I have such a map. We got several copies in 2000 to hand out at our family reunion. It has Erath County and a street map of Dublin on one side and a street map of Stephenville on the other. I did not get these maps. Paggy Broughton did. Maybe Peggy will read this message and respond with the source.

Sarah - thanks for this heads-up! I managed to find all the books (used) online and have loaned them around to my Huckabay and Hannibal neighbors until they are completely dog-eared.

Hi! Several of you had asked about the availability of my mother's books written about the Thornton's and Erath County. She just found out that they are going to be bundled and sold at WalMart, among other places. They will be out this spring, but she was not given a specific date yet. She writes under the name Linda Timian Herring if you want to watch out for them! Sarah :) ===== Sarah Herring Claburn http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=sarclaburn Researching: Herring - Thornton - Sechrist - Lammert - Timian - Torrans - Squyres - Claburn __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hi, Pony Creek did not join Chalk Mountain- Marble or Martheal's Gap. commonly called "Greasy" School was between them. Brileys of Indian Creek were related to McCartys and had attended 'Greasy". it was near the Howell Dairy and past the Bumper Gate road towards the Paluxy. and the other end went to Iredell back past Marshall Sherrod's and through Maratheal's Gap, east of Skipper's Gap. When Marble closed as inactive, Howells and McKnights came to Johnsville School and others went to Chalk Mountain school, before Pony Creek (Which was made up of 3 smaller schools), Chalk Mountain and Johnsville consolidated to form the Three Way School on Hiway 67 across from the newer Johnsville store and the Johnsville to Pony Creek road. On Hwy 67, the main or Prarie branch of the Duffau Creek crosses Hwy 67 twice, going south the second time, then you cross Pony Creek below the store, which runs north to the Paluxy. The Evans and Gillentine and Box- Pony Creek cemeteries are between the North branch of Duffau Creek and the Pony Creek. Tjhe Box School was cleared on weekends for dances or Community meals. Bro. Becker used to come out from Stephenville and hold Summer Revival Meetings under the Oak Trees at Pony Creek by the church, where it was cool. No tabernacle was used. Maurice Chandler and Autrey Roberson built the present benches in the church and the 3 Sunday School rooms upstairs in the attic. Some thought the water from the Evans- old Pony Creek cemetery was polluting the hand dug well between Pony Creek Church and the old Box Methodist Church School, and lodge hall. Johnsville also had a 2 story building across from Post Office and cotton gin - a Lodge upstairs and a former Blacksmith shop was used by us kids of Johnsville School and retired men for Horseshoes, Washer to, and Dominoes. Next to it in Marion Mills' pasture was the Johnsville Baseball field used by Bosque Valley League. Billy Joe Stasey had left the Roswell team to farm the Chalk Mountain home place and pitched for Johnsville against White Settlement, Iredell, Dublin?, Tolar some, and Grandbury on Sunday afternoons. A Pony Creek Baptist Deacon and Johnsville Church of Christ Elder went to Stephenville together to a Judge who ordered that charging on Sundays was a violation of State Blue Laws of Sunday Observance, sote custom, was begun to pass the hat through the fans. Cled Pruitt of Purves taught us at Johnsville in the "Big Room" and was the Principal . Connie Herring, Ruby Beach Rumph,Clara Atkins, and others had taught in the "Little Room"- grades 1 to 4. 4 th graders taught some spelling and reading to first graders and in doing so, helped themselves to better education. Cled's brother M.B. became a Baptist pastor and pastored at Pony Creek while attending Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth. He later pastored a large church near Mesquite, Texas. . He told us one Sunday that at one time he could see 4 to 6 fires "Burning Cedar Brush" where people were cooking off Moonshine. We could see the ridge towards Comanche Peak and some other Hood and Somerville County hills across the Paluxy from the area. Howard Keith of Stephenville- Dublin area also pastored there and Cedar Point, as did Bro. Holt from Bluff Dale. Lost yet? Charles A.

Richard, If your Lambs are related to a Leo Lamb who married Gussie Kennon, I can give you info. on that family. Gussie was my great aunt. Shirley Mendelson

Thanks, Peggy and Tom, With your help, I was able to find it on my Erath County Map. Margaret

Hi, I attended Church at Pony Crek, commonly called by Many, Box Church. I nmoticed the present group useing the abandoned building has a Historic Marker I question . Dr. D.D. Tidwell of Duffau and Southwestern Seminary and Baylor Ubniversity read the history of the Church at their centenial in appx. 1960's. The Church was organized by Bill Robinson of Stephenville and Dublin churches, and partner Great Great Grandad Dr. and pharmacist and Preacher Dr. William Pinckney Hatchett It was organized as a "Church of Christ to be called Pony Creek Baptist Church " and elected delegates to Paluxy Baptist Asociation. Most Primitive Baptists did not attend, even though, like some Methodist and Episcopal churches, had spontaneous, not scheduled footwashings- not as a doctorine but as a sign of humility. A few yards towards Johnsville was the Box Methodist Church and lodge hall and community school, where Great Aunt Susie Moxley taught while living with some Belcher kin. In late 1890's Ben Wyly of Atlanta and Stephenville was an elder in the Methodist Church there - and a member of the lodge upstairs. The first cemetery, mostly Evans kin is in John Rumph's pasture in front- not behind the church. Between there and the Rumph home where John Grew up is the private Rumph- Beach-Gillentine Cemetery, with a rock fence- a few hundred yards from the foirst Rumph Rock home. John is now across U.S. 67 from it. Keep going past Hurley and Riggs community houses and land and down Miller Hill was the last Pony Creek School. Mitchell Crek Church and cemetery are across the road and past the old school ground. The Post office was listed as Pizarro. John Crockett, formerly a partner and soldier with Quantrill and the James Brothers. This has given rise to folk legends of silver coins buried there by possibly Jesse and John. " Post Hole Banks" were common from then to 1940's and longer for a few. More later Charles A.

Pony Creek starts north of Johnsville and flows NE. To get to Pony Creek Cemetery, turn off Hwy 67 at Johnsville (11 mi. SE of Stephenville) on the dirt road going north.
