There is a lovely lady who is looking through old Van Buren AR newspaper films and sending interesting articles to the Crawford Co. mail list. Here are two below that are of my HInds family. The last I heard they had gone to CA in 1852-53. Now, I know that they visited back home again. Edward HInds and Catherine Rudy both died in Tulare Co. CA Edward Hinds, his brother Archibald Yell Hinds, and Archie's black pal Wiley Hinds traveled to CA via TX and Yuma in 1852 or 53. Three interesting articles from Van Buren newspaper below. It looks as though Edward traveled in Sept 1858 and 1859 to visit his mother, Margaret Ann (Mattix) Hinds Autry and possibly his grandmother Esther Hinds Eppler was stil living. Then in Jan. of 1860 - he returns to marry Catherine Rudy.

Hi: The operative phrase in the story below is: "There were at that time only three families in what was then called Haight\\\\\\\'s Settlement (later South Danby) - Old Haight on the Robinson farm (later known as the old Hinds place); Old Nelson, on the Andrew Beer\\\\\\\'s place; and the Van Kleecks who lived on the flat-iron, as it was called, opposite the later Rankins place" The story does not seem to agree with the Migration steps named.

SENECA8 HOWLAND (CHARLES7, COOK6, JAMES5, NATHANIEL4, ZOETH3, HENRY2, HENRY1)1,2 was born 12 Feb 1780 in Beekman, Dutchess, New York, and died 26 Jul 1831 in South Danby, Tompkins, New York3. He married AGNES KING 14 Dec 1806 in Ithaca, Tompkins, New York3, daughter of FRANCIS KING and MARY JONES. She was born 17 Mar 1788 in New Jersey, and died 19 Mar 1859 in South Danby, Tompkins, New York. Notes for SENECA HOWLAND: It was nearly sunset on a day in the latter part of March, 1805. The past winter had been severe and the snow yet lay on the ground to the depth of two feet or more. From the top of Breeds Hill (the old Dug Road, near the southwestern corner of the Military Tract of New York State) might have been seen a newly-chopped road winding up through the woods, the stumps still sticking up through the snow and the logs hardly dragged aside far enough for a team of oxen to pass along. The snow lay as deep here as elsewhere in the woods and was only beaten down into a narrow path by the boots of some footman who had gone down to Mr. Sheneck\\\\\\\'s at the Half Way House in the valley (later Morg. Whites) for a jug of \\\\\\\"groceries\\\\\\\". Along this rough wood-road two yoke of oxen were slowly pulling a long sleigh up the steep hill that rose westward from the upper valley of the Catatonk creek. On the sleigh were piled a few household goods and on them sat two young women, one carrying in her arms a baby seven months old and the other holding a little girl of two years. The driver of the oxen, who tramped alongside was a young man of twenty-five, slim, straight and of medium height, his beardless face shaded by a heavy cap, beneath which looked out a pair of deep blue eyes. His whole appearance betokened a long, hard journey. Behind the sleight walked another young man of nineteen with an axe on his shoulder. It is needless to say that the two men were Seneca Howland and his younger brother, James; while those in the sleigh were Seneca\\\\\\\'s wife, Polly Hagermann Howland and her sister, Betsy Hagerman with Seneca and Polly\\\\\\\'s two children, Levinah Anne (b. 2 Jan. 1803, d. 13 Sep 1805) and Charles Henry (b. 13 Aug 1804, d. 23 Sep 1805). The family were coming from Fishkill in Dutchess County, New York and were just arriving at their new home in the forest after a winter journey of some 250 miles through the Catskills and via Binghamton and Owego. Seneca had been out the summer before and had chopped a small clearing in the woods and built a log house and barn. There were at that time only three families in what was then called Haight\\\\\\\'s Settlement (later South Danby) - Old Haight on the Robinson farm (LATER KNOWN AS THE OLD HINDS PLACE); Old Nelson, on the Andrew Beer\\\\\\\'s place; and the Van Kleecks who lived on the flat-iron, as it was called, opposite the later Rankins place. It took no small courage to bring a family to such a wild country at that time of year, but Seneca\\\\\\\'s early life had been such as to give him considerable self-reliance. Seneca\\\\\\\'s father, Charles, a Quaker, was a wheelwright and he himself had learned that trade while young. His first start in life, however, was obtained by delivering newspapers. When about ten, he was hired as helper by a man who had a contract to deliver papers to the country about Fishkill. In this way he earned $30.00 with which he bought a pony and thereafter carried on a considerable business of his own in delivering papers through the neighboring country. Apparently, papers were not mailed to subscribers in those days but were sent to agents who undertook their delivery. Seneca continued in the employment of one Nicolas Power until he was twenty years old, by which time he had saved the sum of 71.6.3, or $178.28. Meanwhile, when time permitted, he also worked at his trade of Wheelwright and by the time he was twenty-one he owned a shop and five acres of land in Fishkill. During the next four years he bought various other plots of ground and when, at the age of