Each Monday's edition of the Marshall News Messenger, includes the front page of the same date, 1899 issue. I thought you'd get a kick out of one little ad that appeared September 27, 1899. How Do You Do - Without a Telephone? It is the great timesaver of the age, and so inexpensive that nobody can afford to be without one. If you had a telephone in your office or home, you would save much mental and physical effort and no end of time and annoyance. SOUTHWESTERN TELEGRAPH and TELEPHONE COMPANY What would be the 'great timesaver' of today? A computer? A cell phone? Caller ID? Answering machine? Oh, how far we've come... Gail

Subj: "H" Surnames I received and kept this list a while back, thought I would resend it in case someone needs it. It is the only page I have...I sure could use the "C" List, as I am researching Senator David Conner of Talladega Co./St. Clair Co., AL. and his wife, Elizabeth Caroline MERCER..b.? Any assistance with their ancestors would be greatly appreciated.

The census was done in 1840 by humorist Johnson J. Hooper on 10-20-1840. It lists them as the families must have lived next to each other and not in alphabetical order. I am typing the info as it appears. I can not give any additional information other than the neighbors of the specific name that you need. This census is on microfilm. It lists the head of household; address; number of free whiite males/females in various age groups; slaves and free persons of color in 6 different age groups; number of deaf & dumb, blind, insane and idiots in public or private charge; number of each family member listed in 7 classes of occupations; number in school; number of free whites over age 20 that could not read or write; number of pensioners for Revolutionary or military service. I do NOT have this information....I only have what was given to me and I pass it to you. If you would like this information, you will need to check in national or state repositories.

In a message dated 9/13/1999 12:50:54 AM Pacific Daylight Time, TXHARRISON-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: << 4. The Haggerty House, built by ? Haggerty, and the first in the city to be electrically wired, now a private residence. >> Gail, Perhaps my gr. grandfather's obit will answer your question as to who built the Haggerty House. It was his father Burwell Jefferson Briggs, my 2great grandfather. Next time I get to Texas I will have to see the home. Give my regards to Hubert Bender whom I met 2 years ago when visiting Marshall & Jefferson. Renee Briggs Seattle OBITUARY : Jan. 29, 1911 - We are pained to record the death of another old citizen in the person of JOHN W. BRIGGS, who has resided on the Briggs Homestead near Norwood for over 50 years and was widely known over that old historic section. His father Burwell Briggs (1800-1852) built the old Haggerty homestead near his own home over 75 years ago and helped to erect the first houses that stood for the village of Jefferson...four boys and a daughter (survive)...(Marriage and Death Notices from the Jefferson Jimplecute).

