1.   PATRICK (1st of LEDCREICH) STEWART, b. CIRCA 1572 in LAIRD OF GLENBUCKY, BALQUHIDDER PARISH, (son of ALEXANDER (4th of GLENBUCKY) STEWART and STEWART).

     

      The earliest references to the lands of Ledcreich (located on the north shore of Loch Voil in Balquhidder) are in the Medieval Holdings in Balquhidder assigned to William Stewart and Malcolm Maclery in 1480-1487 from the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland (Vol. 9. p566.) In 1502-1507, Ledcreich and other lands of Balquhidder were assigned to William Stewart and his son, Walter Stewart, with the power to have sub-tenants as recorded in the Exchequer Rolls (Vol. 12. p. 635) and from 1508-1513 (Vol. 13. p. 633.) This also seems to be confirmed in the family notes made by his later descendant, Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich in 1763, and published in the American Historical Register, Vol. I (Jan 1895), pp. 441-446.

     

      According to the historical compiler, MacGregor, author of Landed Families of Strathearn, this "Patrick Stewart,"...was..."styled as eldest son to his father in a Bond of Manrent to Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy in 1586. He did not succeed to the lands of Glenbucky but obtained those of Ledcreich and had issue." This also seems to be confirmed in the family notes made by his later descendant, Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich in 1763, and published in the American Historical Magazine; University Press, Volume 8; Date: 1902.

Fifth Generation

 

5.   PATRICK STEWART,[4],[5],[6],[7] b. 7 Feb 1697 in LAIRD OF LEDCREICH, PERTHSHIRE, SCOTLAND, occupation FARMER,[8] d. 1 May 1772 in BLADEN CO., NORTH CAROLINA, buried: 1772 in ST DAVID'S PARISH, CHERAW, SOUTH CAROLINA.[9]

     

      Patrick Stewart and his wife Elizabeth Menzies came to America from Ledcreich in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland with six Argyllshire gentlemen and about 300 Highlanders from Scotland to Cape Fear in North Carolina, in 1739. (Note: the term "gentlemen" as used then denoted those entitled to bear arms). The group called itself the Argyll Colony because Argyll was the shire in western Scotland from which they sailed. They were the vanguard of what began as a trickle and grew into a flood of Highland emigrants to what was then Bladen County, North Carolina, later to be divided into Cumberland, Moore, Robeson, Harnett and Hoke Counties. The colony sailed from Scotland in June 1739. On 6 June, the customs office of Campbeltown, Argyll, cleared the "Thistle" (ship) of passengers for "Cape Fear in America." From Cambeltown, she sailed to Gigha to take on additional passengers and join the "Charming Molly" (ship), cleared at Belfast also to carry part of the colony.

     

      According to the Stewart Clan Magazine (Tome G, Vol. 34, No. 6 [Dec 1956], 177) Patrick sold Ledcreich to John Glas Stewart of Benmore (k. at Culloden, 1746), a younger son of John Stewart of Acharn and father of the three Benmore Stewarts who inherited Glenbuckie in the mid 18th century. It is suspected that by that time Ledcreich was lumped together with the larger Glenbucky estate, it  was part of the land sold by John Lorn Stewart in 1847.

     

      Patrick Stewart and the colony arrived in North Carolina in September and probably spent most of their first winter in or near Newton (soon to be renamed Wilmington) because they had not yet decided on a specific location for settlement. Earlier settlers, mostly from Pennsylvania and Jersey, had already taken up most of the river frontage along the Cape Fear as far up as the mouth of Lower Little River, some twenty miles above Cross Creek. For that reason the Argyll Colonists had to go farther upriver to find available river frontage, the preferred location because, in the absence of roads at the time, the river was the most convenient highway. On 4 and 5 June 1740, some twenty-five men with Highland names were issued patents for a total of 14,000 acres in parcels of varying sizes on both sides of the river as far up as The Forks, the confluence of the Haw and Deep Rivers which form the Cape Fear, about fifty miles above Cross Creek.