twenty-five, he moved with his wife and children to the frontier, he owned about twenty-four acres for which he had paid $615.50. When he was twenty-one, Seneca had been appointed a constable of the township and, as the business of that office was considerable, he became fairly well known thereabouts. In the village itself lived an old and aristocratic Dutch family, the Van Wycks. Gen. John B. Van Wyck had recently acquired 6,000 acres of the old Watkins and Flint Purchase in south central New York, and needing someone to look after his interest there, offered the young constable the position on condition that he settle on the tract and act as Van Wyck\\\\\\\'s agent in the sale of the land to other settlers. It was thus that the late winter and early spring of 1805 found Seneca moving out to the new country with his family and household goods. With the help of his brother James, some land was cleared in time to sow crops that season. But it is evident that his family never fully recovered from the hardships of the long journey through the winter snows of 1805. In the fall of that year his little daughter Levinah Anne, two and a half years old, died and ten days later his little son Charles Henry. Nor was this all. In the following winter his wife Polly succumbed to tuberculosis and died on the 17th of March, 1806, just a year from the time she came into the wilderness with her husband and children. This left Seneca and his Brother James alone, for his wife\\\\\\\'s sister, Betsy Hagerman, had gone back to Dutchess Co., a month before Polly\\\\\\\'s death. But thier work forced the two brothers to put all other thoughts aside. Seneca had taken up 400 acres of land and much new ground had to be cleared. In the latter part of the summer of 1806 brother James, growing tired of the hardships of the frontier, also returned to Dutchess County and Seneca was left entirely alone. During that summer of 1806 he made one or more trips to the little village of Ithaca, and either coming or going (or both) had stopped at the tavern kept on South Hill, some three miles from Ithaca, by Francis King, a veteran of the Revolution who had taken up land here on the Military Tract. At this tavern he had seen and been seen by the tavern keeper\\\\\\\'s daughter. A story handed down in the family relates that when this 18 year old girl, Agnes, first saw the young widower she announced to her family that he was the man she was going to marry. At any rate, she and Seneca Howland were married 14 Dec. 1806, nine months after his first wife\\\\\\\'s death. Thus he obtained a companion in his loneliness and we acquired a grandmother. Agnes King was a young woman of great energy and, I suspect from the reminiscences of my uncles and aunts, of a harsh and rather dictatorial character. From the time of this marriage a new energy and thrift were give to Seneca\\\\\\\'s fortunes. His new wife made him give up 200 acres of his land and devote himself to the improvement of the remaining 200. His property in Dutchess County had been sold the winter before by his father-in-law, Hendrick Hagermann, for 550 pounds, equivalent to $1,375.00; but a large part of the money went for the payment of old debts in that place, leaving but $500.00 to pay on his land in South Danby. During the following winter (1806-7) Seneca visited his friends in Fishkill, the first of several visits made to his old home. From the time of his second marriage until his death there were few events that varied the steady routine of work. His son, Francis King Howland was born in September 1807 and from then until 1820 his family increased with great regularity and precision - eight children being born during the first twelve years of his second marriage and three other children thereafter. In 1810 Seneca was elected Justice of the Peace, and ever afterwards was looked upon by his neighbors as a man who had profound knowledge of the law. In fact, he was regularly re-elected to the office until his death. In 1812 he was appointed Ensign of the 95th Regiment of the New York militia. Five years later he was promoted to Captain. Later, on the death of the Colonel, he was offered the colonelcy of the regiment, but Agness would not allow him to accept the command, evidently thinking he had enough to do at home. In 1827 he was confronted by a serious lawsuit. Gen. Van Wyck gradually formed a dislike of his agent in Danby. The two had maintained close business relations for twenty years, but their characters were wholly unlike. Seneca was kind-hearted, rather easy-going man, not very prompt in doing business. He had a habit of putting off disagreeable things, a habit not infrequently found in kind-hearted men. On the other hand, Van Wyck was keen and grasping and insisted on the new settlers living up to the letter of their agreements. If thier payments fell the least in arrears, he kept writing to his agent to have them ejected at once from their holdings, but the latter was unwilling to proceed to such hard measures against his neighbors. Old Mr. Bingham used to say, \\\\\\\"Old Van Wyck would keep writing out \\\\\\\'Fire! Fire!\\\\\\\' and Squire Howland would keep writing back \\\\\\\'Water! Water!