FOREWORD
Any student who makes an exhaustive study of a subject, whether physical, spiritual
or historical, and fails to share with his fellow man the conclusions arrived at as a result
of the special knowledge thus acquired, has wasted his time and effort. Here then, in
this volume, are the facts I have found after 25 years research into the history of my
family, and my interpretations of those facts. The facts will support themselves; for
my interpretations, I ask the reader's charity.
Some may want to know my reasons for using the spelling 'DeArmond' in the title
of this work. I have employed it, not because it is any more correct than other spellings
in use, but because it is by far the most prevalent spelling. One variation is as correct
as another since they are all corruptions of a distinguished name. It is not important
how we spell our name, but it is of concern to all of us how we carry it.
Some families and many individuals are sketchily treated herein, not from choice or
indifference but for the reason that sufficient knowledge of them to properly present
their history was not available to me. Although there are many pages of this account,
there is more history of the family omitted than included. This history is not complete
—no history ever is.
I have derived many years enjoyment from this work. I hope those who use it will
also receive pleasure from it, and add to the record I have started.

INTRODUCTION
The d'Armand family, whose history appears in these pages under many spellings,
arose in Dauphine during the Dark Ages and the era of feudalism. Their remote an-
cestry, as far as we know, was the same as that of the early inhabitants of Southern
France. They did not make their appearance in history until about 1400 but undoubtedly
the family had been established there for generations before. The earliest records are
scanty, and indicate at first an insecure nobility which was soon lost but ultimately re-
gained, and afterwards enjoyed without interruption until the days of the French
Revolution when all legal claims to nobility were abolished. However, the family still
exists in various parts of France and in its colonial possessions, zealously cherishing its
honored name and designation. In the sixteenth century, the family divided on
religious beliefs, and the Protestant members eventually established themselves in
Switzerland, The British Isles, Canada, and the United States.
Protestantism came into France about 1520, and was quickly embraced by large
numbers of the nobility and learned classes. As the religion increased in popularity and
strength among the nobility and portions of the ruling class of France, it assumed a
political aspect. The followers at first enjoyed the protection of the crown, but as their
strength threatened the stability of the Catholic ruling party, intrigues developed and the
succeeding monarchs of France found themselves first on one side of the conflict and
again on the other, and frequently playing one hand against the other. Persecution
sprang up which, through religious fanaticism, knew no restraint, and the atrocities
committed because of religious bigotry ran the gamut of imagination and cruelty. So
fantastic were some of the excessive forms of this persecution that simple death repre-
sented a mild penalty for Protestant adherence.
The country experienced eight civil wars in less than one hundred years, and at
one period the Huguenots achieved a measure of relief through the passage of the Edict
of Nantes, granting freedom of religious worship. However, the Peace of Alais, June
27, 1629, put an end to the civil wars in France and destroyed the Huguenots as a
political party. Repression of the sect gradually increased in severity and persecution,
and after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes was signed by Louis XIV on October 18,
1685, its adherents found a choice of accepting the Catholic faith or extermination.
Licentious soldiery was turned loose in their communities who destroyed their churches,
homes, and in some cases, killed their ministers. Indeed, history records an appalling
number of deaths from flogging, burning, beheading and hanging.
The Reformed Religion being centered in southeastern France, it was early embraced
by members of the d'Armand family, Claude (KG V, France) , being the first recorded
as an adherent. Stapleton in his MEMORIALS TO THE HUGUENOTS mentions
the death of Marie deArmand, who was flayed alive; David, who was compelled to lay
his head on a block when a soldier crushed it with a hammer; his brother, Paul, was also
killed. How many members of the family fled from France during the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, we will never know. Actual records of the family show that after
the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, all the Huguenot members of the family fled to
Geneva.
From this point on, the record is obscured, both by the confusion of the times and
by intent of the refugees. History tells us that the Huguenot refugees found their way
from Switzerland through Germany and Holland into England and Scotland. The
2 DeARMOND FAMILIES OF AMERICA
Protestant nations were inflamed by stories of the atrocities visited upon these unfortunate
people and welcomed them with open arms and facilitated their passage beyond their
borders when their own resources became overtaxed by the great numbers which con-
tinued to arrive. This hegira of the nobility and intelligentsia of France lost to the
nation upwards of a million of the finest brains and artisans of the country.
In 1689, William of Orange found his war against the King of France being opposed
by the Irish Catholics and sent a considerable body of troops to Ireland under the com-
mand of the Duke de Schomberg, who landed at Bangor with about 15,000 men. The
following year, William came himself to Ireland to conduct the campaign and landed
at Carrickfergus on June 14, 1690, where he immediately joined de Schomberg. On
July 1st, William's army advanced against the Irish. The battle waged hotly and
William's troops were driven back temporarily but rallied at the cry of Schomberg,
"Voila vos persecuteurs!" and drove the Irish back and the Battle was secured, de
Schomberg was killed as was the leader of the Huguenot troops. There were about 2200
Huguenot men contained in three regiments and about 700 officers scattered among the
other battalions of William's army. In gratitude for the zealous and effective support of
these men and officers and conscious of their great persecution, he invited them to make
their homes in his new dominions. At his command, many of these Huguenots were
awarded land in North Ireland for their services.
The identity or dates of arrival of the first members of the d'Armand family to reach
British shores is not known but Francois, at least, was in England in 1700, according to
the Baptism Records of the French Church, Threadneedle Street, London, and his
brothers soon after, according to the same records. Apparently, they were in England
for awhile but ultimately Louis and Francois availed themselves of William IV's offer of
'denication' in North Ireland, and subscribed to the Oath Rolls for such denication, and
secured land and homes there. Philippe was living in England as late as 1714, and his
son, Henry, was born in England in 1726, indicating that he may have remained there.
At first, they seem to have abandoned all claim to the distinction and nobility of
their family since they rejected use of the noble prefix when being married or having
their children baptized, but later records indicate that they reverted to the use of the
prefix which remains a part of the name today. The family designation they seem to
have abandoned completely.
Those who settled in North Ireland soon ran into phonetic difficulties, as did their
hosts. Several corruptions of the name occurred and the spelling soon resembled more
closely older Irish names than the original French form. We find 'Diermond', 'Deyer-
mont', 'Dermond', and even 'DeyArmon'. Those of the family who remained in England
seem to have preserved more closely the French spelling, for James (Line A, America)
spelled his name 'd'Armond' when he signed his will in 1748, and his brother's name
appeared in early Pennsylvania records as 'Henry D'Armond'.
None of the original refugee members of the family ever reached America. It is
doubtful if such immigration occurred to or appealed to them. The American colonies
in those early days were primitive settlements and offered little inducement to people
from the higher walk of life who had been accustomed to the comforts and advantages
of European civilization. They apparently lived out their lives in England, Scotland
and Ireland. The next generation, however, not accustomed to the high standard of
living enjoyed by their parents during their earlier years, heard of the new colonization
plan for Pennsylvania, and a very few of the second generation immigrated there. James
(Line A, America) was the first to come to Pennsylvania, about 1735, and his brother,
Henry (Line B, America), before 1748. During the 1750's and 1760's, the immigratkm
INTRODUCTION 3
from Scotland and Ireland increased, the immigrants being, apparently, of the third
refugee generation. By 1800, there were perhaps twenty families established in America,
two being in Nova Scotia, and the remainder in the United States.
American phonetics began to exert its influence on the name almost immediately,
and after several variants were tried in an effort to approximate the sound of the queer
French name, a compromise seems to have been reached by most of the families in the
United States, even though they were widely separated and had little or no inter-
communication. By 1800, the name was being spelled 'Dearmond', art! later, 'De-
Armond'. There is full evidence, however, that all these families were thoroughly
conscious of their noble French origin, and a confused awareness that their name was
not being spelled correctly. On special occasions, members of succeeding generations
would revert to an approximation of the French spelling, and 'D'Armond' appears
frequently, even up to the present day.
From Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania, these early families sent out their sons
as pioneers into the new regions being wrested from the Indians and wilderness, as will
be seen from the following individual biographical sketches. The families now inhabit
every state in the union. These records of them are far from complete but offer a
basic pattern wherein every living member of the family can find his forebears, either
through use of the general index, or by additional research
FR ANCE
d'ARMAND de CHATEAUVIEUX
This noble family, of great antiquity, had its origins very early in Dauphine, long
before that duchy became a part of France. The family is first recorded simply as
'd'Armand', but as the descendants increased in wealth, honor and distinction, the
various branches acquired a definitive designation. From the original stem come the
families, d'Armand de Chateauvieux, Armand de Forest de Blacons, Armand de la
Garciniere, and Armand de Mison. The Chateauvieux branch appears to be the only
one which employed the noble prefix before the family name.
The first name found is that of Pierre d'Armand, as a nobleman in 1400, whose
recorded sons were Raimond and Antoine. While the direct line appears to have
maintained its nobility, some of the descendants appear to have lost it, and we find a
later Pierre recovering his nobility in October, 1591, being verified at Grenoble in 1592,
with a new arms: d'or au chevron de gueules au chef d'azur charge d'une couronne
fermee d'or.
From Raimond, son of the first Pierre, the line descends through Arnolphe to
Guillaume, whose son Claude added to his name, Chateauvieux, a seigniary near Tallard.
Claude became an adherent of the Reformed Religion. His children appear to have
followed their father's faith, but only the children of his son, Andre, appear to have
persisted in the Huguenot religion. Guillaume's descendants reverted to the Catholic
faith. There were, undoubtedly, other defections from the state religion which have
not been recorded, and we must accept the fact that even those existing records of the
Protestant families are far from complete since they were willingly neglected by the
historians.
At first, the Protestant members of the family appear to have enjoyed religious free-
dom but after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, they eventually came under the
reign of terror and were forced to flee. So far as we know, they all refugeed in the
Republic of Geneva, some of them living out their lives there, and others moving on to
other countries. Georges (KG VII) , France, died the year following his flight to Geneva,
and the only son recorded, Andre, remained in Switzerland, we must presume, in the
absence of any information to the contrary. How many children Georges actually sired
is not recorded.

BRITISH ISLES
THE FAMILY IN EXILE
The records of the members of the d'Armand family who left France and Geneva
for the British Isles are so scanty as to be almost non-existent, and in fact, none have
been found prior to 1700. This lack of information does not preclude the possibility
that some members of the family arrived, perhaps, in Scotland and England before the
eighteenth century. This being a history, we cannot assume events, and so must content
ourselves with admitting the possibility of settlers in Scotland and perhaps England
before 1700.
We do have a record of Louis, Philippe, and Francois, in England subsequent to
1700. Their later movements are not recorded, and the Irish records consulted are silent
between 1700 and 1740 as to this family. By that date, the name had become cor-
rupted, at least in the official records preserved for our examination, and several varia-
tions were being used. By 1735, emigration to the American colonies had set in, which
steadily increased until 1800. A comparison of Irish records for the period 1740-1800
and those for the same period in America, have produced a skeleton family outline in
North Ireland which can be used as a basis for further research.
As for those members of the family who remained in Scotland or England, no records
have been found save those of the French Church, London, which cease in 1714.
RG I ESPERIT ARMAND of Ventecol, Dauphine, France
Esperit Armand, perhaps a younger son of Georges d'Armand de Chateauvieux (KG
VII, France) and Marie Chevalier, was born about 1655, at Ventecol, Dauphine, France.
After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, by which further freedom for
religious worship was denied to those of the Reformed Religion in France, his father
took refuge at Geneva, where he died in 1686. No doubt, Esperit followed his parents
into exile, taking his own family with him.
Whether he remained at Geneva or accompanied his sons on their further flight
to Scotland and England is not known. His name and that of his wife were recorded at
the marriage of his son, Philippe, at the French Church, London, on August 29, 1708.1
His wife was Lucrece M^frede.1

of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. He and his brothers found their way to Scotland or
England, apparently after they reached manhood.
He served as a captain in the Huguenot forces under William of Orange during the
subjucation of Ireland. For this service he was pensioned.2 He also subscribed to the
Oath Rolls under the Act of William IV and Mary, for encouraging Protestant strangers
to settle in Ireland.3 He also appeared as a witness at the baptism of Lasdie de Joncour,
^nril 13, 1707, French Church, London.1

RC II PHILIPPE ARMAND, of England (cl680?)
Philippe Armand, son of Esperit Armand and Lucrece Mefrede, was bom about 1680,
probably in Dauphine, France, and taken by his parents to Geneva after the revocation
of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. He made his way to England, apparently as a young
man, where he was married, on August 29, 1708, at the French Church, Thrcadneedle
Street, London, to Marie Borin of Molliens, Picardy, France, daughter of Jacques Borin
and Elizabeth Gromat.1
On January 17, 1714, he was a witness at the baptism of Jean Armand, son of his
brother, Francois.1 There is no later record of his movements and certainly no evidence
that he followed his brothers to North Ireland. We assume that he made his home in
England but one wonders why the births of his children were not recorded at the
Fren< h Church, as were two children of his brother. This omission indicates that he
mav have become domiciled somewhere too distant from the French Church to have
continued his devotions there.

RG II FRANCOIS ARMAND, of North Ireland
Francois Armand, son of Esperit Armand and Lucrece Mefrede, was born about
1685, probably in Dauphine, France, and taken by his parents to Geneva after the
revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. He later made his way to England and first
appeared there at the baptism of Francois Pourceau, on October 6, 1700, at the French
Church, London.1 He was again a witness at the baptism of Marie-Ann Bernard,4
August 31, 1701, French Church.1 His name and that of his wife, Catherine, are recorded
at the baptisms of their children, Marie and Jean, at the French Church.1
In 1709, he subscribed to the Oath Roll under the Act of William IV and Mary,
for encouraging Protestant strangers to settle in Ireland.3 He was perhaps the sire
of the family which settled at Cargy-gray, Annahilt Parish, County Down, North Ireland.

AMERICAN FAMILIES
When the immigrant ancestors of the DeArmond families of America first appeared
on this continent, they were, for the most part, already established as separate families.
Some of these families have become so extensive that it would have been confusing and
extremely impractical to treat them as a single family. Therefore, to simplify identifica-
tion and research, they have been arranged as separate families, and are identified in

JAMES d'ARMOND
of
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
and
descendants
This first American immigrant of the family reached Pennsylvania about 1735, and
lived only 13 years after becoming a settler, leaving three sons and two daughters.
The two older sons, Thomas and John, half-brothers, married sisters, and migrated
to North Carolina about 1760, where, apparently, Thomas died, leaving several children.
John settled in East Tennessee after 1784, taking his family with him. Three of
Thomas' sons, David, Samuel and Richard, followed their uncle to East Tennessee,
James, the eldest son, remaining in North Carolina, where his descendants are found
today, in Mecklenburg County. Shortly after 1800, John's son, David, in company with
Thomas' son, Samuel, and Joseph F. Flenniken, a first cousin, migrated to the
Mississippi territory, and eventually settled in Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. Other sons
of John moved into other East Tennessee counties as they were cleared of the Indians.
From these three basic settlements, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, East Ten-
nessee, and East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, descendants of the family have moved
out over the south, southwest, west and northwest. John served in the Revolutionary
War while living in North Carolina; Thomas' son, Samuel, and his sons, served with
distinction in the War of 1812, at the Battle of New Orleans. Later descendants of
both brothers rendered high service during the Civil War. The descendants of these
two brothers who participated in the two World Wars are too numerous to mention.
The youngest son, Richard, remained in Pennsylvania, and rendered loyal and
constant service to his country during the Revolutionary War. His descendants have
made distinguished and accomplished citizens of their native Pennsylvania, and with
few exceptions, the present descendants are still residing there, in and around
Philadelphia.

DeARMOND FAMILIES
AG 1 JAMES d'ARMOND (cl710-1748), Lancaster County, Penna.
James d'Armond, whose parentage has not been established, was born in either
England or Ireland, about 1710. He grew to manhood in the British Isles and courted
and married his first wife there. He came to America about 1735, and there are indica-
tions that he may have come in a group organized by the Reverend Richard Sankey
(q.v.) , a noted Presbyterian minister and missionary, since James appointed him as
guardian for his children in his will, indicating a very close attachment.1 It is also
possible that his second wife's father, James Johnston, and family, may have come in
the same group.
Whether he landed at Philadelphia or Newcastle is also unknown, but apparently
he moved inland up the Susquehanna River and finally settled at a spot west of
Manada Creek, astride the line of East and West Hanover townships, Lancaster (now
Dauphin) County, Pennsylvania.2 No doubt he spent sometime scouting the country
before selecting the site for his home, as warrant was not issued until January 18, 1737,
to James Darn (sic) for 250 acres of land "situate in Hanover Township adjoyning to
Manada Creek and the lines of John Reynolds and John McCurry, in the county of
Lancaster" by the Proprietaries of Pennsylvania.3
He died May 1748, of some ailment which took him in the prime of life. Even
during his brief span of life as a settler, he seems to have accumulated considerable
property. His will1 dated May 4, 1748, bequeathed one-half of his movable goods
and a life tenancy in the home place to his wife, Mary; the farm he purchased from
Man McXeely to his son, John, and the home place to his son, Richard. The re-
mainder of his estate was bequeathed equally to all his children, excepting that
Thomas was given five pounds and his blue coat and best hat. It appears that even
though he loved Thomas better than his other children, he failed to provide for him
equally with his younger sons, Thomas receiving only his share of the estate after all
other bequests had been disposed of. Whether this was due to the influence of his
wife in an effort to protect her own sons or the fact that James may have previously
given Thomas land, cannot be determined.
The name of his first wife is unknown, but we must assume she was born in Europe
and died shortly before or after 1735. She may have accompanied her husband to
America, and succumbed to the rigors of the voyage or the primitive life of the new
country.
James married, second, about 1737, Mary Johnston, daughter of James Johnston
(q.v.) and Ann Wilson. She was born perhaps after 1715, in County Tyrone, Ireland,
and came to America with her parents not earlier than 1735. After the death of her
husband. Mary continued the operation and development of the family holdings in
West Hanover township, assisted by her stepson, Thomas, who was then approaching
young manhood. After General Braddock's expedition against Fort Duquesne in 1755,
the Indians waged war on the settlers of Eastern Pennsylvania without mercy, and raids
and massacres were frequent. Whole sections of the new settlements were wiped out
and many other settlers abandoned their homes temporarily. Mary's father was killed
by the Indians in 1756, and about 100 families were forced to flee, and Mary and her
children were among those driven from their homes by the danger.5 Where they went
has not been recorded but after the Indians were driven back, they returned and
remained thereafter in secure possession. By this time, Thomas was already married
and undoubtedly living apart. By 1760, John was also married and ultimately the
daughters married and left home, leaving the younger son, Richard, with his mother.
Richard continued to live with his mother until her death and did not marry until
afterward.

Mary died between September 1779 and March 1780, and is supposedly buried,
along with her husband, in unmarked graves in the old English 'Cemitary' near present
Grantville, East Hanover township, where Richard and his wife were later buried. Her
will,6 dated September 21, 1779, bequeathed her land to her son, Richard, and money
and clothing to her two daughters. She instructed Richard to pay to her son, John,
one hundred pounds in Pennsylvania currency. No mention was made of Thomas, since,
being not of her blood, he had no claim on her estate.

AG II THOMAS DERMOND (1730-cl785), Mecklenburg County, N. C.
Thomas Dermond, only child of James d'Armond of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,
by his first marriage, was born about 1730.1 Since his father came to America about
1735, Thomas was little more than an infant at the time of the voyage, and it is
difficult to believe that James would have attempted the trip without the child's mother,
no whether Thomas was orphaned before or after his arrival in America is speculative.
His father soon remarried and Thomas grew to manhood on his father's farm in West
Hanover township. His father died in 1748 but Thomas apparently continued to live
at home until his marriage.2 His stepmother, Mary Johnston Dermond, died in 1779,
and did not mention Thomas in her will which is substantiation of the fact that he
was not of her blood.
He continued to live in Pennsylvania until about 1761' when he migrated with
his half brother, John, and the entire Flenniken family, to Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina. There he settled on McAlpins Creek, and lived neighbor to his wife's
brother, William Flenniken.5 The date of his death is not known but it must have
been before 1790 since he was not recorded in the 1790 census, his home was broken
up and his children scattered. The last actual record of him was in January 1769. 5
He married prior to 1753, and in Pennsylvania, Mary Flenniken (b. May 15, 1731),
daugther of James Flenniken (q.v.) and Jane Gillespie.3 She was a sister of Esther
Flenniken who married Thomas' brother, John.

AG III JAMES DEARMOND (1753-1830), Mecklenburg County, N. C.
James Dearmond, son of Thomas Dermond and Mary Flenniken, was born in
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1753, prior to his father's migration to North
Carolina about 1761. He continued to live on his father's farm which he acquired
either by inheritance or purchase. He was listed in the U. S. census, first in 1790, and
again in 1800 and 1810.1 On September 27, 1790, he purchased land in Mecklenburg
County from John Hutchison1' and on November 21, 1797, he sold to James Glass, land
lying on the east side of McAlpins Creek,3 which was the location of his home. Again
on October 7, 1797, he sold to Allen Reid, 108 acres of land on McMichaels Creek, deed
being acknowledged by his mark, and also signed by his wife, Elizabeth.4 On August 20,
1795, he also sold to Hugh Kirkpatrick, land on McMichaels Creek,5 deed being wit-
nessed by John and James Boyes. On November 16, 1815, he sold land to his son,
James junior.8 He died on February 11, 1830.
He married about 1775, Elizabeth — , born 1760 or earlier.7

AG III SAMUEL DEARMOND (cl760-1819), Feliciana Parish, La.
Samuel Dearmond, son of Thomas Dermond and Mary Flenniken, was born prob-
ably in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, prior to his father's removal to Mecklenburg
County, N. C, although the exact year is unknown, and apparently was named for his
mother's brother, Samuel Flenniken (q.v.). He grew to manhood on his father's farm
on McAlpins Creek, and evidently married in North Carolina, although there is no
known record of the marriage. After 1784, in company with his brothers, David Flen-
niken Dearmond and Richard Dearmond, he either accompanied or followed his uncle,
John Dermond (q.v.) to what later became Knox County, Tennessee, and lived there
until sometime after 1801, although one authority has him in Mississippi as early as
1795.1 This is contradicted by the tax reports for Blount County, Tennessee, for the
years 1800 and 1801, which record him as possessed of 200 acres of land in 1800 and
150 acres of land in 1801, and taxable with one white poll. His farm may have been
first in Knox County and later included in Blount County when that county was
formed in 1795. Soon after 1801, Samuel, his first cousin, David Flenniken Dearmond,
and perhaps another first cousin, Joseph F. Flenniken, son of Samuel Flenniken (q.v.) ',
left East Tennessee and went down the Tennessee River on log rafts, successfully
negotiated the Muscle Shoals on the Tennessee River in Alabama, leaving the river
where it swings north again, and followed the Natchez Trace to Mississippi.10 Ap-
parently, they reached the Mississippi territory about 1803 and remained there only a
brief time.2
Although Samuel moved into West Florida, a Spanish possession, in 1803, he did
not at first enter claim for any land. On September 8, 1806, he settled on Bayou
Pierre, and on November 15, 1806, entered claim for 150 acres.3 This tract had been
originally settled by Robert Thompson, and Samuel made his claim as assignee of
David Lum. At the same time, he entered claim for 640 additional acres Bayou
Pierre, as original settler, on October 30, 1806/ Another record indicates that he
secured additional land in June 1808." All these claims were entered while Feliciana
was st.ll a part of West Florida and under the Spanish crown. Spanish rule was over-
thrown by the settlers in 1810 and the Republic of Feliciana set up which endured for
LINE A-1-DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS DERMOND

74 days, after which the United States Congress claimed it as part of the Louisiana
Purchase. Undoubtedly our subject played a conspicuous role in this revolt. The
map of original land grants in East Feliciana Parish shows Samuel's land as lying along
the east side of Comite River, near and slightly northwest of Clinton, and consisting of
615.82 acres."
Peace was not yet to come to this rugged descendant of pioneers, and when the
United States became embroiled with Great Britain in the War of 1812, he answered
the call of General Andrew Jackson in 1814, and joined his army at New Orleans. He
served in Captain L. C. Griffeth's Horse Company, commanded by Colonel Hinds. He
was accompanied by his four sons, and served until the end of the war in 1815.'
He died in 1819, after a rich and eventful life, so typical of our pioneer ancestors
whose task it was to open up and domesticate this wild and rich continent.8
He married early in life, Elizabeth — , whose maiden name may have been Elizabeth
Greene.11 She is recorded, along with her husband, as a charter member of Old
Hephzibah Baptist Church in 1813.12 On September 1, 1819, after her husband's death,
Elizabeth purchased his assets (presumably the family personal effects), and the purchase
was secured by her son, William.8 There is no record of her birth or death.

cousins" who accompanied Samuel Dearmond to Tennessee and Mississippi.)
11. This assumption is supported by the fact that one of her sons was named 'Samuel Greene'. Again,
her grandson, John Dearmond (1800-?), named his eldest child 'Ira Green'. The appearance of the
name Greene' twice in the family strongly indicates a family origin and since there is no other source
save through Elizabeth's family, the author is fairly certain of the correctness of this assumption.

David Henniken Dearmond, son of Thomas Dermond and Mary Flenniken, was
born 1770-1780, in Mecklenburg County, N. C.3 He and his brothers, Richard and
Samuel, came to Knox County, Tennessee, sometime after 1784, in company with their
uncle, John Dearmond. He settled in what became Blount County, and became a
farmer and slave owner.1 He was reported in the 1800 and 1801 tax and taxable
property reports for Blount County, as owner of 100 acres of land and taxable for one
wh.te poll. The location of his holdings in Blount County has not been determined.
He d!ed in 1838, leaving no will, and his son, Thomas Gillespie DeArmond, was ap-
pointed administrator.2

AG III RICHARD DEARMOND (cl770-cl819), Lawrence County, Ala.
Richard Dearmond, son of Thomas Dermond and Mary Flenniken, was born
probably in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, although the year is unknown. He
came to East Tennessee with his brothers, Samuel and David Flenniken, and settled
in Knox County, Tennessee. His farm was later included in Blount County when that
county was formed. He is recorded as owning 200 acres of land in 1800, and 150 acres
in 1801, in the tax lists for those years.1
His name is recorded as bondsman on the marriage bond of William Stephenson
and Jean Hamilton, dated April 17, 1793,3 indicating he had already reached his
majority.
He is shown on December 22, 1792, as a corporal with six men, holding a frontier
garrison at Wells Station, Knox County (later Blount County), against the Indians.'
On June 8, 1797, he was shown as an ensign in Captain Rhea's Company, vice John
Kelly, Tennessee Militia; and on May 25, 1799, as lieutenant, and again on October
23, 1799, as captain.* The 1800 and 1801 tax lists for Blount County, Tennessee, include
Captain Dearmond's company, indicating he still held that rank.1
In 1810, he secured a Tennessee land grant for 346 acres of land in Blount County,
lying along the Little River, being in the vicinity of present-day Chandler's Station.
This grant may have been secured to clear title to his lands which he had settled before
the creation of the State of Tennessee under North Carolina land grant, all such land
grants having been declared void by the Tennessee legislature.6
Sometime after 1801, he left Blount County and settled in Lawrence County, Ala-
bama, where he died about 1819. His will left one half of his estate to Peggy A. Dear-
mond, daughter of his brother, David Flenniken Dearmond, of Blount County,
Tennessee.'
No evidence has been found indicating that he married or had a family.

