Notes for WILLIAM SHEPHERD: Notes from the Fayetteville, Washington County, ARkansas Library about the Rev. William Shepherd follows: Although the Shepherd Springs had become an enclave of the Johnny Reb, not all the settlers shared the southern sentiment. Large numbers of men deserted from the southern army and became loyal union men, known as "Mountain Feds" (Goodspeed 468). Among the men who had deserted Captain Wright's company were two of his first cousins, Thomas and Silas Shepherd, sons of Rev. William Shepherd. Also deserting were three sons-in-law of William Shepherd -- Joseph Lawrence, William Lale, and James Mullen -- all of who later joined Union regiments. While John Shepherd and Isham Wright's families in the valley maintained southern sympathies, on the mountain - top, Rev. William Sheperd upheld the Union cause. It was truly a war that pitted brothers against brother. William's family suffered greatly during the War years, Fearing for the safety of his eldest daughter, who had married Henderson Clark RarIkin, he sent here with his sons Tom and Silas to Clarksville. Henderson Rankin had first fought as a Confederate at Pea Ridge, but later served in Company L, 2nd Regiment Arkansas Union Cavalry. While at Clarksville, Elizabeth's two small daughters died of fever. Fearing occupation by General Steele's Confederate troops, the fleeing Mountain Feds left Clarksville in the winter of 1864. At Alma Elizabeth died in childbirth, and was buried on the banks of Frog Bayou (Kellie 1886). Further tragedy soon followed. Thomas and Silas Shepherd had enlisted in September of 1864 in Captain Bracken Lewis Militia Company. (The pension application of Thomas Shepherd give further details of service.) Their brother-in-law, Joseph Lawrence, had also enlisted in the Union Army. The family was plagued by bushwhackers who roamed the countryside. These lawless bandits would ride into ripe com fields with destruction as their only objective; dishes were broken, and food was often wasted. On on occasion a group of outlaws rode up and made each of the children taste a can of lard. After all had tasted, the bushwhackers threw the remaining food in different places in the yard (Drummond 1984). Gold rings were hidden in the fireplaces or behind pegs, but sometimes these were found. Family would sometimes take and bury it ot prevent thefts Shepherd and her daughters sewn into the hems to elude bushwhackers when searched. Matilda Shepherd Lawrence was beaten by bushwhackers once for hiding salt in this way. The fingertips of gloves were filled with salt or sugar in an effort to conceal the supplies. The bushwhackers would often raid the families for gold, torturing even children for any information ofhidden monies. On one such occasion, the outlaws hung William's youngest sons, Press and Uriah by their feet from a tree behind the smokehouse. Their sister Nancy became worried about the continued absence of the young bossy, and she and her mother began searching. They arrived just in time, as their faces and limbs had become blue; the women cut them down and revived Press and Uriah. It was, however, in January of 1865 that the greatest loss came to the Shepard family. Several sons-in-law, Henderson RarIkin, Barnett Conley, and James Mullen, were away fighting in the Union Army, but Joe Lawrence, and Thomas and Silas Shepherd were home on leave from the Union Army. Tom and Silas were hiding in a "bluff cave" about three· fourths of a mile from the house, for fear of bushwhackers who had toured the area earlier. As the evening darkness fell, Rev. Shepherd took food and bedding to his two sons. As he stepped from the last stone of the natural stone stairs down to the floor of the bluff, a shot rang out from across the hollow. Rev. William Shepherd lay in a pool of his own blood, a bullet in his back, shot by bushwhackers who mistook him for his son, Tom. As William's grand-daughter, Edna Shepherd, remembered the tale (told to her by William's daughter Nancy Parker): Grandpa Shepherd was only a few yards away from the bluff cave where Uncle Tom and Uncle Sile were hiding. They softly called out, "0 Pap, are you hurt?" and he groaned, "I'm afraid badly." He didn't want to put them in danger, so he stayed there in his own blood. 2
As the evening darkened, the boys were tense and listened to the noises of the bushwhackers, and the sounds of their father's troubled breathing until soon they heard only the stillness of death. Eventually the four bushwhackers left, and the boys and their mother and sisters, Matilda Lawrence, Susannah Lale, Mary Mullen and Nancy Shepherd (Parker) took two saplings and a homespun sheet to make a stretcher to bring the lifeless body of Bill Shepherd to the mountain-top. Under the cold blackness of night, in a driving rain and sleet stonn, a grave was dug in a thick grove of oak timber near the home. William Shepherd's body was placed in a hollow log, a make-shift coffin which was fmished out with a foot adz. By dawn, Sarah Shepherd and her daughters returned to the house, grief-stricken, cold, wet, exhausted. Tom, Silas, and Joe Lawrence detennined to "bushwhack" it out until the murder was avenged. Three ofthe four were caught and scalped by Tom, Silas, and Joe (Drummond 1984). The identity of the fourth man was known by the sound of his horse's loose shoe, which the men had previously heard. In later years, Silas had the opportunity to kill the fourth man, but decided against vengeance toward his father's murderer (Shepherd 1987). A few days later, Susannah Lale, already weak from being with child, died from pneumonia from the cold she contracted the night of her fathers death. Within the week Susannah's body lay beside her father's. She left two small daughters, and a husband sway fighting in the Union Anny.

