Creating a second webpage for Descendants of William Halley Armistead
Generations 5 thru 6.

Generation No. 1

1. WILLIAM HALLEY ARMISTEAD 2(ARMISTEAD1) was born Abt. 1781 in Smith Co., TN, and died in 10 miles from Union MO on the bank of Bourbouse River, Franklin Co MO.
He married PHEOBA C. WALTON, daughter of THOMAS WALTON and AGNES MOSBY (Cousins). She was born Bet. 1791 - 1796 in Smith Co., TN, and died in 10 miles from Union MO on the bank of Bourbouse River Franklin Co MO.

Notes for WILLIAM H. ARMISTEAD:
This first information I received, were typed sheets given to me by Jesse Cooper Thomas, as given to her by her mother, Hattie Adelia Park Cooper, wife of Thomas Richard Cooper. Thomas Richard Cooper was the brother of Nancy Melviney Cooper Birge and they were the children of Eli Bailey (Eal) Cooper and Elizabeth Francis Armistead.
Nancy Melviney Cooper Birge gave to Hattie Adelia Park Cooper in 1933. From additional information on those sheets, it appears that Nancy and Hattie, worked on them together after Nancy gave them to Hattie.

Bertha Cooper Bradford has also provided other sheets of information. I have typed exerts of this information on to the individual sheets of each person mentioned. Please note that information given me shows William A. Armistead.

The two pedigree files below show William H. Armistead, as does the 1850 Missouri Census. Also the spelling of Pheoba Walton, per Nancy Cooper and the two pedigree files show Phoebe C. Walton, the 1850 Census shows Phoebe. Nancy Cooper Birge said both William and Pheoba were born in Tenn. While the two pedigree files say they were born in Virginia.

Sept 1998, I found on the Family Tree Program the following Pedigree which I am also including into the family. Pedigree 1781 Volume 16 shows both William and Pheoba born in Virginia. Source; Kevin R. Gray, Des Plaines, IL. I sent him a letter on 8-31-98. See my family file for copy of this letter. Pedigree 1085 Volume 15. Source; Cathie L. Jarvis, Eureka, MO.

1999, Information I have just received from June Manion, SC. I will incorporate into my files. She sent me a box of sheets hand written front and back with few copies of newspaper articles and pictures. This work was started by her mother Bertha Agnes Armistead, daughter of Rueben Thomas and Delilah Edith Phillipp Armistead, then June got the bug as we all seem too, and she started gathering information. It took me almost a year to put her information in my computer. While all the time emailing her for questions about notes, page numbers missing, names being repeated. It was fun. It kept me busy when I came home from work and kept her busy proofing my work. But, I have found all the census information along with cemetery, death certificates and other things, as I have done with all these families. I prove any and all information given to me as best as I can. Big help for me, is that over the years I purchased all the cemetery books from Four Rivers Genealogical Society, Washington MO., as well as published material. In fact, I have a big library of published materials and books for many of the counties of MO. Sharlee
Please note information that June has sent, only shows 11 children as the previous sources have given me 13 children.

So, I have incorporated all of their work, and with help from Karen Walker and a few others, dug up all the census, marriage records, death certificates, burial information. In doing this, I was able to find family information that neither my great grandmother had nor June Manion. And I am still digging. Karen Walker dug up all the newspaper articles you will see on every line that came out of Franklin Co MO., that start with "This"

William H. Armistead came to Franklin Co., Mo., in the Mid 1830's from Smith Co., Tenn., via St. Louis Co., Mo., per Nancy Melviney Cooper Birge.

The 1840 census shows on this; Armstead, William, 2 males between 5/10 years old, 1 between 20/30 years old, 1 between 50/60 years old. Females; 2 between 10/15 years old, 1 between 20/30 years old and 1 between 50/60 years old.

Per birth records received from Salt Lake, William was born in Cumberland VA., not so, born in TN., per my great grandmother Nancy Cooper Birge, but the 1850 Franklin Co., MO., shows he was born in VA.
1850 Census shows I believe William H., but there are those who believe it is William A.

Death Certificate of Phoebe Walton Armistead Hendricks

Notes for PHEOBA C. WALTON:
Phoeba Walton Armistead was carrying George E., when they moved from Tenn., to Missouri. They stayed at Union until he was born, then they settled on a farm about 10 miles from Union Missouri, on the banks of the Bourbouse River. The family graveyard is there near the old home place. (Hattie Cooper wrote this as given to her by Nancy Cooper Birge in 1933).

My Great Grandmother Nancy Cooper Birge said that Phoeba was born in TN. But, June Manion shows that she was born in Tenn in 1791 and her name spelled as Phoebe C. Walton

The 1850 Missouri Census shows Pheoba born in Tenn.
Note: information received from LDS Ancestral files Dec 6 1999 shows Phoebe born 1796 Cumberland, VA.