AG IV WILLIAM DEARMOND (cl775-1857), Bradley County, Tennessee
William Dearmond, son of James Dearmond, senior, and Elizabeth ?Reid, was born
in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, 1770-1780. He must have migrated from North
Carolina to Tennessee rather early in life as the U. S. census for 1850 records his son,
William M., as having been born in Tennessee in 1800. Where he first settled after
reaching Tennessee is not known, but he may have tarried for a while in the vicinity of
Knoxville, as the lower East Tennessee counties were not open for settlement until
shortly after the turn of the century. He was a farmer, and his search for more and
better land undoubtedly prompted his move to the fertile and well watered lands of
lower East Tennessee. He may also have influenced his uncle, Allen Dearmond. to
move to East Tennessee, although Allen did not leave the state of his birth until after
1827. There is some evidence that William may have also operated a grist mill in
connection with his farming. He ultimately settled in Bradley County, and made his
home at Flint Springs.1 He died between February and August, 1857.2
The name of his wife is not known.

Indians and often attended their councils. He served on the first jury in Bradley County. Buried at
Flint Springs."

AG IV ALLEN DEARMOND (1785-1842), Monroe County, Tenn.
Allen Dearmond, son of James Dearmond, senior, and Elizabeth ?Reid, was born
December 16, 1785, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, where he grew to man-
hood and married.13 He became a successful farmer and owned land. He was also a
county magistrate, as evinced by documents executed before him.1 On March 1,
1827, he sold his farm in Mecklenburg County,2 and soon afterward removed to Ten-
nessee, settling in Monroe County. On February 5, 1828, he purchased land from
George Davis,3 and about 1829 or 1830, he purchased land from F. S. Clarke.4 The
1830 census shows him as a man of means, with a large family, and owning 5 slaves.8
He is again recorded in the 1840 census with one additional son."
He died in 1842. His will, probated the same year, gave his age and date of birth,
and mentioned all his living children and the son of a deceased daughter.7

DeARMOND FAMILIES
He married in North Carolina, Mary Caldwell (b. 1790), daughter of Agnes Cald-
well, widow.8 On December 30, 1845, Mary sold all her personal effects to her daughters,
Elizabeth and Sarah, her son-in-law, Peter Twoomy, and her other children, in exchange
for a bond for her lifetime maintenance.' The 1850 census for Monroe County, Ten-
nessee, records Mary Dearmon, age 50, birthplace Kentucky, as living with her daughter,
Elizabeth, age 30, birthplace Tennessee. If this refers to our subject's wife, there are
glaring discrepancies, as circumstances require her birthplace and that of her daughter,
Elizabeth, to have been North Carolina, and her age not less than 60 in 1850. No
further record of Mary has been found, and the date of her death is not known.

AG IV THOMAS FLENNIKEN D'ARMOIND (1795-1865), East Feliciana Parish, La.
Thomas Flenniken D'Armond, son of Samuel Dearmond and Elizabeth ?Greene,
was born March 1, 1795, in Blount County, Tennessee,1 although one authority has him
born in Mississippi.2 About 1802, his father left Blount County, Tennessee, and moved
down the Tennessee River and the Natchez Trace to Mississippi Territory, where he
remained until about 1803, when he moved on into the Feliciana section of West
Florida. There Thomas grew to manhood. He married at the age of 18, and moved
into a home of his own. Within a year after his marriage, he joined his father and
brothers in the War of 1812, and served with General Jackson in the Battle of New
Orleans.6 He returned home to his young wife and baby with the rank of "Captain",
which his friends continued to use in addressing him throughout his life. He later
engaged in the mercantile business at Clinton, the firm name being Guay &: DeArmond.15
This business was in active operation in the 1830's, but was apparently dissolved later
by court action. After the death of his first wife in 1833, he visited his son, Samuel
44 DeARMOND FAMILIES
Jackson, who was living in Roane County, Tennessee.2 There he met and married a
sister of his son's wife. He remained in Roane County about a year, afterwards return-
ing to his home in Louisiana.
He became a planter and one of the prominent men of his community, not only
because of his wealth and business ability but for his intellect and culture as well. He
was a tall, erect man, kind and generous and jolly,3 and possessed of unusual gifts of
energy and industry, since he amassed quite a fortune in lands and slaves during his
active years.4
His plantation, located on the hills east of Clinton about four miles, consisted of
484.74 acres,* and became known as 'D'Armond Hill', which designation is still in use
today. It lay on gently rolling hills, and represented some of the choicest holdings in
the parish. He lived out his later years in peace, comfort and affluence until the advent
of the Civil War. In common with all Southern planters, he owned many slaves, over
a hundred in fact, and when they were freed at the end of the war, his land holdings
were of little value to him without the slaves to cultivate them. Being then 70 years
of age, the destruction of the civilization he had contributed so much of his life to
build was a great shock to him. That, combined with the death of his son, Lafayette,
during the course of the war, undoubtedly hastened his death. He died June 13, 1865,
and was buried in the family plot, not far from his mansion house. This plot, located
on 'D'Armond Hill', is in a good state of preservation today, and the headstones are
all erect and completely legible (1951) .
He married first, on May 13, 1813, Julia Ann White (b. Jan. 1, 1795; d. Feb. 25,
1833; g. D'Armond Hill cemetery, East Feliciana Parish, La.)T It is possible she was
a daughter of Gideon White, as he is recorded as a close relative in a family council
held at Clinton, Louisiana, after her death, to discuss her children's property interests.*
The name 'Gideon* also appears in the name of one of her sons, and is repeated again
and again in later generations.
He married second, on November 3, 1836, in Roane County, Tennessee,11 Elizabeth
Thompson DeArmond (b. Aug. 19, 1806, Roane County, Tennessee; d. May 2, 1850,
East Feliciana Parish, La.; g. D'Armond Hill c.) , his second cousin, and a daughter of
James DeArmond (q.v.) and Susan Shadden. After a year in Roane County as a bride,
she accompanied her husband to his plantation home in Louisiana. She was a sister
of Gnzza B. DeArmond who married her husband's son, Samuel Jackson D'Armond,
senior. Her grave is marked with a handsome headstone which contains statistics of her
birth, marriage and death, and is in perfect condition today (1951) .
He married third, on April 9, 1865, Roxana E. Musselman, who, it is believed,
was a widow at the time of the marriage.14 No issue.

AG IV WILLIAM DeARMOND (cl797-cl825), Feliciana Parish, La.
William DeArmond, son of Samuel Dearmond and Elizabeth PGreene, was born
about 1797, in Blount County, Tennessee, and was taken as a small child by his
parents to Mississippi Territory and later into West Florida.1 He spent his boyhood
in Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, and while still a 'teen age lad, volunteered for service
in the War of 1812, enlisting in the 1st Regiment of Volunteers, Mississippi Territory,
this regiment being composed of Amite County, Mississippi, men. The fact that William
lived across the line in only recently liberated Feliciana would have mattered not to
Mississippi authorities, since none of these early settlers were concerned with political
boundaries, their whole attention being directed toward the land.2
On February 8, 1816, William married Falley (or Falby) Cobb, in Amite County,
Mississippi.3 In the absence of any information to the contrary, we must assume that
he was a farmer, and probably lived on and helped cultivate his father's large holdings.
After his father's death in 1819, William's mother, Elizabeth, purchased his father's
assets, the purchase being secured by William.4
He died as a young man, between 1820 and 1825, since his widow was married to
William Gore on September 16, 1827.5 The family apparently left East Feliciana Parish
before 1830, since William Gore7 is not listed in the 1830 census there.

AG IV SAMUEL GREENE DeARMOND, Sr. (cl800-1834), East Feliciana Parish, La.
Samuel Greene DeArmond, Sr., son of Samuel Dearmond and Elizabeth PGreene,
was born either in Blount County, Tennessee, or Mississippi Territory about 1800.
While still a lad, he accompanied his father and three brothers when they volunteered
LINE A-l -DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS DERMOND 47
in 1814 for service with General Andrew Jackson during the War of 1812, and par-
ticipated in the Battle of New Orleans with L. C. Griffeth's Horse Company.11 He
probably became a farmer on at least a part of his father's plantation, as he reached
his majority shortly after his father's death in 1819. On November 3, 1829, he made
a cash sale of some commodity to Letha Gordon,1 and on February 19, 1833, he and
his brother, Thomas F., gave power of attorney to Samuel Cobb et al.2 His life span
was quite short, and subsequent to his death, Samuel Jackson DeArmond and David
F. Dearmond swore to the authenticity of his signature to articles of agreement between
Samuel G. Dearmond and his brother, Thomas F., executed under date of June 7,
1834.3 Therefore, we may assume that he died in 1834, between June and October.
He probably fell victim to one of the fevers so prevalent in the early days of that
country before science had conquered yellow fever and other miasmic ailments.
He married at an early age, Elizabeth Story, daughter of Edward Story, Senior.4
After her husband's death, she continued to live in East Feliciana Parish for awhile"
but the 1840 census for Feliciana Parish reveals the family gone from the parish and
no further record of her has been found.

AG IV JOHN DeARMOND (1800-?), East Feliciana Parish, La.
John DeArmond, son of Samuel Dearmond and Elizabeth PGreene, was born in
Blount County, Tennessee, in 1800, and taken as a child to Mississippi Territory. In
1803, his father moved into Feliciana which was then a part of West Florida, a Spanish
possession.1 Very early in his life, he must have filed for a tract of land adjacent to
David Flenniken Dearmond, senior, since he is listed as an original settler of the parish
with 630.25 acres.2 He was a planter and wheelwright, and apparently engaged in trading
as well.1 He is listed in every census for East Feliciana Parish through 1850/ Although
the 1860 census has not been examined, transfers made by his wife after 1850 indicate
the possibility of his death before 1855.5
He married in Feliciana Parish, on Mar. 1, 1824, Sarah Yarbrough" (b. 1804, in La.),
perhaps a daughter or sister of Lewis Yarbrough.7

AG IV THOMAS GILLESPIE DeARMOND (1795-?), Blount County, Tennessee
Thomas Gillespie DeArmond, son of David Flenniken Dearmond and Margaret
Harvey, was born in Blount County, Tennessee, in 1795.1
Through his interest in the firm of Samuel Sherrill 8c Company and that company's
purchase in 1855 of tracts of land in the Great Smoky Mountains, DeArmond Bald and
DeArmond Ridge (see cut) were named for our subject.2 At the death of his father in
1838, he was appointed administrator for his father's estate. He served in the War of
1812 as a second lieutenant in Captain David McKann's company, East Tennessee
Drafted Militia, from September 20, 1814 until May 3, 1815, the term of his enlistment.5
Although the date of his death has not been ascertained it has been established that
he was buried in Clarkes cemetery, Blount County.
He married on November 6, 1817, Elizabeth Caldwell (b. 1800, Rockford, Ten-

AG V JOHN ALLEN DeARMOND (1806-1876), Flint Springs, Tenn.
John Allen DeArmond, son of William Dearmond, was born in Tennessee, Decem-
ber 22, 1806. Since his father's first home in Tennessee is not known, we do not know
where John Allen spent his boyhood. Eventually, his father settled in Bradley County
after the Indians were evacuated, and John Allen secured a grant for land which had
been cleared by the Indians, in Flint Springs Valley. He made his home there for a
number of years, and there he met and married his wife. At some later date, he moved
across the state line and lived at Red Clay, Georgia, and operated a farm and grist mill
while his eldest son, John Thompson, was a boy. He later returned to Bradley County,
Tennessee, and lived out the remainder of his life at Flint Springs. Bradley County
court records show him as serving on the grand jury, Circuit Court, in 1841.
He married, Dec. 15, 1836, Patience E. Lusk (b. July 3, 1815, Bledsoe County, Tenn.;
d. Dec. 1, 1876, Bradley County), daughter of Joseph Lusk, II (q.v.) and Rebekah Igou.
He died at his home on November 21, 1876, followed in a few days by his wife and
daughter, Lethia E. Legend says that they were poisoned by some milk they drank
which had been standing for a time in a cupboard near some paint or other poisonous
substance. He is buried at Flint Springs.

Tennessee. He grew to manhood in Monroe County, and married there.1 There
seems to be disagreement about his actual name. His father mentioned him in his
will as "J. E.", and he is listed in the 1850 census as "John", but O. K. Lyle2 lists his
name as "John W. W." Sometime after 1850, he followed his two older brothers to
Kentucky, and settled in or near Muhlenberg County, and continued the pursuit of
farming.
He married first, about 1846, in Tennessee, Lorrinda Caroline Girdner (b. 1827,

AG V SAMUEL JACKSON D'ARMOND, SR. (1816-1897), Kingston, Tenn.
Samuel Jackson DArmond, senior, son of Thomas Flenniken D'Armond and Julia
Ann White, was born in Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, March 21, 1816.1 He grew to
manhood on his father's plantation, and was educated in Louisiana, attending Silliman
Institute, an excellent and popular academy at Clinton.2
In 1835, he was ordered by his doctor to get out of Louisiana because of his health,
and he came to East Tennessee, seeking his father's people. He visited the family of
his grandfather's first cousin, James DeArmond, who lived at DeArmond (Little Emory)
Gap, in Roane County.9 James had a large family, mostly daughters. Samuel Jackson
60 DeARMOND FAMILIES
fell in love with and married one of these daughters, who was four years his senior, he
being 19 years old at the time of his marriage. By marrying so young, he was following
his father's example who married at the age of 18, as well as that of his grandfather
who also married at an early age. After his marriage, he took his bride to Louisiana,
where they remained through 1836.2 In 1837, he returned to Roane County, Tennessee,
and settled first on a farm a few miles east of Kingston, where he engaged in farming.
In December 1853, he moved to Kingston, and entered the mercantile business. Located
at the confluence of the Tennessee and Clinch rivers, Kingston was an important way
station on the old post road from Nashville to Knoxville, and Washington. The Clinch
river was negotiated by means of a ferry and Kingston was an overnight stop. Thus,
our subject had an ideal location for his mercantile business, which throve not only
on the travelers but the citizens of Roane County, who thronged to the county seat for
Court Day and also glimpses of the world outside their restricted lives. He remained
in active operation of this business for more than 40 years, and amassed considerable
wealth in lands, investments, and money, and became one of the most prominent citizens
of Roane County. He was greatly respected for his business acumen, Christian charity,
and had many friends. In early life, he joined the Methodist church, but later affiliated
with the Presbyterian church, which he supported generously and unfailingly by funds,
word and deed.
Always of a frail physique, advancing years brought failing health, and he eventually
relinquished the operation of his mercantile business to his sons. By husbanding his
strength and guarding his health, in spite of his delicate constitution, he lived well into
his eightieth year. He died suddenly of pneumonia, on January 4, 1897," and is buried
at Kingston.
He married first, on November 19, 1835, Grizza Blackburn DeArmond (b. May 13,
1812, Roane County, Tennessee; d. Dec. 4, 1852, Kingston), daughter of James
DeArmond (q.v.) and Susan Shadden.4 His father married her sister, Elizabeth, and
his brother, James Gideon, married her sisters, Matilda and Susan Ann.
He married second, on January 31, 1858/ Margaret Ann Yost (b. July 4, 1830,
Claiborne County, Tenn.; d. Jan. 18, 1897, Kingston), daughter of Rev. George W.
Yost (b. Maryland, 1787; d. 1865) and his wife, Margaret (b. Va.). She came to
Kingston with her parents at the age of 2 years and was of German-Irish extraction."

"S. J. D'Armond, a prominent merchant, one of Kingston's oldest citizens, was born in 1816 in
Louisiana and came to Roane County in 1837. He began farming the next year and was so engaged
until 1853, when in December he came to Kingston and embarked in the mercantile trade which he
has since continued. In Novembei, 1835, he married G. B. D'Armond by whom he had one son
and three daughters, Thomas H. of Louisiana, and Matilda J. (now Mrs. Christian) living in
Johnson City, Tennessee, and two daughters deceased. His wife died in 1852, and he afterwards
married Margaret A. Yost, a native of Virginia but reared in Kingston. They have two sons and
a daughter, James G., M. E., and S. J., all of Kingston. The family are members of the Presbyterian
Church. The D'Armond family is of French origin, and the grandfather and one or two cousins
were pioneers of Knox County which they left about 1790 or 1795, and after a few years in Missis-
sippi, moved to Louisiana, where they died. Thomas F., the father, who was born in Mississippi
in 1795, went to Louisiana with his parents and there his death occurred. He lived in Roane County
a year, about twelve months after our subject located here. Julia A. White, the mother, was living
in Louisiana at the time of their marriage. Of two sons and two daughters reared in the family, our
subject and his brother in Louisiana are the only survivors."
2. Guay & DeArmond, merchants, Clinton, La., ledger, p. 212 (Department of Archives, Louisiana
State University). Sam J. De'Armond (sic) made purchases from January 25, 1836, through Dec.
9, 1836, consisting mostly of women's apparel. To this was added a charge of 5100 cash, apparently
a gift from his father. To the total amount of this account was added an item of 518.98, marked
"Amt of Thos. Sillimans Boarding acct", evidently the final balance due for his schooling and board
before his marriage. To this account was added another item of 527.75, January 3, 1837, "To amt
of F. Hardesty's acct". The entire account was transferred to his father's account.
Ibid., p. 377. An account originally entered as S. J. and G. DeArmond on which later another
62
DeARMOND FAMILIES
initial was inserted, causing it to read: S. J. and J. G. DeArmond. The author is convinced that
the original caption is the correct one, and represented an account for "Samuel Jackson and Gnzza
De\rmond" The purchases consisted of such items as would be given to a bride and groom, and
may have been an account of convenience to record purchases made by his father and other relatives
and friends Charges consisted of "a small falling leaf table; set of plates; set of cups and saucers;
damask table cloth; tumblers; set of knives and forks; 1 stake dish; 1 pr. glass lamps; 1 pr. brass
fire dogs", the last purchase on October 27 being for a leather trunk. Wm Kelly paid $10.00 on
the account; ?F. W. Dunn applied a credit of $18.00 for 10 pounds brown sugar, and a payment
of cash. $40.00, was made on December 5, 1836. This account was active from January 20, 1836,
through December 5, 1836. Final unpaid balance was transferred to "Thos. F. D'Armonds acct.".
3. East Tennessean, Kingston, Tennessee, Thursday, January 7, 1897, Obituary:
"S J. D'Armond, after a few hours painless sickness, died Monday evening at 8:30, full of years
and honor. Thus passes from the stage of life another of our oldest, most worthy and respected
citizens. Mr. D'Armond was born in Louisiana in 1816, and had he lived until March next he
would have been four score and one. When 19 years of age he came to Tennessee and settled on
a farm a few miles east of Kingston, and subsequently removed to town, where he engaged in the
mercantile business. That was in about 1850, nearly half a century ago, since which time he had
been actively engaged in this business, until a few years ago, when increasing years and impaired
health admonished him, retired, turning the business over to his sons. Always delicate and subject
to sudden attacks, he, as well as his family, strove to guard and protect him, by the tenderest care
and solicitude, and his fatal sickness, pneumonia, came Sunday morning without premonition, and
not from exposure or imprudence, as far as known. The day previous and when he retired the
night before, he was in his usual health. Thus passes to the great beyond a devoted husband, kind
father, exemplary' citizen, neighbor and friend. Mr. D'Armond was from early life connected with
the Methodist and later the Presbyterian church, of which he was a member at the time of his death,
always active and zealous in the work, giving liberally of his means and efforts to the cause of
Christianity. He leaves a widow and several sons and daughters and grandchildren to revere his
memory, to whom the sympathies and consolation of the community are tendered. The funeral
services will take place this (Wednesday) afternoon from the Presbyterian church.

a deed to her uncle, John DeArmond, of Harriman, Tennessee, under date of April 25, 1866, in
which she mentions herself as being one of four children of her mother, Grizza.
6. Ibid., book and page not shown. F. M. Wylie executed a contract of action to John D'Armond of

Wylie, failed to execute a deed for her share of her grandfather's (James DeArmond) estate by May
29, 1866. He signed himself as a citizen of Roane County, Tennessee. This document was registered
on March 10, 1866 and attested before William B. Nichols and John L. (or F.) White. This was
a part of a long drawn out action by John DeArmond to purchase his father's home, since his father
had died intestate.

8. East Tennessean, Kingston, Tennessee, Thursday, March 4, 1897: Obituary.
"Mrs. Margaret Ann D'Armond, wife of S. J. D'Armond, Sr., was born in Claiborn County, Ten-
nessee, July 4, 1830, and died at her home in Kingston, at 20 minutes to 6 o'clock, Monday morning,
January 18, 1897, of pneumonia, aged 66 years, 6 months and 14 days; following her beloved husband
in two weeks. She was the daughter of Rev. George and Margaret Yost and came to Kingston with
her parents, at the age of two years. She was of German-Irish extraction. Her father was reared
in Maryland and her mother in Virginia. In 1832 her parents moved to Kingston, where they lived
and died. Her father was a minister of the Protestant Methodist Church; her mother a staunch
Presbyterian, in which faith she taught her children. Mrs. D'Armond's brothers, George W., Eldridge
A., James C, and Allen Yost, were well known merchants here. She professed religion at Asbury's
Camp Ground when 16 years of age, and remained steadfast, until the glass we see through darkly
was removed. Sunday afternoon, January 31, 1858, she was married to S. J. D'Armond, Sr., in
Kingston, at the Brick Church, M. E. South. There was born to them two sons and two daughters:
James G., Mary Kate, Margaret E., now Mrs. S. M. French; and Samuel J. D'Armond, Jr., all
survive her, and are residents of this place, except Mary Kate, who died in her fourth year. Mrs.
D'Armond's funeral was a duplicate of her husband's. She was buried at the same hour, on the
same day of the week, the same pall bearers, the same hymns, the same loving hands with flowers,
the same people, the same drapery, and the same preacher, Rev. M. C. Bruner, of the M. E. Church.
Everything was as near like the obsequies of two weeks before as possible. It was touching and sad.
... She was buried beside her husband in the Presbyterian burial ground, multitude of friends
following her remains. She led a pure life, and was a devoted daughter, mother and grandmother,
never angry, always agreeable, full of life, and a superior housekeeper. Never was there a more
faithful wife; always at home, tender, thoughtful, untiring; she kept the flickering flame of life in
her beloved husband, when more than once, the lamp would have gone out many years ago, and
her husband often gave her the credit. Truly she was an angel of that household."

D'Armond, Sr. He was born March 21, 1816, in East Feliciana Parish, La., and was aged 80 years,
9 months and 13 days. His family was of French extraction— staunch Huguenots, they were compelled
to flee from the land of their nativity, coming to America about 1752. His grandfather and one
or two cousins were pioneers of Knox County. In 1790 or 1795, they left Knox County and moved
to Miss., where Thos. F. D'Armond, his father, was born, in 1795, and from there moved to
Louisiana.
The subject of this sketch was the last survivor of his entire family. In December 1830, he com-
menced the life of a merchant. Owing to ill health, his physicians advised travel. On his route to
Kentucky, he came through Rhea, Knox and Roane Counties, where he found many relatives.
Settling in Roane in 1835, he began farming the next year, and continued up to December 1853,
(and for many years kept the stage tavern on the Kingston and Knoxville road) when he moved to
Kingston and embarked in the mercantile business.
In 1887, he retired from business on a competency, but spent the remainder of his life in caring for
his estate, and contributing to the comfort and happiness of his wife, children, and grandchildren, and
it can be said of him, he was a model husband and father.
His first marriage was to Miss Grizzie B. D'Armond, Nov. 19, 1835, who died in 1852. Of this union,
there were five children— only two survive— Henry H. D'Armond of Johnson City, and Mrs. Rev. W.
M. Christian, of Morristown, Tenn. On Sunday evening, January 31, 1858, he was united in marriage
to Miss Margaret A. Yost, of Kingston, to whom were born two sons and two daughters, of which
number, J. G. D'Armond, S. J. D'Armond, Jr., and Mrs. S. M. French, of Kingston, only survive.
He professed religion, October 17, 1866, at a revival, held by Revs. Samuel W. Hyden and James
T. Fowler, and joined the M. E. Church that night. He was a Sunday School worker, and for a
number of years was a superintendent of the Sunday School. Subsequently, he joined Bethel Presby-
terian Church, in Kingston, of which he was a member at his death. After prayer and song at the
house, at 2 o'clock p.m., on Wednesday, January 6th, the body was conveyed to the church, where
Rev. M. C. Bruner preached to a crowded house, from Job 5:26. "Thou Shalt come to thy grave
in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season". Loving hands covered the remains of
the deceased with flowers. The pulpit was appropriately draped in black. His body was consigned
to the earth in the Presbyterian cemetery of Kingston. Thus were the last rites paid to one of the
oldest citizens of Kingston and this county. It is not necessary to repeat the eulogy pronounced upon
him by the preacher, for his family knew him as a husband and father, the community as a citizen,
and the church as a member."
AG V JAMES GIDEON D'ARMOND, SR. (1818-1892), Clinton, Louisiana
James Gideon D'Armond, senior, son of Thomas Flenniken D'Armond and Julia
Ann White, was born November 4, 1818, in Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. He grew to
manhood on his father's plantation, and received an excellent education from the
institutions then available to the youth of that section, including Silliman's Institute
at Clinton.1
In 1842, then 23 years old, he visited his brother, Samuel Jackson, who was living in
Roane County, Tennessee. He met and married a sister of Samuel Jackson's wife.
Apparently, he did not immediately return to Louisiana but settled at Camden,
Arkansas, where he was engaged in the mercantile business.2 After the death of his
first wife, he left his children at his father's home in East Feliciana Parish until his
second marriage. In 1849, he returned to Roane County, Tennessee, and married a
younger sister of his first wife. His two wives, his brother's first wife, and his father's
second wife were sisters. He continued to live at Camden, Arkansas, until after the
birth of his daughter, Elizabeth. His wife, at least, returned to Clinton before 1854,
but it is uncertain just when our subject terminated his business interests at Camden
and elsewhere, and returned to Clinton. During these years, he operated several stores
at various locations, apparently in the manner of the present-day chain stores. Eventually
he did return to Clinton, and operated a general merchandising business there, located
on the corner where the Clinton Bank is now located.2
His business grew through the years until it was the largest and most successful of its
sort in the parish. In addition to his mercantile enterprise, he dealt in cotton exporting,
with a partner in New Orleans. He accumulated much wealth, and contributed heavily
to the building of the stone Baptist church, which in early years had beautiful stained
glass windows.3 He was a very thrifty man and purchased light brown sugar in hogs-
64 DeARMOND FAMILIES
heads weighing perhaps a ton, which was unloaded on the walk in front of his store.
It required several Negroes using spades and shovels to transfer the sugar into smaller
barrels. The empty hogsheads were then moved to his pasture lands where his bees
converted the remaining sugar into honey."
During the Civil War, his well-stocked and prosperous establishment was irresistible
to the occupying Union troops. He maintained a glass cabinet in the dry goods section
containing cardboard rolls of fine silk ribbons. On occasion, Union soldiers would
drive their horses into the store, snatch these ribbons, tie the ends to their horses'
bridles, and go racing out, the whole bolt of ribbon streaming behind them.1
He was a man of culture, maintained an excellent library, was a deep reader and
a Shakespearean scholar. He was a fine mathematician and a great chess player. He
was quite a distinguished figure, with his handsome clothing and fine hats, but withal
was a charitable and well beloved person. He lived in a spacious handsome home
with large premises, on Bank Street opposite the "Marston House", home of the wealthy,
aristocratic Marston family. Later in life, his wealth was greatly reduced due to the
changing cotton economy which prevented the collection of his extensive credits to his
farmer customers, and the unconscious extravagances of his family, long geared to a
life of wealth and indulgence.2
He died May 27, 1892, at the age of 73. Funeral services were conducted by the
Masonic Lodge from the Baptist church and interment was in Clinton cemetery.
He married first, September 29, 1842, in Roane County, Tennessee, Matilda
DeArmond7 (b. June 20, 1814, Roane County, Tenn.; d. May 20, 1845, East Feliciana
Parish, La.; g. DArmond Hill c), daughter of James DeArmond (q-v.) and Susan
Shadden. She was four years senior to her husband. She died at the birth of her
daughter, Susan, at Thomas F. D'Armond's home in East Feliciana Parish, where she
was living while her husband's business enterprises kept him away from his family. Her
headstone is in excellent condition and clearly legible today (1951) .
He married second, September 4, 1849, in Roane County, Tennessee,7 Susan Ann
DeArmond (b. Jan. I, 1829, Roane County, Tenn.; d. May 14, 1908; g. Fort Worth,
Texas), daughter of James DeArmond and Susan Shadden, and a sister of his first wife.
According to her descendants, Susan Ann eloped to marry the man of her choice, al-
though the ceremony was performed and recorded in Roane County. She was a
woman of great beauty, courage and culture, and graced the spacious home of her
husband with her charm and taste. After her husband's death in 1892, she and four
of her daughters moved to Fort Worth, Texas, where her stepdaughter (and niece) ,
Susan Julia Matilda, was living. There she lived out the remaining years of her life.