     

      In 1740 Patrick Stewart received land grants for 320 acres in Bladen Co., N. Carolina. In 1756 he was granted land on Harnett's Branch, and in 1763 at Brown's Marsh, all in Bladen County. After the Stuarts failed to re-establish themselves on the throne of England and Scotland in 1746,  Patrick is said to have decided to never return to Scotland. On January 18, 1763, he and his son, Charles, wrote down his genealogy. Patrick and his wife Elizabeth later moved following his daughter, Catherine and her husband William Little, to South Carolina at the Cheraws where he died 1772.

     

      The will of Patrick Stewart of St David’s Parish in the Cheraws District of North Carolina, dated 8-May-1772, divided his property among his wife, Elizabeth, son James, daughters Catherine Little and Margaret Caraway, and his grandson Charles Stewart Caraway. The executors were Catherine Little (who in 1774 married John Speed) and Alexander Gordon.

     

      The old written record of the Stewart ancestors which was dictated by Patrick Stewart, former Laird of Ledcreich, Balquhidder, Scotland, on January 18, 1763, and recorded by Patrick's son, Charles, was in the  possession of Patrick's granddaughter, Ann Gist (Ann was the daughter of Patrick's son, James) at the time of her death. Her surviving husband, Gist, sent this original record to Dr Morgan Brown who was married to Patrick Stewart's granddaughter, Elizabeth Little (daughter of Catherine Stewart). It has survived these many years in the Brown family bible and was published in the American Historical Magazine; University Press, Volume 8; Date: 1902.

9.   CATHERINE STEWART, b. CIRCA 1739 in BLADEN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, occupation HOUSEWIFE, d. CIRCA 1789 in RICHMOND CO., NORTH CAROLINA, buried: in RICHMOND CO., NORTH CAROLINA.

     

      Catherine was the first child of Patrick Stewart & Elizabeth Menzies to be born in America. She first married William Little of Edenton, N. Carolina in 1764. They had one daughter, Elizabeth Little, who married Morgan Brown in 1784. Catherine's second marriage in 1774 was to John Speed of Anson County (later in 1779, this part of Anson County was  named Richmond County east of the Pee Dee River), North Carolina. From early records of St David’s Parish in Cheraw, SC, which is just twenty miles south of Rockingham, Richmond County, NC, John Speed is listed in 1778 as a vestryman of the parish. This marriage produced the next direct Speed descendants, James Stuart Speed, Sarah Speed, Catherine Speed, and Martha Patsy Speed. James later settled in Montgomery Co., Tennessee.

 

      She married (1) WILLIAM LITTLE, JR., married 25 Sep 1764 in CHERAWS, SOUTH CAROLINA, b. 27 Sep 1729 in EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, (son of WILLIAM LITTLE and PENELOPE GALE) d. Oct 1766 in CHERAWS, SOUTH CAROLINA.

     

      WILLIAM: Before William was nineteen, he had developed a weakness for gambling and soon lost the Occanecha estate that he had inherited from his late father. The man who won these and other lands around the Roanoke River from William was Robbin Jones. William also lost lands along the Pee Dee River on which the town of Snead's Borough (also known as Snead's Ferry) was formed. On his way toward Halifax after losing his land on the Pee Dee, he met a man by the name of Goleman Kimbrough, who with his daughter, were moving to South Carolina. He decided to travel with the man and his daughter because he was so struck by her beauty. He later married her and bought and settled on a tract of land on the Pee Dee River at the mouth of Hicks' Creek including the principal town of Cheraw, South Carolina. His father-in-law lived on the same tract of land with them. There he prospered gowing indigo.

     

      After his first wife died, William lived as a widower for seven or eight years, after which he met Catherine Stewart and married her. Catherine was twenty-six when she married William Little. Family records indicate that Catherine immediately reformed William of his weakness for gambling and lovingly accepted into their home his daughter from his first marriage. The daughter, Sarah, was about nine years old at the time William and Catherine married.

