Matheus Jacobszen (Van) Kuykendall

Notes:

Mattheus was born about 1690, no baptismal record found.

From: Kuykendall, George Benson "History of The Kuykendall Family Since Its Settlement in Dutch New York in 1646 With Genealogy,etc" (Portland, OR, 1919)

Son Mattheus, and various grandsons began to migrate following the settlement patterns of this new country. Some moved south first to NJ/PA then VA/WV/NC then TN/KY and next west to TX. Some went to Upstate NY and, travelling primarily by boat across mighty rivers, to the midwest and eventually across the Oregon Trail in covered wagons to the far west.

The grandsons of Luur and Grietje who accepted early land grants in VA (WV) and NC, left a Dutch environment and entered an Anglicized environment. This meant the loss of the meticulous records of marriages and baptisms kept by the DRC's. Largely for this reason, there remains some doubt and serious disagreement about the lineage of the lines from NC. Were Abraham, Peter, Jacobus (James), Jonathan and Jacob the sons of Matthew or Cornelius? Researchers like Velma Winn and Betty Price are still working on this puzzle. The following records seem to indicate that Abraham, John, Peter and James lived in close proximity to Matthew. It would therefore seem they are more likely they are his sons, and not sons of Cornelius.

SEPTEMBER 4, 1748: Andrew Hampton shows in the North Carolina Militia Company Commanded by Captain Samuel Cobrin (Coburn). Dr. Robert W. Ramsay cited Samuel Coburn as the eldest son of James Coburn, who was a flourishing Indian Trader in the Susquehana Valley of Pennsylvania and then on the south branch of the Potomac River in Virginia by sometime earlier than his death there in 1748. Other members of Captain Coburn's Company in North Carolina under date of September 4, 1748, were Abraham, John, Peter and James Kuykendall. In 1743, one older Peter Kuykendall had been designated to lay out a road to Noah Hampton's mill on the Capon River, which later became Hampshire County, West Virginia. The old James Coburn was a neighbor of Noah Hampton. (Note: Peter married a Hampton and James married a Coburn).

MARCH, 1754: Anson County, North Carolina Deeds show Mathew Kuykendall and [second] wife Mary sell 150 acres for 28 Pounds Virginia money to Andrew Hampton. The land is located on the south side of the Catawba River and south side of Leapers Creek. Witnesses were John and Peter Kuykendall and Charles Dunlap and the Register shows all parties to be of Anson County. Dr. Robert W. Ramsay in his 1967 article by map locates Andrew Hampton on Dutchmans Creek below the Kuykendall Creek.

The descendants of Jacob and Mattheus, most of whom migrated to VA/WV/NC tend to be found today with the original version of the last name, Kuykendall. Some of the earliest Kuykendall's in Texas were NC descendants who were Col. Austin's original 300 and played key roles in forming Austin's Colony. These have been documented by a Mr. Marshall Kuykendall of Austin, Texas for a History of Texas to be published in 1995/1996.

Notes:

APRIL, 1770: Andrew Hampton, Abraham Kuykendall, Henry Clark and Joseph Green presented their commissions as captains in the Tryon militia to the April Court. Tryon formed in 1769, from Mecklenburg County, North Carolina in its initial scope had boundaries almost undefinable. See, "The History of Old Tryon and Rutherford Counties," 1730-1936, by Clarance W. Griffin. The first Tryon Sheriff reported 1226 taxables in 1769. Erent Holcomb in his, "Deed Abstracts of Tryon, Lincoln and Rutherford Counties, North Carolina 1769-1786," shows that at the time of its formation, Tryon County, North Carolina included all of the South Carolina Counties of York, Chester, Union, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Greenville, Laurens and Newberry; and also included all or parts of the North Carolina Counties of Lincoln, Gaston, Cleveland, Rutherford, Henderson, Polk, Burke and McDowell

Notes:

I noticed on Ancestry.com that you listed the children of Samuel Young and wife Elizabeth Kuykendall [as John Young, Sr., Elizabeth Young, Catherine Young Hildebrand, Francis Young, Solomon Young, and Uknown Son Young]. I am a descendent of Samuel and have been researching this family for over 30 years.

There is an 1829 deed in Cleveland Co., NC where the heirs sell the land of Samuel Young deceased to Solomon Young also an heir. The heirs were John Young, Catherine Hildebran and Solomon Young. This also agrees with the census that they had 2 sons and only one daughter.

