I thought you just might enjoy this story which was published in 1900, written by Joe Wilton in the book "Early Settlers and Indian Fighters of the Southwest Texas" by Andrew Jackson Sowell. Part 1: MRS. C. A. WITT. Came to Texas in 1852. Among the first settlers on the Guadalupe River above the present town of Comfort was Mrs. C. A. Witt, wife of Rev. J. M. Witt, Baptist minister. Mrs. Witt was the daughter of Thomas Denton, and was born in Kentucky in 1849. She was also a granddaughter of Daniel Boone, of Kentucky pioneer fame. Her father was a soldier in the war of 1812, and died at Merry Oaks, Barren County, Kentucky. Her grandfather, David Denton, was a soldier under Washington, and passed through many of the stirring incidents of the Revolutionary war. When he died the following sketch of his career as a soldier was published: “Departed this life at the Merry Oaks, at his residence in Barren County, Kentucky, on the 18th day of May, 1838, David Denton, Sr., aged 84 years. He served his country as a private soldier five years and eight months during the Revolutionary war. He was one of the heroic little band that crossed the Delaware in December, 1776, with Washington, and was in the battle of Trenton. He was again with his beloved commander in the battles of Princeton, Brandywine, and Germantown. He was with Wayne at the storming of Stony Point, and was one of the advance guard and with the first that entered the fort. He was at the siege of Yorktown and capture of Cornwallis and his army, and shortly after peace was made immigrated to the West and took part in most of the Indian wars that attended the first settlement of Kentucky, and in a close fight with an Indian was wounded with a tomahawk, that rendered him an invalid for life. He lived and died an honest man, beloved by all who knew him professing an unshaken confidence in his Redeemer, and died in hope of a blessed immortality. He was buried with the honors of war." The above glowing tribute to the memory of an honest man. a faithful soldier, and model Christian gentleman, is nicely framed and hangs in a conspicuous place in the home of Mrs. Witt. There is nothing to show who is or was the publisher. It is in large, plain print, and has been well kept during all of these years by members of the Denton family. At the top of the frame just above the head lines of the memorial are the letters I. H. S., but Mrs. Witt does not know their significance. She says her grandfather went with Daniel Boone to Kentucky and was in the terrible battle with Indians at Boone's fort, and it was there he received the wound from the tomahawk. Her grandmother, Mrs. Denton, was present at this fight, and molded bullets for Boone's men. For two years she could not go to the spring or to milk cows with safety unless Grandpa Denton was along with his gun for her protection. Mrs. Witt does not mean that her grandfather came with Boone to Kentucky his first trip when he discovered and explored the country, but with immigrants he brought to settle the country after the War of the Revolution was over. Mrs. Witt came to Texas with her mother in 1852, in the spring, and in the fall of the same year settled at the mouth of Cherry Creek, where it empties into the Guadalupe River, four miles below the present town of Center Point. They were the outside settlers, and their nearest neighbors below were Schleador and Weadenfield, two Germans who lived about where Comfort now is. The first two years of their frontier life were spent in quiet, no Indians coming to molest them, as they had no stock and nothing to induce them to make a raid in this isolated place. Her mother had five children­two boys (Joseph and David) and three girls. The oldest boy was 12 years of age. One of her uncles. E. A. McFadin, came to Texas and settled and lived with them. Mrs. Denton also had two negro men, so if the Indians came they calculated to make a good fight with them. Mr. McFadin in after years commanded a ranging company, and Mrs. Denton's boys served as rangers when they grew up and in the Confederate army when the Civil war broke out. Joseph was the older and David the younger. The latter was killed by Mexicans on the Rio Grande. After the country began to settle up and stock to be brought in the Indians began to depredate upon them. On one occasion they ran the children from the cowpen. David had gone across the creek after the cows, and seeing a steer running, kept a close lookout and soon saw the Indians, and at once ran back and told the girls at the cowpen to run, and they all escaped to the house. The men then armed themselves and went to fight the Indians. They got out of the way, but returned in the night and stole a quarter of beef out of the yard. The beef had been cut up and spread out on a scaffold. Some of the Indians decoyed the dogs off while others went into the yard and got the beef. In doing this they passed within fifteen steps of where De Witt Burney and Captain McFadin were lying asleep in a wagon. They dropped some of the beef in the yard as they were carrying it out. The Indians often came at night and roamed through the field, eating watermelons and roasting ears. They would also pull up potato vines, hunting sweet potatoes, until hardly any vines were left in the patch. In 1859 the Indians came close to the house in order to get a gentle horse to drive off a bunch on. Captain McFadin and a negro man went to save the horse, and the negro saw something he thought was an Indian and fired at it with a load of buckshot and crippled him. The horses were now carried close to the house and guarded until daylight. As soon as it was light enough to see objects distinctly they repaired to the spot where the negro had fired at the Indian, and there found his shield and other things and plenty of blood. That day two boys coming from Bandera saw nine Indians. One of them was considerably in the rear with a blanket around him, and traveling very slowly, and was evidently the one wounded by Mrs. Denton's negro man. To be continued next week.

