| 23209 | I534 | Travis | Richard "Dick" Henry | Abt 1820 | Yes, date unknown | 0 | According to SABINE COUNTY HISTORICAL SKETCHES AND GENEALOGICAL RECORDS "Sophronia P and Ruth (White), both had married brothers, Cannon and Richard Travis, cousins of Wm. Barret Travis of Alamo fame (p. 58). The Travis men fought with Marion 'The Swamp Fox' in the American Revolution. R.H. Travis was the son of Wm Travis, and g.son of John and Arabella Hurst Travis. This Travis lineage is a collateral line of William B. Travis of Alamo fame (p.73)" According to MINUTES 1858-1890 OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HEMPHILL, Richard H. Travis was one of the eleven founding members of this church, along with his wife, Ruth C. Travis, as well as his brother and sister-in-law, Cannon and Sophronia Travis. Richard and Cannon Travis's membership in the church was rocky. On several occasions their membership was withdrawn, such as on 13 August 1859 when "Brothers R H Travis, Cannon Travis, & Wm T White came forward and acknowledge that they bin overtaken in a falt and beged the church to bare with them on a promise of assistence of that they would Refrain in the futer from such company where uppon the Church forgive them in love." Their occasions of sin seemed to center around "indulgin in profane swaring....and indulgin too mutch in intocking spirits." Over the thirty some odd years they were associated with the church, they were expelled several times, and usually soon readmitted. |

After graduation from Petal High School, Karlene worked several years in retail sales. A job change was in the making when at a USO facility a young USA Sgt Claude N McClelland was introduced to a lady with the most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen. The introduction began a courtship engagement and a loving and happy marriage that lasted just a few days short of 58 years. Karlene's goal in life was to establish a comfortable loving home. She succeeded in that goal with first a comfortable, loving home for she and Claude, then later expanded it as daughters, Olivia and Claudia were born. Her excellent sewing ability early on was directed to sewing for the girls then was diverted to quilting when the girls left home. A goodly number of quilts went to the daughters, her sister, nieces and special friends. In addition to quilting, Karlene greatly enjoyed raising flowers and the travels she and Claude made together. In addition to her parents, Karlene was predeceased by siblings Archie Maurice Travis, Nettie Perkins and William David Travis, all of Petal, MS.

Simeon maintained property interests in NC until after 1820, but by 1820 had moved north from Amite to Hinds County, Mississippi. His siblings were Lydia (b. 1754, m. Mr. Albritton); Sidi (b. 1756, m. Mr. Barrow); Amos (b. 1758, m. Frances Pierce, d. Moundville AL); Dolly (b. 1763, m. Amos Moore); Asa (b. 1767, m. Elizabeth Haddock); and Gideon (b. 1775, m. ??, d. Montgomery AL). Simeon married Mary Ann Stafford (1774 NC - 1842) from North Carolina and Georgia in 1792, and they had five children: Rhoda (b. 1796), Elizabeth (b. 1813, m. Daniel Carter), William Allen (b. 1815, m. Miss Easterling, then Sarah Chappell), Nancy Ann (1800-1883, m. Jonathan Granberry), and Ezekiel Stafford (1794-1879, m. Martha Jane Granberry, sister of Jonathan). The Travises were early members of Palestine Baptist Church in Hinds County, then moved to Perry County, and by 1850 on to Jasper County, Mississippi, where they were early members of Shady Grove Baptist Church near Heidelberg, where six generations of Travises and relatives are buried. Of his children, only Nancy Ann (Granberry), William Allen, and Ezekiel Stafford have numerous descendants from large families. Simeon and Mary Ann Travis are buried near the Buie River in the northwest corner of Perry County with Jonathan and Nancy Ann Granberry. The Travis Graveyard of this family is a National Park Service tour stop on Jamestowne Island in Virginia, and the Travises were a pioneer Jamestown/Williamsburg family. Ezekiel Stafford Travis and his wife Martha Jane Granberry moved from Perry County to southeast Jasper County, MS, to the Shady Grove area near Heidelberg. They were parents of William Stafford (b. 1819, m. Mary); Seth Granberry (b. 1822, m. Martha A. J., then Almina C.); William Allen (1823-1849, never married); Nancy Ann (1826-1847, m. John Cooley); Mary Ann (b. 1834, m. John Cooley after her sister Nancy Ann died); James Granberry (1831-1912, m. Susan Merrill Satcher); Elizabeth (b. 1821, m. William P. Cherry); Loammi Granberry (1838-after 1860, never married); Martha Jane (b. 1841, m. James Madison Walker); and Artalisa (b. 1846, m. Green Berry Merrill, then John C. Lyon). James Granberry Travis and his wife Susan Merrill Satcher, widow of Hugh M. Satcher who was killed in the Civil War, and daughter of Abel and Eliza Cooley Merrill from SC who emigrated to Wayne then Jasper County, MS, had twelve children. First, Susan and Hugh had four sons, William Watson (1856-1860), Robert Newton (1858-1934, m. Sally Jane McFarland), James Henry (b. 1859, m. Sarah Junetta Husband, d. Oklahoma), and Hugh Merrill (b. 1862, m. Mary Ella (Dollie) Lyon). After the War, Susan married James G. Travis, and they had Simeon Ezekiel (b. 1866, m. Martha Shelton Hall); Green Berry (b. 1868, m. Ida Leggett); Eliza (b. 1869, never married); Annie Bell (b. 1872, m. William Archie Stevens); Mattie (b. 1871, m. William A. McClellan); Susan (b. 1874, m. J. Oliver Trest, d. Florida); Ida (b. 1876, m. Robert Kelly, d. Jackson MS); and Madison Granberry (b. 1878, m.

