1 I47321    James "Jim" Hubert  1 Jul 1925  28 May 2016  0  Obituary, copied from his FindAGrave memorial page:

Wonderful Jim Wood, who loved Pasadena and operated Strawberry Park Service Center here for more than 40 years, died Saturday, May 28th. He was preceded in death by his wife Dorothy J. Wood. He was survived by his son, Mike Wood and wife Mary Beth, his daughter Diane O'Neill and husband John, grandchildren, Dr. M. Todd Wood and wife Amy, Amy Wood Kuriger, Claire Wood, and Aidan Wood. He was also survived by his Great Grandchildren: Quinn, Connor, Alexander, Samantha, Catherine, and Spenser.

He grew up near Nacogdoches in a family with deep Texas roots. After a semester of Texas A & M, he joined the U.S. Army during WW2 at age 18 as a scout and marksman with the Field Artillery, serving in the invasion of Luzon. He was practicing as a member of the first landing wave in the invasion of Kyushu in Japan when news came of Truman's decision to bomb Hiroshima which he believed saved his life and millions of others. Harry Truman was the only Democrat he ever voted for. He vowed if he survived WW2 he would never again leave Texas and, except for two short trips to Louisiana for grandkids, he never did.

He was the rock upon which his family stood and for more than 40 years he operated honestly and effectively Strawberry Park Service Center beloved by his customers.
He was deeply a Christian believer and encircled in his Bible from 2 Timothy. : "My life is poured out like a drink. I have fought the good fight. I have run the race to the finish. I have kept the faith. Now I shall have the crown."

In his 90 years, he lived a generous, full and giving life. His family and world are lessened by his passing.

Interment will be held at Houston National Cemetery, 10410 Veterans Memorial Drive.

Juanita Johnson of New Mexico, a descendant of Mary June McGrew and her husband Benjamin Maddox, sent photographs of Elizabeth McGrew to Esther McGrew Hardin in San Antonio. She did appear to be Native American from the photo.

Court records show Elizabeth's daughter, Twiney Pierce married Hiram McLaughlin, so Elizabeth may have been married twice before, to a Pierce and a Patterson. (Twiney might also have been previously married). Twiney's marriage is recorded in Marion County, Mississippi, Marriage Record Book "A" 1812-1824, with "consent by James and Elizabeth McGrew for Twiney Pierce, daughter of Elizabeth McGrew.' Twiney married Hiram McLaughlin on 27 Sept 1823.

A divorce court in Marion Co, MS has a lawsuit between Francis Patterson and James McGrew about support for Twiney Pierce.

Wynena McGrew writes that she died of inflammation after being ill for 25 days in Limestone County, Texas. 		 STR06

FindAGrave notes that "Elizabeth's maiden name has been found as "Meuse", "Muse" and "Mews". You will also find trees listing her with the maiden name of "Hegler/Haglar" but we've been told by those researching her line that "Hegler/Haglar" was not her maiden name." The Hegler/Hagler confusion likely arises due to the fact that a grandson, also named Reese Mathews, married Liddie Elizabeth Hegler/Haglar.

Her surname, often repeated, is not certain. May be Aquilla Bierly.

She is also called Aquilla Byler, or Equilla Tiner (1850 census, listed as 90 years old; 1860 census, 98 years). She likely married 2nd Mr. Tiner.

Abraham & Jacob, were neighbors of the McLemores in Bedford & Giles Co. TN. When Amos McLemore bought land in Giles Co. in 1812, Abraham Byler, Jr. was one of the chain bearers for the survey. When Amos sold land there in 1816, Jacob Byler was a witness to the sale.

Byler is often described as a Swiss name, descendants of the Beiler family that immigrated from Bern, Switzerland to Pennsylvania. One family was that of Jacob Franklin Byler, born about 1765 in Pennsylvania - went with his parents to (now Rowan Co.) North Carolina where he later married Bathsheba Oxford, daughter of Samuel Oxford and Bathsheba Barrett.

