Dee --------------------- Forwarded message: From: [email protected] (AMcGowan) Sender: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: 97-05-23 02:15:09 EDT Over the years, I have collected a lot of misc. info about the Arledges. I have in my possession a copy of a Confederate pension of one John Arledge in Callahan Co., TX. He was a member of Company C, 7th Texas Cavalry, C.S.A. His daughter was Emma Arledge Huckabee,born 1868. Anyone's line? I, too, have the will of John Arledge Edgefield District as well as a will of Isaac Arledge Senr. of Fairfield Co., the 1st census which we all seem to have. Pam, I have Moses D. Arledge born in Alabama on the 1850 census in Milam Co. I suspect he is kin (maybe a brother to my John Hugh), but I can't seem to find anymore about him except from the Texas Archives: Arledge,M.D., Pvt/McCulloch, R. Capt. Co. for Milam Co., 27th Brig., Gen.E.S.C. Robertson commdg.,TM June 1961. I have a handwritten census acct on a computer file index (don't remember where it came from; looks like L.D.S.) with Isaac Morgan Arledge b.0219 1910 in Falls?/Under that: Reual(?) Young Arledge 0820 1908 Grayson, and Texana Arledge 0119 1869 in Williamson, Georgetown. An interesting letter I have written by my great aunt Alberta Arledge Harris says:"Pa's peopl had slaves, seemed to me they lived in Miss. so did Ma's & she never did hav to work so she never did learn much & at that early age what could she do?.. Aunt Emma said they buried money some where, I guess she ment in Miss. if they lived there. Said when they were on the run they would hide the money in the hearth or old chimney so if they went back they could find it." I have a handwritten note from my grandmother that lists the following in Mississippi: ?Arledge Ike Moses another one two or three brothers came to Texas in 1829 fought Indians for six years, one was killed; the other two fought in the war of 1836, one more was killed; Moses Arledge was in the siege of the Alamo. (this was all hearsay; I've never found an Arledge in the list of Alamo heroes) In a book of Fannin county, there is an article about William and Joe Arledge (brothers) who left Alabama in 1852 to homestead in Texas. The community of Arledge Ridge (redundant?) became a thriving community. The Arledge Ridge cemetary is all that is left of the community except for the school building which is used for a community club house. If anyone wants a copy of this article, let me know. I don't have a scanner or I would scan it (it has a photo of the brothers), but I will be glad to snail mail it to anyone of you. I have piles and piles of misc. stuff like this, but like most of you, I've had trouble making sense of it all and linking it all together. Maybe working together, we can do it. Charlene
