| 951 | The Rev. W.A. Criswell passed away from life into death at the community out in the Panhandle. Criswell had always wanted to be a Pastor of some church ever since he was a little boy. Rev. Criswell was converted at an early age and when he got out of high school, he attended Baylor in Waco. He also went to the Fort Worth Seminary. Pecan Grove Baptist was about the first church he preached when going to Baylor in Waco. He also had the Mound Baptist Church part time.Bro. Criswell preached at Pecan Grove Church which was called a quarter time church back in those days. At the time W.A. did not have a car and had to ride with other people to get to Pecan Grove near Gatesville.Times were hard back then and not many had money. Bro. Criswell was paid $10.00 every Sunday he preached. Pecan Grove only had a tabernacle to have Sunday service in and old wood bleachers to sit on and an alter made out of rock. J.T. Davidson who was living at the time said people came in their wagons, buggies and on horse back to hear Criswell preach. The revival at Pecan Grove was a week or so and many camped out by the tabernacle on the Coryall Creek and had a service every morning and night and did their cooking over a camp fire. When the weather was cold or bad, the members of the church had service in the Pecan Grove School building.Rev. Criswell baptized many people in the Coryall Creek. A few years later, the members of Pecan Grove gave what they had in money and helped build a new church on the banks of the Coryall Creek. The work was done by the church members. Bro. Criswell helped also and where the church stands today. Pecan Grove Church also got Rev. Criswell a car so he would have a way to come to church. The church has been remodeled since those days. It still has a church bell on the top of the church like Criswell wanted.Rev. Criswell is survived by his wife Betty and daughter Mable Ann and grandsons Cris Criswell and Paul Daniel Jackson. He also was the president of the Southern Baptist Convention for 2 terms. His funeral service was at the First Baptist Church in Dallas where he preached for 50 yrs.

CRISWELL went home to be with the Lord Thursday, January 10th at 4:40 a.m. The celebration of his home-going brings to the multitudes around the world memories and reflections of a great pulpiteer, leader, pastor and friend. He is survived by his wife and helpmate, Betty, of 66 years, his daughter, Mable Ann, 2 grandsons and their wives, Cris Criswell and Rachel, Paul Jackson and Krestense, and 5 great grandchildren. It was October 6, 1944, that Dr. Criswell preached his first sermon in the world-famous pulpit as pastor of the First Baptist Church. The world renowned Dr. George W. Truett preceded him as pastor from 1897-1944. No one ever dreamed that Dr. Truett's longevity as pastor could be surpassed until they met this young man, full of boundless energy with his eyes on the needs of his flock and the lost around the world. The thirty-four year old pastor was bewildered that God's providence should lead him to the pastorate of this great church and congregation. In his sermon on that first Sunday, W.A. Criswell revealed his dreams for the church. Serving as pastor of First Baptist Church for over fifty years and Pastor Emeritus for the past seven, God has used His servant mightily. His leadership was sought by Presidents and they came to hear him preach. His preaching brought to fruition what his dreams were for the church. The pulpit was the center of his ministry. One of his greatest achievements was preaching through the Bible over seventeen years. He began to chart a course toward creation of a family-centered, multi-faceted program that would appeal to every age and every family. Adequate facilities were a priority for age-group Bible study, to recreational facilities, to adequate parking. The church grew, and from his vision, blessed and empowered by the Lord, came a ministry to all people not yet seen among other churches. This included providing week-day care for pre-school children, which eventually led to the establishing of the First Baptist Academy, and in 1971, the dedication of Criswell Bible Institute, which was the beginning of what is now The Criswell College, a fully-accredited Bible College for young men preparing for the ministry. Dr. Criswell served as president of the Southern Baptist Convention from 1968-1970. He authored over 50 books. His influence went far beyond his church with opportunities to preach to thousands around the world. He was a popular speaker at conventions, camps, revivals and the mission field. Because of his love for missions, the church program included 31 missions in the City of Dallas. In addition to the missions, one of the greatest accomplishments of the church was the fulfilled dream of the purchase and establishment of the Dallas Life Foundation which will minister to the needy until eternity. A dream dear to his heart was fulfilled when KCBI became a reality in 1976, and today ministers to literally thousands of people by radio 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Dr. Criswell's dream was literally decades ahead of other churches and helped build the mightiest church of his generation. There was never a congregation that loved their pastor more than the people of the First Baptist Church. His favorite verse of the Bible served as a beacon for his entire ministry. The Grass Withereth, The flower fadeth: but the Word of our God shall Stand for ever. Isaiah 40:8 He once said if he could write his epitaph he would like it to be, "Here lie the mortal remains of W.A. Criswell, who sought and found the Shepherd's heart - who loved his people and sought to be a good and godly pastor." And all the people said, "Amen." Dr. Criswell will lie in state on Monday, January 14th from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. in the Rotunda of The Criswell College, and on Tuesday, January 15th in the First Baptist Church sanctuary from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. The funeral services will be in the Sanctuary of First Baptist Church Wednesday, January 16th at High Noon. Memorials may be given to the First Baptist Church of Dallas, 1707 San Jacinto at Ervay, Dallas, Texas 75201 or The W.A. Criswell Foundation, 4010 Gaston Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75246. Arrangements are being made for adequate seating and visibility of the service for everyone.Services will be under the personal direction of Kenneth Howe, Lebanon, Missouri in cooperation with Thompson's Harveson & Cole Funeral Home, 702 8th Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas. Entombment to follow at Hillcrest Mausoleum and Memorial Park. Thompson's Harveson & Cole Funeral Home 702 Eighth Ave. PROVIDED BY WICHITAFALLS 47544561#.

