Posted: 11 Oct 2002 12:35AM GMTWilliam Nevels ... was born in Mississippi in 1808. In the 1880 census of Holmes Co., MS, William states that his father was born in SC and his mother in VA. I think William's father is James Nevill/Nevels who lived in Jefferson Co., Hinds Co., and Holmes Co.. James would have been born ca. 1770-80; wife possibly Elizabeth Roberts. Below is the information I have on William (copied from a family Bible and researched through census, family information, newspaper accounts, cemetery records, death certificates, etc. (no marriage certificates because of courthouse fire in Holmes Co., MS). William Nevels, b. 8 March 1808, probably Jefferson Co., MS; d. 22 Oct 1883, Holmes Co, MS. May have lived in other MS counties, including Hinds, before coming to Holmes Co. Brothers and sisters of William Nevels, b. 1808 (taken from family record): Isaac Nevels, b. 16 April 1812 Betsey Ann Nevels, b. 15 March 1816 James Gardner Nevels, b. 6 Sept. 1818 Sarah Jane Nevels, b. 4 Jan 1821 Hiram M. (Mordecai ??) Nevels, b. 24. Dec. 1823 Lucinda Nevels, b. 11 Nov. 1825 Martin Nevels, b. 8 March 1828 The above William J. Nevels married (1) 4 June 1834, Mary J. Nevel (Nevil, Nevill), b. 15 Feb. 1817, in Mississippi, probably Jefferson County. (Nevel/Nevil/Nevill was her maiden name.) I am trying to verify that her father was Thomas Neville who was in Holmes Co., MS in 1840. Thomas is possibly the son of Philip Nevill who was in Jefferson Co., MS in late 1790s - early 1800s. My grandfather said Mary J. Nevel was the daughter of a Nevill and a Peyton. Children of William J. and Mary J. (Nevel/Nevill) Nevels: 1. Julia Ann Nevels, b. 9 Feb. 1838; m. Daniel McBride ca. 1855, Holmes Co., MS; d. before 1869, prob. Holmes Co. 2. Lucinda Elizabeth Nevels, b. 27 Oct. 1839; m. Thomas Alexander Eakin; d. 29 Jan. 1929; bur.

A Brief History of the 1st Mississippi Volunteer Infantry
By Patrick McSherry
Click here for a roster of the 1st Mississippi Volunteer Infantry
This page has been created in co-operation with the MSGenWeb Project of DeSoto County Mississippi
General:The 1st Mississippi Volunteer Infantry served its term of service within the continental U.S. during the Spanish American War.
The History:
Following President McKinley's first call for volunteer on April 21, 1898, the First Missisippi Volunteer Infantry was mustered into service at Jackson, Mississippi between May 16 and May 26, 1898. At the time of mustering in, the regiment had forty-four officers and 947 enlisted men.
On May 30, 1898, the regiment left Jackson and proceeded to Camp Thomas, on the grounds of the former Civil War battefield of Chickamauga, Georgia, arriving on May 31 without arms or ammunition. The regiment was assigned to the Third Brigade, Second Division of the Third Army Corps. The Third Brigade was initally commanded by Col. Lucius Kendall of the 1st Maine Volunteer Infantry, who was succeeded by Brig. Gen. Charles P. Mattocks on June 29. The other regiments in the brigade were the 1st Maine Volunteer Infantry and the 52nd Iowa Volunteer Infantry.
While the regiment was at Camp Thomas, an armistice was agreed to between the U.S. and Spain on August 13, effectively ending the fighting, though a final peace treaty would not be signed until December 10, 1898. During its time at Camp Thomas, the men of the regiment were involved in being equipped, trained, and drilled. The regiment received uniforms on June 11, and was eventually equipped with Springfield Rifles, probably a reference to the outdated "trapdoor" rifle given to many of the rear-line regiments. One source, a Massachusetts newspaper commented that the regiment "made a good impression at Chickamauga [Camp Thomas]. Many of the men come from homes within sight of the gulf, and, if not all immunes, are all acclimated for service in Cuba." This was referring to an errant belief that men from this area of the country would be immune to Cuba's tropical diseases...a faulty theory which, luckily for the regiment, it never had to try out. Also, another witness mentions listening to the 1st Mississippi regimental band practicing in camp. Unfortunately, the review of the performance is not good, being described as "Rotten, Rotten," with the band leader's facial expressions indicating that he appeared to agree with the soldier-critic..
However, throughout the summer, conditions at the camp began to worsen as the camp swelled to a city of thirty thousand men, with inadequate sanitation and supplies. Disease climbed to alarming proportions. By the end of July and into August, the U.S. Army began relocating regiments to other, more healthy sites. Initially, it was aparently intended to sent the regiment to Anniston, Alabama, but, instead, the regiment was relocated to Lauderdale Springs, back in its home state of Mississippi, on September 8. Tensions must have been running high because on Septmber 6, Private Kinney of Company H assaulted Col. Govan and threatened to shoot the regiment's adjutant, acts for which he was court-martialed and imprisoned. Comments had been made that 1st Mississippi's camp lacked control since Govan was too lenient with his men.
Given the unhealthy conditions, and the apparent lack of need for troops, the First Mississippi was one of a number of regiments that requested to be released from service. The regiment was given a thirty day furlough, beginning on September 30. The furlough was eventually extended to November 28.
At the conclusion of its furlough, the regiment was sent to Columbia, Tennessee, where it was finally mustered out on December 20, 1898, ten days after the signing of the Treaty of Paris, ending the war. On the train trip from Columbia, Tennessee, it was reported that many in the regiment were drunk, shooting up houses en route, and taking shots at indivduals. Reportedly, one child, George Thomas was killed and his mother, Lucy mortally wounded by the guns of the regiment. Both were African American.
During it term of service, the regiment lost two officers and twenty-nine enlisted men to disease. In addition, one enlisted man was killed in an accident, fourteen ten men were discharged on disability, and twenty-eight men deserted.

From: Jan Faulkner <jdfaulk@hop-uky.campus.mci.net>
Posted: 11 Oct 2002 12:35AM GMTWilliam Nevels ... was born in Mississippi in 1808. In the 1880 census of Holmes Co., MS, William states that his father was born in SC and his mother in VA. I think William's father is James Nevill/Nevels who lived in Jefferson Co., Hinds Co., and Holmes Co.. James would have been born ca. 1770-80; wife possibly Elizabeth Roberts. Below is the information I have on William (copied from a family Bible and researched through census, family information, newspaper accounts, cemetery records, death certificates, etc. (no marriage certificates because of courthouse fire in Holmes Co., MS). William Nevels, b. 8 March 1808, probably Jefferson Co., MS; d. 22 Oct 1883, Holmes Co, MS. May have lived in other MS counties, including Hinds, before coming to Holmes Co. Brothers and sisters of William Nevels, b. 1808 (taken from family record): Isaac Nevels, b. 16 April 1812 Betsey Ann Nevels, b. 15 March 1816 James Gardner Nevels, b. 6 Sept. 1818 Sarah Jane Nevels, b. 4 Jan 1821 Hiram M.