     

      Soon after his second marriage, William began to decline in health from something referred to then as "black jaundice or black bile." By the early 1800's this disorder was called "dyspepsia." His health continued to deteriorate until his death in September of October of 1766. When William died, he had considerable debt, but Catherine who was the sole administratrix, paid off all debts he estate owed in three or four years. It was a tedious undertaking and required her to make one or two trips to Charleston South Carolina, Cape Fear, and Edenton, North Carolina.

 

                             Children:

            22.     i      ELIZABETH LITTLE b. 14 Nov 1765.

 

      She married (2) JOHN SPEED, married Jul 1774 in CHERAW DISTRICT, SOUTH CAROLINA, b. CIRCA 1745 in NORTH CAROLINA, (son of WILLIAM SPEED and ELIZABETH) occupation FARMER & LAND APPRAISER,[14] d. 18 Feb 1806 in RICHMOND CO., NORTH CAROLINA, buried: 1806.

     

      JOHN: John Speed was a captain and later a lieutenant colonel during the American Revolutionary War and served in the Richmond County, North Carolina Militia (formerly part of Anson County). Captain John Speed was wounded at the Battle of Stono Ferry, South Carolina on June 20, 1779. Stono Ferry was about eight miles west of Charleston on James Island in the Stono River. The State Records of North Carolina found in the North Carolina Archives reflect that Captain Speed of the North Carolina Militia was listed as wounded in the "Return of the Killed, Wounded, and Missing in the Action of Stono Ferry, 20th June 1779."  In the North Carolina Archives, there are two Revolutionary War pension applications for veterans who served under Captain John Speed. From these and other archive records, it was learned that Captain John Speed served under Colonel Thomas Crawford.

     

      From early records of St David’s Parish in Cheraw, SC, which is just twenty miles south of Rockingham, Richmond County, NC, John Speed is listed in 1778 as a vestryman of the parish. 1779 Jury List Records for Cheraws District of S. Carolina list John Speed as both a Grand Juryman and Petit Juryman in Civil Causes. Other references to John Speed are found in Stewart-Stuart Family history book (R929.125 B66 V.14). In the Stewart family history, John Speed is noted as marrying Catherine Stewart in 1774 (this was her second marriage). The common use of the Stewart/Stuart name was reflected in numerous descendants thereafter. Anson Co., N. Carolina deeds and abstracts (1756-1786) refer to John Speed several times.

     

      On April 21, 1784, John Speed took his seat in the North Carolina General Assembly representing Richmond County. He is listed in the 1790 U.S. Census of Fayette District of Richmond County, North Carolina. John Speed died 18 February 1806. His obituary  was published in the early North Carolina newspaper, "The Raleigh Register": "Died in Richmond County, on the 18th ult. of the smallpox, Colonel John Speed, a respectable citizen, who has frequently represented that county in the General Assembly of this State." The North Carolina Archives records reflect that James Stewart Speed was the administrator of his father's estate in Richmond County.

During the start of the American Revolution, he received an appointment of captain in the Minute Men of North Carolina and fought bravely at the battle of Moor's Creek Bridge, above Wilmington, against the Tories under McLeod and McDonald.  But afterwards, he took offense at either the American cause or some of the officers in the American service, and resigned his commission and joined the British Army where he received an appointment as captain in the Queen's Rangers. He spelled his name Stuart, but his brother Duncan, who was favorable to the colonial cause, refused to spell his name the same as Patrick. "Patrick was progenitor of Captain Madison Bachelor of Vicksburg, Mississippi, who is representative of that family, being great-great-grandson of Patrick," 1891. reference: Stewart Clan Magazine, Vol.XIV, No.2, Beatrice, Neb., August, 1936. Patrick died before the close of the war.

      

       Although, Patrick never married he did have a son named, Walter, who was raised by the Stewart family and married in Stewart County, Tennessee. A Jemima Matthews was mentioned in Patrick's will filed in Wilmington, North Carolina.

He was very wealthy, and was a member of the TN legislature. In 1803 part of of Montgomery Co. was set off and named Stewart Co. in his honor.

