Can anyone tell me if there were any Tillman folks in Swan Township, maybe even in Dickens, in about 1875 or so? I think that may be how my gg-grandmother and her sons got to Taney Co. & how she met Robert Payne Austin. There was most likely family there already. She had Caudle kin in the area already too.

Sent this once but for some reason it didn't come back to me, so I am sending again. To All that has responded and all that are researching, Thanks and I found this obit. When I read it, I copied it. But wasn't sure how Dock fit into the Lieuallen plan. So I like to ask questions first and get it clear with myself before I spring it on the rest of you all.  But now I got it. Thanks again to all. Bertha Isgrig of Bourbon passed away on Monday, June 5, 2000 at the age of90 years.Mrs. Isgrig was born on February 26, 1910 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma to thelate Dock and Elsie (McGowan) Lieuallen. At a young age, Bertha and herfamily moved to Hollister, Mo. where she was raised. On November 15, 1941she was married to Glen Isgrig in Harrison, Arkansas, and to this union oneson was born. The newlyweds then moved to Bourbon, Mo. where Bertha haslived the remaining years of her life. Her primary vocation has been thatof a devoted wife, loving mother, and homemaker. She especially enjoyedtaking care of her home, and also found fulfillment as a very active memberof the Sullivan Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses for over forty years.Those who knew her best describe Bertha as a quiet, gentle woman whotreated others with much kindness and consideration.She is survived by one son, Stanley Isgrig, and his fiancee, Debra Parnell,of Bourbon; four sisters, Virginia Petett of Kansas City, Mo., ClediaMattox of Sullivan, Vera Ramsey of Batesville, Mississippi, and LouiseAnderson of Ozark, Mo.; five step-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews,other relatives, and friends.

Interment was in Bourbon Cemetery. If desired, donations maybe made to the Sullivan Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in memory ofMrs. Bertha Isgrig. Warmest Smiles, Pama

Bobby, I am looking for the HATEFIELD's of Taney County. I am not blood relation but my Grandfather Eslie Alexander BROWN Married Mary Emma (McCall) HATFIELD. Her first husband was Edward M. HATFIELD. They were married in either Dallas, MO or Dallas County, MO in 1885. Mary and Edward had two children Maudie E. (named After her mother Mary Emma) and Neut. They are listed in the 1900 Taney count census under BROWN. There is another HATFIELD listed in 1900 Joshua HATFIELD. Neut is listed twice 1st through Brown and them as HATFIELD under the household of Mart McCALL. After 1900 I lose track of them I don't know were they went. I have been trying to find out some information about them to hopefully find out more information about my Grandfather E. A. BROWN. I don't have a whole lot more of information but I would love to hear what you might have on this family. Marge Brown

Oh, and I fergot to mention... You'll find Lewallen spelt various ways, such as Lieuallen and Llwellen (with a "y", maybe?) The latter with the double "l"s I believe would have Welsh origins. Whether Welsh origins are a source with our bunch, I rather doubt. And Beth, I don't know much about them in the 1900s.

Welp. (That's hillbilly for "Well!", when you gotta pause to think afore you say somethin'. The thinkin' part's the hard part.) In a huge way, I wish more of you lived closer to home. I know you'd be just as excited as us homefolks are about this year. "Outlaw Roundup" is coming along well, I think, in my totally unprofessional opinion. Having never done this kind of thing before, when it comes to donations, etc., I ask for the moon and stars, and seldom get disappointed when I get a chunk of the moon in return. Sometimes I get more than that. First of all, the Bald Knobber Re-enactment. The script, while Ingrid, Rick, and I have never written one from scratch before, is roughly 2/3 done. We only have a card game and a couple-3 more killings to go. The tentative title is "The League: Taney County Justice". I think we ought to be hired to do the screenplay for the movie... there's funny stuff, hugely emotional stuff, dramatic stuff, all the makings for a real story that is as accurate as we can make it, given our limitations on time, space, and funds. Ingrid and Rick both have theater backgrounds (I'm too inhibited to be an actor), and all of us have done some writing. We have approached the local PBS station and notified some of the powers-that-be involved with the Ozarks Studies Institute in Springfield; we're hoping that maybe someone will come film the re-enactment. We've started filming ourselves (is that facetious or what?) while writing, in case we have to do our own documentary LOL. But we're gonna be too busy on 19 May to film the re-enactment. We are looking to schedule musicians and story tellers to do their thing in the morning, from 9 - 1. The play will start about 1:30, then I'm still hopping up and down on one foot, trying to get "Big Smith" in to do a benefit concert, and "kick it in" as soon as the play's over. They do a number of benefits every year. For those of you interested, go to: http://www.bigsmithband.com/ and check out their music. These are Bilyeu and Williamson cousins, with Rik Thomas (another cousin), and a really hot band in the area right now. A bunch of us are going to see them Saturday night in Springfield. We have an inside track in that Greg's uncle went to school with the Bilyeu's mother and Rik's dad in Spokane--I hope. Rik said they are not booked on that date, but whether they'll make us one of their benefits is another story. Y'all say your prayers, for we're spending a lot on this benefit for the jail restoration, and I'd rather not have to pay a chunk of that for the band as well. Since admission is free to the whole event--another rule we're breaking--let's hope! We are going to do hayrides, kids' activities e.g. gravestone rubbing, and the cabin down in Shadow Rock Park will be cleaned and opened to the public. If you want to help with this, let me know... And this is just the beginning...Ingrid's mom, Jo Stacey Albers, told me last night not to talk about "White River Valley Homecoming" to be held the last weekend in October this year, anymore--she's looking forward to it too much, she can't wait! LOL That's gonna be the big shindig, with a pig roast, "survival" crafts, and a lot more. But I gotta do "Outlaw Roundup" first...that's my "baptism by fire", so to speak. Meeting will still be 30 Jan at Una's Cafe at 6 pm for all who can make it!