| 23215 | I7221 | Travis | Theodosia | 25 Feb 1866 | Yes, date unknown | 0 | According to the MINUTES 1858-1890 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HEMPHILL, TEXAS, Theodosia Travis was received by experience and baptized by Minister J.J. Rountree on July 26, 1879. Elder Rountree apparently had more than Bible Study on his mind. In April, 1883, he was investigated for, and found guilty of "gross unchristian conduct. Guilty of Seduction and adultery...all the churches of which Eld. Rountree was Pastor of to be notified of the meeting and invited to send deligates to said meeting to participate inthe investigation and deliberations...Resolved further that this Church withdraw fellowship from Theodosia Travis for gross unchristian conduct." The charges against Rountree were sustained and fellowship was withdrawn from him in June 1883. No mention is made of the charges against Theodosia. (Note: These references might instead be to Theodosia's older cousin, also named Theodosia Travis, the daughter of R.H. and Ruth (White) Travis who was born in 1858. As is appears that the R.H. and Ruth Travis family moved from Sabine County prior to 1880, they are most likely about this Theodosia). Yvonne Parish Kattawar--Family Researcher (470 Piney Point, Sour Lake, TX 77659) reports that Theodosia married Milton Anthony. |

| 23220 | I15384 | Travis | William Barrett | 1 Aug 1809 | 6 Mar 1836 | 0 | The following biographical sketch on William is from the book: SONS OF THE SOUTH written by Clayton Rand, and published by Holt, Reinhart, and Winston in 1961. The author elected one hundred outstanding men of the South and gave facts on each. William Barrett Travis was the grandson of Elizabeth DeLoach(e) Travis. "WILLIAM BARRETT TRAVIS was only twenty seven when he died in the Alamo on March 6, 1836, leading 188 fellow compatriots in the chase of Team independence and into the pages of inaperishable history. Except for this one herculean feat there was nothing extrodinary in the brief career of this courageous young man. He was born hear Red Banks, Edgefield County, South Carolina, on August 9, 1809, the oldest of the ten children of Mark Travis and Jemima (Stallworth) Travis. In 1818 the Travis family moved to Alabama and settled in Conecuh County where William had such schooling as the limited means of his father and the frontier afforded. He studied law in the office of Judge James Dellet at Claiborne and before his twentieth birthday was admitted to the bar. While reading law and awaiting clients he earned his living teaching school. At nineteen, he married Rosanna Cato, one of his own pupils, and to them were born two children. The marriage was an unhappy one, for being financially embarrassed, Travis abandoned his family and went to Texas in 1831. A reconciliation was never effected, and they were divorced four years later. Travis settled in Anahuac, the legal port of Galveston Bay and the headquarters of a military garrison commanded by Colonel Bradburn, a Kentuckian in the Mexican service who was having trouble with the Americans. These were unsettled times in Texas. Mexico had gained her freedom from Spain in 1821 to become an independent state. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, American settlers invaded Texas, many under the impression that it really belonged to the United States or would one day. The issue was settled by the Treaty of 1819 with Spain, but the Americans continued to come in increasing numbers, even after a Mexican decree was passed in 1830 checking further immigtration. At the time Travis arrived the estimated population of Texas was twenty thousand, most of whom were from the United States. In 1832, Travis moved to San Felipe, where he set up a law office, was appointed secretary of the ayuntamiento, and became an ardent leader in local politics and of the "war party". The Americans were agitating for Texas independence from Mexico when Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, seized power in Mexico and became a political and military dictator under the title of "El Preidente". In 1835 Santa Anna decided to drive the Americans out of Texas and colonize the country with Mexicans. When Santa Anna sent troops to regarrison the fort at Anahuac, abandoned since 1832, Travis raised a company of volunteers and captured and disarmed the Mexican soldiers. Though this action was repudiated by many of the Americans seeking to avoid trouble with