\\\\\\\'\\\\\\\" Thus, partly because of this, as well as because Seneca had not made any further payments on his own land since coming out to Danby, Gen. Van Wyck in 1824 revoked Seneca\\\\\\\'s power-of-attorney and appointed another man as agent. He also charged Seneca with poor management and dishonesty; but it was not until 1827 that he brought suit against him the the State Supreme Court for $800.00, a sum he claimed owing him for lands sold by Howland during the latter\\\\\\\'s agency. Grandfather brought forward a counterclaim against Van Wyck for $1,000.00 for improvements made on the latter\\\\\\\'s land, for taxes paid and surveys made thereon and for his own commissions of 4% on the lands sold. The counter claims were finally left to three referees, who decided that \\\\\\\"John B. Van Wyck was indebted to Seneca Howland the sum of $158.36\\\\\\\", thus vindicating the latter from any charge of dishonesty. But the pressure of the law suit together with Van Wyck\\\\\\\'s demand for final payment for his farm, forced Seneca in July, 1827 to borrow $600.00 for which he gave a mortgage on his land. Four years later, at the time of his death, one-half of this mortgage had been paid off; but it was not until several years later that the remainder of the debt was discharged. In 1829 Seneca was seized with a lameness in the knee which soon developed into what was then called the \\\\\\\"white swelling\\\\\\\" (later known as tuberculosis of the bone). This was treated by Dr. Beers and Dr. Curtis, but their treatments were unavailing, and a \\\\\\\"capping\\\\\\\" of the swelling, is was said, scattered the disease into all parts of the body. He died 26 July 1831, and such an impression had his life and abilities made on his neighbors that many years later a very old man told Arthur Charles Howland, Seneca\\\\\\\'s grandson, that \\\\\\\"Old Squire Howland was smarter than any of his descendants.\\\\\\\" Researcher: Roger Howland

HI: There is a W. E. Hinds mentioned below as co-author of a USDA bulletin on the boll weevil. Found at the HANDBOOK OF TEXAS ONLINE.

Walter David Hunter, entomologist, was born on December 14, 1875, in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was a pioneering expert on the boll weevil and pink bollwormqqv and an authority on medical and veterinary entomology, insect taxonomy, and biology and control of grasshoppers and other insects. He received B.A. (1895) and M.A. (1897) degrees from the University of Nebraska. After additional work at the University of Nebraska and Iowa State College he was employed in 1901 as a special field agent of the United States Department of Agriculture to conduct research on the boll weevil. Hunter came to Texas in 1901 and set out to learn as much as possible about the boll weevil. In 1902 a Department of Agriculture laboratory was established at Victoria, and Hunter was placed in charge. He staffed the laboratory with competent researchers. Results of the first two years of work were published as a USDA bulletin. This publication, written by Hunter and W. E. HINDS, is still considered to be the most important basic work on the life history and habits of the boll weevil. The boll weevil laboratory was moved to Dallas in 1905, and Hunter's work was broadened to cover other pests. He and his associates were responsible for many useful recommendations on crop and animal pests. After the laboratory was again moved in 1909, following the boll weevil eastward into Louisiana, Hunter became more involved in administrative work. He and his family moved to Washington, D.C., where they lived for several years while he worked for the agriculture department. In 1917 he was transferred back to Texas, where he was put in charge of attempts to eradicate the pink bollworm. This demanding work may have contributed to Hunter's sudden death. According to Charles N. Gould,qv a friend of Hunter from the University of Nebraska days, Hunter was "a soldier of science who gave his life in the line of duty." Hunter's scientific abilities were well recognized. During his relatively short life he authored or coauthored more than 100 publications on a broad array of insects and ticks. He was president of the American Association of Economic Entomologists in 1912 and of the Entomological Society of Washington in 1915. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by Tulane University for his contributions to agriculture. He married Mary P. Smith of Victoria in 1905, and they had one daughter. Hunter died while he was on a business trip in El Paso, on October 13, 1925. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Dallas Morning News, April 11, 1942. Charles N.

This hostile tribe made war on Apaches and white settlers alike, causing them to band together to fight their common enemy. Capt. James Hughes Callahanqv first visited the Blanco River area on his way to an Indian battle. He was apparently impressed with the land along the river and so returned in 1853 with his friend, ELI CLEMENS HINDS. Both men built homes on the Blanco River in 1854, thus becoming the first white settlers in what is now Blanco County. Later that year Joseph Bird established Birdtown, now known as Round Mountain, in the northern part of the county."

