951	They lived at Newkirk, Oklahoma.	Little, Griff (I3656)
952	This is a Message Board Post. Author: KarylonRussell44 Surnames: Hodges, Hallmark, Rutherford, Collins http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.texas.counties.houston/224.548.1169.1170.1.1.1.2.2.1.1/mb.ashx I am a descendant of Edmond Hodges' youngest child, Sarah, who was called Sallie. Although some state her middle name was Rutherford, I have found NO PROOF of that as of this time. One reason WHY she is often omitted in the list of children for Edmond is because she was born a few months AFTER HE DIED in Hardeman Co. TN. When her mother, siblings, came to Texas, they settled in Houston Co., where Sarah first met the Hallmark family. She married James Minet Charles Pierson Hallmark, called JIM, probably in Houston Co., where records were lost, around 1849. Sarah Hodges, the mother, is living in her home on the census there in 1850, probably because the daughter was in the last stages of pregnancy with her first child. The son was born late in 1850 in Houston Co.--Richard Edmond Hallmark, called ED later on. The Hallmarks were still in Houston Co. when State took the Scholastic Census around 1855, but they soon joined other relatives where the father, Richard Hallmark, and some of the Ruthefords, had moved on Hallmark land granted him in Bastrop Co. This land, however, was at the very TIP of the diamond-shaped county, and right on the county line of Caldwell, Gonzales, and Fayette, plus very near Lavaca Co., around JEDDO. In 1860, the James Hallmark family is found in Lavaca Co. TX living NEXT DOOR to Sarah's brother, Jacob Mickler Hodges and family. Tax rolls and deeds there show the Hallmarks only stayed there about 3 years, before returning to Bastrop Co. The census taker in 1860 must have had a hearing problem, as the family is listed under James DALMARK, and there are many errors in regard to some of the family's children, with both names and correct sex. At least by 1865, James M. Hallmark and family joined other family members in Bell County, where Richard Hallmark had also received land grants on Coryell/Bell lines---today on land NOW inside Ft. Hood, around Sugarloaf Mountain. It was here in 1866 that my ggrandfather, William Andrew Jackson JACK Hallmark was born. Deeds and tax records show the family left Bell Co. in the late 1860's, but WHERE they went from there is not known UNTIL they show up on very early Limestone Co. TX records. Sarah died in Limestone Co. around 1876, and she is buried in the Faulkenberry Cem. out of Grosbeck, with some members of the Rutherford family. Sarah and James Minet had 10 children, 8 boys, 2 girls. ALL lived to be quite old, except for one girl who died in childbirth at a young age. He had 3 sons by his second wife. The family is shown in 1880 Limestone Co. TX, the same county as other members of the Hodges and Rutherford Counties. In the early 1880's, some of Hetty & Lindsey Rutherford's sons had taken up land in Llano Co. on the Llano River. James moved his family up near them, only he took up land on the north side of the river, whereas others were on the south side. Also coming as James Dillon Collins, now the husband of Martha Jane Rutherford, the dtr. of Hetty and Lindsey, whose land was also on the south side of the river. James Minet Hallmark DIED there around 1895, being buried in the Pennington Cem., on Pennington Creek, a tributary of the Llano River on the north side. James Dillon Collins is also buried there, but floods prevented his body from being buried next to his wife, Martha, who is in a small cemetery on the south side of the river. To complicate matters, daughter, Lydia Ann Parthena Collins, married son of James Minet and Sarah Hallmark--Wm. Andrew Jackson, my ggrandparents. Lydia and young daughter Hetty were visiting family around Leon/Limestone Co. line near Thornton in the late 1890's when they took sick and died. Both are buried in the Tidwell Cem. NEXT TO family of Jacob Mickler Hodges and his Rutherford wife. It is interesting that the old mother, SARAH HODGES, is listed TWICE in the 1850 Census for Houston Co.--in both the home of Abel Hodges and Sarah Hodges Hallmark. This was not that uncommon, however, and it is my feeling that she normally lived with Abel, but had briefly gone to be with Sarah pending the birth of her first child. Unfortunately, although pension records indicate the old Mother did NOT die until around 1880, she has NOT been found on any other census roll since 1850. James Minet and Sarah also seem to have completely MISSED being enumerated in 1870, but correspondence in the mother's pension indicate she rotated around among relatives the rest of her life.

