706	W. N. Brazzil, 85, Confederate Veteran, Dies in Victoria Many friends paid their last respects today to William Nicholas Brazzil, 86, Confederate veteran and well known retired Smith County ranchman, who died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. P.F. Satterwhite, in this city at 6:30 o'clock this morning. The funeral services were conducted at 4 p.m. at the Satterwhite residence at 404 East Juan Linn Street, and interment was in the Memorial Park Cemetery, the first burial to take place in that beautiful new local cemetery, Rev. A.J. Carson, pastor of the First Baptist Church officiated. The floral tributes were most beautiful and of great number. Mr. Brazzil was the son of J.W. Brazzil, a native of Georgia, and Mrs. Emily Delafield Brazzil, a native of Alabama, both deceased. His parents came to Texas during the days fo the republic and he was born near Marshall May 9, 1846. At the age of 15 he enlisted in the Confederate Army and after the war settled near Tyler, where he engaged in stockraising with success. He retired from active pursuits 30 years ago and moved to Wharton and then to Louise, residing at each place about ten years. He then made his home at Port Lavaca for five years and five years ago came to Victoria to reside with his daughter, the wife of a popular Southern Pacific brakeman. Surviving are his wife, formerly Miss Winnie Shellman of Standing Rock, Ala., of Victoria; two daughters, Mrs Satterwhite of this city and Mrs. Ruth Roome of San Antonio; one son, John D.

740	A family legend that is unravelling: Came from Germany with family. Had been wealthy until the Kaiser destroyed everything. Had three sisters. Was married and had three children. Wife died during Civil War. Fought in Civil War for the North. Was in a military prison. His sister raised his children. While in prison, he met a Confederate POW named Wills. When they were released, he decided to go with his friend back to Texas. Had a farm near Waco in Robinson. Another family legend: Built a church and set aside a portion of the property as a school, churchyard and cemetery. He, Annie, Naomi, and Henry are buried there. Robinson Cemetery. One more family legend: Frederick's brother was a doctor at the "Mayo Clinic". Could this be Nicholas? SENN, Dr. Nicholas, at Chicago, June 2, 1908 (death) I can't find any proof that his first name was William. Gina- The information I have is that the SENN or Senner name means, a shepherd or cowherd in Switzerland. In the spring all the cattle in the small towns are gotten together and the herders drive them up into the mountains to greener pastures. They are milked and cheese is made right there in the mountains and every week the cheese is hauled down to the village and sold. In the fall the cattle are brought back to the village to a big field and the owners have to pick out their cow or cows and take them back to their homes and pick up their money for the cheese that had been sold. When we were in Buchs, St Gallen in Sept of 1998 we were able to see the return of the cattle from the mountains. The best milk producers were all decorated with flowers and branches on their heads and each wore a big (12 inches wide and 18 inches long) bell that clanged with each step the cow took. There must have been approx 150 milk cows and a bunch of yearling calves that bought up the rear of the procession. I did make lots of videotapes of our trip. Was able to visit the church my ancestors went to in Buchs and also look at and hold in my hands and photograph old church records back to the 1600's!!!! It was quite a feeling to see my GGGGGrandfather/mother's birth, confirmation, marriage and death records. Our SENN family came from the little town of Altendorf, St Gallen which is now a part of the city of Buchs. Take care Bill and Gale Senn bsenn@cfu.net I checked in the Oxford English Dictionary and the name "senn" is German, rarely used since the early 19th century, but the definition of a "senn" is a herdsman in the Alps.

He became a Catholic upon his marriage to Rosina and a Methodist after her death. He built their home on St. Emanuel Street where they had five boys, no daughters. Only one of the boys married, E. W.

743	Evaline Coon, b. September 04, 1841, in Indiana, m. Tipton Thompson, b. 1832 in Logansport, Cass Co., Indiana. Evaline and her family moved from Indiana to California in the 1840's where she met Tipton Thompson. They married in Hillsburg, California and in 1870 moved to Elkton, Missouri. In 1879 the family moved to Texas. They had 8 children, (1) Lilly Francis Thompson, b. November 28, 1860, (2) Clara Thompson, b. July 15, 1863, (3) Margaret Ellen (Nell) Thompson, b.

