18011 I18177  Morris  Jesse  Abt 1828  Abt 1866  0  Jesse Morris, age 22, was living in Sabine Parish, LA, next to Martin and mary Garlington at the time of the 1850 census. Living in the Garlington household were Marys' three children from her first marriage, to Cary Morris. According to Conveyance and Succession records filed in Sabine Parish, Louisiana Martin Y and Mary Garlington were appointed to administrators to the succession of deceased Jesse Morris. (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 81). It is therefore assumed that Jesse is also a son of Mary Cook, the widow of Cary Morris who later married Martin Garlington.  STR06

Katheryn Hanks Perry, a former San Augustine resident wrote, "My mother was Vera (MILLER) Hanks and her mother was Mittie (CROUCH) Miller, a sister to Laurena. Since my grandmother died when her children were quite small, her sisters became surrogate mothers to her three little girls. The story Uncle Johnny's decision to become a doctor has long stood in our family as a sterling example of determination and strong will. As Mother always told it, Uncle Johnny had a burning desire to become a doctor, which meant four years of studying in St. Louis. In the early years of the 20th century, he discussed in with Aunt Laurena, and she said 'Do it Johnny, we can make it.' They lived on a farm west of San Augustine and had seven children. Since he could be home during the summer, the plan was that he and the boys would put in the crop and begin the harvest, before he had to leave each fall for St. Louis. Many local people scoffed at such a fiasco, since he would be 40 years old when he started practicing, that age was considered near death. As you know, he practiced for over 40 years." 		 STR06

18036 I2060  Morris  Shadrach H.  12 Dec 1790  19 Jan 1864  0  White and Toole write that he "Rec'd a large Mexican grant of land in 1835, and gave 200 acres upon which Sabinetown was built, but in 1850 he is listed on the Sabine Parish (Many), Louisiana U.S. Census. Served in the War of 1812 from Louisiana." (White and Toole, p 63).

The Sabinetown Cemetery index lists his service as taking place with the Kentucky Pvt 10 Regt LA Militia War of 1812.

Kathy Casagranda notes that he is believed by some to be the son of Gideon Morris. He received 2,915 acres of land from a Mexican Land Grant on June 17, 1835. The Historical Marker in Sabinetown names him among the earliest settlers. (1850 Sabine Parish Census, p 78). Ann McElhaney does not think that he a son of Gideon Morris, as detailed in her notes below.

Ann McElhaney,annmclpc@aol.com, a descendant of Shadrach's son Amon Perry Morris, supplied the following biographical notes about Shadrach and Mary Morris:

Shadrach H Morris says on the census register that he was born in Kentucky. We know he was in Louisiana during the War of 1812.

Bettye Wagstaff has a census note of a census in LA in 1810 that is handwritten which she may have had for many years which lists: Shadrack Morris, 1-male under 5, 1-male 5-10, 1 male 30-40, 2 females under 5, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 20-30 Other information says Bib Creek, waters of the Tangipoha River, now Tangipahoa Parish, LA

84 Washington Parish 1810:
Shadrack Morris: 1 male 10-15, 1 male 80-90; 1 femail 10-15; 1 female 40-50 lived in the area of Sunny Hill and present day Mt. Herman, LA Shadrach H Morris is likely out of the house as he was old enough to fight shortly thereafter in the War of 1812.

We are told that he married Mary Sarah Nelson in Mississippi in 1822.

In 1820 Washington Parish, LA:
W.H. Morris: between the ages of 16-26 has a wife and two sons and a daughter
Wm Wadkins(Watkins)-father of Alfred J L Watkins who marries Mary Drucilla Kemp(parents of Mary Ann Watkins who will marry Amon Morris
Berry Wadkins(Watkins) brother to Alfred

In 1820 on the East Baton Rouge, LA census: Shadrach Morris _ _ _ 2 1 /no females. This would be Shad Sr, then Shad jr either lives with him at this time with one other 26-45 male or Shad jr is somewhere else and two brothers are at home. The following is possible: In the county next to Baton Rouge is Iberville Parish. In Iberville there is a Martin Nelson with a daughter the age of Mary Sarah Nelson. There are no other Nelsons in the area, that possibly this is how they met. Perhaps our information is incorrect and they married in LA or perhaps these Nelsons moved to Mississippi and Shad followed in hot pursuit to marry Sarah Nelson.