953	This is a very complicated branch of the Mirick-Sliter tree. JD "Buddy" 'Mirick married Dorene Sliter. Mary (also know as Mariah) was Dorene's aunt, her father's sister, married Johnnie Mirick, who was Buddy's dad. Now that made Dorene's aunt her mother-in-law. OH-BOY! This is the things that make the South so wonderful. Ha, ha, ha.	Sliter, Geneva Dorene (I4341)

955	Thomas Ephraim Hunter was a son of Henry Jesse Hunter (b.1832 AL d.1885 TX) and Nancy Angeline Jeter (b.1834 GA d.1929 OK). The family was living in Union County, Arkansas when Thomas was born. Sometime before 1860, the family moved to the area of Marion, Union County, Louisiana. In 1862, Thomas' father enlisted in the 25th Louisiana Infantry of the Confederate Army. After the war, sometime before 1870, they moved to the Mount Pleasant area of Titus County, Texas. Sometime during the 1870s they moved to McLennan County, Texas. Thomas married Amanda Roxanna Carter on Sept. 12, 1877 (license acquired in Coryell County). In September 1878, their only child, Artie Belle, was born (probably in McLennan County). From then on, Thomas E.'s and Amanda's story was linked with Artie. Artie married Thomas B. Thompson on Aug. 12, 1896 in McLennan County. Soon after, Thomas Hunter and wife accompanied Artie and her husband in a move to Van Zandt County, Texas. Amanda's sister Belle Carter Cary and husband Brook moved with them, as well as T.E.'s brother John R. Hunter. Artie gave T.E. and Amanda two grandchildren in 1902 and 1905. Then, Artie became very ill. T.E. and Amanda moved with T.B. and Artie to Dallas about 1907 so that Artie could be near doctors. While there, in 1908, Artie had her last child. It became apparent Artie was not going to recover from her illness (pellagra). About 1910, Thos. E. and wife moved with Artie and T.B. to Caddo Mills in Hunt County. Artie died there in 1913. Thos. E. and Amanda continued to live with T.B. Thompson and his children until Amanda herself died in 1917. Before her death, they had made yet another move to Branch in Collin County. After his wife's death, Thos. E. would go each year to West Texas to pick cotton and also to sell salve which he made himself. He died April 18, 1928 in the home of his granddaughter Katrean.

967	Tyson Nealy Hardy, also known as Tice, was born 22 October 1905 to William Thomas Hardy and Willie May Johnson in Chilton, Falls County, Texas. In 1924 Tice met and married Lillian Inez Betz. They had one son, Clarence Wendell Hardy, September 6th, 1925. He was accused of murder in 1926 after a tragic mishap between friends on a fishing trip at the Brazos River near Horseshoe Bend, Falls County, Texas. There are several newspaper articles on the case and at one point the father and brother of the young man that disappeared, shot at Tice in the court room. There has been nothing found about how the trial ended but it is assumed that without a body there wasn't much to go on for the prosecution. Tice took his family to Sweetwater, Texas where they had another son, Allen Ray Hardy, March 30th, 1930. In October 1934 Tyson met and married a young girl, Zada Latham, 19 years old of Big Springs, Texas. They had a baby girl, Wynona Mae Hardy born February 2, 1935. Tice moved to California and worked as a ranch hand. In 1939 he met Lora Mae (Meler) Jeter who was on a trip from New Mexico to California with her brother Tom. She was from Washita Oklahoma and they married in Yuma, Arizona then moved to New Mexico where Lora was a teacher. Tice registered for military in 1940 in New Mexico and worked in a defense plant. Tice and Lora moved to Ventura California and he worked in real-estate for 15 years. Tice suffered a series of strokes and died November 15th, 1981.