Nevel (Nevil, Nevill), b. 15 Feb. 1817, in Mississippi, probably Jefferson County. (Nevel/Nevil/Nevill was her maiden name.) I am trying to verify that her father was Thomas Neville who was in Holmes Co., MS in 1840. Thomas is possibly the son of Philip Nevill who was in Jefferson Co., MS in late 1790s - early 1800s. My grandfather said Mary J. Nevel was the daughter of a Nevill and a Peyton. Children of William J. and Mary J. (Nevel/Nevill) Nevels: 1. Julia Ann Nevels, b. 9 Feb. 1838; m.

Paulus (Paul) Pautler was born near Bremmelback, Canto Soulz, Alsace, France on 18 March 1834. He was the fifth child of Joseph Pautler, Sr., and his first wife, Margarethe Weckerle. He came to America in the fall of 1847 with his parents. They landed at New York in November 1847, and then proceeded to Erie County, New York, near Buffalo.
Paulus helped his father on the farm and at the sawmill. It was at Williamsville, New York that his mother died. His father remarried and Paulus decided to move. In 1851 he, his brother Aloyus (Alois) and his oldest sister Margaretha, who had married Nick Gross, started from Buffalo, New York by steamboat for Chicago, from whence they journeyed on the canal to LaSalle, IL and then down the Illinois and Mississippi rivers to St. Louis, MO.
From St. Louis they went to Millstadt, IL, where they had acquaintances and then they turned south to what was then know as the German Settlement, now Paderborn (after the German city), to distinguish it from the English Settlement, now called Hecker, IL.
There they stayed some months and then on 18 February 1852, they crossed the Kaskaskia or “Okaw” river and came to Evansville, IL. After being here for a few years, Paulus bought 50 acres of land. This he started to clear and to erect buildings, but as yet he had no wife. "The lovely face" of his childhood sweetheart, who lived in the east, was recalled to mind. There now being a railroad from St. Louis to New York, in the fall of 1857, Paulus returned to Swormville and Williamsville, NY to visit his sisters. Here he found his sweetheart of 15 had blossomed into a beautiful maiden and he offered her his hand and "the beautiful home he had prepared in the west."
They were married in Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Williamsville, New York. John Daniel and John Ismert were groomsmen and Mary Daniel and Barbara Ordner were bride's maids. The marriage was witnessed and signed by Rev. John Neumann on 9 April 1839. This is the same Rev. Neumann who was canonized as St. John Neumann. Rosina’s parents were John and Eva Ordner Daniel. Their ancestors came from the French province of Lothringen. Rosina was the second youngest of eight children.
Shortly after the wedding he, with his bride, returned to Evansville and settle on the farm. They traveled down the Mississippi River to Chester, IL, which was twenty miles south of Evansville. Rosina waited at Chester while Paulus walked the twenty miles, hitched up his team of oxen, and returned to Chester. She was only 18 years of age. She had heard stories in New York of how wild Illinois was and that everybody ate cornbread. While she waited for Paulus to return she stayed at a hotel where she ate her first Illinois meal and sure enough, there was cornbread. Later when they reached the home of Paulus’ sister in Evansville, their first meal included cornbread. Rosina’s heart sank. (I assume because it meant to her the rest of the story about Illinois being very wild was also true.) However, the cornbread proved to be only a coincidence.
Rosina was proud of the city clothes she had. Women in Evansville wore shawls on their heads, but the young lady from Buffalo had two hats and three silk dresses. Word of her stylish clothes got around and women accompanying their husbands to market would stop in to see the hats and dresses.
In April of 1860 38 families had organized a Catholic congregation and Paul was one of the trustees. A 30x40 frame church was built and name St. Josephs. This church was destroyed by an arsonist in 1866, so a new brick church was erected and named for St. Boniface. The first Mass was said on Christmas Day, 1867. This church was still standing in beautiful condition 1988.
Paulus was a Democrat, voting for Stephen Douglas in 1860 and for every Democratic nominee since. All of his sons and sons-in-law were likewise Democrats.
She was very homesick for her New York home and shed many tears after her husband had gone to his day’s work, leaving her at home with their two small children. The crisis came while they were living at the Jim Matthews house east of the new cemetery in Evansville. One day as she was home alone with the two children, two soldiers knocked on the door. It was during the Civil War and the soldiers were Confederates, ragged, tired, and dirty. They had come only for food and clothing, were very polite, and did her no harm, but the event was the straw that broke the camel's back. Rosina had had all she could stand of Illinois. So in 1863 they returned to Williamsville to the old Daniel home where she was born. It was here the Rosa Linda Pautler Koetting was born on 30 January 1864.
There was a large and beautiful old house with very thick stone walls, deep window seats, and a large fireplace. This house was owned and occupied by the Daniel family for over 100 years. With slight modification, it was still lived in as of 1988, and still has the original stone doorsill. The house stands at 142 Mill St.
Paulus and Rosina remained in Williamsville for 18 months during which time he “engaged in the manufacture of liquor” – he was a distiller.
In 1865, Paulus and Rosina went back to Randolph County, IL where he opened Pautler’s Hotel in 1866, leaving the farm because of failing health (which is amaing since he lived another 53 years). In 1874 he erected a brick hotel. The hotel was not large, it had 5 rooms and a hall on the first floor and 8 rooms on the second floor, and it also had a basement under the entire building. There was an ice-house and a 2 room brick building that had a brick oven for baking bread or cooking large amounts of meat. Grandfather kept two or three horses and one or two cows. He had a farm wagon and a surrey with the fringe on top and a top buggy. In the hotel was a small saloon with a car and card table. Grandfather had only a half-license and was not allowed to sell whiskey by the drink and not allowed to mix drinks.
The 1875 Atlas for Randolph County has this to say: “”He (Paulus) is a man of progressive tendencies, and in 1874 he erected a fine structure to serve as a hotel. Pautler’s Hotel is one of the best managed in the County, and a favorite stopping-place for the traveling public. Ample feed stables are attached to the establishment, and here may be found the best of accommodations ‘for man and beast’. The hospitable landlord leaves nothing undone for the comfort of his guests.”
Nine children were born after Paulus and Rosina returned from New York to Evansville. Altogether they had 12 children.
Evansville became an incorporated town 15 April 1869 and Paulus became a member of the Town Board. Atone time there were three hotel-saloons in the little town – one kept by Paulus, one by his half-brother Henry, and one by Joseph Meyer.
The original hotel was occupied by Herman Moeller’s harness shop. The brick hotel later was the home of the “Evansville Enterprise”. In 1988 part was occupied by a Savings and Loan Association. Rosina did the cooking for the hotel and liked to work. They ran the hotel for nearly 38 years when in 1903 they sold the property to Mr. Ronnenberg and moved to their home where he lived until his death.