If you have information or proof that they had other children, I would like to hear from you about this.
There were 3 Samuel Youngs living in old Rutherford Co about the same time period. Some people get these families confused. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Notes:

George Benson Kuykendall, author of HISTORY OF THE KUYKENDALL FAMILY SINCE ITS SETTLEMENT IN DUTCH NEW YORK IN 1646, featured a section in his book featuring some of those Kuykendall's whose membership is quite large and widely scattered over the country, but who had not yet been able to trace their lineage back to earlier Kuykendall families. He listed Peter Kuykendall in this section at the time of the books publication in 1919.

The HISTORY OF THE KUYKENDALL FAMILY quotes E.G. Kuykendall, a veterinarian of Carmi, Illinois, "My great grandfather, Peter, came to this county from near Bowling Green, Kentucky, in 1807 or 1808. He came to Kentucky from farther east, supposedly Virginia. He stayed here a few years and went to Northern Missouri. His two sons, James and Noah, stayed here, and later James moved to Southeast Indiana, where some of his descendants still live, one or two in New Harmony."

In the winter of 1912-1913, George Benson Kuykendall received a letter from an old veteran of the Union Army, John Kuykendall, at the Soldier's Home, Los Angeles, California "There were two Kuykendalls settled in White county, Illinois, in an early day; there names were Noah and Peter. Peter was my grandfather; my father's name was James."

In the book, the author notes that "There are a lot of Kuykendalls whose ancestors came into White county, Illinois, in the first decade of the nineteenth century, and since then have scattered...Carmi, the county seat of White county, is yet the location of a considerable sized settlement of Kuykendalls. These people with all their known relatives have been classified by me as the "Carmi Branch." By consulting a map of the country surrounding Carmi, in the White county, White river regions, it will be seen that Carmi is only about ten miles from the Wabash river, and that the White river empties into the Wabash only about twenty miles distant by straight line. The Ohio is the line between Kentucky and Indiana, and between the lower part of Illinois and Kentucky. In early times it was very common for the emigrants from Kentucky to go down the Ohio in barges or pirogues and to land at such points as suited their destination. It appears very likely that a good many of these Kuykendalls ....took the water lines of travel...(being) much more convenient to travel this way, after the Indians had been subdued by Wayne and Harrison. It was easier to float down the rivers than to go through the vast forests of Kentucky and Indiana."

This theory is confirmed in "...a matter of history..." Old Times, Old People and Old Buildings: Newspaper Accounts of Nineteenth Century Life in Carmi and White County, Illinois (The White County Historical Society, P.O. Box 121, Carmi, Illinois 62821: 1996), an article reprinted from the White County Democrat Centennial Edition published on July 30, 1914 by William D. Hay: " It has been stated that the first name to become of record in the new county of White was Kuykendall. That being true, a few lines regarding him and his family will likely be of interest. James (sic) Kuykendall came from Tennessee in the winter of 1807, crossing the Ohio river at Shawneetown. There he camped to rest himself and family and take a look around. It appears that he tarried too long, for before he was aware of it, he was water bound. The river had backed up and he found himself on an island with no way of getting off. He had more than the usual amount of stock for a mover at that time, and he lost the greater part of it getting it out of the backwater. After getting to dry land with his family and such of his stock and household goods as he was able to save from the water, he felt he had all of Shawneetown that he wanted. So he came to Big Prarie and settled near where Georgia school house now stands. There he raised one if not two crops of sod corn. Enough of it to be able to loan a load to Robert Land when he came in the fall of 1809. So far as I can learn James (sic) Kuykendall made no effort to enter land and about 1820, maybe before, he complained that the country was getting too thickly settled to suit him, so he moved on. Going to northeast Missouri and settled near Chillicothe, where he died. Noah Kuykendall, a son of James, who had not inheritied his father's love for moving and hunting a new and unsettled country, selected a location in the north edge of the Prarie and in 1809 built a log cabin about one hundred yards west of the present home of George G. Kuykendall, his grandson. He married and brought to his cabin home a Miss Jones, sister of Dan and John, prominent men in their day. The only descendant of the Jones family now living in the county so far as I know is our fellow townsman, John R.

The Carmi Illinois 1816-1966 Sesquicentennial booklet also mentions the earliest settlers of Carmi: first the trappers and hunters, seeking fur and game. Then the land-lookers, wanting to settle. Daniel Bain, a Revolutionary War soldier from Virginia, pushed into this area in 1806. He sired 18 children; was step-father of six more. Others built on the Big Prarie---Peter Kuykendall in 1808; Robert Land, Thomas Miller, Henry Jones, James Garrison, Thomas Gray and the Rev. Daniel McHenry in 1809.

The year 1811 was one of trouble and terror. Indians were killing and scalping. Tecumseh was trying to unite all tribes for war. "This is our land," he told General William Henry Harrison at Vincennes.