998	Washington Post article, March 7, 1907: GOES INTO THE WORLD Member Woman's Community [known as Sanctified Sisters] Now Federal Clerk. Ambitious To Do Something. Miss Susie Carter Accepts Position with the Agricultural Department, but Retains Membership in the Community Which Stands for Celibacy and Communism -- Never Thinks of Marriage. Miss Susie Carter, a member of the Woman's Commonwealth, a community that makes celibacy and communism its religion, whose founders came to Washington a little more than two years ago from Texas, has been appointed to a position in the Department of Agriculture. This is a new departure, for in all the history of the community no member has broken away and gone so far into the world as to seek an outside occupation. Of course many sew or paint or write and they keep boarders, but for one of the young women to mingle with the world is most unheard of, and a matter which, at the Commonwealth, as their residence, 1437 Ewing street, is called, is not to be discussed. Miss Carter became a member of the community at the age of two, her mother, Mrs. R.S. Carter, joining at that time and taking with her three little daughters, one of whom died a short time ago. The other sister of Miss Carter is still a member. Unlike her companions, Miss Carter gave way to her ambitions to do something for herself, and the education usually given to the young girls of the community not satisfying her, she entered several schools, making a particular study of stenography and typewriting. Got Clerkship in February. In this she became expert, successfully passed the civil service examination, and last month was appointed a clerk in the Department of Agriculture in the division of publications. March 1 she was transferred to the forestry division. Miss Carter is a charming young woman, level headed, and perfectly capable of taking care of herself. She rather resents the attitude taken toward her by the public in general, or those she meets in her work. "They look at me as though I were a curiosity," she says. "They point me out and speak of me as being one of the man haters, I don't know why, but everybody seems to know about me. Nobody seems to understand. It is my life and the members of the community are my people, and I love them all." When asked about men and whether she was afraid of them, or if she ever thought of marriage, she said: "Why, no; we don't believe in it, and besides, we never meet men in a social way. We never have anything to do with them except strictly on business." Community is Wealthy. The community is a wealthy one. In addition to the house on Irving street, it owns a fine country place in Montgomery County, Md., where the members can go when they feel so inclined. There are now about fifteen or sixteen members, all of whom are women past middle age, with the exception of Miss Carter, her sister and two other young women. Miss Fanny Holtzclaw is president of the organization. Great notoriety was given the community two years ago by the elopement of one of the young woman members, and for months after the other young women, whose names were made public in connection with the affair were deluged with communications from all over the country, proposing marriage, offering money and homes, and wishing exchange of letters and pictures. All this annoyed the president so much that no newspaper representative is allowed now to cross the threshold of the home." [Note: Within four years of this article's publication, Susie had left the commune and was giving Valentine dances in her home.] Washington Post, 6-7-1958: CARTER, SUSIE E. On Monday, January 6, 1958, at her home, 1841 Columbia rd., nw., SUSIE E. CARTER, aunt of Mrs. Walter E. Binley and Mrs. Josephine Binley Reavis, Miss Carter rests at the Warner E.

Surnames: Hodges, Hallmark, Rutherford, Collins

I am a descendant of Edmond Hodges' youngest child, Sarah, who was called Sallie. Although some state her middle name was Rutherford, I have found NO PROOF of that as of this time. One reason WHY she is often omitted in the list of children for Edmond is because she was born a few months AFTER HE DIED in Hardeman Co. TN.

When her mother, siblings, came to Texas, they settled in Houston Co., where Sarah first met the Hallmark family. She married James Minet Charles Pierson Hallmark, called JIM, probably in Houston Co., where records were lost, around 1849. Sarah Hodges, the mother, is living in her home on the census there in 1850, probably because the daughter was in the last stages of pregnancy with her first child. The son was born late in 1850 in Houston Co.--Richard Edmond Hallmark, called ED later on.

The Hallmarks were still in Houston Co. when State took the Scholastic Census around 1855, but they soon joined other relatives where the father, Richard Hallmark, and some of the Ruthefords, had moved on Hallmark land granted him in Bastrop Co. This land, however, was at the very TIP of the diamond-shaped county, and right on the county line of Caldwell, Gonzales, and Fayette, plus very near Lavaca Co., around JEDDO.

In 1860, the James Hallmark family is found in Lavaca Co. TX living NEXT DOOR to Sarah's brother, Jacob Mickler Hodges and family. Tax rolls and deeds there show the Hallmarks only stayed there about 3 years, before returning to Bastrop Co. The census taker in 1860 must have had a hearing problem, as the family is listed under James DALMARK, and there are many errors in regard to some of the family's children, with both names and correct sex.

At least by 1865, James M. Hallmark and family joined other family members in Bell County, where Richard Hallmark had also received land grants on Coryell/Bell lines---today on land NOW inside Ft. Hood, around Sugarloaf Mountain. It was here in 1866 that my ggrandfather, William Andrew Jackson JACK Hallmark was born.

Deeds and tax records show the family left Bell Co. in the late 1860's, but WHERE they went from there is not known UNTIL they show up on very early Limestone Co. TX records. Sarah died in Limestone Co. around 1876, and she is buried in the Faulkenberry Cem. out of Grosbeck, with some members of the Rutherford family.

Sarah and James Minet had 10 children, 8 boys, 2 girls. ALL lived to be quite old, except for one girl who died in childbirth at a young age. He had 3 sons by his second wife. The family is shown in 1880 Limestone Co. TX, the same county as other members of the Hodges and Rutherford Counties.