       In the Montgomery County, Tennessee  1820 census, Morgan Brown is listed as Head of Household.

 

       She married MORGAN BROWN IV,[19] married 22 Jan 1784 in RICHMOND COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, b. 13 Jan 1758 in GRASSY ISLANDS on the PEEDEE RIVER, ANSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, (son of MORGAN BROWN III and ELIZABETH CLOTHIER) d. 23 Feb 1841 in NASHVILLE, DAVIDSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE.

      

       MORGAN: Morgan studied medicine but it is not clear if he ever practiced it. After marrying Elizabeth Little, they moved from Anson County, near Cheraw, South Carolina to Tennessee in 1795. They settled on the Cumberland River where Dr. Brown founded the town of Palmyra, which was made a port of entry, the only one at the time west of the Allegheny mountains. Both of his sons became judges, William as a member of the Supreme Court of Tennessee and Morgan as a judge of the United States District Court of Tennessee. Dr. Brown was an officer in the American Revolutionary War and received a pension from the government until his death.

 

                             Children:

            42.     i      ELIZABETH LITTLE BROWN b. 2 Feb 1792.

                      ii     WILLIAM LITTLE BROWN, b. 1790 in CHERAW, SOUTH CAROLINA.

                            

                             While Judge William Little Brown only served a short time (1822-1824) on the state supreme court, he seemed to have been better known that his brother. His contemporaries at the bar spoke highly of his ability and was said to the most profound lawyer in the State of Tennessee.

 

                             He married MARY McNEIL, (daughter of WILLIAM M. McNEIL and UNKNOWN).

 

            43.     iii     MORGAN W. BROWN b. 1800.

 

23.  JAMES STEWART SPEED, b. 16 Mar 1775 in ANSON COUNTY,  NORTH CAROLINA, occupation FARMER,[20] d. Dec 1816 in MONTGOMERY CO., TENNESSEE, buried: 1816 in MONTGOMERY CO., TENNESSEE.

      

       In an October 1808 Richmond County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions court action, the following heirs of Colonel John Speed, deceased, are mentioned: "James S. Speed, William Peques in right of his wife Sarah (Sally), Elihue Winbourn in right of his wife Catherine, William Michael in right of his wife Martha, who are of full age, and  John M. Speed, Rebecca Speed, Polly Speed, Elizabeth Speed, Wages Speed, who are infant children, and of whom Elizabeth is guardian."

      

       A review of the Richmond County Court records following the death of Colonel John Speed seems to indicate some financial and family strife that began to occur in the years following Colonel John Speed’s death in 1806. These court actions are noted:

      

       1. 1807 (July Term) A judgement entered for Abraham Harper against the estate of John Speed was again brought to Court in March 1809.

       2. 1809 (August Term) James S. Speed vs Elizabeth Speed and Moses Knight

       3. 1809 (September Term) A judgement for McFarland and Ellis vs James S. Speed, William Pegues and (wife) Sally, Elihue Winbourn and (wife) Catherine, William Michael and (wife) Martha Patsy.

       4. 1809 (September) A judgement for Archibald McNeil vs James S. Speed and H.W. Covington.

       5. 1809 (September to December) Philip Horn vs James S. Speed, Serving Administrator; Elizabeth is guardian of named children, heirs at law of deceased John Speed, who are John M. Speed, Rebecca Speed, Polly Speed, Elizabeth Speed, and Wages Speed.

      

       After 1798, more and more of the Stewart, Speed, Brantly, and Brown family members from Bladen,  Anson and Richmond Counties of North Carolina began moving to the Montgomery County area of Tennessee. They resided in the Wells Creek area and around the West Fork of the Red River at Fletcher’s Branch and Barrow Springs. These areas were closer to settlements like Clarksville and Palmyra but with still great concern for Indian attacks. Both Duncan and Charles Stewart (James Speed's cousins) became active in state politics serving in the General Assemblies from 1801 to 1807, representing Robertson and Montgomery Counties.