Three of their daughters married Koetting boys:
Rosa Linda married Engelbert Koetting 21 August 1883
Clara C. married John Koetting 22 November 1887
Christine M. married Henry Koetting 11 November 1890
Rosina and Paulus celebrated their 40th (Ruby) wedding anniversary in Evansville on Tuesday, 15 February 1898 “at their magnificent residence near C. and C. depot”. All during their marriage they had had a Mass celebrated each year on the wedding date. On this 40th anniversary, High Mass was celebrated by Fr. Roesner of St. Boniface Church. “The altar with its gleaming candles, rich decorations of silk, velvet and lace, as well as floral clusters, present a beautiful sight. The choir and the pealing of the organ filled every part of the edifice with religious harmony and electrified the moral feelings of all in attendance.”
Thos e present at the 40th anniversary included Engelbert and Rosa Linda Pautler Koetting, and their son Albert Koetting who had been born in Evansville on 13 September 1884 and christened at St. Bonfiace.
Rosina and Paulus celebrated their 50th (Golden) wedding anniversary in Evansville on Saturday 15 February 1908. Shortly before eight o’clock they gather at St. Boniface Church. The celebrant of the Solemn High Mass was Fr. J. B. Schlotmann, assisted by Fr. C. VanTourehoutof St. Genevieve, MO, and Fr. William VanDelft of Sparta, IL.
At the time of their 50th anniversary, their daughter Rosa Linda Pautler Koetting was living near Guthrie, OK.
Rosina and Paulus celebrated their 60th (Diamond) wedding anniversary on Sunday 15 February 1918 in Evansville, IL. Rosina was nearly 80 and Paulus was 84. Their daughter, Rosa Linda Pautler Koetting was by now living in Wichita, KS. Of Rosina and Paulus’ 12 children, ten were still alive. At that time there were 60 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
Paulus died Monday 22 September 1918 at the age of 84 ½ years. All of his 10 surviving children were in Evansville to attend his funeral including Rosa Linda Pautler Koetting. Paulus was also survived by his wife Rosina, his brother Alois, two half-brothers Peter Paul and John W., and a half-sister Mrs. Selma Swartz. Paulus was first buried in the original Catholic Cemetery at Evansville, as, as stated earlier, later removed to the new Catholic Cemetery.
Paulus prided himself on three things in life – first, that he was a German; second, that he was a Catholic; and third, that he was a Democrat.
After being invalid for more than a year, Rosina Daniel Pautler died on Wednesday 11 March 1925, almost 86 years of age. All of her ten surviving children attended her funeral except Rosa Lind Pautler Koetting who had very recently lost her husband, Engelbert. There was a very large attendance at the funeral on Saturday 14 March 1925 at 9AM. Services were conducted by Fr. Schlotmann.

John Neumann., and died March 11, 1925. Rosina lived to be 86 and died on March 11, 1945.Paul and Rosina were married 60 years. Three of Paul and Rosina's children married Koetting boys. Rosa Linda married Engelbert Koetting on August 21, 1883. Clara married John in 1887 and Christine married Henry in 1890.
Notes for ROSINA DANIEL:
Rosina was only 18 years old when she left Williamsville, New York for the Wild West. When Rosina arrived in Illinois, she created quite a sensation with her silk dresses and two hats. Rosina was unprepared for the trials and tribulations of the pioneer life. She was very homesick for her New York home and returned to New York.

This regiment was formed at Iuka in the summer of 1861 of companies that were early organized but had not been able to get into regiments for active service. They were required to enlist "for the war." Company E was mustered into the Confederate service at Liberty July 25, and then went to the camp at Iuka. Company D was mustered in at Corinth by Colonel Posey and sent to Iuka. Company G, after its organization, waiting vainly for orders, lost many members who joined other commands in the field; after the battle of Manassas reorganized and enlisted for the war, arrived at Iuka July 30, expecting to join the Twentieth Regiment. It being full, Captain Reid and Captain Nix went to Richmond and secured the enrollment of their commands as independent companies. September 10 they were ordered to Memphis, Tenn., where Colonel Bonham had gone with his incomplete regiment, the Twenty-second. These reminiscences illustrate the formation of the regiment.
On July 1 Governor Pettus reported that Bonham's Regiment was raised "for the war," but this appears to have been anticipatory. Adjutant-General Cooper telegraphed to General Clark at Corinth July 31, 1861 "Capt. James D. Caulfield’s company, Liberty Guards, accepted by President to be part of one of the two Mississippi regiments at Iuka. Order these regiments as soon as organized to Lynchburg."
Bonham's Regiment was completed at Memphis, and on September 23 reported to General Polk at Columbus, Ky., where they remained until after the battle of Belmont, November 7, of which they were spectators, without being called into action. After this they were ordered back to Union City, Tenn., and thence marched to Fulton, Ky., the night of October 1. October 6 they went into winter quarters at Camp Beauregard, in Graves County, Ky., and remained there until Christmas, making several expeditions meanwhile to Mayfield and Columbus, and once marching in the night to within six or eight miles of Paducah. There were many sick and a considerable number died, among them Colonel Bonham, of pneumonia, in November. The regiment was reported November 30, 795 present, and a part of the brigade of Gen. John S. Bowen at Camp Beauregard. After Christmas they were moved to Clarksville, and thence to Bowling Green, December 29, where they were in winter quarters until February 12, when, on account of Grant's advance to Fort Donelson, General Johnston was compelled to retire to Murfreesboro, Tenn. They were at Nashville the day of battle at Fort Donelson and could hear the artillery. The regiment was about 580 strong in January and was brigaded with the Twenty-fifth Mississippi under Bowen.
After the retreat to Murfreesboro they were transferred to the remnant of Zollicoffer's Brigade, which had retreated from the battle of Fishing Creek, Ky. Lieutenant-Colonel Schaller was in command of the regiment and Colonel Statham, of the Fifteenth, in command of the brigade, February 23.
They reached their old camp at Iuka in March, and after the Federal gunboats appeared on the river below Pittsburg Landing the regiment, under Colonel Schaller, engaged in frequent movements to Eastport. March 26 Schaller reported that his artillery had disabled the gunboat Lexington on the previous day, but he was removing the artillery by order of General Crittenden and would evacuate Eastport that day.
Statham's Brigade was part of Breckenridge's "reserve corps" in the organization before the battle of Shiloh, April 6-7, 1862, and in that battle fought under the command of Breckenridge, participating in the capture of Prentiss' Division, and at the close of the first day were on the front line, occupying the heights overlooking the Tennessee River, under fire of the gunboats.
The casualties of the regiment at Shiloh were heavy. Colonel Schaller and Major -- [name not given] were so severely wounded as to be disabled for further service, and Lieutenant-Colonel -- [name not given] and three Captains died on the field.
