McClelland honored with diploma
Alma J. Lott McClelland was honored Thursday night by the Hemphill I.S.D. Board of Trustees. Mrs. McClelland has been a volunteer at the Hemphill I.S.D.'s cafeteria for the past nine years-serving ice cream at least two days a week.
The school learned that she had never received her high school diploma because she had to go to work to help her family. She lacked one and one-half credits to obtain her diploma, so Hemphill I.S.D. presented her with an honorary diploma.
Mrs. McClellend's daugther, Nancy Fuller, and granddaughter, Missi Fuller Gibbons, were by her side Thursday night as she received this special recognition.
Hemphill High School Principal Marc Griffin read the following before the diploma was presented:
"In 1939, our country was in a different place than we know it today. Having just stabilized after World War I, then surviving the Great Depression, the United States was at work again. With millions of men away fighting, huge numbers of horrific casualities still lingering from World War I, there was a severe shortage of laborers in a range of jobs from rural to the cities. Women were called on, by necessity, to do work outside the home.....Sabine County was no exception. Many men and women of [that era] dropped out of school as non-completing seniors to either suppor the war effort directly or support their families while the men were away. Alma J. Lott dropped out of high school in October of 1939 to go to work. Her father, Joshua Lott, had returned home from World War I with lung deterioration due to being gassed while held as prisoner of war in France. Hemphill had a sewing room which paid $2 a day for women would go to work for family support. Sewing rooms housed large and dangerous equipment. Certainly there was no air conditioning. Nonetheless, Alma, like millions of other young people from 1935 to 1945 when to work...Alma has lived a life with few regrets. But the one regret she has mentioned numerous times is how she wished she could have graduated from high school...Numerous times, when her family has complained about a "difficult subject" she always told them to 'Hush' (because) if given a chance she would have become a medical doctor. She has been a lifelong reader and has encouraged all those whose lives she touched to always continue to read and learn. She has worked 'around the square' in Hemphill. She has decorated retails windows, done bookkeeping in stores, ordering, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and maintained displays and every other area of retail sales. Later in life, she operated Granny's House, a licensed family home for child care in Hemphill. She insisted on checking every child's report card once they entered school, and if the bus dropped them off she made them do their homework (which she checked) after a healthy snack. Graduating from college was not an option that was ever given [to her daughter and grandchildren] Nancy, Trey or Missi....In 2001...the federal legislature formally recognized those high school seniors who interupted their own education to contribute to the U.S.'s economic support...They gave the states the right to return the privilege of graduation to those young men and women show left high shool during the time of war and economic depression....."

Per Mary Fisher, Robert Lott, husband of Sarah Tyner, was murdered the 21st March 1843, as reported in the Columbus Georgia Enquirer, 5th April 1843. The McArthurs that were members of the Copeland gang were related to him throught the Lotts. In the book on James Copeland he states the murder happened in March 1844, but this was recorded while he was waiting to be hung in 1857. They had also planned to kill another man.
The affidavit of Richard Eugene Blackburn also refers to the murder. He stated that "Dorinda "Rendy" Lott's father was Robert Lott whose homeplace was situated on the local road a few hundred feet North of where the new Highway 98 bridge crosses Black Creek. This bridge is about halfway between Columbia and Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The old Robert Lott homeplace is only a few miles from where I reside and I have been to this old place many times. As I previously stated, Robert Lott was murdered by the Copeland Gang, robbed and his body thrown int the "Bob Lott" hole on Black Creek, a short distance from his home. His neighbors recovered his body and he was buried on a hill close by the road, just a few hundred feet North of his old home, which site can still be identified by the remains of the old dug well. . .The William McGrews and James Edmondsons lived near each other on Bouie river and were members of the Providence Baptist Church. I have been told that Robert Lott was a wealthy man for his day and that after his death, and during the settlement of his estate the brothers-in-law had an arguement over the division and that feelings ran high between them and finally the deacons of the church had to intercede and they suceeded in restoring the friendship between the two brother in laws and their families. I have been told there are several references to this on old records of the church."
Wayne Page (pagewayne1@aol.com) emailed, on June 21, 2008, that Robert Lott was the son of John A. Lott and Sarah "Sallie" Lightfoot.

Jon Eastman Hardwick writes that Nancy Mahota Love was the eldest child of Thomas Love and his Chickasaw wife Homahota. The Love family was a prominent Chickasaw Indian family that early acquired an English surname by reason of intermarriage.