Nov 11, 2000 received this from Peggy
Here is what I have on the Walton's.
In 1826 Phoebe wife of William H. Armistead, daughter of Thomas G. Walton whose estate was being administered by his son-in-law Edward Glover. Several deeds conveying lands on Puncheon Camp Creek, being part of a 1000 acres survey that Thomas G. Walton formerly lived on, identify the heirs as including; Edward M. Walton, George Walton, Edward Glover and his wife Polley, formerly Polley Walton, William H. Armistead and wife Phoeaby C. Walton, Seth Burton and wife Martha M. Walton, William Nichols and wife Nancy F. Walton (in Marion County, Elinoy (Illinois) in 1826 when they gave Edward M. Walton a power of attorney, Edward Bradley and wife Lockey Walton, and Narysia (Narcissa) Walton.
In 1835 William M. Armistead sold a slave Gabriel to Timothy Walton. At the same time James Walton of Sumner County and Timothy Walton of Smith County conveyed to "Betsy Ann, Martha Jane, Eliza Linton, George Thompson, and William Joseph Armistead heirs of Wm Armistead of the other part, all of Smith County, 110 acres on Snow Creek in Smith "including" the plantation where the said William M. Armstead now lives." Deeds of 1816 in Smith County (Book E, pp 318, 459) identify James, Isaac and Timothy Walton, Arthur S. Hogan and wife Rachel, Nathaniel M. Williams and wife Sarah Jane as heirs of Col. William Walton, deceased and Sarah Walton his widow.

April 5 2002 received e-mail from Betty Brown
Sharlee, Hi, my name is Betty and I have just begun to search my husbands family tree.
Found some old Bible pages. His great grandfather Josiah Brown, married Phebe Armistead and her parents were Thomas Armistead and Emily Ann Groom. Thomas later married Elizabeth Parks. It only tells the children s birth dates. And very few of when he was married to Elizabeth.
On the Bible Page of Births it has William R. Armistead son of
Thomas Armistead and Emily Ann his wife, was born Aug 28 1842. Thomas J. Armistead son of Thomas J. Armistead and Emily Ann his wife, was born Nov 20 1843.
Phebe M. Armistead daughter of Thomas J. Armistead and Emily Ann his wife, was born March 7 1847.
Elizabeth Frances Armistead daughter of Thomas J. Armistead and Emily Ann his wife, was born October 21 1848.
Robert B. Armistead son of Thomas J. Armistead and Emily Ann his wife, was born March (can't read) 1851?
Then Granville O. Armistead son of Thomas J. Armistead and Emily Ann his wife, was born December (I think it's the 9th) 1852.
Then on the back it has marriages:
Thomas J. Armistead and Emily Ann Groom was married October 28 1841.
Thomas J. Armistead and Elizabeth Park was married May 15th, 1855.
On a scrap piece of Bible page it says Robert B. Armistead was killed by the fall of a limb. March 14th 1866 signed by an X.
Just above Robert B. Armistead all that is visible is someone else died June __th 1856 and I can not figure out who this was.
Then another scrap of Bible page has about 3 children of Thomas and Elizabeth births and two others that s not all there.
If I can help you maybe you have something I can use! Phebe Armistead was my husbands great grandmother. Betty

Hi Sharlee
All of us here have been trying to locate that old Armistead Cemetery. We know it is on the Bourbouse River, but we don't know who owns the property now. I am sure it is on the old Armistead land. I doubt if there are any markers that are readable, if there ever were any. I have come to the conclusion that there were only stones. The reason is because no one knows the exact birth or death dates of Thomas J. Sr. and his parents. If there had been at any time some kind of marker with names and dates, I would have thought that someone would have written it down, and someone would have the information. But I could be wrong, the location may have been lost and the markers are only over grown. I have an e-mail address of a Julie, her grandmother is Madge Minks Baker. Karen

Notes for EMILY ANN GROOM:
Per Jesse Cooper Thomas, as told to her by Nancy Cooper Birge Emily was in love with young Tom Armistead and Tom loved Emily, but her parents wanted Emily to marry a man of goodly means, whom she did not love. While Emily was washing clothes for a neighbor family one day, the neighbor man noticed Emily was crying as she worked. "What is wrong?" he asked her, she replied, "my parents want me to marry a man I do not love." "I love Tom Armistead." The neighbor went to Tom and told him, then proceeded in helping the two elope. They had 5 children.
Emily died leaving Tom with 5 small children. Tom grieved so much for his beloved Emily. She was pure and sweet tempered, a thrifty manager and a good homemaker. Toms sisters tried to help but they had their own families to care for also, so they persuaded Tom to seek another wife. Nancy Cooper Birge (1933) lists 5 children.

Per June Manion date of birth 1827, and only lists 3 children. Thomas Jefferson, Phoebe Mosby and Elizabeth Frances.
Per LDS Ancestral Files Emily's name is shown as Emly Ann Groomes. Dec 7 1999 and birth date. Sharlee

Some sources have Elizabeth Parks and Thomas J. Armistead Sr., as having a son named Granville O. Armistead (b: 12/2/1871 and d: 7/3/1879). But, this could not be correct if Nancy Armistead was born in either Nov or Dec of 1871. Who is this Granville O. Armistead's parents, are unknown at this time. (Sharlee 2002) Now I know that he is the son of Emily not Elizabeth, per the Bible Pages found. Sharlee

Funeral services were conducted in the school house on his farm where he lived for nearly half a century, by the Rev. O. C. Thurmond of St. Clair, and songs were sung by Mrs. Thurmond and Mrs. Earl Hignley. The body was tenderly laid to rest in the Hendrix Cemetery. The large crowd that attended was an eloquent testimonial of love and esteem that his family and friends bore him."

October 17 2003 received e-mail from Donna great great granddaughter of Wm. Edward Gilcrease and Phoebe Priscilla Armistead.
Donna also referenced this, " I do have an original letter from Eli Park to Theodore and Martha (Belle) Gilcrease telling Theodore of his sister's death (Nancy J. Gilcrease Park - Nannie as Eli called her). I have several letter between the two couples.