Mexico, public opinion soon crystalized in favor of Travis' action, and the Texas revolution began. American settlers won the Battle of Gonzales, Texans captured Goliad, they won the Battle of Conaepcion, San Antonio was captured, and the Mexican general Cos surrendered. Free of Mexicans, the Texas Declaration of Independence was issued at Washington-on-the-Brazos on March 2, 1836, and Texans with the exception of Sam Houston and a few others believed the war was over. Sam Houston thought Santa Anna would send reinforcements. Travis having performed valuable service in commanding a scouting company during the seige of San Antonio was appointed major of artillery, and shortly afterward was transferred to the cavalry with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He was ordered to occupy and reinforce the Alamo, which the Texans had taken in December, 1835, in joint command with Colonel James Bowie. When Santa Anna appeared with as many as six thousand troops, Travis answered a demand for surrender with cannon shot. Bowie was stricken with typhoid-pneumonia during the seige in which all of the 188 men under the command of Travis were killed. They fought bravely, asking no quarter in a desperate struggle, hand to hand, muzzle to muzzle, musket and rifle, bayonet and bowie knife. The "galant Travis" died beside his gun. Near his side fell James Butler Bonham, another of the ragged little garrison, a lifelong friend of Travis, who had borrowed the money to come to Texas that he might fight for its freedom. Between six and eight hundred Mexicans died in this fierce encounter that lasted an hout and a half. Travis was six feet tall, weighed about 175 pounds, and from all reports was as charming and congenial as he was courageous. At the early age of twenty-seven, he had scaled that loftiest of peaks where the famed reside, to take his enviable place among that exclusive company of patriots willing to die that others might live. No male defender survived. Santa Anna ordered the bodies burned. The fifteen or more who were spared were women, children, slaves, and servants. Under the cenotaph erected at Austin in memory of the defenders of the Alamo is inscribed this worthy tribute: "Thermopyhe had its messenger of defeat, but the Alamo had none." Letter to a Nation On February 24, 1836, the day after the Mexican Army arrived at San Antonio, William B. Travis wrote a letter asking for help and reinforcements. He had written other requests for aid, but this was different since the enemy had arrived and it was important for reinforcements to come quickly. This letter is one of the great pieces of both Texas and American history and speaks in immortal words of American courage. This letter made its way to newspapers all across America, and the inspiring appeal helped to rally the support of the American people around the Texas cause. With this letter, WBT became a hero, and with his gallant stand to the death less than two weeks later, his heroism was given permanence. In this text of the letter, the punctuation and words are as Travis wrote. Commandancy of the Alamo- Bejar, Feby. 24th, 1836 To the people of Texas & all Americans in the world-- Fellow citizens & compatriots-- I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna -- I have sustained a continual bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man -- The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken -- I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls -- I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch -- The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country -- VICTORY OR DEATH. William Barret Travis Lt. Col. comdt. P.S. The Lord is on our side -- When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn -- We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels and got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves. Letter to a Son The last letter Travis wrote to the world outside the Alamo was a letter to his son. This boy had recently arrived in Texas from Alabama and was staying with friends. It was written to David Ayers on a scrap of paper, and is one of the famous messages from the Alamo. Here is the text of the letter. "Take care of my little boy. If the country should be saved, I may make him a splendid fortune; but if the country should be lost, and I should perish, he will have nothing but the proud recollection that he is the son of a man who died for his country."