AG V SAMUEL JACKSON DEARMAND (1820-?), Ascension Parish, La.
Samuel Jackson Dearmand, son of William Dearmond and Fally Cobb, was born
in Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, in 1820. He was named, probably, for his grandfather,
Samuel Dearmond, and General Andrew Jackson, under whom both his father and
grandfather served in the War of 1812.1 His father died between 1820 and 1825, and
his mother married William Gore in 1827. The family left East Feliciana Parish before
1830. Samuel Jackson eventually settled in Ascension Parish, and is listed there in
the 1850 census, with a family, his occupation being that of a farmer.2
He married very young, being about 20 years of age. His first wife was Susan —
(b. 1820, La.) , who died, apparently, shortly after the 1850 census was taken.
He married second, in 1852, Minerva Mabias3 (b. 1825, La.).4

AG V IRA GREEN D'ARMOND (1825-1899), East Baton Rouge Parish, La.
Ira Green DArmond, son of John DeArmond and Sarah Yarbrough, was born in
East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, in 1825. He continued to make his home in East
Feliciana Parish until after his marriage.1 Apparently, his permanent home was near
Indian Mound, East Baton Rouge Parish, near the St. Helena Parish line. He is
listed, variously, in the East Feliciana, St. Helena,2 and East Baton Rouge Parishes,
no doubt due to the nearness of his home to all three parishes. He died July 3, 1899, in
East Baton Rouge Parish.8

Legend has it that Elias' cousin, John, was busy operating a sawmill and sent Elias
to see his girl. Instead of pleading John's cause, Elias talked for himself, and later
married the girl.1 At any rate, Elias married at the age of 39, on February 24, 1874,
Caroline Love (b. 1850, Blount County, Tenn.; d. July 2, 1926; g. Grants Pass, Oregon),
daughter of Simpson Love. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. Thomas E. Turner.*
Elias and his brother, John Hamilton, later left Blount County, and settled in

AG VI THOMAS HENRY D'ARMOND (1837-1920), Johnson City, Tenn.
Thomas Henry D'Armond, son and eldest child of Samuel Jackson D'Armond,
senior, and Grizza Blackburn DeArmond, was born in Roane County, Tennessee,
March 19, 1837. He grew to manhood on his father's farm, and was educated in Roane
Countv. In 1858, his father re-married, and legend has it that Thomas Henry did not
approve, and went to Clinton, Louisiana, where he made his home with his uncle,
James Gideon D'Armond, senior, and worked in his uncle's mercantile establishment.
He was 24 years old at the outbreak of the Civil War, and immediately joined the
Hunter Rifles, a volunteer company, it being the first company to enlist in the Con-
federate cause, date of his enlistment being April 30, 1861. He was later transferred
to 4th Regiment, Louisiana Infantry. He rose rapidly from the rank of private to
sergeant and lieutenant.1 He participated in the Battle of Shiloh, the First and Second
Campaigns in Mississippi, and the Battle of Atlanta. He was captured at the Battle of
Nashville, December 15, 1864, by the Union forces, and imprisoned at Johnson Island,
Ohio, until the end of the war.2
He returned to Louisiana, and married in the latter part of 1865. He entered the
mercantile business at Clinton, in competition with his uncle, James Gideon D'Armond,
and his cousin, Thomas S. Franklin D'Armond.3
After the death of his son, Frank Dixon, in 1890, he moved to Johnson City, Ten-
nessee, accompanied by his wife and daughters, Sallie Lucille, Mary Lillian, and Juanita.
After his wife's death in 1893, Mary Lillian returned to Louisiana, and made her home
with her sister, Janie Blackburn (Adler) , until her marriage.
He was an inspector for the State of Tennessee, from 1915 to 1920.4 He died Jan-
uary 3, 1920, and is buried in Oak Hill cemetery, Johnson City/
He married on November 30, 1865, in Amite County, Mississippi,6 Sarah (Sallie)

AG VI JAMES GIDEON D'ARMOND (1858-1945), Harriman, Tennessee
James Gideon D'Armond, son of Samuel Jackson D'Armond and Margaret Ann
Yost, was born at Kingston, Tennessee, December 18, 1858. He was educated in Roane
County, being enrolled at Rittenhouse Academy in his early 'teens.1 He grew to man-
hood, meanwhile learning the general merchandising business under the tutelage of
his father. He entered his father's business where he remaind several years, afterwards
operating his own business.2 He eventually became a mortician, and operated a funeral
home at Kingston for several years before removing to Harriman which was a rapidly
growing town. In 1906, he began operating the D'Armond Funeral Home, which he
conducted actively for 37 years before being forced into retirement because of his
advanced age. During this period he was the leading mortician at Harriman.
In addition to the successful operation of his business, our subject was very civic
minded, and served his city throughout his life in a public capacity. He served on the
city school board for two terms, and was three times elected mayor over a period of
14 years.3 He was instrumental in the building of two school buildings and a hospital
during his periods of office.
He was a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason, a past master of the Blue Lodge, a past
high priest of the chapter, a past commander of the commandery, and was active in the
council during its existence. In 1945, he was awarded a fifty-year certificate at a special
meeting of the Blue Lodge. At one time, he was also active in the Odd Fellows, Junior
Order, and Knights of Pythias. He was a lifelong Presbyterian, and highly revered for
his Christian character, his leadership, and was known affectionately to his many friends
as "Uncle Jimmy".4
He died at his daughter's home in Harriman, October 30, 1945, after an illness of
three months. Interment was in Harriman cemetery.
He married, January 1, 1902, Cleveland, Tennessee, Sarah Lucky Gaut5 (b. Feb.
1, 1868; d. Dec. 28, 1938), daughter of Judge Jesse Hamilton Gaut (1824-1905) and
Ella Lucky (1836-1918). Both her parents were descended from distinguished families.

from the D'Armond home on Clinton Street at 2 p.m., Rev. W. F. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church will officiate, assisted by Rev. H. E. Weaver, pastor of the Christian Church. Burial will
follow in the Harriman cemetery with Schubert Funeral Home of Wartburg in charge. "Uncle
Jimmy", as he was affectionately known to his wide circle of friends, was a native of Kingston. For
several years he was in the mercantile business with his father, Sam D'Armond, and later operated
a funeral home there a few years before coming to Harriman in 1906 and opening the D'Armond
Funeral Home. In 1943, advanced age forced his retirement after 37 years successful operation of
the concern.
Though actively engaged in business, Mr. D'Armond found time to contribute much to the civic
advancement of his town. He served two terms on the city school board, 1913-1919 and 1919-1925
and three terms as mayor, being elected for the regular two-year term in 1925, 1933, and 1939.
During his periods of service, two school buildings and the hospital were erected.
He was a veteran member of all Masonic bodies in Harriman, and was awarded a 50-year Certificate
at a special meeting on January 5, this year. Mr. D'Armond was a past master of the "Blue" Lodge,
a past high priest of the chapter, a past commander of the commandery, was active in the council
during its existence and was a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason. At one time he was also active in
the Odd Fellows, the Junior Order and the Knights of Pythias.
His religious affiliation was with the Presbyterian church, having been an active member while in
Kingston and later moving his membership here. Mr. D'Armond was married to Sarah Lucky Gaut
in Cleveland (Tenn.) in 1902. She preceded him in death in 1938. A son, Cornelius D'Armond,
passed away in 1940. Besides his daughter are two grandchildren, Sarah Barbara, and James Clark
Williams, and two nephews, D.E. D'Armond, Sr. (b. 1897; d. April 29, 1974) and O.D. French."

"Cornelius H. D'Armond, son of former Mayor J. G. D'Armond and in active charge of D'Armond
Funeral Home, passed away at Harriman City hospital Friday afternoon at 2:25, the result of injuries
he received a few days previously. He received a fractured skull when he fell while talking to his
father at the funeral home Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock. He was kept under observation at the
hospital and underwent an operation Monday night but was unable to recover. Cornelius was born
in Kingston, December 23, 1904, and came to Harriman with his family about two years later. He
attended the Harriman city schools until ill health forced him to discontinue his studies in his
sophomore year. He later attended Gupton & Jones School of Embalming in Nashville and since
that time has been connected with his father in the undertaking business. For the past four years,
he has been in active charge. Surviving are his father; one sister, Mrs. Margaret Eleanor Williams;
and three aunts, Mrs. Hugh Knox and Miss Jessie Gaut of Cleveland, and Mrs. Oscar Marshall, of
Miami, Fla. His mother, Mrs. Sarah Lucky D'Armond, passed away December 28, 1938. Funeral
services were held from the home Sunday afternoon at 2:30 with Rev. Chas. T. Gray, pastor of the
Central Methodist church, officiating. Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Mrs. Raymond
Weithers, Mrs. Frank Faris, Joe Goddard and Rev. Gray, with Mrs. F. A. Neergaard at the organ.
Pallbearers were F. T. Sanders, Ed Thornton, O. D. French, Lon Thompson, L. P. Geasiand, Jr.,
and David Clemons. Burial was in Harriman cemetery with Schubert's of Wartburg in charge."
AG VI SAMUEL JACKSON D'ARMOND, Jr. (1867-1904), Kingston, Tenn.
Samuel Jackson D'Armond, Jr., son of Samuel Jackson D'Armond, Sr., and Margaret
Ann Yost, was born, March 17, 1867, at Kingston, Tennessee. He grew up and obtained
his education there. He entered his father's mercantile business but after his father's
death in 1897, the business was continued by our subject's brother, James Gideon;
Samuel Jackson, Jr. went into business for himself at another location. He owned
considerable property including a river farm, either inherited from his father or accu-
mulated through his own efforts.
His life was brought to a sudden and tragic end at the age of 37. He was shot to
death in front of the court house in Kingston on the evening of September 26, 1904,
by William A. Forrester. According to newspaper accounts, his violent death was the
result of a brief and sudden quarrel between him and Forrester. They were supposedly
friends although this is difficult to believe since our subject was one of the most promi-
nent and successful men in Kingston and Roane County, and Forrester was an ex-
saloon keeper and a pool hall operator.1
He married Anna Rose (d. July 13, 1904), daughter of Washington B. Ro-e and
Emma Taliaferro (b. 1847) .

night about 8:30 o'clock by W. A. Forrester, formerly of Knoxville. Forrester surrendered to the
sheriff this morning and claims he killed DeArmond in self defense. The shooting occurred in front
of the court house, and Forrester used a shotgun ... he probably died instantly. According to
Forrester's statement, the men met yesterday morning and had some bitteer words. He says each
threatened the other. DeArmond secured a pistol and Forrester a shotgun. When they met again
last night, Forrester claims it was a case of which could shoot first, and thus he asserts he killed
DeArmond in self-defense. Forrester is under guard, and will be given a preliminary hearing late
this afternoon or tomorrow. Until liquor was voted out of Kingston, Forrester operated a saloon here.
He is now conducting a pool room and soft drink establishment. He came here from Knoxville,
where he had a saloon. Samuel DeArmond was one of the most prominent men of this town and
county. He was a man of wealth, being rated at about $25,000. It was thought that he and Forrester
were good friends. The dead man was buried this afternoon."
Chattanooga, Tennessee, News, Sept. 27, 1904. "Kingston, Sept. 27: Sam DeArmond, a prominent
citi/en of this place, and who belongs to one of the best families in the entire county, was shot
and killed last night about nine o'clock near the courthouse . . . He was about 35 years of age and
was a widower, his wife having died less than three months ago. He was worth perhaps between
$15,000 and $20,000 and had an income from a Tennessee river farm in this county."
AG VI THOMAS S. FRANKLIN ("Frank") D'ARMOND (1843-1899), Clinton, La.
Thomas S. Franklin D'Armond, son of James Gideon D'Armond, senior, and Matilda
DeArmond, was born at Camden, Arkansas, July 23, 1843, while his father was operat-
ing a mercantile business there. He was known throughout his life as "Frank" and
rarely used his full name. After the death of his mother in 1845, Frank and his sister
lived at their grandfather's (Thomas Flenniken D'Armond) home in East Feliciana
Parish, Louisiana. His father re-married in 1849 but it is doubtful that Frank or his
sister ever returned to Arkansas, but quite likely remained at their grandfather's home
until their father returned permanently to Clinton, and went into the mercantile
business. He attended school at Clinon, and college at Bowling Green, Kentucky.1
He was only 18 years old at the outbreak of the Civil War but enlisted at Camp
Moore. Louisiana, October 1, 1861, in the Hunter Rifles. He participated in the Battles
of Peachtree Creek, Shiloh and Baton Rouge. He was one of the few who assisted
Captain George H. Packwood to pull the heavy guns up Kennesaw Mountain as the
Confederate forces slowly and bitterly yielded before Atlanta.2 He was wounded July
28, 1864, in the Battle of Atlanta, and apparently was returned home to convalesce.
He was captured at Clinton, Louisiana, November 16, 1864, and confined in military
prison at New Orleans, November 23, 1864. He was later transferred to Ship Island on
December 10, 1864,3 and released after the end of the war.
Afterwards, he entered business with his father for a time, and later went into busi-
ness alone at another location in town.4 He later formed a partnership with R. L.
Shelton, and was the senior partner in the business until his death.
He was an honorable and industrious citizen, a devoted husband and parent, and
a faithful and dependable friend. He died July 10, 1899, and is buried in Clinton
cemetery.
He married first, December 16, 1869, at Clinton, Louisiana, Mar)' H. Gurney,5 who
died December 16, 1874.
He married second, December 15, 1884, at Clinton, Louisiana, Florence Rhea (b.

"In Clinton, La., Monday, July 10, 1899, Frank D'Armond, aged 55 years, 11 months and 14 days.
Interment in Clinton cemetery Tuesday, July 11, 1899, at 4:30 p.m. The deceased was a native of
Arkansas, having been born in that State in 1844. When quite small his parents moved to this place,
where his father, Mr. J. G. D'Armond, became engaged in mercantile pursuits. Mr. Frank D'Armond
was in business with his father for a time, and afterwards in his own name. In 1898 he formed
a partnership with Mr. R. L. Shelton, and up to the time of his untimely death, was the senior
partner of the firm. He was honorable, upright and liberal in his business relations, and enjoyed
the esteem and respect of everyone. In 1860, at the braking out of the Civil War, he enlisted in
the Hunter Rifles, and from that time until the close of the terrible struggle he fought for our
noble cause. He was in many battles, notably those of Peachtree Creek, Shiloh and Baton Rouge. At
Kennesaw Mountain he was one of the brave few who assisted our heroic Capt. George H. Packwood
to pull the heavy guns up the mountain. He was wounded before Atlanta, being shot through the
side. His war record is unapproachable— he was earnest and zealous, and was never known to shirk
a duty or desert a friend. He was an honored member of S. E. Hunter Camp No. 1185, U.C.V.,
among whose members are many of his old comrades who mourn his death as that of a dear brother,
and a true friend. In December 1884, he was married to Miss Florence Rhea. During their union
five children were born, all of whom survive him. Their home life was an ideal one. He loved
his home and family, and was ever indulgent, kind and affectionate. Now that he is gone the anguish
of the bereaved wife and fatherless children must be terrible indeed, and we pray that God who
"tempers the wind to the shorn lamb" will spread over them the mantle of His everlasting love,
and will heal their broken hearts. The funeral service took place at 4:30 o'clock at the family
residence on Bank Street, and were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Gresham of Baton Rouge. The
interment was under the auspices of Olive Lodge No. 52, F. and A.M., of which body he was an
honored member. The remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of people who
gathered from far and near to pay this last sad tribute to his memory. To the bereaved family the
WATCHMAN extends heartfelt sympathy."

AG VI ELIZABETH D'ARMOND (1851-1929), Lake Charles, La.
Elizabeth D'Armond, daughter of James Gideon D'Armond, senior, and Susan Ann
DeArmond, was born at Camden, Arkansas, October 5, 1851. Her father continued
in business there for several years after her birth but established a home at Clinton,
Louisiana, for his family before 1854. The home was on Bank Street near the Presby-
terian church.
When a very little girl, Elizabeth's mother and aunt, Eliza Jane DeArmond (Fluker) ,
paid a visit to their mother's home in Roane County, Tennessee, taking Elizabeth and
her half-sister, Susan Julia Mathilda, with them. Elizabeth found her grandmother.
90 DeARMOND FAMILIES
Susan Shadden DeArmond, to be a small but very dignified lady who dressed beauti-
fully, wore lace caps and played the harpsichord. She ruled her large family with a
firm and capable hand, but found time to entertain her guests so royally that the little
girl never forgot her trip by train to Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain, where all
too soon such violent and bloody battles were to be fought. She returned to her Lou-
isiana home with cherished memories of a gracious home, wooded mountains and
valleys, and coal mines, so different from her own home land.
She grew to womanhood surrounded with luxury and comfort. She graduated with
honors from Silliman Collegiate Institute of Clinton, a noted Presbyterian school for
young girls, which attracted for many years many students from surrounding states.
Elizabeth was an excellent musician, a person of unusual gifts and charm, and greatly
beloved by those who knew her. She was a faithful Baptist from girlhood and active
throughout her life in the work of her church and community affairs.
She was married in the Presbyterian church at Clinton by a Baptist minister, No-
vember 17, 1870,1 to Dr. William Alfred Knapp (b. June 24, 1846, New Orleans, La.;
d. Nov. 24, 1910, Lake Charles, La.; g. Lake Charles) , son of Daniel Knapp and Frances
Rose Piroth. Her husband's parents were married in Paris, France, and came direct
from there to New Orleans. Dr. Knapp served in the Civil War from 1861 through
1864, first with Ogden's Battalion, Cavalry of Baton Rouge, being later transferred to
the Hospital Corps, Clinton, La., where he served under Drs. Thos. Buffington and
J. Williams Jones. He was a dentist, druggist and chemist, and practiced his profession
first at Clinton, but early in married life removed to Lake Charles where he continued
his profession until his death.
Elizabeth survived her husband by 18 years, but continued to make her home at
Lake Charles. She died, January 31, 1929, and is buried at Lake Charles.

naturalized, adopted the English translation of his name. The family name was originally "Hammar
[hammer]" but several generations ago, during one of the Swedish wars, one Oberst Leutnant Johan
Hammar was cited for valor in battle, the citation including the statement "you have served like
steel [stahl]. Henceforth the name shall be 'Stahlhammar' ". A mention of this incident still

her education from Silliman's institute there, as it was located next door to her father's
home.
At the age of 20, she fell in love with a young merchant of Clinton, but her father
frowned on the affair because the boy was a member of the Jewish faith. One morning
early, he rode up to her home on horseback, leading a saddled horse. Janie came out
costumed in a riding habit, and they rode off, ostensibly for an early morning canter.
They rode over to the next parish, and were married.
Janie married, August 23, 1887, Amite, Louisiana, Eugene Adler (b. Nov. 21, 1860,
Clinton, La., d. June 17, 1924, Baton Rouge, La.), son of Solomon Adler and Celeste
Levy. He was a farmer's supply merchant, and continued in business at Clinton until
1912, when the boll weevel ruined cotton production, and farmers and merchants alike
were broke. He moved to Meridian, Mississippi, and purchased a business there, but
disliked the town and business both so intensely that he sold out his business within
three months and returned to Clinton for the summer. He then moved to Baton Rouge,
and entered the cigar business. He was a devoted husband and affectionate father, and
gave his children every advantage.

AG n JOHN DERMOND (cl738-1809), Knox County, Tennessee
John Dermond, son of James d'Armond and Mary Johnston,1 was born on his
father's farm in West Hanover township, near Monadahill, Lancaster (later Dauphin)
County, Pennsylvania, about 1738. He may have been named for his mother's brother,
John Johnston, of Pennsylvania. His father died in 1748, and John and his two brothers
and two sisters were reared by his mother on the home place. His father's will be-
queathed to John the place which his father had purchased from Mary McNeely, and
the home place to his youngest brother, Richard. The will also appointed Reverend
Richard Sankey (q.v.) , who was pastor of the old West Hanover Presbyterian Church
from August 31, 1737, to June 6, 1759, as guardian for James' children.1 No record has
been found of the disposition of the property willed to John at his father's death but
undoubtedly a cash settlement was paid to him when the property was sold. In 1780,
his mother died in Hanover township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and in her will
instructed her son, Richard, to pay to her son, John, the sum of "100 pounds current
Money of the State of Pennsylvania".8 This represented John's share of his mother's
estate, apart from what he had received under his father's will.
After his marriage and about 1760, John and Thomas, in company with his wife's
family, migrated to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and settled on McMichaels
Creek, where both John and Thomas bought extensive land holdings.* Whether this
move was influenced by the removal of Reverend Sankey to Virginia or the insecurity
of the settlers in Pennsylvania due to the recurring attacks by the Indians, we do not
know. It is inconceivable that John and his brother would have left Pennsylvania be-
cause of the Indian raids and have left their mother there with only their younger
brother for her protection. Many settlers were moving away from the Pennsylvania
settlements, due in part to the migratory habits of all the early American settlers who
were pushing out steadily into the wilderness seeking more and better land. John Cald-
well, who had emigrated from North Ireland to Pennsylvania, made exploratory trips
into Virginia and the Carolinas seeking out greater land areas for the relatively crowded
settlements in Pennsylvania. His reports of generous land grants, fertile soil, mild
climate, and a firmer control of the Indians who themselves were not as warlike as the
Pennsylvania tribes, led many Pennsylvania families to leave their homes and settle
in Virginia and North Carolina. It is entirely possible that John and his older brother,
Thomas, made their decision to move southward while the family was temporarily
dispossessed by the Indian massacres of 1756 and their mother refusing to abandon her
Pennsylvania home, remained behind in Pennsylvania. John made his home in Meck-
lenburg County for the next 25 years and there most of his children were born.
From 1781 through 1784, John served with the North Carolina militia, being then
about 45 years old. For this service he received pay by military vouchers.' No record
has been located of his activities but it could not have been of a minor nature since
his land award was equal to that of his wife's brother, Samuel Flenniken (q.v.) , whose
career was an illustrious one.
On February 15, 1784, he was awarded a warrant for 500 acres of land "in our
county of Green on the south of Holston", now known as Topside community of Knox
County, Tennessee.7 This grant was superseded by a Tennessee land grant issued after
the Tennessee Assembly ruled that these Carolina grants were void. This grant lay
along the shores of Holston (now Tennessee) River, just above the mouth of Little
River, and was bisected through the middle by Knob Creek which empties into the
Tennessee River. In 1785 or 1786, John sold his holdings in North Carolina and
migrated to East Tennessee, coming down the French Broad River in flatboats, and
settled on this land," accompanied by his wife and children, and three of the sons of his

brother, Thomas. He was the first settler in what later became Knox County, Ten-
nessee.16 He built a cabin and a tubmill, near Colonel Churchwell's ferry across the
Tennessee River, which was so greatly in demand that it was several years before he
could install runners of good stone.8 A study of John's will and the will of his son,
John, indicates that the mill was located on Knob Creek near its mouth. He became a
successful farmer, and being the first settler, a prominent member of the community.
He took no part in the political life of the county but devoted himself to the operation
of his mill, the clearing and developing of his farm, and the acquisition of additional
lands. One historian has referred to him as Knox Couny's "first industrialist".
In 1787, John signed a petition made by the inhabitants of the "Western Country"
to the North Carolina Legislature praying for representation. This extant document
contains the only existing example of John's signature.17
He appeared in the Knox County Tax Lists for 1806 and 1807 as the owner of 400
acres of land, and in the 1808 list with 421 acres, and in the 1809 list with 426 acres.1*
His original log home is still standing, having been twice moved to other locations by
later owners. It stands today on the original farm not far from its original site, now
owned by the heirs of Squire R. E. Masterson, Masterson Road, Knox County. The
home of Squire Masterson stands on the original site.
He died at his home in Knox County, in July 1809, his will being probated at the
July 1809 Term of Court.0 His grave is in the family burial plot, located on a hillside
on the Masterson farm.
He married in Pennsylvania, about 1760, Esther Flenniken (b. Jan. 12, 1740; d.
after April, 182210) , daughter of James Flenniken (q-v.) and Jane Gillespie. His
brother, Thomas, married her sister, Mary.2

AG HI JOHN DEARMOND II (1761-1834), Knox County, Tennessee
John Dearmond II, better known in later life as 'John Dearmond, Senior', son of
John Dearmond I, and Esther Flenniken, was born in 1761" either in Dauphin County,
Pennsylvania, or in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, after his parents had settled
there. He served with the North Carolina militia in 1784, for which he received de-
preciation pay.1 Sometime after 1784, he came with his father to East Tennessee and
settled south of the Tennessee River in what is known today as Topside Community,
Knox County. At first, apparently, he lived on his father's grant.
On February 2, 1805, he purchased a tract of land from Stockley Donelson which
had been granted to Landon Carter by the State of North Carolina by patent number
1255, July 12, 1794, and which was located on "southside of Holston (now Tennessee)
River."2 The deed was issued to "John Dearmond Sr. of Blount County" although
all court records which affected him throughout his life were recorded in Knox County.
On June 9, 1809, he secured a land grant from the State of Tennessee for 4221/2 acres
of land in Knox County, within the limits of the tract located for the use of academies
on the Holston River.3 He is found in the 1806 tax lists for Knox County with 376
acres; in 1807 and 1808 with 367 acres; is not listed in 1809 and 1810, indicating that
he may have sold not only his own holdings but also his share of his father's estate which
was bequeathed to him at his father's death in 1809. In 1811 and 1812, he was taxed
with the land which he had secured through the Tennessee land grant in 1809. It may
be assumed that he purchased this grant with proceeds of the sale of his former hold-
ings.14
He was a fanner, so far as is known, and also engaged in buying and selling of farm
land.4 He held a prominent place in Knox County life since so many of his family
events were recorded in the newspapers of that day. He died April 13, 1834, but his
burial place in unknown.6 He, his wife, and daughter, Ellen, were members of the
Second Presbyterian Church which was organized in 1818.
He married first, about 1780 in North Carolina, but there is no record extant of
this marriage or his first wife's name.