Stanton Jan 3 1898
Dear Brother and family
Dearest Nannie is dead. She passed away very quietly Sunday Morning at half past two O’clock. She wished time and again for death to come and release her of the suffering. It is with a sorrowing heart Theodore that I pen you those lines yet I feel it my duty to do so. She joined the Church about one month a go and I hope and trust that she was ready when the Master called her.
We buried her at Cave Spring near Uncle Obe's daughter. Theordore I would write more but do not feel able, Trust The Great Master will comfort and protect you all in this sad bereavement.
I close in deepest sympathy
Your Loving Cousin

(Typed exactly the way hand written)Donna
The letters that were exchanged between these couples showed very caring nature on each of their parts. They were very good friends. Nancy had attended church, as she indicated in a prior letter, but as indicated above joined the church shortly before she passed away. Reference is made by either Eli or Nancy in their letters of each of their children. Donna"

This article was in the Franklin County Tribune on Friday, October 25, 1902: "Geo. E. Armistead of Meramec twp, was in Union, Wednesday and reported the recent arrival of two little girls in his township, one at the home of Eli Park and the other at the home of James Armstead."

Please note that the June 15 1900 Meramec Twp Franklin Co., MO Census appears this way; Eli shows that he has been married for 16 years...but No wife is listed...could it be that the date given is incorrect...perhaps she was being cared for somewhere other than the home. It does not say WIDOW. Sharlee

This obituary was in The Sullivan News on Thursday, December 30, 1943: "ELI BAILEY PARK
Eli Bailey Park was born October 22, 1858 near Champion City, Mo., and departed this life December 10, 1943, in the home of his daughter, Mrs. Edith Fugenbutz, of St. Louis, at the age of 85 years 1 month 18 days.

From Donna The letter will be typed exactly as written- all spelling unchanged)
Stanton MO., April (only part of date shown- reference to Mamie and Otto. By the way, family notes indicate they were twins and younger than Hattie but note you do not show this. See what you think after reading this letter and let me know where your source info., came from If you don't mind)

To T. W. Gilcrease from Eli Park
Mr. T. W. Gilcrease
Dear
As today is Sunday and I am all alone or nearly for Nannie and Hattie are gone and Mamie and Otto are asleep I would have a good time to write you. Poor little Otto was quite sick two days ago but he seems to be very well now. He can run everywhere. Each wants to be going all the time. We are having such a find day I hope to make the most of it as it is the first one of the kind for a long time.
Theodore we have just been having real winter right up here in April. Just think of it snowing some Friday last. We have been having some very windy weather for a week or two which did a sight of damage in several ways also heavy ahil and rain storms with it. Well Theodore we haven't planted any corn to speak of yet but are ready when the weather will permit. We had a real fine prospect for fruit until the cold waves came and I fear they have killed most all the peaches. Wheat crops are only tolerable here at present not at all promising. Well Theodore I am trying some of your kind of grass Alfalfa, I believe it will grow here all right. I have about twelve acres in meadow and want to sew more clover yet
Well Theodore I want to go fishing some of those fine mornings come over some evening and be ready for the fun. I see in the paper a fellow caught a fine sea bass out there near you which weighted 50 or over pounds. Theodore I had a letter from cousin George.(George W. Hearst). He is in San Louis Obispo and reports having a fine job at good wages. Mr. James T. Larkin was married to Miss Ida Wear last Tuesday so James had ended his single blessedness like all the rest of us. Though I trust he may never regret the chance. Isabel Gilcrease and Willie were to see us last Saturday and Sunday She said Uncle Tommy was not very well. Angie Farrell is there and very low not thought to rec Well Theodore there is going to be a three weeks meeting at Stanton which commenced yesterday I believe a Christian minister from Henry Co MO Nannie said give her love and wishes to you all and rite to her soon. Hattie and Nannie joines me with kindest wishes to all.
Your Cousin Eli
Nannie said tell you she has fifty head of baby checks.

(Letter from Nancy J. Park - this letter I should have typed first as it is prior to Theodore and Isabelle's marriage)

"George W. Hearst and Susan V. Hendrix md. 21 Dec 1883 San Luis Obispo Co., CA. As I could not locate information on George and Susan, but they were referenced in one of my great grandmother's letters in SLO area, I contacted a genealogist in the area and she provided the marriage information for me. I had found the two of them plus their daughter Mable V. in the 1900 and 1910 census but could not find no further information on them. Martha was interested in the Apperson/Hearst relationship of my great grandmother and wanted to research more. That was Feb 2003, but I never heard further from her, even after e-mailing her a couple of times to see how her research was going.

Notes for CHARLOTTE PEARLY GREEN:
Eugene has Charlotte's last name as Bates, could that be a name from a previous marriage?

Recv'd e-mail from Elinore Olsen, abt July 23 2003
"Charlotte Pearly's maiden name was Green. She was the daughter of Thomas Green and Alcy Hays. Alcy Hays married 2nd husband 1874, John Bates of Franklin Co. So Bates was Charlotte's step-father. Charlotte 1st married Ralph Vaughn 1887. Thank you for your information on Charlotte's 2nd husband, Columbus Hendrix/Hendricks.

