Notes:

Shown as Clara S. Wright, widowed, at the time of the 1930 Census. She was living with her father and sister in Sabine County, along with 5 year old Ollie McClelland and Mack McClelland. Her headstone, in the Lott Cemetery, shows her instead as Clara McClelland, Apparently she was widowed/divorced from a McClelland before she married, and was later widowed from, a Wright. Her headstone is inscribed "Clara McClelland, 1898-1945, Gone but not Forgotten." Sharon Whitaker shows that her first husband was Samuel D. "Mack" McClelland.

Jesse married Stella Mays about 1896. Stella (daughter of George Washington Mays and Mary Elizabeth Iles) was born in Sep 1877 in Sabine County, Texas; died in Sep 1936; was buried in Lott Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

White and Toole show that she died ca 1935. Could she have actually died before 1910? Her husband, Jesse Jacks, is listed as widowed as of the 1910 census, married in 1920 but without Stella in the home, and widowed in 1930. They may have simply seperated, as they share a double gravemarker at the Lott Cemetery, and her date of death on this is shown as Sept. 1936.

Notes:

The US Civil War Records and Profiles, 1861-1865 on Ancesty.com show that S. D. McClelland enlisted as a private in Company I, Texas Second Infantry Regiment. The Confederate pension application filed by his widow also states he served in Company I, from about May 1862 until the close of the War.

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

White and Toole (p. 73) instead show her first name as Theresa. They did not cite a maiden name.

Her FindAGrave memorial page, created by "skyquest" has the following biography of her"

Thirsa "Thirsey" A. Robbins was born January (sic) 8, 1835 (???) MS to William M. Robbins (b Aug 6, 1801 NC - d 1880 Lawrence Co., MS) and Mary Elizabeth Easterling (b 1802 SC - d 1862 San Augustine Co., TX) who were married Feb 5, 1824 in Marion Co, MS.

Thirsey Robbins (b Jan 8, 1835 MS - d Oct 23, 1913 Sabine Co., TX) and Samuel Daniel McClelland (b Feb 8, 1830 - d Jan 21, 1895 Sabine Co., TX) were married Feb 1, 1849, in Lawrence Co, MS.

Thirsey's Mother Mary Elizabeth (Easterly) Robbins was buried in the Fonville Annex of Wood Cemetery, San Augustine Co, TX, where some of her family were laid to rest.

Robbins (1801 - 1880) was buried in Society Hill Cemetery, Prentiss, Jefferson Davis Co, Mississippi.

Notes:

Married:
Marriage date per the US Confederate Pension application by Mrs. T. R. McClelland based on the service of her husband, Samuel D. McClelland. The year of marriage may wrong based on their years of birth (they each would have only been around 15 years of age). However, she was married before 1850, as she and S D McClellan can be found in Hinds County, Mississippi with a once month old daughter. Also living in their home was the widowed Elizabeth ROBBINS, age 46, and her children Jesse and Jeptha, ages 6 and 4. When Thirsey applied for the pension, on 12 Oct 1899, she was widowed and a resident of Sabine County, PO Vista, Texas. Her request was approved. The File number was 03556. At the time she applied for this pension, she stated that her home was worth $15, and she also owned one cow and calf and two yearlings, worth another $30. Witness was H. B. Robbins.
