Archibald McVannel died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jane Leitch, on Garfield avenue last Thursday, October 25, after an illness of two years. His home is in West Lorne, Ont., and two years ago her and his wife came to visit their daughter, when he was stricken with the illness from which he never recovered sufficiently to return home. His sufferings have been intense all the time.

He was born in Scotland, June 18, 1815, and in the year 1848 took up his residence near Dutton, Ont., having been married in 1843 (sic) to Miss Mary McMillan, who survives him. Six children are living, three sons, Duncan, Daniel and Peter, all three of this place; and three daughters, Mrs. Jane Leitch, of this place; Mrs. T. H. Sloan, of Wascada, Manitoba; and Mrs. John Templeton, of West Lorne, Ont,; the last two mentioned being unable to attend the funeral. He also has one sister, Mrs. Hyndman residing near Dutton, Ont.

The funeral took place at the residence Saturday afternoon, Rev. E. H. Bradfield officiating and the burial was made in Elkland Cemetery. Deceased was a member of the Canada Presbyterian church and an earnest Christian man.

The relatives from out of town who attended were Mr. and Mrs. S. McGeachy of Imlay City; John Templeton and D. McMillan of West Lorne, Ont.

17418 I5821  McWethy  John Graham  7 Sep 1829  14 Nov 1913  0  The information below was all compiled by Ken Harvey:

Stephen McWethy and his wife Margaret Alexander adopted John, the infant son of a Graham. John was thought to have been born in Dallas, Darke Co. This recollected place of birth was probably incorrect.

The 1830 birth of a John Graham (significantly no parents are listed) is recorded in Butler [Co.], Ohio.

There is no suitable (or otherwise) unmarried Miss Graham, recorded in the Ohio census of 1830, who could have been the mother.

It now appears that John McWethy was probably the legitimate son of John J. Graham and his wife the former Mary Graham. He would appear to have been born twenty-nine months after their marriage and for some reason he was given up for adoption almost immediately.

It is possible that Mary, or John, died -or that the couple simply could not provide for the infant.

Other possibilities:

1830 - Hezekiah Graham (ca. 35) of Reily Township, Butler Co., Ohio and his wife Sarah Smith (ca. 29) had five children, all under ten years of age. They had married 5th Mar. 1820 in Butler Co. Clearly Hezekiah could have been John McWethy's father but he was probably a happily married man, at least when it came to procreation.

1830 - Thomas Graham (ca. 45) and his wife (ca. 45) of Middletown, Butler Co., Ohio, had one boy of about eight years of age. Also a possiblity.

Later John McWethy was a volunteer in the Union Army and served during the Civil War in Company C-187 in the Ohio Infantry Volunteer's Regiment. He was under Capt. John Manuel. This regiment was used in the mopping-up campaign in Georgia following General Sherman's march to the sea. He was discharged on 20th January 1866 at Macon, Georgia at the age of 37.

The John McWethy and Elizabeth Strait family moved from Darke County, Ohio, to Avilla, Jasper County, Missouri and later Duenweg, Missouri. This relocation occurred between 1867 and 1877

A grand-daughter of John McWethy, Miss Faye McWethy, ordered on 15 Aug. 1962 a "blue grey granite" tombstone to be inscribed - John McWethy Sept. 7. 1829 Nov. 14. 1913 and to be delivered to the Osage Cemetery, Oklahoma. The size was 1-8 X 0-8 X 0-6. Presumably this was feet and inches. Total purchase price was $61.80.

17424 I5824  McWethy  Stephen  25 Apr 1793  18 Mar 1868  0  The information below was all compiled by Ken Harvey:

Stephen McWethy's family is understood to have moved from New York to Ohio in the early 1800s. Presumably Stephen would have been an infant at the time of his parent's migration westward to Ohio.

There were only three McWethy families recorded in the entire New York State in 1790. They were [three brothers?]; Isaac McWithey (with wife and young daughter), Silas McWithy (with wife, three boys and two girls) and Rubin McWithy (with wife, two grown sons, a boy and two daughters) - all living in Granville Town in Washington Co., New York State. The probability is very high indeed that Stephen McWethy of Darke Co. was one of these unnamed young men, or boys, sons.

An Isaac McWethy was born 26 Oct. 1745 and d p. 1784. He was a Private in the New York [Militia?] during the Revolutionary War. There are no other McWethys listed in this source. Could Isaac have been the father of the three McWethy [brothers?] living in Granville? Alternatively he would have been forty-five, if alive, in 1790. Perhaps Isaac was the father of both Silas and Rubin.

1829, 14th Aug. - James Wight and Sarah (Sarey) [his] wife [both] of Darke Co. [sell] to Stephen McQuithy of Darke Co.; [for] $100; 78.88 acres [that is] all [of] East half, South-East Quarter of Section 10, Township 13, Range 2.