Samuel Oxford's wife Bathsheba Barrett was the daughter of Jonathan Barrett (Perrot) and Jar Fly Jarman, said to have been a full blood Catawba Indian.

Some of the descendants of this family went through Tennessee. There is not a known link to this Equilla Byler. A lot of info is available on the Byler family.

When Amos McLemore bought land in Giles Co. in 1812, Abraham Byler, Jr. was one of the chain bearers for the survey. When Amos sold land there in 1816, Jacob Byler was a witness to the sale. It is possible that the surname for Equilla / Aquilla was taken from this, and not a marriage record.

A two page document entitled "McLemore History" by Rueben McLemore, Jr." states that when Richard McLemore "came to Lauderdale county he brought with him an old relation, a Mrs. Tiner. When she died he buried her behind the church he had built. One after another his family was added to the same plot until, after some time, the McLemore Cemetery was instituted and given to the usage of the public." The McLemore Cemetery is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and is located at the corner of Sixth Street and Tenth Avenue. Others buried there include victims of the 1871 riot and the 1878 yellow fever epidemic. 		 STR06

25 I20926  ???  Faith  Bef 1703  Bef 1771  0  Mark Freeman indicates that her maiden name : "might be Howell, Harrison, and Burwell...among others. McLemore, Harrison and Burwell names are linked through marriage, and include ancestors of the Presidents Benjamin Harrison and William Henry Harrison. Faith Magee/McGee is also suggested as a possibility in "B. F. McLemore"

James L. McLemore, III, in a posting to http://boards.ancestry.com/ notes that her maiden name is "possibly Edmonds, probably not Briggs or Magee." In his book, James explained that "one of her oldest grandchildren was named Howell, a family name or surname used frequently in the Edmunds and Briggs families as a given name; both of these families were related to Thomas Blunt (oldest son of Henry Briggs's first wife Mary, and father-in-law of Howell Edmunds) with whom, as already stated, the early McLemore family had had a close connection." (James L. McLemore, III, p. 55).

Jim White, another researcher, states that her maiden name was Briggs.

Faith's renunciation of John's will gave her a widow's life right in the homeplace, but she apparently died by 1771 when we find the last Virginia reference to Joel, the sale of his father's homeplace. The deed for transfer, dated March 6, 1771, and recorded March 21, 1771, was from Joel McLemore (without a spouse joining in) of "Coleton County" (Craven County?), South Carolina, to Adam FOY of Sussex. This deed (Sussex Deed Book D, p. 317) was witnessed by Burwell McLemore, among others. (James L. McLemore, III, p. 59). 		 STR06

30 I25625  ???  Isabella Ann  Abt 1828  Yes, date unknown  0  Most McLemore researchers show her as ROBERSON or ROBERTSON.

Carol Carvalho (carvaca1@yahoo.com) writes that she is not sure that Richard McLemore's 3rd wife was born Isabella Ann Roberson, however. After doing some research, she believes she is really Isabella Ann HAWKINS who was married first to a Roberson/Robinson. Her parent were John S. and Cassa Hawkins (her family line).

One of the reasons that Carol believes this is because she is listed in the 1880 US Population Census, Lauderdale Co., MS, p. 2B (p. 43B), ED 91, En. Date: 6/5/1880. T9-653 with the following information:

McLemore, Isabella..W..F..52..wife..Keeping house..AL..KY..GA.." (b. ~ 1828).

Carol knows the following: John S. Hawkins was born in KY and his wife Cassa was born in GA. She knows that Isabella is their daughter and was born in AL somewhere between 1826 and 1832. She married 1st a Benjamin Robertson/Roberson/ Robinson on Feb. 2, 1868.

Several member trees on Ancestry.com have this incorrect information as well.

The maiden name of Daniel's wife, Mary, has currently NOT been proven.