Then came that terrifying December 16. It was 2 a.m. Monday. Settlers slept. Suddenly the earth shook. Cabins shuddered. Logs creaked. Cradles rocked. Chimneys cracked. Bells rang. Clocks stopped. Dishes crashed. Cattle bawled. Dogs howled. Horses panicked. People fled their cabins; huddled in the cold. Parents prayed. Children cried. The ground rolled up in waves. Trees blew up, cracked, split, fell by the thousands. When earth waves hit the tall timber, forest giants weaved their tops together, interlocked their branches, sprang back and cracked like whip lashes. The earth rumbled, roared, split open, raised in some places, sank in others. On the prairie, snow white sand shot up like geysers. Along the Wabash and little Wabash Rivers banks caved in. Trees toppled into the water. Mrs. Edward McCallister hurried her children into a dugout canoe, pushed it into the Wabash River. Violent waves forced her to struggle back to the heaving land.

The earth shook all night and the following day. Tremors continued for three months, with massive shocks January 23 and February 7. The praying pioneers didn't know it, but they had experienced the heaviest earthquake ever to shake the American continent. It shook 1,000,000 square miles.

The following biography, not entirely accurate, was published in the "HISTORY OF NEW LEBANON, COOPER COUNTY, MO":

Peter Kuykendall went from KY to IL at an early date; he was dealing in land there at least in 1814-15. By his first wife (name unknown) he had the following children: Benjamin (R AR Terr.); Catherine (married Mar. 8, 1818 Howard Co., MO Benjamin Mathews) (R AR Terr.); Sarah (R AR Terr.); Moses (R Howard Co, MO); Hannah (married a Gage, R Howard Co, MO); Jesse (R IL); Polly (married a Taylor, R IL); and Noah Kuykendall (R IL); the geographic placements are as of 1826. While in Illinois, Peter Kuykendall married his second wife, Ruth Wyatt, and had seven more children: Wyatt, b Sept 28, 1810 IL; William Grant b Nov. 18, 1811 IL d 27 July 1892 buried Otterville, MO; Josiah A. b Feb 19, 1815 d Jan. 20, 1853, buried Brush Creek Cemetery, Williamson Co, TX; Peter b ca 1817 d before 1846; Mary d 1892; Narcissa; and Janette Kuykendall (married William Adams).

Wyatt, Josiah, and William Grant all entered land inthe 1830's northwest of Otterville Isee DVKM). Ruth (Wyatt) Kuykendall and her sons, Peter and Josiah entered land northwest of Otterville (see DVKM). Just when Peter Sr. and Ruth Kuykendall moved to Cooper County, Missouri from IL is not known, but Peter died there in Dec. 1826. Ruth died in 1858 and is buried in Llano County, Texas. **Taken from the probate papers for the Estate of Peter Kuykendall. R=resides

In Gifford White's unpublished paper titled "William and Mary Kuykendall Perry of Llano County, TX", he quotes Lania and Mattie Perry as saying "Mary Kuykendall Perry said that her father was in the Revolution, and was an old man when he married Ruth Wyatt, with a first family. She said he died of TB because of exposure in the war...the Kuykendall family lived near Boonville in MO because they used to hitch up and go into town."

There were 17 KNOWN living children of the two marriages of Peter Kuykendall at the time his estate was probated.

Married Meliny A. (unknown). She died 7-4-1857.
No children
Both Solomon Young and Meliny A. (unknown) Young are buried in the same row in Knob Creek Methodist Church Cemetery as Samuel Young & Elizabeth Kuykendall Young and his brother John Young, Sr. & Mary Seitz Young.
Terry Young - a family reseacher provides this information: In 1829, three heirs of Samuel Young sold his land to Solomon Young, born 1798, was most likely a son of Samuel Young, and Elizabeth Kuykendall Young. Solomon accummulated one of the largest groups of slaves in Cleveland County, NC. He died in 1878 without any children.

In ' "...a matter of history..." Old Times, Old People and Old Buildings: Newspaper Accounts of Nineteenth Century Life in Carmi and White County, Illinois' (The White County Historical Society, P.O. Box 121, Carmi, Illinois 62821: 1996). An article was reprinted from the White County Democrat Centennial Edition, published on July 30, 1914 by William D. Hay, it was noted that "Noah Kuykendall....had not inherited his father's love for moving and hunting a new and unsettled country, selected a location in the north edge of the Prarie and in 1809 built a log cabin about one hundred yards west of the present home of George G. Kuykendall, his grandson. He married and brought to his cabin home a Miss Jones, sister of Dan and John, prominent men in their day. The only descendant of the Jones family now living in the county so far as I know is our fellow townsman, John R.