I went searching to see if Elinore had a web site, she did and that is where I got the rest of the information on John Bates, Thomas Green, Alcey Hayes. Sharlee

Notes for SARAH JANE BANDY:
This article appeared in the Franklin County Tribune on Friday, April 5, 1912. "Mrs. Thomas Armistead called on her daughter, Mrs. Laubinger, Monday."

Death of Mrs. Sarah Armistead.
Mrs. Sarah Armistead departed this life, April 30, 1926 at her home near Evergreen Church after a long illness of pneumonia and flu. At the time of her death she had reached the age of 72 years 2 months and 21 days. She leaves to mourn her loss seven children, two daughters and five sons; Lafe, Vester, George, Thomas Richard, Mrs. William Lawrence and Mrs. Jess Laubinger. 47 grandchildren, two brothers, two sister and many other relative and friends. the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Evergreen Cemetery, Saturday at 2 o'clock.
The golden gates were open, a gentle voice said come, and with farewell words unspoken she calmly entered home. God has called her to a better world, but, oh, the ace and pain will never leave our breaking hearts until we meet again. A happy home we all enjoyed. How sweet the memories still. But death has left a vacant chair this world can never fill. It was very hard to part with you. You did your part and did it well; But God knew what was best to do, so he took you where the angels dwell.
A loving niece, Rose C. Bandy.

This article was in the Sullivan News on Thursday, March 9 1939: "C. L. Armistead for Reelection
C. Lafe Armistead is this week making formal announcement for the office of Marshal of the City of Sullivan.
The announcement will be found under the Candidate Announcement heading in this issue of The Sullivan News.
Mr. Armistead is running for reelection. He has served the city as peace officer successfully for several years, even acting on appointment before he was elected by the voters. Because of the difficulty of securing good service at night, Mr. Armistead took over the night shift and left the day work for special appointment.
No more sincere or honest man ever served the people in any capacity than Lafe, and his efforts will no doubt be appreciated by a large segment of the voters.
He will not be able to make a very thorough canvas of the town as Mrs. Armistead has been bedridden for a year and he is not as free to see the voters as he would like to be."

This announcement was in The Sullivan News on Thursday, March 9, 1939:

21. ELIZABETH FRANCIS ARMISTEAD 4(THOMAS JEFFERSON3, WILLIAM H.2, ARMISTEAD1) was born 09 October 1848 in Franklin Co, MO, and died 31 October 1884 in Near Sullivan but in the country, Franklin Co., MO.
She married ELI BAILEY (EAL) COOPER 20 February 1868 in Franklin Co., MO, son of GEORGE COOPER and SERENIA PARK. He was born 14 October 1848 in Franklin Co., MO, and died 12 February 1924 in Missouri Baptist Sanitarium St. Louis City MO.

Notes for ELIZABETH FRANCIS ARMISTEAD:
Per Nancy Melviney Cooper Birge (these are her parents and my great great grandparents, Sharlee) and Jesse Cooper Thomas as well.
Elizabeth died before her 2nd set of twins were born. She was the youngest daughter of Thomas and Emily Armistead.
Thomas Richard was only slightly over 2 years old when their mother died Oct 31, 1884. She called her 1st son Jesse to her before she died and asked him to be a good example to his younger brothers. She asked him to promise that he would never drink intoxicants nor use tobacco and to especially watch over her baby little Richard. She hated to leave her family.
Nancy was only 16 years old when the responsibility of keeping house, cooking and washing for this big family fell upon her young shoulders. Those were the days when they cooked over a fireplaces. Or if financially able they had a good wood cook stove. You had to have the right kind of wood and one really had to know how to tend the fire to have well cooked food. Jesse was only 10 years old and George 8, the twins 6 and Bill 4 and baby Dick still in diapers. Nancy worked hard and Jesse was good help to her. George too. And John and Charley could help carry wood and such. Jesse kept his promise faithfully all of his long productive honorable live. When ever his bothers needed help even as grownups they knew their brother Jesse would help. I can remember so well when Uncle Jesse and Aunt Dora moved to the McAllister place at Flat Rock. We were so happy to have them for neighbors. My papa Richard would have acute indigestion once in awhile. Especially when under a lot of stress. I recall one night in particular, when it seemed like he would die he was so sick. Mama ask, Richard? what do you want me to do? It took hour for a doctor to come. Papa said, "send for Jess. He came. It helped papa.

Per letter I received from Bertha Cooper Bradford Sept. 23 1996. My dad bought and paid for his tomb stone. My grandma died in Franklin County, near Sullivan, but in the country. She was buried in a field the corner of which was used for a cemetery (small). My baby brother Eli one day old was buried there also.

April 5 2002 received copies of the Bible pages found by Betty Brown and it shows Elizabeth Frances Armistead daughter of Thomas J. Armistead and Emily Ann his wife was born Oct 21st 1848. br>

