Am searching for an obit or news story on (Robert) R.E.L. Robinson/Robeson, son of John and Ellen Self Robeson. He was a reporter for the San Francisco Examiner and while on an expedition in the area of the Tiburon Islands south of California, he was murdered by the natives on May 26, 1894. A report from an AZ newspaper said it was reported widely and since his parents were still in Cooke County was wondering if there might be any old newspapers that would have the account of his death and possibly an obit. He was a brother to Sallie/Lizzie Robeson, g.grandmother. She was married to William Moses Hunter at the time of her brother's death. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a letter to Nannie Calvert from Rev. Wm. henry White dated 1932, mentioning their families and a couple of cousins like Barnetts and Blacks: Prattville, Alabama Oct. 8th, 1932 Miss Nannie Calvert 1115 Denfver St.. Plainview, Texas My Dear sister, Yours of the 3rd Inst. received, and I was glad to hear from you, and through you other members of the family. You mentioned as if busuness was dull there. It is the same here, but things are looking up slowly. If we sit steady in the boat, trust in the Divine power, and do our part all will turn out well. Our son Will S. (William Stenhouse White) and Ruth (daughter Ruth Kirby White) are teaching away from home, Annie teaches here. Mrs. Maude J. Rodgers, our married daughter, lives in Dallas Co.. My wife, Agnes, and Annie, --we four live here at home. The others visit us frequently. all of us are in good health. We two older ones doing well for our ages, thanks to a Higher Power. I was interested in the letter of Mrs. Sallie Gentry that you sent me as to aiding Mr. night in tracing up relatives. I will be glad to be able to give what information I have, below: The "Sister Jane" asked about was my own mother . She married first John Warren White on April 20th, 1853, by REv. M. Cager Barnett (cousin of the Whites). My mother's maiden name was Isabella Jane McDowell (A sister of my grandmother McDowell married a Mr. Black [ and his mother's sisters married Blacks and Wyatts,e tc.]). My mother's 2nd marriage was to James Henry Calvert on Nov. 11th, 1866, the same minister officiating, Rev. M.C.Barnett. My father died in Danville, Va. in Oct. 1864, from the 3rd wound he recieved in the Confederate service. He was 1st Lieutenant in Capt. John Blasingame's company from Spartanburg Co.(see note below) . Mother died in our home in Cooke Co., Texas on April 13, 1874, in blessed peace, I believe, at 43 years, 9 months, and 8 days of age. She had six children by my father, and four by my stepfather, James H. Calvert. I am the only one living of my mother's first children. Dear Mary Ella, Leola Alllice, and John Lawrence died in the tender years of childhood. Sister Sallie Anna (Mrs. Wm. Chandler) died in Cook Co., Tex. Oct. 7th, 1876. Her husband was a farmer, raised cattle and hogs mainly for the St. Louis market. Brother Edward Walker White died in teh Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan June 6th 1907, whither he had gone for treatment. He was 46 yrs., 4 months, and 20 days of age at death. His wife was with him to the last. He was buried at Amarillo, Texas, their home town. He was a wholesale and retail Gen.Merchant--"White & Kirk" the firm name. Three brothers of his wife ae in the firm. His wife was Miss Leota Kirk. They married in 1890. Edward was very successful in business, Alderman of the city, started a city park, etc.. I am glad to state that he was just as successful as a christian church worker. At 21 years of age he was made an Elder in the Presbyterian church, Amarillo, taught the men's Strangers Bible Class. The 1st Church put in a memorial window to his memory. There is an urn in the Park to his memory. I have received a letter every few months from his widow. She is a partner in the firm with her brothers.. Theyhave three children, Fay; Mrs. Harry L. Kearns, brokerage business, Johnnie; Mrs. Eislic, mercantile business, and Edward Dean White, Asst. manager of the business. I was next to the oldest of the children--was 75 the 20th of last Aug., am in good health for my age, but unable to do ministorial work regularly. After graduating in the Columbia Theological Seminary in May of 1886, I served churches in Greenville, Ala., Cuba, Ala., and near Marbury, Ala., and other churches near those above untill about five years ago when my healt was such that I gave up regular work, and now I am on the Honorably Retired roll. In Oct. 16th, 1889 I married Miss Carolina Hamilton Stenhouse of Columbia, S.C.,, Dr. Sam. M. Smith, Pastor of the 1st Church, Columbia, S.C., and Dr. Giradeau, one of my Seminary teachers performing the ceremony. Our children I have given in the first part of the letter. I am thankfull to say that all of them are members of the church and endeavoring to live according to the Christian profession. Edward Cheek White, our soldier son was Honorably Discharged from the Army after the World War. But he has permanantly lost his health, and is now in the U.S. Veterans Bureau Hospital. As his Guardian I secured a Compensation for him from the Government nine years ago. Mrs. Gentry asks how old is Jan is. I suppose she means your sister who was Mary Jane Jones Calvert. From the record sent me on the old yellow leaf of mother's old family bible I fiind that she was born, Dec. 29th, 1867 (ini Spartanburg Co., S.C.). I think I have answered your questions--I hope satisfactorily. Excuse any personal references. I am pleased to aid you in the matter. It is interesting and helpful to keep upp family history--the kinfolks. Cousin Francis F. Black, who was Editor on the Dallas, Texas news, and myself tried to trace the history ofthe Whites, Blacks, and McDowells. I did this so that our daughters could join the D.A.R. and the U.D.C.. I made the connection and proof in a satisfactory way for the organizations. I remember distinctly spending a pleasant night in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar (I believe) Gentry 25 or 30 years ago, in Spartanburg. I remember that Mrs. Gentry was a sister of my Step-Father, James H. Calvert. Am I right? I call to mind visiting when a boy her father's home near Walnut Grove--Mr. Ephraim Calvert. Mr. Jas. H. Caovert was a good step father. I would mention that Ex. Sherriff Jim White, and Ed. Z. White of Spartanburg are cousins of mine, and I don't know know how many other cousins there are, I have been away so long. I would like to visit my dear old native state--S.C., and Texas too, again, but I will be unable now to do so. If we are members of that heavenly family, and I trust we are, with Jesus as our Elder Brother, and God our father, it will be best of all. Then we by faith and service, are on the way to "That upper and better country", and to "That city which hath (eternal) foundations whose builder and maker is God." I am sending you three copies of this, keeping one. May the Lord bless and keep you and us all in the blessed and safe way of his service. Your affectionate brother, Wm. H. White (His signature here) P.S.: If I remember correctly about 20 years ago I wrote to my step father, Mr. James H. Calvert for some family data from the old family Bible. He sent me two leaves written on by mother n the first part and himself on the latter part of each leaf. The old Bible itself, I suppose, was at home when mother died, was it not? If so, some of you keep it. Wm. H.W. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------