After this the regiment served in the lines around Corinth during Halleck's siege and participated in the engagement at Farmington, April 27. Upon the evacuation of Corinth, May 29, the Twenty-second and Fifth Kentucky were detailed as rear guard for the left wing and remained on the banks of the Tuscumbia south of Corinth until the evening of June 1, engaged in almost uninterrupted fire with the Federal pickets. Couriers sent to order them back failed to reach them, and they made a night march to Baldwin, June 1, through a country occupied by the Federal outposts, and rejoined the army. (I. E. Hirsch's sketch.) They moved from Baldwin to Tupelo, encamped at Kunewa June 12-22, suffering terribly for water, and then joined in the movement of Breckinridge's command to Vicksburg, where they were encamped at Bovina and at Four Mile bridge, picketed the river below the city, engaged in the attempt to surprise the Federal fort eight or ten miles below the city and capture the mortar boats. Being discovered in this movement they were exposed for some hours to a heavy fire from the fleet, including the Brooklyn, and there were several casualties, mainly from falling timber This service in July, in intense heat, disabled a considerable part of the command. They were witnesses of the naval battle of the ram Arkansas.
Following is the return of the Twenty-second in "Breckenridge's Division, Army of the Mississippi, Vicksburg, July 20, 1862"; Col. F. Schaller, Lieutenant-Colonel Prestidge, Adjutant Fitzpatrick, Quartermaster W. M. Jayne, Commissary Captain Jones, Assistant Surgeon G. C. Phillips. Part of Fourth Brigade. July 29 they left Vicksburg under the command of General Breckenridge, and moved to Camp Moore, La., whence they marched to the attack on the Federal force at Baton Rouge. The Twenty-second; greatly reduced in numbers, was commanded in the battle of August 5 by Capt. Felix Hughes, who received a mortal wound at the head of his men leading the brigade in a gallant attack. The casualties of the regiment were: 13 killed and 34 wounded, which was equaled in that battle by only one other command in Clark's Division, the Thirty-first Mississippi. General Clark himself fell with a wound supposed to be mortal, and his aide, Lieutenant Yerger, remained with him on the field where they were captured. General Clark, his aides, Lieutenants Spooner and Yerger, and Captain Hughes and Adjutant Fitzgerald were commended by Breckenridge for gallant conduct.
August 7 Breckinridge's troops marched to Port Hudson and began the fortifications there. August 24 they started back to Jackson, Miss., where they arrived on the 29th and were given a rest of twelve days at Sulphur Springs. Under the command of General Van Dorn the Twenty-second, Fifteenth and Sixth Regiments, Caruther's Battalion and the First Missouri formed the brigade of Gen. John S. Bowen, in Lovell's Division. Van Dorn advanced to the vicinity of Grand Junction, Tenn., in September, while General Price, in eastern Mississippi, advanced to Iuka and fought the battle of September 19. Van Dorn and Price then united at Ripley and advanced ten days later to Pocahontas, Tenn., whence they marched to attack Rosecrans at Corinth. At Chewalla the Twenty-second surprised a Federal outpost and captured a number of prisoners, with slight casualties.
In the attack on the 3d against the outer line of works, Bowen, Rust and Villipigue attacked a hill at the crossing of the State line road and railroad, on which was posted artillery, with rifle pits extending north and south. General Lovell reported that "the hill was carried mainly by the Ninth Arkansas and Twenty-second Mississippi, each vieing with the other in the dashing gallantry of their charge." The Federals abandoned the position so hurriedly that they left one Parrott gun. Captain Lester, commanding the regiment, was mentioned for gallantry. Concerning the captured gun, known as the "Lady Richardson," General Rust acknowledged, in his report, that the Twenty-second Mississippi, under Captain Lester, was entitled to a full share of honor. General Bowen claimed the capture of the gun, and said the Twenty-second deserved special mention for their gallant charge. The regiment was with the brigade in the advance of the 4th, coming under a destructive artillery fire, and shared the duties of rear guard on the retreat of the army across the Tuscumbia River, taking part in the action of October 5. On the march to Holly Springs there was continual skirmishing for the rear guard. At Coldwater, where General Pemberton took command early in November, they skirmished November 9 and fell back to Abbeville. When Grant advanced from Memphis along the railroad, they fell back, after several days' skirmishing, to Oxford, Water Valley and Coffeeville, where there was a considerable engagement December 5. December and January they were in winter quarters at Grenada. January 31 the Twenty-second was assigned to Rust's Brigade, Loring's Division, the Mississippi regiments of which constituted Featherston's Brigade after February. In February the regiment went into camp on the Big Black River near Edwards, and March 1 they moved to Chickasaw Bayou.
May 30, brigade present 1,916, Col. Frank Schaller commanding regiment. July 30, Lieut.-Col. H. J. Reid commanding regiment.
March 19 General Featherston was ordered with his brigade to Snyder's Bluff, whence he took steamer with the Twenty-second and Thirty-third Regiments and a section of artillery up Sunflower River to Rolling Fork, where Col. S. W. Ferguson had preceded him with his command from Greenville. They engaged the five Federal gunboats under Admiral Porter and Sherman's land forces on April 20th and throughout a period of nearly ten days, until the expedition withdrew through Black bayou. April 22 a considerable Federal force was landed on one of the dry spots and an attempt made to cut off the two Mississippi regiments. The total Confederate losses in the skirmishes were 2 killed and 6 or 8 wounded. In his report of the Rolling Fork campaign Featherston mentioned Capt. W. R. Barksdale, Adjutant-General; Lieut. A. N. Parker, Aide; Lieut. W. A. Drennan, Ordinance Officer; E. M. AcAfee, Volunteer Aide; Major E. H. Cummins, Engineer Officer of Maury's Staff.
When the gunboat had escaped in Black River the regiment was taken to Fort Pemberton, at the confluence of the Yalobusha and Tallahatchie where Pemberton was withstanding another expedition of gunboats from the Mississippi River which had come down the Yazoo Pass. Here the famous steamer, Star of the West, fired upon at Charleston harbor January 9, 1861, and captured off Galveston, was sunk as an obstruction of the Tallahatchie. When the high water began to subside the Federal fleet retired. The brigade moved to Grenada and took train for Vicksburg about the time Grant landed his army at Bruinsburg below that city. After much marching and countermarching in the vicinity of Vicksburg they were near Edwards May 12. Advancing, on the night of May 15, the regiment went into bivouac not far from the camp of an artillery company which they supposed was Confederate, and the surprise was great early in the morning when the battery opened fire upon them. A hasty retreat was made in which General Loring and his staff took part, and the camp was necessarily abandoned. (Hirsch's sketch.) During the next day, May 16, the battle of Baker's Creek was fought by Lee and Stevenson, on the left of Loring, while a large Federal force lay quietly in front of Loring, except for the artillery firing, in which General Tilghman was killed, and repeated feints of advance for position. Late in the evening Featherston's Brigade was moved, after urgent orders to Loring, from the right wing to the left, to reinforce Stevenson and Lee. The brigade was put in position, Loring reported, to protect the rear of the retreating forces and to cover the failing back of Buford's Brigade, which duty was ably and gallantly executed. Featherston reported his engagement as a skirmish, in which his brigade behaved well, advancing twice and retiring when so ordered. On the retreat they followed General Loring, who considered it dangerous to cross the ford of Baker's Creek in their rear, and moved down the creek westward, and finally, in the night, marching past and through Federal bivouacs, they moved to Crystal Springs, and thence on the 21st to Jackson. The only casualties of the brigade in this battle were in the Twenty-second Regiment -- John McCrossen, Company D, mortally wounded, and John Berry, Company F, slightly wounded.
