Charity Taylor

Charity married Jacob Garrett on 13 Mar 1802 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Jacob was born about 1776 in Virginia; died in 1842. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Clairborn Garrett, William's older brother, who operated a store in San Augustine, died in the winter of 1836. Jacob, Garrett's father, was appointed administrator of Clairborn's estate. Jacob quickly sold all of Clairborn's personal property, but for some reason was exceptionally slow to settle other estate manners. In fact, his reluctance to distribute his son's real property forced the probate court twic to order him to "make a showing." In 1839, when Clairborn's widow finally received one-fourth of the estate, she had already remarried John D. Nash. (From Noble, Harry Jr. "Garret Plantation Was One of Biggest" SAN AUGUSTINE TRIBUNE 13 April 1995, page 4)

Family/Spouse: Elender A. Hemphill. Elender was born about 1802; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Settled on the east side of the Attoyac River, about nine miles west of the Ayish Bayou. He moved into a hand hewn log house and remained there for the rest of his life. The old log house still stands today. Owned by Milton Garrett's descendants, it is located on the south side of the Old San Antonio Road on top of the hill, one mile east of the Attoyac River. (Noble, San Augustine Tribune "William Garrett Plantation Was Near Town" 6 April 1995)

Per the 1860 census, he was a Farmer with $6,219 in real estate and $37,650 in personal property.

He was not listed on the 1870 census, presumably having died. His widow and all of his children were still living on the farm, which was now valued at $5,000, with $2,000 in personal property. Bill and Francis Harrison, a black couple with two young children were living with them as well, as household servants. Also living with them was 24 year old S.D. Horton from Alabama, a white farm laborer. By 1880, only Sam, Claiborne and James were still living at home.

Family/Spouse: Elizabeth Hamil. Elizabeth was born about 1816 in Tennessee; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

FindAGrave shows that she was married first to Thomas Jefferson CROUCH, in 1825, and they were the parents of William D. Crouch, 1826-1879 Myrtle Springs, Texas.

Mary married Thomas Jefferson Curl on 3 Jan 1833 in Arkansas. Thomas was born on 13 Feb 1808 in Stewart County, Tennessee; died on 12 Mar 1865 in Chireno, Nacogdoches County, Texas; was buried in Lower Chireno Cemetery, Chireno, Nacogdoches County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On the 1860 San Augustine County census, he was shown as a planter, with $36,751 in real property and $134,910 in personal property. The Garrett's lived next to the family of Frank and Minta Price, who had three children, John, Mary and William (ages 6,4 and 1). The three Price children, presumably orphaned, were actually living with the Garrett family at the time of the 1870 census. William Price, age 20, was still living with the Garrett family in 1880, and is listed as William Garrett's grandson.

On the same census, brother-in-law Matthew Cartwright had real estate at $500,000 and personal property near $75,000, with only 13 slaves. Henson and Parmelee point out by way of contrast that brother-in-law and "planter" William Garrett estate, included 132 slaves, and that "Farmer-Merchant" Iredell D. Thomas had $166,000 in accumulated wealth, and 52 slaves. (Henson and Parmelee, "The Cartwrights of San Augustine," p. 191).

In 1870, he was shown as a retired farmer, with $20,000 in real property and $5,000 in personal property.

The information below is excerpted from a five part series on William Garrett by Harry Noble, Jr appearing weekly in the SAN AUGUSTINE TRIBUNE begining on April 6, 1995 and continuing through May 4, 1995.

"William Garrett, born in 1808 and a native of Davidson county, Tennessee, was still a youngster when his parents, Jacob and Charity (Taylor) Garrett, moved the family to Arkansas. In 1827, at the age of nineteen, Garrett migrated to Texas, first settling in Nacogdoches. He established a small mercantile business there, but operated it only a short time before moving east to the Ayish Bayou District.

Either Garrett encouraged family members to joing him in Texas, or the family had developed a master migration plan, because his father and several brothers soon followed him to the area. Jacob, his father was the first to arrive, but is wasn't long before his older brother Milton came to the new territory. At some point during this relocation process, another older brother, Clairborn, also migrated south to the Ayish Bayou District....

William Garrett acquired a land grant about a mile west of the Ayish on the Old San Antonio Road. He decided that's where he wanted to live and remained there for the rest of his life. He would eventually develop a profitable plantation and build a large house. The old home has survived and is presently the Cornell and Ruby Dorsey home. While still nineteen, Garrett joined Burrell J. Thompson's militia and participated in the Fredonian Rebellion. The final battle of the insurrection occurred a little over a mile east of the Ayish Bayou. However, the culminating ambush and surrender process, where the Fredonian reinforcements were captured by Stephen Prather's small group, took place on the ridge just east of William Garrett's house.