In the early 1880's, some of Hetty & Lindsey Rutherford's sons had taken up land in Llano Co. on the Llano River. James moved his family up near them, only he took up land on the north side of the river, whereas others were on the south side. Also coming as James Dillon Collins, now the husband of Martha Jane Rutherford, the dtr. of Hetty and Lindsey, whose land was also on the south side of the river.

James Minet Hallmark DIED there around 1895, being buried in the Pennington Cem., on Pennington Creek, a tributary of the Llano River on the north side. James Dillon Collins is also buried there, but floods prevented his body from being buried next to his wife, Martha, who is in a small cemetery on the south side of the river. To complicate matters, daughter, Lydia Ann Parthena Collins, married son of James Minet and Sarah Hallmark--Wm. Andrew Jackson, my ggrandparents.

Lydia and young daughter Hetty were visiting family around Leon/Limestone Co. line near Thornton in the late 1890's when they took sick and died. Both are buried in the Tidwell Cem. NEXT TO family of Jacob Mickler Hodges and his Rutherford wife.

It is interesting that the old mother, SARAH HODGES, is listed TWICE in the 1850 Census for Houston Co.--in both the home of Abel Hodges and Sarah Hodges Hallmark. This was not that uncommon, however, and it is my feeling that she normally lived with Abel, but had briefly gone to be with Sarah pending the birth of her first child. Unfortunately, although pension records indicate the old Mother did NOT die until around 1880, she has NOT been found on any other census roll since 1850. James Minet and Sarah also seem to have completely MISSED being enumerated in 1870, but correspondence in the mother's pension indicate she rotated around among relatives the rest of her life.

This is a very complicated branch of the Mirick-Sliter tree. JD "Buddy" 'Mirick married Dorene Sliter. Mary (also know as Mariah) was Dorene's aunt, her father's sister, married Johnnie Mirick, who was Buddy's dad. Now that made Dorene's aunt her mother-in-law. OH-BOY! This is the things that make the South so wonderful. Ha, ha, ha.

Thomas Ephraim Hunter was a son of Henry Jesse Hunter (b.1832 AL d.1885 TX) and Nancy Angeline Jeter (b.1834 GA d.1929 OK). The family was living in Union County, Arkansas when Thomas was born. Sometime before 1860, the family moved to the area of Marion, Union County, Louisiana. In 1862, Thomas' father enlisted in the 25th Louisiana Infantry of the Confederate Army. After the war, sometime before 1870, they moved to the Mount Pleasant area of Titus County, Texas. Sometime during the 1870s they moved to McLennan County, Texas.
Thomas married Amanda Roxanna Carter on Sept. 12, 1877 (license acquired in Coryell County). In September 1878, their only child, Artie Belle, was born (probably in McLennan County). From then on, Thomas E.'s and Amanda's story was linked with Artie. Artie married Thomas B. Thompson on Aug. 12, 1896 in McLennan County. Soon after, Thomas Hunter and wife accompanied Artie and her husband in a move to Van Zandt County, Texas. Amanda's sister Belle Carter Cary and husband Brook moved with them, as well as T.E.'s brother John R. Hunter.
Artie gave T.E. and Amanda two grandchildren in 1902 and 1905. Then, Artie became very ill. T.E. and Amanda moved with T.B. and Artie to Dallas about 1907 so that Artie could be near doctors. While there, in 1908, Artie had her last child. It became apparent Artie was not going to recover from her illness (pellagra). About 1910, Thos. E. and wife moved with Artie and T.B. to Caddo Mills in Hunt County. Artie died there in 1913.
Thos. E. and Amanda continued to live with T.B. Thompson and his children until Amanda herself died in 1917. Before her death, they had made yet another move to Branch in Collin County. After his wife's death, Thos. E. would go each year to West Texas to pick cotton and also to sell salve which he made himself.
He died April 18, 1928 in the home of his granddaughter Katrean.

Thomas was the son of Brook Cary and his wife, Anna Bell Carter.

Thomas married Ollie E. Murphrey on 15 Feb 1893 in Van Zandt County, Texas. They had three children.

Note: I may have the parents wrong. The 1900 Van Zandt County, Texas census lists the parents as Brook Cary (born: July 1849 in Texas); Sallie A. (born: Oct. 1854 in Tennessee) and children: Wade T. (born: June 1882 in Texas), Elmer (born: Sept. 1885 in Texas), Letha (born: March 1891 in Texas) and Rubie (born: Nov. 1892 in Texas).