Under the command of General Johnston they moved to Canton and thence to the Big Black River. Captain Russell, of the Twenty-second, commanded the scouts in an expedition June 4 for the capture of a foraging party along the Big Black. When Vicksburg surrendered they fell back to Jackson, served in the fortified line (near the Moody place), besieged by Sherman July 9-16, and then fell back to Morton. The winter quarters were at Goodman. General Polk took command of the army, and as Sherman advanced from Vicksburg to Meridian, in February, 1864, Loring’s Division moved to Morton and thence to Demopolis, Ala. Early in April, 1864, under orders to reinforce Johnston in Georgia, they moved to Montevallo, Ala., and thence to Rome, Ga.
The regimental commanders during the Atlanta campaign were Major Martin A. Oatis, Lieut.-Col. H. J. Reid, Col. William N. Brown, Maj. James M. Stigler of regiment and First Battalion consolidated.
The regiment arrived at Resaca May 12, opened the battle on the 13th, was in reserve on the battle line next day, meeting the attack of McPherson, repulsed a charge May 15, and was under fire until the evacuation on the night of the 16th. Loring's Division brought up the rear. Featherston's Brigade skirmished at Cassville, and on the Dallas and New Hope Church line was in heavy skirmishing and under bombardment night and day. May 31 the brigade was ordered forward to feel the Federal position, and lost 24 killed and 98 wounded. At the base of Kenesaw Mountain, near Marietta, June 27, the brigade repulsed the Federal attack in their front. In general orders William Dennis, Company B; William Hatswell, Company C; and D. M. Dye, Company E, of the Twenty-second Regiment, were commended for gallantry, July 9. In the battle of Peachtree Creek, July 20, the regiment was commanded by Major Oatis, who was severely wounded, Captain J. T. Formby succeeding him. In this battle Company G, Captain Standley, was deployed as skirmishers. After the regiment had occupied the Federal rifle pits on the picket line, they advanced and were compelled to cross a boggy marsh in which some of the bravest and best men were killed by the terrible fire that was concentrated upon them. Yet they went on and drove the enemy from a line of rail works they were building, but were forced to retire to avoid capture. The casualties, 24 killed, 64 wounded, 5 missing. Ensign Michael Meagher, Private J. T. Longino, Company A, and Sergeant Harrison Bailey, Company B, all were shot down while carrying the colors. Adjutant C. V. H. Davis, while performing the same duty, and encouraging the men, was killed. Lieutenant Lea, Company C, bore the flag during the rest of the engagement. A newspaper report mentioned also Captains Gay, Farmbry, Hughes, severely wounded; Lieuts. Underwood, Roth, Blalock and Huntley, killed. At the evacuation of Atlanta the regiment was in battle at Rough and Ready, Jonesboro and Flint River. Roll of Honor, published August 10, 1864: Private J. W. Patterson, Company C, for meritorious conduct whilst on picket duty, July 9, 1864; William Dennis, Company B; William Hatswell, Company C; D. M. Nye, Company E.
In the October, 1864, campaign on the Chattanooga and Atlanta Railroad, Featherston's Brigade captured the Federal post at Big Shanty; was with Loring's Division in the capture of Acworth, and with Stewart's Corps in the destruction of the railroad between Dalton and Resaca, after which they moved through the mountains to Gadsden, Ala., skirmished at Decatur, October 26-29, and moved thence to Tuscumbia.
November 20 they crossed the Tennessee River with Stewart's Corps, the old Army of Mississippi, then reduced to 12,684 aggregate present, in its nine brigades. By December 9 the aggregate present was only 8,155, of which 1,208 were in Featherston's Brigade. November 26 they confronted Schofield at Columbia, on the 29th they marched toward Spring Hill, on the 30th they followed Schofield to Franklin on the Harpeth and joined with Cheatham's Corps in the memorable assault upon the Federal works. "The color bearers of the Third and Twenty-second planted their colors on the enemy's works, and were wounded and captured with their colors." (Featherston). Of the brigade 76 were killed, 200 wounded, 76 missing. In the investment of Thomas' army at Nashville Loring's Division held the front of the corps, a line of one mile across the Granny White pike, supported by redoubts on the summits of five hills. Maj. Martin A. Oatis was in command of the regiment on the 10th. December 15 Thomas attacked, carried two of the redoubts and broke the line. A second line was formed, Loring's Division formed a new line and checked the flank attack. December 16 they repulsed every attack until the line was broken on their left. On both days many were captured. At Columbia, December 20, Featherston's Brigade was one of the seven selected for Walthall to command as the rear guard of infantry, remaining in face of the enemy until the rest of the army had gained two days’ start. December 21 the brigade was reported 727 aggregate, the Twenty-second, 104. On the retreat they were in battle with their pursuers at Anthony Hill and Sugar Creek, gallantly and successfully, December 25-26.
They crossed the Tennessee River, December 28, and marched to winter quarters near Tupelo.
About the first of February, 1865, the remnant of Loring's Division began the movement to reinforce General Johnston in the Carolinas. They were ordered forward from Augusta, Ga., to Newberry, S. C., February 25. In the Carolina campaign against Sherman they participated in the battle of Kinston, March 10, and Bentonville, March 19-21, on the 19th making a gallant and successful charge, but with heavy loss. Organization of army under Gen. J. E. Johnston, near Smithfield, N. C., March 31, 1865, Featherston's Brigade commanded by Major Martin A. Oatis, the Twenty-second Regiment by Captain G. W. Standley. April 9, First, Twenty-second and Thirty-third Regiments and First Battalion consolidated as the Twenty-second Regiment, Col. Martin A. Oatis commanding. Hostilities were suspended April 18, the army was surrendered April 26 near Durham Station, and paroled at Greensboro.

The Koetting Family
Johann Jost Jodocus Kötting Johann Dederich Kötting Hilarius Hilger Heribert Kötting Goswin Kötting
Hilarius Hilgar Kötting Goswin "Gus" Kötting Englebert Kötting
(The family name is found as Kötting and Kotinge)
Sometime around 1625, the parents of Johann Kötting were born in the country of Prussia. At that time per share was one of four kingdoms that later united to become the German kingdom. Johann’s parents were married at circa 1645 in Prussia. Johann Jost Jodocus Kötting was born in circa 1650 and buried in 1670. He and his wife had a child,Theoderich Johann Dederich Kötting, that same year. Johann lived to be 78. He died December 6, 1728.
In or around 1713, when Theodorich would have been about 43 years old, he married Adelheid. Their first child,Heribert Hilarius Hilar Hilger Kötting was born on March 25, 1714 in either Grubelshof or Fernthal.