Notes for THOMAS JEFFERSON RANKIN:
THOMAS JEFFERSON RANKIN
HIS LIFE HISTORY AND CIVIL WAR MEMORIES
BY MRS. W.R. RASTALL - Chester, Crawford County, ARKANSAS
Thomas Jefferson Rankin was born on the farm joining ours to the west on January 15, 1856. The farm was
owned by his grandfather, Thomas Shepherd.
I have no record of any land transaction at this early date. The first transaction record in the abstract is the one to
R.F. Sims on November 30, 1881, by the Little Rock and Fort Smith R.R. Co. Sims sold the place to Ensminger
in 1885. He sold to W.B. Jones. He sold to John T. Sharrai and wife, Harriet A. It is now called the Sharrai place.
It is the NE one-fourth and NW one-fourth (80A) T. 12-S, -33-R. 30W. So this land has been occupied and
farmed for wen over a century.
TJ. Rank died at Chester in 1949. He was then our oldest citizen, and known to all as Uncle Tom. He was 93
years old.
His daughter, Grace May Valliquette, who was living with her son, John, (who married Jennie Fricks) has the
very old family Bible. It is not known who has the family copy ofNORTHWEST HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.
While I visited Grace May Rankin (Valliquette), I copied the following from the old Bible to use in this article.
The writing was so neat but dim with age.
Henderson Clark Rankin was born April 1st, 1822 in Murry County, TN. His wife, Elizabeth Shepherd was born
1826. They married in 1855. Their first child, Thomas Jefferson Rankin, was born January 15, 1856; 2-J.N.
Rankin born Aprill861; 3-Eliza Rankin born April 10, 1863; 4-William E. born October 23, 1867; 5-Ezra E.
Rankin born July 6, 1868; 6-Robert, born April 9, 1870 (Rankin); 7-Emma Rankin, born April 17, 1872.
Marriage certificates of Thomas Jefferson Rankin, born January 15, 1856, in Crawford County, Arkansas and
Martha Ellen Strong, born June 6, 1856, in Mercer County, MO on February 17, 1876, at 2:00 P.M., by Rev.
Henry Harvey.
Their children are: I-Carl R. Rankin, born February 9, 1877, married Miss Huckleberry, February 14, 1899; 2
George Kingston, born November 22, 1879, married Mary Simpson, May 24,1900. (note: They celebrated their
60th wedding anniversary this year with many relatives and friends. He died September 3, 1960.) 3-Grace May,
born July 9, 1882, married Joseph Valliquette, August 14, 1904; 4-Laura, born May 24, 1884, married Robert L.
Duggin, June 1, 1902; 5-William Ernest, born August 24, 1886, married Daisy Collins' of Crawford County; 6
Sarah Ellen, born September 26, 1888, married Bert Friddle, Aprill, 1908 in Crawford County; 7-Luther Francis,
born March 5,1891, married Kate Wilson, 1919; 8-Wa1ter Scott, born January 29, 1893, married Linnie Wilson,
and later a widow, Elsa Carrol, who is the mother of his daughter, Juanita (London).
Grandchildren listed is this Bible is: Vema Rankin (Carl's daughter) born January 1, 1900; Goldie Duggin, born
June 3, 1903 (Laura's daughter); Ward Rankin, born July 26, 1908; Harshe1 Rankin, born April 21, 1904
(George's son): Lester Duggin born November 17, 1904 (Laura's son); John Valliquette, born June 2, 1905
(Grace's son); Lucy Rankin, born June 30, 1905 (George's daughter).
Thomas Jefferson Rankin was past five years old and likely playing in a spring branch which still runs past this
old home of well over a century when hostilities started with the firing on Fort Sumpter on April 12, 1861, when
Major Anderson was forced to surrender. Charleston Harbor is a long way from Arkansas but the war caused
much suffering here when at last it was brought to Crawford County. Many have read of this so I will record only
the incidents as told by "Uncle Tom" and his children. I am acquainted with all the family as most of them have
lived here a part of their lives. Carl has been dear for some years. He remembered more than the others as he was
elder.