In an undated clipping titled LOCKHART ADDS TO HAWTHORN HISTORY from the JASPER NEWS BOY, provided to me by Kenneth Morgan, Carolyn Lockhart writes:

"...DANIEL (born 1802 in North Carolina) and MARY MORGAN....were Cherokee Indians and are buried in the woods at Roganville in Jasper County... "

In a letter to Melinda Strong, dated 4 September 1999, Carolyn further speculates that Mary Morgan could be "a Proctor because the Jone's witnessed a will in the adjoining county to Decatur for a Thomas Proctor. It is my personal belief (I never researched) that ...it was not feasible to register White-(Native) American marriages...they were frowned upon." It is interesting that marriage records can be found for all of Daniel's brothers, but no record can be located for his marriage to Mary. Carolyn added that "when Elizabeth was born in North Carolina in 1830--the family in North Carolina were running from the government who was about to push all the Indians to Oklahoma in 1836, so they packed up & headed for Georgia---because the Jones took part in running the Creek Indians out of Georgia in 1838."

Jo Ann Lee Gartig wrote, on 12 September 1999, that "All of my life I have heard that there was an Indian somewhere in the Lee family, but none of my aunts or uncles knew which branch. It was a surprise to hear it was not on the Lee side, but the Morgan side, which I had never suspected. I learned from Bonnie Jones Smith (great granddaughter of Elizabeth Morgan and chairperson of the Newton County Historical Commission) that it was Mary, wife of Daniel. Bonnie's older sister, Verbal, who died in an auto accident about 1995, told Bonnie that Mary was an Indian. It seems that when Verbal was in her early teens, her grandmother Sara Jane told her about her Cherokee Indian grandmother." Robert Wall of Pearland was also told tales by his grandmother of the Morgan's Cherokee ancestry while he was growing up.

In order to attempt to help prove the numerous family stories that Mary was a full blood Native American, a direct female descendant of Mary's volunteered to take an mtDNA test.The test was done by FamilyTreeDNA in Houston. They tested the mtDNA for HVR1 (16001 to 16569). The test was designed to show her mtDNA, any differences from the Cambridge Reference Sequence, and the meaning of probability between matches. The test would pinpoint which of the "The Daughters of Eve" Mary and her direct female descendant could be traced back too, as well as identifying the ethnic and geographic origins, both recent and far distant. Among other features, this test would indicate matrilineal Native-American Ancestry, and which of the 5 major groups that settled in the Americas were the most probable ancestors.

The volunteer had the following line of descent from Mary:

Mary* (Unknown), wife of Daniel Morgan
Elizabeth* Morgan, wife of Sion Jones
Sarah Jane* Jones, wife of Henry Cochran Jones (not related)
Ida* Jones, wife of Charles Gibson
DAUGHTER of Ida and Charles (private)
GRANDDAUGHTER of Ida and Charles (private)

The mtDNA results came back as HV, or Helena, a primarily European haplogroup, most prevalent in Western Europe. The single difference from the Cambridge Reference Sequence was CRS 16311 C. The HV results preclude Native American ancestry on the matrilineal track -- the haplogroup would have to be A, B, C, D or a variety of X to show matrilineal ancestry as Native American. Therefore it appears that Mary Morgan's mother WAS NOT a full blooded Native American. It is still possible, however, she had native american ancestors, but if so it was not through her direct maternal line.

We do now know that Mary's maternal line reaches back to the Helena Clan. Helena is from the Greek and means "light." This clan's descendants are the most numerous in Europe, having started 20,000 years ago from a hunting family in the Dordogne region of the ice-capped Pyrenees in southern France. As the climate warmed, Helena's descendants trekked northward to what is now England, some 12,000 years ago. Members of this group are now present in all European countries.