AG III JAMES DEARMOND (1771-1831), Roane County, Tennessee
James Dearmond, son of John Dearmond and Esther Flenniken, was born July 3,
1771, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. He was named for his grandfather,
James d'Armond, of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He came, while still a youth,
to Knox County, Tennessee, with his parents, and lived on his father's grant south of
the Tennessee River, in what is known today as Topside community. Early in his
manhood, he joined with the pioneer settlers who accepted the job of resisting the
Indian raids, and pushing them back from the encroaching white settlements. He was
active in many skirmishes and engagements, and his personal courage and intrepidity
was a telling factor wherever he appeared.
Breazeale recounts that in August 1794, Lieutenant (afterwards, Colonel) John
McClellan was ordered to march toward the Cumberland Mountains to meet Captain
Evans at Crab Orchard. On arrival at Crab Orchard, he found a letter from his captain
stuck up on a pole set up in the road, directing him to return. They turned about,
retraced their steps about a mile and a half to the foot of Spencer's Hill, where they
encamped for the night. It had been raining all day and they commenced building
fires without taking the precaution to draw the wet charges from their guns and re-load.
Without receiving any warning, they found themselves suddenly surrounded by Indians,
and cut off from most of their horses. General confusion of course ensued; McClellan,
however, rallied his men as well as circumstances would allow, and they fought as they
retreated, with the utmost valor and intrepidity, but many of them could not get their
pieces to fire at all. Some of the men whose guns would not fire ran along the line
priming for the others, when their guns happened to mis-fire. The Indians were twice
repulsed, but they again rallied, and so far outnumbering the whites (there being about
100 Indians) , MeClellan was finally compelled to make a precipitate retreat up the
mountain. Most of the men lost their horses and baggage; Lieutenant McClellan lost
his. James Dearmond ran to his horse, cut the spancel from his legs, and mounted him
barebacked, the halter being upon him. As he mounted, an Indian threw a tomahawk
at him which grazed his head, but he escaped unhurt. He then followed his retreating
companions up the mountain, and on overtaking them, McClellan halted and bawled
out to his men, "Boys, make your escape— I can go no further— I am done— but pay no
attention to me— take care of yourselves". Dearmond, hearing this, sprang from his
horse and threw McClellan on him, exclaiming, "Now, lieutenant, make your escape;
there is not a damned Indian in all the nation that can catch me." And McClellan did
escape and so did Dearmond. McClellan lost four men killed and one was wounded.
122 DeARMOND FAMILIES
The loss of the Indians was fifteen or twenty; they were seen to fall under the fire of
McClellan's men.1 James also served with Captain Houston's Company in 1808.
His father obtained North Carolina Grant number 635, dated August 23, 1788, for
a tract of land in Roane County. James settled on this grant and developed it into a
home for himself and family. On April 12, 1809, shortly before his father's death, his
father deeded this tract of land to James,8 and it has remained in the family for over
a hundred years. It was located on Little Emory River where it flows through a gap
in Waldens Ridge. The Southern Railway eventually built its main line from Harriman
to Knoxville by this site, and later constructed a branch line through the gap to the
coal fields at Petros. This railroad junction point was designated as DeArmond Station.
James was undoubtedly one of the first settlers in that section, and served on the first
jury of Roane County in 1801.
He died at his home on March 1, 1831, and is buried in DeArmond Graveyard on
Little Emory River, near Harriman. The finest tribute to his life is contained in his
obituary, which reads: "Died at his residence in Roane County on the third instant,
James Dearmond, aged upwards of 60 years. He was an ardent friend, a firm and
unyielding Republican,2 and a devoted patriot, of which he gave many proofs through
the whole course of life but especially in the war which the Cherokees waged upon the
first settlers of this country. In those perilous times when the helpless female and tender
infant had no shield to defend them from savage barbarity save the bosom of the
soldier, the deceased was one of their most bold and intrepid defenders. He accom-
panied the celebrated Governor Sevier in nearly all his campaigns against the Indians,
frequently acted as spy, and was always exposed to imminent danger, in consequence
of which he became almost proverbial for his personal activity and bravery. And his
last efforts in defense of his country were in the late war with the Creek Indians, where
he also distinguished himself. He has left a large family, most of whom are females,
together with many relatives and friends to mourn their hapless lot."3
He married, March 16, 1802, Susan Shaden (b. Sept. 1, 1786, in Va.; d. Feb. 18,
1869, Roane County, Tenn.) 1B She was a small, gracious and energetic woman who
ruled her family with a firm hand. She played the harpsichord and must have been
a beautiful woman in her youth, since her daughters were famous for their beauty.

AG III DAVID FLENNIKEN DEARMOND, Sr. (1775-1834), East Feliciana Parish, La.
David Flenniken Dearmond, Sr., son of John Dearmond of Knox County, Tennessee,
and Esther Flenniken, was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, about 1775,
and was named for his mother's brother, David Flenniken, one of the signers of the
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. He was brought to East Tennessee by his
parents soon after 1784, and grew to manhood on his father's grant in what is known
today as Topside Community, Knox County. He left Knox County about 1802 in
company with his cousin, Samuel Dearmond, and another cousin, Joseph F. Flenniken.
They followed the Natchez Trace to Mississippi Territory,1 and about 1803, moved into
Louisiana which was then a part of West Florida, a Spanish possession.2 He and his
cousin, Samuel Dearmond, undoubtedly staked out their possessions about the same
time, although they were some several miles distant from each other. His plantation,
bisected by Sandy Creek and north of the plantation later held by his cousin, Thomas
Flenniken D'Armond, was only slightly smaller than Samuel's plantation, and con-
sisted of 639.90 acres. It was about 3 miles east of Clinton, in East Feliciana Parish,
and near what is known today as D'Armond Hill.3
He was a successful planter and slave owner, and held his plantation intact until
his death when it was divided between his widow and his children.5 He reared a large
family,6 all of whom survived him but his son, James. He died in 1834, after January,
sinc&he made a conveyance to his son, David, Jr.. on January 29, 1834.'
He married Elizabeth Mc — (b. 1776, S. C.) .s She survived her husband by many
years,' and was still listed as a woman of means as late as 1850. She maintained her
home since some of her children were still minors10 and operated the plantation with the
help of her sons.11 The date of her death has not been established.

AG III WILLIAM DEARMOND (cl775-bl830), Meigs County, Tennessee
William Dearmond, son of John Dearmond of Knox County, Tennessee, and Esther
Flenniken, was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, about 1775. He was
brought to Knox County, Tennessee, by his parents between 1784 and 1787, and helped
his father and brothers carve a home from the wilderness on his father's grant, located
at the confluence of the Tennessee and Little rivers, now Topside Community.
He married in 1805 and built a home near his father's home. He is listed in the
Knox County, Tennessee, tax lists for 1806 and 1807, with 13 acres of land and one
white poll; in the 1808 and 1809 lists, he appears without land and taxed only for
one white poll. In 1810, he was taxed with \7Sy2 acres, apparently his inheritance
under his father's will which was probated in 1809. In 1811, he was listed with 113i/£
acres, and in 1812, with 100 acres."
At his father's death in 1809, he was named as one of the executors in his father's
will, and was qualified in July, 1809.2 On December 19, 1809, he sold to his brother,
Richard Johnston Dearmond, 45 acres of land, from his portion of his father's estate.
On January 4, 1811, he sold 49i/2 acres of his land to John Jordan. On Feb. 24, 1812,
he sold to Reuben Tipton, 19 acres of land "which he inherited from Estate of John
Dearmond, deceased".3 These sales totaled 113i/£ acres, and likely constituted the
entire land holdings William had received from his father's estate. On July 4, 1810,
a suit against him by Solomon Geron was dismissed by Court, and he was authorized
to recover against plaintiff for his court costs.4
After the War of 1812, Richard Waterhouse engaged in extensive land speculations
in the Tennessee River valley in Rhea County. Since William and Waterhouse were
friends, it appears certain that he was influenced by Waterhouse to move to Rhea
County. William's grandson, John Boss DeArmond, told the author that his grand-
father came down the Tennessee River in flat-boats, and settled first in what is now
Rhea County, and later settled across the river in what is now Meigs County. The first
census listings show William's wife, Mary, as the head of the family in 1830, indicating
that William was by then deceased.8
William married, March 6, 1805, Knox County, Tennessee,1 Polly Wandless (b.
1775; d. al840, Meigs County, Tenn.) . Mary was listed as the head of the household
in the 1830 census for Meigs County,5 and in the 1840 census for Meigs County, she
128 DeARMOND FAMILIES
was listed as living with her son, John.6 Since she is not found in the 1850 census, she
must have died after 1840.

AG III RICHARD JOHNSTON DEARMOND (1778-1863), Knox County, Tennessee
Richard Johnston Dearmond,1 son of John Dearmond and Esther Flenniken, was
born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in 1778.2 He was brought by his parents
to Knox County, Tennessee, as a small boy, between 1784 and 1787. One wonders how
and where he was able to obtain his education in that virgin forested country, for he,
his father and his brothers must have been fully occupied from dawn till dark with the
task of building a log home, clearing the forests in order to grow necessary food, and
the construction of the tubmill which his father built and placed in operation not
later than 1787.s
Being the youngest son, Richard remained at home after his brothers had moved
out to set up their own homes. He married about 1805 and was shown in the tax lists as
living apart from his parents until his father's death. He was listed in 1806 as Richard
J. Dearmond with one white poll but no land, and did not appear in the 1807 list.
He was listed in the 1808 and 1809 tax lists with one white poll. He appeared in the
1810, 1811, and 1812 lists as Richard Dearmond, with 219 acres of land, evidently his
inheritance under the will of his father who died in 1809." Since his "house" is men-
tioned in his father's will, apparently it was built on a part of his father's land. Under
his father's will, Richard inherited a substantial portion of his father's 500 acres located
between the Tennessee and Little rivers, now Topside Community, including the large
family log home.* This site is owned today by the Masterson family descendants by
virtue of their inheritance from Richard's second wife, Lucy Ritchie (Masterson) .
After his first wife's death, Richard attempted to maintain his home alone. There
is a family legend that Richard would swim the Tennessee River on his way to market
at Knoxville, tying his clothes on his back to keep them dry. The children, perforce,
were left to their own devices, and they would play on the bank of the river, the older
children swimming out to what is now known as Williams Island, leaving the younger
ones playing on the sand at the water's edge, never seeming to fear that they might fall
in the river and drown. On one occasion, a neighbor came by and found the baby,
LINE A-2-DESCENDANTS OF JOHN DERMOND
129
Eliza, asleep on the bank, and the other children on the island hunting for turtle eggs.
Upon being apprised of their conduct by the neighbor, Richard meted out punishment
which remained vivid in their memories throughout their lives.7
He died in 1863 at the age of 85, and is probably buried in the family graveyard
located on the old home place along with his first wife, although no headstones can be
identified today other than as grave markers. He bequeathed the home to his second
wife, Lucy, a gift of money to his daughter, Vandalie, and to his wife's grandson,
Richard Masterson, of whom he was very fond; and the remainder of his estate to the
children of his first marriage.8
He married first, about 1805, Rhoda Hence (or Hinch) , of whom nothing is known
except her name.5 She died in 1818, either at the birth of her daughter, Eliza, or
shortly thereafter, and is undoubtedly buried in the family graveyard on the home place.
He married second, Lucy Ritchie (Masterson) , a widow, (b. 1788, Va.)2 whom he
had brought into his home to be housekeeper for his children.

AG IV JOHN DeARMOND III (1780-1856), McMinn County, Tennessee
John DeArmond III, better known as John DeArmond, Jr., son of John DeArmond
II, was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, about 1780, before his father and
grandfather had settled in East Tennessee.1 He came to Knox County, Tennessee, with
his parents as a small boy, after 1784, and grew to manhood on his grandfather's farm.
In January 1804, he was appointed a member of a jury of view to mark a public
road from Thos. Rhea's old place, which was to cross the road at Calvin Johnson's
place.11 On June 26, 1810, he secured a land grant from the State of Tennessee for
466 acres of land in Knox County "located within the tract located for the use of
Academies in the District south of the French Broad and Holston rivers, on Holston
River".3 He was taxed in Knox County in 1812 with 1 poll, no land.10 On August 1,
1825, he took title to 6 acres adjoining and above his land grant.4 On January 5, 1834,
he conveyed to G. W. Churchwell, all interest and title in estate of his father "John
Dearmond of Blount County",5 although his father did not die until three months after
the contract was made.
Prior to 1830, he moved to McMinn County, Tennessee, where he spent the re-
mainder of his life.1- 2 These southern counties of East Tennessee were being gradually
cleared of Indians, and young men from the older Knox County settlements were rapidly
moving in and taking possession of the uncleared virgin land. He died in McMinn

DeARMOND FAMILIES
AG IV JOHN DeARMOND (1808-1896), Roane County, Tennessee
John DeArmond, son of James Dearmond and Susan Shadden, was born on his
father's farm on Little Emory River, in Roane County, Tennessee, October 30, 1808,
the postoffice which was later established being Webster. He grew to manhood there,
and continued to make it his home after his marriage, making a home for his family
and his spinster sisters, until his death. He became one of the leading citizens of Roane
County; was a pioneer in the development of the coal mining area in his county, and a
promoter and stockholder in the Harriman Coal, Iron & Railway Company, which ran
from Harriman to DeArmond Station; and many other enterprises for the development
of local resources. He dealt extensively in real estate and coal lands; operated a
general merchandising business at Webster near his home for many years. At one time
and certainly in 1872, he was engaged in business as DeArmond & Langley, selling wines
and liquors. He became a man of considerable wealth, and was a great influence in
county progress and politics.
During the Civil War, he operated the coal mines in his area under authorization
of the Union military authorities, and supplied large amounts of coal to the Union
army blacksmith shops. From his merchandising enterprises, he also supplied large
quantities of food to the military. Receipts given by the military for these purchases
are in family documents preserved today.1 He was never paid for any of these supplies,
his action in the United States Court of Claims about 1893 having been denied on
technical grounds, the total as given by him being $3535.91, no interest being computed.
He remained quite active in his business interests until shortly before his death
which occurred at his home, May 21, 1896.2
He married, October 29, 1863, Caledonia Bowers (b. Oct. 8, 1842; d. Nov. II,
1927) , daughter of a Methodist minister; William Ellis, J. P., officiating.8

"Harriman, Tenn., May 24: Col. John DeArmond, Sr. died at his residence four miles northeast of this
city, May 21, and was buried yesterday in the family cemetery in the presence of from 200 to 300
relatives and friends, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. Jas. C. Wright, D. D., of Harri-
man. Col. DeArmond's father was one of the pioneers of this section of country, having settled
here prior to 1780, when Tennessee was a part of North Carolina, and Indians and game of the
larger order were superabundant. The old gentleman was one of the heroes of the great and decisive
Battle of King's Mountain, where so many brave Tennesseans fought the foe. Col. John DeArmond
was born at Little Emory Gap, formerly called DeArmond's Gap, in honor of its first settler, October
30, 1808, Little Emory Gap being within one mile of the beautiful home in which the grand old
man departed this life. He was married to Miss Caledonia Bowers, Oct. 29, 1863. His wife and
eight children, four boys and four girls, ranking among the best people of the county, survive him.
During the war. Col. DeArmond was a true Union man, and was very helpful to the loyal men who went
from East Tennessee to join the federal army, being himself too old for enlistment, but he served
faithfully as a pilot. He has lived all these years in this community, a leader and an honored man,
a farmer, merchant, and trader, and by industry and honesty he acquired a snug fortune to leave
to his children. He was a kind man to the poor and helpful to his neighbors, a man whose business
advice to them was always safe. While not a church member, he expressed himself as satisfied of
his future salvation. A good, useful man has gone to his reward, and the noble old patriarch will be
missed by hosts of people. Harriman Post, G.A.R., held memorial services this evening in the Uni-
versalis! church, and was ably addressed by Rev. J. C. Wright. The post was out en masse, and a
large audience attended. The mission though a sad one, was beautifully impressive, and carried
the old veterans back through memory's vale to days of actual soldiering."
Author's Note: Our subject's father, James Dearmond, did not come to East Tennessee until 1784
or later; his participation in the Battle of King's Mountain is improbable because of his tender age
at that date, and no record of his participation has been found.

AG IV JOHN DeARMOND (1810-1867), Meigs County, Tennessee
John DeArmond, son of William Dearmond and Polly Wandless, was born in Knox
County, Tennessee, in 1810. Later, his father moved down the Tennessee River in
flatboats to what is now Rhea County, and settled on the west bank of the river, but
afterwards settled on the east side of the river in what is now Meigs County.1 Here
John grew to manhood and received what education was available in the area county
schools. He was recorded for land and poll tax in 1827 and 1828.2
He volunteered for service during the Mexican War, 1846-1847, and enlisted in a
company of volunteers from Rhea County, organized by Richard Waterhouse,3 and
was listed as a private. He was also shown in Captain Gillespie's Company, same
district, from Oct. 4, 1846, to June 14, 1847, as a private. He was wounded at the
Battle of Cerro Gordo, in 1847.9 He was listed in the 1840 census as living at home
with his mother and one sister. He appears in the 1850 census as living alone, occupa-
tion, farmer; his mother having died.4 He died Mar. 5, 1867, and an inventory of his
estate was filed for probate, April 13, 1867.5
He married, April 1, 1851, Martha Hunter, daughter of Jacob (?) Hunter.6

AG IV DAVID FLENNIKEN DeARMOND (1807-1890), Knox County, Tennessee
David Flenniken DeArmond, son of Richard Johnston DeArmond and Rhoda
Hence, was born at his father's home in present Topside community, Knox County,
July 17, 1807, where he grew to manhood. His education was not extensive, being
limited to the district schools available in the still primitive country which his grand-
father had pioneered. As soon as he reached manhood, he left his father's home and
began farming in the Seven Island community of Knox County, although the exact
date of his removal there is not known. He was probably influenced in his decision to
settle in that part of the county by the fact that his wife's parents were living in that
area.
136
DeARMOND FAMILIES
He established a large farm on a site overlooking French Broad River and Seven
Islands, which he increased by constant and astute buying until it totaled some 800
acres, much of which was river bottom land. His home on the hill above commanded
one of the finest views in the county, overlooking the mirror-like French Broad River
as it swings around a bend after passing through the shoals at Sevens Island, with the
bluffs on the opposite bank as background. He became postmaster at Gap Creek, which
post he held for more than 30 years. He was also justice of the peace for a number
of years, and was a democrat.3 The Court and trustee records of Knox County are
replete with the recordings of his many activities, giving proof of his industry and
influence in County affairs. He was a constant reader and kept abreast of the history
of his day and of his country. He was anxious that his children enjoy the advantages
of a good education, and willingly defrayed the cost for those of them interested in
pursuing it. He died at his home, at the age of 83, November 9, 1890, and is buried
in Seven Islands cemetery.
He married, October 6, 1831, Sarah B. Hines1 (b. Dec. 28, 1812; d. Sept. 13, 1883),
daughter of Robert and Lavinia Hines.2 She also is buried in Seven Islands cemetery.

grew to manhood. He became a farmer1 and owned a farm in Knox County.2 He
died at the age of 50, June 28, 1859, and is buried in the family graveyard on the home
place, now the Squire Masterson farm, Masterson Road, in Topside community, Knox

AG IV ANGELINE DeARMOND (1813-1847), Cherokee County, Alabama
Angeline DeArmond, daughter of Richard Johnston Dearrnond and Rhoda Hence,
was born May 29, 1813, on the original home place, located on the Tennessee River,
near its confluence with Little River, Knox County, Tennessee. Her mother died when
she was about five years old, and she was reared by her stepmother. According to family
legend, the children were not too happy at home, and all got away as soon as possible.
It is likely that Angeline visited her Uncle James Dearrnond in Roane County, and
this visit may have been an extended affair. At any rate, her future husband was born
in Roane County, and she must have met him there. They encountered considerable
opposition to their marriage in her husband's family as they were strict Presbyterians
and the DeArmond family were too fond of a good time for their taste. It is not clear
whether they eloped in the face of this opposition or not, but since there is no record
of their marriage in either Roane or Knox Counties, it is a logical assumption. She
died Nov. 23, 1847, and is buried in Forest Hill c, Gaylesville, Ala.
She married about 1834, Lorenzo Dow Grifntts (b. Aug. 28, 1809, Roane County,
Tenn.; d. July 18, 1882; g. Forest Hill c, Gaylesville, Ala.), son of Eli Griffitts.1 He
was a Presbyterian minister, and spent most of his adult life in Gaylesville, Alabama.
Angeline died at the age of 34 while the children were very young but there is no
record of who cared for them until they were grown. Angeline's sister, Eliza, came
to live with her soon after Angeline's marriage, and although Eliza married before
Angeline's death, it is possible that she acted as foster mother to Angeline's children.

AG IV ELISA DeARMOND (1818-1898), Cherokee County, Alabama
Elisa DeArmond, daughter of Richard Johnston Dearmond and Rhoda Hence, was
born in 1818. on her father's farm, adjacent to the original home place of her grand-
father, John Dearmond, on the Tennessee River in present Topside community, Knox
County, Tennessee. Her mother died shortly after her birth and she was cared for by
her older sisters until her father remarried. Her sister, Angeline, married about 1834
and settled in Cherokee County, Alabama, and wrote urging Eliza to come and live
with her. Elisa did so, and never returned to her father's home.
She was described by her granddaughter, the author's mother, as a gay, lively woman,
with a dry sharp sense of humor, and little patience with the foibles of old age so
often indulged in by the aged. After the death of her husband in 1886, she lived with
her son, Lorenzo Dow McCalman.1 Her daughter, Talitha, moved to Texas after the
death of her husband, and became ill with tuberculosis. Elisa went by train sometime
after 18941 to live with Talitha and care for her children. The work and exposure
were too much for her advanced age and she contracted pneumonia, and died about
1898.3 Her grave is at Collinsville, Texas.
She married, about 1842,4 John Scott McCalman2 (b. Jan. 9, 1814; d. May, 1886),
a farmer and large land owner. He was justice of the peace at Gaylesville for 30 or 40

"Mrs. Vandalie Gossett died at her home in West Knoxville at four o'clock yesterday morning, after
an illness of a week. She was in the seventy-sixth year of her age. She was a native of Knox Co. and
had lived here nearly her entire life. The date of her birth was January 5, 1822. Her husband,
who died more than 40 years ago, Calvin Gossett, was an officer in a volunteer company in a Ten-
nessee regiment in the Mexican war. Her two sons, who survive her, Volney F. and C. B. Gossett,
served more than three years each in the union army in the last war. More than 40 years ago, she
became a member of the Methodist church and has lived an honest, sincere Christian life.
Mrs. Gossett was a woman of more than ordinary intelligence and was endowed with extraordinary
strength of character. In all the matters of life, she displayed an accuracy and a strength of dis-
crimination, and a decision that stood her well and enabled her to grapple with life's problems

"Mr. John D. Chandler and Miss Lulu D'Armond were married Tuesday evening last at the home
of the bride's mother. Both parties are well known to the people of Harriman. Mr. Chandler is
a leading merchant at Petros, and a highly respected citizen, while the bride is one of Roane
Country's most beautiful and popular young ladies. The ceremony was beautifully performed by
Chaplain J. C. Wright of Athens, and in the presence of a large number of friends of the contracting
parties. The attendants of the bride and groom were Misses Alice Ayres, of Harriman; Dora Brasel
and Cora Kelly, of Petros, and Messrs. S. A. Breaseale, Esq., of Kingston; Percy Chandler, Esq., of
Harriman, and C. H. Brasel, of Chattanooga. Soon after the wedding the contracting parties left on
the southbound train for Chattanooga and other southern points but will soon be at home to their
many friends at Petros, where Mr. Chandler's business interests are at present."
2. Religious Herald, Richmond, Va., March 23, 1905.
"The death in his 87th year, at his home in Richmond a few days since of Captain Thomas T.
Chandler, should be accorded something more than the simple announcement given in the secular
papers. He was the oldest son of the Rev. Rufus Chandler, an A.M. of Yale College, and a scholar
who is credited with the establishment of the first grade academy in Virginia. It was located in
Caroline County on the North Anna river, two miles from Doswell, and was widely known as Little
Yale. At this school Capt. Chandler was educated. The name of the school became the name of the
home where, after a few years passed as a surveyor in the West, and as a railroad man, he lived
as a farmer until sixteen years ago, when he moved to Richmond to educate his daughters and be
with his boys, three of whom were railroad men, with headquarters in the city. Three of his daughters
are full graduates of the best Virginia schools and two of his sons are well known lawyers in Ten-
nessee, (by J., Fork Union, Va.)