Okay, from what I have discovered... The Lewallens were either Creek or Cherokee (depending on who you talk to) who moved to Taney County shortly about 1843, from AR. Prior to that, the family had been on the Trail of Tears, and left it in AR. Hannah was the mother of our bunch, b ca 1814 TN d ca 1861 Christian Co. MO. She took up "homesteading" on Bull Creek, near where F Hwy crosses it today. I've been given to understand that she didn't die at home, but the story goes that Hosea Bilyeu and Ike Lewis were digging a grave for "Old Lady Lewallen" at Meadows Cemetery and were almost captured by bushwhackers (they traded shots). Hosea was the s/o Jacob Bilyeu b 1803 d 1852 and Catherine Elizabeth Williams b 1803 d 1852, who was raised by John Witten and Sarah Frances Harp Bilyeu. As for Hannah's husband, there are some theories, but I'm not saying "fer or agin". One is that Hannah's maiden name was Motley, and her husband was John Robert Babil Lewallen. Another is that her husband was a Matthew John Lewallen. We'll probably never know for sure. The family moved from lower Bull Creek after the start of the Civil War. Being in close proximity to the Springfield-Harrison Road, there was considerable problem with bushwhackers, etc. I would imagine they holed up for a time near the Bilyeus, but after Hannah's death, John Mitchell's book "Tales from Bull Creek Country" states that several went on up to Laclede County and Dade County. The children I have for Hannah are C (a girl) b ca 1833 TN d possibly in Taney Co., shortly after moving from AR Mary Jane b ca 1835 TN d 1861 md Wiett Bilyeu Keziah b Apr 1836 TN d ca 1921 Christian Co. MO md James Oliver Matthew John (cited in an earlier post) Jessee V. b ca 1841 AR d aft 1882 md Louisa Hammond Sarah M. b ca 1842-44 AR nothing else known George b ca 1843-1845 d 17 May 1912 Dade Co. MO md Lucinda Glass James Ross b ca 1845-47 Taney Co. MO d during the Civil War. A Lewallen son was killed by bushwhackers taking supplies to the Union Army. It is believed that James was the one, for he hasn't been found after the 1860 census. Robert R. b ca 1847-53 Taney Co. MO md Sarah Angeline Davis. This family is the one that started Lewallen Cemetery out between present-day Fall Creek Road and Hwy 165. Angie was a niece of Sarah Frances Harp Bilyeu, and like her cousin Hosea (pernounced "Hosie" in this neck o' the woods) was raised by Old Man Witt and her aunt. Elizabeth D. b Mar 1848. She died in 1900, in Ozark. She married Stephen Bilyeu, the s/o Old Man Witt (again, this is John Witten) Bilyeu and Sarah. She is the one who attacked Bud Meadows with a huge carving knife when he was engaged in a shootout with her husband and 3 sons in 1898. This feud, known as the Bilyeu-Meadows Feud, is still a sore point with descendants today, and many of the intermarried, close-cousin Meadows and Bilyeu families don't speak to each other--I'm not kidding. I just discussed it with a Bilyeu cousin last night. Bud Meadows' wife was Salina Elizabeth, d/o of the aforementioned Hosea Bilyeu and his wife, Charlotte Angeline Cecil (another of Sarah Harp's nieces. If you ain't confused, you're kin). As fer me bein' out politickin' n' campaignin', more on that in a bit.

Okay, Don and Pama, I give up and bow before you in supplication. Greg bought me FTM vers 8 for my b-day, and I've been trying real hard not to open up my database so I won't feel guilty for not getting the new version loaded. Dock is the son of Matthew John Lewallen and Martha Bilyeu. Matt being the son of Hannah Lewallen, and Martha the d/o John "Witt" Bilyeu and Sarah Frances Harp. Mat b 1839-1840 TN, Martha b Sep 1844-1850. Other children of "Matt and Matt" (m abt 1864) are (all b in Taney, I think): John R. b ca 1864 md Mary Brawner George W. b ca 1865 md Bedia Z. Williams Jesse B. b 9 Aug 1870 md Flora B. Friend James b ca 1873 md a Sarah E. Thomas b 1 May 1874 md Ollie Manship Wyate (sp?) b ca 1879 (I believe he died young) Sarah b ca 1879 md Jasper Compton Dock WIlliam b 26 Jul 1884 md Rebecca J.

I larn summat noo ever'day. ROFLOL I have jest bin correk-tid on me 'n Pama's dialectin'. Gotta 'mit, thuh person wuz right, and when a person duz sech a fine job o' "sanging" as Pama did las' week, it jest don' soun' right when you say "sing." But I got the funniest story about that. A few years ago, Victoria was reading "Hop On Pop" by Dr. Seuss aloud to Greg and me. She got to the part that reads "Thing" and "Sing", only...she said "thang" and "sing." Then-- "Hey, those don't rhyme!" in huge protest. Didn't matter that she'd just read them, and they were spelled similarly. When Greg and I got done wiping the tears outta our eyes, we then 'splained that hillbillies don't necessarily per-nounce things the way they're spelt. Last night, this same darlin' daughter corrected me fer sayin' "Ain't". Thang is, I never sed it 'till I moved back to the Ozarks frum a few years in Kansas City. It is one of the hardest thangs in thuh world to misspell bad enough to sound right and misspell good enough for you to understand what I'm a-sayin'.