Uncle Tom remembered when his father, Henderson C., jointed the Confederate forces, and that he fought under
Gen. Price at the Battle of Pea Ridge and had been a scout for Gen. Price as he knew the mountains so well in the
area. He was taken a prisoner at the Battle of Pea Ridge in December 1862. He had been a Union sympathizer in
13
some of the war issues. There were no Negro farm workers in the mountains. Nearly all the farmers did their own
work and wished to see Arkansas stay in the Union. Compelled by relentless conscription laws, those of opposite
sentiments often fought side by side, under the same flag. The next year after his capture, Henderson C. joined the
Union army. I have his records from the Arkansas History Commission, Department of Achievers and History.
The record follows: UNION SOLDIERS WHO ENLISTED IN ARKANSAS - #55620-Henderson C. Rankin.
Enlisted October 10, 1863. Appointed Corporal January 26, 1864. Mustered out with Regiment of Arkansas
Cavalry Volunteers, August 20, 1865. Served under Col. John E. Phelps in 2nd Regiment of Arkansas Calvary
Volunteers.
Henderson C. Rankin's family, along with many Crawford County people, suffered much from the fortunes of
war. Marauders, stragglers, bands know as bushwhackers and home guards all robbed and pillaged, it seems. Mr.
Thomas Shepherd decided to send his daughter, and her children, with two of his sons Tom and Silas, with a
group of mountain people who were going to Clarksville at that time for safety. Henderson's wife was expecting
another child at the time. While they were at Clarksville, their tow little girls died of a malady contracted there
and were buried near Clarksville. Later, these people feared that Gen. Steel would occupy the tow, so decided to
return to the mountains. They loaded what feed and supplies they could hastily get together, into oxen drawn
wagons, and burned the rest of preventing the army from taking it. Calvary believes that group of Union soldiers
rode along with them as far as Alma, Arkansas.
There, Elizabeth died, but her baby lived and was cared for by relative and friends, Elizabeth was buried about a
half mile from alma on the bank of a creek. Thomas Jefferson Rankin was then past seven. He remembered it
well, and also, the death of his little sisters. It was a very and time for a small boy. He had no knowledge of his
father's whereabouts and never saw him until three years later, when he returned from Memphis where he was
mustered out.
At this sad time, a kind friends form Mountainburg, met the wagon train with feed and extra wagons. They helped
them to go to what was then called Singleton, now Shepherd Springs. They lived there until the father returned
from the war in 1866. After that he moved the family back to the farm west of ours. He received a pension for his
services in the Union Army till he died at the home of his son, Thomas Jefferson Rankin, on a farm east of
Chester on what is now Highway 71. He received, while in Union forces, a battle wound, in his side which was a
hindrance to him as long as he lived. He, after being mustered out, later married Mrs. Peters, whose maiden name
was Wright. She was the mother of the children born after the war.
During the war, Thomas Shepherd has much trouble from the bands of marauding bushwhackers. They repeatedly
plundered and robbed his place offood and horse feed. He had stored what food he could be in what is known as
"The Blowout." When he heard their horses coming, he would go to the "Blowout," a sort of cave in the woods
above the house and bam. No on would ever suspect it was there until within a few feet of it. A spring runs from it
and flows on past the home and into the creek to the north of it. There are many fme springs on the place yet. I
have been told that on one occasion when the robbers came, Mr. Shepherd accounted for four of them with his
rifle. In the night, their companions returned to bury them in a corner of the place. I cannot verifY this story, told
to me by relative, but there was a large mound of earth, not top soil, there, when we bought our place and there
were still traces of it until a road dozer leveled it a few years ago.
Thomas Jefferson Rankin married Martha Ellen Strong, when he was 21 years of age. They lived in Porter
Township, near the Washington County line, for a number ofyears. Carl Benjamin, the eldest son, was born there
and attended school at the Sassafras Pond school. There is still a building at the same site of this school.
From there, they moved south to a place north of Chester, which has been occupied by some one ofthe family for
many years. They homesteaded this place and Thomas Jefferson Rankin worked for the Frisco R.R. Co. helping
lay track. Jim and Sam Strong lived with them and also worked on the Frisco R.R. They were Martha Ellen's
brothers. They took smallpox from some Negro workmen who were brought into the area. Many of these men
died and were buried near the track. These people, named Strong, came from Mercer County, MO. I have heard a
sister of Martha Ellen tell that they drove here in covered wagons in the winter. When they reached the Missouri
River, they camped on its bank to wait for it to freeze so they could get their wagons over. Other people bound for
the south, camped there too. She got acquainted with a future husband there, and later after they reached
Arkansas, they were married.