In that cabin, one of the first to be built in that section or in the county, Alfred Kuykendall and other members of Noah's family were born. About 1825, Mr. Kuykendall built on the site of his little cabin a three-story log house. A large roomy, and for that day, an extra fine residence. Built of nicely hewn logs. Some of the logs of that house are still in use, being a part of the barn near where the the old house stood. They are still sound and you can scarely see an ax mark. This shows that the man who got out the logs for that house could hew the line. And that was considered quite an accomplishment at that day...I do not want to leave Mr. Kuykendall's home without saying more about the three story log house. The finishing lumber was all sawed with a whip saw. That is, a log was gotten into a scaffold, after being squared, high enough for one man to stand under it. Another man stood on top of the timber and with a whip saw (a kind of a rip saw made for the purpose) sawed it into the lumber faster than we would suppose. Though I have been told that making lumber that way was at least a first cousin to work. After the lumber came from the saw, it was planed, and the flooring tongue and grooved all by hand."

There is a Noah Kuykendall indexed in the 1818 White County, Illinois census.

Abraham Lincoln came to Carmi on September 1, 1840 in a political rally as part of his campaign for William Henry Harrison for President. Despite the rain, the rally was a great success. Lincoln stood before the huge throng and spoke for more than an hour. That night he lodged at the Ratliff Inn, where he visited with his many friends. Noah, age 53, and his family may well have been at the rally. (Source: Carmi Illinois 1816-1966 Sesquicentennial: Carmi Sesquicentennial Commission, Inc.).

Grace Gleason writes that she was shown as Catherine Keykendall at the time of her marriage. Said to have married Benjamin Mathews/Mathis on 8 Mar 1818 Howard County, Missouri, and they lived in Arkansas Territory.

There is a Benjamin Matthews on the 1840 Howard County, Missouri Federal census. Did they come back to Missouri, or did they never leave? They are neighbors of Richmond Gage. (Courtesy of Grace Gleason).

Ira Jean McCracken (rmccracken3@cox.net) writes that "Definitely back to Howard County, Missouri, where their son, Peter Kuykendall, married his first wife, Polly Hargis 20 Feb 1842. In June 1848 Peter again married. This time in Schuyler County, Missouri, to Amanda Fletcher. It looks as if both Polly and Amanda had a daughter and then died. In 1850 Peter 29, occupation mail carrier, is enumerated with a George Naylor family and a 6 month old Amanda Mathews and 4 year old Sarah Fletcher are living with 52 year old Elias Fletcher and his wife also in Schuyler County. Sarah most probably should be listed as Mathews for in the 1860 census of Denton Co., Tx. a 14 year old Sarah is enumated in the home of P. K. Mathis and wife, Missouri. This is Martha Missouri Lile who he married 28 Mar 1851 in Schuyler Co. MO. Amanda is also in Texas living with her mother's Fletcher family."

Notes:

Janice Doll emailed Grace Gleason that "Wyatt raised blooded Morgan horses around Sedalia, Missouri. During the Civil War, (his son) Josiah, just a boy, used to hide out the horses to graze them and keep the marauders from stealing them. When grown, Josiah has a harness and saddle shop in Sedalia when that place was a trail's end town."

Notes:

At the time of the 1850 census, she was living with her sister and brother-in-law, Louisa and Andrew J. Rudolph in Grayville, District 12. Shown as age 32.

Notes:

After his parents died, Alfred headed up the family, as can be seen from the 1850 census, in which three of his younger siblings lived with he and his wife.

This is confirmed in "...a matter of history..." Old Times, Old People and Old Buildings: Newspaper Accounts of Nineteenth Century Life in Carmi and White County, Illinois (The White County Historical Society, P.O. Box 121, Carmi, Illinois 62821: 1996). In an article reprinted from the White County Democrat Centennial Edition published on July 30, 1914 by William D. Hay, it is noted that "Alfred Kuykendall succeeded his father, Noah, and married a Miss Graham, daughter of George Graham, the cooper. To Alfred and his wife were born several children, none of whom grew to man or womanhood except George G., and I do not see much prospects of the family going any further, though you cannot tell---there is always room for hope.

Mr. Kuykendall's home being the largest in the settlement was for many years the meeting place for all gatherings. Religious services were held there, and many of the more or less and some of powerful preachers held their hearers in fear and trembling while they explained the love and teachings of the Lowely Nazarene. Not forgetting to tell something of the other fellow, hence the fear and trembling. All of Alfred's children were born in the three-story log house described above and he continued to occupy it until 1862. He then moved into his new frame home where he spent his last days, rounding out a long, useful and blameless life."

