Thanks to the many Cousins that helped put this report together with their research and willingness to share with the rest of us. Without their help it would have taken me years to compile all this data on this Very Large Family. There is much more on many of the families which has not been included in this report due to space and privacy, this is only 6 of the 12 generations. Family members may contact me for the Full Story. Thanks to Donna Jean (Frazier) Freshour who gave me the bulk of information, and all of the Family Contacts who shared with her. And although I have not communicated with them personally, to Ginger (Fann) Hedererwho posted herinformation to the Ancestry World Trees and to Judith Hass who contributed research information to the Fann Mailing List, my Sincere appreciation to you for sharing. There is some question that all of the children listed for John Fann 1^st and Margaret Unknown are truly their children, I am going tolist them, based on the evidence of probability that they are indeed their children.I have researched some of this information but not all of it as of this date. My connection to this Fann Family is through Daughter Catherine Fann who married Obediah McBee and I have sound and solid information on that Family. Additions and Corrections are welcome.

The latter procured the land, but lost it though bad management, in consequence of which his nephew was forced to look for a new tract.He settled in what is now known as Jefferson Township, on two hundred acres of land, now occupied by Eli Parrett, purchasing but fifty acres at first, and exchanging his wagon for the same.Fent's wife died about the year 1816 and he survived until 1835.

Elnora: I'm sorry to say, our courthouse was burned in 1865 and only a few records were saved. We don't know which side (Union or Confederate) to blame for it.

The land survey books were not in the courthouse and I checked and found the following info.:Survey Book #1 Robert Walker...Entry #670...15 June 1821...50acres...Spring Creek R12-S3...Warrant #428 Issued to Robert Walker by John Armstrong...Surveyor George Peery...Chain Carriers Obidiah McBee, William McBee.There is no other listing for them so they did not have land surveyed. I'm sure you have the 1820 census listing:Megby, Obeddiah 100101-22101. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Sincerely, Mary B.

From the Perry Co., Web Page History:

Perry County Court Records

The first courts were held at the house of James Dixon and then moved to that of Mr. Barry on Tom Creek.

In 1821, the county seat was established at Perryville on the west bank of the Tennessee River. The first courthouse in Linden was made of logs. It was replaced in 1849-1850 with a frame building. This building was burned along with its records during the Civil War. Only the records housed in offices not at the courthouse were saved.

PERRY CO., TN: Available today are: Chancery Court beginning 1854, Circuit Court Minutes beginning in 1834,County Court Minutes beginning in 1865,Deeds beginning in 1844, Marriage Records beginning in 1865, and Probate Records beginning in 1847.

> Hooray! Peeking through a chink in an old brick wall, I think I've found a flood of relatives! Obediah McBee's 3rd child, Catherine, b 1804-1809 you list as married to William Taggart on 26 February, 1827 in Hardeman County, TN. I submit that his name is really Tacket.William McBee and William C. Tacket lived next door to each other in the 1830 Census of Hardeman County. In 1833, William C. Tacket and wife Catherine gave birth to my great-grandmother, Sarah Ann, in McNairy county. There they lived near Isaac and Mariah Richardson, whose second son, Solomon, was born there in 1831. Both families moved to Mississippi, and Solomon and Sarah were married in Tishomingo County 6 Oct. 1853. Sarah's baby brother, Elias Frank Tacket, b. 1851, named his first child William McBee Tacket. What are the odds?? I have much information about the descendants of William and Catherine, and a photo of Sarah Ann. I hope we can get together.

Dear Mrs. Wyrick,

I have researched your question in a six volume set of books that we have that outline marriages statewide prior to the year 1861. These volumes are divided by region of the state, East, Middle, and West, and devote one volume each to grooms and one to brides. I am sorry to say that William McBee was not listed as McBee, Macbee, Megby, McBey, Mockbee or Mockby in any region of the state. I am sorry I was not able to be of more assistance. Good luck in your research.Sincerely, Jobeth Stewart, Library Assistant II

"William H McBee-Commissioner",from a Book:"A Part of the Lord's Big Garden-Kaufman County's Early Years" by DR Horace P Flatt,page 48;"...Cedar grove was the largest and most prosperous town in the county and furnished Kaufman County its first sheriff & clerk. It was the first part of the county settled.In 1848, I believe it was, Captain Moore, the father of Hardin & John Moore, settled on Duck Creeknear here, and the same year William H McBee, Adam Sullivan & William Gibbard located their Headright certificate here & laid out the town of Cedar grove. There was at that time a large grove of tall cedars inside what is now Gibbard's field, which gave the name to the town. But like the Cedars of Lebanon they have long ago disappeared. There was at that time a dozen or more families this side of the Sabine.

Two of his sons, William Newton and Silas P.at least one of his daughters, Rebecca and his first "Wife, ourG-Grandmother", (are all assumed to be buried there). His daughter Nancy Jane and her husband Daniel Scroggins, and their family are buried in the Oakland Memorial Park Cemetery, Terrell, Kaufman Co., TX).From the deeds I have investigated, Members of his family owned land in one or both counties as late as 1883, and probably much later than that, as I have not investigated past that date.

William H. McBee wasprominent in the establishment of and helping to settle both Kaufman and Van Zandt Counties in east Texas;There was a creek, a school and (**as of Sept 2000, now know that there is also an Hill or Ridge) named for him, he is reported to be the first in Van Zandt County to build a Grist Mill, and first in Kaufman County to build a Storehouse.

Subject: Re: McBee School-Cemetery

Hi John and Elnora:

Yes I grew up in the area mentioned. I started to school in the McBee School house in 1931. It was a two room, two teacher school and covered grades one through 9. I attended there through sixth grade. They reduced to a ONE TEACHER SCHOOL because of economic conditions. I transferred to the Wills Point School and graduated there. They taughtat McBee until the early 1940.s (probably 1941) and the school district merged with Wills Point.