| 952 | The United States federal era began in 1776. Events such as civil strife, wars, disease, the introduction of cotton, and the development of roads influenced people to move into or out of South Carolina. South Carolina's cotton economy depended heavily upon slave labor. Census records from 1790 to 1840 list only the head of each household by name. Records, including military, court, and land records, were created during this time. 1790 Census Name: James Brownlow Event Place: Edgecombe, Halifax, North Carolina Page Number: 447 Line Number: 14339 NARA Publication Number: M637 NARA Roll Number: 7 Film Number: 0568147 Digital Folder Number: 004440913 Image Number: 00262 In the1840 & 1830 Anderson County, SC Census James Brownlow - the only Brownlow in the 1830 or 1840 SC Census in any Dist. or County in SC. (This could be William's father because he is from the right state and William named his first son James.) I copied these Censuses, but it does not give the names of anyone else, just the numbers, one of which is a male between the ages of 15 - 20. That seems too young. However, in the 1830 Anderson Co., SC Census, James Brownlow list 2 sons ages10 - 15 and 2 sons ages 15 - 20. One of these ages would fit William M. Brownlow. ________________________________________________________ (Gene Brownlow 2013) There are 2 Census, 1820 and 1830 that seem to show that William could be one of James and Rebecca's children. In 1820 the report shows 2 males under 10 and 1 under 45. At this time George W was 6 and William would have been 5 and James would have been 33. The same report shows 1 female under 10 and 1 under 26. Sarah would have been 1 and because we don't have a birth year for Rebecca this could be her. In 1830 the report shows 2 male between 10 and 15 and 2 between 15 and 20. George wouuld have been 16 and William would have been 15. It would be possible to have two other males, maybe twins at 10 that wouldn't have been on the 1820 Census. Also there was 1 male between 40 and 50 with James being 43 at that time. The report shows 4 females less than 5, 1 female betwen 5 and 10 and 1 female between 10 and 15. Sarah would have been 11, Eliza would have been 5 and Melinda would have been 3. It also show 1 female between 30 and 40 with Rebecca about 36. in 1840 the Census report show only 1 male between 50 and 60 and at this time James would have been 53. For females the report shows 4 under age 5, 2 between 5 and 10 and 2 between 10 and 15. Emily would have been less than 1, Narcissa would have been 5, Nancy would have been 8, Melinda would have been 13 and Eliza would have been 15. This accounts for 1 below 4, 2 between 5 and 10 and 2 between 10 and 15. It also shows 1 female 40 to 50 and Rebecca would have been around 46 Next James' grandfather was William Brownlow and his Great grandfather was James Brownlow James named his first son George Washington and his second William Monroe. William Monroe named his first son James Monroe and his second Elias Albert. __________________________________ James Brownlow was among the buyers of the estate sale of Samuel Cherry in Anderson County 9 April, 1840. Also, James was a buyer at the estate sale of John Robinson on 15 Oct. 1841. Both of the estate sales were in Anderson Co., SC. Anderson County is a part of Pendleton District. James served as Deputy Sheriff for 40 years in Floyd County. He fought in the War of 1812 and the Creek War, moving to Calhoun Co., Georgia in 1838, and on to Floyd C., Georgia where he resided for many years before his death.