      

       Montgomery County, Tennessee Court Minutes: January term 1812 (Vol.4 1811-1813 pg.41) show James S. Speed allowed by the Court to keep the ferry on the Red River formerly owned by James Hambleton. He also entered into a bond with Thomas Smith and James Hambleton for $2000. See also pp 159, 91, 110, 195, and 201 where James S. Speed is noted as serving as a juror and where Nancy Speed (Pg. 201) is allowed to keep a ferry on the Red River with bond of $2000 held by James Stewart (James Speed's cousin) & James Hambleton. This gives some credence to a Speed family legend that at one time the family operated several ferries. Even after James’ death in December, 1816, the same court records show where his widow, Nancy Speed, was allowed to keep the ferry on the Red River for some time following his death.

      

       It would appear that during this time the Speed family  was involved in moving goods commercially up and down the Red River. The early years of the 1800's were progressive ones, chiefly devoted to the building of roads, railroads and bridges.

      

       All indications are that the family of Nancy Speed, widow of James Stuart Speed, raised her young family for a period of years by running the ferry and possibly farming. The 1830 Montgomery County, Tennessee census shows Nancy Speed as the head of a household with two males, one between twenty and thirty years of age and one between fifteen and twenty years of age. Another son, James Speed, was shown to be a head of household also living nearby with two males, one between ten and fifteen years of age and one under five years of age. The male between ten and fifteen appeared to be black.

      

       Sometime before the 1850 census, Nancy Speed, the widow of James Stuart Speed, moved in with the family of her son, Charles Stuart Speed. Charles had moved to Weakley County, Tennessee sometime between 1841 and 1850. The 1850 Weakley County census showed Charles (age 33) , his wife, Martha (age 32), a twin son and daughter, Mary and George (age 4), a son, Robert (age 5), and Charles’ mother, Nancy (age 65).

 

       He married NANCY (PAN) HINSON, married CIRCA 1800 in RICHMOND CO., SOUTH CAROLINA, b. 17 Mar 1784 in NORTH CAROLINA, (daughter of BENJAMIN HINSON and MOURNING MOREMAN) occupation HOUSEWIFE, d. CIRCA 1869 in HENRY CO., TENNESSEE, buried: CIRCA 1869 in ALLMAN / ALMOND CEMETERY, NE of PARIS on HWY 79, HENRY CO., TENNESSEE.

      

       NANCY: In notes written by Morgan Brown IV on March 12, 1826 and placed in the Brown family bible, he mentioned that James S. Speed married a Hinson in Anson County and moved with his family to Montgomery County, Tennessee near the mouth of the Red River. The Speed family bible has  her  name and birth recorded. After the death of her youngest son, Charles Stuart Speed, in 1856 in Weakley County, Tennessee, Nancy went to live with her daughter, Sarah Ann Speed, who had married her first cousin, Henry Hinson, and lived near Paris, Tennessee in Henry County, Tennessee. Nancy is buried in the Hinson family plot next to her daughter, Sarah, in the Allman Cemetery Northeast of Paris, Tennessee. Her great great grandson, Homer Charles Speed, Jr, of Amarillo, Texas placed a stone marker on her grave in 2002 along with another stone marker over the graves of Nancy's brother, Obadiah Hinson and his wife Mary, who are also buried there.

       Abstracts of deeds for Montgomery Co., Tennessee (Book O, pg.220, 1835) show that William Speed deeded to Charles S. Speed on Dec. 20, 1834, 86 acres on Spring Creek. This was an original land grant from the state of N. Carolina to David Lewis and later sold. Proved Jan. 19, 1835 by Wm. Speed. These records also show that Charles S. Speed deeded to Wm. D. Merriweather (Book S, pg.21) on Dec. 24, 1840, 86 acres on Spring Creek for $450. Proved by oath of witness Jan. 4, 1841.