It was a mixed up community. The School was MCBEE and adjoining the School was the Union Grove Cemetery. About l mile north was the Palmer Grove Church (a Methodist Church).

I never knew where the name McBee came from. It was the custom in early East Texas to name the school for someone who gave the land for the school. It was a large school ground, about 2 acres as I remember. BUT it has been a long time.

*** I misstated the location in my posting and posted a correction this morning. It is only 1 1/2 mile west-northwest of Union Grove.

I moved away from that area in 1952. My Mother and Father lived there until their death. My Sister still lives there. I have a picture of the STUDENT BODY OF 1930 taken in front of the school. I have scanned it and it is attached. Also the list of students (most names) You can not tell much about the building

The old building was torn down years ago and there is some sort of a tabernacle located where the building was. It is for funerals and memorial service. They have a memorial service there each spring. I do not remember the date but could find out if you are interested. You might search the names in the Union Grove Cemetery to see if you can find family there. I do not know, but it would guess that McBEE also gave the land for the Cemetery.

I do not have a survey map of Van Zandt County to locate the land your GF owned. I called Gordon Mott, the one holding the ball in the picture to ask him about the cemetery but he was not at home. I will call him this evening. He has lived all his life within a mile of the location indicated on the map. If he knows anything I will send you a follow-up. My sister is the one holding the sign. I hope you find this interesting and helpful.Sincerely, Don Blasingame

Hello Don,

Thank you so very much for the picture and additional information about the McBee School. I knew there was a McBee School, but not as much as you did, and I knew about the Creek, and of course just learned where the Family cemetery/graveyard was. I did not know about McBee Hill/Ridge though, I do have an Original Land Grant/Patent Map, which shows where my GGGFather's land was, it is divided almost exactly in half by the Kaufman and Van Zandt County Line, his Cemetery is just inside the VZ County side, adjoins land originally owned by Adam Sullivan, Harrison Blevins and William Gibbard.

Wm. H McBee was an original County Commissioner for Kaufman Co and had to resign because he made his home in VZ County. He helped establish the Union Grove Community and for a long time I thought he was buried there, some of the VZ Co History books even said he was buried there, but he was not listed there and when I found out about the Family Graveyard I realized he must have been buried in it, may never know for sure where he is buried if we can't find some kind of family records as there are no inscriptions on any of the stones in the Family Site.

Would you have any objections to posting the picture and list of students and your description of location and information about it, on the VZ Co., Gen Web Page? I believe that it would be welcome by many, and would enhance the page greatly.

Again, Thank you Very, Very Much, All of your information was most interesting and helpful. I look forward to any updates you can provide, and hopefully your permission to post the picture.

Subject: MCBEES IN VAN ZANDT COUNTY

You may already be aware of this but I found that WILLIAM N. MCBEE also had a 320 acre land grant which was assigned to PETER KARBER on 30 November 1852.

I am pleased at the prospect that the MCBEE SCHOOL picture will be posted on the Society Web Site.

I am not sure how much history you have on the school. My information is limited to my recollections. I offer the following for your consideration.

The McBee School was located in the UNION GROVE COMMUNITY about 3 1/2 miles north-northwest of Wills Point. It was a "TWO TEACHER SCHOOL".In one room a teacher taught grades one through four and in the other room a teacher taught grades five through 8.By observation,you spent 4 years in each grade.

My sister Maxine started school there in1931 and I started there in 1932. This was during the "great depression" and some years we only had 5 months of school. The economic conditions continued to take their toll, and about 1936 it was reduced to a "one teacher school". This meant that one teacher taught 7 grades in one room. My father, Vernon Blasingame,served as a trustee for several years, They sometimes had School Board meetings at our home .I remember overhearing the discussions about the problems in financing the school. It was serious business and a responsibility that everyone was serious about.

In 1938, Maxine had to transfer to Wills Point High School in order to continue her education. My parents also transferred me and both she and I finished our public school education there.

School was taught at McBee until sometime in the early 1940's. Economic conditions improved, roads were improved and schools began furnishing bus transportationwhich began the consolidation of the Common Schools into Independent Schools.

In looking back, these schools were simple in many ways, but, I remember it as a great opportunity to associate with children of different ages and as I said above,to actually be exposed to higher grades and to review the lower grade work as you advanced. Discipline was strict and corporal punishment was administered fairly but without hesitation in warranted cases. Not only did you get a spanking at school, but you got another when you reached home. I have never been able to detect that this strict"code of conduct"and the accountability that was required for infractions, has been a deterrentto mygrowth development in any way.

Iremember fondly the teachers and the students that wehad the opportunity to be associated with in this RURAL SCHOOL almost 70 years ago.

In going through some family historygiven to me by a cousin in Wills Point, I found a history of CEDAR GROVE, now a community west of Wills Point but at one time a town(There is also a cemetery there with graves well over 100 years old). I found references to Mc. McBEE and his part in the founding of that town.I thought you might not have the story. So I am attaching it.When I contacted him for his permission to share it with you, hesent a picture made of the 1930 student body and faculty at McBee. The youngsters identified are my first cousins.I have been unable to identify the others. WhenMaxine,my sister in the first picture, comes down later this week I will see if she can help me identify more of the persons pictured.If so, I will send you a list. We may yet put together a fair history ofMcBee School.Do you have a record of when it was founded?

Notes for ELIZABETH ADALINE CORGAN:

30 September 1998: Information received from, (lookup for Kaufman Co., TX Marriage Records; by Justin Sanders) Results;" Levi Panis & Mrs. Elizabeth A. McBee, 27 Dec 1852, It is listed this way in both the Kaufman Co., Gen. Soc. and the Mesquite Gen. Soc. publications.My understanding is that the date is the date of the marriage as given on the minister's return, rather than the date that the license was issued." The date of 5 December 1852 was given to me by another researcher (Elaine Bay) doing a lookup, which she found in the record books at the County Court House, she thought the names was "Levi Puniz", but said it was very hard to read. Recorded by Elnora Frances Cook-Wyrick

20 May 1999: Email from Justin Sanders, Researcher in Kaufman Co., TX;

Elnora,

I had the opportunity recently to look over the Kaufman Co tax rolls for the 1850's and 1860's, and noticed a few names that you will likely be interested in.One thing that had bothered me about the marriage of W.H. McBee's widow Elizabeth to Levi Panis in Kaufman Co was his last name-- it is so strange that I've had a strong suspicion that it was a misreading of the handwritten marriage record.I think now that it should be Perry or Pevey.