Franciscan missionaries established Mission Santa Cruz de San Sabá in 1757 to Christianize the eastern Apache Indians. The site, rediscovered in the fall of 1993 and proved by archeologists in January 1994, is on the San Saba River about three miles east of the present town of Menard and four miles from the ruins of San Luis de las Amarillas Presidio, which was built to protect the mission ). http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/cgi-bin/web_fetch_doc?dataset=tsha.dst&db=handbo ok&doc_id=3347&query=Hinds Discovery of the mission site, on property owned by Dionitia and Otis Lyckman, culminated a search begun in 1965 by Kathleen Gilmore and Dessamae Lorrain. The quest had been carried on since then by a variety of individuals and agencies. The find, more than a mile east of the 1936 historical monument that tentatively marked the site, ultimately resulted from genealogical research of Mark Wolf, a descendant of one of the soldiers assigned to the mission when it was destroyed. Wolf enlisted the aide of KAY HINDES, a historian, and Grant D. Hall, a Texas Tech University archeologist. Hall directed the 1993 archeological work at the site, which authenticated it with recovery of more than three hundred Spanish artifacts. These included musket balls, religious ornaments, majolica shards, and fired-clay daub, as well as nails, hinges, and other hardware. The site discovery was one of two episodes that renewed interest in the San Sabá Mission in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The other was controversy surrounding the painting, The Destruction of Mission San Sabá, which was confiscated by United States customs agents and returned to Mexico after having been offered for sale in Texas. The painting, done soon after the mission attack and evidently based on eyewitness accounts, is said to be "the earliest extant easel painting by a professional artist depicting an event in Texas history."

Charlotte is at the junction of State Highway 97 and Farm roads 140, 1548, and 1333, in southwestern Atascosa County. Coahuiltecan Indian groups once roamed the site. Charlotte was carved from the Old Tobey Ranch, which at the time of its founding was owned by Jourdan Campbell and T. H. Zanderson. In 1910 the townsite was laid out by J. F. Edwards in the form of a wagon wheel, the streets forming spokes. In 1911 J. E. Franklin, from Missouri, offered to construct a railroad through the county. Landowners donated land to help finance the project; GEORGE F. HINDES and M. M. Davis are reported to have given thousands of acres. The name Charlotte was given by Dr. Charles Simmons, who aided in the development of Atascosa County. Towns in the county were named for all three of his daughters, Charlotte, Imogene, and Christine. In the early days cotton was the principle crop around Charlotte. At one time farmers waited in line for twenty­four hours, their wagons loaded, to have their cotton ginned. But ranching is still the basic industry, and some ranchers have developed fine herds of registered cattle. Some have also established dairy farms. Oil was discovered in 1946; there are now more than 700 producing oil wells in the school district. The first store in Charlotte, built by J. M. Couser in 1910, was sold to W. M. Wilson. Other merchants were S. Fleischman, A. F. Hahn, A. K. McBride, John Neal, and Hugh Dixon, and the town had a drugstore, a hotel, a hardware store, and a blacksmith shop. Charlotte was incorporated on December 21, 1946. In 1963 the Charlotte Rotary Club sponsored the Charlotte Community Recreation Association, which organized a little league and a rodeo. The First Baptist Church was organized on January 21, 1914. Members set aside acreage of cotton to finance construction of their first building, which was replaced in 1951. The church supported a mission for the Spanish-speaking citizens of the community. The Methodist church was established in 1912, with twenty­three charter members. At first Charlotte was on a circuit with Fowlerton, Jourdanton, Poteet, and Christine. A parsonage was built in 1938, at which time the church became a station. The old building was replaced in 1950. St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church was established in 1909. It was served by Claretian Fathers from San Antonio. A new building was dedicated in honor of St. Mary on July 25, 1925. Improvements were made in 1944 and 1972. The first public school was conducted in 1913 by Mrs. Sauer, who held classes in a dance hall over a bakery. By 1914 a new building was constructed, and the school became an independent district by 1919. As enrollment increased the school started a four-year high school. In 1935 citizens voted bonds of $25,000 to construct a new school plant, and received a Public Works Administration grant of $23,000. The district added elementary and lunchroom buildings in 1948. A new gymnasium and an auditorium were built in 1950. In 1990 the population of Charlotte was 1,475.

The first county seat, Navatasco, was established in 1857 on land donated by Navarro. Among the county's early settlers were Peter Tumlinson,qv who organized one of the first Ranger companies in the state in 1836, Indian fighter Thomas Rodriguez, GEORGE F. HINDES, Marshall Burney, and Eli Johnson. In 1858 Pleasanton, a newly founded community, became county seat, and a new courthouse was constructed. Settlers continued to trickle in, but the threat of Indian attack, poor roads, and the area's general isolation kept the population low.