      

       Sometime before the 1850 census, Nancy Speed, the widow of James Stuart Speed, moved in with the family of her son, Charles Stuart Speed. Charles had moved to Weakley County, Tennessee sometime between 1841 and 1850. The 1850 Weakley County census showed Charles (age 33) , his wife, Martha (age 32), a twin son and daughter, Mary and George (age 4), a son, Robert (age 5), and Charles’ mother, Nancy (age 65).

      

        Unfortunately, Charles Stuart Speed died on 26 August 1856 leaving his wife, Martha, to raise five children. Twins Mary (called Puss) and George were eight years old, son Robert was five years old, Henry Lewis (called Lute) was three years old, and the youngest son, Charles, was ten months old. This left Martha Cowell Speed with a formidable task in raising their young family alone. Charles was buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery located across from the Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church formed in 1835 just south of Martin, TN at the intersection of Troy Road and Pleasant Hill Road. This was quite near the old Speed farm between Troy Road and Mud Creek just west of Hwy 45E.

      

       When I first found my great great grandfather's grave, the top half of the tombstone was missing and you could not read the name. I had a local monument company probe the ground around the grave and they found the missing upper half of the tombstone. I then had an additional marker made and, along with the upper half of the original tombstone, had both placed in cement on the grave. I had my own name also placed in the marker in hopes that some other family member who might be researching this family line, would contact me if they saw who placed it there. I have since had two contacts made by distant cousins researching relatives buried in that old cemetery.

 

       He married MARTHA ANN COWEL, married 10 Jan 1847 in WEAKLEY COUNTY, TENNESSS, b. 19 JAN 1819 in ALABAMA, (daughter of SAMUEL COWEL and ANN ELIZABETH W. COOK) occupation HOUSEWIFE, d. 21 Feb 1872 in WEAKLEY CO., TENNESSEE, buried: 1872 in WEAKLEY CO., TENNESSEE.

      

       MARTHA: After Martha's mother, Elizabeth W. Cook, died, Richard Waggener and his wife, Keziah Cook Waggener,  took the two children, Martha and William Henry Cowel, and raised them. He evidently was good to them and said that William Henry was too delicate to work on the farm and would have to learn a trade. After he was old enough, William was apprenticed to a tailor for four years. He also was a shoemaker and a school teacher. William Henry Cowel was also known as an amateur pharmacist. Edwin(a?)  Gordon Burdette (granddaughter to William Cowell) also known as Aunt Eddie, identified Richard Waggener as Uncle Billy Waggener's grandfather.

      

        It is believed that Richard Waggener was directly related to this family because he took responsibility for raising Martha Ann Cowel and her brother, William Henry (Buck) Cowel, following their mother's death. It is probably through a family connection between Richard Waggener's wife, Keziah Birch Cook, and Martha Cowell's mother, Elizabeth Cook, which could have been that they were sisters. It is also possible that Elizabeth W. (Waggener?) Cook could have been a Waggener. Both the Cooks and the Waggeners lived in Barren County, Kentucky at the same time before moving to Weakley County, Tennessee.

      

       It was thought that Martha Ann Cowel was buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery along with her husband, Charles Stuart Speed, but an investigation by her great great grandson, Chuck Speed of Amarillo, TX, did not reveal any grave marker with her name. Charles Stuart Speed, however, is buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery next to Richard Waggener's grave.

                             There has been little found about Richard except that he never married and was living with his brother, Henry, and sister, Mollie, at the time the 1880 census was taken in Denton County, Texas. It is suspected that he may have died somewhere in Denton County and may be buried there.

       In 1825, William moved with his mother to Nashville, Tennessee where she remained. William attended Cumberland College and later, Nashville University where he graduated in October, 1834. In February, 1835, he left home on the steamer, Tobacco Plant, bound for New Orleans, but before arriving obtained temporary employment in Memphis as a clerk. He remained there until early July when he received news of the death of his oldest sister, Margaret Vance Childress, in Nashville. After returning to Nashville, his widowed brother-in-law, George C. Childress, invited him to join him along with George's younger brother, Jack Childress, and Elliott Fletcher on a horseback expedition to the Mexican Territory of Texas. In November 1835, they traveled down the Mississippi River to Nachitoches, Louisiana. From there, they traveled west to Robertson's Colony to the Falls of the Brazos River in the Texas territory. At the Falls, the presidio of the colony, they found the empressario, Sterling Robertson, the uncle of George Childress.