Pavy, Levy: poll only

In the transcribed 1850 Census of Kaufman Co, Dwell/Fam 274/275 (John J. Beck head of household) there is a Levy Perry, age 25, b Indiana.I'll bet he's your Levi Panis.I'll further speculate that the transcriber read the last name wrong, and that it should be "Pevy".No Perry, Pevy or (of course) Panis in the 1860 Census of Kaufman Co.

I do not find this couple in Kaufman or Van Zandt Co., 1860-1900;

I don't have access to an 1870 Census Index for Texas (although one exists), so my search had to stop there.Looks like my hunch about the Levi's last name, based on the tax rolls, was correct.Justin M. Sanders

Notes for WILLIAM NEWTON MCBEE:

William Newton McBee, born in (probably) Hardeman County, TN in 1832, arrived in TX with his parents

in 1834, he receives 406 acres from original Land Grant of his father William H McBee who died in 1852.

By April 1854 William Newton McBee died intestate, at the age of about 22 years of age, leaving no wife or issue, his land is divided between his brothers and sisters. I believe William Newton McBee is buried in the McBee Graveyard, located on the original Home place.

Audit appearing to the satisfaction of the Court that the legal notices had been given and no objection filed and after examining said account is shown that there is yet the remaining in the hands of said Administrator the sum ofSix Hundred Eighty Seven . 61/100Dollars subject to distribution.

It is therefore ordered that the said account be audited and settled and the same be recorded, whereupon the Court preceded to hear the proof and ascertained who is entitled as heirs at law to said estate and it is found that;

John G. McBee, Rebecca Roberts and Nancy Jane Scroggins and Robert McBee are the Brothers and Sistersof the said Wm. N. McBee, deceased.

The said John G. McBee, Rebecca Roberts and Nancy Jane Scroggins are of the full Blood and Robert McBee is of half blood and entitled to said Estate according to relationship to wit;

John G. McBee is entitled to One Hundred Ninety six . 46/100 Dollars.

The heirs of Rebecca Roberts is entitled to One Hundred Ninety six. 46/100 Dollars.

Nancy Jane Scroggins is entitled to one hundred ninety six. 46/100 Dollars and

Robert McBee entitledto Ninety Eight. 23/100 Dollars.This distributes shares of the Estate of William N. McBee, deceased.$196.46 + $196.46 + $196.46 + $98.23 = $687. 61

This gives us the proof we needed that William Newton McBee was also the son ofWilliam H. McBee;** Silas P McBee the other full blood Brother had also died in 1857 leaving no issue.**

Notes for SILAS P MCBEE:

Due to theknown information about William H McBee’shistory, here is my assumptionsabout Silas P. McBee.No records have been found of exact birth or death dates or locations, but it is my opinion that Silas P. McBee was born in 1837 and died sometime before 1854, (* based on the fact he is not named in the Distribution and Partition of the Estate of his brother William Newton McBee in 1854-1859). William Newton McBee is not mentioned in the Distribution and Partition of Silas P McBee's land either;

Silas P McBee was approximately 17 years old, when he died on or near the land his Father settled on in Van Zandt County, TX.Silas is also probably buried in theMcBee Family Graveyard.No records of a marriage have been found for Silas before he died. None of the records so far have given us a hint of what the(P) stands for in his name;

Received 12 November 1996 from Van Zandt Co., Probate records dated 1857, for a"Silas P McBee", ofV.Z. Co., TX,for the Partition and Distribution ofhis property(which states waspart of the original Land Grant of William H McBee",)and based on the amount of funds and land distributed to each, I believe to be his Full Brother, "John G. McBee", [200 acres+ $312 .4/7 cents] his Half Brother, "Robert McBee",[100 acres+$156. 2/7cents] and his two Full Sisters, "Nancy J Scroggins, [200 acres+$312. 4/7cents] and the heirs of Rebecca Roberts", [200 acres+$312. 4/7cents].

The map drawn on the original "Partition and Distribution" isturned upside down, according to the actual Original Land Grant Map in my possession and the records of deeds and actual location of the McBee Graveyard that is known today. A corrected copy ofhand drawn map is included in files.

The amount of land (700 acres) in Silas' Probate indicates a division of William H McBee's original land between his six (6) children would indicate (approximately 700 acres each).4680 acres divided by 6= approximately 700 acres each, (if divided evenly between the Heirs).

Hello,

Finally got to the courthouse. All the old District records are stored in a vault on the first floor. There are at least 8 more pages concerning Bobs problem. I copiedthe judgement pages. Send me your address and I will send them off to you. When I go back again, I plan to read all the pages and take notes . Perhaps there are details included. You are right about there being 2 separate judgements. The newspaper was a no-go. No records at all for the dates I needed. Perhaps there was another paper to cover the Lampasas area. Can't think of any other town aroundthat would be large enough to have a significant paper. I said I live in Lampasas Co...well not really. My mailing address in Lampasas Co(Kempner)..but I live in Coryell Co. Go Figure!Ann

ROBERT MCBEE, CRIMINAL CASE SUMMARY;FROM RECORDS IN LAMPASAS CO., TX;

From Ann Wise; 21 Jan 2002

28 Sep 1 877....cases #571,572, 573 came up on Court Docket.

28 Mar 1878...3 cases of "intent to murder" continued by agreement

26 Sep 1878..McBee did not show up at courthouse for appearance.Wm Crabtree and Thomas Horrell put up the bond for him ($250). His name was called from the door of the courthouse, 3 times in a loud voice. The sureties did not show up either to produce McBee to the court. There were 3 charges of "intent to murder". Since all the charges were written separately, I would assume that it was $250 per charge. Anyway, there was a forfeit.