Could Frances be Sarah's mother, and Phebe her grandmother?. They are living next door to 20 year old Jeremiah Stewart and 16 year old Martha Stewart. The Carmi Sesquicentinnial book notes that one of Carmi's earliest pioneers was William Stewart, a Revolutionary War soldier who served in the company of his father, Capt. Matthew Stewart. The family left North Carolina and settled near Marion, Kentucky before coming to Carmi. William Stewart was the father of Dr. Josiah Stewart and grandfather of Dr. Elam L. Stewart, Carmi's first mayor. He died in 1856 at the age of 93 and is buried in the Old graveyard. Could Sarah be related to him? If so, why was he not listed on the 1850 census with Phebe, Frances, and Sarah?

Notes:

In the HISTORY OF THE KUYKENDALL FAMILY book, Lee Kuykendall is quoted as saying: "My father's father, my grandfather's name was FRANKLIN KUYKENDALL; his wife's name was MARY JANE ELLIOTT....FRANKLIN KUYKENDALL, my father was born October 17, 1834."

Lee Kuykendall apparently was misquoted, as he was the son of Franklin and Mary Jane (Elliott) Kuykendall, not grandson..

In another section of the HISTORY OF THE KUYKENDALL FAMILY, both E.G. Kuykendall of Carmi, Illinois (p 240) and John Kuykendall (p 241) list Franklin as the son of NOAH KUYKENDALL.

At the time of the 1850 White County, Illinois census, Franklin had been orphaned and was living with his older brother, Alfred. In 1860, he was married and living with his wife and children, and 67 year old Lucinda Bradshaw from Kentucky. They were living next door to another Bradshaw family.

Notes:

Velma Winn lists her as a daughter of Peter and Margaret. However, she was not listed with her mother and sisters at the time of the 1850 census (she would have been just a toddler)? However, a marriage record for a Harriet Kuykendall was located as follows: BRITTON, WILLIAM KUYKENDALL, HARRIET WHITE 08/23/1863 006/

Are there two Harriet's? Or might she be the daughter of someone other than Peter and Margaret.

Notes:

Linda Kuykendall, whose grandfather Aaron Egbert Kuykendall was a first cousin of George Graham wrote that:

"George Graham or G.G. as we called him was a small man, sometimes referred to as sickly. After Alfred's first wife died he wed Susan Britton Stinnett the widow with a child of Dabney K. Stinnett and his son Elvis Stinnett.

G.G. and Elvis became close When Elvis died of such a simple accident with a dog (fractured skull) G.G. began carrying a small gun when going into town and elimating loose dogs on the streets as told to me by my father. This can be backed up by the fines he paid off at the courthouse. He also had a habit of carrying quite a bit of money which I think probably also had something to do with the gun also since Elvis was gone.

After church G.G. would invite the different Kuykendall's to his house for dinner and would always enjoy the children. Dad said he would carve fish lures and give them to the boys for fishing.

In later years Dad's Aunt and Uncle were hired to stayed with him she taking care of the house and he taking care of the farm work."

A photo of his grave marker, on his FindAGrave memorial page created by Carmian, show that along with his name and years of birth and death, the marker was further engraved "In Memory of George G. Kuykendall who donated this ground for the original cemetery on or berfore the recorded date of 1/27/1891 and the first addition recorded date of 4/17/1911."

Notes:

Hildred McGuire, the youngest of Mamie's six children read a draft of the McGuire family history that her nephew, Keith McGuire, Jr was compiling.

In May 1978 she wrote him "When I read your sketch of the McGuire family, it didn't seem just right for some reason, and after I thought it over for awhile, I realized why. You were only 2 yrs. old when THE one who made us a family passed away, and you never knew her at all."

"Mom [Anna Mary Mamie Kuykendall McGuire] was not an average person (I'm a lot like her) and very few people ever really knew her except her kids, but there's not one of us who ever failed to love her and respect her. It was from her that we learned to love; she never talked about it, she just demonstrated it.

So no history of the McGuire family could even begin without Mamie....I'm sorry to say that I hardly know our dad until I was a grown woman. He operated the blacksmith shop during the spring and summer and then was gone from home most of the balance of the year, working on various construction jobs around the country and in Canada. He figures in my recollections something like Santa Claus-he came to us on occasion and usually bought lovely gifts, but Mom was the one who saw to our basic needs (and sometimes his as well!). It never occurred to me 'til years later how it happened that we got up on Sunday morning and our long-johns were freshly laundered (after our weekly bath the night before) and mended and ready to go. It must have taken quite awhile to wash and mend four sets.....maybe that's why Mom was later unable to sleep more than 3-5 hours a night! When she was old, she lost her sight, and couldn't read, and she nearly killed me keeping me from my '8 hours' to play bridge with her---because she was unable to sleep. ha!