Even though Garrett now lived in the Ayish Bayou area, he still had many friends in Nacogdoches, including Adolphus Sterne, and continued to interact with the town and its people for several years. For instance, it was during this period that he was ordered to repay a debt of six pesos to Jesus de los Coy, a resident of that district. Also, in August of 1832, Charles S. Taylor, another Nacogdoches resident, sent $30 by Mr. G. Pollett for payment on an account he had had with Garrett. Taylor, in an accompanying letter, asked Garrett for a receipt, plus all of the local news. News was a valuable commodity in pioneer days and was gathered at every opportunity and from whatever source available.

Tension had been growing for years in Nacogdoches between the civil authorities and Jose de las Piedras....(culminating) in the Battle of Nachogdoches on August 12, 1832....Garrett and Alexander Horton (later) signed a sworn statement that: "...James B. McMahan served as private in Captain Smith's company....(and that they) were in the same battle and in the same expedition at Nacogdoches."

In 1832, Garrett was selected as one of the committee members to select a site for the town. In the following year he bought a large parcel of land from Obediah Hendrick. Perhaps this was purchased in connection with his approaching marriage to Mary "Polly" Cartwright. Their vows were exchanged on October 20, 1833.

Garrett's first land transaction recorded in San Augustine County deed records was for lot 161, sold to Francis Cabler in December 1837 for $50. In March, 1838, he served on the adultry trial of Simpson Brown and Eliza Dalton. The case was dismissed.

In the late 1830's, an economic depression took hold. Adolphus Sterne wrote in his diary "Grog Shops all Shutt no Cash...times have never been so hard." In financial maneuvers to help survive this crisis, Garrett formed a Cotton warehouse partnership in Sabinetown with his father-in-law, John Cartwright. he also entered into several land ventures with his brother-in-law, Matthew Cartwright. Cotton prices had dropped to the point Garrett and the Cartwrights were willing to store cotton in a warehouse and gamble on the prices going back up in future years.

After his father's death (in 1842), William was appointed administrator of his father's estate, and at the same time made administrator de bonis non of (brother) Clairborn's estate. He submitted the final settlement of his brother's estate in January of 1848 and shortly after that was able to close the books on his father's estate--personally receiving a portion of each property.

He was administrator of the esate of his father-in-law, John Cartwright, and Henry J. Lockridge. He transferred a half interest in a third of a league of land located on the Trinity River in Nacogdoches to William D. Ratliff--another brother-in-law. Two months later, Garrett bought the same half interest at public auction with a high bid of $70.

Garrett was obviously a busy man at this point in his life. Married and with three minor children, not only was he overseeing one of the largest plantations in East Texas and part owner of a cotton warehouse venture, he was also the administrator of at least four estates. Even thought the depression was still hanging on in 1843, Garrett was doing well with his plantation. The tax rolls showed substantial income and the family owned two fine carriages--an unusual luxury at that time.

His wife died in July 1846. Garrett enrolled his minor daughters at the Women's Female College, a department of Wesleyan College. The tuition was $10 per session for each girl. Garrett offset some of his expenses, however, by furnishing firewood during the winter. The total tuition charges for 1847, minus the firewood, came to $48. Garrett boarded the girls at the home of Stephen W. Blount for the year for a total of $115. Additionally, he was paying $10 per semester for music lessons. Obviously, he was dedicated to providing the best education available for his daughters.

Earlier, in March 1847, Clementine Holman, widow of Sanford Holman and daughter of William Garrett's brother-in-law Matthew Cartwright had died (sic), leaving her two small children Anna and William. Within days after the marriage of William and Lucetta, William moved his two daughters back from the home they were boarding in to their plantation home, as well as taking in the two Holman children, again helping out relatives in time of need. Considerable credit should go to Lucetta. Married less than a month, she not only had a new husband but four small children. She and William went on to have seven more children of their own.

Due to his numerous business and estate dealings, Garrett was frequently in court. In 1847, Edmund Gaines, the commanding general of Fort Jessup, fifteen miles east of the Sabine River in Louisiana, filed suit against the estate of Jacob Garrett for which William was administrator. District Judge O.M. Roberts ruled in favor of Garrett. However, the case was later retried and the jury subsequently returned a verdict in favor of General Gaines. In 1848, Emory Huston, son of Almanzon, filed a lawsuit against William as well. The jury found in Garrett's favor. Later, he lost a judgement for $25.25 to Iredell Thomas, but a case filed by William and Mary Seawall was found in his favor. Leon Chabert of New Orleans, representing a commodities trading firm, had been pursuing a delinquent payment claim against Matthew Cartwright for years. He eventually sued Garrett and Samuel Burrus as guarantors for Cartwright. The court ruled in favor of the plantiffs (Burrus and Garrett). Additional lawsuits continued into the late 1850's, with verdicts going both for and against Garrett.