To whomever might be interested: Here is a couple of more interesting letters pertaining to the Whites and Gilberts in my great grandfather's papers: ------------------------------------------------------- 910 Peden Ave. Houston, Tex., March 2, 1932. Rev. Willam Henry White, Prattville, Ala. Dear Sir, The enclosed copy of a letter recievd by me in reply to my letter to Mr. W. J. White (Wm. James White of Spartanburg, S.C.) will explain itself. If you can give me any information about the Whites whom I am a descendant of I would very much appreciate it. My great-grandmother was a Mary Ann White who married John Bastick in Abbeville, S.C.. She had two brothers, Robert and Durrett, and a sister, Mrs. Elizabeth (White) Edwards who moved to Pickens (Co.?) Ala and Noxichee Co., Miss. about 1819. -- I want to know who the father and mother of these Whites were. I would very much appreciate any help you might give me. Respectfully, (Miss) Gertrude Gilbert. -------------------------------------------------------------- Answering letter from my great grandfather Rev. Wm. Henry White: Prattville, Ala., April 19th, 1932. Miss Gertrude Gilbert, 910 Peden Ave., Houston, Texas. Dear Madam, Your letter dated March 24th recieved and I must ask your pardon in the long delay in answering, but some unaboidable things came in the way. I take pleasure in answering the best I can, but I fear that I may not have much of the information that you desire as to the ancestry of the White family. The copy of the letter that you sent me from cousin W. James White, Ex-Sherriff of Spartanburg Co., S.C., gives you the information that he recalled. The most that I know about our ancestors on the white side of the house and on the McDowell side, too, (my mother was Miss Isabella Jane McDowell), was on account of a search of the authentic records some years ago to establish the fact that we were descended from Col. Henry White of Revolutionary War fame, a Colonel of aobut 500 Cavalrymen under Gen. Daniel Morgan.. This I was enabled to do so that our daughters might join the D.A.R., and my two nieces of Amarillo, Texas might do the same. They were daughters of my dear brother, now past away, Edwrd Walker White, of "White & Kirk", wholesale and retail merchants. Brother Edward died in Battle Creek Sanitarium (a medical hospital in Michigan), June 1907. My father, John Warren White, 1st Lt. in the Confederate Service, died of his third wound in Oct. 1864. in Dannville, Va. on the way home in S.C.. One of our sons secured a fellowship in college from the U.D.C. on account of this conection, and later lost his health from his army sercice from the awful World War (WW.I).. Excuse me for mentioning these personal matters, but hoped it might serve to connect up to some information that you desire. But after looking into our family bible I am going to send you a copy of a letter to our married daughter, Mrs. Maude J. Rodgers, which includes a list of the family tree of the Whites, from Col. Henry White down to the present. You might copy a part, or all of this if you like, and return the letter, as I would like to keep the letter in our bible. From the old bible list you see Ann White married Flemming. I remember hearingn our relatives speak of Uncle Flemming in Spartanburg, S.C.. This is evidently the Mary Ann White that cousin Jim. W. White is writing of to you. I distictly remember the Gilberts in S.C.---likely have seen some of them in my younger days. But more than half my life has been lived out of my dear native state, S.C.. I lived six years in the great state of Texas; one year with our family in Upshur Co., and five years in Cooke Co.. I left Texas in 1877, afterwards finished my college and Theological Seinary course in S.C. and ministerial work has been in Ala., N.C., and S.c.. The Mary Ann White, your great grandmother, may be the Mary White, in the list, and yet the latter married Uncle Flemming, which seems to nullify it. I suggest that you write to the Probate Judge of Abbeville, Co., S.C. for a polling list of the Whites, and write some of them for the information you desire. Evidently some of our ancestors emigrated to that county, and that we are of the same general family. In my late search I found that two brothers caem from England before the Rev. War, one settled in Va., and one came to S.C. from whom we are descended. They were, so far as I found, loyal patriots. I wish you success on your search--will aid you all that I can. In the years past, I have often wished, as it is the most important thing as you of course know, to hae traits favoring our Father in Heaven, and our Elder Brother Jesus Christ our Lord. Very Respectfully yours, Rev. Wm. H. White ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I just thought somone out there would find the above letters from the past interesting. Take care, David Edelen Millbrook, Al..