In a follow up letter, in July 1979, she added "you didn't mention the divorce and I'm sure you must have heard somewhere that our parents were divorced in 1921. They later remarried (about 1925) but never were compatible and lived apart for the rest of their lives. This deep difference seems to have been present all during their married lives and was the cause of a lot of pain and suffering for both of them, but more for Mom than Dad. Men always have been able to find an antidote for their pains better than women and it was more so in the past than in the present----Mom spent her life like a mother bird without a mate.

Dad meant well and he never understood where he failed. He worked hard and long but he took no responsiblity for the nitty-gritty day-to-day needs of his family. His head was in the clouds with dreams of things 'way to too big for his ability to accomplish. He built buildings and thought up fancy names for the business he envisioned, but it was Mom who did the dirty work and kept on doing it after Dad gave up and turned to something else, because somebody had to keep the family going...

She tried to feed and clothe the family and finance Dad's operations from the the income from the store and she ended up with unpaid bills from merchandise ordered from the wholesale houses. She paid off hundreds of dollars after the store was closed following the divorce. Dad went off to a new life (chasing a married woman) and wouldn't even help support his minor children except when the woman learned of it and made him send us a few bucks. I think dad loved us, but he just didn't understand that he owed us anything. So I would like you to change "he operated the store in Trail" (to) he built the building but had nothing to do with the operation.....he borrowed $500 from a lawyer and gave the building as collateral....(causing Mom to borrow that amount from a relative to gain back the title to the building) which she held until her death. When her estate was settled, we opted to give it to Dad, and that's how it usually worked out. Mom sacrificed and went without things in order to pay the $500, Dad spent his money on women and ended up with the benefits of her sweat!

Mom was very young (about 4-5 yrs. old) when her mother died and her father remarried. She didn't like her stepmother and she left home when she was quite young and worked as a domestic in the homes of wealthy people. I don't know the extent of her formal education but probably 8th grade.

She was a tremendously capable person and had an inquiring active mind. She was way ahead of her time, and this is why she seemed strange to many people. She practiced religious and health ideas that are only recently becoming popular. [Note: her Death certificate shows she was attended to by a Christian Science practioner for the two years prior to her death].

She taught the first school on Red Creek, when Percy and Cecil were probably both to small to attend. I think she said she took them with her because she didn't have anyone to care from them in her absence.

She had a good voice and studied music (organ) when they were little but she said she had to give it up because it interfered with her family duties. (Percy poked several beans up his noise and nearly suffocated while she was having a lesson, so she never had another....and the organ was sold following her divorce).

The short story [written by Hildred] that I mentioned dealt with an incident concerning the store....it was so tantalizing to see all the goodies (which other people bought and we could not afford). Sometimes if something didn't sell we'd get it. [The story was about] some rubber balloons with different designs on them..we finally got....mine got away and I chased it 'till I was exhausted and finally it burst. I came back out of breath and heart and Mom was standing in the door with what looked like the one I had lost. She pretended that she'd found it---this is how she was---she didn't try to protect us from all pain and disappointment, but she knew when we were overwhelmed by events in our lives and and came to our rescue when it would have been disastrous if she had not. I think I would have been unable to believe in anything if I'd lost that small thing that day. I believe there is a Power operationg for good and that it uses us to carry out It's work, if we are loving, caring individuals

(Medical):In failing health for two years prior to death, caused by stomach trouble. Attended to by Mrs. Monroe, a Christian Science practioner.

Anna married Henry David McGuire on 4 Dec 1893 in Lyndon, Osage County, Kansas.

Excerpts from a biography of Percy, written by his nephew, Keith McGuire Jr. Keith received some of the information below from Percy's youngest daughter, Nelda.

Percy was the eldest child of Henry and Mamie McGuire, born in Kansas. His family then moved, in December 1898, to western Oklahoma.

When he was 19 he travelled with his father in work in Canada on a clear water pump on the Mackenzie River, to furnish water for a coal mine. When an ice jam broke loose and destroyed the pump they employment was terminated, and they returns to Oklahoma. Percy later moved to Hurley, New Mexico, where worked for a mining company.

On 8 March 1918, Percy enlisted in the Navy in El Paso, using the name Robert Henry McGuire, and the birthdate 8 January 1897, for "business and legal reasons." He was on active duty until his discharge on 31 January 1919, at which time he returned to Oklahoma. He was a Quartermaster Second Class, and discharged from the U.S. Naval Training Camp in San Diego, California, due to a Physical Disability, not specified.

In 1921, he married Ruby Weber in Guthrie, OK, and they had two daughters. He and his family, along with his younger brother Keith Sr, moved to Illinois for work. He later followed jobs across the country during the mid 1920s to the early 1930s, working in California, Kansas, Missouri, Idaho and Nevada. One of his jobs was working on the Boulder Dam, now known as the Hoover Dam. He was also a guide for the Park Service at the dam site.

