Hi, again, In Homer Stephen's book "Frontier Postmasters" he lists John M. Harbin as the postmaster of Bishop, Erath County, Texas from 9/5/1890 to 5/2/1892, when either the name was changed to Harbin or the Harbin Post Office took over the Bishop post office area. Since Fred's grandad lived in maratheal's Gap (Greasy) School, a suburb of the Skipper's Gap area and served by the Skipper's Gap post office. Guess what Johnsville was called at first? Clara Stigler Atkins of Chalk Mountain and one of my first elementary teachers at Johnsville, said someone from Stephenville was out on a Sunday Drive on the old dirt U.S. 67 , where the Johnsville post office was located near the gin, Blacksmith shop, and Lodge hall, near the old school location. They saw some new houses being built and said "Whodathoughtit? They are building new houses out inthe middle of Nowhere". so, some called it Whodathoutit > Another nickname of the area was " Poodleville" because of the high number of dogs, mostly hunting dogs. The Post office was named Johnsville because of the high number of people- several to a family- with the first name of John- John Little, John Bunch, John Mills, John Skipper, John Crockett, John Keahey, John Cox, John Wallace, John Howell, John McNight, and several others, with 2 or 3 by that name living at the same time. Nicknames were popular to give one a personal identity. Why? Possibly the Anglo Saxon naming pattern (or Irish, English. Belgian, depending on sources) might explain this in a community where 3 and 4 generation families lived near each other. THE FIRST SON WAS NAMED FOR HIS FATHER'S FATHER. THE SECOND SON WAS NAMED FOR HIS MOTHER'S FATHER, THE THIRD SON WAS NAMED FOR HIS FATHER THE FOURTH SON WAS NAMED FOR HIS FATHER'S ELDEST BROTHER. THE FIRST DAUGHTER WAS NAMED FOR HER MOTHER'S MOTHER. THE SECOND DAUGHTER WAS NAMED FOR HER FATHER'S MOTHER. THE THIRD DAUGHTER WAS NAMED FOR THE MOTHER. THE FOURTH DAUGHTER WAS NAMED FOR THE MOTHER'S ELDEST SISTER. Take care, Charles Augustine Wyly ( the 5 th Augustine in honor of Judge Augustine Smith Clayton, a populas Georgia Judge- who wrote " Davey Crockett, by Himself" under the name Atticus and others by a Fitzramble name.
