The birth of our subject took place in Alabama in 1839, and he resided with his mother until 1849, and then went to his uncle, J. W. Anderson, who was his gnard- ian, remaining with him until the age of sixteen, and working on the farm. He then returned to his stepfather, Mr. Mur- phy, with whom he remained four years, and then attended school for six months. In 1860 he went to work for Joe Murphy, who paid him $100, the first money he ever earned. He married then and re- turned to Georgia, where he superintended a flouring mill for Andrew Murphy, and was to receive $100 and board for himself and wife. Here he remained until 1861, when he took his wife back to her people and enlisted in the Confederate army, in Company D, under Captain R. Draper, Fifty-first Alabama Cavalry, under John T. Morgan. Our subject was captured twice, the first time at La Vergne, Tennes- see, but he escaped under the following cir- enmstances: He was put into the peni- tentiary at Nashville, Tennessee, and escaped by the assistance of a lady, who furnished him with a rope, by which he

lowered himself from a window. He re- turned to his command, but was captured again at Shelbyville. He was then taken to Delaware Island, Ohio, and there kept a prisoner for two years. He was captured before the Gettysburg fight, after which there were 9,000 prisoners. Our subject refused to take the oath of allegiance, and remained two years in prison, and he made from $5 to $10 a day selling jewelry to Union visitors. After the surrender of Lee he returned to Calhoun county, Ala- bama, to his wife and child, whom he had not seen for over three years. When he returned home he had but $20, which he spent for a cow and pig, and started for Texas in 1866. He first located at Fort Sullivan, where he remained three years, and then removed to Falls county. One year after coming to Falls connty, in the fall of 1870, he bought a part of the place he now owns. Here he remained until 1882, and then removed into Kosse to educate his family.

He married Martha Cobb, a native of Alabama, a daughter of Nathaniel Cobb, a native of South Carolina and seven chil- dren have been born to them, namely: Wallace lives near Kosse; John M. and Milton live in Kosse; Willy Ann was edn- cated at the female institute of Sherman, and is a teacher in that city; Ophelia, edu- cated at the same institute, is a primary teacher in Kosse; Alice and Maggie are at home.

Onr subject started for himself when nineteen years old, landed in Texas with about $20 and a team, after spending eight weeks on the road. At present he has 900 acres, 400 under cultivation, twenty head

of mules, twenty horses, and town prop- erty, also about 100 head of cattle in Crockett county. He and his wife are members of the Baptist Church, and Mr. Stephens is an ardent Democrat, a K. of H. and an Odd Fellow.

EREDITH N. MILLER, deceased, was the son of Andrew Miller, who was born in Georgia, and went to Texas, where he located in Grimes county, and in 1834 or 1835 was waylaid for money he had upon his person. By occu- pation he was a successful farmer, and in politics was a prominent Whig. The mother of our subject was Celia Neal, a native of Georgia, who removed from there to Louisiana. These parents were married and had a family of four children, namely: Mary became the wife of Joseph Linch, and both are deceased; Robert, deceased; Lucretia is the wife of F. C. Oliver; and our subject, who was the third in the fam- ily. He was born in Grimnes county, Texas, in 1828, and his father died when he was seven or eight years old. He con- tinned to live with his mother until he was eighteen years old, and was principally engaged in raising stock. He then went to Louisiana and attended school for two years, after which he returned to Texas, to his stock business. In 1850 he bought a home on Hornhill, and there continued in business until he moved to Honest Ridge, where he lived thirty years and engaged in the mercantile business, in company with Mr. Alsbrook.

In 1853 he married Lucy E. Oliver, a native of Tennessee, who came to Texas with her parents when about twelve years old. She is the daughter of Roderick and Temperance (Durly) Oliver, natives of Georgia. Eight children were the result of this marriage, as follows: Andrew N., a stockman, is at home; Mary is now the wife of Thomas Davidson, a lumber dealer, who resides at Laredo; Alena, wife of W. H. Lefeorr, of Hill Grove, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, now traveling for the Kilgore College; Lucre- cia, wife of James Windbush, a stockman of Groesbeck; William W .; Rosina, Ora and Sammie are at home.

Our subject supported himself from the time of his father's death, with but little help from any one, At that time he was possessed of $4,000 to $5,000. At the time of his own death he owned 1,000 acres of land, 350 of which is under culti- vation; also a gin, which is valued at $1,000. In politics lie was a Democrat; socially, a Royal Arch Mason. Both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Church, of which he was a Steward. He was a man who kept himself well informed on the leading topics of the day, was very charitable, of good habits and easy tem- perament.