When Heribert grew up he married Gertrude Strunk (circa 1717-1743) at Neustadt/Weid. She died at Grubelshof, apparently childless at age 26. On May 7, 1744 Hilarius married Anna Maria Eulss (Euell) fo Grubbel. They were married at Neusstadt/Weid. On July 7, 1750 (when Heribert was about 36), they had a son named Johann Goswin Kötting. Heribert (called Hilarius), died at age 53 when Johann was about 16 years old. His mother, Anna Maria, lived to be 61 years old. Johann may have been known by his middle name, Goswin, and he married Maria Catherine Heinz on February 4, 1772. In 1776, they had their second child and named him Johann Hilger Hilarius Kötting. He was born at Fernthal. They had about eight children and most of them bore the same first name, Anna for girls and Johann for the boys. Maria died seven months after the birth of her last child, Johann Christian. Three months later, Johann married his second wife, Anna Sophia Schmitz, herself a widow. Three of Goswin and the Maria's children died before reaching their teen years.
Young Johann Hilger Merida Maria Magdalena Helena Over at Waldbreitbach on May 20, 1811. Johan was called Hilarius or “Hilar”. He and Maria had a son named Goswin (Gus) born August 7, 1825, the last of five children. Maria died away and Gus was 10. She had TB. When Gus (who was 7 feet tall) was 24 he married Timothea Hopp at Breitscheid on February 13, 1849.
In 1865, Gus and Timothea had bore nine children. The first child, Gertrude, had died when she was four months old. The second oldest living child was Engelbert, born April 27, 1853. When he was 12 years old and his mother was 3 1/2 months pregnant with her chance child, the family set sail for the US on the Germania out of Hamburg. The children's ages were 14, 12, 10, 9, 7, 5, 4 and 2. Gus’s father, Hilarius had died 11 years earlier.
The Kötting’s had their tenth child (ninth living child) in America on April 1, 1866 at Loose Creek Missouri. They apparently had another daughter, Leona, in 1870. Her three a mediate older sisters all became nuns. Their father, Gus, died of March 27, 1910 at Linn, Osage County, Missouri at the Kötting Hotel. He is buried at Frankenstein in Osage County on the Lewis and Clark Trail. His wife, Timothea had died in Missouri, February 24, 1906.
About a year before the Köttings sailed to America, Rosa Linda (nee Daniel) Pautler was born on January 30, 1864 in Williamsville, Erie County, New York (near Buffalo) at 142 Mill Street. Her mother had been born at the same house

Mississippi Territory
The Territory of Mississippi was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from April 7, 1798, until December 10, 1817, when the final extent of the territory was admitted to the Union as the state of Mississippi.
The Mississippi Territory was expanded in 1804 and again in 1812 until it extended from the Gulf of Mexico to the southern border of Tennessee. (Georgia gave up the northern portion in 1802, and the Gulf Coast region was acquired from Spain.) Originally Mississippi Territory included what is now Alabama, and 9 months before Mississippi was admitted into the Union in 1817, the Alabama Territory to the east was separated out on March 3. [1] On December 10, 1817, Mississippi was admitted to the Union as the 20th state.[1]

The above companies were ordered to Corinth and enlisted in the Confederate service May 13-15, 1861, for twelve months. The date of organization of the Thirteenth Regiment is May 14, 1861, William Barksdale being elected Colonel. Soon afterward the regiment was ordered to Union City, Tenn., where it remained attached to the army under General Polk until ordered to Lynchburg, whither the regiment started July 14. Immediately on reaching Lynchburg they were ordered to Manassas, and reached the railroad junction during the night of July 20 and the morning of the 21st, the day of the battle. As soon as possible they were advanced to the field, with much marching and countermarching in the intense heat and stifling dust. The orders were to report to General Longstreet, but for convenience they were attached to Jubal A. Early's brigade, which was stationed in the rear of Beauregard's line on Bull Run, near McLean's ford. The famous battle of the 21st was brought on by the Federals attacking on the Confederate flank, behind the run. This battle raged from ten o’clock, and General Early did not get orders to participate in it until two, when he immediately marched to the scene of conflict. "This brigade," Beauregard reported, "was marched by the Holtham house across the fields to the left, . . . and under a severe fire into a position in line of battle near Chinn's house, outflanking the enemy's right. At this time the enemy had formed a line of truly formidable proportions. The woods and fields were filled with their masses of infantry and cavalry. It was a magnificent spectacle as they threw forward their cloud of skirmishers on the slopes of the ridge for another attack. But as Early formed his line Elzey's brigade and other regiments advanced, almost simultaneously, with great spirit from their various positions. At the same time, too, Early resolutely assailed their right flank and rear." It was then the rout began.
Casualties: 6 wounded in the Thirteenth.
After this the regiment was assigned to the brigade tinder Gen. N. G. Evans, including the Seventeenth and Eighteenth, stationed in the vicinity of Leesburg. October 20 they marched from Goose Creek to Fort Evans, on the Potomac. October 21 a force of the enemy crossed the river from Maryland, under Colonel Baker, and after the first encounter had been sustained by a company of the Seventeenth Mississippi, four detached companies, including Fletcher's of the Thirteenth became warmly engaged and drove back the Federal advances. While the other regiments met the Federal advance from Ball's Bluff and achieved a famous victory, Barksdale's remaining nine companies held back the other columns of the enemy at Edwards ferry, remaining there after the others had gone back to Leesburg with the Federal prisoners. Next day Barksdale attacked the Federals who had crossed the river on his front and drove them to the river with heavy loss. The loss of the regiment was 4 killed, 2 wounded, 1 missing. Eckford's and Randall's companies were the advance line in this engagement. The Attala men, under Fletcher, were distinguished in the Ball's Bluff battle, several of them being among the first to reach a Federal battery, which was captured.
The winter camp was at Catoctin Mountain, near Leesburg. The regiment was assigned to the Mississippi brigade organized under Gen. Richard Griffith, who took command at a brigade review at Camp Carolina December 9, 1861.
After the retreat to Culpepper and transfer to Yorktown, the regiment was reorganized for three years of the war, April 26, 1862. They were not in battle on the Yorktown line or during the retreat, and though under fire at Seven Pines, were not actively engaged.
Before the seven days' battles before Richmond, June, 1862, Griffith's brigade included with the Thirteenth, the Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Twenty-first, and was part of Magruder's division, which first went into battle on the 29th, on the railroad near Savage Station. In the opening of this action General Griffith was mortally wounded, and his place was taken by Colonel Barksdale. The Thirteenth was employed during this battle as reserve for McLaw's division. At the battle of Malvern Hill, July 1, the brigade was formed in line of battle in a wood, under fire of batteries and gunboats, after which, at about six o'clock in the evening, they made a charge, attempting to carry the Federal batteries. Here Lieutenant-Colonel Carter was wounded, and Major McElroy took command. Colonel Barksdale praised the conduct of Major Inge, Adjutant-General, and Captain Costin, Aide-de-Camp. Major Watts and Hawkins, of the brigade staff, were required to attend the dying General. The Thirteenth gained an advanced position and held it for nearly an hour without support.