This home is near what was then called Frisco, later called Porter, and now called Schaberg. Uncle Tom said the
tunnel was made after the railroad was laid to Winslow and that the first trains went over the tunnel. The tunnel
14
was finished in 1882.
He moved his family from there to Alma where they lived for two years. They then bought the place of his
brother, William west of Chester, where his son, William, now lives. He was still living there when his father died
in 1915. He put out orchards and much fruit was harvested from them for many years. He helped to get clay out of
the kiln south of Chester Schoolhouse. It was used for the bricks in the old brick building in Chester, and some
houses.
From the farm east of Chester, they moved of their home in Chester where they lived until they died. This home
has been remolded by a grandson, John Villiquette, and he lives there with his family. There are four of the
children of Thomas Jefferson Rankin now living here: Grace, William, Walter and Sarah. I am acquainted with all
of them and Sarah has been a friend for years. Uncle Tom was our neighbor for 25 years. He was always kind,
thoughtful and interesting. Both he and his wife, Martha Ellen, were good neighbors.
Representative James W. Trimble secured this Civil War record for me. I appreciate it very much as it adds much
to the interest ofthe article and should be prized by the many descendants of Henderson Clark Rankin: Solider's
Certificate, No 546687 (Archives), Rank: Corporal, Service, : Co. L, 2 Ark. Vol. Cav. Document in file

November or December 1864, became disabled by shell exploding about forty yards in front of the company.
Rankin reported that a piece ofthat shell struck him on the side. An affidavit in file making such statements was

statements declared that he was treated by doctors, Maynard and Hacket, while he was in the service. This
statement was signed by (Rankin's mark) and witnessed by J.W. Baldwin and J.M. Granger.
A statement made by H.C. Rankin shows his wife's name was, in 1898, Elizabeth Wright. (She was his second
wife). They were married October 15, 1867, by George Peters, a Justice of the Peace. Elizabeth Shepherd, his
first wife, died in the winter of 1863 or 1864 while he was in the Union service. This document lists some of the
children of Henderson Clark. Thomas Jefferson as the first born and Mary Emma was born after the war on
August 17, 1872.
A statement ofH.C. Rankin States that he served in Wallace's company, Brook's Battalion, C.S.A. Cavalry,
afterward consolidated with King and Wallace, known as 19th and 34 Co. Infantry. He was called for Battle of
Elkhorn, went to camp and was sent home to get more guns. When he returned, the battle was over. The camp
was on Lee Creek. At Elkhorn Battlefield, he and others were disbanded. He was told that his corn and stock
would be destroyed, so he joined some guards at a picket post above Chester. That was Eli Jones, Co. John
Hatfield was Lieut. of Brook's Regiment. He made three scout trips with them in the fall of 1862, left there and
went to Newton County to make a crop in 1863, that fall joined the Federal forces.
A document in the file singed by H.c. Rankin's mark. Dated June 19, 1897, states: "I served first in emergency
HG under Captain Wallace about five days, 2nd Lt. Jones, Brook's Bn. Crawford Co. HGGSA from August 1862,
till some time in winter. I had no other Confederate service."
A document in the file in National Archives connected with application for pension lists H.C. Rankin as born
April 1, 1822, in Murry County, Tennessee, light complexion, dark hair, blue eyes.
File indicated that he was denied the pension because of his Confederate service but later was reinstated on
Pension roll. The file indicates that he first received $12.00 per month and this was raised to $20.00 in 1907, and
1912 to $27.00 per month.
A document in file listing service ofH.C. Rankin states that he was a private in Co. L, 2nd Regiment Arkansas
15
Cavalry Volunteers, was enrolled on the lOth day October 1862, at VanBuren for three years and was mustered into service January 26th, 1864, at Springfield, MO. He reported on rally for January and February 1864, absented on detached service since August 28th, 1864, same file to June 30, 1864, and July and August 1864. Was present September and October 1864 and to June 30, 1865? Was mustered out with his Company at Memphis, August 30, 1865, a Corporal? A document on file indicates that Henderson Clark Rankin was pensioned for deafness, and in his later years, was in wretched health. All through his file, connected with latter years of his life, statements, made in his behalf, indicate that he was poor physical condition. For the sake of the family record, I add that the only other Rankin I have on record at that early date was a Sabra Rankin, who married Edward Lee, who was born in S.c. in 1822. Edward Lee and Sebra Rankin were married in 1843. They moved to Chester November 26th, 1858. Edward lee was a son of Henry Lee, who married Lucy Furlow. This Henry Lee is likely related to Gen. Robert E. Lee, as indicated by an old newspaper report of the funeral of President George Washington. Edward Lee and Sabra Rankin has many descendants in this area. It is generally known that Gen. Robert E. Lee married a granddaughter ofthe wife ofGen George Washington. Among the decedents of Edward lee and Sabra Rankin is a daughter, Francis Lee, who married James Osborn. Their daughter, Myrtle, married Nelson B. Harrison. They live at Chester. They had the children. They are: Vesta, Edyth, Roy, Verle, Kimbrel, Randall, Virginia, James, Inez and Anne Mae. One died in infancy. On the daughter of Edward and Sabra Lee, married Frank Sims. Her name was Ernaline Lee. They had a large family who is well known in Crawford County.