In 1830 I believe this is our Shadrach in Washington Parish, LA. The other Morris listed nearby are likely brothers as well as the Shadrach Sr who could be our Shad's father:

Thomas is 20-30


Shadrack Morris Sr. 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
Shadrack M Sr is between 80-90-which does exactly jive with the info on the 1810 census

I am not certain that this completely demonstrates that Shad is not the son of Gideon Morris of Morristown, Tenn, but it is better evidence than anything else I am aware of us having. Gideon had a son named Shadrach, but we know he did not come south. Furthermore, the Morrisville folks deny there is any evidence that our Shad belongs to Gideon's group. There is some indication that there may be a connection between our Shad and Hamon Morris of Hamblen County, Tenn. Nevertheless if Shad said he was from Kentucky, that is all we have to go on for now. Our Shad could write and his signature is distinct so finding his signature anywhere is helpful.

The Bradford Kemp (1764-1838) listed in this census is most likely the father of Mary Drucilla Kemp who married Alfred J L Watkins.

1840 Natchitoches, LA: Shad and Mary Ann and 9 children. Also close in proximity and in the same Parish: G B(Green Berry) Watkins; A L(Alfred, Mary Ann's father)Watkins. Possible relations also present: Benjamin Morris-perhaps Shadrach's younger brother; John Nelson-perhaps Mary Sarah Nelson's brother.

In 1850 in Sabine County, Texas: William W. Watkins(who is Green Berry Watkins' son); Amon and family including his mother-in-law, Mary Drucilla Kemp Watkins; Shad and Sarah and family.

The 4 Smith girls who are living with Shad and Mary Sarah Morris are the daughters of Sarah's sister, Elizabeth Nelson who married John D. Smith. Both parents died. Shadrach and Sarah became the court-ordered guardians for the girls.

He had $240 in real property and $4,300 in personal property. Helen Gomer Schluter lists him as the son of Carey Morris and Mary Cook, and notes that he appeared on the 1850 Sabine Parish, LA census #261.

At the time of the 1870 Sabine County census, he was widowed, living with his four year old daughter, Laura. It appears his first wife, Maria Ragan, may have died in childbirth.

At the time of the 1880 Sabine County census, he had remarried Marcella Ragan. He and Marcella had two additional children, William and Winfield.

William and Marcella were still married at the time of the 1900 census, with one additional son, Earnest. William's sister-in-law, Maggie Ragan, is living with them. In 1910, his sister-in-law, Maggie, is still living with he and Marcella, as is their son, Winfield. Their widowed daughter-in-law, Mary Sutton Morris resided with them as well.

Casagranda notes that he was one of the pioneer merchants of Sabine County, Texas that established a business community between 1855 and 1883. He is listed as Sabine County Treasurer from 1893-1896 and was on the board of the University Trustees in 1881. 		 STR06

From 16 July 2914 issue of the Lincoln Journal Star, Courtesy of Dennis Belohlavy

Melvin Dean Motis was born to Frank Motis and Helen Kovanda Motis on June 17, 1939, at Exeter, and passed away on Tuesday, July 15, at Warren Memorial Hospital in Friend, at the age of 75 years.

Mel grew up in Exeter and graduated from Exeter Public High School in 1957. He married Carol Jean Hughes on April 23, 1966, and to them three sons were born; Mike, Doug and Jim.

Following graduation, Mel served in the US Army and competed on the Army Rifle team, before going to work for Burlington Northern Railroad. After a few years he came back to the family farm and continued to farm with his father, raising crops, hogs and cattle until 1984 when the farm economy began to struggle. During this time Mel served for 8 years on the Exeter School board. With three growing boys to feed, Mel was forced to work off the farm at various jobs, including Volkmer Construction, Horizontal Boring and Jacques Seed. In 1988 Mel took a job with Boeing Aviation in Wichita, KS, and worked there until the death of his wife, Carol, in 1993. Mel moved back to the family farm and started M and M Tree Service, which he continued to operate until his health began to fail in 2004. Despite his failing physical strength, Melvin continued to help many neighbors and friends with field work in the spring, and with harvest in the fall. He came to love swathing hay for Jason Oldehoeft, and would never turn down an opportunity to mow hay, a beloved activity he continued until May of this year.