In the volume #4 records book, Tom Horrell., Sam Horrell, and Martin Horrell are very involved. Tom had several charges of intent to murder and lots of other stuff.On 12 Nov 1879, many charges were dropped against Tom Horrell because the defendant was dead. Soundslike a troubled family situation. Since he put up bond for Bob, I would assume that Bob was definitely running in the wrong circles.

14 May1879...Alias Capras ordered and cause continued on all 3 cases. I have no clue what "Alias Capras" is.Perhaps he could not be found to have him appear.

13 Nov. 1879...Case # 571...Mcbee came to court but could not afford a lawyer. Asked for a continuance but was rejected.A lawyer was appointed. He plead not guilty. The jury was unable to agree and a mistrialwas ordered .

14 Nov 1879..case #572...went to court and was found "not guilty."

20 Nov 1879...case # 573…continued by agreement.

17 May 1880...case#571...motion for new trial was overruled.

Still no clue as to what Bob actually did to deserve prison time. Surely there are some sort of records telling about the details of the case. Maybe someone can tell me more next tune I go. The clerks are nice enough but just don’t want to go out of their way.Enjoy..Ann

Subject: Re: Prison Records 1880; Bob McBee

Dear Ms. Cook-Wyrick:

I am responding to your recent request to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission concerning Bob McBee.I have checked the convict ledgers in our posession for information on this individual. there is indeed an entry for him.The information from the index is as follows:Year: 1880- Convict number: 8719---Name: Bob McBee----- County: Lampasas

His crime appears to be "Assault to Murder".The handwriting is rather difficult to read.I checked the distribution of offenses in the Biennial Report of the Texas State Penitentiary for 1880-1882, and this seems to be the closest match.There also seems to be two counts of this offense.His sentence was four years, of which he served about three months, as he was killed while trying to escape.

Unfortunately, there is no birth date given beyond a statement of his age, nor is there place of birth more precise than "Texas".His parents are not mentioned, and his Marital Relations are listed as "none".This does not mean he was never married, just that he was not married at the time.He could also have lied.Prison inmates are not the most honest of characters.

These records are available to the public, but must be used onsite.The Archives collection of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.Directions and a map are available on our website: http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/agency/visit.html#lorenzo

I can send you a transcription of the data we have that can be attributed to this particular individual, though you may benefit from attempting to translate the handwriting for yourself.Illegible words or symbols will be copied as they appear in the ledgers.I regret to inform you these ledgers cannot be photocopied, due to their age, fragility, and sheer size.The cost for this service will be only $1.00 to cover the postage and copies of the transcription forms.I will also send back the SASE.Our usual charges are 10 cents per page for photocopies plus postage if the copies are to be mailed, with a minimum charge of $1.00 for items which are to be mailed.

If you would like me to send you the transcribed information, simply send an affirmative reply to this email and include the text of this message. I hope you will find this information helpful.

Son Henry who would have been 14 years old is not listed with this family and is not found on the 1860 on the Kaufman or Van Zandt Co., TX census,(checked all spellings).

5 April 1999: I have not been able to find a marriage record for Rebecca McBee and Peter Karber; I have looked in Hunt, Henderson and Kaufman; also in some other resource books I own. Marriage to James Roberts is confirmed by, Kaufman County Marriage Records, Bk 1: per Justin Sanders; 12 March 1999.

Henry & Jasper Karber were put under the guardianship of Daniel Scroggins on Jan 29, 1855, per Kaufman Co Probate record NCN315, recorded in Book 1, pages 55, 56, 132, 133, 134-

Also- Henry Scroggins was made executor ofRebecca Roberts estate on 24 Oct 1854, so that gives you an idea of when she died & it also tells you that James was dead by then or he would have been the executor- Probate File #133, in Book 1- Pges 55, 57, 59, 60, 62, 74, 91-97, 101-102, 105, 120, 138 & 150.According to this, she had a will-would you like me to look?I find nothing on James Roberts probate.

Henry Scroggins died in 1859 & Daniel W Scoggin was executor of his estate-probate file # 396, Book 1- on 57 pages!! Must have been a good-sized estate!Kathey

Elnora,

1869: B - (land owned in other counties)Karbert, Henry: 200 WH McBee $200, Van Zandt. There were no Karbers/Carbers in the 1870 or 1871 tax rolls, so they probably moved about 1869/70.

Recorded by Elnora Frances Cook-Wyrick

Notes for PETER KARBER:

Peter Karber held an original land grant Leag Section#403 Abs #268 in Kaufman Co., TX;his land was several miles west of the Van Zandt County Line and was retained by his sons for many years after his and Rebecca's death.

WILLIAM N. MCBEE also had a 320 acre land grant Leag Section#412 Abs #337 in Kaufman Co., TX, which was assigned to PETER KARBER on 30 November 1852..That land also retained by Sons and heirs of Rebecca & Peter Karber and Nephews of Wm. N. McBee. The taxes for the land was paid at one time by a John Karber who lived in Madison Co., TX.John also executed 2 deeds for 2 pieces of the land originally left to Henry and Jasper (by their Grandfather William H. McBee) as heirs of Rebecca McBee their Mother.

This John is much older than Jasper would have been and served in the Civil War, I do not believe it is our Jasper, using the name John.