Prof. Sykes and Oxford University researchers in England have identified seven ancestral matriarchal groups from which all Europeans appear to be descended. Every European can trace his or her evolutionary history back to the seven ancestral mother groups, also referred to as the Seven European Daughters of Eve. Sykes et al obtained buccal cells from 6,000 individuals and analyzed the samples using the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis. It is known that mtDNA mutates at a very slow rate, such as 1 mutation in every 10,000 generations or 20,000 years. So they figured that the women would have lived between 8,000 and 45,000 years ago. What is amazing is that all seven of the genetic groups appear to be descended from the Lara clan, one of three clans that still exist today in Africa. This is called the African Eve theory. It was proposed in the late 1980's by Allan Wilson, Mark Stoneking and others. The African Eve theory states that all humans share a common African ancestor. Migration routes of the 7 daughters are at this site:

http://www.oxfordancestors.com

As of 2002, there are believed to be 36 distinct genetic groups worldwide. From Patrick Guinness, "In mtDNA, there are a maximum of 14 mutations between all humans (so far)." 		 STR06 
40 I18960  ???  Mary  Abt 1820  Yes, date unknown  0  Her maiden name might be Jones, or she might have been widowed from a Jones. At the time of the 1850 census, 6 year old Josephine and Octavia Jones were living with the Dandy family. They were living next door to the Mathew Jones family, also of North Carolina. If she was the widow Jones, then it would appear that only the youngest Dandy child, 1 year old Theodore would be hers. The other older children would likely have been born in Thomas by a prior marriage. Note the 6 year gap and age between 7 year old Martha and 1 year old Theodore.  STR06

1860-She is recorded as Mary Gentry. Polly is a familiar form of the formal name Mary.

1870 - "Mary Gentry, 65 years of age, born in Kentucky, died in August of this year in Grayson Co., Texas." Was this Preacher William's wife? It certainly seems highly likely.

1871-Land records from Grayson County, Vol 38 pg 442 dated November 6, 1871 show that Mary Gentry owned, with her husband William G., 20 acres of land situated about one mile west of Sherman on the Gainsville and Sherman road at the time of her death. (Grayson Co, TX Vol 38 pages 442, 443 & 444)

Charles Strong located the following probate record:

Grayson Co, TX Vol 38, pgs 442-444

The State of Texas, County of Grayson

Whereas on the 13th day of June, 1869, Mary Gentry, Wife of William G. Gentry, departed this life in said County and State leaving as her sole & only heirs the following named children to wit, John M. Gentry, James C. Gentry, Cyrus M. Gentry, Minerva A. Gentry wife of William J. Gentry, Sally M. Hodges wife of Benjamin F. Hodges, Jesse A. Gentry and Mary E. Gentry; and also the said Mary, dec'd, at the time of her death owned as community property with William G. Gentry, a certain tract of land situated in said County and State about one mile West of Sherman on the Gainsville x Sherman road and more particularly detailed as follows.....now the said Gentry suriviving Matrimonial partner of said Mary Gentry, desceased, as well as the heirs of the said Mary above named and who are all the lawful age to contract---being mutually desirous of settling the estate of said Mary and partitioning the same among themselves...have agreed with each other to partition said lands and to invest the title to the part set apart to each heir named in the portion so set apart and divest said heir of all interest in the remaining portion and they, the parties aforesaid, mutually agree that the followig plat and division of said lands illustrates substantially the division and partition agreed upon.

Witness our hands at Sherman this 6th day of November 1871

Signed by W.G. Gentry, J.A. Gentry, J. William Gentry, Minerva A. Gentry, Sarah M. Hodges, B.F. Hodges, J.M. Gentry, M.E. Gentry, C.M. Gentry and attested be L. Hare and Joseph Bledsoe

Could Mary's surname have been Miller? Her grandson by her son John Melton Gentry, William Miller Gentry, was clearly not given his mother's, Harpole surname, as his middle name. On the other hand it would have been quite reasonable for him to have received his paternal grandmother's surname.

However this has not been proven. As seen above, Sarah A.

Additionally, Sarah Fortson would have given birth to William McLemore at the age of 12 or 13.