Notes for DONALD HENRY DONNIE LEACH:
Donald Henry ?Donnie? Leach
60, was born December 8, 1946 at Herlong, California to Leroy Toy and Helen Marie Rankin Leach. He was the
51
grandson of Henry Ward and Beatrice M. Reed Rankin, and Forrest Leach and Maira Neal McDonald Leach.
He and Ann Rosa Dahmus were married on April 30, 1966 at Kansas City, Missouri. They were the parents of
three sons, Mark Leach, Dean Laurence Leach and Jack Leroy Leach.
He is survived by his wife Ann, three sons, four grandchildren, Dakota, Tylan Leach, Michael and Amber Leach.
Also, surviving is his mother Helen Marie Cahill of Winslow, Arkansas and a sister Karen Marie Leach Smith of
Kansas City, Missouri and Bella Vista. A half-sister Shirley Leach Majors of Oklahoma. Two aunts? Betty
Rankin Stephens McGuire, Billie Sue Rankin Hughes and an uncle Henry Allen Rankin.
Preceding his death was his grandparents, his father, Leroy, one uncle Jerry Donald Leach, a half sister Jackie
Leach and a cousin, Gary Wayne Stephens.
Donnie was a pioneer. He could make or rebuild any object he came in contact with. He was a builder, mechanic,
plumber, Gardner and teller of many truthful stories that never varied in him telling.
While digging potatoes this year, he found a nest with a baby bird in it. He quit digging until he the bird was old
enough to fly before he fmished digging them. He was never idle. He was always finding some kind of work to
do. He and Ann built their home and all buildings on heir place. He practically remade my house after I moved in
1988.
I feel so blessed to have had him for my son. He never hesitated to come to my assistance any time I ever needed
his help.
He is missed by all who loved him. He had many friends.
Sincerely,
Marie Cahill
Thanatopsis
by William Cullen Bryant
To him who in the love of nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty; and she glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy that steals away
Their sharpness ere he is aware. When thoughts
Of the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
Of the stem agony, and shroud, and pall,
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;-
Go forth, under the open sky, and list
To Nature's teachings, while from all around-
Earth and her waters, and the depths of air-
Comes a still voice. Yet a few days, and thee
The all-beholding sun shall see no more
In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground,
Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears,
Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist
Thy image. Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim
Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again,
And, lost each human trace, surrendering up
52
Thine individual being, shalt thou go
To mix forever with the elements,
To be a brother to the insensible rock
And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain
Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak
Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mold.
Yet not to thine eternal resting-place
Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish
Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down
With patriarchs of the infant world -- with kings,
The powerful of the earth -- the wise, the good,
Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,
All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills
Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun, -- the vales
Stretching in pensive quietness between;
The venerable woods -- rivers that move
In majesty, and the complaining brooks
That make the meadows green; and, poured round all,
Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste,-
Are but the solemn decorations all
Of the great tomb of man. The golden sun,
The planets, all the infinite host of heaven,
Are shining on the sad abodes of death
Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread
The globe are but a handful to the tribes
That slumber in its bosom. -- Take the wings
Of morning, pierce the Barcan wilderness,
Or lose thyself in the continuous woods
Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound,
Save his own dashings -- yet the dead are there:
And millions in those solitudes, since first
The flight of years began, have laid them down
In their last sleep -- the dead reign there alone.
So shalt thou rest -- and what if thou withdraw
In silence from the living, and no friend
Take note of thy departure? All that breathe
Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh
When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care
Plod on, and each one as before will chase
His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave
Their mirth and their employments, and shall come
And make their bed with thee. As the long train
Ofages glides away, the sons ofmen-
The youth in life's fresh spring, and he who goes
In the full strength of years, matron and maid,
The speechless babe, and the gray-headed man-
Shall one by one be gathered to thy side,
By those, who in their tum, shall follow them.
So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, which moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