In December 1863, Richard Waterhouse, a San Augustine merchant, was murdered and robbed. A number of citizens assemebled and appointed "a committee of Safety...consisting of more than fifty of our most respectable citizens." William Garrett was a primary spokesman. They investigated the murder and arrested three men, immediately sentencing them to be hanged, not waiting for the next session of the district court. Two of the men, Malvin Huston and William M. Everett, were scheduled to be executed on the morning of February 13, 1864, and the committee "ordered (their) examination by a unanimous vote, and directed that both...men should be tortured, if necessary, to procure a disclosure of the circumstances...Everett refused to make any disclosure, (therefore) he was subjected to torture which was slight and he very soon consented to tell all he knew of the matter..." The interrogation committee consisted of William Garrett, Alexander Horton, and Dr. Isaih J. Roberts. Another small group had similarly interrogated Everett, obtaining a statement almost identical in substance and detail. The surprising testimony pointed to one of the town's leading attorneys, Henry M. Kinsey. As in most murder investigations, there were conflicting "facts" and a wide range of opinions. Huston and Everett were executed on February 15, 1864, less than seven weeks after the murder of Richard Waterhouse. They had "retracted the whole of their statements" prior to their executions. Kinsey denied everything. He was never brought to trial. Shortly after the victim's son returned from the Civil War, Kinsey was gunned down (May 10, 1865) by the "Waterhouse Party."

After the war, during the reconstruction period, things were difficult for Garrett. He salvaged as much as he could and continued on. In March 1874, he sold his steam mill, engine saw, and grist mill to W.S. Rhodes. He continued to buy and sell land. In 1875, he purchased 700 acres from his sister Lurena Curl, Thomas Curl's widow, for $1,000. The land was in Ellis County, and had been part of the Clairborn Garrett headright. He sold "for love and $100" a one-fifth interest in a section of land four miles west of San Augustine to Ella and Lafayette Sharp, his daughter and son-in-law. This transaction occurred in February of 1880."

Garrett died on January 12, 1884 at the age of 76. He was buried just a few yards northeast of his plantation home. That cemetery, known today as the William Garrett Cemetery, has twenty-five graves. Garrett was the father of thirteen children by two marriages. Both wives were buried with him, along with eleven of his children, seven daughters and four sons. Also near him are two daughters-in-law.

William married Mary "Polly" Grimmer Cartwright on 20 Oct 1833 in San Augustine County, Texas. Mary (daughter of John Cartwright and Mary E. "Polly" Crutchfield) was born on 1 May 1814 in Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee; died on 30 Sep 1846 in San Augustine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

William married Lucetta Teal on 18 Nov 1847 in San Augustine, San Augustine County, Texas. Lucetta was born in Oct 1828 in Arkansas; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Where was he at the time of the 1880 Texas census? Can't find at either his mother's home or in his own household.

Notes:

Was the census enumerator in 1880 for prencinct two of San Augustine County, Texas. Was unmarried and living with his widowed mother and two of his brothers.

Notes:

On the 1880 census, 15 year old Taylor Haygood, listed as "brother in law" to Thomas, was living in the home of Thomas and Gertrude Garrett.

Family/Spouse: Gertrude Haygood. Gertrude was born about 1858 in Louisiana; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Not living at home at the time of the 1880 San Augustine County census. Presumed to be either married or dead.

In Book Two of the San Augustine County, Texas Marriage book, there are marriage records listed for a "Mary Garrett" to Joseph Little in 1865, to Henry Sublett in 1869, and to Madison Sexton in 1876.

Mary would have been only 13 in 1865, presumably too young to have married Joseph Little. Joseph Little can not be located in San Augustine County in 1870 or 1880.

The Mary Garrett who married Henry Sublett in 1869 was somewhere born sometime between 1835 (ref: 1880 census) and 1842 (ref: 1870 census). As Mary was born circa 1852, she could not have been the Mary Garrett who was wed to Henry Sublett.

Mary would have been 24 in 1876, and would have been the correct age to marry Madison Sexton. No listing can be found for Madison and Mary Sexton in 1880 in San Augustine County. If they did marry, perhaps they moved away from San Augustine.

