The Washingtons. Volume 2

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the second volume of a comprehensive history that traces the “Presidential line” of the Washingtons. Volume one began with the immigrant John Washington who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and was the great-grandfather of President George Washington. It continued the record of their descendants for a total of seven generations. Volume two is a collection of notable descendants of the next eight generations of John and Anne Washington’s descendants, including such luminaries as General George S. Patton, the author Shelby Foote, and the actor Lee Marvin. Future volumes will trace generations eight through fifteen, making a total of over 63,000 descendants. Although structured in a genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no bare bones genealogy but a true family history with over 1,200 detailed biographical narratives. These in turn strive to convey the greatness of the family that produced not only The Father of His Country but many others, great and humble, who struggled to build that country. The Washingtons includes the time-honored John Wright line which in recent years has been challenged largely on the basis of DNA evidence. Volumes one and two form a set, with a cumulative bibliography appearing at the end of volume two.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWilliam Preston Longley (1851-1878) went on a murderous rampage over the last few years of his life. Once he was arrested in 1877, and subsequently sentenced to hang, his name became known statewide as an outlaw and a murderer. Longley created and reveled in his self-centered image as a fearsome, deadly gunfighter. In truth, Longley was not the daring figure that he attempted to paint.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTexans are fiercely proud of their “Lone Star” flag. It has flown from foxholes, been displayed at military bases around the world, and even been to space. Most Americans don’t even know that the state has had a grand total of fifty-nine different flags over the course of its great history. Texas and Her Fifty-Nine Flags explores the standards for a different approach to a history of Texas. Throughout each chapter, the author provides a story taken from history texts, research and anecdotes collected during his teaching and travels, which took fifteen years. This unique history of Texas will captivate the reader from the first Spanish flag through revolutions and pirates, to the “Bonnie Blue Flag” of the Civil War.

The number of farms in 1910 was 891, while in 1900 there were 921 farms enumerated. Stock raising was considerably more important then field crops.

About 20,000 trees were in orchard fruits, and the growing of figs and pecans has received most attention in tropical fruits and nuts. Jasper County This is one of the original counties of the Texas republic. Its area was included in the De Zavala empresario grant of 1829, though settlement had begun previously. In the Texas Almanac for 1858, George W. Smyth, who had lived in that vicinity since 1830, said that when he came there was a settlement of about thirty families scattered from the Sabine to the Neches and known as "Bevil's settlement," from John Bevil, the original settler. A wilderness of forty miles separated that settlement from the "Ayish Bayou settlement" near San Augustine, while it was seventy miles to the "Cow Bayou settlement" on the south. In this account the first comers were named John Bevil, James Cheshire, Thomas Watts, John Watts, John Saul, Isaac Isaacs and Hardy Pace, who settled about 1828 or before. In 1830 this settlement was organized as a precinct of the municipality of Nacogdoches. The municipality of San Augustine was constituted in March, 1834, and the municipality of Bevil was probably created in the same year....
