JEFFERSON COUNTY.

ers of Jefferson County, was born on the banks of the Arkansas River, abont six miles from Pine Bluff, on August 18, 1852, and is a son of Robert Woods and Eulalie (Taylor) Walker. The father was a native of Virginia, but reared near Nash- ville, Tenn., and moved to Arkansas in 1836. He was born in the year 1810. The mother was born in Jefferson County, Ark., on March 3, 1825, and has resided in Arkansas all her life. The father was a very prominent citizen and large land owner in this county, possessing about 2,000 acres in the river bottom. He was deputy clerk for five years, and for an additional five years was clerk. He was a Mason of high standing, and had taken a number of the higher degrees. In politics he was a Democrat, and one of the leaders of that party in his county. When the elder Walker first came to Pine Bluff it was but a village. Since that time it has grown up into a large and prosperous city, owing to the efforts of enterprising citizens, of whom Mr. Walker was one of the foremost. Seven children were born to the parents, of whom six are yet living: Creed T. (a cashier of the Bank of Little Rock), Maggie (wife of Capt. B. E. Ben- ton, the popular agent of the Cotton-Seed Oil Mills at Little Rock), John M. (a farmer on the old homestead), J. W. (the principal of this sketch), Agnes (wife of Orlando Haliburton, a well-known commercial traveler for Meyer Bros., St. Louis, Mo.), and Robert W. (a prosperous grain and feed dealer at Little Rock). The one deceased is James N., who died in his twenty-first year. Jo W. Walker was educated at St. Vincent College, Cape Girardeau, Mo., and upon reaching his maturity, left that institution to manage his mother's plan- tation. Since then he has given his entire atten- tion to planting, and has become one of the most successful in the county. On October 16, 1878, he was married to Miss Beulah Burton, a daugh- ter of Robert Burton, of Jefferson County. This marriage gave them one daughter, Mary V. Mr. and Mrs. Walker are both members of the Catholic Church, and the former belongs to the Catholic Knights of America. In politics he is a stanch Democrat. Mr. Walker's mother was born March 3, 1825, and married January 27, 1842. She

was a great-granddaughter of Don Joseph Vallier, who was at one time governor-general of the Ter- ritory of Louisiana under the Spanish Govern- ment. Her father, Col. Creed Taylor, was one of the most prominent men in public life during the early history of Arkansas as a Territory and State. He was born in Mercer County, Ky., on Janu- ary 1, 1800, and moved to Arkansas in 1817, lo- cating at what is now Lewisburg. One year later he returned to Kentucky, but again moved to Ar- kansas and settled at Pine Bluff, and in October, 1822, performed the feat of swimming the Arkan- sas River. He was sheriff of Jefferson County at one time, and when the Indians were moved to the Indian Territory he was appointed a colonel. In politics he was a stanch Democrat, and in religious faith a Catholic. He died in Jefferson County, January 8. 1887.

John A. Wallis. Among the most pleasing features of Jefferson County is its number of pro- gressive men. Mr. Wallis is one of the leading citizens of this section, and was born in Morgan County, Ala., on October 25, 1832, being a son of James and Ann (Crockett) Wallis, native's of Mecklenburg District, North Carolina, and Lan- caster District, South Carolina. respectively. The parents were married in South Carolina, and made that State their home for a number of years, after- ward residing in Mississippi and Louisiana until 1861, when they moved to Arkansas and located in Chicot County, where the mother died the follow- ing year, at the age of seventy-two years. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and a daughter of Elijah Crockett, a cousin of the cele- brated Davy Crockett. Her union with Mr. James Wallis resulted in the birth of eight children, of whom John A. is now the only living representa- tive. The elder Wallis was a very successful planter during his life, and before the war was a Whig in politics, but after that event he voted the Democratic ticket until his death. John A. Wallis was reared and educated in the States of Alabama and Mississippi. His inclinations seemed to follow commercial life more than any other occupation, and at the age of eighteen years he left home to enter business. In 1856 he came to Arkansas and

located in Chicot County, and was engaged as salesman in one of the business houses at that point until 1858. He then returned home and went into the wood business at Georgetown Bend, which he followed with success until the war com- menced, and his wood was burned by the Federal boats. After this experience he came back to Chi- cot County, Ark., and began farming, continu- ing until after the war, when he returned to Mis- sissippi. In 1869 he moved to Jefferson County, Ark., and has been farming ever since, with the exception of the years 1870 and 1871, when he entered into business at Pine Bluff, and again in 1878, when he moved to his present location aud commenced merchandising. Mr. Wallis also oper- ates a steam cotton-gin and grist-mill, and is the owner of about 650 acres of land, with some 500 acres under cultivation. His business ability and his shrewdness in financial transactions and indus- try have placed him on an independent basis, though having started from almost nothing.