Throughout much of his life, Mel was known for his trap shooting skills, and spent many weekends and weeknights shooting with some of his closest friends. Family vacations often included the State Trap Shoot in Doniphan. Over the years, the mass of trophies, guns and other winnings were enough to fill a whole room. He spent many nights reloading shells after working all day, and would always make it to a shoot the next day, wherever it may be.

Mel was an avid hunter and wildlife lover. Many a time he could be found near his canary grass plot watching the pheasants fly in. Growing up he never missed a hunting season, and he passed that passion on to his three boys. Many winter days he could be found cruising the countryside with all three boys in the truck, looking for pheasant, rabbit or quail. For a little sporting fun, he would even take the boys on an occasional coyote hunt on Sundays, despite missing church services.

Mel was also a devoted sports fan, many Saturdays were spent watching college football with his grandsons, but he was especially proud to watch his grand kids in all their sporting events never missing a chance to attend a football, softball, basketball game or wrestling match.

You could always find Mel at an auction, coin sale, having coffee, or just putting around in the "silver bullet" he refused to quit driving. He spent a lot of time at his grandkids' trap shoots, all of which followed in their granddad's footsteps, taking up an interest in the sport.

He loved the Fillmore County Fair hog show, and you could find him sitting somewhere in the stands. He enjoyed watching Thane, Caroline, Gatlin, and Travien show their pigs, and he would never miss one of their shows, regardless of what else needed to be done. He had the best seat in the house this year having passed on the day of the Fillmore County Fair hog show. He was watching from above as they drove several pigs to champion honors.

In his retirement, Mel found a love of cooking and canning, specializing in pickles, pork and beans, and jaternice, which he was proud to share with family and friends. He spent many hours playing pitch, poker, or any game of chance, and enjoyed riding along on any road trip with the boys, whatever the activity or destination.

Over the years Mel met many people that he was blessed to know, a source of great pride for him. Wherever he went someone knew him.

Mel will be remembered for being just a little bit stubborn and stuck in his ways, maybe a little too quick to complain. But he always said, "If you don't tell someone what they are doing wrong, they won't get better."

Mel was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Helen; wife, Carol; sister, Marlene VanPatte; and brother-in-law William "Blackie" VanPatten.

He is survived by sons, Mike and Brenda, Geneva; Doug and Lori, Exeter; and Jim and Natalie, Geneva; grandsons, Thane, Preston, Colton, Wyatt, Trevian, and Gatlin; granddaughters, Caroline and Toni; brother, Ernest; sister-in-law, Betty Motis; aunt, Clarabelle Smith; and many nieces and nephews. 		 STR06

18087 I5715  Mounts  Mary "Molly" Evelyn  27 Aug 1857  10 Sep 1940  0  Known as "Molly." Her birth position uncertain, she was probably the youngest. She probably had TWO older brothers.

Ken Harvey wrote the following biography of Molly Mounts Gentry based on interviews with her daughter, Grace Ellen Gentry, grandson, Lewis Adair Payne, and other family members. He wrote that Molly was said to have been abducted by her father from his ex-wife and grandparents in West Virginia. The story that has come down is that William J. did not approve of the way they were bringing her up. He had secretly let her know that he was in the area, and she met him at a pre-arranged place. His own armed brothers, who had been on the Confederate side in the war, followed them, but William who had been a Captain on the Union side, was careful to eluded their pursuit. He let it be known that he intended going south on the Mississippi from Memphis. They, father and daughter, did just this and then they quickly backtracked going north at the first steamer wood fuel stop on the river. They arrived in Chicago, presumably by train, "as the great fire was going out"-that would have been just after 8th October 1871; when Mary was fourteen years old.

She later recalled that she had plenty of good clothes [during her three years] living with her father but she was not allowed to have a man touch her stockinged feet-this was considered inappropriate behaviour. He used to make a paper cut-out of his daughter's soles when she needed shoes. He was determined on proper behaviour. She had to walk with her arms straight down her sides and fix her gaze about twenty feet in front of her when walking in the public street.