A couple of the family trees on ancestry.com list his mother's name as Sallie (Anna Belle)Vedell Cary. If anyone knows if I have this son with the correct or incorrect parents, please let me know so I can make the corrections.

Tyson Nealy Hardy, also known as Tice, was born 22 October 1905 to William Thomas Hardy and Willie May Johnson in Chilton, Falls County, Texas. In 1924 Tice met and married Lillian Inez Betz. They had one son, Clarence Wendell Hardy, September 6th, 1925. He was accused of murder in 1926 after a tragic mishap between friends on a fishing trip at the Brazos River near Horseshoe Bend, Falls County, Texas. There are several newspaper articles on the case and at one point the father and brother of the young man that disappeared, shot at Tice in the court room. There has been nothing found about how the trial ended but it is assumed that without a body there wasn't much to go on for the prosecution. Tice took his family to Sweetwater, Texas where they had another son, Allen Ray Hardy, March 30th, 1930. In October 1934 Tyson met and married a young girl, Zada Latham, 19 years old of Big Springs, Texas. They had a baby girl, Wynona Mae Hardy born February 2, 1935. Tice moved to California and worked as a ranch hand. In 1939 he met Lora Mae (Meler) Jeter who was on a trip from New Mexico to California with her brother Tom. She was from Washita Oklahoma and they married in Yuma, Arizona then moved to New Mexico where Lora was a teacher. Tice registered for military in 1940 in New Mexico and worked in a defense plant. Tice and Lora moved to Ventura California and he worked in real-estate for 15 years. Tice suffered a series of strokes and died November 15th, 1981. Tyson and Lora share a headstone in Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, Ventura, Ventura County, California but she actually moved back to New Mexico after several medical issues and married Dean Hester in 1987. Dean had several strokes and in 1995 Lora's cancer returned and she died in 1997.

Washington Post article, March 7, 1907:
GOES INTO THE WORLD
Member Woman's Community [known as Sanctified Sisters] Now Federal Clerk.
Ambitious To Do Something.
Miss Susie Carter Accepts Position with the Agricultural Department, but Retains Membership in the Community Which Stands for Celibacy and Communism -- Never Thinks of Marriage. Miss Susie Carter, a member of the Woman's Commonwealth, a community that makes celibacy and communism its religion, whose founders came to Washington a little more than two years ago from Texas, has been appointed to a position in the Department of Agriculture. This is a new departure, for in all the history of the community no member has broken away and gone so far into the world as to seek an outside occupation. Of course many sew or paint or write and they keep boarders, but for one of the young women to mingle with the world is most unheard of, and a matter which, at the Commonwealth, as their residence, 1437 Ewing street, is called, is not to be discussed. Miss Carter became a member of the community at the age of two, her mother, Mrs. R.S. Carter, joining at that time and taking with her three little daughters, one of whom died a short time ago. The other sister of Miss Carter is still a member. Unlike her companions, Miss Carter gave way to her ambitions to do something for herself, and the education usually given to the young girls of the community not satisfying her, she entered several schools, making a particular study of stenography and typewriting.
Got Clerkship in February.
In this she became expert, successfully passed the civil service examination, and last month was appointed a clerk in the Department of Agriculture in the division of publications. March 1 she was transferred to the forestry division. Miss Carter is a charming young woman, level headed, and perfectly capable of taking care of herself. She rather resents the attitude taken toward her by the public in general, or those she meets in her work. "They look at me as though I were a curiosity," she says. "They point me out and speak of me as being one of the man haters, I don't know why, but everybody seems to know about me. Nobody seems to understand. It is my life and the members of the community are my people, and I love them all." When asked about men and whether she was afraid of them, or if she ever thought of marriage, she said: "Why, no; we don't believe in it, and besides, we never meet men in a social way. We never have anything to do with them except strictly on business."
Community is Wealthy.
The community is a wealthy one. In addition to the house on Irving street, it owns a fine country place in Montgomery County, Md., where the members can go when they feel so inclined. There are now about fifteen or sixteen members, all of whom are women past middle age, with the exception of Miss Carter, her sister and two other young women. Miss Fanny Holtzclaw is president of the organization.
Great notoriety was given the community two years ago by the elopement of one of the young woman members, and for months after the other young women, whose names were made public in connection with the affair were deluged with communications from all over the country, proposing marriage, offering money and homes, and wishing exchange of letters and pictures. All this annoyed the president so much that no newspaper representative is allowed now to cross the threshold of the home."
[Note: Within four years of this article's publication, Susie had left the commune and was giving Valentine dances in her home.]

Washington Post, 6-7-1958:
