(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.

(Fannie) Bartley J. (Bart) William Daniel (Bill) Benjamin Franklin (Ben) Napoleon Bonaparte (Boney) Sallie Joanna Jefferson James (Jeff) Thomas Pinkney Deborah Janette Lorenzo Bedford (Wren) 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.