Notes for ELI BAILEY (EAL) COOPER:
When Eli Cooper and Elizabeth were married he only had a $5. gold piece and a broad ax with which to build a home for his bride. What courage this young couple had? He built a log house as many did in those days. They both worked hard. She was well bread and taught her children good manners. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and even though she died young this was lived out in their lives to the very last one. Praise God! for our Christian Grandmother. It was hard right after the Civil War. Eal was an expert woodsman, he could use his left arm as well as his right. A real talent when hacking ties. His son John inherited this ability also. It was said that when John Cooper's load of ties went to market, they paid top price not even checking them because he was the best tie-hacker in the country and absolutely trustworthy. We were justly proud of him! Eal was a strong swimmer, a good hunter which helped to keep their family fed. He ran a saloon at Bourbon, MO in Franklin County. His wife, Elizabeth was only 36 years old when she died from childbirth complications when twins were about to be born. It was 1884 and what a struggle that pioneer family had without a mother to guide the home. Their little brother Richard, 2 years old cried for his "Ma." Aunt Nancy recalled times when they sometimes all ate out of one crock of milk and bread as was the custom in Jesus day, all sitting around the table together sharing whatever they had.
Later Eal married again, this time to Nancy (Bandy) Brown. They had no children. Eal was a founder of the Cooper settlement at Flat Rock Missouri. His children grew up in Franklin County Missouri.
But later he and they moved to the Thomasville area; Summersville; Birch Tree; Mountain View and Eminence areas. Nancy died in MT. View; Jesse and Richard in Flat Rock where he, Nancy, John and their father was laid to rest. Jesse and George were buried in the Summersville Cemetery, Charley in the Corinth Cemetery, while Bill is buried in Eminence Missouri. When the Doctor in St. Louis Missouri removed the cancer on Eal's ear they had to take off his whole ear then decided to remove a gland attached to his jugular vein. It was this that broke loose on his way home from St. Louis. He died from loss of blood. He was an industrious, honest and frugal old man, a true friend, good for his work and a worthy citizen, healthy and jolly. Per Bertha Cooper Smotherman Bradford (1996)

Per Stan Eddington Nov 24 1998 Brighton, IL.
"According to my grandfather Clifton William Cooper, his great grandfather was burned out by Bushwackers during the Civil War. This was a problem in Franklin Co., MO. When they came, Eli Bailey Cooper would race their horses into caves to hide them. On one of these occasions when he returned, the house was burned and his parents were either killed or missing".

Eli Cooper founded the Cooper settlement at Flat Rock Missouri.

Notes for WILLIAM F. ERXLEBEN:
Per June Manion, could William and Charles Erxleben who married Nancy E. Fowler, daughter of Martha A. Armistead Fowler, be brothers?
All that we know about William F. Erxleben, is from the marriage license. That on October 1889, he was over 21 years of age. Nothing else has been found.

She had three boys by Wm. F. Erxleben: Frederick William Erxleben, Columbus Erxleben and Elmer Erxleben. Elmer was born in Jul 1899, died young before 1910 (not shown on 1910 census (Sharlee)). Fred & Columbus moved to Omaha, Nebraska and died there years later; Fred in 1969 and Columbus in 1974. Fred has descendants, but Columbus never married."

April 26, 2005 from Karen Walker;
Sharlee, I'll try to send you the file I have on this branch of the Erxleben's. She had a woman who was doing some research for a friend contact her, telling her that Wm. F. was listed in the St. Louis MO., Census in 1910 living with his sisters' family. He died in Dec 1910 & there is a William F. Erxleben buried in Bethany Cemetery in St. Louis County MO., who died in Dec 1910. I think it could be Nancy's husband, but she must have divorced him, since I know she married Henry West in April 1906 in St. Louis. I found those records myself so I know it is her. (this is Karen speaking) I wish I could find the divorce records. I've never tried to find divorce records, have you Sharlee? I have not been to Bethany Cemetery, it is up North, I live in South County. Someone told me it was in a bad neighborhood and not to go alone. I have relatives buried there from my dad's side of the family so I have several people to find. Karen

"Columbus Erxleben went on a voyage of discovery Saturday afternoon that came near landing him in a new world. His mother, Mrs. Wm. Erxleben, left him to fan his brother, Fred who was sick. His eyes fell on a quart bottle of whiskey which the doctor had left for treatment for Fred. After a short struggle, Columbus had surrounded over a pint of the contents, but at that stage he himself was compelled to surrender. His mother found him nearly gone and summoned Dr. J. L. Cunningham who by hard work, prevented the necessity of a funeral.: Columbus "Lum" Erxleben never married. Cemetery records list occupation as: Interior Decorator.

Notes for THEODORE WILLIAMETTE GILCREASE:
Received e-mail October 17 2003 from Donna
"I have see your submission a number of times and have intended to e-mail you, but as I am working a number of other trees have not done so. My great grandfather was Theodore Williamette Gilcrease, the s/o Wm. Edward Gilcrease and Phoebe Priscilla Armistead.
Theodore married my great grandmother Martha Isabelle Apperson d/o Francis A. Apperson and Mary Ann McCreary.
I have a number of original letters written between Nancy J. Gilcrease Park and Eli Park to Theodore and George W. Hearst. As it is late, I will not go into detail about the letters at this time.
The information I have on the Gilcrease family came from my grandmother Golda Gilcrease Hengst. Like her mother before her (Martha), my grandmother loved her family and friends dearly and kept letters and had excellent recall of her family. She had a wonderful memory and could recall information later in her life that was quite remarkable. She preserved/took many photographs over the years with dates and names of the reverse of them. She lived to be 100 and was quite sharp until she had a stroke a few months before her death. As Martha was related to Phoebe Apperson Hearst mother of Wm. Randolph Hearst, my grandmother knew and was very fond of Phoebe who funded her education to university of CA. Berkeley."
Donna, goes from where listing a family chart, of which I will now add to my files person by person. Sharlee
Donna goes on to say, " I do have an original letter from Eli Park to Theodore and Martha (Belle) Gilcrease telling Theodore of his sister's death (Nancy J. Gilcrease Park - Nannie as Eli called Her).
I have several letters between the two couples.