He was the son of John Brownlow, the Revolutionary Soldier. He moved, along with his family, to Pendleton District, South Carolina, in 1801. There he married Rebecca Cross sometime around 1810. He served in the war of 1812 and in the Creek War. In 1838 he moved his family to Floyd County, Georgia, where he was a deputy sheriff for many years. He lived there until his death on February 15, 1876. He is buried in Myrtle Hill Cemetery in Rome, Floyd County, Georgia. His obituary stated that he was the father of thirteen children.

BROWNLOW 119B-141B-142A Notes for JAMES BROWNLOW: More About JAMES BROWNLOW: Burial: Myrtle Hill Cemetery, Rome, Georgia Occupation: Deputy Sheriff-Rome, Georgia ________________________________________________________________________________________ From Find a Grave Birth: unknown Death: Feb. 16, 1876 James "Jimmy" Brownlow was born about 1788, in Chatham County, Georgia. He was the son of John Brownlow, the Revolutionary Soldier. He moved, along with his family, to Pendleton District, South Carolina, in 1801. There he married Rebecca Cross Oct. 22, 1833. He served in the war of 1812 and in the Creek War. In 1838 he moved his family to Floyd County, Georgia, where he was a deputy sheriff for many years. He lived there until his death on February 15, 1876. He is buried in Myrtle Hill Cemetery in Rome, Floyd County, Georgia. His obituary stated that he was the father of thirteen children. All but two of them were daughters and very little is know about them. (From the Rome Tri-Weekly issue of Feb. 17, 1876) Obituaries of James Brownlow James Brownlow - It becomes our duty to cronicle the death of old Uncle Jimmie Brownlow, one of our oldest and most respected citizens who died about 9oclock yesterday morning (The next few words are unreadable but it looks like at 88 years) of age. He served in the war, of 1812 and then again in the Creek war, and was a Pensioner. Although he could not write his name he served about 40 years as a Deputy Sheriff and constable, and was never ruled in any case nor. was he ever required to give reason for not obeying an order or serving a paper. He had been a consistent member of the Baptist church some 28 years in short, He was an honest man, a good man, and lived and died without an enemy. His remains will be buried this evening. Peace be to his ashes. (From the Feb. 23, 1876 issue of the Rome Weekly Commercial) James Brownlow - The Honest, familiar face of the good old man will be seen no more in thi(s) world. Wednesday morning he departed this life, full of years and with a record of honesty, frugality and purity of life and purpose, that the best and the greatest would not be ashamed of. For forty years he has gone in and out before our people, always in quest of duty, and always avoiding offence. Nearly half of his long life has been spent in official duty, either as sheriff or bailiff. He was a constable in South Carolina when the war of 1812 began. He served as a private soldier in that war. From the best information that can be obtained he died in his 90th year. He was the father of thirteen children, only three of whom survive him. He has seventy-four grand children. He has lived(been?) a consistent exemplary member of the Baptist church for over 30 years. His last hours illustrated his earnest faith in his Redeemer, his humble trust in the goodness and mercy of God. His last prayers were full of touching, yea, eloquent pathos and caused those near him to breathe the prayer of David Oh, that I might die the death if the righteous. Mr. Brownlow was born in Pendleton District, South Carolina. He removed to Georgia in the year 1838, and has been a resident of this county for 37 years. His children were, George Washington Brownlow, William Monroe Brownlow, Sarah (Brownlow) Johnston, Eliza (Brownlow) Smith, Melinda (Brownlow) Pogue, Nancy Amanda (Brownlow) Bean, Narcissa (Brownlow) Dunn, Emily(Brownlow) Beard.