      

       The Mexican government had granted a huge concession of many hundreds of thousands of acres to be granted in bodies of a square league (4,444 acres) to each settler of the colony. Because those who had settled in this territory were cash poor and willing to sell up to one quarter to one half of their portions of their land grants, William Vance and his brother, Jack Vance, and George Childress and Fletcher bought up as much land as they could afford between themselves and friends back home. They bought huge amounts of land at prices as low as  eight cents an acre. After the independence of Texas, William sold 10,000 acres of this land for one dollar per acre making a sizable profit.

      

       When word of Texas independence became known, William and George rode south to the town of Washington on the west bank of the Brazos River, some seventy miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. There George Childress became a delegate along with his uncle, Sterling Roberson, to the Revolutionary Convention from their colony. William Vance was present at the convention meeting when George Childress proposed wording for the document to be later known as the Texas Declaration of Independence. The fateful fall of the Alamo had occurred only a few weeks prior to the convention. Before the close of the convention, George Childress was elected as the new Texas Minister to the United States with William L. Vance elected as Secretary of the delegation. On April 12, 1835, Washington DC newspapers announced the arrival of the new Texas Minister, George Childress and the Texas delegation. General Andrew Jackson was President and was old friends and neighbors with George's father, John Childress. Although no official recognition was given the independence of Texas the delegation of Childress and Vance was warmly welcomed. While on this diplomatic tour, Texas won its independence from Mexico.

      

       William ultimately made his home in Memphis, Tennessee where he was partners on many land speculations in the Memphis area with his brother-in-law, Robertson Topp, who was married to his sister, Elizabeth Little Vance. Although he was against succession, William did have to seek the help of President Lincoln to keep from having his lands confiscated by federal troops near the close of the civil war. With the help of introductions by Kentucky Senator John J. Crittenden and a successful meeting and discussion with the President, Lincoln allowed William to retain his land holdings. Still another amazing occassion occurred when William Vance was attending Ford's theatre purely by chance on the night that President Lincoln was assasinated.

      

       Following the end of the Civil War, the Memphis area and William Vance prospered greatly due to the fact that Memphis became the military center for activity in the Southwest.

       Henry was called "Lewis" or "Lute". He was four years old when his father, Charles S. Speed, died leaving his mother with five children to raise. Although this early history does not reveal much of the detail of how they managed to survive, letters from cousins described how several related families by marriage would share a closeness and live within a close proximity of each other. Just as the Stewarts, Speeds, Brantlys, and Browns intermarried and supported each other in their move from North Carolina to Montgomery County, Tennessee, so too did the Speeds, Cowells, Waggeners, Coles, and Baldridges in their move from Montgomery County to Weakley County.

      

       Following Martha Cowell Speed’s death in 1872, it appears that the four brothers and one sister stayed near Martin, Tennessee in Weakley County until the late 1870's. On 24 August 1877, Henry Lewis Speed married Ada J. Waggener who was suppose to be a second or third cousin. Family records indicate that Ada died shortly after that during childbirth. Neither mother or child survived.

      

       The three brothers and one sister all then moved to Denton County, Texas and are  shown in the 1880 census for Denton County. A notation in the census indicates that George Speed, Mary Speed’s twin, had died a year earlier. Living in one household at that time was Henry Lewis Speed (my great grandfather), his sister, Mary Speed, and youngest brother, Charles Speed, along with deceased George Speed’s widow, Anne Lewis Speed, and their daughter, Florence Speed, and Anne’s  mother, Martha Lewis. In this census, Henry’s occupation is shown as farmer. Anne’s occupation is shown as housekeeper and Mary Speed is shown as assistant. Robert Stuart Speed and his wife, Cally Burgess Speed, were living in Denton County as a separate household.