The loss of the Thirteenth in both engagements was 28 killed and 107 wounded.
McElroy, promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel, commanded the regiment in the Maryland campaign September, 1862. With McLaw's division they diverged from Lee's column to cooperate with Jackson's corps in the capture of Harper's Ferry. On the 12th Barksdale's and Kershaw's South Carolina brigade began to scale the Maryland heights, Major J. M. Bradley commanding the pickets on the left of the line, skirmishing with the Federal troops on the mountain. Next day Kershaw attacked the entrenched line in front and Barksdale on the flank and rear, and possession of the mountain was secured after severe fighting. The Thirteenth was left on the mountain as a garrison when the brigade moved to Brownsville to meet an expected attack, and thence to join the main army. They reached the battlefield of Sharpsburg after the battle had been raging for several hours. The brigade had been on constant duty for five or six days, marching throughout two nights, and many of the men had succumbed to fatigue. The brigade went into battle with less than 900 men and officers, formed line of battle in an open field swept by a terrible fire of artillery, advanced and drove the enemy from a wood in front, and held that position, the Thirteenth and Eighteenth defeating a flank attack. McElroy, though wounded, remained in command of his regiment. Surgeon Austin was honorably mentioned for faithful attention to the wounded. The regiment, taking 202 into battle, lost 6 killed, 54 wounded, 2 missing.
At Fredericksburg, December 11, 1862, Colonel Carter marched his regiment to Carolina Street at five o'clock in the morning, where they remained until four P.M. to support the Seventeenth at the river side. Ten sharpshooters were sent to assist Colonel Fiser, but no other service was required of the regiment. But they were all the time under a very heavy and destructive fire from the Federal batteries. After the enemy effected a landing, the Thirteenth, holding Princess Anne Street, by a determined fight held them back for two hours. Capt. G. L. Donald, in command of several companies, was commended by the Colonel. Capt. J. L. Clark was killed by a solid shot early in the morning. Capt. T. W. Thurman was dangerously wounded and captured. Lieut. J. M. Stovall, missing, was supposed to be dead. The total loss was 7 killed, 59 wounded
14 captured.
April 29, 1863, part of the Federal army crossed the Rappahannock at Deep Run, and Barksdale's brigade was left with Early's division to observe them, while the remainder of Lee's army moved toward Chancellorsville. Early was moving in the same direction when the Federal troops made another crossing at Fredericksburg. Barksdale had a line of three miles to cover, with the Thirteenth on the right. After a desperate resistance against the entire Federal advance, Barksdale's line was broken, when he moved the Thirteenth and Seventeenth in position to check the enemy and protect the rear, which they did, with the aid of artillery. The loss of the regiment was 7 killed and 43 wounded. They were quartered at Fredericksburg until June 3, when they began the march to the valley and Pennsylvania.
At Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, July 2, 1863, the Thirteenth, in Barksdale's brigade, fought in the battle against the south wing of the Federal army. At six in the evening, when Sickles still held the peach orchard after a terrific fight, McLaws ordered an assault, and the storming columns of Barksdale and Wofford, "yelling like demons, black with smoke and lusting for hand-to-hand conflict," soon opened a gap in the line of blue. The Federals fell back toward and across Plum Run, toward the base of Round Top, and the onslaught was continued. "Barksdale, conspicuous on horseback, led his Southern riflemen, who singlehanded had barred the passage of the whole Federal army at Fredericksburg, right into the hostile masses, where he fell mortally wounded, and whence the remnants of his gallant troops cut their way back with difficulty through the enveloping masses of Blue infantry." (Battine's "Crisis of the Confederacy.") Barksdale's loss in killed and wounded was the heaviest of any brigade in Longstreet's corps and the heaviest of any in Lee's army, except two North Carolina Brigades and Davis' Mississippi brigade. The loss of the Thirteenth was 28 killed, 137 wounded, of whom 86 were left in the field hospital when the army retreated.
After the return to Virginia the regiment participated in the movement of Longstreet's corps by way of Richmond and South Carolina to Atlanta and North Georgia, reaching Ringgold after the battle of Chickamauga was begun. By a night march they arrived on the field on the morning of September 20 and went into battle in support of General Hood, who broke the Federal line. Their last fighting that day was at Snodgrass Hill, where the victory was completed at dusk. Casualties, 1 killed, 7 wounded.
Advancing toward Chattanooga they were on duty during the siege until November 4, when they left the base of Lookout Mountain for the campaign in East Tennessee. They crossed the Tennessee River, skirmished at Campbell’s Station November 16, and were in line for the siege of Knoxville about November 20. Under the command of Colonel McElroy, with the Seventeenth Regiment, and supported by three Georgia regiments, all under the command of Gen. B. G. Humphreys, they made the famous assault upon Fort Loudon, November 29, 1863. After working their way through a tangled abatis, they charged the works, through a wire netting and a deep ditch, and clambered up a parapet ten or twelve feet high, slippery with ice. Some of the officers and men gained the summit of the parapet but they were shot down and dragged others down in falling. All the time they were under a furious fire from another part of the fort. Here Kennon McElroy was killed. "The loss of the heroic McElroy is irreparable," wrote General Humphreys . "He was shot at the angle of the wall at the head of his regiment," wrote General Longstreet. "He was a man of very fine courage, united to a self-possession on all occasions, with a knowledge of his duties and a natural capacity for command which inspired confidence and made him always conspicuous."
After leaving Knoxville the brigade was sent, December 16, to Clinch Mountain Gap, where a body of the enemy fled at their approach. Major Donald, commanding the Thirteenth, was sent in pursuit, and he captured the camp and outfit of the One Hundred and Seventeenth Indiana, which was very welcome.
The winter quarters were at Russellville, Tenn., whence they moved in the last of March to Bristol. At Gordonsville, Va., May 3, they received orders to join General Lee on the Rappahannock. May 6, with the advance of Longstreet's corps, they went into battle in the Wilderness, Major Donald commanding, winning new renown on that bloody field. They were in almost constant action and frequent battles throughout the campaign of 1864, at Spottsylvania Courthouse, May 8-12; at, Hanover Junction, May 27; at Cold Harbor early in June, and at Petersburg June 19. In the latter part of July they were sent from the Petersburg lines to support Early in the Shenandoah Valley, where they were in the engagements at Berryville, Charlestown, Rockfish Gap, and Cedar Creek.
In the Wilderness battles the regiment had 18 killed, 61 wounded, 12 missing. Among the severely wounded were Lieut. William Davis (Company C), Captain Currie, Lieut. R. C. Kelly (Company I).
The returns, in October, after this battle show Major Donald in command of the brigade.
At the battle of Cedar Creek, October 19, the brigade was conspicuous in taking the Federal position in the early part of the battle. When the return attack was delivered by Sheridan the brigade met the advance coolly and with an effective fire. It was not until their flank was exposed by the panic in other commands that they yielded.
November 20 they returned to Richmond and during the winter they were posted at Garnett's farm and on the Darbytwn and Newmarket roads. April 1-2 they marched through Richmond and began the retreat to Appomattox Courthouse.