She became engaged, at about the age of fifteen, to a young man who presented her with a large and beautiful ring. It seems highly likely that this liason had been arranged somehow by her father. One day she saw her fiance riding a horse in a park with another woman. Young Molly became very upset and went up to him. Taking it off her finger she handed the ring back to him saying that "this [marriage] is not going to work!" Her father and she left Chicago shortly afterwards.

William J. had hired a Mrs. Harris to be young Molly's live-in companion in Chicago. Mrs. Harris was a very strict and religious person who was very upset to discover her church minister playing poker with William J. one night after hours in a back room of his saloon. This saloon was somewhere to the south of Chicago. She said she was never going back to his church again. He was very amused about her outraged attitude and his surprising response to his daughter's prim adult companion was to say let us all leave the town.

They all drove off next morning and he just left his saloon business as it was when he closed it down the previous night. He used to laugh all the time about Mrs Harris' reaction to her preacher's infidelity to his supposed ideals-presumably out of her earshot.

Some time later, in the early 1870's, they all wound up in north Texas. It was presumably in Johnson Co. that young Molly set her heart on William Miller Gentry. He was six years older than her.

Molly's father, made it clear that he did not approve of her choice of Will Gentry. Was he aware of Will's probable previous marriage three years previously? He did not, however, interfere when she decided to marry him. Instead he presented the couple with a team of horses and a wagon (four wheels). William J. Mounts drove away from the wedding service in Grayson Co. having made his fairwells. He was evidently very disappointed and apparently rather angry with her choice. Angry enough for he was never to wish to see her again, nor did he.

Molly's grandfather-in-law, William Gentry, was a preacher. Mary had little time for him. It is noticable that he did not marry Molly and Will.

When they were living in Stevens Co., Oklahoma, Molly discovered that a neighbour there had once lived in Chicago. The neighbour's brother, a wealthy man, was still living in that northern city and he always wore a large diamond ring that his young fiance had returned to him when she rebuffed him. He had never married after his loss. It is not known if Molly revealed her extraordinary secret to her Oklahoma neighbour on Wildhorse Creek.

She used to tell a story about a relation of hers who had joined the army just after the Civil War. He had committed some infraction of the military rule book and was walking beside a General following an investigation into the event when he anxiously enquired of his superior, "what happens next?" The General replied, "we shoot at dawn." The comment was clearly not meant to be taken seriously, but it was. The evidently very nervous and highly impressionable young man immediately dropped dead from a severe heart attack.

1900-In the census of 1900 Molly recorded that she had had eight children of whom seven were still alive. This agrees with our list as we know Carrie had died from blood poisoning the previous year.

18088 I5435  Mounts  William J.  30 Aug 1832    0  Ken Harvey wrote the following biography of William Mounts, based on interviews with Grace Ellen Gentry, William's granddaughter, and Lewis Adair Payne, his great grandson, along with other family members. Some minor edits have since been made by Melinda Strong. Additionally, for more information about William J. Mounts and Salinda Galloway's siblings and parents contact Jay Kimmel - plainj@ieee.org

Ken wrote that "William J. Mounts apparently trained as a carpenter and was thought to have attended the University of Virginia in about 1850. Afterwards he was to join the Union cavalry. He quickly became a Captain. Some of his brothers, however, fought on the Confederate side during the Civil War.

William J. Mounts married in about 1854. He later maintained that he was pushed by his parents into what he claimed was an unfortunate relationship with Salinda Galloway, thought to be his step-mother's younger sister. He used to say later that people should not be bred like animals, he apparently considered that this is what had happened to him. When he divorced Salinda after the civil war, his family took Salinda's side-as did most of his own brothers. One of them, George Dobbs Mounts (apparentely a half brother0, however, evidently later maintained contact with him.

The Mount families antagonistic reaction to William J's decision to divorce Salinda was so strong that he claimed that he had to leave his parental home in West Virginia. He took with him daughter Molly, accordingly with her consent, and headed ultimately for Chicago. His training as a carpenter now paid off. He laid a parquet floor in a new saloon there that was being built, for which he was paid $40 a day. This was a small fortune at the time, but carpenters were worth their weight in gold in Chicago after the fire. At the time a labourer earned only a dollar a day. In his woodwork he always drove a nail in at an angle as he was a very careful worker.

