1980	Letter from Minnie Florence (MINTHY) HENDERSON:


"Well first I am the one you want this news from. ... I am the 
granddaughter of Charlie CASE.  Fannie CASE mar. my grandfather 
after his wife Bell died.  She left 7 children as far as I know. Granny as I 
called Fannie.  She my grandfather raised me after my mother Minnie 
MINTHY called her died.  She burned to death with a baby a few months 
old.  My sister Dovie my name is Minnie Florence HENDERSON.  Now I 
go by the name Florence.  My father & my mother were first cousins.  
They  mar. young.  She died the best I can say about 1901 or 1902 in 
Honey Grove, Texas.  Yes my Granny, Fannie WALKER CASE mar. real 
young & I think in Tenn.  She mar. a Mr. HARRIS, had 2 daughters.  I 
never knew them.  I knew all of Grandpa's children.  They were one big 
family.  I didn't know my granny's sister you speak of.  At that time I was 
real young.  I saw your grandfather one time as I can remember tho I am 
sure I saw him & all others you speak of when was a child as there 
seemed to be a lot of kin people coming & going all the time at my 
Grand Daddys home.  Grand Daddy & Granny went to Grayson Co. got 
Jim WALKER & his little sister Mary I remember their coming to our 
house so well.  Their mother & Dad, I think they separated or maybe he 
died.  They had 4 children, Jim, Mary, Rose I cant remember the other 
girls name. (Nannie Mae WALKER)  Their mother mar. again so her 
husband wouldn't accept her children she had to give them away.  Jim 
& Mary were the youngest.  Little Mary died about a year after Granny 
got them.  See they were granny's brother John's children.  I think that 
was his name.  Jim never knew to much about his older sisters.  The 
last I remember of him speaking of them they lived in Austin.  Jim & me 
are the same age.  I will be 81 Sept. 6 in Oct. he will be 81.  He is sick.  
I see him once in a while.  ... My husband died Sept 5 1977.  I have a 
daughter Mary Beth.  Willie in Waco, a son Charles, Jr. lives in Temple 
retired from Veterans hospital at Temple.  He & his wife Letha were 
nurses there.  Faye is a nurse in a nursing home here.  I have a son 
Russll Lee at Galveston.  He is a foreman at a nail plant there.  He has 3 
sons.  I lost a son June 8, 1960 of leukemia.  He was 34 left a 10 years 
old son Steve he lives in Calif. ... Faye will jet to San Francisco to see 
her son & wife & her only grandson Stevie.  I don't know James 
WALKER or Polly after my Granny died in 1925.  I took care of her.  I 
lived with her until I mar. in 1919.  Then took care of her most of the rest 
of her life.  So many of their children got her things.  I dont know who 
brought him tho.  Grandpa never lived in her home at Satin.  They lived 
on a big farm north of Satin during his life time.  She bought this house 
& she & I helped her keep boarders.  She loved to go fishing & would go 
often.  Someone would all ways take her.  I did after I married & had a 
car.  She willed her home to me but I was beat out of it.  I know I am not 
much help as I was a child in those early years & I just remember all of 
them.  I do remember a pretty girl comming to visit long times with us.  
Jim & me loved her.  I dont know who was her parents they called her 
Brigget (Bridget did visit them).  I think name spelled right or name is 
Bright.  Could it been Cricket.  Do you know of anyone by that name.  
She was real pretty had black hair ... I hope you can get a little 
information from this ... Faye has 2 daughters here.  Retha will graduate 
get her masters from Denton Aug. 16.  Mar. to Kerry STANELY.  No 
children.  Nancy works at Tyler Co. not married.  David in Calif. her 
husband shot him self about 8 years ago.  Bad health ... 

By by.  so glad to hear from you.  Florence."

[The house was deeded to Compton Funeral Home for the debt of the services 
of Fanny.  It was sold in 1935 to Selma Guderian COLLINS of Falls Co.  I spoke 
with the son of Mrs. COLLINS who lives in Ft. Worth.  He told me he was trying 
to get a Texas Historical Marker for the house as it had been a stage stop on the 
way to Wash. on the Brazos, the first state capital.  It was small, I could not see 
inside but appeared to be 2 rooms across the front with a porch full length & a 
room or two in "T" shape at the back.  It sat close to the ground.]

[A neighbor took Fanny to the hospital from a local baseball game thinking she 
had indigestion.  She died of a heart attack.  Death certificate gave no family 
information.  My grandfather went to the funeral.  Fanny appears to have had no 
contact with her own daughters.]

[When Jeff & Josie mar. they were Methodist.  They studied the bible together to 
try to find the name of John WESLEY, whom they thought was an apostle, not 
finding a reference to him, they converted to Church of Christ.  Grandfather was 
baptized by Thomas E. MULHOLLAND in Grayson Co., probably at the Hog 
Town Church. Jeff was known for being very learned as a bible student & my 
mother said people came from far away to get him to settle bible disputes.  He 
served for many years as an elder in the church.

