Moses Hare, died in Gates Co. N.C., 1793, is my direct ancestor. He was a Revolutionary War patriot, and his wife was Honore Speight, daughter of Wm. Speight, descendant of Francis Speight born England 1614, who came to Virginia in 1635 on the "Thomas and John". Moses Hare and Honore Speight were married 1734/35 and their children were: Moses, Joseph, John. Elisha Hare and Bridget Small. The Honour Ashburn shown on p. 47 as wife of Moses Hare did marry a Moses Hare but not until March 6, 1793. according to Gates Co. marriage records, and therefore could not have been the mother of the above heirs of Moses and Ibnore Soeight Hare--their youngest son, Elisha Hare having married Easter Norfleet on Dec. 28, 1790, in Chowan Co. N.C. almost three years before Honour Ashburn'S marriage. It is so easy to skip generations in families suffiCiently long_lived to have, bearing the same Christian name, a Senior, Junior and the Third, which is evidently true of the Hare family in Albemarle section of N.C. Consequently one must bear in mind that when Moses Hare, Sr. died in 1765 leaving widow, l1ary, their son Moses, Jr. immediately became Moses Hare, Sr. and that when Moses Hare, Sr. died in 1793, his son Moses, Jr. immediately became Moses, Sr. without benefl.t of the deSignation that he was the third man in Gates Co. to bear the name Moses Hare, Sr. I will thank you to help with this correction and to let interested persons know that I welcome correspondence on these lines: Hare, Speight, Norfleet, Riddick and others from the Albermarle section of No. Carolina and Virginia. Mrs. E. W. Martineau 1016 No. Monroe St. Little Rock, Arkansas I have three volumes of "Our Islands and Their Peoples" published in 1899, containing recorded data by Major-General Joseph Wheeler, U.S, Army under Comm. Wm. Rufus Shafter in Cuba, 'and fighting with unnamed American Soldiers. The photography makes the men's features as clear as if snapped yesterday. Any who had relatives who fought these campaigns would surely love to find familiar faces, If interested parties would send me the names, dates, rank, companies, etc. to which their family members were attached I may be able to begin a story of interest to many. Catherine Neatherry Route 2 Box 80 Lowell, Arkansas I would like to obtain copies "The Arkansas Family Historian". of the June 1962 and April 1963 issues of Anyone having spare copies please write me. Carribel Eck Carter 5905 B St. Little Rock, Arkansas HISTORY OF JOHNSVILLE, ARKANSAS (BRADLEY COUNTY) TO: Arkansas Genealogical Society A grou9 of us in this part of the state have formed our own genealogical society and have named ourselves The South Arkansas Genealogical Society. We don't have a publication. We merely pool our "dues" to buy microfilm, books, and various genealogical materials. One of our members, Mr. Otis Walker, Route 2, Camden, Arkansas, has some ancestors who were affiliated with the Palestine Methodist Church, Johnsville, which is about 20 miles south of Warren, in Bradley County. He obtained a copy of their church roll to make a copy for himself, I 'requested that he make a copy for the state publication and he obliged by giving me the attached material. In case any of our members should want to write him, the three families in his name are Hartin. Temple and l{cClain. All members of the Arkansas Genealogical Society should be on the lookout for material for our publication. If the rest of us will help you it will make your task easier and our publication more representative of the entire state, I know you want that because you have published the two items I've sent you in the past. J. Floyd Bullock 521 Chestnut St., SW Camden, Arkansas (We are indeed pleased \<lith JIll'. Otis Walker's contribution to our publication and with Mr. Bullock's interest in obtaining the material for us. We are printing on the following pages portions of a letter pertaining to early families in that area and portions of the early church records of the Johnsville Palestine Methodist Church. rM, Editor) The following letter \Jas written by the late W. T. Martin, then Counselor and Attorney-at-Lal, in Camden, Arkansas. It was printed in the Democrat News (Warren, Ark.) October 7, 1915, and reprinted in the Eagle