"Stanton Jan 3 1898
Dear Brother and Family
Dearest Nannie is dead. She passed away very quietly Sunday Morning at half past two O’clock. She wished time and again for death to come and release her the suffering. It is with a sorrowing heart Theodore that I pen you those lines yet I feel it my duty to do so. She joined the Church about one month a go and I hope and trust that she was ready when the Master called her.
We buried her at Cave Spring near Uncle Obe's daughter. Theodore I would write more but do not feel able. Trust The Great Master will comfort and protect you all in this sad bereavement. I close in deepest sympathy, Your Loving Cousin

Notes for WILLIAM ASBERRY "BERRY'" GILCREASE:
Per Donna Oct 22 2003
They never had any children. She was a career Surgical Nurse and he was a cotton raiser (large farm) but his biggest joy was traveling throughout the world. He was a big game hunter and amassed a very large collection of trophy game. Most of his trophies were donated to a Museum at University of CA, Fresno, by my second cousin. If you go to google.com and input "Berry Gilcrease" there are a couple of items on Berry. He also took many, many rolls of movie photography all of his trips. It was always a joy to be able to watch his films of his many trips/travels. We did not see them often as he traveled so much of his adult years. He had a temperature controlled vault built in his home to hold his films. Also, if you input "Jean Gilcrease" under lawmakers come to order there is a short time about Gene. The newspaper spelled her name wrong.

To T. W. Gilcrease from Eli Park
Mr. T. W. Gilcrease
Dear
As today is Sunday and I am all alone or nearly for Nannie and Hattie are gone and Mamie and Otto are asleep I would have a good time to write you. Poor little Otto was quite sick two days ago but he seems to be very well now. He can run everywhere. Each wants to be going all the time. We are having such a find day I hope to make the most of it as it is the first one of the kind for a long time.
Theodore we have just been having real winter right up here in April. Just think of it snowing some Friday last. We have been having some very windy weather for a week or two which did a sight of damage in several ways also heavy hail and rain storms with it. Well Theodore we haven't planted any corn to speak of yet but are ready when the weather will permit. We had a real fine prospect for fruit until the cold waves came and I fear they have killed most all the peaches. Wheat crops are only tolerable here at present not at all promising. Well Theodore I am trying some of your kin of grass Alfalfa I believe it will grow here at right. I have about twelve acres in meadow and want to sew more clover yet
Well Theodore I want to go fishing some of those fine mornings come over some evening and be ready for the fun. I see in the paper a fellow caught a fine sea bass out there near you which weighted 50 or over pounds. Theodore I had a letter from cousin George. (George W. Hearst). He is in San Louis Obispo and reports having a fine job at good wages.
Mr. James T. Larkin was married to Miss Ida Wear last Tuesday so James had ended his single blessedness like all the rest of us. Though I trust he may never regret the chance. Isabel Gilcrease and Willie were to see us last Saturday and Sunday She said Uncle Tommy was not very well. Angie Farrell is there and very low not thought to rec Well Theodore there is going to be a three weeks meeting at Stanton which commenced yesterday I believe a Christian minister from Henry Co MO Nannie said give her love and wishes to you all and rite to her soon. Hattie and Nannie joines me with kindest wishes to all. Your Cousin Eli
Nannie said tell you she has fifty head of baby checks.

(Letter from Nancy J. Park - this letter I should have typed first as it is prior to Theodore and Isabelle's marriage)

This article was in the Franklin County Tribune on Friday, October 25, 1902: "Geo. E. Armistead of Meramec Township, was in Union, Wednesday and reported the recent arrival of two little girls in his township, one at the home of Eli Park and the other at the home of James Armstead."

Please note that the June 15 1900 Meramec Twp Franklin Co., MO Census appears this way; Eli shows that he has been married for 16 years..but No wife is listed..could it be that the date given is incorrect..perhaps she was being cared for somewhere other than the home. It does not say WIDOW. Sharlee

32. WILLIAM R. SEIGAL 4 ARMISTEAD (GEORGE E.3, WILLIAM H.2, ARMISTEAD1) was born March 1863 in Sullivan Franklin Co., MO, and died 03 May 1907 in Sullivan, Franklin Co., MO. He married ELIZA LOUISA ANDERSON 26 January 1887 in Sullivan, Franklin Co., MO, daughter of BENJAMIN ANDERSON and AMANDA RICHARDSON. She was born 16 March 1869 in Sullivan, Franklin Co., MO, and died 03 September 1918 in St. Louis, St. Louis Co., MO.

Notes for WILLIAM R. SEIGAL ARMISTEAD:
Name has also been shown as William R. Siegal Armistead

William R. Siegal Armistead was kidnapped by the Union Bank robbers after they killed the Pinkerton agent Frank Rudolph's, Wm. Rudolph's step-father, house outside of Stanton, Missouri.