B. KINNEBREW, a successful farmer of Navarro county, was born in Georgia, May 13, 1838, a son of M. D. and Eliza (Dunn) Kinnebrew, also natives of Georgia. The father was a son of L. B. Kinnebrew, a native of Scotland,

and a prominent farmer and slave-owner. The father of our subject also became a successful farmer and slave-owner before the late war, was a Whig in his po. litical views, but never accepted pub- lic office. His death occurred in Ala- bama about 1866. Mr. Kinnebrew mar- ried Miss Eliza Dunn, a native of Georgia and a daughter of a prominent farmer of that State. To this union were born nine children, of whom our subject is the third child. He and his only surviv- ing brother came to Texas in December, 1871, afterward followed by three sisters, two of whom had families.

Our subject remained with his parents until the opening of the late war, when, in May, 1861, he enlisted in Company L, Sixtlı Alabama Regiment, in the Army of Vir- ginia. He served under many different generals, participated in twenty-six regu- lar battles, was in almost a daily skirmish, had many bullet holes in his clothing, and also had the skin bruised, but never broken. He was captured at Petersburg, April 2, 1865, was carried to Point Lookout, Mary- land, where he remained until paroled, June 28, 1865, and returned home July 11 of that year, having walked much of the way. In 1871 lie came to Navarro county, Texas, farmed on rented land two years, and then bought the place on which he now resides. He continned agricultural pursuits until 1889, when he engaged as superintendent of the collections, renting and selling land and other property of the Texas Land & Loan Company, Mr. Kin- nebrew travels over Ellis, Navarro and ad- joining counties. Since his residence in this State, he has also taught school one term.

Mr. Kinnebrew was married March 26, 1867, to Miss Blanche Edwards, who was born July 26, 1848, a daughter of Ben and Snsan (Tilley) Edwards, natives of North Carolina and Georgia. The parents had a family of eight children, six of whom grew to years of maturity. Mrs. Kinnebrew is the fourth child, and the only one who came to Texas. Our subject and wife have had ten children, eight now living, as fol- lows: Irene H., born May 16, 1870, is en- gaged as stenographer for the State Mission Journal, representing the Baptists of Texas, and she is now located at Lampasas; Lela, born April 21, 1872, is the wife of A. J. Swearinger, of western Texas; Jerome H., born Angust 28, 1873, is at home; Mar- quis, born April 4, 1875; Maud, July 15, 1877; Lee, December 31, 1879; Claude, October 14, 1884; and Dudie, October 1, 1888. Mr. Kinnebrew is a member of the Masonic fraternity and the Knights of Honor, is identified with the Democratic party, and both he and his wife are mem- bers of the Missionary Baptist Church.

J. ROGERS, one of the well-known citizens of Limestone county, was born in Perry county, Alabama, June 18, 1831. His father, Benjamin Rogers, was born in Georgia in 1781; was a soldier in the war of 1812, and re- moved to Alabama eiglit years later, en- gaging in farming. In 1836 he went to Mississippi, where he afterward died. He married Martha Wilkinson in October, 1809. Her parents were wealthy and op- posed the marriage, and as a consequence

refused to endow them with any of this world's goods. But their spirits were not dampened by this act of unkindness, and they afterward became wealthy. The chil- dren of this union were: Betsey Ann, wife of Steward McDonald; Benjamin, deceased; William, deceased; Mary, wife of George Pollock; John W., of Vicksburg; James, in Hill county; Martha, widow of Edward Pollock; A. J., our subject; M.C .; and Sarah Jane, wife of P. Alexander.

A. J. Rogers received only a fair En- glish education, and at the age of seven- teen years began life for himself. In 1856 he came to Texas, intending to locate in Bell county, but changed his plans and halted in Limestone county. In 1857 he bought fifty acres of land, but since that time has added to his original purchase until he now owns 190 acres, 130 of which is under a fine state of cultivation. His product of corn and hogs is always suffi- cient to supply the wants of his large farm. When the Confederacy was formed, Mr. Rogers enlisted in the army from Texas, in Colonel Bass's regiment, and served three years in Indian Territory, Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri. He participated in the battle of Cane Hill, and many sınaller engagements. The regiment was disbanded at Sandy Point Station, and our subject immediately returned home and undertook to retrieve his lost property. He has held no public office, but has man- ifested an interest in seeing good men fill public stations.

