I just read from Red River Co., Tx list, a Diane Miller had some very interesting facts that might help me in my research. I know that John Ware and wife Ann (McCarley) owned the land that the old Shiloh cemetery is on. At least I believe they did. Her brother G. W. McCarley owned land next to them and Ezekiel P. Wallis and wife Sarah (McCarley) adjoined land with each of them. Somewhere about 1838 or 1839 were the dates of owning the land. I have been looking for any McCarley's who are a part of this family. They came from Pope Co., Arkansas before entering Texas. Before Arkansas they were in Morgan Co., Alabama. I was lucky enough to find Ulisses Ware, son of John and Ann, just the other day, in the 1870 Census in Little River Co., Ark. with a 12 year old son John. If anyone has any information about any of these three families, I would appreciate hearing from you. Ezekiel P. and Sarah (McCarley) Wallis are buried in Stone Chapel cemetery, Cherry Community.

This weeks Clarksville Times also has a picture of my wife's parents, John and Dorothy Townes, wishing them a Happy 61 st Wedding Anniversary. I almost overlooked it. The picture was taken this past Christmas with John dressed up in his Sunday Coveralls. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx

Jim, thank you so much for all your efforts and time on this matter. A bell went off in my head when you mentioned the dedication in 1982. My mother attended the 100 year celebration of the church. She gave me a copy of the history of the church they received at the celebration as well as copies of the deeds where Rebecca Wilson and P. W. Igo and S. C. Igo each gave land to build the new church. I had it filed in my McCarley papers because L.W. McCarley (Nora Alice McCarley Bledsoe was Walter Wm. Bledsoe's wife) was a trustee of the church and signed the papers. I had forgotten about it. It history is 3 typed pages and reads in part: " The Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Clarksville, Texas 1883 - 1984" Parts of it read.." The first Cumberland Presbyterian Church organized in Texas was the Shiloh Church....The first presbytery was organized November 27, 1837. ...Rev. A. R. Roark was ordered by presbytery to form a circuit between the Red River and the Sulfur Fork to form a Circuit between Clarksville Circuit. The original Shiloh Church was organized about six miles and a little northwest from where the town of Clarksville stands. It was believed to have been named Shiloh in honor of the Shiloh Church in Carroll county, Tennessee, near McKenzie, from which some of the members in Texas had come. .... Other early-day members connected with the Church were the Dinwiddlies, who came from the old Shiloh church in Tennessee, the Fultons and the Bledsoes. The present Shiloh Church, of course, has been moved from the original site, but according to tradition, the original Shiloh congregation has always conducted services and had services thought the years. ....Present members of the Church are descendants of the original settlers and founders of the Church. In closing, I want to share with you in this brief history a poem written by J. H. Darnel of TexarkanaTexas. This was first shared with the folks here June 04, 1983 at the 100th anniversary of the founding of Shiloh Church, This poem is entitled " At Shiloh".Parks McCullah, Pastor. If anyone has an interest, I will be happy to type the whole thing out as it does give the names of , Rev. Milton Estill, Rev. Sumner Bacon, Rev. Mitchell Smith, rev. Amos Roark, Bro. Milton Estill, Rev. Smith Clark, Watson family, the Latimers, the Ellises, Richard Ellis, Robert Hamilton and Albert Hamilton Latimer (these last three signed the Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836(, Rev. Samuel Corley, Rev. Johnson, Rev. Matlock, Mrs. Bessie C. Morris, Mrs. Mabelle Robison, Mrs. Ada Slayton, Rev. Norman Shelton. Deed record hasthe names: Rebecca Wilson, L.W. Smith, L. W. Larimer, Wm. Fulton. P. W. Igo, S. C. Igo, Please excuse my typing but if I make a correction I have retype everything from the correction. I promise if anyone wants a copy in its entirety, it will be typed a little better at least. I think I have finally figuredthis out with everyone's help. Thank all or you for your help, especially Jim. Tom could the family referred to as "the Watsons" be your family?

Diane, It is a small world. Jim lived and worked in Mesquite area for about 18 years also. There are others on this site from that area also. You mentioned the Truss family (including Robina Watson Truss) coming from Alabama. My GGrandfather,Frank Wade Watson, and Jim's GGrandfather,Charlie Hurst Watson, were both born in Ala. then their family moved to Red River County. Jim, we may have another cousin!

Madras Cemetery is at Madras behind the Presbyterian Church on FM 1700. I have said earlier that the Presbyterian Church at Shiloh moved to Madras and then to Clarksville. After going over it, it may well be that the church at Shiloh (Old Shiloh) CR3202 moved straight to Clarksville. The Madras Presbyterian church was started at some point, I am not sure just when, but I will be looking into it more. RR Recollections says First United Presbyterian Church was organized at Old Shiloh in 1833 and was moved to Clarksville in 1858. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx

Hi, Maybe this will help clear it up..... <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~txredriv/madras.html">Madras Cemetery, NE</A> From Clarksville take FM 1159 for about 3 miles to the intersection with FM 1700. Turn east or right onto FM 1700 and go 2.9 miles to CR 3205. Turn right and Shiloh Church and the Madras Cemetery is ahead. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church was first organized at Shiloh then moved to Madras about 1892. A deed dated 28 Mar 1892 and filed for record on 28 May 1892 in Book CH Vol 23 page 360 conveyed 'a tract of the Finley Moore survey' from P. H. Igo et ux to Shiloh Cemetery-Madras. The oldest marked grave is that of Charles R. Dinwiddie who died 3 Jul 1862 Old Shiloh Cemetery, NE Take 1159 north for 3.4 miles to the intersection with CR 3202. Then take CR 3202 east or right for 1.1 miles. The cemetery is on the right and is well marked. The cemetery is a part of the S. F. Moore headright survey. The oldest marked burial is that of Mary S. Bagby who died 25 Apr 1836. It was closed for burials in about 1890-1900. There is a deed dated 20 Apr 1901 and filed for record on 22 Apr 1901 conveying 'tract William Wheat survey' from Leopald Silberburg to Old Shiloh Cemetery Association as recorded in Book CH 41 page 164. Then on 6 Jul 1901, instrunent and file date, a release of lein from Red River National Bank to Old Shiloh Cemetery Association as recorder in Book CH 38 page 155. Due to the usage of the name 'Shiloh' by the media in reference to funeral services at Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian Church and then adding 'with burial there', we have elected to use the name on the entrance to the old cemetery.

Tom, it is a small world. My mother lives in Mesquite and worked for dentists all her working life. I was born and raised in Garland. I am still confused. My mom still swears the Bledsoe graves are at the Old Shiloh Church. You saw them twice recently, yet Jim says that Mardras and Old Shiloh are not the same cemeteries. The cemetery listings show my Bledsoes, at least, at Madras Cemetery. Am I missing something here? I just checked my data base. I only have one Watson, a Robina Watson. She married Samuel Mansfield Truss b. 1856. They had one son Nash Phillips Truss b. in MS. Just to make it a smaller world. The Truss family moved from Ala. to Ms. to Mesquite, Texas.

Diane, I visited The Old Shiloh Cemetery twice recently with Jim and we saw a lot of Bledsoe family graves there.I have practiced Dentistry in Mesquite and have treated the George Bledsoe family for several years.They are a wonderful family.George died about ten years ago and he is buried there.His wife, Bernice, has remarried and lives in the Madras area now. In looking back at census records,it appears that the bledsoe family lived next to my Watsons back in 1880.

Diane, Bingo!! I found some of my notes. The people I know at Madras/Concord, Gillie Woods Quick and her Brother Bill Woods. Their parents are Marshall Lee Woods and Jessie Joe Bledsoe Woods. Jessie Joe (female) parents are Joe Bledsoe & Mary Barnett Bledsoe. My notes are fuzzy from this point, but John's father may have been Gilbert Porter Quick and his father may have been John Morgan Quick. It also seems in my fuzzy notes that Marshall Woods son, Joe Bledsoe married Mary Barnett. Now I know that a Isabelle Giddens married a William Martin Barnett. Isabelle was a sister to my G Grandfather William Jefferson Giddens, children of my GG GF Wiley William Giddens Bill Woods daughter Mary Jo married Bill McGill and live very close to Concord Cemetery, just past Madras. Another daughter, Barbara married Steve Champe (maybe). Well it is late and I must work a long day tomorrow. More later if I have something.

Diane Miller, I will get back to you with the little Bledsoe family connection I have later after I check my files. My Giddens family was at Concord Community/Cemetery about 2 miles east of Madras. Madras Cemetery and Old Shiloh are two different cemeteries. The old Shiloh Cemetery is about a mile or more northwest of Madras Cemetery. I will check it all out later but from memory there was a Presbyterian Church at the Old Shiloh location (the old cemetery is still there of course), then it move to the present location at Madras. To confuse this the Presbyterian Church in Clarksville was originally at Madras before it move to Clarksville.. This may be when the Shiloh Church more to Madras location where the Clarksville Church moved from. I have walked both of the cemeteries. Madras is extremely well kept, the old Shiloh has a nice gate and a historical monument inside the gate, but it is not well kept. Someone must be mowing it from time to time because it is weedy but not brushy, you can wall it all. From my old notes now, I see the monument dates the cemetery at 1833. Two old names in the cemetery are Latimer & Hamilton. Jim Giddens Paris/Clarksville, Tx p.s. I believe I will find my Bledsoe connect to the Bill Woods family that lives today at Madras. Bill's sister, Gillie Woods Quick lives just across the road from the Madras Cemetery. He is in her 80s and is a jewel to visit with. She has lived there all her life. More later. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Miller" <dianermiller@cox-internet.com> To: <TXREDRIV-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 12:48 PM Subject: [TXREDRIV] Madras Cemetery/Old Shiloh Cem. > I am a new member to this list and I am a descendant of the Ballard Gates Beldsoe family of Clarksville.

Thanks, Sharon. This is almost certainly the basic fact.

I think you are right about the Latino births, John, but some probably were drop-in births at the hospital. (Women sometimes intentionally waited until the last minute so they couldn't be transferred to Paris) I was told of situations where the woman sat in the car in the parking lot until the baby was crowning. I guess they just didn't want to go to Paris, although they'd have gotten better care there from an OB specialist instead of a general practitioner. Neither hospital could turn them away just because they had no money. Many times these women had no prenatal care, no insurance, and no money. I remember the man you speak of bringing Mexican-speaking men, women, and children who were injured to the emergency room. He always paid their bill with cash. I know he had whole families living at his place (in addition to single men) and he seemed to take responsibility for their heath care. He served as interpreter when he brought someone to the emergency room.