Viki Anderson writes that "The Love family was possibly the largest of the mixed-blood families in the Chickasaw Nation and second only to the Colbert family in service to the Chickasaw Nation. Thomas Love was my ggggg grandfather. He was a refugee Tory from Virginia who settled among the Chickasaw in 1782. After his father William Love ("English Bill") had been killed, Thomas said that he took off through a briarpatch and made his lifesaving escape.
He led a quiet existance. He was described in July, 1875 as "a person of high esteem". He assisted in marking the Creek-Chickasaw boundary in 1796. Another countryman, John McIntosh, appointed him administrator of his estate in 1803. He was still living in 1818 and apparently died about 1830.
Thomas had two wives; his first wife, was Sally Colbert, half breed Chickasaw, daughter of James Logan Colbert. His second wife was a full-blood Chickasaw woman named Emahota. Following the Chickasaw tradition of the husband becoming a member of the wife's family, he became a member of the house of In-cun-no-mar. Thomas fathered eight sons and five daughters.
Emahota was born in 1791. She sold land in Marshall County, Mississippi on April 8, 1836. She was listed on the 1840 LaFayette County census. She removed to Indian Territory in November, 1844. The 1847 census lists her as half white, head of household, consisting of one male over 18 and 2 females over 16. She died at Burneyville on September 25, 1873.
Sons: Henry, Isaac, Benjamin, Slone, Robert Howard, Samuel, William, and Thomas
Daughters: Delilah (married a Mitchell, then John B. Moore), Betsy (married James Allen), Sally (married James T. Gaines), Nancy Mahota (married James M. Boyd), and Lucinda (married Samuel A. Colbert)
By the 1820's, most of the Love family were living in a prosperous farming community located about six miles southwest of the present town of Holly Springs, MS. In 1826, a Presbyterian missionary located a station they called Martyn Station near Henry Love's home which stood at the crossing of two Indian trails near Pigeon Roost Creek. Many of the family's children attended school there.
Thomas died in 1830.
Seven of his sons became Chickasaw leaders, particularly during and after the removal to Indian Territory."

Richard Allen Colbert wrote to Viki Anderson that Sally's father, James Logan Colbert "was born in America, on Plumtree Island in North Carolina to be more precise. If you don't believe me, would you believe James Colbert himself. On July 25, 1783, he sent letter to Governor Harrison of Virginia stating that he was "born" in America." I do not have a copy that I can send via computer, but it is located in the "Calendar of Virginia State Papers and other Documents," from January 1, 1782, to Dec. 31, 1784, Vol. III) (Richmond: Sherwin McRae, 1883), pp. 513-515. In addition, when James Colbert spent the summer of 1783 at Long Island on the Holston River with Malcolm McGee and the chiefs of the Chickasaw Nations to discuss peace terms with John Doone and Joseph Martin of Virginia, John Donne wrote a letter to General James Wilkenson, and said: "from his education and mode of life, being bred among the Indians from his infancy ...." QUESTION: How could this happen? ANSWER: His father was a Chickasaw Indian trader and took him to live among the Chickasaws after his real mother died. Father's name was William Colbert. He began trading with the Chickasaws in 1722. Also, in the Draper Collection of Manuscripts, Lyman C. Draper interviewed Malcolm McGee. McGee was asked to describe several of the Indian traders he knew. He described them by their Nationality, i.e., ADAIR-Irish, BUBBY-English, BUCKLES-English, HIGHTOWER-Dutchman, COLBERT-Carolinian. Note: McGee did not say Colbert was a "Scotsman." He said he was a "Carolinian." Also note that McGee was once married to Elizabeth Oxberry Harris, daughter of Christopher Oxberry and Molly Colbert. If anyone should know where James Colbert was born, it would be McGee." - Richard Allen Colbert to Viki Anderson, Jan 6, 2001
On her website, Viki Anderson writes "He (James Logan Colbert) married three Chickasaw wives and had nine children: seven sons and 2 daughters. He lead his life as an Indian trader, interpreter and leader of men during a time in history which was a turbulent struggle for land and new opportunity.