He returned to Oklahoma, where he lived and worked in various cities for the remainder of his life, expect for a brief time in Corpus Christi, TX (1940-1941).

He was diagnosed with tuberculosis in the mid 1930s, receiving treatments at the Veterans Administration in both Clinton and Sulphur, OK.

Keith Jr recall's that Percy visited their family in Camargo, in the early 1940s, entertaining he and his sister Pat with card tricks. He refused to sleep in their home, however, saying it would be safer for their family if he slept in the camper shell on the back of his truck, as he did not want to expose them to tuberculosis. He died of this disease on 18 April 1946. Some two weeks before his death, he wrote his brother Elvis, that "---it sure is a job for me to write. I am eating pretty good and my throat is much better so I still have courage. By the way old top I want your return expense account and would like to know if extra batteries can be got for that little radio and if they can be charged outside of the set, if so I think I want one. The 2 sets they have here are completely dead from daylight to dark and I can't find any radio news or ads of any kind so far. Write when you can. I will try to answer. I hope my health will improve with the weather, it has been cold and raining for several days but nice today. Best Luck to All, Your brother, Percy."

Prior to his death, he moved to Nevada for for health, and his sister Ellen helped care for him.

This brief biography was excerpted from a longer biography written by Keith David McGuire, Jr. titled "Cecil Elliott McGuire 1896-1983"

Cecil was born in Kansas, moving to with his parents and older brother to the Oklahoma Territory in December 1898. He attended rural schools in Dewey County, Oklahoma, attending through the eighth grade. He moved to New Mexico when he was 18 where he worked as a cowboy on the Drag A Ranch near the town of Datil. He met his future wife, Jean Pearl Phillips, in Magdalena, NM, when he attended her High School graduation ceremony with her brother, a friend of his.

On May 17, 1918, he joined the United States Navy at El Paso, Texas, serving until his discharge at Mare Island, near San Francisco on January 28, 1919. During his enlistment, he went to an Electrical Technician School. He was robbed of his savings on the night of his discharge, while staying at a YMCA. He worked odd jobs in both Westwood, California, and also was sent train fare by his father and brother Elvis to join them at a farm near the border of Alabama and Tennessee to help them manage the farming operations. When he had enough saved, he returned to Datil, and went to work for Nations Land & Cattle Co, and continued with the improvements to the homestead he had acquired to joining the Navy.

He married Jean Phillips on Christmas Day 1920. The couple relocated to Hurley, NW after Cecil was hired by Mr. Hermann, the husband of a close friend, and fellow teacher of Jean's. Cecil started out in the machine shop at the Nevada Copper Co. The McGuire and Hermann families later both relocated to Bisbee, AZ to work for the Copper Queen Mine Company. Cecil later was promoted to the Copper Queen Smelter, a branch of the Phelps Dodge Corporation in Douglas, Arizona.

He also continued his education via correspondence courses, night school, and on the job training, learning the engineering skills necessary to register as a Civil Engineer (Arizona, 1938), and Civil Engineer/Water Rights Surveyor (Nevada, 1958). During his engineering training, in the early to mid-1930's, he worked as a field engineer during the construction of the Hoover Dam. He also worked at the Bureau of Public Roads in Phoenix, supplementing his income by staying rent free in the citrus farm of his supervisor, working evenings and weekends to plow, irrigate, pick fruit, and operate the smudge pots to keep the fruit from freezing.

He also did freelance work in surveying and mapping for ranchers and for the city of Douglas. In the 1940's Cecil and his younger brother Keith McGuire Sr collaborated on designing and building a prototype twin counter rotating rotor helicopter design. Keith worked on the fabrication of some of the components. After Keith's untimely death in 1948, Cecil abandoned the project. Cecil took a train from Arizona to Oklahoma to attend Keith's funeral. He later told Keith Jr that he completed the last leg of his long train trip by riding the Caboose of a freight train from Elk City to Camargo, to arrive sooner than he would have had a waited for the scheduled passenger train run.

Cecil was an avid hunter and fisher. He and his middle daughter, Ida Mae, took an annual fishing trip every summer, the final one taking place in 1983, shortly before his death. They had to cancel the 1982 trip after Cecil was struck by a car riding his bicycle and was briefly hospitalized.

He and his wife Jane were life members of the Hurley New Mexico branch of the Masons and Eastern Stars.




(Research):Cecil enlisted into the armed services on 17 May 1918, at the age of 22. His date of birth was erroneously shown on his military records as 2 July 1894 versus his actual year of birth as 1896. He was released from Military service on 28 Jan 1919.

