Isabella "Libby" Shaw is the lost forgotten child, as the mother apparently had one every two years. The family went down to Chester/Chesterfield South Carolina, on to Georgia, and life was hard and so, they went back to Kentucky and stayed, while, the Richard Hoopers went on straight to Texas, probably through North Carolina/Tennessee, crossing the River south of Memphis, on through Arkansas up the river to Ft. Smith/Fayetteville, and Richard B or E Hooper, a military man, the richest man in Texas, c. 1835 started the dynasty. Life is still hard in Texas, and it's best to forget all of us etc. I hold no grudge or hatred, but I know that the Hooper Family like everyone in Texas in 1863 went to county seats to get their names on the List of Indigents and there are ten bound volumes of the Confederate soldiers, 2 inches thick each, just the name and list of company!! Julia Fulgham Engledow, b. 1829 in! Hardeman County, Tennessee, "on the trail, no doubt", daughter of Arthur and Alice McKinnie Fulgham married Oscar Engledow, b. 13 Nov. 1809 in Wythe Co. VA and died l Feb. 1868, married first to no doubt Miss Julia Ann Jewell (the secondth from Ohio) 16 April, 1838 and then to Miss Julia F. Engledow. Their child, Euphemia married the lawyer, eldest son of Judge Royall Tyler Wheeler, Walker Wythe Wheeler who went later on up to Oklahoma. Oscar and Creed Engledow were the sons of John and Elizabeth Simpson Engledow. They say, Julia Fulgham Engledow is buried in the Oak Grove Cemetery a common name in Texas and so, we don't know if this is in Nacogdoches, Huntsville or Jefferson, Texas. Check out Miss Julia Ann Jewell of Wayne County, OH, the first and allied and/or related families of Judge R. T. Wheeler. Both friends, General Sam Houston and Judge RT Wheeler committed suicide in 1964 in Texas from the ravage of the Civil War. General Sam Houston went to the Union Soldi! ers to the horror of everyone to pay them a visit everyday, and caught pneumonia from his broken heart and depression. Found some family still down in Galveston.