| 23254 | I6434 | Trawick | James Jackson | 2 Jun 1835 | 8 Apr 1899 | 0 | Lynell Gentry notes that his headstone lists him as being age 64 at the time of the death in 1899, which would make his year of birth as 1835 instead of 1838. Ken Harvey writes that they lived in Searcy, Arkansas when their their two oldest children were born. Sometime before 1871, when daughter Elzada was born, they moved to Coffeyville, Kansas; perhaps as a result of railroad advertisements promoting Coffeyville and Independence as two large towns on the Border of the United States and the Indian Territory. The Homestead Act, enacted during the Civil War in 1862, provided that any adult citizen, or intended citizen, who had never borne arms against the U.S. government could claim 160 acres of surveyed government land. Claimants were required to "improve" the plot by building a dwelling and cultivating the land. After 5 years on the land, the original filer was entitled to the property, free and clear, except for a small registration fee. Title could also be acquired after only a 6-month residency and trivial improvements, provided the claimant paid the government $1.25 per acre. After the Civil War, Union soldiers could deduct the time they had served from the residency requirements. This served to opened western lands to qualified citizens, the Indian Territory of Kansas and Oklahoma-home to more than three dozen tribes-was subject to a series of legal measures that reduced its extent. A new philosophy of assimilation favored bringing Native Americans into the United States as individual citizens, rather than allowing them lands and tribal sovereignty-a philosophy that conveniently left many acres open for settlement. However, these unassigned lands were not opened unitl 1889, and during the decades after the Homestead Act, settlers acting illegally forced the government's hand by squatting on Indian land. The Ingalls family, of Little House on the Prairie fame, was one of a group of white settlers who set up house on Osage lands in Kansas in the 1860s, before that tribe was removed (again) to Oklahoma. The Trawick family did not stay long in Coffeyville. Kenn Harvey noted that "after the Jayhawkers became active they moved back to Searcy, Arkansas." In the late 1870's the family moved westward again, this time to Texas. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_vault/2014/11/25/history_of_western_settlement_railroad_advertisements_for_settlers_to_move.html Wise County, Texas Deeds (researched by Charles Strong, 1998) Vol 33, Page 192-July 1890 JJ and Elizabeth Trawick sold land to R.Z.

The informant was her daughter, Mrs. F. M. Tillman of Mullin. Isora Casey died in Mullin, Mills County, Texas on June 28, 1941 of Apoplexy and Cardio Renal Vascular Diseases. She was born on Marcy 27, 1859, widowed, and a housekeeper. Her remains were to be interred a the Oakview Cemetery, Mullin, Mills County, Texas. Izora's husbands were; 1. Mr. Folson, Jolson or Tolson. (only thing I've found is a T. Tolson was a land owner in Mills Co. TX) 2. J.A. Gentry - married Sept 1, 1894 in Mills Co. TX) 3. E.F.

Casey died March 13, 1924.) On the 1900 census a 19 year old, single female, Attie Tolson (?), is shown as a daughter-in-law to J.A. Gentry.