[Patsy GRAHAM, mother of Josie GRAHAM WALKER, is reported to have been 
full blood Cherokee & she & 2 sisters were orphaned when their tribe migrated 
from VA to TN.  They were raised by an aunt, Polina CAMBELLIN who married 
Richard GLASS in Robkbr. Co., VA.  Richard & Polina are in the 1850-60 
census of Bedford Co. where the GRAHAM family lived until 1880, when Patsy 
GLASS & the children are in Gi. Co.  See Graham Genealogy.]

she was doing hand sewing, using any ravel of cloth she could get.  
One night it is believed she tried to pull a ravel of thread from a

burned, killing her & destroying the family bible.  She is said to have 
been quite beautiful, having black curly hair & blue eyes.]

I want to thank Mrs. Dorothy RANGE for her contribution of genealogies on the 
descendants of Ira B. MARTIN.

Ira B. MARTIN served in the War of 1846, 1st TN Regt. 2 of Calv., and Pvt., 
C.S.A., under Col. Gordon, 11th TN Calv. and Pvt., Co. A., 9th Reg. TN Inf.  
He filed a claim with the Federal Government 12-1-1863, his age is 50, has 78 A 
of land 12-14-1871, for compensation of goods confiscated by the Union army, 
claiming to have a receipt for the goods.  His claim was disallowed.  (I like 
this man because he had a lot of grit.  His records brought him to life for me.)

Mrs. Range descends from this family.  She sent me copies of a picture of 
Ira B. MARTIN and Sarah Annie.  She has in her records that Ira's middle 
name was "Brown".  I have not seen that record.  She also sent several 
articles, the following being one of them.  I appreciate very much all 
her assistance in corrections, etc. in these lines.  

	"CLIPPING FROM THE GARLAND NEWS"


"Mrs. W. F. BROWN, lovingly called "Grandma BROWN" by hundreds of 
friends, young and old, will soon celebrate her eighty-third birthday.  She 
does her own housework in her modern brick cottage on Bankhead highway, where 
she daily receives visits from neighbors who bask in her cheery smile.  Her 
sense of humor is one of her main attributes, and all through her life she 
has been ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.  Mrs. BROWN is 
a regular church attendant at the First Christian Church.  She became a 
church member at Robinson Fork, Tenn., at the age of twelve.  She is 
vitally interested in present day affairs and enjoys sports of all kinds.

"Sarah Ann MARTIN was born at Lynnville, GI Co., Tennessee, September 27, 
1856, the daughter of I. B. and Melissa MARTIN, natives of GI Co..  She is 
the oldest of the seven children, six of whom are still living.  She attended 
school with her four sisters and two brothers in a log house with one door 
and two windows.  There were split log benches with peg legs, and the desks 
were planks on pegs fastened through holds in the walls.  The Civil War 
disrupted the schools and often they had only three month terms.  Later 
school was held in the churches.  There were many cousins and young people 
in her group, and they had good times at candy pullings, pop corn parties, 
and square dances.

"As a young girl she helped her mother spin and reel.  One of the most vivid 
memories of her childhood were the clumsy shoes.  When they needed shoes a 
cobbler would come to their home to make shoes for each member of the 
family, then go on to another place.

"W. P. BROWN was a neighbor across the road from the MARTIN home, and 
he owned a flour mill.  He had four sons, Robert, Tom, William Fletcher and 
MARTIN, and two daughters, Lesta and Mrs. Joe PULLEN.  Robert and Tom 
BROWN were Confederate solders, as was Joe PULLEN.  Robert was left a 
cripple for life, Joe lost a hand, and Tom lost an eye at the battle of 
Raymond, Miss.

"About 1,000 Union soldiers camped at the MARTIN (Brown?) flour mill, and 
the country was stripped of food and animals.  Mrs. BROWN recalls her 
dread of these soldiers as she could watch them from the window of her home.

"She was married to William Fletcher BROWN January 16, 1873, and they 
went to their home after the ceremony where they had 100 guests for the 
wedding supper.  The next day they had the in-fair dinner at the home 
of the groom's parents.

"There were forty-two in the party when Mr. and Mrs. BROWN and their 
children, Edna, now Mrs. W. V. OLINGER, and Rena (Mrs. Charley WILLIS, 
dec.) started for Texas on September 3, 1878.  The wagon train was 
up of eleven two-horse wagons and two double seated buggies. Forty-four 
days were required to make the trip.  They did not travel on Sunday, so 
they averaged about twenty miles a day, arriving in Dallas Co. October 17.  
Among the families represented in the group were the PULLENS, BROWNS, 
MARTINS, OSBORNES, WHITES, WILSONS, ISAACS, ALLENS, PORTERS and MILLIGANS.