Sad to say, but none of the names people wanted me to listen for were involved with the houses Hubert Bender talked about yesterday. However, it was a fascinating program! He talked about 11 of Marshall's historic homes (there are lots more!) - the tape recorder was not in evidence yesterday, but the group was very receptive to making available transcripts of programs. I think this will be done for yesterday's program, and I'll let you know if and when it's available. In the meantime, what follows is a brief summary of the homes and people we heard about. This is just from my notes, and I'm sure I missed some details. I just hope I got all the right names with the right houses! Some of these houses - and more! - are featured at the Center for East Texas Studies site http://www.cets.sfasu.edu/Harrison/ Follow the Lale Trail. 1. The Allen House, built by Rev.Montague Allen, a Cumberland Presbyterian minister, between 1876 and 1879, now owned by the Historical Society. Rev. Allen and his sons did much of the carpentry and masonry work on the house. 2. The Arnot House, built by Albert Arnot, 1848, now a law office. Mr. Arnot was a blacksmith, who left his family in 1850, to look for gold in CA. He and his wife, Lucinda, later divorced. 3. The Fry-Barry Home, built by W. A. DeWard (?), between 1853-1860, sold to Wm T. Womack, 1863, and then to Edward James Fry, 1875. The brick work in this house was done by Dick Lane and Green Hill, slaves who were renowned for their masonry - true artisans and craftsmen, who also laid the brick for the 1st Methodist Church. It is now privately owned. 4. The Haggerty House, built by ? Haggerty, and the first in the city to be electrically wired, now a private residence. 5. The Hochwald House, built by Ike Hochwald, who married Amelia Rafael, compl. 1895, now privately owned. Hochwald, b. 1865 in St. Louis, came to Marshall, from an orphanage in New Orleans, as a ward of one of the Kahn brothers. At one time there was a fabulous doll musuem in the house, and there used to be a turntable in the garage, so that the driver did not have to back the car out. 6. Magnolia Hall, built 1866 (or earlier perhaps), by John H. Lee, as a wedding gift for his daughter. The most recent owner of the house died recently, and it is for sale. 7. The Starr Home, built 1870, by James Frank Starr, whose father was James Harper Starr, now a Texas State Park, open for tours. 8. Mimosa Hall, reputed to be the oldest brick structure in Harrison County, built by Webster, who was from AL. He began construction in 1840, but stopped to build a house for C. K. Andrews. The Andrews house is today better known as the home of T. J. Taylor, father of Lady Bird Johnson. Mimosa Hall was in the Blocker family until more recent years and is now privately owned. 9. The Pattillo House, built either in 1846, by W.M. Pattillo, 1856, by Trenton Alexander Pattillo, or in 1866. It was bought by W. P. Lane for his daughter Paye Lane. Trenton Pattillo was the first elected county judge of Harrison County, and the founder of the Texas Republican newspaper. 10. The Turner Cottage, built by Georg Gregg, 1854. It used to face Crockett St., but was moved, so that it now faces S. Washington. In 1866, James Turner won the house in a poker game (on a Sunday morning, when he was on his way to church!) Mr. Turner was married to Eudora Knox, who was related to both Pres. Polk and Pres. Adams. It is now privately owned. 11. The Wigfall House, built by Dr. Jefferson M. Saunders. Louis Wigfall, a passionate states-righter/secessionist, and avowed enemy of Sam Houston, lived there. Wigfall is described as an 'unreconstructed rebel', who got in trouble with just about everyone he ever came in contact with, including Jefferson Davis!

Several people have asked me to post how to join the Harrison County Genealogical Society. Dues are $10 a year, for individuals, and $15, for families. Please send a check to HCGS, P. O. Box 597, Marshall, TX 75672. Members receive a quarterly newsletter, now edited by Yours Truly. The September issue will go in the mail tomorrow after the meeting. I'm currently working on an online version of the newsletter, which I hope to have up by tomorrow. See www.rootsweb.com/~txharris/hcgensoc.htm for more info on the society and what's available. I think the suggestion to make available summaries of meetings, including the programs, is a good one - we'll definitely discuss this and other ways of providing for members who don't live in the area. Suggestions welcome! Gail

At the present time, the newsletter does not print transcript of talks, but it's something to think about. I'll bring it up at the meeting tomorrow - more likely we would make them available at modest cost to cover copies, in addition to the newsletter. For information on joining HCGS, please see www.rootsweb.com/~txharris/hcgensoc.htm I've added CANNON for Pat Talley and Noah CALLOWAY for Angie, so my ears will be so busy, I won't be able to talk! Hope I hear something to share with you all.

I am looking for any information on the following two persons buried in the Scottsville Cemetery, Harrison County, Texas. One stone has: Sacred To The Memory of Samuel T. SCOTT 1799-1848 and the other stone has: Sacred To The Memory of Cathrine SCOTT 1800-1842. I have been looking for my gg-grandparent's. Although I do not know my gg-grandfather's name, it is believed that my gg-grandmother was Catherine or Caty. They were living in Tennessee (Maury or Giles County) in 1827 but do not know for sure where either was born. When I submitted a query in Tennessee it was suggested that I look for a Samuel SCOTT. The story goes that when their son William A. SCOTT was 2 years old, his father left for Texas and his mother (who we believe to be a HOLT) left W. A. with a brother, Rev. Jerry Holt and she also moved to Texas. No one has been able to find where in Texas they went although we believe that one of her grandchildren went to see her at least once. W.A.'s parents never went back to Tennessee to get him so there was a lot of resentment on his part. My cousin was in Scottsville and saw the two names that we believe to be the parents (Samuel and Catherine) in the Scottsville Cemetery. She took pictures in hopes that they may be the person's we are looking for. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Mary Ann SCOTT McGuffin mcguffin@uthscsa.edu San Antonio, TX