R. J. Watkins, farmer at Wabbaseka, Ark., is one of the representative and progressive agri- culturists of Jefferson County, and is also one of its most esteemed citizens. He was born in Madison County, Ala., being the son of William Watkins, a native of Georgia, born in 1798, who received his education in his native State, and sub- sequently moved to Alabama, where he married Miss Harriet Anderson, a native of Washington County, Md. The result of this marriage was the birth of seven children, two sons and five daughters, of whom but three are now living, one residing in Alabama, one in Nashville, Tenn., and the subject of this sketch, who has made his home in Arkansas for many years. William Watkins had always been a planter. He died in Hunts- ville, Ala., in 1861, and his wife in 1856; both were worthy members of the Methodist Church. R. J. Watkins received a fair education in Hunts- ville, Ala., and on the 11th of 'October. 1866, he was united in marriage to Miss Martha East, a native of Alabama, and the daughter of Alexander and Martha J. East. Four children have been born to this union, only two now living, and both resid- ing at home. Mr. Watkins has held the office of

justice of the peace for fourteen years, and was a school director for a period of some ten years. He served in the late war, entering the army, in 1861, under Capt. Coltart, commanding the Madi- son Rifles, C. S. A., and his first hard fight was at Baton Rouge, La. He was discharged in May, 1865. Perhaps on account of his early training on the farm, Mr. Watkins has always followed tilling the soil, and that he has made a success of this pursuit is evident when looking over his well- kept place. He lost his estimable wife, Septem- ber 15, 1877. She was a member of the Episcopal Church. In 1881 he married Miss Mary Patrick, who died in September, 1882, having a child whichi survived its mother only a few days.

John Weedon, a leader in agricultural circles, and a popular citizen of Jefferson County, was born in Columbus, Miss., May 18, 1847, and is a son of John and T. C. (Henry) Weedon, of North Carolina and Virginia, respectively. The father was born in 1812, and the mother in 1816, their marriage occurring in Columbus, Miss., which place they made their home for about thirty years, and then moved to Selma, Ala., where they resided until the father's death in 1872, while returning from New Orleans. The elder Weedon was a well-known and very wealthy iron manufact- urer, and at one time virtually owned the town of Anniston, Ala., where his factories were located. He was a Democrat in politics, and a valuable man to that party during his life. He belonged to the Masons, and had taken several high degrees. During the war his losses footed up into many thousands of dollars, as he had a firm belief in the success of the Southern States, and had invested largely in Confederate bonds and securi- ties of a like nature that proved to be valueless after the Rebellion was over. The parents were members of the Presbyterian Church, and the mother, who is still living, resides in Selma, Ala. The Weedon family are of Scotch descent, and on the mother's side of Scotch-Irish, the latter being descended from the same family as that of Patrick Henry, the famous American patriot. Nine chil- dren were born to Mr. and Mrs. Weedon, of whom two are still living, John Weedon, Jr., the princi-

pal of this sketch, and Mrs. G. A. Robinson, of Florence, Ala. Young John was educated at Davidson College, in North Carolina, and was yet attending school in April, 1863, when his youth- ful ardor was fired by the tales of Southern gal- lantry on the battle-field, and he cast aside his books to shoulder a musket and keep step in the ranks of the Confederate army. He joined Com- pany H, of the Thirty first Alabama Cavalry, and took part in a great many engagements, never faltering even when near the cannon's mouth, nor allowing his enthusiasm for the cause he undertook to be dampened by the heaviest shower of leaden hail. After the war he turned his attention to mercantile life at Selma, Ala., and continued in that branch until 1871, when he moved to Arkan- sas and located in Lonoke County, where he com- menced farming, and has met with the best suc- cess, owning about 1, 100 acres of the best land to be found in the State. February 27, 1871, he was married to Miss Virginia A. Pettus, a daughter of John J. Pettus, ex Governor of Mississippi, by whom he has had two children, John P. and Car- rie who are yet living, and three who have died: William A., Alice M. and an infant daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Weedon are members of the Presby- terian Church, and take a deep interest in religious and educational affairs. In politics the former is a Democrat. He is one of the most popular men in the community as well as one of the most enter- prising. On his arrival in Arkansas he was com- paratively poor, but seeing the productiveness of the country, and knowing what his abilities were capable of developing, he remained.