Democrat (Ivarren) December 24, 1946. It was l<Titten to Mr. G. M. Hampton of Fordyce, Arkansas. Dear George, James Meek told me that there was going to be an old settler's meeting at Johnsville next Sunday and ,.services would be held in the Presbyterian church and asked me to tell wha t I knel, of the history of Johnsville and the people who settled in that country before the war; in fact to tell as far as I know. the country and its history. that perhaps i t may be of some interest as well as information to the younger generation. On the 20th day of September, 1856, my father, Jas. Saddler r~rtin, arrived from the State of Mississippi, crossed the Saline River at Moor's Hill, Bradley County, and passed Col. John R. Hampton's place and stopped at Henry S. Rawls, who settled on the river hills tl,O miles above Col. Hampton's. In a few days my father moved to the Boyd place, a mile from Col. Hampton's. In that early day there were quite a number of people who had recently come into the count~J. had settled in the woods and cleared land and built houses and Negro quarters. Charlie !flOore, Jas. L Robinson and Mat Stuart bought a sawmill and began operating it on eht Saline River about 1850 at the Jack Fogle place. It was a lively ,?lac3 i.n tho se days and was the only place where people could go to learn the general news of the country and congregate socially. The nearest store was at IDngvieH, then miles up the river, where Phil Derden did a general merchandise business, which was my father's trading point. Dr. Cabeen, father-in_law of CoL Hampton, lived about two miles ,lest of lon:;;view at the foot of the big hills Hest of the river. He moved there in the Thirties from near Nonroe, La. and his other son-l.n-la;{, Sam T. W. Heek, lived on the west bank of the Saline River one mile south of longvi.ew. Jno. G. Hartin, an uncle of mine, lived on the hills close to Dr. Cabeen, and old man Jim York livGd 0" the hUls about half a mile l,est of Johnsville. In the early Forties he left Alabama and s tart.ed to move to Texas and got as far as iJr. Cabeen's 101hen the Llages and ·Ouachi.ta River overflowed and he could go no further. Dr. Cabeen took him about the COll.l'ltry and showed him the land "here he settled and after1'1ards he cleared a field about half mile east of his house. Aften'ards his son-in-laH, George, lived t.here and another son-in-law 3rcmson settled about a mile southeast Hhere the first Hethodist church in that cccmtry ,,:as built. After;·rards the place vias sold to a man named Hoviss. A man r.a2ed Rix sold his place to Sam McClain, 1-1'.10 moved from MiSSissippi in 1893 and settled there, and he sold to a man named Halpoole i,n j373. John Gillis was another early settler. He came from Alabama in the Thirties and settled on the Saline River just above I,here CoL Hampton's gin-house used to stand and married one of Jack Foe;le's sisters. Hy father settled half mile northwest of Col. Hampton in 13.57. Isiah Lanzdale had settled some time in the Forties on the river hills about a mile southeast of where the Methodist Church now stands. Johnson Runnels lived on the big road three miles south of Johns·"ille. Mat Stuart lived on Improvement Creek one half mile south of Col. Hampton's. He sold thG place to Col. Hampton. I,ho afteI"l,ards gave it to Mrs. Sue NeHton, his daughter, who had married a Dr. Hiley NeVlton of Union COW1tyo Jack and Pete Fogle lind on Saline River nGar Hoar's Mi.ll, and Fog Fogle lived a mi.le Hest. He married a widou, Lacatureo Jas. I. Robinson lived on the Saline River tlW milGs south. Another one of the Fogle brothers named Bat died at Henry S. RaHls" in 13.59. Jas. I. Robinson had a brother Eli who died after the war. Dr. Miller lived at longvi81, and in after years went blind and di.ed on the Rawls place in 1867. A mm:. named HW1ni,cut had set.tled on the west side of Improvement CrGek about a mile ,,'est of Col. Hampton's. HI'S. Cook and her sons,.iD-laH, Isaiah Slator and Gru.mbles, lived on Snake Creek not far west of the river. Grumbles afterwards moved to Branchville in Dre" COC1l1ty. lock Stuart, Jas. Thompsop.., Hallace Cabeen and Dr. Brandon lived fl~rther up the Creek. Mortimer Hartin lived still further up the creek on the )lace in after