"Mr. Thomas T. Chandler died at his residence, 1507 W. Main Street, Richmond, Saturday, Feb.
25, at 8:20 p.m. in the 87th year of his age, after an illness of several weeks. He was a native of
Caroline County but moved to this city about 15 years ago, owing to his advanced age, had been
engaged in no active business since his removal here. He was twice married, his first wife being
Miss Edwina Williamson, of Hanover County, Va. who died, leaving 4 children; Mr. John D. and
George W. Chandler of Harriman, Tenn.; Mrs. J. P. Snead, of South Boston; and Mrs. Walter C.
Jones, of Fork Union, Va. The second time he married Miss Eugenia M. Terrell of this city, who

AG V JAMES DeARMOND (1832-1902), Knoxville, Tennessee
James DeArmond, son of David Flenniken DeArmond and Sarah B. Hines, was born
at Gap Creek, Knox County, Tennessee, in the Seven Island Community, August 18,
1832. He obtained his education in the county schools of his neighborhood, and moved
to Knoxville as a young man where he engaged in the milling industry. During the
Civil War, he was conscripted to operate the grist mill on his father's plantation and
was not permitted to volunteer for other military service due to the urgent need of
the grain products to feed the troops. He later moved to Kingston, Tennessee, where
he operated a grist mill. He moved back to Knoxville in May 1867, in order to afford
better educational facilities for his children. He established his home on South Central
Street near the corner of Church Avenue, which was a good residential neighborhood
at that time. Later, as the neighborhood began to deteriorate, he moved his residence
to Hannah Avenue, where he lived the remainder of his life. After his return to Knox-
ville, he leased the old Scott flour mill located at the corner of Central Street and Clinch
Avenue, which he operated for many years. George Peters, who later operated the
Peters & Bradley Milling Company, was his head miller for years. In later years, James
was a member of the Knoxville Police Department. He was a faithful Baptist, a great
Bible student, and a member of the old First Baptist Church on Gay Street. His face
was as familiar in the congregation as that of Captain W. W. Woodruff, as they sat
near each other in all services, and were lifelong friends. He died, July 1902, and is
buried in Island Home churchyard, Knoxville.

AG V LORENZO DOW DeARMOND (1834-1909), Kimberlin Heights, Tenn.
Lorenzo Dow DeArmond, son of David Flenniken DeArmond and Sarah B. Hines,
was born at Gap Creek, Knox County, Tennessee, in the Seven Island community,
July 25, 1834. He was his father's second child and was named for a famous evangelist
of the period. His education was obtained from the county schools in his neighborhood.
He became a farmer and owned and operated a farm adjacent to his father's extensive
holdings. In 1882, when his youngest child was about 2 years old, he moved to Knox-
ville and lived in a brick house on West Cumberland Avenue, at the corner of Crozier
(now South Central) Street. Directly across Cumberland Avenue on the opposite
corner lived Christopher Columbus Nelson, father of Frank Nelson, noted Knoxville
musician. Diagonally across the intersection on the northwest corner, was the home
of the Jenkins family, parents of Kyle, Nelle and Charles. Halfway up the first block
on Crozier Street, between Cumberland and Church Avenues, lived Lorenzo Dow's
brother, James. There was no bridge or viaduct over Crozier Street at Church Avenue
in those days, and the neighborhood was a good one. Lorenzo Dow operated a fleet of
transfer wagons and a grocery store on Crozier Street adjacent to his home. His son,
John, assisted him in the grocery enterprise. He remained in Knoxville about 10 years,
and then when his son, John, entered business elsewhere in partnership with Will H.
Roberts, he returned to his farm, but neither his wife nor his daughters were content
there. They returned to Knoxville, and his wife secured a divorce.
Lorenzo Dow lived out the remainder of his life on his farm. He was a tall, lanky
man, with gray eyes and sandy brown hair; possessed of a quick, fiery temper, of quick
and unhesitating decisions, and rigid adherence to a conviction once arrived at. He
was a man of little compromise but loyal to those who measured up to his standards.
Two incidents exemplify his nature. A Knoxville man recounted to the author that
he lived as a small boy adjacent to "Uncle Dow" DeArmond's farm and knew him quite
well. Lorenzo Dow was in dispute with a neighbor about the ownership of a certain
pasture strip. One day while he was in Knoxville, the neighbor went into the field
with some helpers and mowed the hay. When Lorenzo Dow reached home, the neigh-
bors were binding the hay. Lorenzo Dow got his shotgun and approached the field and
yelled, "What're you doing in my pasture? Get out or I'll blow you out!" The neigh-
bor began an argument about the ownership of the pasture but Lorenzo's only answer
was the sound of a shell being injected into his shotgun. Knowing his reputation, the
neighbor and his friends departed and tarried not in their going. The other incident
involved our informant himself. He and some other boys tree'd an opossum in a tall,
straight "chestnut oak" on Lorenzo Dow's farm which they could not climb because

of its lack of limbs. One boy suggested that they cut it down but our lad proposed
to get "Uncle Dow's" permission but none of the other boys would accompany him
because of Lorenzo's repuation for violence, so he went alone and knocked on Lorenzo's
door at midnight. Lorenzo Dow came to the door after some delay and asked who was
there and what he wanted. The boy identified himself and told of the opossum and
the tree. "Why don't you cut it down?", asked Lorenzo without hesitation. "But,
Uncle Dow, it's the finest chestnut oak you've got", remonstrated the boy. "What
difference does that make", said Lorenzo, "it'll make good firewood, won't it? Chop
it down." And with that, he closed the door, turned out the light, and went back to
bed.
He died at his home, August 6, 1909, and is buried in Seven Island cemetery.
He married first, January 28, 1858,1 Talitha Angeline Keener (b. Dec. 19, 1835,
Seven Island community, Knox County, Tenn.; d. July 18, 1901, Knoxville; g. Wood-
lawn c.) , daughter of Abraham Keener and Nancy Pitner, Reverend John N. Bowman,
officiating. Her father died in 1850 and she was living, prior to her marriage, with
her uncle, Leroy Scothern Keener, whose farm adjoined that of Lorenzo Dow's father.
She was a small, black-haired, black-eyed girl, this coloring being characteristic of the
earlier members of the Keener family. After she divorced her husband, she and her
daughters returned to Knoxville and purchased a home on McCammon Avenue. She
later sold this home to her son, John Rosecrans, and purchased another home farther
east on the same street which remained her home until her death. Her children con-
tinued to live there until they married.

George Washington DeArmond, son of David Flenniken DeArmond and Sarah B.
Hines, was born in the Seven Islands community of Knox County, Tennessee, January
21, 1843. The Civil War broke out when he was but 18 years old and he enlisted
almost immediately. Having a frail constitution, the rigours of army life of that period
were too much for him to withstand, and he developed tuberculosis and was invalided
home. Aferwards attended medical school at Philadelphia, where he graduated in
medicine. He set up his practice at Riceville, Tennessee. He lived only a few years
more and died, February 11, 1871, of the disease contracted during his war service.

noted for his successful treatment of fever cases. It was said he had a record of never
having lost a fever case. His colleagues respected his skill in this field, and when one
of them had a difficult fever case, he called in Dr. DeArmond as consultant. His
practice was wide, and he was a familiar figure on the streets of Knoxville, either on
foot or in his buggy. He was a tall, spare man of quiet dignity and serene disposition.
He maintained offices in the Empire Building at Market Street and Church Avenue,
and his home on Sevier Avenue at the corner of Davenport Road. He died, October

AG VI FRANCIS MARION DeARMOND (1868- ), Seymour, Missouri
Francis Marion DeArmond, son of William Blount DeArmond and Mary Cook,
was born in a community called the Hindoo Nation, near Duncan, Wright County,
Missouri, February 18, 1868. His father died when he was a small child, and while
still a boy he went to work as a farm laborer. Later, he worked on the construction
of the Frisco Railroad's Kansas City-to-Memphis line. The family home in "the nation"
was blown away, and Francis Marion and his mother were injured in the Marshfield
tornado which devastated that section in 1881. He lacked the advantage of more than
a few month's schooling but became a very successful farmer.
He married, October 18, 1886, Londa Rush (b. Dec. 16, 1866), daughter of Absalom
Rush (b. 1813, Davidson County, N. C.) and Mary Goss (b. Davidson County, N. C.) .
He and his wife were still living alone on the old home place in 1949, in the house
which they built in 1906, Seymour, Missouri.1

Millard Filmore DeArmond, son of James DeArmond and Charlotte Elizabeth

child of his parents. He obtained his education in the public schools of Knoxville, and
followed the trade of saddler and harness maker.
After his first marriage, Millard lived at Bristol, Tennessee, until about 1890. The
marriage was not a success, and he returned to Knoxville, abandoning his wife and
children. His wife soon died, and the children were reared by their mother's family.
Millard died at Knoxville in 1901, and is buried in Island Home Baptist churchyard.
He married first, about 1880, Margaret Rader (b. 1860; d. 1891), daughter of

AG VI GEORGE EMERSON DeARMOND (1865-1901), Knoxville, Tennessee
George Emerson DeArmond, son of James DeArmond and Charlotte Elizabeth
Wrinkle, was born at Kingston, Tennessee, June 6, 1865, but was brought to Knoxville
when his father returned there with his family in 1867. He obtained his education in
Knoxville public schools, and was the only boy in his graduating class. The high
school was then located on West Main Avenue, and his sister, Sarah Jane, was attending
the same school when he graduated. He became a teacher in Knoxville schools and
earned an outstanding reputation for leadership and discipline among his students,
many of whom are prominent citizens today. His career is best described by the follow-
ing quotation from a newspaper article: "Professor George DeArmond, known as
"Flop"1 DeArmond, taught school in the old Hampden Sydney School, and was well
beloved by every boy. He was considered one of the finest instructors in the city
schools at that time, and was later sent to the Bell House school to rule over a group
of young bucks who had found it impossible to get along with any other teacher in
the city schools. It was said that he made a great success with these chaps and with a
little coaxing and much flogging finally made men out of the majority of his charges."2
He afterwards studied medicine, and was a practicing physician at the time of his
death. He was a man of strong will, forceful personality and sharp wit, and this com-
bination made him a formidable opponent in any verbal exchange or battle of wits.

AG VI ARTHUR DeARMOND (1874-1921), Knoxville, Tennessee
Arthur DeArmond, son of James DeArmond and Charlotte Elizabeth Wrinkle, was
born September 26, 1874, Knoxville, Tennessee. He obtained his education in the city
schools of Knoxville. He was a man of special gifts, and it is the opinion of the writer
who knew him that he could have succeeded at any enterprise he might have under-
taken. He was warmhearted, deeply sympathetic, and very loyal to his family and
friends. His time, talents and pocketbook were always ready for any member of his
family in distress and there is no doubt but that his generosity was often abused. He
told the writer that on one occasion the superintendent of the old Knoxville water
pumping station became suddenly ill and there was no one else who understood the
worn and temperamental pumps, so Arthur without authorization or recognition, then
or later from the City authorities, took over and nursed the pumps and other equipment
until the superintendent was able to return, and kept the city water supply at normal.
For a man of his abilities and varied interests to do this was incomprehensible to the
author but it was so characteristic of Arthur that he gave it no thought and expected
no recognition. He engaged in many enterprises and maintained a high standard of
living for his family. He died of a heart ailment, June 26, 1921, and is buried in Green-
wood cemetery, Knoxville.
He married, February 19, 1896, at the age of 22, Johanna Wilhemine Clara Haupt
(b. Oct. 6, 1873, Knoxville; d. April 17, 1949, Bluefield, W. Va.) , daughter of Johann
Friedrich Haupt (b. Feb. 15, 1825, Mulhausen, Prussia; m. Sept. 30, 1858, New York

Prussia; d. Oct. 31, 1877, Knoxville; g. first in family graveyard on home place north
of Sixth Avenue, removed to Old Gray c. in 1895) -1 Clara was a tall, graceful woman
who maintained a charming home and dispensed hospitality with a prodigal hand.
She was cherished by her husband and daughter, was a lover of flowers, birds and pets
and had an endless procession of friends in spite of her quiet nature. After the death
of her husband and the marriage of her daughter, she continued to live at her home
on Leonard Place, Knoxville, for several years. Later, she made her home with her
daughter at Bluefield, West Virginia. She enjoyed perfect health and an erect, graceful
carriage, until her sudden and only illness which terminated in her death. She is
buried in Greenwood cemetery, Knoxville.3

28, 1859. He grew up on his father's farm and came to Knoxville when the family
removed there, where he continued to live throughout his life. Being a shy, retiring
man and addicted to a full beard, he earned the reputation of being almost a recluse
and had few friends. Those who knew him well, however, found him to be a likeable
and kind person. He died August 25, 1933.

AG VI JOHN ROSECRANS DeARMOND (1863-1902), Knoxville, Tennessee
John Rosecrans DeArmond, son of Lorenzo Dow DeArmond and Talitha Angeline
Keener, was born at Kimberlin Heights, Knox County, Tennessee, July 18, 1863. He
spent his childhood on his father's farm, received his education from the neighborhood
county schools, and at the age of 19 came to Knoxville when his father moved there
in 1882. His father operated a grocery business near the corner of Cumberland Avenue'
and Crozier (now S. Central) Street and John helped his father run the business. A
few years later, John left his father and opened a business in partnership with Will H.
Roberts1 on Clinch Avenue, just east of Crozier Street. He also engaged in a broom
manufacturing enterprise for a short time. Later, he bought out his partner and oper-
ated the business as an individual until his death. At this time, a number of promi-
nent families still lived in that neighborhood, and even though his mature life was a
short one, he was well known and liked by many of the business people of Knoxville.2
He was an industrious, hard working man, with a strong sense of economy, and very
ambitious to make a success of himself. He was over six feet tall, with an erect carriage,
and inherited the dominant family characteristics of bold features, sandy brown hair
and gray eyes. He was a great tease but quite affectionate and sympathetic. He was a
member of the old Park Street Christian Church. He died October 20, 1902, at the age
of 39, of acute Brights Disease, after only a few days illness, and is buried in Woodlawn
cemetery, Knoxville.
He married first, January 23, 1889,8 Nancy Alice Roberts (b. Oct. 28, 1867; d. Feb.
9, 1891; g. Old Gray c, Knoxville), daughter of John Harrison Roberts and Jane
Pollard (b. 1849; d. Oct. 3, 1933), and a granddaughter of Houston Roberts (b. Abing-
don, Va., of Scotch-Irish ancestry) . Ashley S. Johnson, who later became the president
of Johnson Bible College, Kimberlin Heights, was the officiating minister. She was
a pretty, dark haired girl, with blue eyes and of a gentle, demure disposition.
He married second, February 22, 1892/ Knoxville, Loudema Vashti McCalman (b.
Oct. 26, 1869, Gaylesville, Ala.; d. May 13, 1951, Knoxville), daughter of Lorenzo Dow
McCalman5 and Harriet Mahala Hurley. The marriage was held in the parlors of the
First Baptist Church of Knoxville, Reverend Carter Helm Jones, the pastor, officiating.
Loudema Vashti grew up in Cherokee County, Alabama, and went to boarding school
at Gaylesville, and later taught school near her home. She met her future husband while
visiting her cousin, Sarah Jane DeArmond (q-v.). All three were cousins.6 After John's
death, Shirley Lee Ernest went to live with his maternal grandmother and Loudema
Vashti moved to West Knoxville, and set up a dressmaking shop to support herself
and small son. She continued this work until her son grew up and assumed the re-
sponsibilities of the home. She had a serious illness in 1919 and spent several winters
at Sarasota, Florida, regaining her health. After her son's marriage in 1924, she made
her home in Florida until 1945, when failing health required that she be brought to
Knoxville by her son. She died at Knoxville and is buried in Highland Memorial
cemetery. She was a young woman of great beauty at the time of her marriage, with
wavy chestnut brown hair, large brown eyes, and a creamy complexion. She proved to
be a woman of courage and resourcefulness, and very generous natured. She was out-
spoken and often critical but in spite of these traits had a wide circle of friends in all
walks of life. She possessed a keen intellect that was rarely deceived.

Molly Etha DeArmond, daughter of William Alexander DeArmond and Harriet
Swaggerty, was born at Kimberlin Heights, Tennessee, May 29, 1885. She grew to young

She married, August 27, 1912, San Bernardino, California, Christopher Columbus
McGinty (b. Aug. 15, 1879, Taylor County, Iowa), son of James Henry McGinty (b.
July 13, 1841, Decatur County, Ind.; d. Feb. 19, 1912) and Nancy Jane DeLong (b.
Dec. 7, 1845, Indiana; d. Feb. 26, 1914). He lived as a boy in Kansas and Nebraska,
and got no schooling until he was 12 years old, and only 2 months out of 12 most
years. At the age of 17 he was nearly blinded by an accidental powder explosion and
was 29 years old before he could continue his education. He entered Johnson Bible
College, Kimberlin Heights, Tennessee, in 1908, where he remained until April, 1912. He
then went to San Bernardino, California, where he and Molly Etha were married. After-

AG VII SHIRLEY LEE ERNEST DeARMOND (1889-1948), Knoxville, Tennessee
Shirley Lee Ernest DeArmond, son of John Rosecrans DeArmond and Nancy Alice
Roberts, was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, October 20, 1889. He attended Bell House
LINE A-2-DESCENDANTS OF JOHN DERMOND 195
School, Hampden Sydney School for Boys, and Knoxville High School. His mother
died during his babyhood and he was reared by his stepmother. After his father's
death, he made his home with his maternal grandparents, and lived in West Knoxville.
His maternal uncle, William T. Roberts, then a 'teen age boy, took a great interest in
Shirley, and when he later entered the retail grocery business on Fort Sanders Street at
Euclid Avenue, he took the boy in as a helper. Later, Shirley became a partner in the
business with his uncle, and the business was moved to West Clinch Avenue at Tenth
Street, where it prospered. Shirley eventually sold his interest to his uncle and launched
out on his own on Cornell Avenue near the Louisville $c Nashville railroad yards.
In later years, he operated a large and prosperous business on South Central Street,
near Willow Avenue. After several years of operation, the building suffered a severe
fire. After disposing of the damaged stock, Shirley re-entered business in the Forest
Avenue Market, in partnership with his son, Jack, and left the active operation of the
business in Jack's hands. This business was restricted to the supply of hotels, restaurants
and institutions.
In the meantime, Shirley had gotten interested in the salvage, wrecking and razing
business, and now devoted his time to this enterprise with Reagan Branch, the opera-
tion being a three-way partnership including, Shirley, his son, Jack, and Reagan Branch.
This business grew rapidly and Shirley began to amass considerable real estate hold-
ings, consisting of business locations, residential and farm developments. He had
purchased, a number of years previously, a large and historic old brick mansion on
Third Creek Pike, with a large farm, which became his home. He developed a large
spring into an artificial lake in front of his home and stocked it thoroughly with finger-
lings. He became an authority on the appraisal of real estate, building materials, and
contractural undertakings, and his expert testimony was often requested in court actions.
He was a man of almost inexhaustible energy and was never idle. He was a born
trader, and there are many tales of his trades involving one or two hours activity which
earned him from several hundred to several thousand dollars. On one occasion, he
entered into a contract to raze the once-famous Lake Toxaway Hotel, a huge and
rambling frame structure in Western North Carolina, against the advice and opposition
of his partners, which became so strong that at one time in the negotiations he asked
his brother if he would join him in the enterprise if his partners refused. His partners
finally went along with him, and when they sold the furnishings of the hotel and before
they began the razing operations, they had cleared more profit than they had expected
from the entire operations. But for federal taxes, this contract alone would have created
for Shirley a comfortable estate.
In spite of his keen business acumen, he was a warm, friendly, and generous person.
Known familiarly as "Shirl" to all his friends, he was well known, admired and liked
by a host of Knoxville citizens. He was a man of no pretense, and his absolute sin-
cerity was never questioned. He was a person of deep and constant attachments; de-
voted to his family, this devotion flowing out to include his brother and his brother's
family, his wife's brother and sisters, nephews and nieces. His endless activity finally
took its toll of his body and his health became impaired for 10 years before his death.
While there was no inherited heart weakness, the constant demands made on it by his
overworked body created high blood pressure which developed an angina complication
which brought on several heart attacks, but his death was sudden and instantaneous
and unexpected. He died at Kingston Pike Hospital, Knoxville, September 1, 1948.
Interment was in the family plot in Woodlawn cemetery.
He married first, November 16, 1906,1 just after his seventeenth birthday, Sarah
Grace Bolton (b. Feb. 25, 1891; d. Aug. 15, 1937; g. Woodlawn c), daughter of Robert
196 DeARMOND FAMILIES
Lincoln Bolton (b. Sale Creek, Tenn.) and Margaret Elizabeth Byerley (b. Grainger
County, Tenn.) . Grace was a friendly, thoroughly honest person with complete con-
fidence in her ability to accomplish any task. She never met a stranger and wasted
no time on self pity ever. She had a cheerful disposition, and was always in a sunny
mood. She and her husband remained sweethearts until her death. She was fatally
injured in an automobile collision near her son's home, and died within an hour.
He married second, October 20, 1938, Myrtle Donald Bolton (b. Dec. 2, 1885, Sale
Creek, Tenn.) , sister of his first wife. Issue: none.

AG VII ROSCOE CARLISLE d'ARMAND (1892-1972), Knoxville, Tennessee
Roscoe Carlisle d'Armand, son of John Rosecrans d'Armand (DeArmond) and
Loudema Vashti McCalman, was born at Knoxville, Tennessee, Dec. 11, 1892. He
obtained his education from Bell House elementary school, Highland Avenue Grammar
school, Hampden Sydney Boys High and Knoxville High schools, and Remington
School of Languages.
After completing a course in accounting, he was employed as bookkeeper with T. E.
Burns Company of Knoxville, the south's first modern grocery. In 1913, he became
general bookkeeper for Tate Spring Hotel, Tate Spring, Tenn., and returned to T. E.
Burns Company in 1915. In 1917, he went to Miller's department store as assistant credit
manager, where he remained for six years, with time out for service in the First World
War. He left there after becoming credit manager, and took the same position with
Sterchi Brothers, furniture dealers. In 1927, he became secretary-manager of the Knox-
ville Automobile Club, where he remained eight years. During his management, the
club changed its name to East Tennessee Automobile Club and expanded its territory
to include most of East Tennessee, its primary civic function during those years being
the promotion of the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In 1935,
he resigned and opened his offices in the Mercantile Building, engaging in real estate,
insurance and investments.
Our subject served in World War I from June 1918 until January 1919, being
stationed at Jacksonville, Florida, at Camp Joseph E. Johnston, in the Quartermaster
Corps and later, Transportation Corps. On the basis of this service, he received an

AG II RICHARD DEARMOND (1743-1802), Dauphin County, Pennsylvania
Richard Dearmond, son of James d'Armond and Mary Johnston, was born on his
father's farm in West Hanover township, Lancaster (now Dauphin) County, Penn-
sylvania, September 1. 1743. His father died in 17481 and in his will appointed Rev-
erend Richard Sankey as guardian for his children, and bequeathed the home place to
his son, Richard. Richard was reared by his widowed mother, along with his brothers
and sisters, until they reached maturity. About 1760, his brothers, Thomas and John,
married and migrated to North Carolina. His mother died in 1779 and willed her
"lands" to Richard.2 Subsequent to his mother's death, Richard must have purchased
from his brother, John, the farm bequeathed to John by his father, as later deeds to
this property passed through Richard's hands.8
He served with distinction in the Revolutionary War in 1778 and 1779, being shown
as a private in 1st Company, Sixth Battalion, Lancaster County Militia, and in 1780
being shown as Quartermaster with the same organization.4 In early tax records his
name was recorded as 'Dermond' and 'Dermont' but eventually became shown as
'Dearmond'. He followed the pursuit of farming, was a substantial land holder, was
active in county and religious affairs, and was a man of influence in his community.8
He died November 17, 1802, and is buried in the Old English "Cemitary", Grant-
ville, East Hanover. His grave is marked by a large slab of granite which also covers his
wife and children, James and Margaret.
In his mature years, Richard married Eleanor Stewart (b. May 4, 1753; d. Feb. 19,
1830; g. beside her husband), daughter of Andrew Stewart (q.v.) and Mary Dinwiddie.

issued to Richard's father on January 18, 1737, warrant being issued to "James Darn", and this
action was required to establish the relationship and ownership clouded by the dissimilarity in spelling
of the surname.

Andrew Stewart Dearmond, son of Richard Dearmond and Eleanor Stewart, was
born at his father's home in West Hanover township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania,
March 19, 1790. After the death of his brother, James, in 1812, Andrew was appointed
administrator for his brother's estate and also replaced James as administrator for his
father's estate, on March 8, 1815.1 From a will filed in Westmoreland County, Penn-
sylvania, we find that Andrew S. Dearmond who was the administrator of James Dear-
mond who was the administrator of Richard for land in Erie and Dauphin Counties,
Pennsylvania, gave bond to the legal heirs of the persons for whom they were admin-
istrator. He was a construction engineer, farmer, and merchant.
During the War of 1812, he enlisted, August 26, 1814, in the 66th Regiment, as a
volunteer, Captain Walker commanding.2 His enlistment expired March 5, 1815, his

AG IV RICHARD CHAMBERS DeARMOND (1819-1865), Philadelphia, Penna.
Richard Chambers DeArmond, son of Andrew Stewart DeArmond and Eliza Rose
Chambers, was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, August 25, 1819. He attended schools
in Harrisburg and in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and entered Princeton University
as a sophomore, November 8, 1838. He graduated on the last Wednesday of September
1841. He was admitted to the bar at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1844. In 1849, he
settled in Columbia, Pennsylvania, and in 1851, removed to Philadelphia, where he
became a merchant. He also owned a line of canal boats operating between Columbia
and Holidaysburg.
He was a strict and devout Christian and became a clerk of the Presbyterian Board
of Home Missions. Sunday was a day of worship and Richard insisted it be devoted
to church and Sunday School and Bible study. A letter to his son, Andrew Goodrich,
who was in the army during the Civil War, epitomizes his religious devotion. "You
cannot imagine how much pleasure your short letter gave us at noon today, and yet
we were pained too at one expression you used. Do not, my Dear Son, allow yourself
to acquire the degrading habit of— shall I call it profanity— well, of using low language.
I know you would have this and many other temptations to contend against in Camp
life— but I trusted and still trust that the Almighty would keep you and restore you
to your home pure and honest. Remember you have your testimony to bear of the
truth of the Christian religion— and ever look to the Captain of Your Salvation for
guidance and direction. If you faithfully commit your affairs to Christ he will keep
you both bodily and spiritually. We do not forget to pray for you— do not forget to
pray for yourself. Next Sabbath is Communion, we wish you could be home with us—
We will not forget you at the Home of Grace. You have gone to be a Soldier— do not
flinch now— and do not shirk any duty. The trial will soon be over— and it will be
a very gratifying reflection that you have done your whole duty. With love from the
whole family, I subscribe myself, Your affectionate father, R. C. DeArmond. P. S. Be
faithful unto death and He will give you a Crown of Life."
He died suddenly of spotted fever, February 7, 1865, at Philadelphia.
He married, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, April 22, 1845, Eliza Matilda Kellogg (b.
Dec. 23, 1823, Towanda, Pa.; d. Mar. 6, 1883, Fernwood, Delaware County, Penna.),
daughter of Alvah Kellogg and Mary Morse. After the death of her husband, Eliza
operated her home with more relaxed discipline than had been enjoyed while her
husband was living. The older children sought employment while Eliza reared the
four younger ones. She encouraged her children to bring their friends into the home
and enjoy music. The daughters played the organ and banjoes, Andrew and William
were flutists, and George was an expert accordianist. They enjoyed singing, George
and Andrew having good tenor voices. The carpets were rolled back, and George
taught his brothers and sisters to dance. In short, Eliza faced modern social trends
and marched with them, even permitting the youngsters to play cards which had all too
recently been considered a part of the Devil's workshop. Eliza was a woman of wisdom,
diplomacy, and tremendous energy but her body was not equal to her driving spirit.
She contracted tuberculosis which caused her death. She was nursed by her three
daughters and so ignorant was medical science of the proper treatment for this disease
in those days that all three contracted t. b. from their mother and died of it.