This article was in The Franklin County Union, Missouri on Friday, January 30, 1903:
"Lewis was shot in the left temple supposedly by Tichenor, the ball did not enter the skull but cut a small artery from which the blood flowed profusely. After dressing the wound the two men went to the home of Siegal Armstead who lives across the Bourboise less than a half mile distance and tried to buy his team. Siegal Armstead is a relative of Wm. Rudolph but he refused to sell to Rudolph; then told Armistead to saddle his horses and take them to Alex Lawrence's and told him further that they would kill him unless he did. Lewis mounted one horse, and Armstead at the direction of Rudolph got on the other and then Rudolph got on behind Armstead, and the three went to Alex Lawrence's, over two miles distant, as rapidly as possible. Siegel Armstead was probably as badly scared as any man ever was. Rudolph had told him that he had killed a detective, and both Lewis and Rudolph were both heavily armed with revolvers and one carried a Winchester rifle and the other a double-barreled shotgun. Armistead was not only in mortal fear of his companions but was expecting every minute to have the officer’s fire on them. Perhaps our readers can imagine his feelings. When they arrived at Lawrence's Armstead and Lawrence were sent with a lot of money to the home of his father-in-law, I. E. Woodcock, to buy two horses from him. Woodcock and his son rode to Stanton as rapidly as they could to tell where the two men were keeping themselves. We understand he told a man who failed to tell Bruch and his party were the men were keeping themselves. Had he done so, things might have been different."

This obituary was in the Sullivan Sentinell on Friday, May 10, 1907:
"Mr. Sig. Armistead died suddenly of heart trouble Friday morning, and was buried Sunday. His death was a shock to all who knew him; he was one of our respected citizens. He leaves a wife and several children."

1902 Union bank robbery story. The Missouri Kid and Collins alias Black Frank, blew up the vault of the Union Bank in the early morning hours of Dec 27 1902. They escaped with $115,000. by hopping a freight to Stanton where they killed Pinkerton agent Charlie Schumacher in a shoot out. The two outlaws fled to Hartford, Conn., where they were captured by local police and Pinkerton agents. The two were then returned to Union but transferred to a St. Louis prison for safekeeping. From that prison, the Missouri Kid escaped on July 6 1903. It also said that they held up the hanging so that all that the Sheriff had given tickets to see the hanging could arrive.

This appeared in the Franklin County Tribune on Friday February 27 1903: "The Boy, William Rudolph, however has always borne a bad name from his earliest boyhood and nothing was considered too mean for him to do."

William had many aliases: AKA WILLIAM ARMISTEAD, THE MISSOURI KID, MISSOURI BILLY and WILLIAM ANDERSON.
THE 1902 UNION BANK ROBBERY STORY: The "Missouri Kid" alias William Rudolph and George Collins, alias Fred Lewis or "Black Frank", blew up the vault of the Union Bank in the early morning hours of December 27, 1902. They escaped with $115,000 (about $15,000 in cash and the rest in securities) by hopping a freight to Stanton. They killed the Pinkerton Agent, Charlie Schumacher, in a shoot out a month later in January 1903. The two outlaws fled to Hartford, Conn., where they were captured in February 1903, by local police and Pinkerton Agents. The two were then returned to Union but transferred to a St. Louis prison for safekeeping. From that prison, The Missouri Kid, escaped on July 6 1903. It also said that they held up the hanging of Collins, so that all the Sheriff's who had been given tickets to see the hanging could arrive. Rudolph was hung on May 8 1905 after a year of stays and respites by the Gov. for Rudolph's lawyers to change his sentence to life in prison.

This article appeared in the Franklin County Tribune on Friday May 12 1905: "Wm. Rudolph or Wm. Anderson, was born on Spring Creek, about twelve miles southeast of Union, January 21, 1883 and lived in this county until he was sixteen years old. He at one time lived with his parents in a small house just west of Jeffriesburg. When about sixteen years of age he was accused of assisting some older persons in torturing and old man by the name of J. S. Schwartz near Stanton. Whether he was guilty of this crime or not, he fled the county and the general public knew nothing of his whereabouts until after the Union Bank robbery. Although many supposed he was committing crimes in different parts of the country during his four years absence, but of these years nothing much is known. The crime of which Wm. Rudolp was hanged on May 8, 1905, and Geo. Collins, March 26, 1904, and the events connected there to, are too familiar to need much mention here. Rudolph and Collins burglarized the Bank of Union, Union Mo., during the night of December 26, 1902, and secured nearly $15,000 in money. Rudolph blew the bank with nitroglycerine while Collins stayed outside and terrorized by firing revolvers, all who were awakened by the explosions in the bank. Schumacher, a Pinkerton detective, who thought he had discovered the bank robbers at the home of Frank Rudolph, about ten miles southwest of Union was killed by Rudolph and Collins, while he Schumacher, Louis Vedder, Emanuel Cromer, and B. R. Tichenor were trying to arrest them. This was January 24, 1903, less than one month after the bank had been burglarized. Rudolph and Collins escaped after killing Schumacher, but they made a mistake in killing one of Pinkerton men for that powerful agency traced the two murderers across the continent and captured them both in Hartford Conn., Collins' old home, the latter part of February 1903 and were brought back to Union and after a preliminary hearing were taken to St. Louis for safekeeping.
Rudolph made a sensational escape from the St. Louis jail in the afternoon of July 6 1903 by knocking out a skylight in the roof and jumped twenty five feet to the ground. He disappeared completely for several months, but in February 1904 he was captured near Paola, Kansas for attempting to rob a bank in that state. He was sentenced to the penitentiary in Kansas. His picture was sent to the Pinkerton and was recognized by one of their men in the New York office. The Kansas officials were prevailed upon to give him up and he was brought back to the St. Louis jail. He was tried and convicted of killing Schumacher and was sentenced to be hung May 13, 1904, but his case was appealed to the State Supreme Court which affirmed the decision of the lower court and he was sentenced to hang March 17 1905. He was respited by Gov. Folk to April 17, and was again respited to May 8, 1905, the day he was executed. The respites were granted by Gov. Folk to give his lawyers further chances before the courts."