      

       During the 1880's, life for this Speed family was changing rapidly. Henry Lewis Speed married Lucy Florence Abbott on 13January 1884 in Denton County. Henry or "Lute" as his brothers and sister called him had already suffered a severe loss from his first marriage back in Weakley County to his cousin,  Ada J. Waggener, when she died sometime in 1878 of child birth with the child not surviving either. Henry and  Lucy Florence Abbott were married by Sylvestor Mosaly, a preacher and new husband to Henry’s sister, Mary, having married just a year before on 11 March 1883. During 1884, Robert Stuart Speed moved his family to Fort Worth, Texas where they lived until around 1890. Robert and his family then moved to Washita County, Oklahoma where they homesteaded at the time of the Oklahoma land rush. Charles Speed never married and died in Denton or Dallas County on 16-July-1889. Little is known about how he died or where he is buried. Nothing is known of whatever became of George Speed’s widow, Anne Lewis Speed, and their daughter, Florence Speed.

      

       During the 1880's, Henry Lewis Speed and Lucy Florence Abbott started their family with their first  son, Charles Griffin Speed born  in Elzabethtown, Denton County, Texas born on 16-February-1885. Over the next ten to twelve years, the family grew in number and moved from Denton County to Baylor County and to Archer County each time pursuing better farm land at cheaper prices. The other children born during this time were Clara Lavina Speed born 16 October 1887 and died as an infant on 9 August 1888, Edward Lewis Speed (my grandfather) born 26 July 1889, Mable Florence Speed born 8 February 1892, and Mary Bulah Speed born 4 December 1894. Each child was born in a different location as the family migrated west. Clara was born in Denton County, Edward was born in Argyle, Denton County, Mable was born in Baylor County, and Bulah was born in Archer City, Archer County. Baylor and Archer Counties are located south of Wichita Falls, Texas.

      

       In 1897, Henry Lewis Speed is shown in land records to have homesteaded on land near Cordell, Oklahoma in Washita County.  His last and youngest child, Esther Catherine Speed, was born 24 October 1899 in Cordell. Henry Lewis Speed lived there for approximately ten years when he sold his farm and homestead for $1,600 on 18 March 1908 and moved his family to Clarendon, Texas.

      

       On 21 March 1917, Henry Lewis Speed died at his home. He had been suffering from a bad flu weeks earlier but had decided to get up out of bed to prepare his garden for spring seeding. Soon he was back in bed experiencing a relapse of the illness. When it became apparent that he was taking a turn for the worse, Henry called his family to his bedside. My grandfather, Ed Speed, always told us the story of how his father made him promise that he would marry and have sons. He was deeply concerned that his Speed line would end without male descendants to carry on the name. At the time, Ed’s brother, Charlie  was married to Mary Eugenia Moore and had two daughters, Edith Clara Speed born 26 July 1910 and Catherine (Kitty) Leota Speed born 20 October 1912. Years later, my grandfather Ed would get tears in his eyes when he would tell this story and he would be emotional about how his only son, Homer Charles Speed, had three sons to carry on his Speed line.

  Charles Homer Speed and Edward Lewis Speed were first cousins and were very close from the time the two Speed families homesteaded and lived in Washita County, Oklahoma. Ed named his only son, Homer Charles Speed, after his cousin.

 

  Charles Homer's father, Robert Stuart Speed, had moved to Denton, Texas in the late 1870's along with his wife, Nancy Burgess, and their young family. Robert's two brothers and  one sister (Henry Lewis Speed, Charles Richard Speed, and Mary [Mollie sometimes also called Puss] Elizabeth Caroline Speed) had also moved to Denton, Texas during this time. In the early 1990's, Robert Stuart Speed had homesteaded in Washita County, Oklahoma and was hauling long distance freight from Oklahoma to Texas. In 1894 during a cold norther, Robert caught pneumonia and died. This left Charles Homer or "Homer", as he was called, to hold the family together at age eighteen.