I've finished another book that hopefully might be of help to Turner researchers. Here is the information: Descendants of William Turner of Monroe Co KY. From the records of Moena Sadler, late Monroe Co. researcher, this book contains the descendants of William and Frances Turner of Virginia from 1788 into the 1980's in Monroe Co KY and elsewhere. Prepared from her computer records, she traces descendants many up to the 9th generation giving spouses, marriage dates, parents of spouses, birth and death dates, etc. on the majority of the dependents. Other surnames include Isenberg, Gentry, Ford, Lee, Pare and hundreds of others. 60 pages including full-name index. As usual, if you'd like a copy of the index, write me privately!!

I don't have anything truly prepared for today. I have just returned from several days in northern OH visiting my oldest daughter. Not being a cold weather person, I was greeted by maybe 6 inches of snow and temperatures in the teens. Returning home late last night to 60 degrees and tornado watches ... quite a change and I fear I'm coming down with a cold out of it. On the 6 hour drive up and back, my friends and I (my minister and his wife) were talking genealogy, family events and why things were done the way they were. The subject of infant baptism came up. Now, my church does not baptize infants, but many do. For those churches, the researcher might hunt and hunt for some sort of a baptismal record and throw up their hands in despair when nothing can be found in church minutes where they are usually shown. Why? Weren't they baptized after all? Well - maybe yes, maybe no. I know this first hand. Sometimes if a child is near death or quite ill and has not been baptized, a family member could baptize the baby if the minister/priest could not reach them in time. This was considered "legal" and no record might exist. Delving into a personal experience with this. One of my daughters was in a major children's hospital which was operated by the Catholic church. They insisted that she be baptized in case she didn't survive. Of course, this was contrary to my beliefs but I was daily begged to have her baptized. So, I telephoned our minister as to what I should do. He had me take the top off the baby bottle and pour a little of the formula on my finger and make the sign of the cross on her forehead saying "In the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost, I baptize thee ..." The priest and precious sisters at the hospital were pleased and it was entered only in their hospital records. Thankfully, she made it of course! There have been quite a few times when a priest or minister wasn't present and a family member or friend baptized a child - or an adult who had never been baptized. So, even if you never find a record of a "formal baptism" in a church setting, they could have been baptized.

Many of you on these lists have had me refer to our fellow lister, Charlie Hartley - he, for one thing, maintained my Puzzler articles on line and is the genius behind keeping my website up-to-date (too old to learn html!) Charlie has written a most interesting book which will be described below. I have had the privilege of reading this book and I told him that some of you might be interested in it. I don't receive any money for plugging his book but wanted you to know about it. Here is the write-up: Shots rang out at Huber's Station, a railroad depot just south of Louisville, Kentucky on August 11, 1904. Less than a day later, Francis Hagan lay dead as his grieving widow arrived from their Alabama home, too late to bid him farewell. Meanwhile his killer, John Barbour, sat in jail pondering his future. This true story is featured in Charles Hartley's latest book, Murder or Not? The Hagan-Barbour Feud. It is filled with charges of deception, fraud, and attempted assassinations, and is based on original court records and depositions, and on newspaper accounts of the time. In the end, the reader is challenged to decide if justice was truly served. For more details on the book, and how to obtain it, visit the web page at <http://bullittcountyhistory.org/announce2.html>http://bullittcountyhistory.org/announce2.html If you have any questions, you can write Charlie at: [email protected] - it's a great read!