12 August 1999:Elizabeth O Reeves-McBee filed for divorce from John Garvin McBee, on23rd of November 1858, in Kaufman Co., TX.The Petition claims that John Garvin abandoned her and their child Narcissa Jane in March 1850 when Narcissa was 14 months old, (*see note below) leaving them destitute and without making arrangements for their support.She further states "To her sad surprise", she has been informed and so she charges he "John Garvin McBee" has been living in the State of California with another woman, in total disregard to his marriage vows. The petition claims she has no separate propertyout of which to support herself and their child, and she asks the court to award her enoughof the propertyleft to John Garvin McBee by his father "William H McBee" deceased, that she will be fully remuneratedfor her toil, and trouble of raising their said child.She further asks for guardianship of the said Child, and prays that the Bonds of Matrimony between herself and the Defendant to be "Annulled and adjudged Void".

Per copies of Case #346, filed 23 November 1858, with Final Decree issued 24 May 1860; received from Kaufman County Dist. Clerk, and Terrell Historical Society, Terrell, Texas.See entire case transcribed and stored in file of John Garvin and Elizabeth O Reeves-McBee.(**Note- John Garvin McBee appears on the 1850 Census of Kaufman Co., TX, dated 17th day of October 1850; living at dwelling#341 with Elizabeth O, child Narcissa J., and probably Elizabeth's brother William C Reeves, therefore it is my opinion that, since Elizabeth claims Narcissa Jane was 14 months old when John Garvin left, the date had to be in March of 1851 instead of March 1850. I also believe he went to California because of the Gold Rush in 1849. ** )Recorded by Elnora Frances Cook-Wyrick

TO JOHN ANDREW JACKSON MCBEE

DATED:APRIL 29, 1934 FROM ATOKA,OK.

Mr Jack McBee:

Dear Son and family, I will try to drop you a few lines to let you know how we are.This leaves all up but not well.I have the kidney trouble so bad I can't rest at night or day.The rest is over the measles, they have fell in Charley's legs to some extent.Raleigh is still cutting cord wood, he is about 8 miles from home. They commence delivery Friday-it takes all he makes to feed him.Our third crop, it is so cold they can't grow, and we haven't got much planted,Charley get along awful slow, (?) (?) alongand only 1 mule to plow. I have not had a letter from any of the girls in over a month. Well I got the 2 dollars and was glad to get it.My foot is still sore.I have got to where I can't see my bills don't at once in a week.We have the hiway in front of our door and a saw mill too. I don't get any help from the relief at all. Tell all the rest hello write soon.Your Mother, M.F. McBee**Transcribed by: Elnora Frances Cook-Wyrick

July 1996:Notes handwritten by John Andrew Jackson, claim that "The McBee Clan",emigrated from Scotland, "The White Clan"from France, and "The Pyles Clan"from Ireland.

May 1996: As reported by Della May (Jean) McBee-Ramsey, Margaret Francis White-McBee and John Garvin McBee had a total of 7 children, the last being a female "Ruthie Rebecca McBee" who was born in 1897or 1898 and died (date unknown).This claim is supported by the U.S. Census for 1900 shows proof of a female child of this age at that time, listed as their daughter named "Ruthie".This is further supported by statement made by Rosie Leeonia McBee-Cook in 1993, on and audio tape made with me regarding Family History. Recorded by Elnora Frances Cook-Wyrick.

22 February 1997: Received from Carter Co., OK, U.S. Census record of 1910, listing Margaret F. as head of house, age 57, a widow, born in Alabama, mother of (8)children with (6) still living, and her youngest son, Raleigh D. age 21 years,born in TX.The Child Ruthie that was listed on the 1900 Census obviously died between 1900 and 1910, I have no knowledge of the other child. The 1900 Census also lists that she was the mother of (8) with (7) living children. Recorded by Elnora Frances Cook-Wyrick.

10 March 1997:Deed (Vol. 37 page 465)dated 27 June 1877, VZ Co., TX., shows Margaret Francis McBee, of Jack Co., TX purchasing property from Thomas and Mary E White, and appears to be giving up further claim to their estate as a result of that purchase.Additional deed copies have been requested to explore the entire picture of exactly happened and perhaps additional family members.

CORRECTION- I gave you N G Ballard's death date as that of his son.According to transcribed Bible records from teh B M Ballard Bible John Mc - son of NG - died 29 Jun 1849acording to the Bible N G died 13 Jan 1845, however, I have found in the Nacogdoches records his death date was 1849. (this could be a transcription error)We know he was still alive because his daughter was born 1847 andhe filed for a brand in Henderson County in 1848, so he couldn't have been dead.... Kathey

From Obit:Drowned in the Deepfork of Canadian River on Sac and Fox Agency Oklahoma Territory on Jan 21st 1894, Gustus P. Tyson, age 23 years 1 month and 8 days and wife age 20 years 11 months and 3 days.Mrs Tyson was a daughter of our esteeme d citizen, Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Fann of Raymore Township.Both parties were well and favorably known here, having lived in Greenwood, Jackson County, Missouri, where Mr. Tyson was engaged in teaching school, which profession he followed unti l death.Two years ago, he secured a position in an agency school in the territory.Last fall himself and wife paid his parents, relatives and friends in Missouri quite a lengthy visit enjoying themselves greatly.At the beginning of this winte r's term he was transferred to another government school at his own request, where his wife was beginning to assist him in his school work among Indian boys and girls, acting the part we dare say of true missionaries. Mr Tyson's parents liv e at co*ckrell, Missouri.The circ*mstances connected with this event are as follows:A Miss Minnie Chapman, Mr. F.N. Thackery, Mr. G.P. Tyson and wife, all accompanied by an Indian boy started across the country in a spring wagon after a littl e Indian girl.Arriving at the above named river 8 miles from the Agency, they found the stream greatly swollen.The Indian boy remarked in his peculiar dialect,_"water deep."They parleyed a moment and drove in. The horses at once were compel led to swim.They were panic stricken. The water rose over the wagon bed.Miss Chapman said let us jump and swim.The Indian boy jumped out, swam ashore and succeeded with the aid of a pole in rescuing Mr. Thackery.Mrs. Tyson being an exper t swimmer, while her husband was a cripple, made a noble effort to save him by throwing her right arm around his waist and swimming with her left.They went under twice together but the second time they had separated; both sank out of sight.Alt hough the Agency is sixty miles from a railroad, Mr. Fan was at once notified by a telegram of the sad event.Miss Chapman's body was found that night (Sunday); Mr. Tyson's body Tuesday. Rev. Tyson, father of the young man arrived at the agenc y late on the following Saturday evening and at once organized a search party and began the next morning to search for the body of Mrs. Tyson in which they succeeded at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon almost 150 yards below where the accident occurr ed.The bodies were taken to the Agency where the ladies prepared them for burial in a most appropriate and touching manner.The funeral exercises were conducted by an Indian Baptist minister, after which the remains were interred side by sid e in one wide grave - there to rest from their unfinished labors until the resurrection morn, when the faithful shall come forth to receive the reward reserved for the pure in heart.The bereaved parents and relatives have the generous sympath y of the entire community in their peculiarly sad affection.