Hello, A while back I posted a couple of queries about Mount Hope Cemetery where my g.g.grandmother was buried. Below is a letter dated 1939 by a niece of James Henry Calvert, my g.g.grandmothers 2nd husband. It mentions some of the Calvert kids, when and where they were born, and clarifies the cemetery question. I thought someone, especially descendents of James Henry Calvert, might be interested. Here is the letter: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- 5215 Wissahickon Ave., Phillidelphia, Pennsylvania, March 25, 1939. Mr. William H. White, Prattville, Alabama. My Dear Mr. White, For a number of years my husband and I have been compiling a record of the Calvert family and in connection with the account of the life of James Henry Calvert. I wrote to to Cousin Nannie Calvert in Plainview, Texas, for some information concerning him. I was quite anxious to learn something about the life of his first wife, Jane White, and cousin nannie suggested that I write you for such details as she could not furnish me. Any assistance you can give me will be gratefully appreciated and will assist us materially in completing the account of his life. For your convenience, I have listed the various matters I desire further information upon, in questionnaire form and any of the questions you can answer, I have provided sufficient space following the quesion so you can insert the answer and thus save yourself a lot of additional writing. I am also enclosing a stamped self-addressed envelope so you can readily return the form to me. And as I said before, we will be so thankful for any help you can give us. The information we particularly wish to obtain concerns your mother, Jane White. We would like to know her father's name, her mother's maiden name; also the date your father and mother were married, and the date of your father's death; also the name of the cemetery in which he was buried? We would also be glad to have any recollections you may have of he lives of your mother and your step-father after they had migrated to Texas, following theri marriage November 20, 1866, iin Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Cousin Nannie has related that they first lived in Upshur County, where James Jasper Calvert was born in 1872; then removed to Cooke County, where Isabella Jane McDowell Calvert was born in 1874 and shortly there after, on April 13, 1874, your mother died and was buried in the graveyard of Mount Hope Church, and of James Henry Calvert's second marriage, augus 15, 1875, to Nellie Hooper, daughter of J. A. Hooper, and the birth of Elizabeth Deview Caovert, and, in the spring of 1890, if the family moving to Plainview. Perhaps I should explain that James Henry Calvert was my uncle, my mother's only brother. I am the daughter of Sarah Deview Calvert Getry; my father was Miles Oscar Gentry. Assuring you of our grateful appreciation of any assistance you can give us and looking forward with iinterst and pleasure to hearing from you, I am, Cordially and sincerely, (Her signature is here), Mary Gentry Knight (Mrs. B. Hoff Knight) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------