As you know, I try to provide the indexes of many of my books. However, on my older books, I no longer have the indexes as a separate file. I just re-typed the Glasgow Weekly Times 1873-1986. This material was pre-typed by someone at the library here back in the 90's and given to me to sell by the librarian. I have been unhappy with it for years as it had a lot of typographical errors and the dates were in no order for easy reading. So, I have re-typed the entire book and put it in chronological order. There are a few papers from 1873, the majority are in the 1870-1890's, a period of time when there is no census. The articles include births, deaths, murders, weddings and cover Barren, Monroe, Metcalfe, Hart, Warren and Cumberland Counties with a smidgen from Green Co. There are a lot of details in these articles. Glowing tributes and detailed information and names in the obituaries; description of weddings and attendants, etc. If you would like to see the index to this revised book (which had been shown as 1874-1896), send me an e-mail privately and I'll send it to you.

And yes - normally the sons got land, the daughters could have received previously as part of their dowery .. but gals did get land too - or their new husbands did. Land given to a son-in-law normally became his total property as for many years, married women had no rights to own land in their own name. One will see in some wills when a daughter does receive land or goods, it might be added "not to be under the control of her husband" or "separate and apart from her husband." This wasn't because papa didn't like his S-I-L but to protect his daughter's rights.

Until I figure out what I want to post next on these two lists, I thought I would mention a question I had in the past regarding wills. I was reminded of this by a tip from Michael John Neill, an excellent researcher based in IL. It dealt with a question that early in my research I had wondered about. Why, in some wills (and I've seen it hundreds of times), did the deceased leave a token $1.00 to one or more of his heirs? Was the deceased poor and that's all he had? Was the deceased on the outs with that heir (normally a child) and this was his way of rebuking him/her? or Had the deceased already made provision for this person earlier? All three could be possible of course. We normally think of the first or second reason above, but that probably wasn't the case in most instances. If one would check the deed books and other sources, you might find that as a daughter or son married, the father would give them a portion of his land to help get them started. He might have helped pay the child's debts, given him or her a horse or wagon. Some preferred to "clear out" many of their assets in advance rather than to include it in their final will. However, in the will, he/she wanted to remember that child (normally an adult) too, so they would give them a token $1.00. Sometimes the father forgave debts; notes held against their child in lieu of a gift to them in their will. Sometimes the parent also expressly noted that the heir would receive this or that IF he or she remained there on the family farm and took care of the elderly parents until their death. So don't always assume that Sally or Johnnie was not just as loved; check and see if they had been given land or something of value previously.

My prayers are with Linda and the family in the loss of their husband and father. Mina Bickerstaff ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- From: Sandi Gorin <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: [SCKY] PASSING OF DONALD EDWIN HENDLEY Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:51:48 -0600 I wanted to let you know of the death of Donald Edwin Hendley of Glasgow, husband of one of our listers, Linda, who has been a friend from even before they settled in Glasgow. I want to extend my heartfelt condolences; Linda has done much behind the scene to provide photographs for Ray Green's website of cemetery photos and much more. Donald was 76 and died Tuesday, 10 Jan at home. He was a native of Plainfield IN; son of the late Berlin Holmes Hendley and Lettie Delmas Claspell Hendley, both of whom were Barren and Monroe Co natives. He was a tool and die engineer, having worked at Staken in Orange, VA and was a US Navy veteran of the Korean Conflict, serving aboard the USS Oriskany. He is survived by his wife Linda; a son, Randy; a daughter, Marci; five grandchildren, five sisters - Edith, Ruth, Priscilla, Patty and Sarah; and four great-nieces and great-nephews. He was preceded in death also by five brothers and two sisters. The family chose cremation and a private burial will be at the Hendley Cemetery at Fountain Run at a later date. Hatcher and Saddler Funeral Home in Glasgow was in charge of arrangements. Again, our deepest sympathy to you Linda, you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