Notes for LUCY CATHERINE RICKER:

Information provided by Clarence & Jean (Frazier) Freshour;

Lucy Ricker Freshour married Will when she was still 15 years old in 1915.They moved into the log house in Greene County which had been Abrahams..He had died the year before.She worked along side of Will, gardening, and canning.She canned thousands of jars of produce and shared generously with her children.She was very proud of her children.She made beautiful quilts both pieced and embroidered, and when I entered two quilts in the state fair, she won a blue ribbon for one and a red ribbon for the other.she was really pleased;but she would not have entered them herself. she made a quilt for each grandchild and several for each of her children.

Lucy and Will moved from Greene County to Knox County in 1918.They remained in Knox County, except for a few years in Rockwood, Roane County, during the 1940's.After Will's death, Lucy lived alone in Corryton, with her garden, quilting and jigsaw puzzles until she lost her sight.Afterwards she made her home with her youngest daughter, Jessie. Many of the children and grandchildren have inherited their curly hair from Lucy.Her grandchildren delighted in the breakfasts of biscuits and gravy which she made for them when they visited her.She was buried on the day before her 94th birthday after a long illness.

Notes for WILLIAM M. FRESHOUR:

Will Freshour was a self-taught, self-made man.He grew up under difficult conditions.Orphaned at an early age, he is listed on the 1900 census as five years old, living as a ward of Mary Bower's (relative). On the 1910 census he is liste d as grandson of John Freshour (1828-1925), included in this family listing is his Uncle John.We know now that they were really his great grandfather and great uncle.since his great grandfather was an old man by this time he was mostly raised by his uncle.Will spoke rarely of his childhood.His son's need to know more was the beginning of our search.By family tradition we knew that his father was Ben Jackson.We did not know his mother's name, only that he had always lived with and was known as a Freshour.

After many days of searching old records, talking with anyone who might have information, and following up every lead, we had made pretty good guesses as to whom we were seeking, but we could find no documentation. We knew that Will had a half-si ster in Asheville, N.C. but since we could not locate her we believed that she had died.She would have been in her nineties when we started this search.she had last written Lucy Freshour in the 1980's.Clarence's sister, Jessie, was searchin g for clues in Lucy's papers and found a name written in Lucy's Bible, Vini Myers.Knowing that the half-sister and Will had the same mother and thinking this might be her maiden name, we searched for a Vini Myers and found documentation tha t we needed to confirm that Will's mother was Emma Freshour, daughter of Abraham and Virginia and granddaughter of John and Rebecca Freshour.

Will was a farmer most of his life.Later he worked on construction and was still working until just before his final illness at 74.He was good at many things, including preparing the best country hams you have ever eaten.Considering his ow n upbringing, he did a very good job of raising his own children.They each have great respect for their father.I remember him as always being very fair and just.Our son remembers that he had the largest hands of anyone he had ever seen.

Several have asked what the middle initial "M" stands for in Will's name.It doesn't stand for anything, since most people have a middle name; Will made up his own initial.

Will's death was caused by cancer. (written by Clarence Freshour)

This census does not give relationship to Head of House or place of birth for Parents.

Elnora,At the risk of repeating myself, in case your CAMERONS migrated (albeit it by way of MO!) with the CAINS and JOHNSONS, I know that they (CAINs and JOHNSONS) were ultimately from Lunenberg/Brunswick County area of VA, and that there was a well-known CAMERON preacher there around the 1770's.Johnson Stationwas owned by Middlteon Tate JOHNSON, grandson of Rowland JOHNSON and MillieHAWKINS.Rowland was a Rev. War vet from Lunenberg.Even though your Bill was born in MO, I know there were branches of the JOHNSONS, cousins of M.T.,who went through west TN (Gibson/Henderson/Carroll area) before coming to TX, and certainly were close to MO to have migrated there before hitting the Lone Star State.Zou Feagin

cindy just gave a post card that she found from1909 it is to Mollie Grider it does not say much but it is from someone called bessie and they are from sugar city ID. I have no clue but they call her aunt mollie I think it might be on the cameron side because it was addressed to her. and it was when mollie lived in nampa. talk to you later. James

The family below is probably John D's family,William was married to Annie May Derr in 1897 and listed as a widow, with his parents on the 1900 census. Charley would be too young to be the father of the children or husband of Ella. Due to the "Post Card"mentioned above- I believe this is more than likely the family of John D Cameron. **EFW**

Subject: Re: Mollie May Cameron

Elnora,

Joseph Marion McKissick was born January 26, 1856, in Madison Township, Fremont County, Iowa.He died February 19, 1932 in Yakima.I got a lot of this information from my cousin, Charlotte Gifford's, website on the McKissick family.I did get his name from my great-grandmother's SS-5, and other sources, so I'm sure that the M stands for Marion.Anyway, he and Mollie were married July 27, 1918, in Yakima Co., Washington.I'm pretty sure that Dick was born after they were married, so his birth date is 1919.I'm also fairly certain that I have my gg-grandfather and Mollie Cameron's marriage certificate in my files.My aunt told me that Dick McKissick, my great-grandmother's half-brother, played football and had his picture on the cover of a magazine (she thinks Time maybe?) back in the late 30's or 40's.I haven't been able to find that, but I would imagine that someone in his more immediate family would have a copy.I'd like to see it.Dick and Joseph David were aunt's uncles and she thought they were quite handsome young men.Doris