I too would like to find the Obituary or death record for my great grandmother, Isabella Jane Calvert. Her maiden name was Isabella Jane McDowell, then she married John Warren White and lived in Spartanburg, S.C., and John dying in the Civil War, she remmarried a Mr. James H. Calvert in 1866 and they and some friends and relatives migrated to Cooke Co., Texas.

Hello Sheridan, You might be right about it being an old cemetery out of use.

Hello Bill and Karli, That is interesting that you live in Amarillo. Amongst my great grandfather's papers were letters to and from he and his brother who started White and Kirk. They were obviously very close and loved each other dearly. It is sad when you read in one of his letters how he would love to visit and see them once more, but due to old age and funds he says something like "I know now that I will be unable to do so." My grandmother and great aunts used to speak of the "ones that went to Texas" as if they had just left and had only spoken a recently, when truth be known it had been many years. Unfortunately all contact died along with my great grandfather's generation. Also amongst his papers was some old newspaper clippings from Amarillo. One was an article about the first "Fire Wagon" in Amarillo, which included a pic of it, a horse drawn Fire Wagon. I sent this to the Amarillo Fire Dept a few years ago as I figured they would like to have it and would at least find it interesting. I never heard from, or a thanks from anyone. I hope the Amarillo Fire Dept. recieved the pic. If y'all by any chance know the descendents of Edward W.and Leota Alice (Kirk) White, the original co-owners of White and Kirk (the other owners were her brothers), or could by any chance give them a message for me if you know where they live, I would love to meet and/or correspond with these long lost cousins, descendents of my great grandfather's brother that he was so obviously close to. I also have some pics I would love to share with them as well.. I have a pic of the original "White and Kirk" store interior back in the old west, showing some people standing in front of and behind the counters, and pics of Edward Walker White and Leota Alice Kirk, and a couple of their kids. I would love to correspond with any of these distant relatives. I would be glad to share the pics with them as I am sure they would like to have them. I would love to share my White file with them as well. It goes back to Col. Henry White in Rev War South Carolina. I even have a pic of him in his Rev War uniform. He was a Lt. Col. in command of a regt of cavalry or mtd riflemen of S.C. Militia. I have a pic of who I believe is Lt. John Warren White, Co. "K" ("Spartan Rifles"), Palmetto SharpShooters, S.C. Vols.., in his Confederate uniform. John Warren White was the father of Edward Walker White and his brother Rev. Wm. Henry White (my gr. grandfather). John Warren White had four other brothers, only one of which survived the Civil War, Jasper "Jack" White. He too migrated to Texas and had two sons, Bert and William. I have no idea where he wound up though. I wish I could find his descendents. He was at the side of, and buried, the last two or three of his brothers to die. He was trying to bring my g.g.grandfather John Warren White home to S.C. after being shot in the neck at Petersburg in 1864, but John died on the way. So poor Jasper White buried the last of his brothers. Besides Jasper's pain and anguish at loosing four brothers, I can only imagine the pain and anguish of those boys' parents, Hiram and Agatha Gibbs White. They lost four sons in that war, three in 1862. Three of your children in one year. I can't imagine. Well, I reckon I had better go. Forgive me for rambleing on. Take care, David Edelen Millbrook, Al. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill & Karli Dye" <bdye5@cox.net> To: <TXCOOKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 12:22 PM Subject: Re: [TXCOOKE] Mt.