Sheet 8- - Typed letter; Duncanville, Texas, Oct. 21 Honorable Geo. H. Sheppard, Austin, Texas Dear Mr. Sheppard- We have the pleasure of submitting to you the pension application of Mrs. Izora J. Casey, Mullen, Texas, who is the widow of the Confederate veteran, Jesse Gentry, deceased, but who was a life long citizen and soldier of this state. If there is anything short in this paper will be glad if you will so inform me. Truly, Chas. P. Nance (This letter is stamped; "Received Oct. 22, 1931 Comptroller's Office") Sheet 9- - Duncanville, Texas 10-25-31 Dear Mrs. Tillman and your mother, Mullen, Texas; We certainly have not only to thank you but congratulate both of you for the success attained. When papers are filed right then my source of information ceases. While the Comptroller recognizes my work as a pension agent very satisfactorily as a rule he goes by the law which directs that the action taken is to notify the applicant instead of myself. The approval of a pension means much not only to the applicant but to me. Our success as a pension representitive depends wholly upon the amount as well as the quality of work submitted; and let me add, the quality of work governs the weil or woe of my employer. I could not have represented your dear old mother if I had not at first gotten your confidence as a pension builder and she perhaps for a long time to come would have groped in darkness still because of her unbelief in me as such. I have never in all my life laid down on any work undertaken in all these years that have come and gone, and by the help of my friends and backing of strenerous years of hard study and work and a familiarity of what I profess to be and know, I cannot lay down on it now. My heart goes out in full sympathy and adoration for those grand old heroes who fought, bled and died a thousand deaths for your freedom and mine. My own parents bore the brunt of the conflict while it was on and my own dear brother, like thousands of others, was dragged from the bloody front more times than one as he fought valiantly to uphold General Parsons' and his flag. Let me say to Grandma that there once was a time in grand old Texas when to ask for pension was, to a greater or less extent, humileating in the extreme; then, it was a necessitous undertaking; an applicant must have wrapped himself in the cloak of indignancy and begged at the gate for mercy. But thank God and the unconquorable ties that binds true friendship together, a pension today is the reverse; it is a token- emblematic of true friendship- it is a reward, tho feebly bestowed, for a service nobly performed. Oh, where is there a Texas today who is not proud that he is not only a Texas but a defender of the Southern Confederacy. Texas still holds the faith in these old men and women as it did when mens souls were at stake back yonder in the sixties; they defended us then; today our great state, still cognizant of the fact, stands ready and willing to defend them now as they approach the last conflict of life. We extend our congratulations to your old mother and if we have been instrumental in strewing roses along her pathway, and increasing the faultering steps she has made into a firmer grip on life - if we have served to make her last days her happiest days, our labor in her behalf has not been in vain. Your friend, Chas. P. Nance Sheet 10- - Application for Mortuary Warrant The State of Texas, County of Mills } I, Mrs. F. M.

