Notes for Jacksobena DYER

James Holdway 30 M Laborer b Ala [b abt 1820]

In 1860, Jacksobena's name is reported as Jackoline, very clearly written in
clear flowing script.  Because of the presence of Susan Dyse in the household,
I tend to think that Susan is Jacksobena's mother.  But I can find nothing on
anyone with this surname, or with similar names like Dyess that would match
these individuals.  One genealogy suggests the family name was Dyer, and has
the names of her parents.  But there is no documentaiton.  The name Dyer woudl
make sense as an analysis of the handwriting of the Susan's last name in the
census, which could be Dyre.

This genealogy has Jacksobena's first name as Jaqueline, which would make
sense, and acount for the strange 1860 form of Jackoline.  But both these are
quite different from the clear entry of the strange form Jacksobena in two
censuses.  It seems unlikley the latter could have been accidentally written
so carefully two different times 20 years apart.

Notes for Robert Henry DYER


"It seems very likely that the obliterated graveyard in the field near the
Nowell residence is that of Robert H. Dyer and members of his family.  
Colonel Dyer, for whom Dyer County, Tennessee is named, an outstanding soldier
in the War of 1812, died in Madison County on May 11, 1826."
--  Jackson Gazette, May 13, 1826, Jonathan K. T. Smith, Copyright, Jonathan
K. T. Smith, 1996, "A Genealogical Miscellany II, Madison County, Tennessee"

His obituary in the Jackson, Madison County, Tennessee Gazette, reports his
death at his home in Madison County, north of Jackson, adjoining his land in
Dyer County.

"Departed this, life, on Thursday the 11th instant at his residence in this
county, after a short illness Col. Robert H. Dyer, a distinguished hero in the
service of his country, under General Jackson, during the late war. Few men
commanded more respect and esteem of a extensive acquaintance in private life,
and none ever deserved better of his country as a soldier. He served in all
memorable campaigns under General Jackson, down to the termination of
hostilities at the celebrated Battle of New Orleans. He was a brave, intrepid
and efficient as an officer, always at his post, and ever foremost in battle,
paved the way to victory. The memory of such a man deserves more than a
passing notice. We shall be pleased hereafter to obtain and present to our
readers, a biographical sketch of our much lamented and departed friend. A
numerous family deplores his loss. His remains were interred at his late
residence, on yesterday with military honors."

Notes for Arthur Richard Jackson EALAND


The first evidence of this man's surname (besides some genealogies that give
Harriett's name with no documentation) is in the census of 1900 in the name of
his two daughters.

In 1900 Harriett and her sister Pearl are reported as stepchildren in the home
of widow Emma Hicks, with Emma's two Hicks children.  To account for the
relationships and ages, with the last names reported, Emma's recently deceased
husband was Mr Ealand the two girls' father by Mr Ealand's first wife.  It
would appear he died, and Emma married Mr Hicks, then he died after July 1899,
when the last child Florence was reported born.

In what appears to be an enumerator error, Harriett E is reported as a Son and
Male, even though she matches Harriett Fowler in 1910, the wife of Charles B
Fowler, whose sister Pearl is int he same household married to Charlie's
brother.

Some additional troublesome discrepancies, the Ealand girls' father is
reported as born in Texas, while the Hicks children's father is reported as
born in England.  An interesting highlight appears in the 1910 census, where
we see that both Harriet's and Pearl's father is also reported as born in
England.  This would not match the different last  names but might indicate
some other close relationship among the families.  If this all was not so much
fun, one might get frustrated and discouraged!

I found an entry that appears to be for him under the name of Arthur Ealand,
in San Antonio's City Directory for 1892.  No wife is reported for him (and
minor children are not usually reported in these directories), so it appears
from this that Mrs Ealand died  between the birht of Harriett in Dec 1890 and
early 1892 when the directory was being compiled.  He is the only Ealand in
the book.

Notes for Harriett EALAND


The family situation is a little complicated in 1900.  Harriett and her sister
Pearl are reported as stepchildren in the home of widow Emma Hicks, with
Emma's two Hicks children.  It would seem that Emma's recently deceased
husband was Mr Ealand the two girls' father.  If the step relationships
reported are correct, in order to account for the names, the two girls would
need to be the daughters of Mr Ealand's first wife.  The ages of the two Hicks
children would allow for that.  The father of the Hicks children, than, was a
second husband of Emma after the death of Mr Ealand.

An additional complication is that Harriett E is reported as a Son and Male,
even with the name Harriet.  But this Harriett matches Harriett Fowler in
1910, the wife of Charles B Fowler.  This seems further confirmed when we find
that in the same household are Charlie's brother Webster and his wife Pearl,
who matches Harriett's sister Pearl Ealand in the 1900 census.