James and his Chickasaw followers harassed, frustrated, and repelled the Kings Enemies, patrolling the river country against invasion. French, Spanish, British, and Americans all courted the Chickasaw who skillfully played one against the other. The Chickasaw had begun to divide politically with one group showing favoritism toward the Spanish and the other lead by James Colbert staying loyal to the British. In 1781, James Logan Colbert lead an attack on Ft. Jefferson, an American military post erected in 1780 by George Rogers Clark on Chickasaw lands without Chickasaw permission. The siege lasted 5 days, but the Americans held the fort. James was wounded three times in the encounter. The Americans abandoned the fort in June of 1781.
After the British lost the American Revolution and the Anglo-Spanish War in Florida, they abandoned their colonization of the Mississippi Valley. The pro-British Chickasaw were not about to embrace the Spanish who claimed the territory between the mouth of the Yazoo River and the Ohio. They instead transferred their allegiance to the Americans. By 1782, according to some reports, there were almost three hundred whites and possibly a hundred blacks living in Chickasaw country, many of them Loyalist refugees from a failed rebellion at Natchez. James Colbert fashioned these men into a band of resistance fighters near Chickasaw Bluffs, assaulting Spanish boats on the Mississippi. A group of 150 Loyalists and 200 Indians attacked Spanish commerce on the river. The raids climaxed in 1782 with the capture of a boat carrying Se?ora Nicanora Ramos, the wife of Governor Cruzat of Saint Louis near present day Memphis. She was well treated and released after 22 days.
James first wife was a full-blood Chickasaw. They had a daughter,?b? ?/b?Sally . His second wife also was full-blood Chickasaw. They had several children: William, George, Levi, Joseph, and Samuel. His third wife was a half-blood Chickasaw. They had two children; James Holmes and Susan. James brought up his half-blood children as Indians. It is ironic that while James spent a good deal of his adult life seeking the Indian ways, his children would raise their children in the white mans culture, sending them to schools to become well educated. They became shrewd businessmen and leaders who exerted tremendous influence in Chickasaw councils well into the nineteenth century. In December, 1783, James died en route home from Pensacola in a fall from his horse. Some people believed that Caesar, the slave that returned home to tell the tale, had killed him."

He was also listed in Captain Cotton's Company of the Sabine County, Texas Infantry. (Ref: Texas Confederate Troops" published 1966, by Historical and Genealogical Publishing Company, Independence, California).
At the time of the 1860 census, he was married to an Elizabeth, born circa 1840, and they had a one year old son named William.
He was in Captain Cotton's Company of the Sabine County, Texas Infantry. (Ref: Texas Confederate Troops" published 1966, by Historical and Genealogical Publishing Company, Independence, California).
Came to Texas before 1860, settling in Sabine County. His mother Lydia Loving also came with them. They sought refuge in Fort Jessup during the Run-away-scrape. Manuel Loving received a land grant in Sabine County on the Sabine River in the Isla community, and his descendants still live there; although the waters of the Toledo Reservoir have covered most of the land grant. There is a letter written by him in the Blake collection on Aug. 22, 1849, from Fannin County, Texas, to Mr. A.H. Weir, Esq. in Milam. The letter states that he is accompanied by Capt. Titus and 125 Old Indian Fighters, and they are searching for minerals above the Red and Washita rivers. He mentions his son, William, and states that he hopes to be home by November. He also joined the gold rush in California. (White and Toole, p 35).
Leatha Betts shared the following article, found by Suzanna Els Edwards. Both are descendants of Manuel Walton Loving, (the old man).
Fatal Affray in Sabine County. On Monday last, as a Mr. Lovin was returning from Milam to his residence in Sabine Conty, in company with his son William and nephew, (note:probably Adam Ard)...he fell in with a youth named Hoffman, at or near the Patroon bridge. Loving soon commenced abusing Hoffman by calling him, among other names, a theif. Young Hoffman (?John?) remarked to the old man that his being drunk alone saved him from a whipping, and turned to speak to William Lovin when the old man drew a pistol on him and fired, the ball penetrating his body. Hoffman staggered back, with his rifle in his hand, when he received two other shots, one in the neck--supposed to have been fired by the young Lovins. He then raised his rifle, and fired at old Lovin, (who was running) shooting him through the body and killing him instantly. The report of the several guns having alarmed Hoffman's family who resided near the spot--several persons came to his relief and the fight ended. At last accounts Hoffman was still alive. The two Lovin's have been arrested. -- San Augustine Herald