| 23273 | I6813 | Traywick | Andrew Marcus | 8 Oct 1846 | 0 | Carmen Trawick, a grandniece, said the family called him "Uncle Andree." She says he was smaller than his brother George, and always wore his suit. He was a gentleman with good manners. There are pictures of Andrew, dressed in a dark suit and celluloid collar. A wedding picture of his daughter Cora also exists. Confederate Veteran, XIX: 436 (1911) contains the following article: "A.M. Trawick was born in Carroll County, Tennessee, October 8, 1846. His death occurred at Nashville, Tennessee. In a reminiscence of his service in the army he wrote that he was residing in Clinton, Arkansas when the war began and that he sought to join his brothers George and John who had enlisted in the 10th Arkansas Regiment; but as he was under 15, he was not allowed to go. In October 1861, when another company was organized, he left school to go with it, and was sworn into the 16th Arkansas on October 29, 1861. He gives in his diary a history of the movements of the regiment and their severe experiences in Arkansas. On March 16, 1862, they started on a forced march for Cornith, Mississippi arriving there on April 12, a few days after the battle of Shiloh. When the army fell back, Bragg started into Kentucky, and the 16th Arkansas went under Price to Tupelo, Mississippi, remaining there until September 15th, when it moved back to Iuka, where they had a hard fight on the 19th. They fell back again after that battle to Baldwin, Mississippi. About October 1, General Price and Van Dorn joined forces and on the 3rd and 4rth a terrific and disastourus charge was made on the Federal fortifications at Cornith. The 16th Arkansas was ordered about November 1 to Port Hudson, where they went into winter quarters. On February 18, 1863, young Trawick was promoted to lieutenancy. On March 14 the Federal fleet under Farragut advanced up the Mississippi with gunboats and moters. Two ships, the Harvard and the Monongahela, passed by the forts, but the famous old warship, the Mississippi, was set on fire and destroyed. This is a memorable event to all survivors of the forces there. Admiral Dewey was on of those captured upon leaving the burning ship. The mortor shells, thrown with great dilengence during the engagement, created consternation, as they could be observed by burning fuse going very high in the air and exploding with well-ordered fire as they fell. During that siege, Lieutenant Trawick was a volunteer with some men to occupy a most perilous position. In his written record he does not refer to it, yet he gave a thrilling account of it at a meeting of the Frank Cheatham Camp, U.C.V. After the surrender of Port Hudson, Lieutenant Trawick was one of those sent to Johnson's Island prison. he carried with him three books taht he took from his home: a Bible, Davie's Arthmetic, and Smith's Grammar. As soon as was practicable he to his books a list of useful ones, and became quite a close student. He read the Bible through twice and the Testament seven times. He was baptized in Lake Erie on March 27, wading through the ice to proper depth. His diary tells briefly of hardships in prison, and that they were kept on Johnson's Island until March 21, 1865 and thence sent to Fort Delaware, and kept there until June 13, 1865, when they were released." The Godspeed Histories: Columbia, Tennessee, 1872 also contains a biography of Andrew, and also details his Civil War service. The article incorrectly describes the origins of the Trawick family, but otherwise is a useful piece. "Andrew M. Trawick, M.D., was born in Carroll Co, Tenn, October 8, 1844, son of John and Diana (Cook) Trawick and of Scotch-Irish lineage, the Trawick family is traced to the great-grandparents of our subject, who came to America from Belfast, Ireland in 1765. The great-grandfather was on of nine brothers who were all said to be soldiers in the Revolutionary war. The grandfather was Robert Trawick, a native of North Carolina. Our subject's father was also a North Carolinian and was born in 1792. His mother was born in 1803. The father died in Tennessee in 1848 and the mother in 1860. Andrew M. Trawick was the youngest of nine children and was reared on a farm. In 1860, he went to Arkansas and there, contrary to the wishes of an elder brother, attended school having a thirst for knowledge. In 1861, he enlisted in Company F, 16th Arkansas Volunteer Infantry as a private and was afterward promoted to 2nd Lieutenant. He was in the battle of Elkhorn, in 1862, Cornith and Port Hudson, where he was made prisoner of war. He was taken to Johnson's Island, Ohio, where he remained until the close of the war. During his imprisonment he made good use of his time and still continued his studies. In 1865, he returned home to Tennessee, and a year later began the study of medicine in the office of Dr. A.J. Weldon, who was a benefactor to him. He attended lectures at the University of Louisville, and subsequently located near Davis, Tennessee, and there continued the practice fourteen years. He was appointed President of the Stewart County Medical Society in 18?? and in 1881 he attended Vanderbilt University, and in March of that year graduated from the institution. In 1881, he cam to Clarksville where he since continued, doing an extensive business. He was married in 1867 to Mattie B. McSwain, a native of Henry County, Tennessee, born in 1849. Of their eleven children ten survive: Archibald, Arcadius M., Ada, John D., Cora M. , Lulu B., George C. , Clara B. , Mary E., and Thrope B.. Our subject is an ardent Prohibitionist, a Mason and K. of H. In 1863, while in prison, he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and he and his wife and five children are earnest members of the denomination. He is a prominent and self-made man and excellent citizen." |

In the 1790 census of Edward Hocut we are probably far off in in calculating his age and that of his wife, and in estimating the date of their marriage. "3 free white males 16 years and upwards including heads of families, 4 free white males under 16 years, 6 free white females including heads of families." By checking the 1800 Wake County, NC census, we find that something there is either misinformation, or we do not know all the facts. Edward Hocut "Males, 4 0-10; 1 16-26; 1 26-45; females, 1 1-10 years, 1 26-45 years." Edward Hocutt made the following conveyances of land, as recorded in Wake County, NC deed books: 12 Feb 1785 Edward Hocut of Wake Co to William Hocutt of Johnston Co, land partly in Wake and partly in Johnston, on Buffalo Creek; 150 acres conveyed to Edward by Lodowick Alford, and now conveyed to Edward's brother, William.