Rev. Daniel Westall, grocer and dealer in hay, corn, oats, etc., Pine Bluff, Ark., is well known to the many readers of this volume. He owes his nativity to Vanderburgh County, Ind., where his birth occurred December 31, 1840. His father, James Westall, was a native of England, who emigrated to America and settled in Indiana at an early date. He was there married to Miss Kesiah Barker, a native of North Carolina, and this happy union lasted until 1848, when Mr. Westall closed his eyes to the scenes of this world. His widow married again, and died about 1853. Rev. Daniel

Westall remained in his native State until nine- teen years of age, and in 1861 enlisted as a pri- vate in the First Indiana Cavalry, serving for over three years, or until the end of his term, He was in a number of noteworthy engagements, principally those of Fredericktown, Helena, Little Rock, Pine Bluff, and a great many skirmishes. He received hris discharge at Indianapolis in 1864, and after- ward returned to his home, where he remained but a short time, when he removed to Illinois and located in Wabash County. There he followed farming until 1870, when in August of that year he moved to Arkansas, and settled at Pine Bluff, then a small village of about 300 inhabitants. Here he engaged in the grocery business on a small scale, and on the same place where his present large brick store building now stands. He enjoys a large trade, and is one of the substantial business men of Pine Bluff. On the property adjoining his store he has built a good residence, and is also the owner of about fifteen tenement houses, the returns of which form a comfortable income. Mr. Westall was married in Pine Bluff, Ark. in 1863, to Miss Mary E. Edwards, originally from Georgia. Her father settled in Arkansas in 1861. To Mr. and Mrs. Westall have been born eight children: Sarah, Anna (wife of Alonzo McDonald), William, David, Millie F., Mary E., Joseph and Benjamin. Mr. Westall has been a member of the Primitive Baptist Church for twenty years, in which he is also an elder. He was ordained a minister about 1874 and now has charge of three churches.

Col. McH. Williams, a prominent planter and one of the men who have done much toward ad- vancing the interests of Jefferson County, was born in Nashville, Tenn., on August 28, 1831, and is a son of Wiloughby and Nancy D. (Nichols) Williams, natives of Davidson County, Tenn. In early days the father was a merchant, and as an example of the primitive state of affairs at that period, he was the only business man who could boast of an entire hogshead of sugar in that sec- tion, his trade allowing him to keep a larger stock than his competitors. He was noted as an influen- tial politician during his life, but would never accept any public office except that of sheriff,

224

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

which position he filled for several years. During the earlier years of his life he was a colonel of State militia, and at one time president of the State Bank. In 1846 he purchased large land in- terests in the State of Arkansas and commenced farming on an extensive scale, and was also a large slave owner before the war. On that occasion he removed with all his slaves to Texas, and after the war was over he brought them back, giving them the liberty of his plantation and acting in a noble manner. When he first started in life his financial condition was somewhat at a low ebb, but his won- derful ability and business tact placed him among the foremost men of the day. Before the war he went on the security of other people to the extent of $125,000, and as is usual in such cases, was never repaid, but in a magnanimous spirit he turned aside the question of their ungratefulness and never once protested against such contemptible conduct. He was a son of Wiloughby Williams, a , native of Virginia, who was a commissioned officer in the American army during the Revolution. This famous general, Andrew Jackson, and the junior Wiloughby were warm personal friends and Jackson was his ideal of a man, and it was to him that Mr. Williams owed a great deal of his success. Col. McH. Williams' father died in 1882 at the age of eighty-six years, and the mother's death occurred July 4, 1844, at the age of thirty-six years. The Williams family originally came from England and settled in Virginia a number of years before the Revolution, while the Nichols family were natives of Tennessee. Capt. John Nichols, the father of young Williams' mother, was a gal- lant soldier in the War of 1812, and later in life a prosperous farmer in his native State and a de- voted member of the Presbyterian Church. Col. Williams' father was an aid to Gen. Dowdson during the Civil. War, and was with Gen. Lee at Cheat Mountain during the same period. After the war he turned over his agricultural interests to his son Mack, who has conducted them in an enterprising manner ever since. The father died in Louisville, Ky., and the mother in Nashville, Tenn., and of eight children born to them, two are also dead. Those living are John H. (a farmer

