Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Alfred Davenport Oliphint Descendancy chart to this point (1.Robert1) was born on 10 Mar 1799 in Kentucky; died on 26 Sep 1880 in Sabine County, Texas.

    Notes:

    He is included on the List of Slave Owners on the 1850 Sabine County, Texas Census, with 17 slaves. (Schluter & Toole, p I).

    First of all, I saw in the 1840 Holmes County, Mississippi index that Robert Oliphint (may be your Robert), Bluford A. Oliphint and Alfred D. Oliphint were on page 259. Also, on this page were Silas S. Cause, Green B. Causey and Solimon Causey. On page 251 were Isaac C. Olipohint and Wilford Oliphant. On the 1850 Holmes County, Mississippi, Lexington census index on page 286 were Robert B. Oliphint and S.R. Olipints on page 288.

    I found that on December 18, 1839, Alfred D. Oliphint obtained a conditional certificate for 320 acres of land in Sabine county, "he having brought with him his negroes, but his having not brought with him his white family but in the summer of 1840 said Oliphint returned to U.S. and removed his family to the Republic of Texas and his continued to reside in Sabine..."

    He is found on the 1850 Sabine County census with his family and Solomon Causey and then Green B. Causey are living next door. There is also a Robert J. Oliphint living with Louisa Jane Oliphint Noble (daughter of Alfred and Jemima) living several doors from Alfred. A Joseph B. Oliphint and Wilford D. Oliphint (says son of Robert Oliphint & Abigail Davenport) are also living in Sabine County nearby.

    Alfred is shown as A. D. on the 1860 Sabine County census. He is also on the 1880 Sabine County census.

    I looked at an index to the Sabine County, Texas cemeteries. They had Alford and Martha listed and several other Oliphants but not Robert and Abigail. I wonder if the Robert shown on the 1850 Mississippi is Alfred's father? If Alfred was 41 in 1840, his father was 69 and that seems a little old to be moving, but not unheard of."

    Here is the response to my email with some additional information:

    "My ggg grandfather, Robert Oliphant, also had a son named Robert Bedford Oliphant who stayed behind in MS and never went to TX with his older brothers and parents. My gg grandfather, Dr. Samuel Rutherford Oliphant, Sr. M.D., was the youngest child, and traveled to MS with his parents and older brothers when they came back to MS to fetch the women and children, etc. and to take them to TX in 1840....Alfred and some of his male family and negroes having gone there in 1839 to secure the land.

    I'll never know whether Robert and Abigail went to TX with the intention of returning to Holmes Co or not. I suspect that at their advanced age, they felt they needed to go with their older and more established sons, leaving behind their younger married son, Robert B. whose children may have been too young to make such a trip, as well as 2 daughters that I know of: Mary Oliphant Stigler(w/o Wm Stigler) stayed behind in MS and Eliza Ann Oliphant Wells (w/o Lindsey S. Wells) stayed behind as well. My Samuel returned to MS as a teenager to study medicine and marry his sweetheart back in Holmes Co...Laura Lovisa King.

    Since Robert and Abigail owned at least 19 slaves, I am still trying to find their estate sale. I believe they died intestate, but the Holmes Co courthouse had a fire and the records are incomplete, so I may never know. I do know that somewhere I saw a record of one of the sons in law being appointed administrator in Holmes around 1845 or so. (When I sent money for a record, nothing ever was returned, so I shall have to go back in person, I guess. It is frustrating.)Wilford D. Oliphant was married to Martha Ann "Patsy" Stigler and Bluford A. Oliphant was married to Lenora Lehr. There was a younger Wilford who, I believe, was a teenager when they all removed to the Republic of TX in 1840.

    Martha Oliphant Wiltshire(w/o Benj. Wiltshire) also went to TX with her family at some point, and I am thinking that it was her husband who was appointed administrator of the senior Oliphant's estate."

    Notes:

    Also living in their home at the time of the 1850 census, relationship unknown, was 17 year old Wilford M. Oliphint, born in Texas.

In addition, 26 year old Robert Hicks, an overseer born in Mississippi lives in the Oliphint home. (Schluter & Toole, 1850 Census, p 42).