Through Cathy Carter who's enumerating the residents of Greenwood Cemetery, I've verified that my ancestor Martha Rains Price and her husband Richard C Price are buried there. Cathy also tells me that Hubert Bender is giving a talk this Saturday on early Harrison Co residents. If anyone on the list will be attending I'd so much appreciate hearing of anything he might have to say about the early Rains. If I'm correct in my assumptions Martha would have arrived in the 1870's (d 1879) along with (or possibly to join) other members of the family. Thanks to anyone who can help. Jan Holloway Montara CA

I will be on vacation from tomorrow (Friday 9/10/99)afternoon until Monday the 20th. I will be signing off all my lists so my mailbox won’t fill up while I’m gone. Can’t get housesitter to do the e-mail thing. Y’all please don’t let anything interesting happen while I’m gone! Hope everybody finds a lost relative while I’m away though. Please write after the 20th if you need to contact me. Peggy peggy@dhc.net

Just to remind anyone who will be in the Marshall area this weekend - the Harrison County Genealogical Society will meet at 1:30pm, at the museum. Hubert Bender will talk about the historic homes of Marshall and the people who built and lived in them. It should be very interesting! Please join us if you'll be in town. Remember that dues are only $10 a year, which entitles you to the quarterly newsletter and enables the society to continue adding to the excellent research library.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my query concerning the birth and death certificate query. I lived in Harrison Co., TX up until three years ago, and I can state with confidence that the people who work with USGenWeb, namely on the Harrison Co. site, and those who do research in the area are choice individuals. This mail list and the people who participate in it reflect the joy and love of our great state of Texas. Thanks again, Cindy S. Pruitt lpruitt@maxinet.com

I am collecting information on the families of Samuel T. Scott, Zachariah Scott, James Scott, and their sister Elizabeth Howell and any other of their siblings who migrated to Harrison Co., TX and probably surrounding counties in Texas after ca. 1839. Samuel Scott's first wife was Katherine (Kate) Keller, and it is believed that at least two of her Keller nephews also migrated to Texas. Do you have any information which you can share with me? I am currently collecting their records in these previous residences: Copiah Co., MS; East Feliciana parish, LA; West Feliciana Parish, LA; and Wilkinson Co., MS. Also have some documents from Sumter Co., SC where the Scott children (seven sons and two daughters) were born. If you share, I will share. Evelyn W.Wallace hdanw@aol.com

HI all, This site was sent to me this morning - photographs taken from the Depression to WWII. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/fsahtml/fsageogindex1.html Scroll down to 'From South Dakota - Aberdeen to Texas - Laredo' and then to Harleton. There are black and white pictures of an old farmer. The pictures for Jefferson are interesting, too.

Another interesting story on Harrison Co Vital records. My mother was b. in Marshall in 1917. My grandmother "went home to have the baby" to HER mother's house. Well, years passed and my mother found herself in Oregon during WWII trying to get a teaching job and they told her she needed a birth cert. So she wrote the clerk's office and they wrote back and said that she would have to send some money cause there was an error on her b. c. and to send her full name. So she did. Years later...in the early 80's she was up there and decided she would go to the clerks office and see exactly what it was that was wrong on her b. c. They went and looked and came back and told her that the doctor that had delivered her in the middle of the night came to the courthouse the next morning and registered "Baby Girl Phillips" Well, she went for over 20 years on the "record" as that. Have a great evening. Jan Searching: Whetstone, Hill, Holmes, Jackson, Anderson, Hampton, House and Phillips in Harrison Co.