Notes for ROBERT F. CAMERON:

Found on Internet site with photos of all the headstones in "Johnson Station Cemetery", Tarrant Co., TX,

a pix of headstone for Robert F Cameron, I believe it is our Robert F Cameron, location and dates match. There is also one for a woman, "Lady Rowena Cameron" on a stone with the same design (except) for the "Mason-emblem", whocould have been his wife. Birth dates put him 31 yrs older than her and she lived 32 yrs longer than he did without remarrying so I cannot be sure without better documentation.

I have not been successful in finding any Robert F Cameron on a census as yet.

RING PAWNED FOR START:

Two Boys Fruit Stand dates back to July 1930, when Marvin was 18 years old. Quitting his job to start a fruit stand the high school student persuaded his mother to pawn her diamond ring for $50. to finance the initial undertaking.He rented a shacky stand south of Union Gap for $15. a month.It's only equipment was a rusty scales.Assisted by his brother, Andrew, 16, and George Skone, Marvin operated the stand for a month and each of the boys, cleared $400.When school was out the following spring they improved their stand and continued success following .

BUSINESS GROWS RAPIDLY:

In 1932, the two boys, 18 and 20 years of age, induced their mother, who was clerking in Yakima to join them in an expansion of their business. They built a fruit stand and lunch counterof nine stools on the present site(?) north of the Union Gap.Mrs Berry operated the lunch room.The following fall they purchased more property and doubled their floor space and added a grocery department.In three yearsthey had spent $45,000for fruit and vegetable stand, cafe of 70 chairs, grocery store and large produce warehouse.All was paid in full at the end of the fourth year.

WHOLESALE FIELD ENTERED

As the stand was a summer business, Marvin first entered wholesale produce selling to give him a year around job.He moved to California in April, 1940, and has been successful there.Two Boys moved to town in 1935, opening a grocerystore which grossed $3600 in receipts on the opening day.It was sold at a profit in five months.Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Berry and two children and his mother leave next week-end for California.They came to Yakima in 1927" ****End of Article:

John Andrew Jackson McBee; (Jack)was born in Jack County, Texas in 1877, on the land his father homesteaded in 1884, remaining there until late 1890s when the entire family moved to Indian Territory,the area now known asCarter County, OK. In 1901 he met and marriedEmma Akin Lee-Luster, a young mother with a 2 year old son, William Mirt Luster Sr. (Big Bill) as he was called.Jack was the only member of his family to move to the Texas Panhandle.

JAJ (Jack) and Emma McBee, arrived in Carson Co., TXin the late 1920s, to find work in the Oil Fields that were beginning to open up there. They lived in Skellytown, from then untilleaving to follow their daughter Rosie and her family to California in 1941-1942, and lived in the city of Fowler, California until their deaths.

He lived one day past his 96th birthday.

Soon after moving to Skellytown, Big Bill’s wife died, leaving two young sons, Robert Lee (Bob) and William Mirt Jr (Little Bill) Luster. Grandparents, Jack and Emma helped Big Bill with the boys until leaving in 1942.Big Bill and son Little Bill had joined the US Army about that time, both serving honorably in WWII.

I do not know how much formal education my Grandfatherhad, but he appeared to have learned a great deal by himself.He could read and write well, even learning to type on an early "Underwood" typewriter, which is still in Family possession.

He served as Justice of the Peace for Precinct #6 of Carson Co., TX.TheCertificate,signed by the Gov. of Texas at the time,"W. Daniel", and the Secretaryof State, "F Beauchamp", (spelling?), isdated 25 February 1939, no term of office is listed.Original certificate and his "Official JP -Stamp" remains inFamily’spossession.He signed the birth certificates for many of his Grandchildren, and when Social Securitywas enacted, he recorded numbers of his sons and sons in-law.

He worked in many professions, while in Texas;as a roustabout, general labor, pipeline and Pumper for many of the Oil Field Companies there, a couple that I can remember names for are;Northern Natural Gas Company and Carbon Black Plant.The birth certificate of"Lola Mae McBee-Sargent",(his oldest daughter) lists occupation of her Father as (Coal Miner), which I questioned.But, after additional research I have discovered that not only are there numerous deposits of Coal in Texas, but also in Oklahoma in the areas where "Lola Mae" was born.Coal being a vital mineral resource in both states throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s, before oil and gas was fully developed. This information was supported by many of the older cousins, when contacted.

He is listed on the 1916 Voter’s Registration living in Hewitt, Carter Co., OK, he was listed as a "Merchant", and I have a picture of him displaying his products, that he sold by going house to house, unfortunately the picture is very poor quality and the names of the products cannot be determined.

His Mother,Margaret Francis White-McBee came to live with his family in about 1935, she died 22 August 1936, and is buried in the White Deer Cemetery.

After going to California at the age of65 years old, he continued to work, having a "Saw Sharpening" business at his home for many years,he also did regular farm labor,and as a floor man in a Raisin Packing Plant, was part of the Line workers in a local Wineryand worked at the local Ice House for a time in Fowler, CA.