Walter Prescott Webb, historian and author, was born on a farm in Panola County, Texas, on April 3, 1888, the son of Casner P. and Mary Elizabeth (Kyle) Webb. His father was a schoolteacher and part time farmer. The Webb family had moved from Aberdeen, Mississippi, to Caledonia in Rusk County, Texas, then to Panola and westward past the 100th meridian to the Stephens-Eastland counties area. These moves from the woodlands to a new and arid environment made a distinct impression on the young boy, and the geographic dichotomy formed the basis for his later writing about the Great Plains. Webb found farm life on the family homestead in the Cross Timbersqv area near Ranger harsh and unappealing. In desperation he wrote a letter to the editor of a literary magazine, the Sunny South, asking how a farm boy could get an education and become a writer. WILLIAM E. HINDS, a toy manufacturer from New York, responded to the boy's query and encouraged him to "keep his sights on lofty goals." Webb finished at Ranger High School in Eastland County and earned a teaching certificate. He taught at various small Texas schools and, with the assistance of his benefactor, WILLIAM HINDS, eventually attended the University of Texas, where he received his bachelor of arts degree in 1915 at the age of twenty-seven. Webb interrupted his teaching career to work as a bookkeeper for Southwest Texas State Teachers College in San Marcos and to serve as an optometrist's assistant in San Antonio. He was teaching at Main High School in 1918, when he was invited to join the history faculty of the University of Texas. Webb wrote his master's thesis on the Texas Rangersqv in 1920 and was encouraged to pursue the Ph.D. His year of "educational outbreeding" (as he referred to it) at the University of Chicago was unsuccessful, and he returned to Texas determined to write history as he saw it. The result was the publication in 1931 of The Great Plains, acclaimed as "a new interpretation of the American West," acknowledged by the Social Science Research Council in 1939 as the outstanding contribution to American history since World War I,qv and winner of Columbia University's Loubat prize. On the basis of this book Webb received the Ph.D. from the University of Texas in 1932. In 1939, after a year as Harkness Lecturer at the University of London, Webb became director of the Texas State Historical Association.qv During his tenure (to 1946), he expanded the Southwestern Historical Quarterly and launched a project to compile an encyclopedia of Texas, published in 1952 as the Handbook of Texas. With the assistance of H. Bailey Carroll,qv he established a student branch of the association, the Junior Historians of Texas,qv in 1940 to encourage secondary school teachers and students to investigate local and regional history. Respected as a teacher both at home and abroad, Webb returned to Europe in 1942 as Harmsworth Professor of American History at Oxford. At the University of Texas he became famous for his books and seminars, especially those on the Great Plains and the Great Frontier, in which he developed two major historical concepts. He proposed in the Great Plains thesis that the westward settlement of the United States had been momentarily stalled at the ninety-eighth meridian, an institutional fault line separating the wooded environment to the east from the arid environment of the west. The pioneers were forced to pause in their westward trek while technological innovation in the form of the six-shooter, barbed wire,qv and the windmillqv allowed them to proceed. The Great Frontier thesis became the crux of a book of the same title, published in 1952, that Webb declared to be his most intellectual and thought-provoking. The Great Frontier proposed a "boom hypothesis": the new lands discovered by Columbus and other explorers in the late fifteenth century precipitated the rise of great wealth and new institutions such as democracy and capitalism. By 1900, however, the new lands disappeared, the frontier closed, and institutions were under stress, resulting in the ecological and economic problems that have plagued the twentieth century. Although not universally well-received at the time, the Second International Congress of Historians of the United States and Mexico examined the Great Frontier thesis as its sole topic during its 1958 meeting, and the concept was again an object of discussion at an international symposium in 1972. In all, Webb wrote or edited more than twenty books. In 1935 he published The Texas Rangers: A Century of Frontier Defense, the definitive study of this frontier law enforcement agency, but regarded by Webb as being filled with "deadening facts." Divided We Stand: The Crisis of a Frontierless Democracy (1937) analyzed the practices of modern corporations, which Webb contended promoted economic sectionalism to the disadvantage of the South. More Water for Texas: The Problem and the Plan (1954) reflected Webb's interest in the conservation of natural resources. A collection of his essays, An Honest Preface and Other Essays, appeared in 1959, and at the time of his death he was working on a television series on American civilization under a grant from the Ford Foundation. Webb was one of the charter members and later a fellow of the Texas Institute of Letters.qv He was also a member of the Philosophical Society of Texasqv and president of both the Mississippi Valley Historical Association (1954-55) and the American Historical Association (1958). He received honorary degrees from the University of Chicago, Southern Methodist University, and Oxford University in England. He held two Guggenheim fellowships, acted as special advisor to Senator Lyndon Baines Johnsonqv on water needs of the South and West, and received a $10,000 award from the American Council of Learned Societies for distinguished service to scholarship. The United States Bureau of Reclamation also gave him an award for distinguished service to conservation. Webb was married on September 16, 1916, to Jane Elizabeth Oliphant, who died on June 28, 1960. They had one daughter. On December 14, 1961, he married Terrell (Dobbs) Maverick, the widow of F. Maury Maverickqv of San Antonio. Webb was killed in an automobile accident near Austin on March 8, 1963, and was buried in the State Cemeteryqv by proclamation of Governor John B. Connally.qv A statue of Webb and his old friends J. Frank Dobie and Roy Bedichekqv stands in Zilker Park in Austin. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Joe B.