Notes:

John "Jack" Garrett appears to have died before the 1880 census, as his young wife, Annie Gilbert Garrett is living at home with her parents and he is not listed either with his parents or individually.

Family/Spouse: Annie Gilbert. Annie (daughter of William Gilbert and Sophronia ???) was born about 1858; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Was unmarried in 1880, and living with his widowed mother and two of his brothers.

Notes:

Where is he in 1880? Can't find on San Augustine census transcription.

Notes:

Assumed that this is the James Garrett that married Mattie Gilbert by the process of elimination. He and Mattie were both unmarried in 1880, and both still living in their parent's home. This is confirmed by examining the 1920 census, where James parents were both shown as born in Tennessee, and his brother Claiborne was living with him. The obituary of his son, Milton Garrett confirms this.

The only other possible candidate living in San Augustine in 1880, was a J.A. Garrett, born ca 1856 in Mississippi. This J.A. Garrett was also unmarried in 1880, living in prencinct 2, household #88-92 with his 60 year old widowed mother from Alabama. J.A. Garrett's father was listed as being born in South Carolina. The aforementioned "J.A. Garrett" appears to be unrelated to the other Garrett's in San Augustine, and as such would not be a direct descendant of Alcade Jacob Garrett of Tennessee.

Notes:

Presumably died before his mother. Not listed as a child of Mary Cartwright and William Garrett in Henson and Parmelees' book about the Cartwrights of San Augustine.

Notes:

Minta and her husband lived next to William and Lucretia Garrett in 1860. She appears to have died sometime thereafter, as in 1870, her three young children were living with the Garrett family, and in 1880, her son William was still living in the Garrett household, listed as a grandson. Henson and Parmelee, in their book THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, indicate that she died on typhoid fever, after an illness of seven weeks. (p. 220)

Clementine married Benjamin Frank Price before 1854. Benjamin was born about 1827 in Alabama; died before 1870 in San Augustine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Along with her cousins, Anna Holman and Victoria Thomas, she "Attended St. Mary's Hall, an elite Episcopalian finishing school founded in 1837 in Burlington, New Jersey, near Philadelphia...(enduring) terrible homesickness and culture shock upon...arrival in November 1854..(Mary) begged her father to 'come for me....We have no fire in our room and...it is so cold we do not know what to do...This is a lonesome place although there is so many girls, but they will not go with us they think that they are too good." (Henson and Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 174)

Henson and Parmelee also wrote that in 1862, Mary, "an old maid at twenty-two, also has typhoid, but recovered to help care for her deceased sister's children while their father was in the army." (ibid, p. 220)

Not living with her parents at the time of the 1880 San Augustine County census.

In Book Two of the San Augustine County, Texas Marriage book, there are marriage records listed for a "Mary Garrett" to Joseph Little in 1865, to Henry Sublett in 1869, and to Madison Sexton in 1876.

This Mary Garrett would have been around age 25 in 1865, and could have married Joseph Little. However, they can not be located either the 1870 or 1880 census of San Augustine County. If they did marry, he either died before 1870, and Mary next wed Henry Sublett; or they both moved away from San Augustine County prior to 1870.

The Mary Garrett who married Henry Sublett in 1869 was born sometime between 1835 (ref: 1880 census) and 1842 (ref: 1870 census). She was shown on both census transcriptions as being born in Texas, and that both her parents were born in Tennessee. This appears to be a good match for this Mary Garrett.

As Henry and Mary were still married in 1880, our Mary Garrett Sublett could not have wed Madison Sexton in 1876. Madison Sexton can not be located on either the 1870 or 1880 San Augustine County Texas census transcription.

Mary married Henry William Sublett on 15 Jul 1869 in San Augustine County, Texas. Henry was born on 27 Aug 1845 in San Augustine County, Texas; died on 23 Dec 1883. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Ellen married Lafayette Sharp on 5 Aug 1873 in San Augustine, San Augustine County, Texas. Lafayette was born about 1849 in Tennessee; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Ellen married Tom Hunt on 27 Dec 1886 in San Augustine, San Augustine County, Texas. Tom was born before 1853; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Attended Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee. (Henson and Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 285).

George married Martha R. Ray on 28 Jun 1876 in San Augustine, San Augustine County, Texas. Martha (daughter of James Ray and Mary C ???) was born between 1856 and 1858 in Texas; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There seems to be a discrepency with her age between the 1870 census (shown as age 10) and the 1880 census (shown as age 15). I am assuming the 1870 date is more accurate, based both on her age at the time of the 1860 census and her marriage date.

Eva married W.A. Field on 25 Oct 1891 in San Augustine, San Augustine County, Texas. W.A. was born about 1859; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