1830 - In 1830 Stephen McWethy (aged between 30 and 40-he was actually 37) was recorded as living alone in Richland Township, Darke Co., Ohio, with one white female in the same age category (she was actually 39), presumably Margaret Alexander. Later on the childless couple adopted John, the infant son of a person understood to be a [Miss?] Graham. Miss Graham was presumably from somewhere within the general area. We find in 1830 the birth of a John Graham (no parents listed) recorded in Butler [Co.?], Ohio, about sixty miles from Darke Co. It seems highly likely that this is the same John McWethy and it is of course possible that his father rather than his mother was a Graham.

After the adoption of John, biological children were understood to have been born to the McWethy couple, but all knowledge about them was lost by John's sons as their father apparently did not keep contact. They understood from John that their father had a good relationship with his siblings by his adoption. Given Margaret's age it is at least possible that further children were adopted rather than born.

The only McWethy head of household recorded in the census of Ohio in 1850 was a Moses M. B. McWethy of Franklin Township, Clermont Co.; ninety-five miles south of Stephen's location. Microfilm page 381.

This suggests that Stephen, who we know died eighteen years later, and his wife, had probably left Ohio. Alternatively Moses could have been a son and as head of household, sheltered his parents, who are unrecorded in the index.

We know however that the McWethy's were almost certainly still in Darke Co. as their grandson (by adoption), William Meade McWethy, understood from his father that they were buried there, near Dallas.

On July 28, 2009, Robin Zeller emailed:

Stephen McWethy and his wife Margaret are buried in the Hoschover Cemetery in Brown Twp., Darke Co., OH. To drive there, take 118 N out of Ansonia (Dallas), OH to Brock Cosmos Rd. Turn right. There will be an electrical sub station on the corner that is owned by DP&L. The Cemetery is back off the road about an 1/8th of a mile. One of the McWethy stones is still standing.

I was a Hoschouer and this was our family cemetery. I am in the process of getting the Twp. Trustees to do something about the Cemetary. I have a copy of a book that Anita Short and Ruth Bowers did in 1965.

There is also listed a wife Margaret who was 65y, 2m, 23d and died on 7 Dec 1856
Stephen McWethy was a veteran of War of 1812 and died on 18 Mar 1858 at 74y, 10m, 23d.

There are also some children of John McWethy in the same cemtery. They are.....

Her parents were Lonzo Horne Meador, b: 1888 and Jeanne Glynn McMurtry [adopted name of Wiseman] b: 1892

Lonzo Horne Meador's parents were: Martha Ann Oliver and James Thomas Meaodor. She listed no information on the Meadors beyond her father, Lonzo's birth year 1888 as he abandoned his family.

Martha Ann Oliver, who married James Thomas Meador, daughter of Anenias G. Oliver [DRT], born in 1822, TN. and Cassie Kennelia Allen, born 1822/24 Meridian MS, died April 7, 1910 in Geneva, TX, married ca 1838 in Milam, TX.

Cassie's parents were: Thompson Allen [DRT], b: Dec 22, 1802 in Elbert County, GA, d: Oct 18, 1870 in Geneva, TX, came to TX 1841 [see DRT], married Feb 8, 1821 [location not stated] to Elizabeth Wooldridge [DRT], b: March 7, 1804 in Abbeville Dist.

The fact that Virginia has noted DRT [Daughters of the Republic of Texas] and the DAR [Daughters of the American Revolution] would suggest you might find additional material with these two organizations.

Myrtle Springs receives marker

An official Texas Historic Cemetery Marker was dedicated April 28, at Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery. The day was also the cemetery's annual homecoming......

The newly placed marker reads:
GENEVA MYRTLE SPRINGS CEMETERY

Situated North of the small, rural community of Geneva, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery serves as the primary resting place for pioneers, settlers of the area, and their descendants. Originally granted to Juan Ignatino Pifermo in 1794, the town of Geneva grew in the 1820s when pioneers began to settle there from the east. Geneva was first known as Shawnee village and later as Jimtown, after two early settlers of the are, Jim Halbert and Jim Willis. Originally surveyed for Daniel F. Renfro in 1838, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery is comprised of land granted by Levi T. ALLEN in 1879 for use as a church and cemetery. The Geneva Baptist Church was first located on the present day cemetery site, but later moved south of the area. In addition, a school was once located near the cemtery near Myrtle Springs, organized by William Thomas Arnold.

The general landscaping of the cemetery is traditional with brick, marble, sandstone, grantie, wood, and metal grave markers. The first marked grave is that of William J. JONE from 1888, but Bible records indicate that there were earlier unmarked graves, including that of Wiley William CROW (1845-1877). Among the many pioneer families interred at this cemetery, there are veterans of the Civil War, including Wiley CROW, Seth Marion LAYFIELD (1833-1906), and James T. MEADOR (1845-1933), as well as veterans of World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Iraq War. Burials for members of the fraternal organizations such as Woodmen of the World are present. Today, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery Association maintains and cares for the cemtery, while also serving the community of Geneva. Historic Texas Cemetery -2010. 		 STR06

Per "The Handbook of Texas, Vol II" William Means was a native of Georgia and he came to Texas in 1832 and settled in present Sabine County, where he received his headright certificate on February 4, 1838. He served in the Texas Army from January 21 to April 21, 1836. During the battle of San Jacinto he was assigned to guard the baggage at a camp near Harrisburg. He was sheriff of Sabine County in 1836, and served as tax collector sometime before 1846. He represented Sabine County in the Eigth and Ninth Congresses, 1843-1845. He sold his headright certificate to H.M. Kinney. (He moved to DeWitt County by 1850.)