Mr. Rogers was married May 23, 1852, to Mary Owens, a daughter of Thomas and Jane Owens. Our subject and wife had eight children, viz .: Martha Jane, de-

ceased; Mary Cornelia, deceased; Jeffe- lonia, wife of B. H. Stone; W. T .; J. H .; Ella, wife of Willis Barfield; Lulu, wife of T. N. Moody; Lee, now Mrs. W. C. Moody. The mother died November 11, 1874, and December 22, 1875, Mr. Rogers married Jane Gilbert, who died five months later. On June 24, 1877, he united in marriage with Mrs. Louisa E. Burton, and they have had the following children: Mollie, Ellen, Dora, Elizabeth, Mertie, Maud, Bertie, A. J., James Benjamin, Chloe and Nettie Cline. The family are members of the Baptist Church, of which our subject is a Deacon.

UDGE S. H. KERR, an old and highly honored citizen of Navarro county, was born in Maury county, Tennessee, December 24, 1823, and was reared in his native county. (See sketch of James Kerr, Sr., for family history.) He moved to west Tennessee when a young man, and later married Miss Catherine Delia Smith on October 20, 1846, at Lanesburg, Ten- nessee, and in November, 1852, moved to Texas, locating in Corsicana. He taught school at early day in Tennessee, and for five or six years also in this county after locating here. Later he was engaged in the wagon and buggy business. In 1861 he was elected Judge of Navarro county, and held that position for five years. On January 1, 1873, he became deputy under James M. Doolen, then holding the office of County and District Clerk. He held this position for three years, when the offi- ces were separated under the new constitu-

796

tion, when he was elected County Clerk. He served in this office until January, 1886. The records of the County Court are largely the work of his hands, and they give abund- ant evidence of the care and efficiency with which he served the people of Navarro county in one of the most responsible po- sitions within their gift. Judge Kerr has reared a family of eight children, all of whom are now married. His eldest, Leora J., is the wife of John W. Dnren of Corsi- cana. William H., died in Corsicana in 1869, nnmarried. Frank is now one of the leading business men of Corsicana. Mary is the wife of the Rev. B. M. Taylor, of Ennis, this State. Louisa is the wife of Rev. Abe Mulkey, of Corsicana. Samnel M. is a business man of Corsicana. Fleta, was married to L. P. Keen and is now de- ceased. And Calvin resides in Corsicana, engaged with his brother Frank in the real- estate, loan and insurance business. Judge Kerr and all his family are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He is also a member of the Masonic fraternity, having been a Mason for more than forty years.

EORGE W. SPEED, a farmer of Navarro county, was born in Mis- sissippi, April 11, 1846, a son of James M. and Sarah (Rogers) Speed, na- tives of South Carolina. The father was a son of William Speed, who moved from that State to Mississippi, where he was a large farmer and slave-owner. James M. Speed was also a prominent farmer and slave-owner before the war, and during

that struggle was a member of the State Militia. Ile is still engaged in farming in Mississippi, aged seventy-seven years, and his wife is now about seventy-five years of age, both hale and hearty. Mr. Speed married Miss Sarah Rogers, a dangli- ter of Michael Rogers, who was a na- tive of Sonth Carolina. He afterward moved to Mississippi, where he was a prominent farmer, and his death occurred in that State in 1867. To this union were born eleven children, all of whom lived to have families, and all still survive but two. Four sons served in the late war, and one died at Vicksburg.

George W., the only member of liis father's family in Texas, remained at home until 1864, when he enlisted in Company B. Stnbb's battalion, Wood's brigade, in the Army of the Mississippi, and his com- mand was engaged in guarding the Mis- sissippi river. After the close of the struggle Mr. Speed returned to his father's home, aud in 1876 came to Navarro county, Texas, where he bought a tract of partly improved land. Four years later he purchased another tract of fifty-three acres, but two years afterward again sold out and bought the tract of raw land where lie now lives. He has added to his original purchase until he owns 707 acres, all under fence, and 360 acres cultivated by tenants. In addition to his farming inter- ests, he is also engaged to some extent in stock-raising.

Mr. Speed was married December 1, 1869, to Miss Elizabeth Birkhalter, who was born February 26, 1839, a daughter of Joshua and Martha Burkhalter, natives of Georgia. The parents subsequently

moved to Mississippi, where the father served as Justice of the Peace. He was Captain of the militia during the late war, was a prominent farmer, and served as Lecturer for the Masonic fraternity of the State. Mr. and Mrs. Speed have had fif- teen children, thirteen now living, namely: Martin L., born July 15, 1871, is at home; Lilly B., born November 18, 1872, mar- ried Joseph Linsey, a farmer of Navarro connty; John B., born September, 6, 1873, is at home; Sarah M., born October 26, 1875; Martha E., May 30, 1877; Joshua M., April 24, 1878; St. Elmo, March 7, 1880; Laura J., September 14, 1882; George V., March 24, 1884; Charlie C., December 6, 1886; Elijah B., November 13, 1890; and Ora E., December 27, 1891. Socially, Mr. Speed is a member of the Alliance; politically, was formerly a Dem- ocrat, but is now a third-party man; and religiously, both he and his wife are mem- bers of the Missionary Baptist Church.