An Interview with Mrs. Margaret McCurley, Chickasha, Oklahoma

I came to the Indian Territory with my parents in 1891.We crossed Red River on a ferry boat at River Crossing and my father renteda farm on Ryanprairie not far from Ryan.We lived in a dugout, but we did our cooking in a small log building near our dugout. Our dugout had a dirt floor; the roof was covered with logs, and the grass put on the logs and then covered with dirt.The only light we had came in through the door.We had a fireplace in the rear of the dugout.The chimney was made of adobe mud.My father raised mostly cotton and corn, but we did raise some cane, from whichwe made sorghum.My father had his cotton ginned at Ryan, and sold it there for five cents per pound.My father always kept what**end of page 2 **

Page 3:

corn he raised to feed his horses, hogs and a few milk cows.There were many deer, wild turkeys, prairie chickens and quails near where we lived. I saw a few Indians while there.I attended school at the Prairie Grove box school house which was near Ryan. There were approximately thirty-five pupils going to school there.We studied "Swintons" books and "McGuffey’s" books.We sat on long benches and each bench had a plank mailed to the back of it that we used, to write on, and to lay our books on while studying. Occasionally a preacher would travel through the country, and when one was available we would get him to preach in our school house.It never mattered what denomination they were because not any of us belonged to any certain church.One of the Baptist preachers we had was named Cloudis.We lived on Ryan prairie until 1895, when we moved to Caddo Creek in the Chickasaw Country.My father**end of page 3 **

farmed there until 1920.In 1896 I married John Thomas Anderson .We got our license at Ardmore and we were married by a Baptist Minister named Martin.In 1900 my husband died and in 1903 I married J. M. McCurley.Chills and fever used to be a very common ailment in the southern part of the Territory.The best remedy I ever used for Chills was corn shuck tea.It was made by cutting the shucks up into small pieces and boiling.There was a weed that grew on Ryan prairie that was called "Balmonie".We used it for a purgative by making a tea of the leaves.My mother always made our own soap out of t meat cracklings we could have left after rendering lard.We had an ash hopper we kept our wood ashes in until we could save enough to make the lye weneeded to make our soap. ** end of article** Received from Clara Jean (McCurley) Alexander;

McCurley, J.M. –Interview---#9405

Interview with J.M. McCurley, 910 North 13^th Street, Chickasha, Oklahoma, Investigator- Jasper H. Mead-----December 13, 1937

My name is J.M. McCurley.I was born February 6, 1881, in the state of Texas, fifty-seven years ago.I cameto the Indian Territory fifty years ago and the first place we landed was at a little place named Elk, thirty miles west of Ardmore.Elk was a very small place with one store, one blacksmithshop and a one room log school and church house; this log house was 16 X 18 feet with a door in one end and a stone fire place in the other end, with two open windows; this store building and the post office were combined. There were a good many Indians and Elk, Choctaws and Chickasaws but they never did give any trouble.I have see them lots of times dressed in what they call breech cloths with blankets thrown around them.I am one-fourth Chickasaw myself but the lawyers got my land and the Government failed to** end of page 2 **

Page 3:

make me any payments. There was not much farming around Elk. Twenty acres of land were considered a big blockand what plowing we did was done with oxen.I was thirteen years old before we ever worked a horse.In the little patch we worked we used what you would call a half a yoke; that means one steer. When we planted cotton we would tie a big rock behind one steer and drag it along and cover the cotton seed;When we planted corn, one person would drop the corn and another would come along with a weeding hoe and cover it. The land around Elk was mostly mountainous and timber land so most of it was in big ranches.George Giddon was the biggest ranch owner in that part of the country and he had thousands of head of cattle.

The main water supply came from the Russell Pretty Creek; there was lots of it and it was good water.** end of page 3 **

Page 4:

Thekind of officers we had were United States Marshals.If you got into trouble and had to be tried you had to go to Paris, Texas or to Fort Smith, Arkansas.The closest railroad to Elk was the Santa Fe at Ardmore.

There were deer, antelopes, turkeys and prairie chickens; I have seen as many as twenty five or thirty deer in one bunch.Antelopes were not so plentiful but there were quite a few of them and there were turkeys and prairie chickens by the thousands. I have lived in and around Chickasha for ten years and am a farmer.** end of article**Received from Clara Jean (McCurley) Alexander;Transcribed word for word as written;by, Elnora Frances Cook-Wyrick

Notes for ALLIE FRANCES COLLINS:

[John FANN (Ginger Hederer)-9-6-05.FTW]

Obit dated 17 Sept. 1936, Cass Co. Historical Society

FRANCES COLLINS FANN- Mrs. Frances Collins Fann, was born in Tennessee in 1868 and at the age of five years, came to Missouri where her, parents first settled on the Nathan Harrelson farm south and east of Belton.She was married February 23, 188 8, near Raymore to Charley Fann and they lived all their married life, with the exception of three years spent in Colorado, in Cass and Jackson counties, a greater part of this time on a farm a few miles northeast of Belton.To this union were bo rn eight children, all now living and married.Mrs. Fann is survived by twenty grandchildren and one great grandchild.These are left to mourn a mother's and grandmother's loss, the greatest loss that can come into the home.It was only recentl y that Mr. and Mrs. Fann returned from a trip to the mountains of Colorado, visiting relatives and friends in that state.Mrs. Fann was taken suddenly ill and was taken from her home in the High Grove community to St. Joseph's Hospital in Kansa s City where she passed away Monday, September 7, 1936, in her sixty-eighty year. Mrs. Fann was a real home woman, taking her greatest pleasures and most satisfying joys in the cares of her home and looking after the welfare and happiness of he r husband and children.Her ministrations of sympathy and love were not confined to her own household, but whenever in the circle of her acquaintance humanity needed sympathy and help she was ever ready to lend a helping hand.The splendid trait in her character had drawn around her a large number of warm friends.This was attested by the great mass of people attending her funeral services, and the beautiful offerings of flowers that were banked about her casket. Appropriate funeral services were held in the George and Sons Funeral Home conducted by the Rev. C. H. Lemon, pastor of the Belton Christian Church.Interment was in the Raymore cemetery.To the lonely husband to the motherless children our hearts go out in deepest sympathy, and in slient prayer, that the Great Comforter may come into that home and sustain and comfort them with the thought that "Thou Does all Things Well."-- W.A. Hill