They lived in South Carolina until 1833 or so. Later the family moved to Mississippi, where Esther was thrown from a horse. Because of subsequent complications, she died May 28, 1845. Prior to her death, Esther and her family were introduced to "Mormonism" and in September, 1844, one of her married daughters, Louisa Taylor Worick and husband Thomas Worick were baptised. The other daughters joined the church after their mother's death, and all three girls were among the early settlers of Utah. (Courtesy of Lynell Cordell) |

| 23278 | I6812 | Traywick | George Washington | 22 Nov 1844 | 20 Jan 1927 | 0 | He was 6'7" and weighed between 235 and 250 pounds. He was a confederate soldier, a corporal in the 10th Arkansas Infantry, Company C, nicknamed "Choctaw Rifles." He served with his older brother, John Gideon Trawick. The 10th was at Shiloh and Cronith, then was surrendered at Port Hudson shortly after Vicksburg fell, on July 4, 1863. After they were exchanged they went onto General Shelby's raid into Kentucky. During the war, George was captured by bushwhackers and came home either on parole or furlough, with a friend. Both men were stood on a high riverbank at gunpoint, facing the river with their backs to their captors. George's friend was killed with a shot to his head. George dived off the bank into the Red River and swam for his life. This story was still being repeated by his descendants in the 1980's. There is much speculation about the identity of the friend. George was a strong patriarchal figure in his family, with great influence over his children and grandchildren. He was a succesful cotton farmer and enjoyed a good deal of community respect. He split up his farm and gave each child 100-120 acres plots as they were married. His home was destroyed by a tornado in 1923. He was remarried to a Frankie D. George was known as an eccentric, strong willed character in Quitman, not someone to be crosssed. The town banker, Ben Clark, recalls a knock at his door late one evening. George was there, pointing out a minor error on a deposit slip. Ben's punch line was that the mistake was in George's favor. He was a proud, independent man who didn't want to be obligated to anyone. He was Methodist. |

Lunsford and his family were living in Georgia as early as 10 March 1800, at which time Lunsford conveyed 220 acres of land (granted him Francis Traywick) in Wilkes County, to John McGinty (Wilkes County Deeds, Book Y, p 507) Lunsford and his wife lived in Clarke County, Georgia where he died in 1809. Lunsford Traywick of Clarke Co, Mitchell's district, lottery #131, section 13, drew land in Baldwin County, Georgia 1806 Georgia Land Lotteries. Lunsford died in 1809 and among the buyers at the sale of his estate were: Martha Trawick, Robert Trawick, Allen Trawick, Spencer Trawick, Mrs. Trawick, Hugh Neister, John Ramey, Caleb Arthur, George Carter, and others. Robert Trawick was administrator of the estate. Returns for the estate include the following: 1810 Cash Paid Uriah Humphrey for note $138.77 Burwell Trawick $6 Thomas Stephens, Esq. $29.85 Hugh Trawick $6 Allen Trawick $31.50 John Smith C O C $4.75 Doctor Neisler $42.43 and others 1815 Returns on Estate of Lunsford Traweek Paid Spencer Trawick Paid Martha Trawick Paid Wm.

Sworn to in open Court Nov. 2, 1818, by Robert Trawick, who make settlement of his administration and obtained dismission of the future administration of said estate. John H. Lowe, Clerk, Book H, p 213. By 1830, Martha and her children, several of them married, moved to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. (Above courtesy of Lynell Cordell) Sam Lenaeus, slenaeus@aol.com, supplied the following additional information about this family: 1820 Clarke County Census Trawick Martha 109 pg107.txt 10 | Martha Trawick | 0 1 0 0 0 0 | 0 1 0 0 1 | 0 | 2 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 | 0 1 (Martha Seger born 1760 Germany) 1821 Capitan Browns District Kinney, John 80 & 80 acres originally granted to Few joining Trawick, Clarke County, Oconee headwaters. 1823 Clarke County, GA Tax Digest Capt. Gahagan's Dist Athens Weir, Samuel 120 & 160 acres orig granted to Duke & Trawick joining Kinney, Clarke Co, Oconee headwaters. (Weir married a daughter of James Kenny & Sarah Alexander) Lunsford Trawick is noted in the 1805 Sarepta minutes as a licensed preacher, the only Crooked Creek member named as a minister prior to 1837. It seems likely, given that the church had only 34 members at the time, that Trawick served as pastor in 1805, though this is unconfirmed. Trawick moved his membership to Mars Hill near Watkinsville in 1807 and died two years later. This seems to indicate that he may be buried in the Mars Hill cemetery, but if so his grave is unmarked. Trawick's daughter Esther married Johnson Freeman, and the couple are listed on the 1850 Crooked Creek church roll. Of note to local residents is the fact that longtime piano teacher Miss Montine Head of Jefferson was a direct descendant of Lunsford Trawick through Johnson and Esther Freeman. |