ARION MARTIN .- If a diary of the public and private life of the gentleman whose name heads this sketch had been kept and could be exhib- ited here, it would be an example of prog- ress through difficulties where he planned and executed as necessity demanded, finally reaching the second best position in the gift of the people of Texas. Captain Mar- tin came to Navarro county in 1853, from Livingston county, Kentucky, where he he was born in 1830. His parents were James and Elizabeth (Cofield) Martin. The father, also a native of Kentucky, died

in 1838, and the mother in 1830. He was early left an orphan, with no capital but energy, no guide but a conscience, and spent only one year in a school-room. He was a slow-boy-boat hand on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, receiving $8 per month, was then employed as a clerk in a store, and was engaged in trading and various other vocations until 1853. In that year he came to Navarro county, Texas, where he bought a small farm, but has added to his original purchase until he now has 1,500 acres, and where he has made thirty- nine crops. He has also been engaged in stock-raising, now owning several hundred head, and during the later years he has given his attention principally to horses.

In 1859 Captain Martin first entered public life, having been elected that year to the State Senate, as a Houston man. He took a conspicuous place among the work- ers of that body, and opposed secession, declaring that the grievances of the South could and ought to be settled in the Union. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention, framing the Constitution of 1875, and was almost unanimously elected; served on the committees of Finance, Im- provements, Education, taking special in- terest in the free-school question. He was a member of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Senates, and in 1882 was elected Lieuten- ant-Governor, his term expiring two years later. Since that time he lias held no pub- lic office, but has always been a leader, speaking his convictions freely and hon- estly, and affiliates with no party unless its platform suits his convictions. When the war broke out Captain Martin enlisted in Bass' regiment, but was prevented from

798

HISTORY OF NAVARRO, HENDERSON, ANDERSON,

doing army service by ill health. He was soon discharged, and remained at home during the remainder of the war.

In 1850 he was united in marriage with Mary C. Hodge, and they had seven chil- dren, all now deceased. Mrs. Martin died in 1866, and in 1877 our subject married Angie Harle, a daughter of Dr. Harle. They have three living children: Marion, Mary and Frank. Mr. Martin has been a delegate to the Grand Lodge of Odd Fel- lows, of Texas, and was District Deputy Grand Master. He is a member of the Masonic order, and has held all the chairs in the blue lodge In politics he is a Populist, and was nominated on that party ticket, with Judge Nugent, for Lieutenant- Governor, and made a canvass of the State for the ticket.

E. DUNN, ex-Sheriff of Navarro county, and now a wealthy farmer and stock-raiser, was born in Liv- ingston county, Kentucky, in 1835. His father, James F. Dunn, was a native of the same State, was a farmer by occupation, and his death occurred when quite young. He married Miss Lucinda, a daughter of David Bigham, of Irish descent. In 1844 the mother of our subject married M. F. Dunn, a brother of her former husband, and they had six children, three now liv- ing: Harvey, David and Cullen.

E. E. Dunn, our subject, had a very poor chance for preparing himself for active life from an educational standpoint, and has always made his own way in the world. He bought his first hat and pair of boots

with his own money. In 1850 he came to Texas, and in 1854 was appointed Deputy Sheriff nuder J. B. Barry, which position he held four years. He then engaged in the stock business, which he has since con- tinned. In 1859 he removed to Burnham, and began merchandising. In 1861 our subject enlisted in the Thirteenth Texas Infantry, under Colonel Bates; served in the Trans- Mississippi Department, and par- ticipated in a part of Banks' campaign. In the spring of 1865 lie was discharged at Velasco, Texas, after which he returned to Corsicana. The war left him without money and with a large family to support. Cattle trading then offered the best induce- ments, and he at once engaged in that business, and the profits have been suf- ficient to warrant his continuing to this day. He now owns 500 head of grazing cattle in Borden county. In 1876 Mr. Dunn was elected Sheriff of this county, and re-elected in 1878-'80-'82, holding the office in all eight years. During his ad- ministration such characters as John Polk, Frank Cloud, Jesse Roscoe, and Dan and Tom Wessen were dealt with. Our sub- ject is interested in the People's National Bank of Ennis, of which he was a director in 1890.