| 953 | The widow Sarah McClain Hodges, her children, & parents migrated to the Republic of Texas (Houston County). Went to The Republic of Texas by 1837 with her parents and siblings and eventually migrated to Leon and Limestone Co., Texas. The last account of Sarah McClain Hodges was when she was listed as a War of 1812 widow in Limestone County, Texas in the 1883 SENATE EX. DOCUMENT #84. Sarah McClain Hodges, received a 2nd Class land grant for 1,280 acres issued to those who arrived in the republic after March 2, 1836 but prior to October 1, 1837. Sarah's father, William McClain, her son Abel, and son-in-law Robert Chapman also received land grants. | McClain, Sarah (I5273)

| 955 | This is a Message Board Post. Author: KarylonRussell44 Surnames: Hodges, Hallmark, Rutherford, Collins http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.texas.counties.houston/224.548.1169.1170.1.1.1.2.2.1.1/mb.ashx I am a descendant of Edmond Hodges' youngest child, Sarah, who was called Sallie. Although some state her middle name was Rutherford, I have found NO PROOF of that as of this time. One reason WHY she is often omitted in the list of children for Edmond is because she was born a few months AFTER HE DIED in Hardeman Co. TN. When her mother, siblings, came to Texas, they settled in Houston Co., where Sarah first met the Hallmark family. She married James Minet Charles Pierson Hallmark, called JIM, probably in Houston Co., where records were lost, around 1849. Sarah Hodges, the mother, is living in her home on the census there in 1850, probably because the daughter was in the last stages of pregnancy with her first child. The son was born late in 1850 in Houston Co.--Richard Edmond Hallmark, called ED later on. The Hallmarks were still in Houston Co. when State took the Scholastic Census around 1855, but they soon joined other relatives where the father, Richard Hallmark, and some of the Ruthefords, had moved on Hallmark land granted him in Bastrop Co. This land, however, was at the very TIP of the diamond-shaped county, and right on the county line of Caldwell, Gonzales, and Fayette, plus very near Lavaca Co., around JEDDO. In 1860, the James Hallmark family is found in Lavaca Co. TX living NEXT DOOR to Sarah's brother, Jacob Mickler Hodges and family. Tax rolls and deeds there show the Hallmarks only stayed there about 3 years, before returning to Bastrop Co. The census taker in 1860 must have had a hearing problem, as the family is listed under James DALMARK, and there are many errors in regard to some of the family's children, with both names and correct sex. At least by 1865, James M. Hallmark and family joined other family members in Bell County, where Richard Hallmark had also received land grants on Coryell/Bell lines---today on land NOW inside Ft. Hood, around Sugarloaf Mountain. It was here in 1866 that my ggrandfather, William Andrew Jackson JACK Hallmark was born. Deeds and tax records show the family left Bell Co. in the late 1860's, but WHERE they went from there is not known UNTIL they show up on very early Limestone Co. TX records. Sarah died in Limestone Co. around 1876, and she is buried in the Faulkenberry Cem. out of Grosbeck, with some members of the Rutherford family. Sarah and James Minet had 10 children, 8 boys, 2 girls. ALL lived to be quite old, except for one girl who died in childbirth at a young age. He had 3 sons by his second wife. The family is shown in 1880 Limestone Co. TX, the same county as other members of the Hodges and Rutherford Counties. In the early 1880's, some of Hetty & Lindsey Rutherford's sons had taken up land in Llano Co. on the Llano River. James moved his family up near them, only he took up land on the north side of the river, whereas others were on the south side. Also coming as James Dillon Collins, now the husband of Martha Jane Rutherford, the dtr. of Hetty and Lindsey, whose land was also on the south side of the river. James Minet Hallmark DIED there around 1895, being buried in the Pennington Cem., on Pennington Creek, a tributary of the Llano River on the north side. James Dillon Collins is also buried there, but floods prevented his body from being buried next to his wife, Martha, who is in a small cemetery on the south side of the river. To complicate matters, daughter, Lydia Ann Parthena Collins, married son of James Minet and Sarah Hallmark--Wm. Andrew Jackson, my ggrandparents. Lydia and young daughter Hetty were visiting family around Leon/Limestone Co. line near Thornton in the late 1890's when they took sick and died. Both are buried in the Tidwell Cem. NEXT TO family of Jacob Mickler Hodges and his Rutherford wife. It is interesting that the old mother, SARAH HODGES, is listed TWICE in the 1850 Census for Houston Co.--in both the home of Abel Hodges and Sarah Hodges Hallmark. This was not that uncommon, however, and it is my feeling that she normally lived with Abel, but had briefly gone to be with Sarah pending the birth of her first child. Unfortunately, although pension records indicate the old Mother did NOT die until around 1880, she has NOT been found on any other census roll since 1850. James Minet and Sarah also seem to have completely MISSED being enumerated in 1870, but correspondence in the mother's pension indicate she rotated around among relatives the rest of her life.