"They had many interesting experiences en route to Texas.  They crossed the 
Tennessee River at Clifton, and intended crossing the Mississippi at Memphis.  
When they arrived there, guards turned them back as Memphis was quarantined 
on account of yellow fever.  They went north by Reel Foot Lake in West 
Tennessee and crossed the Mississippi at New Madrid in Missouri.  They were 
forced to go through Nigger Wool Swamps where they drove over a post road for 
sixteen miles.  A man had to walk at the head of each mule or horse to keep 
them from slipping on the logs.  Mrs. Brown remembers the swarms of yellow 
jackets they went through.  After passing through this swamp they camped 
where the turkeys, wild ducks and fish were plentiful.

"Mrs. Brown fell in love with Texas prairies and wanted to stop before they 
reached Dallas Co..  However, they settled on the Caruth farm on Air Line Road, 
and lived in this White Rock neighborhood for ten years.  Watt CARUTH made 
the ten-mile trip to Dallas by horseback daily for the mail and delivered it to 
the settlers.  The first year they made a marvelous crop.  It was while they 
were living there that their son, Carl, was born in 1883.


"In 1883 they bought a farm from W. T. OLINGER.  Among their neighbors for 
the next thirteen years were the RIDDLES, COLDWELLS, OLINGERS, 
PHILLIPS. MEANS, SPARKS, AKERS, BRYANTS, GREERS, NEELYS and 
MYERS.  In 1901 they bought the old COOMER house and Mrs. Brown has 
since made here home here.  Mr. BROWN died January 16, 1917.

"Mrs. BROWN'S sisters are:  Mrs. Belle FILGO, Temple, Texas; Mrs. Mag 
HICKMAN, Temple, Okla.; Mrs. Mary SPIVEY, Murray Co., Tenn.; Mrs. Izora 
SPIVEY, Lynnville, Tenn; and one brother John MARTIN lives in Lewisburg, 
Tenn.  Besides her son and daughter, she has six grandchildren and four great-
grandchildren.

"To know "Grandma BROWN" is to love her, and the writer knows of no one 
who has a wider circle of devoted friends.				s / Mrs. 
W. H. BRADFIELD."

(COMMENTS OF COMPILER:  Ira MARTIN may also have had a mill as a 
Crockett Mill was on this land Ira MARTIN bought and could have still beem 
working.)

(Written above his name was "Agent for Mastin".  I suppose this means Mastin 
was the owner of the property, which could be land, slaves or both.  I suspect 
working the deeds there should reveal the kind of property and should be in 
Mastin's name.  Now I wonder if the reason "the gold was buried in his yard 
from slaves that two bachelor brothers were "running" was not in fact the 
property of Mastin and the reason the gold was buried in his yard.)

1883-9-20
From newspaper "Daily Cosmopolitan", Brownsville, TX - Column titled 
"Daily News."


"A fellow named Sam BROWN who wanted to marry Gussie, Daughter of M. USSERY 
and who was unfavorably looked on by the old man, on the 7th went to his 
sweetheart's house and in cold blood shot and killed her father."  Published 
in "TIPS OF TEXAS" genealogical quarterly of Harlingen, TX, Vol. 3, No. 3, 
Nov. 1965, p 25."

A descendant said the story was that Sam BROWN had asked for the hand of 
Gussie and was refused because she was too young, She was 18 at the time.  
He came back to the USSERY home a 2nd time and again refused by Mastin to 
allow her to marry BROWN, whereupon he killed Mastin on his front porch.  
They buried Mastin in the front yard of the home, which became the USSERY 
Cem.  The graves of Mastin and Sarah Jane are the above-ground type about 
2 to 3 feet high and filled in with asphalt when I saw it.  Several USSERY 
family members are buried there.

Mr. Abner USSERY also said sons and sons-in-laws formed a posse and caught 
the Sam BROWN.  That was the last hanging in Caldwell Co., TX.

I learned this information from a record I have lost.  The posse hanged 
Sam BROWN in the town of Luling and then dragged his body behind a horse 
through the town.  Charges were brought against the posse members.  Some 
of them went to California until the charges were dropped.  The descendant 
said it was the last hanging in the county.  The charges were dropped in 
the court 
records.

C. W. MARTIN		31 TN Farmer $900/450 (He died before his father)
E. J.			35 TN

This is the last record I have of him.  I do not know if he died in TX, but 
suspect he probably did. No probate record was found on him, but I did not 
know until later that he was in the area.

According to the settlement of the estate of his father he had no heirs.

I want to thank Mr. James COKER who was living on the home place of Nat 
MARTIN for his contribution to this lineage.  Also Mrs. Nell Bledsoe COKER 
furnished information to Mrs. Delpha WEATHERSON on November 1960 on some 
of these lines.

Mr. COKER said Nat or Eb as he was called, took care of his father in his 
later years.