Per "Refugio" by Hobart Huson (appendix) Wm. Addison Means was a State Legislator from Refugio County in 1863. Wm. Means was a member of the Texas Republic Congress in 1843 and 1845.....in 1860 he is in San Patricio Co, also for 1870. So he must have been representing both San Patricio and Refugio in 1863. He died in 1876 in San Patricio.

On the 1860 San Patricio, Co TX census, he and his wife Francis are shown living with their son William, age 19, and four younger children Eliza (4), Hugh (4), Sam (2), and John (1).

MEANS - GARNER FUED taken from " The history of Patricio County Texas"
A former sheriff and the sheriff in office were shot and killed in San Patricio County in the early 1870s in a bitter controversy that disrupted the entire Meansville community and may have caused its abandonment. William Means was the son of Rachel Means, who came to Texas from Georgia with three children in 1832 and received a head right to 4, 605 acres in 1838 on land that is now part of the Lyndon B. Johnson Ranch. Means served in the Texas army and was later a Representative from Sabine County and served as the County's first sheriff before moving his family to San Patricio. His son, W. B. Means, was sheriff of San Patricio when Josiah Rodriguez was tried for murdering John Savage.
Means was a law-abiding citizen, respected in the community, however his three younger sons, John, Hugh and Alley, were in constant trouble with the law. Ed Garner was elected sheriff in 1874. The trouble between Garner and Means was supposed to have started as an outgrowth of an effort to stem the epidemic of Mexican cattle ticks. The loss in cattle was trememdous, and to combat the ticks cattlemen built dipping vats to treat the animals. All ranchers in the San Patricio area participated except the Means family. Finally ranchmen petitioned the sheriff to get a group of cowboys to round up and dip all of the Means cattle. This was done, and Means was billed for an amount said to be less than $35, which he refused to pay.
On January 30, 1876, Means' three sons rode to Papalote where they made the rounds of the saloons, rode up on the porch of one of the general merchandise stores, and began shooting up the store, hitting such targets as a barrel of lard, and a barrel of black strap molasses. The young men then retreated to their father's home in Meansville. Since Papalote was in Bee County, Sheriff W. K. Clark was summoned. He answered the call and sent word to Sheriff Ed Garner to meet him at Means' home. It was evidently in the early morning hours when the posse arrived. Sheriff Clark called out to Means to send the three sons out. After some time, Means appeared on the porch, wearing a long white nightshirt and carrying a rifle. Words were exchanged. No one seems to know who fired the first shot, but members of the posse reported that all Hell broke loose. Means went down. His daughter, Sarah, requested permission to go to her father, and, seeing that he was dead, ran back in the house screaming, "Pa is dead!." After the posse threatened to burn the house, the three fugitives filed out to be arrested. As Alley Means passed Sheriff Garner he said, "You killed my father. This isn't the end of it."
On Sunday, August 26,1876, the Garner family joined others in the community for evening worship at the Meansville church, Ed Garner saw Alley Means through the window and got up to go to the rear, leaning over to whisper to Marion Garner. "Alley Means is out there and I believe he is going to shoot me right here in church." These were the last words the Sheriff spoke. As he neared the door, a shot rang out from outside the double front door. Garner was hit. He turned and started back as another shot was fired, hitting one of the pews and ricocheting upward . Garner fell across one of the benches and died without saying a word, in full view of his wife, his children, and the entire congregation.
Alley Means was arrested for the murder and tried in Nueces County after the case was moved from San Patricio County. The Criminal Court of Appeals upheld the guilty sentence. Means family tradition holds that John Means, rather tha Alley, fired the shot that killed Ed Garner, anf that Alley was set up since he was young and single and more likely to draw a lighter sentence. In the report of Alley Means versus the State, Means descendants claimed that Means' body was riddled with double O buckshot, even in the soles of his feet. Both sheriffs turned themselves in after booking the Means boys. Both were no-billed by the Grand Jury.
After Garner's murder, a reign of terror prevailed in the community. No one lit a light at night in fear of attack by the Means family. Conditions eventually reached the point that the Texas Rangers were called in and an ultimatum was issued to the Means Clan to pack up and leave the County. Oldtimers said that 23 covered wagons headed up the trail as they left. Deed records bear out the fact that members of the Means family sold all their possessions in San Patricio County and were gone by the early 1880s.
Gov. John Irciand granted Alley a full pardon on May 9, 1885, after he served four years and two months of a life sentence. Means descendants have contended that $500 was paid for the pardon. Alley and his wife raised a family in Real County, apparently without anyone knowing about his past record. Other members of the Means family settled in Real County. 		 STR06