years knol,m as Deab Johnson" s place. Jas. Gill lived four or five miles further north. Nelson B. York lived about a mile ;{est of his father James York. Terrell York had settled six miles west on Half ..Hay Creek. John Scarbrough lived on Dr. Jackson's place about a mile north of Johnsville. Two men named love and Boyd lived on the ri.ver hi.lls about. a mile southeast of JohnSville. The big road used to run by t.he Boyd place from Moro to Long_ vieH and ;·rent by Dr. Cabeen'so Dave Jones and Mason B. lowrey, who were bro_ thers .. in .. laH, lived abollt tom and a half miles northwest of Johnsville. Nason 3. LoHer"J lived about one mi,le north of the Smyrna Bapti.st Church. He sold his ?lace to a man named Irwin, and then settled at the edge of the bottom t ;·ro mi:i.6S southeast of Johnsville, where he lived during the "ar. A :no.n named Halls lived about a mile east of Smyrna Church. Uncle Nortimer Martin bought Heat.hin:;ton's place and ran a tan-yard there during the tolar. Stuarts. Atkins, Castlcberrys, Dubrons and Forrests li.ved tHO or three miles north on the river hills. One of \'Ialls daughters ma.'~ried a Careuff who lived i.n on the river. His place nOI, goes by the name of Carcuff's Landi,ng. 71 Dunk Pippins O1med and operated a warehouse on Saline River about four miles south of Moor's Mill where the Rock Island railroad crossed the river. He used to operate a fer~J, where my father in crossing on his ferry boat lost one of the finest horses that was ever in that country. There was a landing on Saune River close to Dr. Cabeen's house, a graveyard close by, and some old vacant houses when we came to the state. Dunk Pippin told my father that he and another raftman were camping there, and the old raftman had a pot of gold which he buried one night near that place and died a few days thereafter. He (Pippin) looked for it but never found it. This gold was buried in the Thirties. A man named Gerrells lived about two miles south of Johnsville in a big old log house that used to stand over in the field east of the road close to where After Col. Hampton put up the sawmill, Gerrells built HcKinney' 5 mill stood. the little white house on the road just south of the mill. close to the Methodist Church. Dr. Alpheus Ra~lls and Stephens Barefield afterwards lived it it. Gerrells died one night at the supper table before me moved in his ne\-I house and his ~1idoH aftenlards married a man named Jerry Radden. Uncle Joe Nartin came to this couutry \iith my father and settled about a mile north of Henry S. Ra\-Ils on the ri vcr hills. These people I-have named are about those who lived in this country in the early days "hen my father moved there from Mississippi in 1856. There were a few French living on the river do~m in the corner. They were the Acans, Pevetoes, Colers, Laeboffs and llamiltons. After 1856 people began to move in fast mostly from Mississippi and South Carolina. The Crawfords, Wilfongs, Elisons, Pagans, Cha",i)Grs, 11eeks, Garrisons, Jacksons, Saddlers, Rosses, Kings, Givens, I-lon tcomGl'Ys, Ferrells -_ ThomasGs, HcKerrs, Thompsons, Ruff, Dan and James l'~ln all C~~e from South Carolina and settled in that country a few years before the liar. Sam McClain, the Godfries, Hartins, Temples and Rawls were from Miss. In 1857 John Brady came from Warren and built a store at the cross roads of the Viero and IDngvievl road and the Ivarren and Moor's Mill road. I was at the home of Uncle Henry Rawls and heard Jno. Brady and some men of the cOll1!l1unity discussin::; ~mat they HOuld name the place and it was deci.ded to name it Johnsville for the different Johns in that community, among whom were John R. Hampton, John Cabeen, John l1artin and John Brady. The Presbyterian Church was built in 1858-59 and the Rev. Crawford was _the preacher for several years. He moved to Arkadelphi.a where he died years later. Aften-lards the Reverends Kerr, Dixon and Brown .filled the pulpit as long as I lived in that cOlmty. The present Palistine Nethodist Church was built in 1860. Before it~las built there ~ras a log church about twenty steps east. Uncle Joe Martin taught school at this church and I attended this school. Geo. M. and Edward E. Hampton, sons of Col. John R. Hampton and the Rawls