| 23285 | I7987 | Traywick | Rebecca | 1754 | Yes, date unknown | 0 | Two months after Robert Trawick bought land in Wake County, James Watson entered 640 acres of vacant land in Wake County, lying on the north side of Neuse River and the south side of Farmers Cree, joining Col. John Hinton's land on Neuse River (entry 272, 9 May 1778). On January 17, 1779, James Watson conveyed to John Hinton Sr 555 acres on Poplar Creek, part of which had been given to Watson by Robert Trawick. (Book Q of deeds, pg. 112). In Deed Book R, pg. 10, and in 1801-2, we learn that David Hinton received land from James Watson and Rebekka, his wife, land granted Robert Traywick, dec'd by State, and drewn in lot #7 by James Watson and Rebekka in the division of said Trawicks land, 19 May 1801. James Watson in the 1790 census of Wake County has 1 male 16 years and upward, including heads of families; 3 males under 16 years, and 4 females including heads of families. If these are all members of Watson's family, we can assume that the three boys and three girls range in age from 14 or 12 years to 2 years, thus arriving at Watson's approximate date of marriage. From the 1800 census of Wake County, we learn that James Watson had the following numbers: males, 1, 1-10 years; males, 1, 10-16 years; males, 1, 16-20 years; males, 1, over 45 years (James born before 1755); females, 3, 1-10 years; females, 1, 10-16 years; females, 1, 16-26 years; females, 1. over 45 years (Rebecca born before 1755) (Courtesy Lynell Cordell.

| 23287 | I6806 | Traywick | Rufus L. | Nov 1833 | Abt 1910 | 0 | Rufus was born during an auspicious month. On November 13, 1833, between midnight and dawn, thousands of meteors showered the sky over North America. To the native peoples of the land, it appeared that the stars were falling out of the heavens. Some thought it was the judgment day. Others called it "The Night the Stars Fell". A young girl who was a slave at the time of the event said "Somebody in the quarters started yellin' in the middle of the night to come out and to look up at the sky. We went outside and there they was a fallin' everywhere! Big stars coming down real close to the groun' and just before they hit the ground they would burn up! We was all scared. Some O'the folks was screamin' and some was prayin' we all made so much noise, the white folk came out to see what was happenin'. They looked up and then they got scared too." The celestial phenomenon called "the most impressive and awesome display ever recorded" was, in fact, the Leonids meteor shower seen in one of its most impressive years. Viewers witnessed 50,000 to 150,000 meteors per hour, only equaled by the November 17, 1966 display, when the Leonid shower brought 150,000 meteors per hour. Debris from the comet Temple-Tuttle that orbits the sun every 33 years causes the shower. He spent his childhood in Tennessee, and didn't go to Arkansas in 1860 with his brothers and sisters. He moved there after his second marriage, to a Nancy, sometime after 1880. Family stories say that he served in the CSA, but the records have not been found to substantiate this. He supposedly lost a finger during the war. Rufus must have been either a minister or a Justice of the Peace, as he was able to perform marriage ceremonies. (Source: Betty Curry of Muskogee, OK; Courtesy of Lynell Cordell) About 1904, Rufus's wife Nancy was in the kitchen of their home near Gravesville, Arkansas. Having just churned, she ladled the butter onto a dish and was working the remaining milk out of the butter with a large spoon. At that moment, a tornado ripped off the roof of the house, leaving only the walls standing. The entire interior of the ruined, roofless home was littered with debris from the storm, then drenched with rain. Nancy surveyed the damage and commented "I'll swan. My butter's ruined!"
