

    James Minet Hallmark DIED there around 1895, being buried in the Pennington Cem., on Pennington Creek, a tributary of the Llano River on the north side. James Dillon Collins is also buried there, but floods prevented his body from being buried next to his wife, Martha, who is in a small cemetery on the south side of the river. To complicate matters, daughter, Lydia Ann Parthena Collins, married son of James Minet and Sarah Hallmark--Wm. Andrew Jackson, my ggrandparents.

    Lydia and young daughter Hetty were visiting family around Leon/Limestone Co. line near Thornton in the late 1890's when they took sick and died. Both are buried in the Tidwell Cem. NEXT TO family of Jacob Mickler Hodges and his Rutherford wife.

    It is interesting that the old mother, SARAH HODGES, is listed TWICE in the 1850 Census for Houston Co.--in both the home of Abel Hodges and Sarah Hodges Hallmark. This was not that uncommon, however, and it is my feeling that she normally lived with Abel, but had briefly gone to be with Sarah pending the birth of her first child. Unfortunately, although pension records indicate the old Mother did NOT die until around 1880, she has NOT been found on any other census roll since 1850. James Minet and Sarah also seem to have completely MISSED being enumerated in 1870, but correspondence in the mother's pension indicate she rotated around among relatives the rest of her life.

    Based on her Obituary Martha Francis (Chapman) Smith was buried next to Littleton Spivey Smith in Cox Cemetery.
    Mrs. Martha Francis Smith is Gone to Rest
    On Sunday morning about five o'clock the gental spirit of Mrs. Martha Frances Smith departed this life and went to dwell in "house not made with hands."

    Some four weeks ago she went from the old homestead near Bruceville, where she lived with her son, J.E. Smith, to Eddy for a visit to her daughter, Mrs. John Baugh, and soon her strength began to fail and despite the heroic fight that was made by her attending loved ones and skilled physicians, it seemed that nothing could give strength to her care-worn body and cheerfully and resignedly she awaited the last summons.

    Mrs. Smith was 84 years old and was born and reared in Houston County, Texas where at the age of 15 years was converted and joined the Baptist church. She was married to K.S. (sic) Smith about 88 years ago and together theyfaced the many difficult problems that confronted the settlers of the early days in Texas.

    About 49 years ago they moved to this county and settled near Bruceville and 14 years later Mr. Smith died leaving her witha large family and to fight life's battle alone.

    Courageous, putting her faith in God, faithful to her church, and a friend to humanity, she succeeded in rearing her children to be useful men and women,

    The funeral service was held by Rev. G.W. Cook at the Baptist church at Bruceville and she was laid to rest by the side of her campion inthe Cox Cemetery.

    She was the mother of eleven children and the seven living are: Mrs. Tom Adams, Childress; Mrs. R.L. Simmons, Katy, Okla; Mrs. John Baugh, Eddy; Mrs. W.A. Moore, Moody; Mrs. Low Ingram, Bruceville; Mrs. A.S. Taylor, Waco; J.E. Smith, Bruceville.

    The pall bearers were: Bruce, Chas. and Joel Kincannon, all of Bruceville, and Messrs, Langley, Long and Dillworth, all of Eddy.

    Card of Thanks.
    We Wish to express to the good people of Eddy and that community our sincere thanks and appreciations for the knidness shown us during the illness and death of our dear mother, Mrs. Martha Frances Smith, and for the beauitful flowers we also thank you.

    Our hearts are full of gratitude to the neighbors and friends of Mrs. W.A. Moore who were so thoughtful and kind.

    May God's richest blessing rest upon one and all.

    Mrs. W.A. Moore,
    Brothers and Sisters.