| 958 | Thomas Ephraim Hunter was a son of Henry Jesse Hunter (b.1832 AL d.1885 TX) and Nancy Angeline Jeter (b.1834 GA d.1929 OK). The family was living in Union County, Arkansas when Thomas was born. Sometime before 1860, the family moved to the area of Marion, Union County, Louisiana. In 1862, Thomas' father enlisted in the 25th Louisiana Infantry of the Confederate Army. After the war, sometime before 1870, they moved to the Mount Pleasant area of Titus County, Texas. Sometime during the 1870s they moved to McLennan County, Texas. Thomas married Amanda Roxanna Carter on Sept. 12, 1877 (license acquired in Coryell County). In September 1878, their only child, Artie Belle, was born (probably in McLennan County). From then on, Thomas E.'s and Amanda's story was linked with Artie. Artie married Thomas B. Thompson on Aug. 12, 1896 in McLennan County. Soon after, Thomas Hunter and wife accompanied Artie and her husband in a move to Van Zandt County, Texas. Amanda's sister Belle Carter Cary and husband Brook moved with them, as well as T.E.'s brother John R. Hunter. Artie gave T.E. and Amanda two grandchildren in 1902 and 1905. Then, Artie became very ill. T.E. and Amanda moved with T.B. and Artie to Dallas about 1907 so that Artie could be near doctors. While there, in 1908, Artie had her last child. It became apparent Artie was not going to recover from her illness (pellagra). About 1910, Thos. E. and wife moved with Artie and T.B. to Caddo Mills in Hunt County. Artie died there in 1913. Thos. E. and Amanda continued to live with T.B. Thompson and his children until Amanda herself died in 1917. Before her death, they had made yet another move to Branch in Collin County. After his wife's death, Thos. E. would go each year to West Texas to pick cotton and also to sell salve which he made himself. He died April 18, 1928 in the home of his granddaughter Katrean.

A couple of the family trees on ancestry.com list his mother's name as Sallie (Anna Belle)Vedell Cary. If anyone knows if I have this son with the correct or incorrect parents, please let me know so I can make the corrections. | Cary, Wade Thomas (I5717)

| 970 | Tyson Nealy Hardy, also known as Tice, was born 22 October 1905 to William Thomas Hardy and Willie May Johnson in Chilton, Falls County, Texas. In 1924 Tice met and married Lillian Inez Betz. They had one son, Clarence Wendell Hardy, September 6th, 1925. He was accused of murder in 1926 after a tragic mishap between friends on a fishing trip at the Brazos River near Horseshoe Bend, Falls County, Texas. There are several newspaper articles on the case and at one point the father and brother of the young man that disappeared, shot at Tice in the court room. There has been nothing found about how the trial ended but it is assumed that without a body there wasn't much to go on for the prosecution. Tice took his family to Sweetwater, Texas where they had another son, Allen Ray Hardy, March 30th, 1930. In October 1934 Tyson met and married a young girl, Zada Latham, 19 years old of Big Springs, Texas. They had a baby girl, Wynona Mae Hardy born February 2, 1935. Tice moved to California and worked as a ranch hand. In 1939 he met Lora Mae (Meler) Jeter who was on a trip from New Mexico to California with her brother Tom. She was from Washita Oklahoma and they married in Yuma, Arizona then moved to New Mexico where Lora was a teacher. Tice registered for military in 1940 in New Mexico and worked in a defense plant. Tice and Lora moved to Ventura California and he worked in real-estate for 15 years. Tice suffered a series of strokes and died November 15th, 1981. Tyson and Lora share a headstone in Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, Ventura, Ventura County, California but she actually moved back to New Mexico after several medical issues and married Dean Hester in 1987. Dean had several strokes and in 1995 Lora's cancer returned and she died in 1997. | Hardy, Nealy Tyson (I4648)