Cecil married Pearl Jean Phillips on 25 Dec 1920 in Holbrook, Navajo County, Arizona. Pearl was born between 1897 and 1900 in Oklahoma; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This brief biography was excerpted from a longer biography written by Keith David McGuire, Jr.
As was true of his siblings, Elvis grew up primarily in Dewey County, OK, with the exception of the year the family spent on a farm in Alexandria, LA. He also worked with his father in 1918 on a farm in Tennessee.

While growing up, he attended rural school in Oklahoma, and in addition to helping on his parents, farm, he had two part time jobs. When he was ten, he carried mail three times a week from the train depot to the post office, a four-mile round trip, for which he received 50 cents per trip. When he was 16, he worked for the railroad itself as a section hand. In 1920, Elvis and Percy moved to Northwest Arizona, working as a surveyor on the construction of state highway #95, between Toprock and Oatman. In 1923, he moved to Hurley, New Mexico, travelling on top of a passenger train. In Hurley, he worked for the Chino Copper Company. He also fought, and won, his first professional boxing match here.

A year later Elvis moved to Illinois, in a Studebaker Touring Car that he had rebuilt, bringing his Mother and sisters Ellen and Hildred with him. His nephew Keith heard that Elvis made the move to get away from the higher elevations in New Mexico, which he thought contributed to blood pressure issues. His great nephew Tom was instead told by Elvis that the water in New Mexico was so bad, the only liquid he consumed by Coca-Cola, and that the massive amounts of cola that he consumed led to stomach issues.

During his stay in Illinois, he worked at a Farm Implement Factory, alongside his younger brother Keith. In the winter of 1925-1926 Elvis also worked as a street-car conductor in Chicago.
In November 1926, Elvis moved to Brownsville, Alabama and obtained employment at Brownsville Lumber, working as a mechanic in the Creosote Plant. His younger brother Keith followed him, working at the same plant.

While in Alabama, Elvis continued pursuing his career as a boxer, and was in five fights, winning four of them. His last fight was on October 31, 1927, against Joe Lousier of Florida. He won this on a technical knock-out in the eighth round, breaking a bone in his left hand during the fight, and finishing the fight one handed. After this fight, he retired from boxing, at the urging of his wife Norma. While living in Cottondale, they farmed.

In the 1940's, they traded their farm in Cottondale for a home in Tuscaloosa, on 1706 Forest Lake Avenue. Elvis was employed as a mechanic by Anders Studebaker Company, advancing to shop foreman before the Agency closed in the mid 1950's. During World War II, he maintained Stearman PT-17's military trainers at the Tuscaloosa airport. He later enlisted United State Seabees (1949-1965), working as a Gasoline Engine Repairman, and attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer. Elvis continued to work as a shop foreman for various civilian firms, retiring at the age of 70.

He was in an automobile accident in November 1989, and was no longer able to care for himself due to the injuries he received. He was a resident of the Park Manor Nursing Home in Morthport, Alabama until his death in 1994.

Keith owned a 1940 Aeronca TL Trainer two place tandem seat air plane, in which he died after a crash on January 4, 1948. He had been assisting some local ranchers who were eradicating coyotes in the area. His son, Keith McGuire, Jr. recalls that his father "occasionally, and not for hire, would fly in areas where local farmers/ranchers that he knew were hunting Coyotes, and would serve as a spotter for those on the ground." Keith Jr was riding with hi s Dad in the plane that day until shortly before his Dad's death, which was just after noon, 12 PM.

Coyote Hunting using airplanes were accomplished by two means at that time. One was where a second person riding with the pilot would shoot coyotes while in the air from the airplane. The other was where Ranchers on horses using Greyhound Dogs to corner the coyotes would sometimes be assisted by a pilot in a plane serving as a spotter to designate where coyotes were by a maneuver , usually wagging the planes wings in flight when they flew over an area where they saw coyotes. Keith reported that his father did this strictly for the sport, and not for hire.

There was not enough room in the church for all the mourners at his funeral , which was typical for all funerals in small towns in that time era. Kenneth Carpenter was one the eight honorary pallbearers at Keith's funeral, there being six active pallbearers. Josephine and Kenneth were married some eight years after the funeral.

The funeral director was Mr. Shaw of Vici, Oklahoma.

Keith married Josephine Marguerite Morlas on 16 Jul 1930 in Biloxi, Harrison County, Mississippi. Josephine (daughter of John Dominic Morlas and Lucine Roquevert) was born on 13 Apr 1905 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana; died on 6 Sep 1983 in McAlester, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma; was buried in Camargo (Westside) Cemetery, Camargo, Dewey County, Oklahoma.