near Nashville, Tenn.), Mary J. (widow of R. C. McNary, who was during his life a wealthy mer- chant of Nashville), Mack H. (principal in this sketch), Wiloughby (a prominent attorney and planter in Jefferson County, residing at Pine Bluff), Mrs. Ellen W. Lewis, (wife of Marion W. Lewis, a well known financier of Louisville, Ky.), Nannie W. (wife of Col. C. A. Nichols, of Pine Bluff). Those deceased are Dr. R. N. Williams (who was during his life an eminent physician), and Andrew J. (a commissioned officer under Gen. Forrest, and killed in battle near Franklin, Tenn.) Mack H. Williams was educated at the University of Ten- nessee, and after graduating in 1847 immediately turned his attention to planting. Being endowed like his father with fine business tact, quick per- ception and shrewdness, he also accumulated con- siderable wealth, and is now one of the most pros- perous as well as highly respected citizens of Jefferson County. In June, 1850, he was married to Miss Jane Bogy, a daughter of Mr. Enos Bogy, a brilliant politician and representative of his county in the legislature. This lady died a year after her marriage, leaving one son, John B., now a well known planter of Jefferson County. In 1852 Capt. Williams was married to Miss Sarah J. Young, a daughter of Col. R. H. Young, of Trim- ble County. Ky., but this wife died in 1866, again leaving him a widower. Four children were born to the second marriage, of whom three are now liv- ing: Alice J. (wife of Virginius Murdaugh, a promi- nent merchant of Bankhead, Ark. ), Richard Y. and Robert H. (both well known planters of Jefferson County). The one dead is Nancy M., who was the wife of Lanier Tanner, residing near New Orleans, La. This daughter was born in 1855 and died in 1881. In June, 1886, Capt. Williams was married to Mrs. Samuella K. Young, formerly of Pulaski, Tenn., who has been a devoted wife. The Colonel is prominent in Masonic circles and a member of the Knights of Honor. In politics he is a Demo- crat, but is honest and liberal in his political views. Before the war he owned over 100 slaves, all of whom he lost after that event. The Colonel was a heavy loser by that struggle, but his unbounded energy and grit soon placed him on his former

level, and he is to-day one of Jefferson County's most prosperous men as well as enjoying a flatter- ing popularity with its citizens. He now owns about 7,000 acres of fertile land and has placed 2, 400 acres under cultivation, his plantations being among the largest and most productive in the State as also the most beautiful. Col. Williams has few equals as far as enterprise is concerned, and was one of the projectors of the railroad from Pine Bluff to Swan Lake and Bankhead.

E. W. Williams, a bachelor of Leland, and one of the largest and most successful planters of the county, as he is one of the deservedly popular residents, is a native of Tennessee, having been born in Memphis, in 1850. His father, Gen. Jo seph R. Williams, came originally from Peters- burg, Va., but as a citizen of Tennessee became a prominent man and a lawyer of ability and influ- ence, his extensive wealth adding largely to a just reputation. He was a member of the State militia of Tennessee before the war, and belonged to the Memphis Blues, of which he was captain. He owned large interests in Memphis, to which he de- voted most of his time, not practicing the legal profession in later life. He was once a member of the I. O. O. F. His death occurred in 1881 at the age of sixty years. His wife, formerly Miss Jane T. Wilkins, of Kentucky nativity, is still living in Memphis, in fair health, at the age of sixty years. Mr. and Mrs. Williams were the parents of nine children, five of whom are living, and of these our subject was the eldest. In 1869 Mr. Williams came to Arkansas, locating at his present residence. which was then in Arkansas County. He received a liberal education, partly in Toronto, Canada, and at Washington and Lee University, Virginia, be- coming well informed as a student, and in after life a man of wide reputation through his extensive reading. He now has upward of 22,000 acres of land under his control, is proprietor of a general sup- ply store for the hands that work on the place, and has one of the largest gin houses on the river. Mr. Williams is a genial, whole-souled man, thoroughly liked by all his acquaintances. The place on which he lives is one of the oldest settled farms in the county, his father having been first married in the

present house May 12, 1845, to Miss Elizabeth H. Taylor, daughter of Lewis Taylor, one of the early settlers of Arkansas, who came from Virginia in 1838, and located part of this place. Elizabeth was born in 1826 and died in 1847: they had one son, now deceased.