208 DeARMOND FAMILIES
AG V ANDREW GOODRICH DeARMOND (1846-1923), Swarthmore, Penna.
Andrew Goodrich DeArmond, eldest child of Richard Chambers DeArmond and
Eliza Matilda Kellogg, was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, March 27, 1846, When
the Civil War broke out, he enlisted in E. Spencer Miller's Dalgren Howitzer Battery
of Independent Artillery as corporal. On June 19, 1863, he re-enlisted to serve for the
emergency, as 2nd lieutenant of Captain E. Spencer Miller's Company of Independent
Battery Volunteers. He was discharged, July 25, 1863 (?) , at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
by reason of the expiration of the term of service, by E. Spencer Miller, Captain,
commanding the company.1
Andrew was preparing for college when his father died in 1865, so he abandoned his
plans for college and went into the printing business. In 1872, he moved to Town
Point, Maryland, and engaged in farming. In 1874, he bought a farm at Swarthmore,
Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and took up dairy farming, breeding a herd of pedi-
greed Alderney cows. He formed the Swarthmore Land Improvement Company and
was made president. As the farms disappeared and small suburban estates began to
appear with no more than an acre of ground apiece, he lost interest and moved to
California. He grew oranges and grapefruit for a few years, but because of the distance
from the eastern markets and the lack of good transportation, he moved to Florida and
took up truck gardening.
In his late seventies, his health began to fail and he was advised to seek a higher
altitude. He moved to North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, where he died, January 12,
1923.
He married, November 3, 1869, Philadelphia, Lizzie Douglas Foulks (b. July 23,
1847, Philadelphia; d. Oct. 27, 1936, Swarthmore, Penna.) , daughter of Charles T.
Foulks and Mattie Douglass. She was a graduate of Westchester State Teachers College,
and became famous as a writer of religious songs under the name "Lizzie DeArmond".
Among her best known hymns are // your Heart Keeps Right and Good Night, Good
Morning. Homer Rodeheaver, noted evangelical singer, used many of her hymns
when he worked with Billy Sunday, and when she died, he canceled all engagements
and went to Swarthmore, and sang her hymns at her funeral.

AG V WILLIAM CHAMBERS DeARMOND (1848-1931), Philadelphia, Penna.
William Chambers DeArmond, son of Richard Chambers DeArmond and Eliza
Matilda Kellogg, was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, July 27, 1848. He moved with
his family to Columbia, Pennsylvania, in 1849 and to Philadelphia in 1851. During his
early years he attended public school in Philadelphia, and later studied accounting
under an instructor who specialized in railroad accounting.
In late 1863 or early 1864, he went with his brother, Andrew Goodrich, to Harris-
burg, and became connected with the Pennsylvania Canals Company, a subsidiary of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. He was assigned to the accounting department, and among
his early duties was the collecting of tolls. Later, he was sent to Bordentown, New
Jersey, to adjust the accounts of the Delaware k Raritan Canal Company, which had
been recently purchased by the Pennsylvania Railroad. He was later transferred to the
Pennsylvania Railroad office at Philadelphia, and was assigned to the accounting de-
partment, where he subsequently became chief clerk.
During the Spring of 1878, he moved his family from Philadelphia to Beverly, New
Jersey. In 1879, he resigned from the Pennsylvania Railroad and accepted a position
with the Norfolk & Western Railway, as assistant to the president. A few years later,
he was promoted to the position of general purchasing agent, this position including
the presidency of the Roanoke Land &: Improvement Company, Radford Brick Com-
pany, Norfolk & Western Hotels Company (this company operating Hotel Roanoke of
Roanoke; Radford Hotel of Radford, Virginia, and Luray Inn at Luray, Virginia) .
In the spring of 1893, he resigned his position with the Norfolk 8c Western Railway
to accept the position of chief of sales, of the Trogan Car Coupler Company, Troy,
New York, his headquarters being in New York City, where he moved his family. He
resigned this position in 1896 to become sales manager of the Schoen Pressed Steel
Company, Pittsburgh, with general offices at Philadelphia. He moved his family back to
Philadelphia, spending the winters there and the summers at the family home in Beverly,
New Jersey. In January of 1900, the Schoen Pressed Steel Company and the Fox Steel
Truck Company were merged to form the Pressed Steel Car Company. William was
made secretary of this company, and also had charge of sales to certain railroads. In
1901, he formed the Protectus Company for the manufacture of metallic preservative
paints. Later, he formed the Rincon Mines Company, which later became the Weaver
Mountain Mining Company, which operated a gold mining claim in Arizona. He was
also interested in the formation of other companies, two of which were the Smoke &
Spark Arrester Company and the Carbonator Company.
He died at Philadelphia at the age of 83, May 21, 1931.
William married first, Feb. 20, 1873, Philadelphia, Mary Caroline Baker (b. July 14,
1851, Philadelphia; d. June 9, 1888, Beverly, N. J.), daughter of Isaac Baker and Mary
Stuart. She was the youngest of six children.

James Cowden DeArmond, son of Richard Chambers DeArmond and Eliza Matilda
Kellogg, was born at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, January 15, 1851. He was the most
athletic of Richard's sons, and participated in all sports but excelled in figure ice
skating.
After the death of his father in 1865, he became a carpenter and builder. He later
secured employment with the Pennsylvania Railroad, and eventually became a con-
ductor. This was during the era of the link and pin couplings. In acting for a missing
brakeman on one occasion, James was badly crushed between two cars while operating
the coupling, and died, January 4, 1880, Philadelphia.

AG V GEORGE JOHNES DeARMOND (1853-1944), Philadelphia, Penna.
George Johnes DeArmond, son of Richard Chambers DeArmond and Eliza Matilda
Kellogg, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, February 18, 1853. He had an over-
powering devotion to his mother and family, and learned at his grandmother's knee
many quotations from the Bible, and could recite in order, the books of the Old and
New Testament up to the day of his death.
Although only 12 years old when his father died, he left school and worked in a
printing office until he contracted double pneumonia. After his recovery, he was sent
to visit one of his Harrison cousins1 at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. On his return home, he
LINE A-3-DESCENDANTS OF RICHARD DEARMOND 213
worked for Fairbanks, Morse & Company, manufacturer of scales. About 1873, he
worked as a printer for J. H. Zeilin & Company, a proprietary medicine company. They
did their own advertising printing and also compiled a very complete almanac. He
soon became head of the department. This position proved very confining and he
secured a promotion to the sales department, and was assigned to the southern terri-
tory. His trips through this territory proved to be of 14 and 15 months duration, and
in certain sections of the deep south where railroads did not reach, he traveled by
wagon team, calling on the druggists who in many cases were also the doctors of the
small towns and villages.
On March 15, 1888, he became a merchant in Philadelphia with Alexander Denniston
as partner, under the name of Denniston %c DeArmond, as wholesale distributors of
upholstery goods and cabinet hardware. Mr. Denniston had had experience in the
field and was thoroughly conversant with it, while George Johnes financed the partner-
ship. In 1900, George Johnes bought out his partner and the firm name was changed
to DeArmond & Company. In 1901, his son, James Keyser, finished college and joined
his father in the business. In September 1901, George Johnes suffered a breakdown from
overwork, and his son became manager.
On January 19, 1926, the business suffered a devastating fire. Nothing daunted,
George Johnes, then 73 years old, purchased an eight story modern building at 925-
927-929 Filbert Street, with a frontatge of 60 feet and a depth of 140 feet, which was
equipped with two passenger elevators and one large freight elevator. The company
occupied the entire first and second floors and the basement, except for maintenance
facilities. The remaining upper floors were leased to other occupants.
George Johnes remained active in the business until a few days before his death,
which occurred September 14, 1944, he then being in his 92nd year.
He married, December 7, 1876, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Elizabeth Webster Keyser
(b. Aug. 10, 1853; d. April 25, 1924, Philadelphia), daughter of James Davis Keyser
and Ann Thorpe Webster.

AG V POWELL DeARMOND (1359-1927), McKees Rocks, Penna.
Powell DeArmond, son of Richard Chambers DeArmond and Eliza Matilda Kellogg,
was born at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 15, 1859. He was too young to go to
work when his father died in 1865, and remained at home with his mother and sisters.
After he reached manhood, he secured a position with the Norfolk 8c Western Railway
shops at Roanoke, Virginia, possibly through the influence of his brother, William
Chambers, and became a shop engineer. When his brother became interested in the
Pressed Steel Car Company of Pittsburgh, he went to work for that company after the
turn of the century, and made his home at McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania. He died there,
August 7, 1927.

AG VI FRANK LUCAS DeARMOND (1873-1953), Tucson, Arizona
Frank Lucas DeArmond, eldest child of William Chambers DeArmond and Mary
Caroline Baker, was born at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, November 22, 1873. He was
reared at Beverly, New Jersey, and attended the Farnum School. During the summer
vacation of 1890, he joined the Engineer Corps of the Norfolk & Western Railway, at
Ceredo, West Virginia, which was then building a bridge across the Ohio River. The
West Virginia end of the bridge developed into a town and became Kenova. In the fall,
he returned to his home and attended the Polytechnic Academy, Philadelphia. The
following summer vacation, his father sent him to Roanoke, Virginia, where he worked
in the shops of the Norfolk & Western Railway for three months.
In October 1891, he enrolled as a freshman in the College of Engineering, Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. He graduated in June 1895, with a bachelor of science degree in
electrical engineering. During his four years at the university, he was Freshman Class
treasurer, a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, and one of the organizers of the Mu
Phi Alpha engineering fraternity.
After graduation, he took a course at the Philadelphia School of Industrial Art,
Textile Section, in preparation for a position with the New York Tapestry Mills of
Philadelphia, which had been sponsored by DeArmond 8c Company of Philadelphia.
Later, Frank Lucas and his brother, Ross, became the owners and operators of this
mill. The business was sold in 1902. Frank afterward became associated with the
Protectus Company which his father had organized, manufacturing steel preservative
paints and selling railway supplies. He held the position of assistant general manager,
general manager, and treasurer, progressively, until May 1918.
On May 17, 1918, he entered the Quartermaster Corps of the U. S. Army as captain,
being assigned to the Construction Division Section "C", which had jurisdiction over
temporary construction at coast defense and interior army posts. On April 28, 1919,
he was promoted to the rank of major, and given the task of cleaning up and closing
the various projects on which he had been working. He was honorably discharged from
the army on September 6, 1919.
After the termination of his army service, Frank Lucas became connected with the
Office of the Alien Property Custodian, and was sent to Passaic, New Jersey, as resident
representative of the custodian at Botany Worsted Mills. He held the title of Assistant
Treasurer of the Botany plant until June 1926, when the property was returned to the
original owners. He then resigned and went to live with his father at Philadelphia.
While living at Philadelphia, his uncle, George Johnes DeArmond of DeArmond
& Company, suggested that he accept a position with Kemitex Products Incorporated, of
Wadsworth, Ohio, as salesman in its eastern territory. Some months later he was trans-
ferred to the factory general offices at Wadsworth, and placed in charge of sales in Ohio,
southern Michigan, eastern Indiana, northern and western Kentucky, portions of West
Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. He traveled this territory three times
each year. In 1937, due to a change in the management of the home office, he resigned,
and joined the sales department of the Cleveland branch, Illinois Shade Cloth Corpora-
tion, Chicago Heights, Illinois. In 1939, he moved to Baltimore, and made his home
with his sister, Retta, and her husband. In the fall of 1940, he went by car with his
sister and her husband, to Tucson, Arizona, where he operated the Catalina Court,
owned by them. In January, 1944, this property was sold and Frank Lucas retired. He
afterwards made his home with his sister, Retta, at Tucson. He died, May 1, 1953, and
is buried in Evergreen cemetery, Tucson.

home in Beverly, New Jersey, and attended the Farnum School there, from which he
graduated in June 1892. In the fall of 1892, he entered the Wharton School of Business
Science and Political Economy, University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated
in June 1896. While in college, Ross played on his class football team, and rowed on
the class crew. He was vice president of his class during senior year, and on class day
was elected Bowl Man of his class. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
After graduation, he joined the firm of Covington and McArthur, the firm name

Clarence DeArmond, son of William Chambers DeArmond and Mary Caroline Baker,
was born in Beverly, New Jersey, September 7, 1880. He received his early education
at the Farnum School, Beverly, but after his father moved to New York City in 1893,
Clarence attended the Friends School there. In 1896, the family moved to Philadelphia,
and he enrolled at William Penn Charter School. While there, he established a new
interscholastic record for the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes. After graduation, he
entered University of Pennsylvania, and was presenter at his class day exercises upon
graduation in 1903 as an architect. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
He served his apprenticeship in the office of Frank Miles Day, one of the most
celebrated architects in Philadelphia at that time. Later, he formed the partnership of
DeArmond, Ashmcad R: Bickley, architects. During World War II, one of his partners
died, and Clarence offered his services to the government in connection with housing.
He remained in this work as architect to the Army Engineers after the war and until
his death. He died, September 18, 1953, at Philadelphia, and is buried in West Laurel
Hill cemetery, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
He married, November 7, 1909, Philadelphia, Edna Kirk Mussleman (b. Feb. 5,

tion at the Friends School in New York City, and after her family moved to Phila-
delphia, she attended Miss Judkins Seminary School for Girls. During World War I,
she was employed in the insurance department of Penn Mutual Company of Phila-
delphia. After the war, she lived with her sister, Edna, at Montclair, New Jersey. She
studied filing in a New York business school and became head file clerk in the real
estate office of the D. L. & W. RR. at Hoboken, New Jersey. She held this position
when she married. After her marriage, she lived at Baltimore, Maryland, until the fall
of 1940, when she and her husband moved to Arizona because of his health.
She married, July 22, 1922, Mario Mouton (b. Dec. 23, 1894, Fieume, Austria-
Hungary; d. Oct. 22, 1941, Tucson, Arizona). His father was Italian-French and his
mother was an Austrian. He became a seaman and came to the United States. During
World War I, he enlisted in the army and became a corporal, and was in charge of a
machine gun crew. During the Battle of the Argonne Forest, he was wounded in a
mustard gas attack. After his discharge from the army, he returned to the sea, his first
love, and became a Master Mariner. He was captain of several ships of the American
South African Line, his home port being Baltimore. In 1940, he became quite ill
because of his gassed lungs, and was forced to resign. He recovered partially from this
illness, and in September 1940, he and his wife, accompanied by his wife's brother,
Frank Lucas DeArmond (q.v.) , moved to Tucson, Arizona. At first, the dry atmosphere
improved his health but since mustard gas poisoning is not true t.b., the improvement
was only temporary, and he entered the Veterans Hospital at Tucson, where he died.
He was buried in Soldiers Section, Evergreen cemetery, Tucson, with full military
honors. He was a member of the Morgan-McDermont Post No. 7 of the American
Legion, which post conducted the services. He was a Mason. Issue: none.

HENRY D ARMOND
of
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
and
descendants
Henry, a brother of James d'Armond, may have come to America with his brother in
1735, but since he was only nine years old at that time, it is more likely that he
followed his brother to Pennsylvania after he was old enough to make the voyage alone.
Our first record of him is at the age of 20.
A legend among the descendants of Richard Dearmond says Henry was living in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1822. No official record of him after 1800 has been found,
but if this legend is correct, then he was still living at the advanced age of 96.
Only one son has been definitely identified, Henry, Junior, whose issue consisted of
four daughters. Joseph M. has been tentatively identified as another son but even he
becomes lost after 1800. Probably, there were other children but all research has failed
to discover any records of any descendants of this family after 1800.

222 DeARMOND FAMILIES
AG I HENRY D'ARMOND, SR. (1726-?), Cumberland County, Penna.
Henry D'Armond, Sr., whose parentage is unknown, was born in England in 1726.
He is first recorded in Pennsylvania on July 23, 1746, when he enlisted as a laborer in
the provincial service of Pennsylvania, and began service on August 4, 1746, under
command of Samuel Perry, under proclamation by Governor George Thomas of Penn-
sylvania, dated June 9, 1746, to raise 400 men within the province of Pennsylvania, to
be used in concert with regular forces for the immediate reduction of Canada. The
troops went into winter quarters at Albany, New York, and were finally discharged on
October 31, 1747, the expedition against Canada being abandoned for the time.1
Henry gave his age as 20 and his place of birth as England.
On May 13, 1756, Henry Deyermond secured a warranty for 50 acres of land in
Paxtang township, Dauphin County.8
On April 13, 1772, Henry Dearmont appeared in Derry township, Cumberland
County, the adjoining county to Dauphin on the west side of the Susquehanna River,
in a caveat against the acceptance of a survey by P'r application number 2756 of a
tract of land in Derry township made by John Stump for James Barr.4 This may have
involved title to 300 acres of land recorded to Henry Deyarmond in Cumberland County
on August 2, 1773." On March 15, 1776, Henry Dermond was again forced to defend
his title against a caveat entered by Michael Gander on behalf of himself and the heirs
of Peter Schneider, deceased, against the acceptance of a survey or granting a patent
to Henry Dermond or any other person claiming under a warrant to Arthur Forster
for a tract of land in Derry township, Cumberland County, alleging that said Peter
Schneider [had] obtained a warrant in the year 1755 for land on the other side of
Kishaquoquillas Creek and lived on and improved the same until he was drove (sic)
off and killed by the Indians and that said Henry Dermond [had] since obtained a
survey on the warrant of Forster which included the land intended by Schneider's war-
rant.6
In 1778, Henry Deimond (sic) was taxed in Derry township for 137 acres of land, 2
horses, 1 cow;7 and in 1779, his acreage is recorded for tax purposes as 446 acres;8 indi-
cating that the two holdings were now definitely his. In 1780. his acreage is shown as
440 and 302, with 4 horses, 6 cattle.9 In 1781, he is shown with 500 acres and 3 cattle;10
and in 1782, his holdings were reduced to 200 acres. 2 horses, 3 cattle.11
The 1790 census for West Pennsboro township, Cumberland County, lists Henry
Dearmont with 2 males over 16 and 4 females. This would indicate that Henry was
now living with his son, Henry, Jr. He was then 64 years of age. There is also a 1790
census list for "the remainder of Cumberland County" which shows Henry Yarmon
(sic) with 1 male over 16; 3 males under 16; and one female. In spite of the similarity
of the names, this author is of the opinion that there is no connection.13
The 1800 census for West Pennsboro township, Cumberland County, lists Henry
Deerman with 1 male over 45; 1 male, 26-45; 2 males under 10; 1 female over 45; 1
female, 16-26; 3 females, 10-16; indicating that Henry, Sr. and Henry, Jr. were still
domiciled together. The young boys listed may have been grandchildren since Henry,
Jr. had no sons. Where Henry, Sr. lived after the death of his son in 1804, has not
been learned, nor the date of his death.14 The only later knowledge we have is the
legend in the Richard Dearmond family which places him as living in Harrisburg in
1822. This legend has not been otherwise substantiated.2
Henry Deyermond was married on April 24, 1760, in Paxtang township, Dauphin
County, Pennsylvania, to Mary Byars, by Reverend John Roan, pastor, Newside Presby-
terian Church, near Harrisburg.18

AG II HENRY D'ARMOND JR. (al760-1804), Cumberland County, Penna.
Henry D'Armond, Junior, son of Henry D'Armond, Senior, and Mary Byars, was
born in Pennsylvania and perhaps Dauphin County, soon after 1760. He grew to man-
hood there and in Cumberland County where his father eventually settled and owned
large acreage.
He was first recorded in 1779 as Henry Deyermond, freeman, tax 7/10/0;1 and again
in 1780, still a freeman, tax 20/0/0. 2 He was listed in 1781 in West Pennsboro town-
ship, Cumberland County, as being single, and the owner of 50 acres of land, 1 horse
and 1 cattle;3 and again in 1782 without any change in his taxable status.4
He served during the Revolutionary War in Captain James Irwin's Company, 5th
Company, 2nd battalion, Cumberland County, as Henry Deyermond, second class, Sep-
tember 10, 178 1.6
He was listed in the 1790 census for West Pennsboro township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, with 2 males over 16, and 4 women. Apparently, this census listing
included both Henry, Jr. and his father, indicating that they were still living together.
They were again listed in the 1800 census as being in the same household.15
Like all our pioneer ancestors, Henry devoted himself to developing his land and
rearing his family, and otherwise led a quiet life. He died in the prime of life, between
August and October, 1804,7 at Newville, West Pennsboro township, Cumberland County,
and was buried in Big Spring Presbyterian graveyard.
We know nothing of his wife except that her given name was Deborah.

free and ablebodied male white of Coumberland County Militia, inhabiting within the
bounds of Cumberland County Militia, 18-45 age", as Joseph Deyermont.1 He was listed
in the 1800 census for West Pennsboro township, Cumberland County, with a family.2

D'Armond, Sr.

WILLIAM DEARMOND
of
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
and
descendants
The history of the early members of this family has been created with great difficulty
and uncertainty, from scanty and almost non-existent records. The relationship be-
tween William and James d'Armond of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, although
obviously close, cannot be determined, nor the date of his arrival in Pennsylvania. In
fact, there is only one record to prove his existence. He may have been a brother of
Thomas Dearmond of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, and therefore, a son of
Alexander Diermond of County Donegal, Ireland. Also, the frequency of the name
'Michael', 'William', and 'Peter' in this family indicates a close relationship with
the Dearmont family of Fauquier County, Virginia (Line G) , but several years of
research and study of existing records have failed to produce any tangible proof of such
relationship.
William's children's names have been established from their ages, places of early
residence, and the association of given names. Most of them remained in Pennsylvania,
and helped to settle and develop other counties of the state, particularly Huntingdon
and Blair.
Aggressive and more localized research is needed to give this family the prominence
it deserves. The author has been greatly hampered by his distance from all record sources
on this line.

DeARMOND FAMILIES
AG I WILLIAM DEARMOND of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
William Dearmond, whose parentage has not been determined, came to America,
probably after 1750, and evidently from North Ireland. He was no doubt influenced
to come to America by letters written to the family in Great Britain by James d'Armond,
who had settled in Lancaster County about 1735.
He is recorded as having settled in Kishiquoquillas Valley which was in Derry town-
ship, (then) Cumberland County, in 1755. He lived there until 1761, devoting himself
to the improvement of his land. He then sold his improvement rights to James Alex-
ander who may have been a relative.1 Whether his decision to dispose of his holdings
was occasioned by his death, dissatisfaction with the land, or other reasons, we do not
know. William disappeared from all records in Pennsylvania, although there are fre-
quent references to his children in after years in Cumberland and nearby counties. In
1789, Derry township became a part of the newly formed Mifflin County.

and again as number 79, same company,' which may have represented his son, James,
Jr., instead of himself.
The 1790 census for Huntingdon County lists James Dermit with 1 male over 16; 5
males under 16; 3 females, indicating that most of his sons were born after 1774. In
1793, he is shown as James Deyarmond, Huntingdon County Militia, his name being
spelled variously as Dearmon, Dearmont, Deharmond. He was shown as being "also of
Delaware."9 In 1798, James Dearmont was shown as the owner of 296 acres, West town-
ship, Huntingdon County.10 He is again shown in the Huntingdon County Militia as
one of the effective men of the 2nd Company, 1st Battalion, 1790-1800. " He was listed
in the 1800 census for West township, Huntingdon County, with 1 male over 45; 2
males, 16-26; 2 males, 10-16; 3 males under 10; 1 female, 10-16; indicating that his wife
may have been deceased. He was not listed in the 1820 census, and it is assumed that
he deceased between 1810 and 1820.
His first marriage must have taken place about 1770, but there is no record of his
wife's name. Two marriages were recorded in 1789, one of which may refer to our
subject, and the other to his son, James, Jr.12 On January 15, 1826, is recorded the
death of "Mrs. Dearmet, wife of James Dearmet, Sr. of West Township".'3 The only
possible assumption is that this reference is to his second wife whom he married in 1789.

agrees with that of Matthew's wife, indicating that Matthew may have died and John listed as head

AG II JOHN DEARMONT (1755-1810), Huntingdon County, Penna.
John Dearmont, son of William Dearmond of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
was born before 1755 in North Ireland, and brought to America as a small child by his
father. He was first recorded in Chester County, Pennsylvania, as a freeman in 1767,
for supply tax, lbs 3/0/0, Chester County rates.1 He took the oath of allegiance in
Hanover township, Dauphin County, August 4, 1777.*

He served during the Revolutionary War as a private in Capt. William Soull's
Company 11th Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded by Col. Richard Humpton. He
enlisted Feb. 11, 1777, and his name last appears on the company muster roll for August
1777, dated Sept. 5, 1777. He also served in Captain Grier's Company, 1st Continental
Troops, Pennsylvania; enlisted July 1st, year, rank nor period being shown.16 He served
with the Rangers of the Frontiers, Northumberland County, with Wm. Clark's Com-
pany, 1778-1 783, 3 and received depreciation pay for services in Northumberland County,
Revolutionary War.4 He was also listed with the Continental Line, Northumberland
County Militia,1 and again with the Rangers of the Frontier, Northumberland County.6
He was listed as a private from Northumberland County in a list of soldiers of the
Revolution who received pay for their services, 1778-1783, Revolutionary War.'
In 1787, John Diermond was listed in Turbot township, Northumberland County,
for state tax, with 100 acres, tax lbs 3/9/0, living next to Thomas Dearmond (q.v.)
who had settled earlier in the county. This is the first listing of his name in North-
umberland County.* In 1790, he was listed in the Northumberland County census with
1 male over 16; 1 male under 16; 1 female; next to Thomas Dearmond.
In 1789, he is listed as a settler in Huntingdon County, in Warriors Mark township,
which was being set off from Franklin township.9 There is an overlap of one year at
this point. Apparently, he was influenced to settle in this county by his brother, James,
who settled there in 1788. Daniel Dearmont is also recorded as an early settler.10 John
is listed in the 1800 census for Barre township, Huntingdon County, with 1 male over
45; 3 males, 16-26; 1 male under 10; 1 female, 26-45; 1 female, 16-26; 1 female, 10-16;
3 females under 10. He was not listed in the 1810 census or any subsequent census,
indicating that he may have died between 1800 and 1810.