In 1855 he was united in marriage with Miss Margaret, a daughter of J. J. Thomp- son. To this union have been born the following children: Mary, wife of C. C. Wright; Arabella, wife of N. B. Edens, of Corsicana; Alice and Agnes, twins, and the former is the wife of J. J. Wilson, County Clerk of this county, and the lat- ter is the wife of J. W. Edens, of Cor- sicana. The wife and mother died in

799

LIMESTONE, FREESTONE AND LEON COUNTIES.

1865, and the father was afterward mar. ried to Rachel, a daughter of Rev. Will- iam Doolen. They have had four children: Maggie, wife of Harry D. Johnson; Will- iam F .; Mattie and Gertie. Mr. Dunn lost his second wife in 1874, and in 1876 he married Mrs. Mary E. Hill, a daughter of B. F. Adams, of Alabama. The family are identified with the Methodist Church. Mr. Dunn is a Mason, belongs to Corsicana Lodge, No. 174, Corsicana Chapter, No. 41, and the Corsicana Commandery, No. 14. He is a member of the Democratic party, and a prohibitionist.

W. THOMASON, a prominent land owner of Navarro county, Texas, is the subject of this notice. He was born in Henry county, Tennessee, Novem- ber 28, 1835, and was reared on a farm, getting no schooling. He was the son of O. D. Thomason, of North Carolina, a slave-owner and a prominent farmer, who died in Arkansas in 1867, having been of English descent. He married Miss Eva- line Dismunks, a daughter of Daniel Dis- munks, of Virginia, who was a prominent farmer of that State. The family consisted of seven children, and our subject was the oldest child and theonly one who ever came to Texas.

Althongh our subject was prevented from acquiring an education in his young days, he has so educated himself that he has no difficulty in attending to his own business. When about eighteen years of age he left home and was employed as an overseer, and followed that occupation for

some years in Mississippi until the war broke out, and then he enlisted in Company B, Eighth Mississippi, but the same year he was transferred to the Thirty-seventh Infantry, Company G, and was consigned to the Army of the Tennessee. He saw hard service and was engaged in twenty- eight regular battles and many skirmishes. He was captured at Vicksburg, was paroled, but was not exchanged for ten months. After the exchange was effected he joined his old regiment, his first commander being Pendleton, who was succeeded by Lacy, then Bragg, Joseph E. Johnston and Hood. At the battle of Nashville, De- cember 15, 1864, he was wounded by a minie ball through the left side, which passed under the shoulder blade through to under the right shoulder. He was again taken prisoner and removed to the hospital, and as soon as well enough to Camp Chase, Ohio. In a short time they were exchanged, 700 prisoners being sent to Richmond in April. They proceeded as far as Baltimore, when, on account of the hostilities being carried on at Richmond, they were landed at Point Lookout, and all were detained there until the surrender of Lee, and all were paroled. Then Mr. Thomason re- turned home, the government furnishing transportation. That same year our sub- ject began domestic life.

Soon after his first marriage our subject removed to Arkansas and began farming, and remained in that State until 1872, when he came to Texas. At once he bought a tract of land which had on it a small amount of improvement, 100 acres, and has since added to it until he now has 500 acres all under fencing. He also owns a

800

HISTORY OF NAVARRO, HENDERSON, ANDERSON,

ranch in Presidio connty, containing 1,280 acres. He cultivates 240 acres in his own home farm, and has a good two-story frame residence with outbuildings, besides houses to rent. In 1888 he bought a cotton gin, which he conducts, and raises cotton, corn, oats, and makes home supplies, and has never bought any bacon or lard; and this has been the first year he has bought any corn, as hail aud the chinch-bug destroyed his crop.

On coming to the State he brought about $800, and by hard work and prudent man- agement made the balance of what he has now. He is giving attention to all kinds of stock, horses, mules and cattle, and has a fine stallion of copper-bottom strain, and also a fine saddle horse.

The first marriage of our subject was to Miss Samantha Gowan, a daughter of Richard Gowan, of North Carolina, who came to Texas in 1867 and settled in Na- varro county. He died in December, 1890, having followed farming all his life. From this union were born eight children: Rich- ard O. died August 19, 1890, aged twenty- three years; William H. lives in Western Texas; Mattie married J. T. Truelove, and lives in Western Texas; Alexander, Fleta, Joshua, Susie and Lottie are at home. Their mother died February 19, 1883. On September 4, 1886, our subject married Mrs. Emma Parry, the widow of George Parry, who left two children, a son and a daughter, and the former, Frank Parry, is in partnership with our subject. By his last marriage, Mr. Thomason has two chil- dren, Maud and Eva. Mrs. Thomason was born in England in 1852, and was the daughter of Richard Walthro, who died in England. Mrs. Thomason came to Amer-