George S. Willis, M. D. In the galaxy of prominent men that honor Jefferson County with their citizenship. Dr. Willis stands foremost among the medical profession. He was born in Holly Springs, Miss., on April 17, 1854, and is a son of Dr. P. A. and Emily (Jackson) Willis, of Charles- ton, S. C., and Sussex County, Va., respectively. The parents were married in Virginia, and soon after their union moved to Holly Springs, Miss .. where the father practiced his profession with great success. He was a graduate of one of the leading medical institutions in Georgia, and well known in the South. He was a soldier in the Mexican War, and during the rebellion was a member of the famous Jeff Davis Rifles. After the latter event he embarked in the drug business and combined with it an office practice. In Masonic circles the elder Willis was very prominent and had taken some of the highest degrees in the order. In poli- tics he was a Democrat and an influential man in that party. Both parents were members of the Episcopal Church. The mother's death occurred when George was only three years old, and after her decease the father was again married, his sec- ond wife being Miss Sarah E. Rutherford. His death occurred in 1879, at the age of sixty-two years. Two children were born to his first mar- riage, Edwin S. and George S., the former a prominent druggist at Holly Springs, Miss., who died from yellow fever in the year 1878, when that terrible scourge was raging throughout the South. George S. was educated in Holly Springs and at Oxford, Miss., and entered his father's drug estab- lishment after ending his school days. He there learned the business and studied medicine at the same time up to 1874, when he attended the Mis- souri Medical College at St. Louis, from which he graduated. He next entered the wholesale house of A. Wengler & Co., druggists in St. Louis, as traveling salesman, and from there went to Louis-

228

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

ville, Ky., where he traveled for Arthur Peter & Co., wholesale druggists. In 1875 he became in- terested in the drug business with Mr. Theodore Linthicum, at Helena, Ark., and afterward at Austin, Miss., besides locating at various other places. In the meantime he had diligently kep up his study, and at Harrisburg combined an office practice with his drug business. Six months later he located at Jonesboro and commenced a general practice, but in 1885 moved to Midway Station. The year following he came to his present place where he has established an extensive practice and become one of the leading physicians in the county. On December 24, 1886, the Doctor was married to Miss Ida Moore, of Water Valley, Miss., a dangh- ter of Mr. J. J. Moore, and one son has been born to the union, Edwin C. Dr. Willis is a member of the Episcopal Church, and a liberal contributor to religious and educational matters. He is a mem- ber of the Royal Arcanum, and stands well in that order. In politics he is a Democrat, and when occasion requires, his influence is generally enough to turn the tide in favor of that party in local elec- tions.

James H. Winters, another leading planter in Jefferson County, was born in Tishomingo County, Miss., December 2, 1847, and is a son of Moses and Caroline (Brady) Winters, the father a native of North Carolina, and the mother from Kentucky. The parents were married in Missis- sippi, and resided for several years in that State, and at an early period settled in what now forms a portion of Lincoln County, Ark., where they resided until the father's death on December 27, 1869. On his arrival in Arkansas, the father entered a large tract of land from the Government, and commenced clearing and improving it. The country was then a complete wilderness and thickly populated by wild animals, but in spite of the dif- ficulties he established his home and opened up a very productive farm. He served some time with distinction in the Civil War, and on one occasion was captured and confined at Pine Bluff. Nine children were born to the parents, of whom eight are yet living: James H., Susan, Marion S., Ten- nessee, Henrietta, Lou, Samuel and Fannie C.

James H., the principal of this sketch, was very small when his parents brought him to Arkansas, and on account of the newness of the country, he received a limited education in his youth, the log- cabin school-house being the only one he could attend. He continued on the farm with his par- ents until reaching his maturity, and in the spring of 1864 enlisted in the Confederate service, act- ing as courier until the surrender. He then re- turned home, remaining with his parents until his marriage when he sought out a home of his own and located four miles southwest of Pine Bluff. He opened up and operated a farm with success until the spring of 1889, and then moved to Pine Bluff, where he built a fine residence. Mr. Winters was married in 1874 to Miss Tenney Griffin, by whom he has had three children: James S., Marion G. and Tenney G. This wife died January 27, 1878, and on December 7, 1883, he was married to Miss Rebecca Brethwait, of Ala- bama, who has borne two children, Eunice and Richard. Mrs. Winters is a daughter of Richard Brethwait, a native of Ireland, one of the earliest settlers of Claiborne County, Ark. She is a devoted member of the Presbyterian Church, and deeply interested in all religious and charitable work connected with her community. Mr. Winters has been very successful in his farming operations and now owns about 800 acres of productive land with some 300 acres under cultivation, all of which he has accumulated by energy, good management and enterprise.