744	Here's the only picture of your great grandfather that we've been able to locate. I don't think he was a northern sympathizer in the least. As the editor of the local newspaper, he was probably highly opinionated and supportive of the southern cause. Your grandfather didn't flee to TX until Natchez was threatened by Northern troops. When the city leaders decided to surrender the city, rather than face the destruction that so many other southern cities experienced, your grandfather appears to have been one of the opponents of that surrender. Our research indicates that he was captured (by Northern troops) in Texas and died in a prisoner of war camp, located in Arkansas. Hope this is helpful. Jamey Boudreaux	MELLEN, William Pepperell (I2807)
745	Mamaw says her name was not Tucker but Joines. I know her mother's name was Tucker when she died and was Joines before she married Tucker. It is possible she was married to a Joines before she married the Tucker. Census records usually record step-children as such and with their father's surname. If Ruthie married a Joines first, she would have married before the 1850 census on which she is shown to be 15 years of age. Girls did not normally marry that early in that time period. [Now that I've had several years to study this family, I realize that Mamaw was getting Ruthie and Texaanna confused. She knew that Ruthie's name was Joines but didn't realize that was her maiden name.] Texanna died a month after I was born, her great-great-grandchild. Dad carried Mamaw, Mom and me to see her just before she died. He says that's when he realized he needed a camera. He bought Mom an old Brownie and got himself an 8 mil movie camera. I wish he had bought them before we visited.	TUCKER, Texanna (I1428)
746	Published on 12/25/1883 and on 12/26/1883. Both read as follows: "FOREY on Tuesday, December 25, 1883 at 4:00 P.M. James Forey, aged 38 years. The Officers and Members of the SCREWMEN'S BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION are requested to attend the funeral of their deceased brother, JAMES FOREY, on Wednesday and to assemble at their Hall at 2 o'clock P.M. By order of the President: William McCubbin, Recording Secretary."	FORREY, James (I5870)
747	Thomas, who was also called Thomas J., (probably Thomas Jefferson, and Richard H. L. probably stood for Richard Henry Lee - although this is speculation on my part), was our ancestor. Until recently we had not been able to find Thomas' wife's name, only that it was Mary and we had been told by Billy Baskerville (son of Charles, bro of Benjamin and Mary Eliz.) of Sumner, that she was called "Dinkie" and that she was from William's Hollow. We now know that her name was Mary "Dink" or "Dinkie" Williams. We knew from census records that her name was Mary, but we finally saw the name Mary "Dink" Williams on the death certificate for Richard, the oldest son of Thomas and Mary. This record was given to me a few years ago by a desc. of Richard. Thomas J. Baskerville b. 1839 and Mary Williams b. 1844 (figured from census records) had 11 children - Richard b. 1861, Mary Eliz. b. 1863 (she was born in Ky. for some reason, possibly because of the Civil War, but we have no idea why or where she was born in Ky.), John b. 1865, Ben. Franklin b. 1867, Sallie b. 1870, Josephine b. 1872, Chris Columbus b. 1875, Geo. Augustus b. 1878, Cleve O. b. 1884, Charles b. 1881, and Emma b. 1886. My sister got a lot of the Baskerville data that we know about from Cammie Braham, wife of Wade Baskerville, son of Benjamin. I have recently spoken with Wade, and he says Cammie is deceased.

748	"Do hereby grant, bargain, and sell unto the said V D Vandercook and Margarette Vandercook, husband and wife and unto their heirs and assigns forever the following lands lying in the County of Saline and State of Arkansas, to wit: The West Half of the Northwest Quarter of Section 31, Township 1 North, Range 14 West, containing 77 acres, more or less." 30 Jan 1937 from C H Hoover.	VANDERCOOK, Venus Delmont (I10097)
749	"Matthew Sparks, son of Absalom and Lydia (Elsberry) Sparks, was born about 1797 in South Carolina. He was probably named for his paternal grandfather, Matthew Sparks. He married Elizabeth ---, probably about 1824. She was born about 1807 in South Carolina. Matthew accompanied his parents to Arkansas where he joined his father and brothers in signing petitions to the President and Congress in 1821 and 1825. In 1829, he was listed on a special census taken by the Sheriff of Crawford County, Arkansas, but by 1830 he was in Pope County, Arkansas. With him were his wife and three sons. "Matthew Sparks was apparently a member of the group of Arkansas settlers that went to Texas in 1833. There he received a League of land adjoining the land of his brother-in-law, Friend Boatright, in what is now Lee County, Texas. He may also have been given the Headright Certificate for the land granted to his sister, Edy Sparks. "By 1840, Matthew Sparks had moved to Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, where he was listed with his wife and six children on the 1840 census. When the 1850 census was taken he was in neighboring Sabine County, Texas. All except two of his eight children had apparently left home. The two at home were Elizabeth Sparks, 10, and Nancy Sparks, 7. On August 31, 1850, Matthew Sparks sold his share of the estate of his sister, Edy Sparks. The consideration was $500 which may indicate that he had the actual possession of her Headright Certificate."	SPARKS, Matthew (I6585)
750	ALEXANDER MOUTON.--The name that heads this sketch is well known, not only in Louisiana, but throughout the United States. Alexander Mouton was born November 19, 1804, in what was then Attakapas, on Bayou Carencro, which was the dividing line between Attakapas county and county of Opelousas, on the road now leading from the present town of Lafayette to Grand Coteau. He died February 12, 1885. Mr. Mouton was the ninth Governor of the State of Louisiana, and the first Democrat to occupy the executive chair. He was a lineal descendant of an early Acadian family, and was proud of his origin. His mother, Marth	MOUTON, Gov. Alexandre (I1966)
