The only thing I can add is about the first wife of Elisha Hobbs. Her name was spelled many different ways (diza, disa and disey). Her maiden was Hoover. She was the sister to my gggg grandmother, Rebecca Hoover Hamilton who was married to Isaac Hamilton. These Hamiltons lived in Limestone county. Elisha and Disey were also living in Limestone county in 1850. Thanks again for all the wonderful info you provided. Good luck to you, Karen dparker1954@attbi.com

Hey folks Does anyone have any infomation on an Outlaw Jim Miller? He evidently had quite a reputation and supposedly killed his brother-in-law in Plum Creek, Texas. I thought if someone has a biography they have written, that would be an interesting item to include on the Freestone Co. pages. Thanks jimmy

Milinda Elizabeth Willard, daughter and oldest child of William Willard and Lovey Duggan, was born 4 July 1832 in TN and died 19 September 1905 Freestone Co., TX. She is buried in Fairfield Cemetery, Fairfield, TX. In Tennessee she lived with her grandmother, Elizabeth Duggan, until her death and then with her uncle, James Duggan, for many years. Her sister, Margaret L. Willard, was also living with the uncle in 1860. After coming to Texas from Cannon Co., TN about 1870, Milinda lived with her sister Margaret L. Willard Orand and her husband W. H. Orand in the Ward Prairie Community in Freestone Co. Milinda married Elisha Hobbs when she was 50 years old and moved to Fairfield. William Willard (1811 TX - 1897 TX) had 18 children: 6 by Lovey Duggan (ca. 1815 TN - bef. 1842 TN) and 12 by Telitha Summers (1825 TN -1898 TX). Mike

When Freestone County was partitioned from Limestone Co. in the election of Jan 6, 1851, he was elected as one of the 4 County Commissioners. These commissioners oversaw the forming of the county precincts, the selection and naming of Fairfield as County Seat. He served in this capacity for several years. Elisha and Diza had 4 children: Elijah born in Tennessee 1841, Nancy born in Tennessee 1845, James W. born in Texas 1850, and Harvey B. born in Texas 1855. Diza passed away Oct 3, 1885 and is buried in the Salem Cemetery near Troup, Texas. During the Civil War Elisha served in the Texas Light Artillery and other Texas units.