Now for the next layer of forensic investigation, note that the Ealand girls'
father is reported as born in Texas, while the Hicks children's father is
reported as born in England.  An interesting highlight appears in the 1910
census, where we see that both Harriet's and Pearl's father is also reported
as born in England.  This might indicate a further background relationship
between the families Hicks and Ealand, but just what is undetermined at this
stage.  What fun these censuses are!

That complicated theory acounting forf the dates and names we know here sounds
good, but I found some genealogies (undocuemnted, of course, that have late
dates of death for both Harriet's parents.  And no second wife for her father,
or anything to calrify how Anna Hicks could be Harriet and Pearl could be the
stepdaughters of Anna Hicks.  These facts remain unaccounted for in the couple
of genealogies I have seen.  The details in name, date and place for their
father and other information lends credibility to their information.

The woman reported as Harriet and Pearl's mother is buried in Gause, Milam
County, Texas, Cemetery, and died in 1962.

After Charlie's early death in October 1910, Harriett remarried, this time to

Harriett had one child from Charlie Fowler,born after his death.  This

shows they had moved to in Gause, in Milam County, briefly and were there in
1935, before moving back to Frio County  This location gives us the birth
place of the child Nelda.

moved back to Frio from Gauge in about 1939.

Nancy first middle initial may be I instead of J; same with her husband Thomas
I or Thomas J.  The Js and Is are hard to distinguish on this page. 
Ancestry.com transcribes the head of this household as Thomas J Green, but one
of the sons as Thomas I.  Note that the child matching John M of 1850 in the
1860 census is called John W.

In 1870, the son is clearly Thomas J, but the father does not have an initial. 
Genealogies which report this family have both with the middle initial J. 
Nancy's middle initial is also J.  The 1860 census has Nancy's second middle
initial of R.  This may be an error too.

I found an Easley family living next door to her and Thomas in the 1850
census.  From the ages, it appears that was her brother and his family.  I
have not tried to reconstruct this Easley family, which are somewhat distant
from the lineages this genealogy follows.

Some genealogies have Nancy's death information as 2 Nov 1879 in Sabine
County, Texas, but no source documentation is provided.  In 1860 and 1870 they
had been in Van Zandt County, to the northwest, before 1860?  Van Zandt County
is east of Kaufman County, which borders Dallas County.

I have trouble accepting this date of death as correct, since Tom remarried in
1871.  His widow S J Green applied in 1909 for a military widow's pension.  In
her application, S J reported her husband as Thomas James Green.  Her husband
had served in the Confederate States Cavalry from Texas during the Civil War.

S J also reports in her application that she has lived in Upshur County for 53
years.  This would be back to about 1856.  Upshur County is not very far from
Van Zandt County.  Hamilton County is several counties southwest of there.  So
the Hamilton County couple is a different family.

The pension application, supported by an affidavit of two witnesses, reports
that S J and Thomas were married on 6 February 1871.  If this is the correct
wife of Thomas at the time of his death, as several genealogies do affirm, it
would mean that Nancy Easley Green died before 1871, or perhaps they were
divorced. But that was very unusual in that era.

Notes for A Benjamin Scott EAST


In 1860, Benjamin Scott East was enumerated as an 11-year-old in his parents'

father Alvis.

The names of Benjamin's parents are given in his Washington state death
record.  Note that his mother is names Martha, instead of Jane.  This may
indicate her name was Martha Jane Rawlings (spelled Rollins on Ben's death
record).  I wonder if this could be for Alvis, after his father.  Ben had a
brother named Alvis Hertsell East Jr

Also Ben's birth date given here is earlier than any other records would
indicate.

Alvis Hertsell East moved from North Carolina, via Iowa, to Indian Territory
in the late 1800s when homesteaders raced West to claim their own plot of
land. A few years later Parts of nearby Oklahoma Territory were opened up for
a land run. Alvis died in Chickasha, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, just
on the edge of Chickasaw Nation, across from what was then the
Kiowa-Comanche-Apache tribal reservation.  These all became part of Oklahoma
State in 1907.  Chickasha is now in Grady County, Oklahoma.

His wife Jane applied for a military pension base don Alvis's service in the
Union Army in the Civil War.

There are two memorials on Find a Grave for Alvis, one in Chickasha, Oklahoma
(Chickasaw Nation), where his second wife and at least one child are also
buried.  The other is in their former home area of Clarinda, Page County,
Iowa, from which they moved to Missouri then Indian Territory.  Both memorials
have the same date of death.  The Iowa marker has no dates.

Alvis served the Union under two enlistments in the Civil War, first in the
Missouri 14th Regiment for 6 months in 1861.  Then he joined the 23rd Iowa
Infantry, in September 1862.  He served in both cases as staff surgeon.

I note that the Iowa memorial reports he died in Iowa.  This appears to be
part of his military records.  This is strange, since his wife Jane and their
sons Alvis H Jr, and George died and are buried in Chickasha, Oklahoma. 
Another son Theophilus H East also lived there for many years before he went
to Western areas and Mexico to serve as a doctor his last few years, before
passing away in Colorado.