boys, Randolph, Jesse and Sing, also attended this school. Uncle Joe l1artin taught in 1857, 1858 and until April, 1859, ,;hen a hurricane blel, a tree on his house, injuring him and his son John. He never recovered but moved to the Gillis place close to where Mr. Alison lived, and died in 1860. Thus passed- away one of South Carolina's best la1-1yers, vlho had figured prominently in the early history of that state. He is buried in the gra-"G yard at Palis tine Church. I have forgotten \-mO the circuit rider preachers were sent by the Methodist conference. I knolf th0re "as a preacher sent there in 1859 and 1860 named Mar_ shall, I-rna had a son Lel-1i5_ Mrs. Marshall taught school at Davis Jones'. '72 Nason 8. Lowrey was a local preachor of unLlsual ability and preached oft.an at the Palistine church. James L Robinson and Henry B. Rawls were also local 9reachers. When the church \'las buH t i t was tHO stories. The upper story \,as a Masonic Hall. For several years they held th'"ir mee tings in the old lOG church before the pres'E,nt church was built. There is an old Hasonic chest that used to sit in the middle of the old chl.lrch that ,,'as moved to the ne" hall when the church Has completed. The Baptists built a church about two miles north of Johnsville on the hill north of the spring on a branch and namGd it Smyrna. The ruling spirits in that church were Nelson B. York, Sam I'leek and Irwin. Their preachers were Rev. Duboise, Rasberry and Denson. These three churches had about the same number of members who attended regularly, and all three Here in a flourishing condition. The people of that county in 1859 built an Academy on the Sol Bronson place two miles southwest of Johnsville and establi,shed one of the best schools in the state. They em9loyed a man named HOGue <lho had been teaching for a number of years at Nt. Holly in Union COllnty, He was a Presbyteri,an preacher and a Southern man. His wife was from IOHa. He was one of the best educators in this part of the country, He I~as not long in building up as fine a school as there was in the state. I went to him four years and his mQral and intellectual training has lasted me through life. When the call for volunteers came in 136'1 sixteen of the larger boys joined the army. Among them were J. E. Hampton, Mack Pagan, George Hogue, Jim Stuart, Sidney Walls, Jim York, Bob Ramsour, Sam Godfrey and Bom Chambers. Most all of the young men in that country joined too, a"d they organized the old Gee shop that stood not far from where T. B. CraiG'S store nOI~ stands. If my memory serves me ri.ght they elected Buck l1cKinney' captain and Dr. Ross li.eutenant. After they had their brown geans uniforms rr,ade, Hhi.oh consi.sted of round-about coats and trousers with red stripes dOlm the legs, they marched to the Presbyterian church to have services and bid their friends "goodbye" before thEIr left Johnsville. We younger boys yearned to go. vie went back to school :)ut the Hfe was g:m€. There ,.as a shadow of sadness over the patrons of the school as Hell as on the bro'. of the Hogues, for their boy, George, had u;,one with the other boys. Every m::>rning Nr. Hogue opened school \,ith prayer asking the good lord to guard and protect the boys at the front. Every nOI; and then r,eHS came that some of the boys were dead or wounded. How well I reme",ber the day' "hen the sad neHS ca;ne to Hr. and Mrs. Hogue that their boy George "as dead. I,men the conflict Closed only a few of that noble band of young lIi'oO returned to their desolated homes. After the war most of the peo:ole moved to Texas, Hhile s,:"ne w:Jved to other oarts of Arkansas. Now there are not many of the old time~5 there; Nack Pagan, L. E. York and Billy Martln are about the only ones left.. A great many of the old ti;ners have died and are buried in ~he three "raveyards there.. There Here only two graves at the Palestinll church \"hen \'16 mowed there, and none at the Baptist and Presbyterian, One of the braves ",as a man nam8d Boyd and the other Has a man who died at Lock 3tuart's place in 1352, I will quit. I could write a book detailing what I knc''N of that COLmtry and its peoole, so I will close and subscribe myself as one of the old settlers and your life long friend. \~ • T.
