Roderick "Rory" "Ross" Young Buckley

Notes:

In her transcription of the Hemphill City Cemetery, Kay Parker McCary indicates that this grave is inscribed "Brother, Rest in Peace, At Rest."

Notes:

Sometimes shown as William Archibald Buckley, however Teresa Cunningham writes that "William N. lost a brother Young Archie in Virginia. All the Buckley family who went to Sabine County named one of their boys William Archer, not Archibald. My Grandfather was Archie. My GrGrandfather was William N. Buckley's brother. "

William married Ruth Mary Ann "Ruthie" Land before 1856. Ruth was born in Sep 1837 in Mississippi; died after 1900 in Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Shown by some as Rutha Land, a probable sister of John Land of San Augustine County, and by others as Ruthie Laird. As the death certificate of her son, J.C. Buckley, shows her maiden name as LAND, it is assumed this is correct.

Edward married Mary Benena Meador in 1870 in Sabine County, Texas. Mary (daughter of Richard Meador and Mary Ann Tucker) was born about 1853 in Texas; died in 1894. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On the Sabine County 1854 Scholastic Census, H.S. White was shown as of household with five (5) children between the ages of 6 and 16 enrolled at School District No. 6. They were: Edward, Vardamenn, Mary, Hanibal, and Arrilla. Who was Arrilla, and who was her mother? Could this have been Hanzel, his daughter by Eliza Jones?

Henry S and Mary E White (third wife) were among the 11 founding members of the First Baptist Church of Hemphill, all of whom gathered on the banks of the Housen Bayou, drawing up 12 articles of Faith and 24 articles of Decorum. Henry served as the clerk to the church, recording all church proceedings for a period of some 12 years (from 1858 to 1870), as a delegate to church conferences, and as the moderator of church proceedings. In November, 1868, he was ordained as a Deacon of the Church. The MINUTES 1858-1890 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HEMPHILL, TEXAS were transcribed and indexed by Di Ann Vick in 1982, and are available for purchase from both Ingmire Publications, 10166 Clairmont Dr St. Louis MO 63136 and Ericson Books 1614 Redbud St Nacogdoches, Texas 75961.

In 1876, H S and Mary E White left the First Baptist Church and were among the founding members of the Antioch Baptist Church in the Gravel Hill Community of Sabine County. According to a plaque on the front of the Antioch Church, J. S. Lambert and J J Roundtree were the organizers. Other founding members included: George Conn, John Anderson, T.D. Burkhalter, John De Weese, L.W. Hoard, Hosie Baldree, Ann Mason, Sophie H. Wallace, Mrs. C.A. Hoard, C. Baldree

Per the book "Sabine County Historical Sketches and Genealogical Records" by White and Toole, "Henry S. White Sr. was Judge of Sabine County from 1869-1875, serving with Solomon Arthur. (They were called Chief Magistrates until the new State Constitution went into effect at the end of their term). Henry S. White was also a member of the Littleton Fowler Masonic Lodge. As the White Plantation lay just west of Hemphill, he was one of the last of the "Paderos" for the return of run-a-way slaves."

I have been unable to locate a CSA service record for Henry. It is probable that he was considered too old for service, he was almost 50 at the outbreak of the war.

His tombstone indicates he was a Mason.

Note in the 1920 Sabine County, Texas federal census, there was a 50 year old mulatto farmer named Jesse White (#594-616). He noted that his father was born in Mississippi and his mother in Georgia. What is his relationship, if any, to the other White's in Sabine County, Texas?