Notes for ESTHER L. RUDOLPH:
In her sister's obituary it says Nellie is a "sister", but it does not mention Esther's name specifically. Since there were no other siblings, it is possible that Esther was still alive in 1975 when her sister, Nellie died. She may have gotten a divorce or her husband died and she remarried because I have been unable to find her in Social Security Death Benefits under Esther LaGree.

Notes for IDA ANN BYRD:
Per June Manion; marriage records page G135 shows Ida M. Byrd and Ida M. Sorrello, but she put her name down as Ida Ann Byrd. My great grandmother information shows her name was Ida Byrd Sorrello.

June goes on to write; Marriage records in the Franklin County Court House in Missouri states her name was Ida M. Sorrello, I (June Manion) believe her maiden name was Byrd, 1st marriage Sorrello and 2nd marriage Armistead. I have heard the family say "Jessy married the Byrd girl." Also have heard her called Ida Mae. Question: could she be related to 2nd wife of George W. Armistead Frances Elizabeth (nee Byrd) Armistead.

Hi Sharlee
Here are the dates for Norman Andersen. Born: 17 Dec 1911 Missouri; Died 24 Jun 1991 St. Louis, Missouri Buried: 27 Jun 1991 Sunset Burial Park Cemetery St. Louis County Missouri
This is the cemetery next to my house when I was a kid. We played in it all the time, riding bikes and going to the duck pond they have. I never knew I had so many relatives buried in there. My brother and my dad's parents are there; as well as Armistead relations on my mom's side, and Hacker relations on my dad's side.
As far as Norman Andersen & Gladys Parks (she is also buried there); they had four children: 1. Joyce, 2. Farrell, 3. Robert, 4. James, and 5. Norma.
Norma was born 22 Apr 1935 Missouri; died Apr 1979 St. Louis, Missouri. Norma's married name was Norma Watson, she married William Watson. She was also married to a man named Kimberling. I don't know where she is buried. I did not look up her obituary. All of them are on SSDI. Joyce married Marvin Seibert, Farrell married Marcia, Robert married Sharin. Don't have maiden names, and there was no spouse listed for James. Karen

Notes for SYLVESTER "VESTER" COOPER MEYERS:
Vester registered for the first draft in 1917 from Pacific Missouri per June Manion also known as Jester, could this be short for Sylvester? The answer is yes, as per the Obit of Jake A Meyers Cooper, his brother by Donna Carroll Fryer Sept 29 2000

Just a note here about the Cooper name that appears in this family. Sylvester’s father was a Meyers, but raised by a Cooper family. I think it was the Isaac Cooper family. Still have been unable to prove if the Isaac Cooper family was related to my Cooper family. But, some of Don Meyers children as well as himself went by the Cooper name. Sharlee

October 17 2003 received e-mail from Donna, great great granddaughter of Wm. Edward Gilcrease and Phoebe Priscilla Armistead. Donna also referenced this, "I do have an original letter from Eli Park to Theodore and Martha (Belle) Gilcrease telling Theodore of his sister's death (Nancy J. Gilcrease Park - Nannie as Eli called her).
I have several letters between the two couples.

Stanton Jan 3 1898
Dear Brother and family
Dearest Nannie is dead. She passed away very quietly Sunday Morning at half past two O’clock. She wished time and again for death to come and release her of the suffering. It is with a sorrowing heart Theodore that I pen you those lines yet I feel it my duty to do so. She joined the Church about one month a go and I hope and trust that she was ready when the Master called her.
We buried her at Cave Spring near Uncle Obe's daughter. Theordore I would write more but do not feel able Trust the The Great Master will comfort and protect you all in this sad bereavement. I close in deepest sympathy
Your Loving Cousin
(Typed exactly the way hand written)Donna
The letters that were exchanged between these couples showed very caring nature on each of their parts. They were very good friends.

Reference is made by either Eli or Nancy in their letters of each of their children. Donna"

This article was in the Franklin County Tribune on Friday, October 25, 1902: "Geo. E. Armistead of Meramec Township, was in Union, Wednesday and reported the recent arrival of two little girls in his township, one at the home of Eli Park and the other at the home of James Armstead."

Please note that the June 15 1900 Meramec Twp Franklin Co., MO Census appears this way; Eli shows that he has been married for 16 years.... but No wife is listed......could it be that the date given is incorrect...perhaps she was being cared for somewhere other than the home. It does not say WIDOW. Sharlee

Notes for JAMES HENRY WARE:
Jan 4 2004 per the Hendrix-Ware family bible. James Wilborn Ware was born January Th 29 1885.
Another sources said, death June 29 1920.
The Hendrix-Ware Bible shows Wilborn middle name and Jan 29 1885; while the death certificate shows initial E. as middle name and birth date of 17 March 1885 and the cemetery records shows 29 Jan 1885 - 29 June 1919 and just James Ware... So I have done all I can, Sharlee

Sharlee,
We corresponded ages ago when I was at a different e-mail address. I'm the 2g-granddaughter of George and Martha Hendrix Ware through their son James and Dolly Wright, and I'm very interest in figuring out who George's ancestors were. I know his parents were James Ware and Lucinda Miller, but I don't have anything on George's grandparents. Laura Ransom