AG HI WILLIAM DEARMOND (al773-al844), Chambersburg, Penna.
William Dearmond, son of Henry Deyarmond and Jane Holmes, was born in
Franklin County, Pennsylvania, after 1773. Records indicate that he was a farmer and
lived his entire life in the same county. He was first listed in 1807, in Antrim township,
Franklin County, as a freeman, for taxables.1 On September 2, 1809, his father made
a deed for land in Hamilton township, to William and his brother, James.2 On July 1,
1815, William purchased land in Hamilton township, being Lot No. 71 on the town
plot, from executors of Benj. Chambers of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The deed
shows that William was also living in Chambersburg.3
On April 8, 1844, William Dearmond and his wife, Mary, executed a deed to Peter
Christ, covering property situated in Chambersburg.*
The date of his death is unknown.

James Deyermont, son of Henry Deyarmond and Jane Holmes, was born in Franklin
County, Pennsylvania, after 1773. He was a farmer. He was first listed in 1788, Franklin
County, as being taxed with one horse.1 On September 2, 1809, his father executed a
deed to James and his brother, William, for land in Hamilton township.2 On January
2, 1812, James Dearmont of Hamilton township purchased from John Brown of Peters
township, and Elizabeth, his wife, land located in Hamilton township, containing 137
acres, 87 perches.3 On April 18, 1818, James Deyarmont obtained a warranty for 27.140
acres of land in Franklin County, Pennsylvania.4 On September 9, 1818, James Dyarmont
and his wife, Martha, gave a deed to William Bratton, all of Hamilton township, for
land in Hamilton township "which is held by virtue of 2 patents dated April 18, 1818."*
He married, May 12, 1807, Martha Shannon, Reverend David Denny, pastor, Falling
Springs Church, Chambersburg, officiating. His name was recorded as "James Diermont".*

AG III JAMES DEARMONT, Jr. (1774-al840), Huntingdon County, Penna.
James Dearmont, Jr., (also spelled DeArmitt), son of James Dearmond of Hunting-
don County, Pennsylvania, was born in 1774. He was first listed in 1788 as James
Deermit, single freeman, in Huntingdon township, Huntingdon County, with a tax
of 12.0.1 He was later listed with his father in Captain Little's Company of 144 men,
in the same year.2 He was listed in the 1790 census for Huntingdon County as James
Darmet, with 1 male over 16; 2 females; no others. He was shown in the 1800 census
for Huntingdon County, as living in Warriormark township, as James DeArmand with
1 male, 26-45; 1 male under 10; 1 female, 26-45; 1 female, 10-16; 2 females under 10.
He does not appear in the 1810, 1820 or 1830 census records for Huntingdon County.
James Dearmot was recorded in 1806 as constable, and in 1803, 1818, 1821 and 1822
LINE C-DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM DEARMOND 235
as road supervisor.5 He was recorded, along with William Dearmin, as receiving a war-
ranty for 396 acres of land, Huntingdon County, date of survey being April 11, 1825.*
This may refer to land inherited from his father who died prior to 1820.
The 1840 census for Huntingdon County finds him in Morris township as James
Dearmet with 1 male, 50-60; 1 male, 15-20; 1 male, 10-15; 1 male under 5; 1 female,
50-60; 1 female, 20-30; 1 female, 5-10.
In 1845, Jackson township was formed, and he was shown as one of the owners of
seated lands.4 Since neither James nor his wife were listed in the 1850 census, it is
assumed they were then deceased.

4. J. Simpson Africa, History of Huntingdon County, Penna., p. 295, shows John Dearmont, James
Dearmont, Sr., James Dearmont, Jr., George Dearmont, as owners of seated lands in the newly formed
Jackson township. Since James DeArmond Sr. died prior to 1820, it must be presumed that his son
later became known as "James, Sr." and his son as "James Jr." George probably was another son.
5. Ibid., This could refer to either James, Sr. or James, Jr., but the age of the elder inclines us to
believe that James, Jr. was the man who was engaged in those more active pursuits.
6. Ibid., p. 56. Marriages by Rev. John Johnston. James Dermont m. to Esther Long, Jan. 1, 1789:
James Dermont m. to Rebecca Finley, Dec. 22, 1789. Apparently, this represents marriages of both
James, Sr. and James, Jr.
AG HI WILLIAM D. DEARMON (1787-1830), Huntingdon County, Penna.
William D. Dearmon, son of James Dearmond of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania,
was born in Huntingdon County in 1787. He served in the War of 1812 from Hunting-
don County, with the drafted troops, age 25, officers being Capt. Jeffries, also Capt.
Wharton.1 He was later listed in the roll of militia of the 33rd Pennsylvania Regiment,
as returned from service on April 13, 1813, as Wm. Dearmont, private.2 He was again
shown as Ensign Wm. Dearmond, in the list of officers and privates of the 46th Penn-
sylvania Regiment, drafted troops, 1812-1814. Apparently, he had resigned as a soldier
and been appointed to the officer corps.8 He was also shown as a private, Roll of
Drafted Companies from Huntingdon County, November 1813/ On August 17, 1813,
he obtained a warranty and survey for 300 acres of land in Huntingdon County.8
He was a blacksmith and farmer in civilian life. He must have died before 1830,
since his wife is listed as a widow in the 1830 and 1840 census records.6
He married Nancy Kennedy (b. 1790-1800) . Apparently, she removed to Ohio with
her son, Samuel, in 1844, as there is no further record of the family in Huntingdon
County.

AG III BARNABAS DeARMITT (1791-1860), Huntingdon County, Penna.
Barnabas DeArmitt, son of James Dearmond, Senior, of Huntingdon County, was
born in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, June 3, 1791.1 He grew up on his father's
farm and apparently lived out his life in the same locality, as he is listed in the 1830, 1840,
and 1850 censuses as living in West township which is in the same valley where his
father's home was situated.2 He died in Huntingdon County, March 1, 1860.
The name of his wife is not known, but the 1830 and 1840 census records show she
was born between 1800 and 1810. Her absence from the 1850 census indicates that she
may have died after 1840.
After our subject's death, the family must have settled elsewhere, as later historians
reported that none of the name were living in the county.3

William Dearmont, son of John Dearmont of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania,

with his father to Huntingdon County as a teen-age boy. Apparently, he was a farmer,
and lived in Barre township throughout his life.1 The date of his death is not known
but since he is not found after 1830 in the census records for Huntingdon County, it is
possible that he died between 1830 and 1840.
He married before 1800 but the name of his wife is not recorded unless the record
of Mary Dearmitt of Barre township in the 1840 census is that of his widow.2

Samuel Kennedy DeArmoun, son of William D. Dearmon and Nancy Kennedy, wai
born in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, in 1819. * He grew to manhood on his
father's farm, and after his father's death, continued to make his home with his widowed
mother until 1844, when he removed to Ohio. It is presumed that his family moved
with him. He was living in Marion County, Ohio, before his marriage. In 1855, he
and his wife removed to Butler County, Iowa, by wagon teams, accompanied by her
parents, brothers and sisters.2 He died April 8, 1896, in Butler County, Iowa.

AG I MICHAEL DEARMOND (1748-1339), Columbia County, Penna.
Michael Dearmond, probably a son of John Diermond of County Donegal, Ireland,
was born in County Donegal in 1748. While still a lad, he entered the British Army
and served in India for a number of years.1 After this service ended, he emigrated to
America, and settled in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. He enlisted at Read-
ing, Pennsylvania, November, 1775, as a private, in Captain John Spohn's Company,
Colonel Magew's Pennsylvania Regiment, for service during the Revolutionary War.
On November 16, 1776, he was wounded in the Battle of Fort Washington, taken
prisoner and confined until February 1777, at which time he was released on parole.2
At the time of capture, he was with the 5th Battalion, Captain Benezet's Company.3
In November 1778, Michael took the oath of allegiance before Colonel Timothy
Green, Hanover township, Dauphin County,4 although his address was shown as Sun-
bury, Northumberland County, when he was taken prisoner in 1776.3 He was not
found in the 1790 or 1800 census but appeared in the 1810 census as living in London-
derry township, Northumberland County, with 1 male over 45; 2 males under 10; 1
female, 26-45; 2 females under 10.
He was afterwards recorded in Columbia County, but this may have been due to
the formation of that county from Northumberland County in 1813 rather than an
actual physical move by Michael. He owned "a small lot" consisting of 506 acres of
land, located 5 miles from Danville.1 In 1818, he made application for a pension, giving
as his residence, Columbia County, and his age as 70.2 The certification of the pension
by William Montgomery, Judge, comments on his extreme poverty. No explanation
was given of the whereabouts of his children. In 1820, he made a statement in Open
Court at Danville, Columbia County, that he was 72 years old, a shoemaker by trade
but unable to pursue his trade because of bad eyesight; his wife dead and none of his
family living with him.2
He was recorded in 1820s and in 18256 as still receiving a Revolutionary War Pen-
sion. In 1834, a recapitulation of his pension payments was made to the U. S. Senate,
and later historians reading the poorly constructed statement judged him to be 86
years of age at the time of commencement of his pension, although he was actually 86
years old in 1834 when the report was written.7
He died in 1839, at his home near Danville, at the age of 91, and is buried in a
cemetery at Danville. Last payment on his pension was made April 6, 1838, at the
Girard Bank, Philadelphia, to Michael Tracy, attorney for the pensioner.8
His wife was Hester McMahon (b. 1765-1784; d. 1820) .a

AC II JOHN DeARMOND (cl804-1848), Fulton County, Illinois
John DeArmond, son of Michael Dearniond and Hester McMahon, was born in
Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, about 1804. In 1813, Columbia County was
formed from part of Northumberland County, and presumably John found himself,
along with his father, in another county. He is first found in the 1840 census for
Liberty township, listed apart from his father and with his own family.1 He was living
in or near Danville when his father died in 1839.
Sometime after 1840, he removed to Illinois, where he apparently followed the
pursuit of farming. He may have settled first in Sangamon County2 but if so, did not
tarry there long as he was living in Fulton County when he died, February 20, 1848.3
He married, in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, about 1825, Elizabeth Campbell
(b. 1808, Ireland), daughter of William Campbell' and Nancy McMullen. Since her
father settled near Canton, Illinois, about 1848, it is possible that his removal there
from Pennsylvania was occasioned by the widowhood of his daughter and probable that
they made their home together afterwards.4 The date of her death is not known but
Cora May DeArmond Davidson (q.v.) says that Elizabeth spent the winter of 1884 in
Cora May's father's home and was 76 years old that year. "She enjoyed her cup of tea
and made tomato preserves, using sorghum molasses."

in 1846. Their son William born Columbia County, Penna., Feb. 1826, moved to Atchison County,

farmer; a man of determination and enterprise. He is reputed to have died at the age
of 94 or 96, but since he was considered for many years to have been born in 1790,
this cannot be relied upon.

AG HI JUDGE DAVID ALBAUGH DeARMOND (1844-1909), Butler, Missouri
Judge David Albaugh DeArmond, son of James DeArmond and Catherine Albaugh,
was born at Altoona, Blair County, Pennsylvania, March 18, 1844. His father removed
to Davenport, Iowa, in 1866, and it is presumed that David moved with his father.
He eventually settled in Bates County, Missouri, and in 1884, was a presidential elector
on the democratic ticket of Cleveland and Hendricks. He was a Missouri State Senator
from 1879 to 1883, and was Missouri Supreme Court Commissioner in 1884. He was
elected to the U. S. House of Representatives, and served from March 4, 1891 until
his death.1 He was a man of strong character and a caustic tongue, which coupled with
his prodigious memory and comprehensive knowledge of the Constitution, made of
him a dreaded adversary. Many a Congressional opponent has had cause to regret he
tangled with the Missouri representative. His nephew, Louis D'Armand, has this to
say of his uncle: "After absorbing all his adversary had to offer, he would rise, face
old Joe Cannon and draw his words and sentences across the finest file ever used in
Congress."
He lost his life when his home burned and he went back into the burning building
to save the life of his grandson. Both perished in the flames, November 23, 1909. The
entire nation was shocked at the tragic death of one of the most colorful and dynamic
personalities in the U. S. Congress. He is buried in Oak Hill cemetery, Butler, Missouri.
He married Alice M. Long, of Greenfield, Missouri.

THOMAS DEARMOND
of
Northumberland County, Pennsylvania
and
descendants
Thomas was the American sire of a prolific and distinguished family. Two of his
sons remained in Pennsylvania, and the descendants of one of them are still residing
in Northumberland County. The other two sons settled in Ohio, and left many de-
scendants who assumed a prominent part in the development of Butler and Hamilton
Counties. For many years, the family has held a reunion each summer for the renewal
of family ties, and the exchange of news and family history. As a result, a rich store
of family history has been preserved, which was generously shared with this author and
has been included in this work.
From Ohio, some descendants moved into other sections of the country, but for the
most part, the family has remained rooted in Butler County, and today forms a part
of the government and cultural life of the community.

AG I THOMAS DEARMOND (cl735-cl811), Northumberland County, Penna.
Thomas Dearmond, son of Alexander Diermond of County Donegal, North Ireland,
was born in North Ireland about 1735. He came to America as a young man, and
settled first in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. His wife, who was French, died in
childbirth soon after his arrival, and he returned to Ireland for another bride.1 He
was first recorded on June 28, 1768, in a caveat proceedings by Robert Dunbar, involv-
ing title to his land which had been improved about 1758 by Joseph Scott and sold
by him to Thomas Dearmond, who in turn sold it to Alexander Miller, who sold it to
Archibald Stewart, who was then living on it.2 No location was given but it was prob-
ably in Dauphin County. One history says he emigrated from Scotland to Ireland and
from there to America,3 but this is perhaps only partly true since the family was
apparently established in North Ireland before Thomas was born.
He served during the Revolutionary War, 1776-1779, as a private in Captain Alex-
ander Lawson Smith's company, Rawling's Regiment, Continental Troops (which later
became Capt. Gabriel Long's Company, Morgan's Rifle Regiment, Continental Troops) .
He enlisted, August 17, 1776, and his name last appeared on the company payroll for
July 1779, which bore no remarks. His name was recorded variously as 'Thomas De-
Armot', 'Thomas Dearmott', 'Thomas DearmonV
By 1783, Thomas was living in Turbot township, Northumberland County, with
150 acres of land." On December 26, 1786, he purchased additional land.' The 1790
census shows his family as consisting of himself, wife, and four sons.' On November
18, 1791, he was listed on the roll of pay for the Volunteer Corps of Scouts, employed
on frontiers of Allegheny County for 8 days.8 On September 8, 1793, he purchased
from Frederick Watts, property in Turbot township.9 The 1800 census reveals that his
family was breaking up, two sons being gone, and a third one married.10 On December
20, 1805, he sold property in Turbot township to John Hower.9 The 1810 census shows
him a widower, living with his two youngest sons, including the wife and children of
Samuel.11 On September 4, 1811, he sold to his "son, Samuel DeArmond", property
located in Turbot township.12 On October 22, 1811, he transferred to the Warrior Run
Presbyterian Church congregation, property in Turbot township.13 No further record
of him has been found, and it is presumed that he died, 1811-1812.
After the death of his first wife, he returned to Ireland and married Peggy King
(b. bl755; d. 1800-1810, Northumberland County, Penna.), and brought her to his home
in Dauphin County. This may have occurred about 1766.1

part, "Grandpap (Samuel Hardin DeArmond) told me the family was driven from France by persecu-
tion. He seemed to think all of the name had to leave. He thought that only one came to America
from Ireland (Thomas Dearmond) and his wife was French but did not live long after they arrived
here, when her first baby was born and died. He went back to Ireland and Married Peggy King
and they lived in Western Pennsylvania."

DeARMOND FAMILIES
AG II KING DeARMOND (1767-1844), Butler County, Ohio
King DeArmond, son of Thomas DcArmond and Peggy King, was born in Dauphin
County, Pennsylvania, in 1767. About 1783, he removed with his parents to North-
umberland County, Pennsylvania, where he grew to manhood and married. In 1806,
he and his family, in company with his brother Alexander and his family, came down
the Ohio River in a flatboat seeking new homes. They turned up the Great Miami
River near Cincinnati, and then up the Whitewater. They pushed the flatboat up
the Whitewater to a point about 2 miles above Harrison, where they landed. King
located on land about 14 mile west of what is now Shandon, Ohio, which is now
known as the Atherton farm. A log house which stood east of the present farmhouse
was his home.1 He lived out his life in this log house; all his children who were born
after he reached Ohio were born there. He was a justice of the peace as early as 1811,
and became a successful farmer and planter. He died at his home, October 24, 1844,
and is buried at Shandon, Ohio.
He married first, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, about 1804, Hannah
Hardin (b. 1781; d. 1828; g. Shandon, Ohio), daughter of Samuel Hardin.
He married second, Lydia Demoret (b. 1774; d. Feb. 2, 1867, Butler County, Ohio),

Biddinger's sawmills and is owned by Sam DeArmond. It was built by Reuben George. The other

2. Ibid., p. 453, also, a letter to the author by Iris Warrington, Oxford, Ohio, dated January 28, 1950,
which reads in part, "I found an old deed in which King DeArmond conveyed a certain piece of
property to Lydia 'who is to live sole and apart'. Her brother, Nicholas, is mentioned in the deed
which made King no longer responsible for her upkeep". A narrow interpretation of this document
would indicate that King had regretted his marriage to Lydia Demoret.

AG II ALEXANDER DeARMOND (1769-1833), Butler County, Ohio
Alexander DeArmond, son of Thomas DeArmond and Peggy King, was born in
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, October 16, 1769, and moved with his father to Turbot
township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, about 1783, where he grew to man-
hood and married. In 1804, he came to Ohio on horseback to scout a new homesite.1
After he found what he wanted, he rode back to Pennsylvania and returned to Ohio
with his brother, King, and their families, by flatboat down the Ohio River. They
entered the mouth of the Great Miami River and then up the Whitewater River. They
pushed the flatboat up the Whitewater about 2 miles above Harrison, where they landed.
After their arrival, the Indians stole their horses. Alexander settled for about two years
on what was later the Wash Mettler farm, on the Harrison and Brookville pike. After
living for a short time in the Whitewater Valley, he moved to Morgan township and
settled on land which is now known as the Pop Otto farm. He entered this section of
land. The log house in which he lived stood on the premises and not far from the
264

houses on the Pop Otto farm. This log house was afterwards torn down and rebuilt
in Okeana and became the home of Harry DeArmond. He died April 24, 1833, at the
age of 63.

AG II ROBERT K. DeARMOND (1784-1826), Northumberland County, Penna.
Robert K. DeArmond, son of Thomas Dearmond and Peggy King, was born in 1784,
probably in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. He continued to live in Turbot
township, and accumulated considerable property.1 He may have followed the pursuit
of farming, although there is no clear record on this point. He died at the early age of
266 DeARMOND FAMILIES
42, July 26-29, 1826. We are indebted to his will for the identification of the sons ol
Thomas Dearmond, his father, since being without living issue, Robert hoped to per-
petuate his name through the children of his brothers.2 The bulk of his estate was
left to the Penuel Church, of which he was a member, for the maintenance of the
pastor's salary.
He married, prior to 1810, although the name of his wife has not been found.3
She predeceased him, and both were buried in the same plot." It is possible to assume
from the census record that he had a son who may have died in infancy.3

AG IV JAMES THOMAS DeARMOND (1844-1903), Shandon, Ohio
James Thomas DeArmond, son of Thomas DeArmond and Anna Youmans, was
born on his father's farm, near Okeana, Ohio, March 28, 1844. In early years, he at-
tended a private college at Peoria, Indiana, as it was the desire of his very devout mother
and sisters that he become a minister. He was not inclined that way, and enlisted for
service with the federal troops during the Civil War, for which he received a pension
in his later years. After the war ended, he returned to his home, and followed the
pursuit of farming for the remainder of his active life. After his children reached school
age, he moved from the farm to Shandon, Ohio, to be near good schools. He had many
excellent traits and was well liked by friends and acquaintances, but had a weakness for
strong drink which caused his wife, Amanda, to divorce him, after which she supported
the family by her own endeavors. He died in Hamilton, Ohio, February 20, 1903, and
is buried at Shandon, Ohio. His grave marker reads: "Co. F, 93rd Ohio Infantry".

ment of the community.

JOHN DeARMENT
of
Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania
and
descendants
This immigrant ancestor of the Crawford County, Pennsylvania, family, may have
come to America accompanied by several brothers, whose names must, in absence of
better proof, be speculative. The Geographical Index of Unidentified Names shows
several of the name in Allegheny, Washington and Westmoreland Counties, Pennsyl-
vania, whose indicated ages would preclude any relationship other than that of brother
or cousin. These names disappear from Pennsylvania records after 1800, and all efforts
to trace their descendants have been fruitless.
John apparently settled finally in Crawford County, although no actual record of
him there has been located. Most of his descendants remained there, and participated
in the growth and development of the county.
This is an imperfect account since neither the marriage, deed or will records for
Crawford County have been searched. An intensive local search could easily develop
this record into a comprehensive and complete history of this family.

302 DeARMOND FAMILIES
AG I JOHN DeARMENT (cl750-al812), Westmoreland County, Penna.
John DeArment, son of John Diermond of Fersalmore, Parish of Leek, County
Donegal, North Ireland, was born about 1750, in County Donegal, Ireland.1 He emi-
grated to America, and came into Pennsylvania through Maryland, and settled first in
Newton township, Cumberland County, where he was listed in 1779 as "John Deyermond,
freeman," for supply tax, 3 pounds.2 He was afterwards shown on August 2, 1782, in
the Class Roll of 2nd Company, 6th Battalion, Cumberland County Militia, commanded
by Colonel James Dunlap, as "1st Class, John Dearmin", Associators and Militia.4
He is found in the 1790 U. S. census for Mifflin County, as living in that part of
the county lying north of the Juniata River, with 1 male over 16; 3 males under 16; 4
women. He soon after removed to Westmoreland County, in the western part of the
state, where he was listed as having received depreciation pay.4 Apparently, he moved
north into Crawford County, and settled in Fallowfield township about 1800.
There were several other persons of the name living in Allegheny, Washington and
Westmoreland Counties subsequent to the Revolution, some of whom may have been
his brothers.6 No later record of him has been found unless the payroll record for Capt.
John Collom's militia company covering the winter campaign of 1812-1813, which
records "John Dearmid, service 6 months, $20.00, paid at Erie," refers to him. His son,
John Cook DeArment, is shown alongside in that payroll.8 The date of his death is
not known and no census record of him subsequent to 1790 has been found.
His wife was Nancy Cook7 whom he must have married in Ireland, since the 1850
census shows his son, John Cook, as having been born there in 1780.

AG II JOHN COOK DeARMENT (1780-1856), Crawford County, Penna.
John Cook DeArment, son of John DeArment and Nancy Cook, was born in Ireland
in 1780,2 and brought as a very small child to America by his parents. His parents re-
moved to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, sometime after 1790, and about 1800,
the family moved north into Crawford County, and settled in Fallowfield township.
John Cook was still living in Fallowfield township at the time of his marriage. After-
wards, he settled in Greenwood township.
He served in the War of 1812, in the 7th Company, Capt. John Collom, command-
ing; 2nd Battalion, 136th Regiment, Major D. Nelson, commanding; 1 B 16 Militia
Division, General H. H. Harrison, commanding. He enlisted as a private and may have
achieved the rank of sergeant. Since two of the name signed one payroll, it is possible
that his father served as ensign in the same company."
He spent the remainder of his life farming on the place he settled after 1820.2 He
died in February, 1856.3
He married, December 6, 1810, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, Mary Minnis1 (b.
1785; d. July 28, 1880) ,8 of Sandy Lake, Mercer County, Pennsylvania.'

a soldier of 1812, who died twenty-four years ago last February, aged over seventy years. They came
from the southern part of the state in 1800 and Mrs. DeArment has lived on the farm, where she
died, for more than seventy years. From her youth, she had been a consistent member of the Presby-
terian Church, and beloved by a large circle of acquaintances as a neighbor and friend. She retained
her mental faculties quite clear and vigorous to the last. Without doubt notwithstanding her great
age, her life was materially shortened by a cancer, with which she had for sometime suffered. Her
funeral last Sabbath, was attended by a large number of people from near and far. The sermon was
preached bv Rev. David Waggoner of Venangoboro, Pa., who had known the deceased for forty
years."

AG III WILSON DeARMENT (1818-?), San Antonio, Texas
Wilson DeArment, son of John Cook DeArment and Mary Minnis, was born in
Crawford County, Pennsylvania, June 1818. Sometime after his second marriage and
while his children were still quite young, he removed to San Antonio, Texas, apparently
for reasons of health. Whether he later returned to Pennsylvania or continued to make
his home in Texas, is not known to this biographer.1
He married first, Mary Gelvin, by whom he had two children, according to informa-
tion supplied by relatives in Crawford County, Pennsylvania.
He married second, Margaret Spangler, by whom he also had issue.

George Birch DeArment, son of James DeArment and Evaline Burch, was born in
Crawford County, Pennsylvania, May 26, 1853. After his marriage, he lived for awhile at
Oil City, Pennsylvania, but in 1886, he started a tool manufacturing industry at Con-
neaut Lake, a village not far from where he was reared. The business thrived and grew
to such proportions that in 1904, he removed to Meadville, in the same county. This
industry became the Champion DeArment Tool Company, and its products have attained
a nation-wide reputation. Soon after removing to Meadville, he built a home at 263
Randolph Street, which he continued to occupy until his death. He died May 5, 1917,
and funeral services were conducted by Dr. William B. Irwin, pastor, First Presbyterian
Church, on Tuesday, May 22, 1917, interment being in Greendale cemetery.1 Because
of his personal integrity and business acumen, he was a man highly esteemed over a

? MICHAEL DEARMONT
of
Kent County, Maryland
and
descendants
There is much uncertainty about the history of this family. On the surface, the
early records were contradictory, and it has been well nigh impossible to discern the
truth. The immigrant ancestor, whose name we do not know, and to whom we have
assigned the arbitrary name of "Michael" as a means of identification, may have been
a brother of William Dearmond of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (Line C) . He
was, of course, closely related to the other immigrant members of the DeArmond family
since many of the early Pennsylvania families used the same spelling.
This outline follows only those of this family who settled in Virginia, as the others
disappeared, and no trace of them has been found. The Virginia descendants divided,
one family remaining in northern Virginia, and the other settling in Missouri.
The author has spent years pondering this family but the results were unrewarding.
Possibly, descendants of the lost members of this family can, by use of this account and
their more intimate knowledge of their particular ancestors, find some of the solutions
that eluded him.

