USSERY NOTES

I have integrated the geneanlogical information in the above reference with my own research. A sister of my great-grandmother is the Sarah Jane MARTIN who mar. Mastin USSERY. A descendant of Mastin Ussery asked for my help on this family. She was not a researcher technically, yet she wanted to do a book on the Ussery Lineage. I do not know if she finished her project, not haveing heard any more from her for several years.

Olive 17 OD

Bolivar is on Ms. River and has two Cty. Ct.houses. Both would have to be checked, Chancery Ct. has land records, which should include slaves bought and sold, as they were considered chattel. 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" was from slaves that two brothers were "running" was not in fact the property of Mastin and the reason the gold was buried in his yard. Quoted from conversation with Abner USSERY of Caldwell Cty., TX, a descendant and current owner of the USSERY property.

From newspaper "Daily Cosmopolitan", Brownsville, TX - Column titled "Daily News"

"A fellow named Sam BROWN who waned to marrie Gussie, Daughter of M. USSERY and who was unfavorably looked on by the old man, on the 7th went to his sweethearts 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 Sam BROWN asked for the hand of Gussie and was refused because she was too young, He came back to the USSERY home a 2nd time and again refused, whereupon he shot & killed Mastin on his front porch. They buried Mastin in the front yard of the home, which became the USSERY Cemetery. The graves of Mastin and Sarah Jane are the above-ground type about 2-3 feet high and filled in with asphalt when I saw it. Several USSERY family members are buried there.

This descendant also said sons and sons-in-laws formed a posse and caught the Sam Brown. They hanged him in the town of Luling and then dragged his body behind a horse through the town. Charges were brought against the posse memebers. Some of them went to California until the charges were dropped. The descendant said it was the last hanging in the Cty.