Jones is in the western 1/3 and Rusk and Cherokee are in the far eastern part near the LA border. Tyler is also east and is south of Rusk and Cherokee. There is always a possibility that this cemetery is a really old one that is no longer in use. I don't remember if you gave dates or not.

Hello David, It's probably too easy for this to have relevance here, but there is a New Hope Cemetery just outside of Gainsville (to the south-east). In fact, our website for Cooke County TxGenWeb project shows the following: "New Hope Located 1 mile south of Burns City, on west side of FM 372. 332943N 0970242W " Also..... Also, the following link is a Mapquest map as to exactly where Burns City is located and if you zoom in one more step it will show you the cemetery location. Last, there is a website with almost every grave in Cooke County that you might want to take a look at, located: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~texastrails/index/cemetery/acoo ke.htm Good Luck and Happy Hunting, Bob Hudspeth -----Original Message----- From: David Middleton Edelen II [mailto:k98@bellsouth.net] Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 11:45 AM To: TXCOOKE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TXCOOKE] Mt. Hope Cem, and Calverts, Wyatts, and Whites Hello all, I wish someone knew where Mount Hope Cemetery, Gainesville, Cooke Co. Texas was? I have been told there is no Mount Hope Cemetery in Cooke Co.. But my great grandfather, Rev. Wm. Henry White, said in an old letter that his mother was buried there in 1874. Her maiden name was Isabella Jane McDowell, born in South Carolina. Her first husband was John Warren White, my g.g.grandfather, they having a farm along Fair Forest Creek near Spartanburg, S.C..

Edward Walker White and his brothers in law started a store in Amarillo called White and Kirk, sort of a general store I reckon. He also was very successful in the copper mining business there. I would love to hear from Edward Walker White's descendents. Does Amarillo's county, whatever that is, have a "rootsweb" list address I can send e-mails too? Heck, I even have some pics of them and their kids around here somehwere. Their descendents would probably love to have copies of them. Anyway, Isabella Jane (McDowell) White had four mour children by Mr. Calvert. Around 1874, when his mom died in Cooke Co., my great grandfather Wm. Henry White, went back to S.C., becoming a Presbyterian Minister, thus my family is still back here in the Deep South. I am sure there are a lot of distant White relatives still in S.C. too. Two of John Warren White's sisters, Missouri Louise White, born in 1844 in S.C., who married a Mr. Monroe Wallace Wyatt (they too went to Cooke Co., where they are buried), and Mary Adeline White, born in S.C. in 1843, also went to Texas. One John W. and Isabella Jane McDowell White's daughters, Sally Anna White, born 1857 in S.C., who married a Mr. Wm. Chandler, also went to Texas where she is buried. Before and after the Civil War a lot of my McDowell and White relatives, and some Blacks, Wyatts, Wests, etc., who married into these families, migrated west. There was a whole set of children of a Mr. Wyatt who married a McDowell, sibling to my ancestor, went to Texas in 1873. I have my White file back to Col. Henry White (Rev. War) in South Carolina, and my McDowell fine back to when they came over from Ireland in the mid-1790s if anyone is related or interested, and it shows those some of those others that married into the family and some that migrated to other states. But anyway, if anyone knows where Mount Hope Cemetery there in Gainesville, Cooke Co., Tex. is I would surely appreciate any info on it. One day I would like to go visit her grave.

Hi David, Interesting-- some of our family is from Cooke County and we even have some buried in Spring Creek Cem., Cooke Co. as you can see below. We live in Amarillo, and our counties are Potter/Randall. I'll forward your email on to one of the primary Genealogy Soc. people so he can respond. BTW- I've bought many a dress, etc. and still have some of the hats that came from White & Kirk. White and Kirk was an upper crust type store that primarily carried nicer clothes, furs, etc. Thanks for any who relay info to us on our Dye family.