In the final returns the remnant of the heroic Thirteenth was commanded by Lieut. W. H. Davis.

Our Davidson-Davison Family
GenerationsCompiled by Mary Ellen White
CHILDREN OF JAMES DAVIDSON
VIII. ELIZA DAVIDSON
Born: Sept 16 1822, Monroe Co. Ala. Died: Sept. 10, 1895, Lauderdale Co.
Married: CAPT. JOHN BROWN (b.1813Al) Oct. 4, 1838, Monroe Co, Ala.
Eliza fell in love with John Brown when she was just a child, twelve
years old. They were going to get married and there is a record of John
Brown applying for a license in Perry County, Ala. in 1834, but the
wedding never took place. Her folks put a stop to it.
However, when she was sixteen, they did get married in Monroe County,
with her parents' blessings. John was about nine years older than Eliza.
John and Eliza owned land in Sec.25 and 31 on Township 9, Range 7E,
in Monroe County, and lived there until they decided to go west to join
John's brother in Lauderdale County, Mississippi. In 1843 the sold
their land to Whitson Green for $400, and in 1846, they loaded up on
wagons and joined a train to go to Mississippi. Other members of the
Davidson and Brown families were in that wagon train - Randolph Brown
and his family, the John Talberts, Eliza's brother Hughey and his wife
and children. It was a long, hard trip to their new home, across hills,
swamps, the big Tombigbee and Alabama Rivers, which had to be ferried.7
What a relief it must have been to arrive at the Arthur Brown home in
Lauderdale County after weeks of being on the road, fighting mosquitoes
and cooking over campfires.
John began to look for land to buy to begin a new farm, and soon found
what he wanted. He bought land in the Northwest quarter of Section 36,
Township 8, Range 15E. Their new farm joined the land of little
Gumlog church, the Fellowship Primative Baptist. There was no house on
their land and it had to be cleared before cotton could be planted, but
John and Eliza were both young and strong and had hopes of turning it
into a fine plantation.
They continued to live in their wagons and camp while John felled
the trees to build their new log house. Rabdolph Brown bought land
just north of John and Eliza and it is likelu that they traded work
with the ardest parts of the job. It was the custom back then for the
'settled' families to greet newcomers and to aid them in house-raisings
and build barn-buildings. The counry was yet hardly settled and new neigh-
bors were greatly welcomed. In those early days one of their main forms
of entertainment was for the community to come together with baskets of
food and tools to work with, for a day of helping each other with some
big jobs that needed doing, They had log rollings, quilting, corn husk-
ings, whatever needed doing, If a neighbor broke his leg or got a fever,
the otheres of the community got together to gather his crop; this custom
outlived the frontier stage and lasted up until modern times and the auto-
moblie.
Eliza, a social person, must have fit in well with the other ladies,
as they shared their saved seeds, their patterns and their recipies. The
Browns were church-going folks and never missed attending the services
at the Fellowship Baptist Church. Soon after they arrived, John was
elected church clerk. Eliza felt that just because they lived in a
wilderness was no excuse for being uncouth. The church house was a
rude log cabin with a sawdust floor, but she always dressed in her very
best shawl and bonnet to attend services. She was appalled when she saw
the buckskined pioneers spit tobacco juice on the floor of the Lord's
house, and could hardly hold her tongue until she got home. She felt
that they could a least try to act civilized.
The community did become more 'civilized' with time. By 1860, John
and Eliza were respected members of a more developed society. There
was Bailey Store two miles south of their farm, and Rushing's Store a
short distance to the northwest, although they raised most of the things
they needed on their farm. Slaves were very expensive, but they had
been able to buy a few, and that helped greatly with all the work that
was needed to keep their place growing and producing.
As the years passed, John and Eliza's family increased. Eliza's eleven-
th and last baby, Susan Catherine, was born in 1861. Eliza, at 39, was
still a young woman. All her children were well and growing, except for
her firstborn, little William, who had died when he was a year old and
another baby, James, who died at birth. They were comfortably well-
off financially, Eliza was mistress of a sturdy log home which she ran
as it were on of the fine houses in Charleston. She was always busy
at some household task and she trained her daughters to help and to thus
become good housewives. She had negros to keep busy, which was a chore
in itself. There was cooking, canning, preserving, sewing, mending, wash-8
ing, ironing, spinning, weaving, cleaning, polishing, etc., etc. that
kept Eliza busy, either working with the other women of the household
or directing their labors. Hers was a busy but a content life.
Then came the war years. John, at forty-eight, didn't get into the
conflict at first. He felt that the younger men could go and get the
job over with quickly. As the conflict dragged on it became apparent
that all were needed to save the South, and John joined the Confederate
Army. Since he had had military training in his younger days, he was
made a Captain and placed in charge or training the Southern plowboys
and coon-hunters to be soldiers. He was stationed close to home at
first and Eliza saw him often, but later he was sent to Corinth in
the northern part of the state and then on into Tennessee.
Their oldest son, George, was seventeen and went off right away to
fight. He was killed toward the end of the war, and then Eliza's next
son, Fayette, ran away to fight the Yankees and to avenge his brother's
death. He was fourteen when he left, just a boy that thought he was a
a man. He was killed in 1863.
Eliza tried to keep the farm running while the men were away. The war
years dragged on, a troubled time of hardship and privation.
Eliza's oldest daughter, Sanai, had become a young lady and was mar-
ried to a young neighbor Who left near the beginning to fight at Vicks-
burg. Sinai had a baby, a little girl born while the father was away.
The young mother never regained her strength and died in 1862. Grief-
stricken, Eliza lavished her love on her tiny grandchild. After the
wae the father returned, but by that time, Eliza couldn't bear to give
the child up. She pleaded to keep little Averella and the father, with
his own world in turmoil, agreed to give her up. Averilla grew up as
another of the Brown children in the only home that she had ever known.
Home from the fighting, Capt. John Brown's religious experience was
even greater than before. He and Eliza felt that their faith had help-
ed them weather the past trials and had made them even stronger. John
wanted to become a minister and so to help othere to find their way.
He was ordained by the eldersof the Felllowship Church and began to
preach. He soon became the regular minister of the Gumlog Fellowship
Church, and remained the leader of the church for years, as long as
his health would permit.
Times were hard, terribly hard, in the next few years. John and Eliza
lost part of their farm because they could not pay the high taxes that
were imposed following the Civil War. They were able to keep the land
where their home was located, and slowly, by careful management, things
began to improve for them, John's brother Ran, lost his farm and moved
over to Duffee, where he was able to get another place. Eliza must have
been saddened to see her sister Jennie leave, as they had lived next to
each other always, before. Ran built a little church on his farm at
Duffee and John rode over there twice a month to hold servced there.
Many times Eliza would go along to visit Jennie.
When she was 73, sprightly, busy Eliza became ill. It was strange
to think of her being in bed as long as there was work yet to be done.
She died on 10 September, 1895. John buried her in the graveyard beside
the Gumlog Church.