Hi: Another Hinds spotted at the HANDBOOK OF TEXAS ONLINE at: http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/index.html Regards, Nan [email protected] ============== http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/cgi-bin/web_fetch_doc?dataset=tsha.dst&db=handbo ok&doc_id=14549&query=Hinds GARRISON, TEXAS. Garrison is on U.S. Highway 59 eighteen miles northeast of Nacogdoches in northeastern Nacogdoches County. Around 1884 Capt. J. H. (Jim) Garrison bought 387 acres of land on the Attoyac River. The Houston, East and West Texas Railway had been built to Nacogdoches and was seeking a right­of­way to the Sabine River. On August 29, 1884, Garrison and William Craig conveyed 125 acres to the railroad, eleven acres of which were reserved for a depot site and right­of­way. The remaining acreage was to be surveyed, laid off in blocks, streets, and alleys, and offered for sale. The area around the depot site was named Garrison. The first business to open in the new town was J. H. Garrison's office, which furnished wood and ties for the railroad from Lufkin to the Louisiana state line. A. I. Simpson's sawmill, the Greenwood Hotel, a general store, and gins soon appeared. Early Garrison also had saloons, which were frowned upon by the local churches; members were dismissed for selling liquor. The first train came to Garrison at berry time in 1886. The event was celebrated by a free ride to Nacogdoches on railroad flatcars. The first school in Garrison, a log church­schoolhouse near Greenwood, burned in 1886. Classes were taught in private homes until the Mineral Springs Institute was built east of the railroad tracks in 1895. In 1911 a brick school was built on the site where later the elementary school was located. In 1916 this building was destroyed by fire. The town was incorporated on May 18, 1890. Garrison claims to be the oldest incorporated community in Nacogdoches County since the corporation of Nacogdoches was interrupted around 1900. By 1896 the town was known as a health resort and had a population of 500. By 1915 it had grown to 1,000 residents. Maud Irwin became the first woman mayor in Texas when she was elected mayor of Garrison in 1937. The Garrison News was established in 1938. Natural resources of mineral springs, coal, fireproof clay, and timber were important to the economy of early Garrison. Coal mining began in the area in 1896 and stopped in 1902. Fuel shortages at the end of World War Iqv caused a price increase, and the local mines were in use again until 1929, when competition with natural gas made them unprofitable. Clay was still important to Garrison in 1990. The early clay plant of M. L. HINDS was the beginning of what later became the Acme Brick plant, Garrison's largest employer during the 1980s. In 1990 Garrison had a population of 883. The tie and pulpwood businesses continued to be an important part of its economy. BIBLIOGRAPHY: B. J.

Hi: This interview with a Mrs HInds does not help much in the family research line but makes interesting reading and gives one an idea of how they traveled from place to place in those days. I believe this is part of the Draper Papers. I am copying it from another message. Evidently, a Hinds was her first husband. He is not mentioned. They came down the Ohio but don't mention from where. Regards, Nan [email protected] -------------------------- Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2000 17:45:20 -0400 From: Bob Francis Subject: MISC: John Shane Interview with Mrs. Hines, Bourbon Co Fellow researchers, Since a lot of folks got a kick out of the Robert Jones interview, I thought I'd send out a couple of more like it. This series comes from John B. Shane's interviews with some early Bourbon County pioneers. Enjoy! Bob ------------------ Source: The Filson Club History Quarterly, July 1930, Vol. 10, No. 3 Interview with Mrs. Hines of Bourbon County INTERVIEW WITH MRs. HINDS OF BOURBON COU14TY [Page 5.] No. 3. Mrs. Hinds. (A Mrs. James Mills [or Hill?] before.) Met with at Mr. Thomas L. Cunningham's, near Clintonville [met at home of her granddaughter's husband]. James Mills: My husband, James Mills (or Hill?) was out in 1781, under Clark, who had raised a company in the back parts of Virginia (Pennsylvania?). He was out also in Crawford's campaign. Was also in Harmer's and St. Clair's campaigns in the North West, after he moved out here. Coming Out: We came down the [Ohio] River the winter preceding Harmer's campaign (or the winter before that time, one year) (1788-9). We came down in a merchant's boat that tried to got down that winter. When we got to the Alleghany, we found it full of ice. Dunlap: The merchant was ________Dunlap, who had a store in Danville, and had been down before. Lemmons: There were also along two Lemmons, traveling merchants, one living here by Georgetown now. On our way down we passed an island. At the head of it my husband wanted to get into the canoe and go ashore. Mr. Dunlap wouldn't let him. About the middle of the island, we passed some Indians, or saw them (standing around a fire?). They did not attempt to interrupt us. We came up to Bourbon. Only staid there two weeks. We then went up to Lexington and spent the winter