Surnames: Lynch, Shoat, Defoor
I descend from George W. Lynch b. 1850/1848 m. Emily DeFoor b. 1854.
His parents were John R. Lynch b. 1798 in PA and Sina Shoat b. 1816 in
TN. Her parents were David Shoat b. 1779 and J.M. Shoat b. 1785. The
Lynch information is on file in the Lynch family folder at Clayton
Library/Houston. It was done by a professional genealogist hired by
ARCO in the 1960s to trace heirs for John R. Lynch for some type of
land rights lawsuit. I have a copy of the genealogist report, but I
don't know what the lawsuit was about. That's as far back as I have on
the Lynch/Shoat line. There is also a write up in the History of
Limestone County book under Lynch Lineage, also available at Clayton
Library, which is basically the same.
Let me know if you have more than this.

Early Monday morning, Banks Burrow, the 14 year old son of Maj. B. M.
Burrow, deaceased, in company with his older brother, Ganri(or d)and
other boys were training young colts at the fair grounds. Banks was
riding at full speed with the other riders slightly behind. The horse
that Banks rode was not able to turn the short curves, and he stumbled
and fell, throwing his rider to the ground with terrible force. The
inertia of the animal sent him rolling over the unfortunate boy,
brusing and crushing him in a shocking manner. Poor Banks was carried
home bleeding and unconscious, and in a few hours he was dead. The

There is a "Hampton GANTT" bur. in Mexia cemetery who is a descendant

There is no Hale listed in the index of this book. page 60 (1871)An
unrecorded reign of terror began in the vicinity of old Springfield
with the appearance of a white man, known
to the Negroes as Dixie. (footnote reads: Simp Dixon was killed near
Springfield on February 2, 1870. It is thought that this Dixie is a
relative of Simp Dixon.) According to elderly Negroes, Dixie proceeded
unrestrained to murder their kind whenever and wherever he caught
them. For more than thirty years a piece of rope dangled from a
bending tree on the old Springfield-Groesbeck road and legend has it
that Dixie hanged Seymor Abrams and Norville Rhodes there. In fact,
the period has given rise to many legends which, for lack of records,
can not be authenticated.
page 97: Doyle, originally called Shady Grove, is situated five miles
north of Groesbeck. Doyle was named in honor of William Elliott Doyle,
a prominent attorney, editor, and mayor of Mexia. Joseph B. Dixon was
appointed postmaster in 1903, and at that time the community changed
its name.
These are the only two Dixons in Ray's book no other spelling.

Alfred Joseph (Job) Clancy, was born in South Carolina, probably in
Sumter District, and moved with his parents to the Mount Ida area of
Pike County, Alabama around the year 1830. He married Sarah Elizabeth
Ganey of Butler County, Alabama in 1851.
A memory passed down to his granddaughter, Allie Rutherford, was
Job’s recollection of the “Night the Stars Fell”, when
his father and mother held his hand during what we understand now to
have been a spectacular Leonid meteor shower. Job was about 8 years
old (according to Allie) when this event occurred.
Job served in the Civil War with the Army of Tennessee in Company C of
the 57th Alabama Regiment, Infantry Division. He enlisted in February
1863, was discharged in February 1865, and received a pension as a
result of a disability incurred in battle. Job fought in the
Dalton-Atlanta campaign, where his unit was cut to pieces in the
Battle of Peach Tree Creek. The 57th Alabama also suffered severe
losses in the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee. Based on the timing of
his discharge, it is likely that Job’s wounds were suffered in
the December, 1864 Battle of Nashville, the last aggressive action of
the Western Southern Confederacy, and another battle in which the 57th
Alabama had a large number of casualties. In his pension application
Job wrote that his disability was “being crippled in the foot and
leg from a wound in back from bullet in War”.
Part of a large migration out of Pike County in response to oppressive
federal reconstruction policies, Job and wife, Sarah Elizabeth, came
in the late 1860’s to Texas from Alabama in a wagon, settling
first at Navasota, then in the Honest Ridge community near Mexia, and
finally at Box Church.
His grandson Joseph Clancy, remembered Job suffering a snakebite on
his big toe, a wound that left him with a crooked toe for the rest of
his life. A competing version is that Job’s toe injury was the
result of frostbite suffered during the Civil War. Job is remembered
as a small man with a long beard that extended almost to his waist,
and according to his cousin, Ralph, Job was a woodworker and a first
class carpenter. His granddaughter, Eva Rutherford, recalled that Job
entertained everyone by playing the fiddle. Eva also remembered that
Job’s favorite meal was chili and rice.
In his later years, after his wife passed away, Job lived with his son
and daughter-in-law , Wren and Janie, and their 14 children until he
passed away in 1917. Even at the age of 91, he worked on the farm
daily. Job died of a disease called "earasiplus" (sp?) which may have
been an infection (staph?) that started around his eye and spread
downward, until it seemed to circle his neck like a red handkerchief.

Henry Wageman served for one year with CoK as Corporal. From his
papers I know he was born in 1830. In Jerry M. Clark Diary he was the
visiting preacher on 3 Jan 1897. On the 1900 Census, Sallie, his widow
is living in the home of their son. How do I find out the year he
died?

Woodruff Lovinggood is living in Limestone county in 1880 listed on
the census with his mom Priscilla Lovinggood. His is listed with his
sister Louise Lovinggood and her husband M.L. Croom.
I speculate he married his wife Areda Lou Campbell in Limestone
county. I also speculate Priscilla Lovinggood
is buried in a unknown location possibly Limestone county. Any help
would be appreciated.,

My g-g-grandfather, J. B. Wood was listed as head of household in
Limestone County, TX federal census of 1860 in household 667/598, age
34, farmer, born TN, with wife M.M.J.E., age 26, born TN, with
children. They are L.A., 6, born TX, J.M., 3, born TX, and M.E., 1,
born TX. I think M.M.J.E. is Martha M.J. Elizabeth Holloway. I am
looking for their ancestry. My great-grandmother was their daughter,
Nancy M. Wood, who married my great-grandfather, John Bennett Graves.
Nancy died in 1892, bur. Mt. Antioch Cemetery.

Looking for descendants of John Thompson Sankey Park who moved to
Mexia, Texas around 1873. He was a Baptist preacher, and in addition
to preaching, he and his son opened a school in Mexia. Was elected
treasurer of the Baptist General Assoc. of Texas in 1873. Had a son
living in Mexia, and a daughter around San Antonio. Died in Feb. 1896
and is probably buried in Mexia. Would like to contact one of his
descendants to see if there is a picture of him avaliable.