Later he purchased or rented a saloon himself and set up business for a year or so.

Father, daughter and live-in companion Mrs. Harris were said to have then moved south to Texas in the early 1870's. After his daughter Mary's was married to Will Gentry in 1872, he went north again.

William J. remarried in about 1879, this time to an educated Indian woman originally from Kentucky whose name is unknown. The marriage probably took place in Arkansas City. He was living in Dewey, OK, at time of his death twenty-six years later. His second wife's former husband was said to have been a fellow Union officer of William J's who was killed in the Civil War. William and she had originally met in Kentucky. There were no children to this marriage.

He was an intellectual type with very high standards. It was said of him, with some hyperbole, that he had voted in twenty states. William J. was a very fastidious dresser. However he apparently had no great strong family feelings. He always seemed to have money when it was needed.

He broke off all contact with his daughter Mary after her marriage to Will Gentry. She heard occasionally about him but she never saw him again, nor is it thought that she ever saw her mother Salinda, although it is possible there was some contact.

In old age he visited Arkansas City in order to get a horse and had a fatal stroke as he returned home to Dewey, Oklahoma. He fell from the buggy and was still clutching the horse's reins when his body was found by locals. His wife was unable to attend the funeral as she may have been ill and the ceremony was too far away from Dewey. His half-brother, George Dobbs Mounts, looked after his funeral arrangements. His funeral director was Undertaker Oldroyd. His son, David, was in San Francisco. Daughter Molly Mounts Gentry didn't hear about the event until someone sent her a newspaper cutting which described his death. She was to say that this was the first time she knew he had been living in Dewey, although in retrospect this is a little hard to believe.

Mary was definitely in contact with both her step-brother James McCoy and her own brother David Mounts. One of them probably sent the newspaper cutting to her in Stephen's Co. Mary said that she knew that her father had been south visiting near her on several occasions but he never actually came to see her. She had been upset by this. He presumably would have heard about where she was even though he appears to have refused to contact her.

She was to say that if he wanted her to have anything of his estate he would have said so and he didn't, so she never made any inquires about the matter." 		 STR06

Mrs. J.C. Corkins

News of the death of Mrs. J.C. Corkins came as a great shock to her many friends and relatives. She passed away at the Morris Hospital early Sunday afternoon after a very short illness.

Lena Elizabeth Muck was born at Cass City, July 9, 1883, and spent her entire life in this community. On March 20, 1912, she was united in marriage to John C. Corkins, who remains to mourn her untimely departure, with five children as follows: Maxine Elizabeth, Jack Calvin, Jean Lewis, Hazel Mae and Shirley Leone. Since her marriage to Mrs. Corkins, a widower with three small children of the ages of five and six years, she performed the duties of mother and helped to guide them along life's pathway until they reached the years of their majority and now she leaves them too to mourn their loss. They are: Helen J. Corkins of Detroit, Ivan W. Corkins of Pontiac and Lucile F. Hewens of Ypsilanti. Mrs. Corkins also leaves three sisters, Mrs. W. F. Joos, and Mrs. E.W. Kercher, both of Cass City, and Mrs. R.E. Graham of Caro; also a host of other relatives and friends.

Mrs. Corkins was a kind and loving wife and mother and was winning in her ways so that friendship's circle was to her a large one.

She was an attendant at the Evangelical church and Sunday School whenever health permitted and was also a member of the Ladies' Aid where she was always a willing worker, and will be greatly missed.

Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon conducted by Rev. C. F. Smith. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the entire community in their great sorrow.

The following from a distant points were in attendance at the funeral: Mrs. Louise and Albert Gassner of Buffalo, N.Y., Mr. and Mrs. George Striffler, J.L. Muck, Mrs. Lorene Muck and daughter, Gloria, all of Lockport, New York, Mr. and Mrs. C.J. Hewens and two little sons of Ypsilanti, Miss Helen Corkins of Detroit and Mrs. and Mrs. Ivan Corkins and little son of Pontiac and other relatives and friends from Detroit and Ypsilanti.