there. Perry's Station-Saundersville: We then removed two miles out to Perry's Station, now Saundersville. Perry died the week (or a week) before we went there. Colonel [Robert] Patterson & Co. starting to North Bend: The next summer after we came here, four men started from Lexington to go to the North Bend, to purchase land; Col. Patterson, Wm. Brown, and two brothers of the name of Ellison. Brown-the Ellisons: Brown had come the spring succeeding the the fall or winter of our coming. We would have come together but he couldn't get ready. Just beyond Georgetown Brown was killed and one of the Ellisons. Brown had a wife and four or five children. The oldest children were twins. One married a James Laughhead. Brown's brother: Brown had a brother that was out a year or two before, taken prisoner on the Ohio, and carried on to Detroit. From there he made his escape. Georgetown: Not far from Georgetown the Indians stole horses and, I think, either killed or got a negro. It was warm weather, the first night the men had camped out and hitched up their horses. They came into Lexington to get help to pursue the Indians; but before they [the help] got there, the Indians had ransacked all their houses, or plunder, and gone. Memorandum: [Appended is a memorandum of conversation with Thomas L. Cunningham relative to Mrs. Hinds, his wife's grandmother.] Thomas L. Cunningham, Mrs. Hinds' last husband, went off and left her without any reason whatever assigned: On this account she would far rather go by her first husband's name. She is the grandmother of my [Cunningham's] wife. McConnel Captured: McConnel was taken, I have understood, right in the fork where Town Fork and Wolf Creek come together; there by Isaac Cummingham, right where the mill dam now is. [This reference is to Alexander McConnel who in 1780 was captured by Indians near Lexington and shortly thereafter escaped by killing three of his captors.] Boon and Callaway Girls: The Boon and Callaway girls were recaptured [July, 1776] up a little creek that puts into Licking just above Parker's Ferry. [The capture of these three girls, their rescue and their marriage to three of the pursuers is a well known romance of the pioneer days.] Boon's youngest son: The youngest son of Daniel Boon [Nathan Boone, Born 1781, Died, 1856], from Missouri, passed through Clintonville last summer (1843). He stopped an hour. I [Cunniingham] didn't see him. Was said to have been a rough, slovenly, indifferent looking man.

The Texas search site mentioned in my last message does not have just TX Hinds. For instance the entry below mentions an E. Clovis Hinds in Memphis TN. Regards, Nan [email protected] ==================== Found by using the search site at: THE HANDBOOK OF TEXAS ONLINE http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/index.html RODRÍGUEZ, DIONICIO (1891?-1955). Dionicio Rodríguez, artist, son of Catarino Rodríguez, was born in Toluca, capital of the state of México, in 1891 or 1893. He perfected a secret process in which he carved chemically treated reinforced concrete so that it looked like wood................................................................. During the 1930s Rodríguez worked for Arkansas developer Justin Matthews, sculpting pieces for three parks in Little Rock. In his most innovative work for Matthews, Rodríguez worked with an architect to design a site to look like an abandoned mill, in which everything but the stone walls of the mill were molded from cement. In the early 1940s he completed a dozen works based on literary and Biblical themes for E. Clovis Hinds in the Memorial Park Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee. The most outstanding of these is a massive grotto, the inside of which is studded with crystals and decorated with ten sculpted and painted scenes from the life of Christ. Other examples of Rodríguez's work have been found in Chattanooga, Tennessee; Hot Springs, Arkansas; Suitland, Maryland; Ann Arbor, Michigan; New York City; and Clayton, New Mexico. His inclusion of such painstaking details as insect holes, peeling bark, and broken-off branches in his work, which he called el trabajo rústico, demonstrates a highly refined aesthetic as well as technical mastery of his medium

Hi: This is from THE GREAT MIGRATION BEGINS: IMMIGRANTS TO NEW ENGLAND 1620-1633 which consists of bios for men mainly. I saw mention of one of my surnames in another man's bio but could not pull him up with the search mechanism unless I left the names blank and put his name in as a keyword. Since I knew the Hinds did not arrive until after 1633 I put "Hinds" in as a keyword and found three entries. This is the first. Use your Find feature to find Elizabeth Hind Beck. Do any of you know her parents or siblings? Regards, Nan [email protected] - ------------------------------------------------ Search Terms: HINDS (3) Database: The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-33 ALEXANDER BECK ORIGIN: Unknown MIGRATION: 1632 FIRST RESIDENCE: Boston OCCUPATION: Laborer, husbandman. CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: "Alexander Becke a labourer" was admitted to Boston church 22 June 1634 [BChR 18]. FREEMAN: 3 September 1634 [MBCR 1:369]. EDUCATION: Signed his deed of 31 March 1668 but made his mark to his will six years earlier. OFFICES: For some years, from 1638 to 1646 at least, Alexander Beck was reimbursed by the colony for keeping various indigent persons, apparently not chargeable to any one town [MBCR 1:230, 312, 318; 2:139, 153, 160, 165; 3:68, 82]; he also performed this service for the town of Boston, as evidenced by reimbursement given to him on 25 March 1650 [BTR 1:100]. On 9 April 1649 chosen by Boston to keep the cows for the year at 2s. per head [BTR 1:95]. Appointed Boston fenceviewer 26 April 1652, 30 January 1653/4 and 30 March 1655 [BTR 1:110, 118, 123]. ESTATE: On 8 January 1637/8 granted eight acres at Muddy River [BTR 1:23]. On 22 February 1640/1 William Courser of Boston sold to Alexander Beck "his lot at Muddy River, it being 10 acres" [BTR 1:59]. On 31 March 1645 the Boston selectmen granted to Alexander Beck "the little marsh next Mr. Haughe's Point" for £3 10s. per acre, and on 29 September 1645 he paid £4 7s. for this marsh, "being about an acre and a quarter" [BTR 1:83, 85]. In the Boston Book of Possessions, compiled in 1644, Alexander Beck held three parcels: one house and garden; one acre in Newfield; and "a small parcel of land first granted for a houselot"; on 11 November 1651 he purchased from Thomas Woodward four and a quarter acres at Muddy River [BBOP 14]. On 31 March 1668 "Alexander Beck of Boston husbandman" made a deed of gift of a small parcel in Boston next to his house to "Manasses Beck my only son & Mary his now wife" [SLR 6:147]. On 23 February 1674/5 John Leverett of Boston granted to "Manassah Beck (the only child & executor of the last will and testament of the said Alexander Beck deceased)" "in consideration of exchange for other lands with the late Alexander Beck of Boston" one acre in Newfield and six acres of marsh at Muddy River [SLR 9:133]. In his will, dated 20 June 1662 and probated 27 October 1674, Alexander Beck bequeathed to "my beloved wife" (name not given) for life "my little house where John Glover now liveth with the yard before it & the one quarter of the garden" and one half his cattle and movable goods along with yearly maintenance, to son Manassa Beck "all the residue of my estate that is to say my other house in which I live with the other part of my said garden or orchard & the one half of my said pasture close & my land at Muddy River with the little house and barn there with all the upland & marsh there," and to Hannah Alcock £30, of which £20 to be paid by his son Manassa Beck and £10 by his wife; after his wife's death her share to go to son Manassa Beck who is to be executor, and Elder James Penn and Deacon Richard Truesdale are to be overseers [SPR 6:61]. The inventory of the estate of Alexander Beck was taken 26 October 1674 by William Salter, Jacob Eliot and Theophilus Frary, and totalled £348 5s., of which £320 was real estate: "Dwelling house with old housing and the land adjoining," £200; "a piece of pasture land lying in the Newfield in Boston," £40; and "at Muddy River: 26 acres of upland & 8 acres of marsh," £80 [SPR 5:210]. BIRTH: By about 1613 based on date of freemanship. DEATH: Boston after 31 March 1668 (sale of land to son) and before 26 October 1674 (date of inventory), and probably closer to the latter date. MARRIAGE: 1 April 1633: "It is ordered, that Joyce Bradwicke shall give unto Alex: Becke the sum of 20s., for promising him marriage without her friends consent, & now refusing to perform the same" [MBCR 1:104]. [See JOYCE BRADWICK.] He m. (1) by 1639 Mary _____, who died Boston 2 May 1639 [BVR 7]. He m. (2) by 1640 ELIZABETH HINDS; on 27 November 1642 the Boston church admitted "Elizabeth the wife of our brother Alexander Beck sometime called Elizabeth Hinde upon letters of dismission from the church at Roxbury" [BChR 37]. CHILDREN (all born and baptized Boston): With second wife i EPHRAIM (twin), b. 1 June 1640 [BVR 9]; bp. 7 June 1640 [BChR 285]; no further record. ii DELIVERANCE (dau., twin), b. 1 June 1640 [BVR 9]; bp. 7 June 1640 [BChR 285]; no further record. iii STRANGE, b. 1 June 1640 (sic) [BVR 9]; bp. 5 June 1642 "about 5 days old" [BChR 289]; no further record. iv MANASSEH, b. 8 October 1645 [BVR 21]; bp. 12 October 1645 "about 5 days old" [BChR 300]; m. by 31 March 1668 Mary _____ [SLR 6:147; BVR 107]. The will of Alexander Beck and the deeds involving Manasseh Beck make it clear that none of the other children had surviving issue, and there is no hint that any of them even lived to adulthood. COMMENTS: The year of birth for son Strange Beck given in the Boston vital records should be 1642 and not 1640; as Savage notes with regard to the record of three children born on 1 June 1640, "the unworthy copy of town record of births has the monstrous assertion of these three, as born at once." Since the mother of Ephraim is given in town records as Elizabeth, Ephraim and Deliverance must be twins, although this is not stated in the baptismal record. Alexander Beck may have dabbled in trade to the West Indies, for on 4 January 1647/8 he "assigned unto Thomas Harlowe a bill of John Manniford's of two hundred weight of tobacco or the value thereof in Barbados ..." [Aspinwall 120].