DeARMOND FAMILIES
AG I 7MICHAEL DEARMONT of Harford County, Maryland
This man, the immigrant ancestor of this family must have been born in North
Ireland about 1730, and emigrated to America apparently after 1760. His first name is
not known with absolute certainty, but the frequent appearance of 'Michael' among
his descendants lends credence to the assumption of that name for him. He probably
came up the Delaware River, landed at Newcastle, and settled in Delaware or Mary-
land, between the upper reaches of Chesapeake Bay and Delaware River. Apparently,
he died before 1790, as no record has been found of him in the 1790 census.
His wife, Mary Dearmont, is listed in the 1790 census for Harford County, Maryland,
as "Mary Dearmatt, with two females in family; no others." She was born, presumably,
in Ireland between 1740 and 1750. After the death of her son, William, Mary removed
to Virginia, and lived with her son, John Dearmont (q.v.) , until her death.
The names of the children of this union have been determined from their early
movements and the similarity and spelling of names. William, Michael, and James,
were recorded in Virginia before and during the Revolutionary War but John remained
in Maryland until after the death of his brother, William. Peter appears in Virginia
for the first time in 1810.

AG II WILLIAM DEARMONT (cl750-cl793), Fauquier County, Va.
William Dearmont, son of PMichael and Mary Dearmont of Kent County, Maryland,
was born, probably, in North Ireland, and brought as a boy by his parents to America,
where he was reared either in Delaware or Maryland.
He appeared in Fauquier County, Virginia, in 1771, along with his brother, Michael,
on the list of Irish emigrants who found their way into the Shenandoah Valley prior
to the Revolutionary War. He served during the Revolution in Colonel Fry's Regi-
ment, his name being carried on the rolls throughout the war, from 1778 to 1783.1 His
grandson told his children that William also served in the French and Indian Colonial
Wars, and that he was with Washington at the defeat of Braddock.2
According to family legend, William died while his children were quite young,
apparently about 1793, as all of his children appear to have been born between 1790
and 1794. The 1810 census lists his widow, Mary, as living in Frederick County, Virginia,
with her two sons and daughter.8 The 1820 census for Frederick County lists her son,
Michael, as head of the household which included his mother, brother and sister.4 The
1830 census does not show Mary or the family entity, indicating that she had died and
her children were scattered.
Family legend also says that William's children were reared by his bachelor brother,
John Dearmont (q.v.) . Undoubtedly, through his efforts, he provided a home and
sustenance for them, leaving to their mother the responsibility of rearing them and
maintaining the home.2

AG II JOHN DEARMONT (al760-bl840), Fauquier County, Va.
John Dearmont, son of PMichael and Mary Dearmont of Kent County, Maryland,
was born 1760-1770, probably in Delaware after his parents reached America. He grew
to manhood in Newcastle County.
He served during the Revolution as a private in Captain John Boggs' Company,
2nd battalion, Delaware Militia, commanded by Colonel Couch. His name appeared
on the company muster roll covering the period from December 17 to 27, year not
shown. He was also shown in Captain Carson's Company, 2nd Regiment, Newcastle
County, Delaware Militia, rank not stated. His name appears on an undated return
of the absentees in the Western District of White Claycreek on Muster Days, September
26, 1778 and October 31, which shows: "Days 2".1 He served as a substitute from Har-
ford County, Maryland, in the Maryland Militia, from May to December 10, 1781.*
He is shown in the 1790 census for Harford County as living alone."
Later, he moved into Virginia, and settled in Fauquier County. His brother,
William, died about 1793, and after the death of his brother, Peter, in 1811, John
LINE G-DEARMONT FAMILY 317
assumed the responsibility of providing for William's widow and children. They con-
tinued to live on the farm which Peter had leased from the Fairfax heirs in 1793.4
The 1810 census for Frederick County, Virginia, lists Peter Dearmont with 2 males
over 45; 3 females over 45. This undoubtedly includes John but not his nephews and
niece since they were separately listed with their mother, Mary Dearmont. The three
females remain unidentified except that one was probably John's mother.
John is himself listed in the 1830 census for Frederick County, Virginia, age 60-70,
living alone with his mother, age 80-90. All histories and family legends say he lived
out his life in Fauquier County surrounded by his brother's descendants, and Peter
Dearmont of Mound City, Missouri, remembered him there when he (Peter) was a
child.4 However, the census records show him in Frederick County through 1830 and he
is not listed thereafter, indicating he may have died between 1830 and 1840. He never
married.

AG II PETER DEARMONT (cl760-1811), Frederick County, Va.
Peter Dearmont, son of PMichael and Mary Dearmont of Kent County, Maryland,
was born 1760-1770, perhaps after his father reached America. He is first recorded on
April 6, 1793, when he leased from Denny Fairfax, 100 acres in Frederick County, Vir-
ginia, for the period of the natural life of himself, his brother, John, and his nephew,
Michael . . .* On this farm, he established himself, his brother, John, and the widow
and children of his deceased brother, William.
The 1810 census for Frederick County lists him with 2 males over 45; 3 females over
45. Presumably, this includes his brother, John, who does not appear elsewhere in that
census; one of the women listed may have been his mother.
He died in 1811, his will, dated June 5, and probated December 2, reading as fol-
lows: "I give to John Derman, Mary Derman, Ann Derman and Betsy Derman, all my
property during their natural lives and desire that these four persons shall live together
as long as each shall live". His nephew, Michael Dearmont [sic], was a witness.2 John
is easily identified as his brother; Mary, as his mother; the identity of the two last
named, Ann and Betsy, is speculative. Family legend says that both Peter and John
were bachelors, but the 1810 census, apparently, refutes this, as a logical interpretation
Would indicate Peter and John, their mother, and their wives, as living in the same
household.

AG III MICHAEL DEARMONT (cl790-cl854), Clarke County, Va.
Michael Dearmont, son of William and Mary Dearmont, was born 1790-1794, in
Fauquier County, Virginia. While he was a small child, his father died, and he and
his brother and sister were reared by his mother with the aid of his bachelor uncle, John
Dearmont. In 1810, the family was found in Frederick County, where they remained
until after 1830. Family legend says Michael was reared on his uncle John's mountain
home in Fauquier County which is still owned by the family of Washington Dearmont.1
Michael was for many years a builder of macadamized roads, and made a comfortable
fortune at the business. After he gave up road building, he bought a farm in Clarke
County, Virginia.1 He was in Prince William County in 1827, and the following year
appeared in the vicinity of White Post.2
His will, dated August 13, 1855, was probated October 22, 1855, and mentions his
wife, Lucy; daughter, Sally; and sons, John, James Thomas, and Washington. There
is no explanation for the omission of his son, Peter, from his will.3 We may assume he
died between August and October, 1855, although his brother, Peter, was listed as head
of his family in the 1850 census and Michael was not listed.
He married, October 25, 1826, Frederick County, Virginia, Lucinda Ferguson (b.

Peter Dearmont, son of William and Mary Dearmont, was born in Fauquier County,

sister were reared in Frederick County with the help of his uncle, John Dearmont. His
mother must have died after 1820 as she does not appear in the 1830 census. Peter
appears in the 1830 census for Frederick County, with 2 males, 20-30; 1 female, 30-40;
10 slaves, showing that he was a prosperous planter. The census also indicates that his
sister, Mary, had not yet married and was still living at home. The two males listed
LINE G-DEARMONT FAMILY 319
pose an enigma since Peter's brother, Michael, married in 1826 and was separately listed
in the 1830 census. Although Peter's uncle, John Dearmont, was also listed separately
in the same census, they were, according to family tradition, living together.
Peter does not appear in the 1840 census but does appear in the census for 1850
as head of the household of his brother, Michael.1 This is another mystery since Michael
did not die until 1855. All the names in this census record check with other histories
and family legend.
Peter died, apparently, in 1856, as an inventory was taken of his personal property
on October 27, 1856, by Washington Dearmont, administrator.2.
He never married.

AG IV COLONEL WASHINGTON DEARMONT (1828-?), Clarke County, Va.
Colonel Washington Dearmont, son of Michael Dearmont and Lucy Ferguson, was
born in Clarke County, Virginia, in 1828. He was reared on the farm where he was
born and grew up in the atmosphere of the Blue Ridge Mountains. After his father
died, while he was still a teen-age youth, the support of the younger members of the
family devolved on him. He is listed in the 1850 census as living in the household with
his uncle, Peter Dearmont, and as manager of the farm, aged 22.
He became a colonel of militia and was with his regiment in command of Win-
chester when the Civil War began. When Virginia seceeded from the Union, his regi-
ment and command passed to the Confederate Army. He later enlisted in Colonel John
S. Moseby's First Company of Guerillas and served through many raids with this famous
Confederate warrior.1
In civil life, he was chosen first supervisor of Greenway District, and was later elected
sheriff and treasurer at a time when these two offices were combined. He was a democrat
and a Mason.2
He married first, after 1850, a daughter of Strother Bell and Jane Ann Potts. His
brothers, Peter and James Thomas, married her sisters.
Issue: none.
He married second, Jane Bowen (Poague) , a widow (b. 1846, Berryville, Clarke
County, Va.). Her father was a resident of Clarke County, a captain of militia, and his
command took part in the John Brown raid. It is said that one of his men prevented
the escape of Brown. Jane Bowen had no children by her first marriage.2

Strictly speaking, Line H should represent all the descendants of Alexander Diermond

determine with any exactness the names of his children, we show under this line only
two, Letitia and Alexander, since their relationship as brother and sister cannot be
doubted. Thomas, who appears to be another son, is shown as the sire of Line E.
Letitia and Alexander married into the family of Robert Barnhill of Donegal. Letitia
accompanied Robert Barnhill's family to Nova Scotia, and Alexander followed them six
years later. Apparently, both families have remained in Nova Scotia, their descendants
being there today.

Chisolm, at Delbert, Londonderry. About 1820, the family removed to Michigan, U.S.A.*
He married Mary Fletcher, daughter of Thomas Fletcher of Masstown.

of
HUGH DEYARMONT
of
County Down, Ireland
Joseph, Alexander, Hugh, and David, presumably sons of Hugh Deyarmont of
County Down, emigrated to America about 1785, and settled first in Pennsylvania.
They made their homes in different counties, and David settled in Ohio. As early as
1875, their families appear to have almost lost the knowledge of the relationship between
them, and it is only through modern accessibility to old records that we re-establish the
fact that they were brothers.
Whether other sons of Hugh Deyarmont came to America cannot be determined
since no clear records of his family have been located.

AG I JOSEPH DEYARMON (1756-1824), Dauphin County, Penna.
Joseph Deyarmon, probably a son of Hugh Deyarmont of County Down, Ireland,
was born in Ireland, January 8, 1756. He was first listed in Hamilton township, Franklin
County, Pennsylvania, in 1789, for tax purposes, with taxables consisting of 2 horses,
3 cows.1 The 1790 U. S. census, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, for the district which
included Hamilton, Fannet, Letterkenny, Montgomery and Peters townships, listed
him with 1 male over 16; 1 male under 16; 3 women.2 In 1791, he was again listed with
taxables consisting of 2 horses, 2 cows, in Hamilton township, Franklin County.*
Before 1800, he removed to Dauphin County, and was listed in the 1800 census for
Londonderry township, and again in 1810 in the same township.4 He was also recorded
as living at Palmerstown [now Palmyra], Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, near the
Dauphin County line, at the time of the marriage of his daughter, Elizabeth, in 1806.6
He was again recorded as residing in Palmerstown in 1812." A document in the possession
of Miss Jessie E. Pocock of Medina, Ohio, in 1933, is an original agreement entered
into between Joseph Deyarmon and his son, Dr. Joseph C. Deyarmon, signed by both,
and Susanna and Mary S. Deyarman, under the terms of which Dr. Joseph C. Deyarmon
purchased 125 acres of land in Halifax township, Dauphin County, from his father, on
November 3, 1814, for $1500, $750 payable "May next" and S100 yearly on the first of
each April until the full amount was paid. The two families were to live together as
they had in the past, for six years from that date, or longer if either parent survived.
According to a survey of Joseph's plat, there was left after this sale, 22 acres, 3 rods and
26 perches. Joseph must have lived for a few years in Palmerstown but retaining his
farm in Dauphin County, to which he returned after 1812. He lived for 10 years after
entering into the agreement with his son, and died, December 2, 1824.
He married, January 29, 1787, Susanna Chapman (b. Dec. 25, 1755), daughter of
John Chapman and Mary Twining.

Dr. Joseph Chapman Deyarmon, son of Joseph Deyarmon and Susanna Chapman,
was born in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, June 20, 1795. He grew to manhood on
his father's farm, and obtained his education from nearby institutions. At the age of
19, soon after his marriage, he purchased his father's farm with the agreement that he
and his wife would continue to live with his father and mother as long as his parents
lived. His father died in 1824, and in 1828, Dr. Joseph moved to Wooster, Ohio. He
received a testimonial from the physicians of Harrisburg praising his character and skill
as a physician,1 and in 1830 secured from the medical society for the 23rd district of
Ohio, a license to practice medicine and surgery in Ohio.2 He later moved to Louden-
ville, Ohio, and finally to Ashland. He died, February 2, 1850.

AG III CHRISTIAN SPAYD DeARMOND (1820-1898), Loudenville, Ohio
Christian Spayd DeArmond, son of Dr. Joseph Chapman Deyarmon and Phebe
Stubbs, was born in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, November 3, 1820. He was taken
to Ohio as a child by his parents, and grew to manhood at Wooster and later, Louden-
ville. He became a cabinetmaker by trade and lived on a farm at the outskirts of
Loudenville, in Ashland County. He later moved to town, and owned and operated a
grain elevator, and was a dealer in grain, seeds and wool. He also owned and operated
a planing mill. He served as mayor of Loudenville, was an ardent Republican, and a
lifelong Methodist. As a boy, before the outbreak of the Civil War, he and his brothers
helped operate the "underground railway", accompanying as guards the wagons appar-
ently loaded with a jag of hay or bagged grain. His father's place at Millbrook, west of
Wooster, was too public to use as a station on the underground, since patients were
constantly coming and going, so a widow's home nearby was used, and the brothers did
the transporting of the escaping slaves to the next point north of Wooster. He sent two
substitutes to the Civil War, as he was a 'one lunger' and not eligible to serve.1
On February 11, 1841, letters of administration were issued to him for the Estate
of Joseph Deyarmon, bond being given for $300, for the purpose of sale of real estate.
This was undoubtedly the estate of his grandfather.2 He died November 26, 1898, at
Loudenville, and is buried there in a cemetery which he had beautified with avenues
of maple trees.
He married, March 28, 1844, Caroline Eliza Harris (b. Sept. 15, 1820; d. Apr. 26,

Alexander Deyarmon, probably a son of Hugh Deyarmont of County Down, Ireland,
was bom at Cargy Gray, Annahilt Parish, County Down, Ireland, in 1765, and came to
America as a young man. The first record of him is found in a newspaper account of
early American papermaking which stated that Alexander Deyarmon, a skilled paper-
maker, was the chief vatman. The paper mill was located on Redstone Creek, Fayette
County.3 He did not appear in the 1800 census but is found in the 1810 census with
his wife, stepchildren and his own eldest children.1
His farm in Jefferson township became known as "Clifton". This part of the family
history is a contradiction of the census records which show him living in Washington
township. Family records also say he died in 1852, but again census records are not in
agreement as he disappears completely after the 1830 census.
He married Jane (Russell) (b. 1765-1775; d. 1851), a widow. She had two sons by
her first marriage: William Russell and Boyd Russell.2

in the Sharpless household. The chief vatman was Alexander Deyarmon, a skilled papermaker,
although locally regarded as an eccentric religious fanatic." The author quotes from Pittsburgh

DeARMOND FAMILIES
AG I HUGH DEYARMON, SR. (1766-1811), Uniontown, Pennsylvania
Hugh Deyarmon, senior, probably a son of Hugh Deyarmont of County Down, Ire-
land, was born at Cargy Gray, Annahilt Parish, County Down, Ireland, about 1766.
He came to America as a young man and is first found in the list of "free and ablebodied
males between the ages of 18 and 45 inhabiting within the bounds of the 5th Battalion
of Cumberland County [Penna.] militia", list being dated February 4, 1793.1 He is sup-
posed to have settled in Fayette County about 18002 but no census record of him in
1800 has been found. Where he spent the intervening years cannot be learned. Appar-
ently, he settled, cleared and farmed, the land where he made his home.
According to Grover R. Deyarmon (q.v.) of Old, Iowa, he was killed at the age of
45 by a fall from a horse. Since his youngest child was born in 1811 and his widow's
first child by her second marriage was born in 1813, we assume his death must have
occurred about 1811.
He married Elizabeth Spratt (b. 1776, Ireland), who, according to family tradition,
came to America on the same boat with Hugh and married him soon after. Within two
years after her husband's death, Elizabeth remarried.8 In 1850, Elizabeth was living in
the household of her son, Alexander Deyarmon (q.v.) , and apparently again a widow.*
The date of her death has not been determined.

AG II D. BENJAMIN DeuARMON (1800-1837), Huntsville, Alabama
D. Benjamin DeuArmon, son of Hugh Deyarmon, Sr. of Uniontown, Pennsylvania,
and Isabella Spratt, was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania,1 March 1, 1800. He was
reared on his father's farm, and continued to live there after his father's death, about
1811, and his mother's remarriage. He left home, probably about 1820, and went to
Knoxville, Tennessee, to study medicine.2 Why he chose Knoxville, and whether he
took, his studies at the University of Tennessee which did not then have a College of
Medicine, cannot be learned. The enrollment records of the University of Tennessee
for those early years have been lost. His presence in Knoxville has been established by
the record of his appointment as administrator of the Estate of James Simpson in 1822."
He is next found in the 1830 census for Madison County, Alabama, as Benjamin
DeuArmand with 3 males, 20-30; 1 male, 15-20; indicating that he was a bachelor and
that perhaps his younger brothers were living with him, although Alexander married
before 1825 and records do not indicate that he ever left Pennsylvania. Hugh Hadden
Deyarmon, Sr., recalled that he saw his Uncle Benjamin at Uniontown, Pennsylvania,
in 1835. Hugh Hadden was then 10 years of age and capable of remembering accurately.
Apparently, Benjamin had returned to Pennsylvania on a visit.1 Whether his wife
accompanied him on this visit is not known. He died October 6, 1837, at Huntsville,
Alabama.
He married about 1831, Emma J. - (b. April 20, 1811, N. C; d. Apr. 18, 1850,
Madison County, Ala.) .* After the death of her husband, she remained a widow for
a few years.6 She was not listed in the 1840 census for Madison County but was there
in 1843." In 1842, she joined the M. E. Church, and on July 16, 1844, she married
William Lanford of Madison County.4
Issue: none.
1. Letter written by H. H. Deyarmon to C. S. Deyarmon, dated April 30, 1878, says that his Uncle
Benjamin was born at Uniontown, Penna., and he saw him there about 1835. See Alexander
Deyarmon, footnote 2.
2. D. A. Smith of Lincoln, Nebraska, said he was a grandson of Alexander Deyarmon and that Alex-
ander's brother, Benjamin, went to Knoxville at an early date to study medicine, and later became
an M. D.

J., wife of William Lanford. Born in North Carolina on April 20, 1811. In the year 1818 moved to
this county. In 1831 or about that time, married to Dr. Duarmon of Madison County, where she
resided a number of years. After his decease, she remained a widow for several years. In 1844 on
16 July, she married William Lanford of this county. In 1842 joined the M. E. Church . . .".

AG II ALEXANDER DEYARMON (1802-al877), Uniontown, Pennsylvania
Alexander Deyarmon, Senior, son of Hugh Deyarmon, senior, and Isabelle Spratt,
was born at Uniontown, Pennsylvania, October 27, 1802. He grew up on his father's
farm, and lived his entire life there, following the pursuit of farming. Whether he
purchased his brothers' interest in the farm or received it under their wills at their
deaths has not been determined. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church for
about 50 years and served many years as an elder.1 He was still living on April 30, 1878.2
He married first, Phoebe Hadden (b. 1800-1810; d. bl840), by whom he had seven

2. Letter written by Hugh Hadden Deyarmon, Sr. to Christian Spayd Deyarmon, Loudenville, Ohio,
dated April 30, 1878:
"Dear Sir: I received yours of the 22nd inst. and take this time to reply. I am sure from your
letter that we are of the same family. My father's name was Alexander and he is brother to the D.
Benjamin you speak of. Their father was Hugh and he settled near Uniontown, Fayette County, Pa.,
about 1800. My father Alexander was born there, 1801. I was born there 1825 and recollect of
seeing Benjamin there sometime about 1835. H died soon after at Huntsville, Ala. I also recollect
hearing my father talking of his uncle living in the eastern part of the state. [This undoubtedly
refers to Joseph Deyarmon of Dauphin County, Penna.] My father is still living near Uniontown,
Pa., on the same farm he was born on; he is now in his 78th year. I have been living in the state
of Wisconsin for about 25 years, have been in Florida about 3 years. By chance got in conversation
with your Mr. Grabill and gave him one of our circulars, telling him I thought we were of the
same stock, as I had never heard of but two families of our name in the U. S. Hoping to hear
from you again soon and more at length, I am . . ."
3. Author's notes record the marriage of William Henry Deyarmon, son of Alexander Deyarmon to
Elsa Deyarmon of Wellsburg, Pa., daughter of David Deyarmon. She is not accredited to either
David Deyarmon of Fayette County, Penna. or David DeYarmon of Mt. Pleasant, Ohio.

Hugh Hadden Deyarmon, Sr., son of Alexander Deyarmon and Phoebe Hadden,
was born at Uniontown, Pennsylvania, February 27, 1825.1 He left home about 1850 and
lived at Eau Claire, Wisconsin, for about 25 years, then moved to Florida,2 and was a
pioneer of Orange City, where he built the first house in 1875.* None of the records
indicate the nature of his business, but we are indebted to him for the letter written
in 1878 to his cousin about his family. Without this letter, now 75 years old, it would
have been impossible to reconstruct this family. He died, July 16, 1894, Orange City,
Florida, and is buried there.

near Cincinnati, O. and Orange City, Florida. As my Grandfather was married more than once,
I have often thought they might possibly be related. I failed to state that I am a son of Thomas
Deyarmon, aged 35. Alex DeYarmon of Dayton, O. has four sons; one of them, Thomas, is in

GEORGE DERMON
of
Mifflin County, Pennsylvania
and
some descendants
The age and the given names which appear among the known descendants of this
emigrant from northern Ireland indicate that he may have been a son of John Diermond
of County Donegal, and therefore, a brother of John DeArment [Line F] of Westmore-
land County, Pennsylvania.
No positive record of him has been identified beyond 1790, but since he was well
advanced in years by 1800, it is possible that he lived out his life in Mifflin County,
Pennsylvania. There are strong indications that his sons moved into the western part
of the state, and from there into newer parts of the country. Only one son, George, Jr.,
has been identified with any degree of certainty.
Undoubtedly, there are many descendants of this Pennsylvania pioneer, but they
cannot be identified without the individual family records of each descendant.

382 DeARMOND FAMILIES
AG I GEORGE DERMON OF MIFFLIN COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
George Dermon, born, apparently, in Donegal County, Ireland, may have been a
son of John Diermond of County Donegal. He was first listed as George Diermont, as
one of the Battoe men, hired in service of the Province of Pennsylvania, June 21, 1757,
all of whom were from the neighborhood of Harris' Ferry.1 He is next listed in Armagh
township, Cumberland County, in 1779, for tax purposes, with taxables consisting of
no acres, 1 horse, 1 cattle,2 and again in 1780 with one horse.3 He appears again in
178T and 17825 with 1 horse and 1 cattle. He served in the Revolutionary War between
the years 1778-1783, as a private from Cumberland County, and received pay for his
services.*
In 1789, Mifflin County was formed from Cumberland County and included Armagh
township, and we find George listed in the 1790 census for Mifflin County with 1 male
over 16; 2 males under 16; 2 women. In 1800, the Mifflin County census lists George
Daughman.8 If this is our subject, it can be interpreted as including him, his wife,
some of his children, their wives and children.'

or went there as a young man, is not known. In 1820, he was in Kentucky when his
daughter, Mary, was born. Sometime before 1830, he removed to Monroe County,
Indiana, apparently taking his entire family with him.1 He was listed in the 1850

George Dearmon, son of John and Rebecca Dearmon, was born in Virginia [probably
that portion which is now West Virginia] in 1806. He was taken by his parents from
there to Kentucky, and then to Monroe County, Indiana, sometime before 1830.1 In

JOSEPH DEARMAN
of
Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania
and
family
It is very doubtful if this early Pennsylvania settler is a descendant of the d'Armand
family of France. It is more likely that he sprang from the DEARMAN family of
England. There are many descendants of that family now living in Alabama and Mis-
sissippi whose name is pronounced "deer - mun".
Since this subject was for many years accredited as the father of Joseph Deyarmon
[Line J-I], the author feels his record should be shown herein to prevent the later
assumption that his omission from this account had been an oversight.
AG I JOSEPH DEARMAN (?-1831), Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania
Joseph Dearman, a prosperous farmer living in Lower Dublin township, Philadelphia
County, Pennsylvania, was first listed in 1774 for provincial tax,1 and in 1779 was shown
as tax collector for Lower Dublin township; and also for taxes for the year 1780 with
taxables valued at $1500, tax being lbs 31.17.6.2 He was again listed in 1782 and 1783.1
The federal census for 1790, Philadelphia County, listed him with two women only in
family, apparently representing his wife and daughter.
He served in the Revolutionary War, and later in the Philadelphia County militia,
with the rank of captain.4
He died in Philadelphia County in 1831, his will being dated January 9, 1827, and
probated in 1831. The will mentioned his daughter and two granddaughters.5
The name of his wife is unknown.

DeARMAN FAMILY
of
Rockcastle County, Kentucky
and
known descendants
It has been impossible to identify the immigrant or first American ancestor of this
family. So many of the second American generation moved out of Pennsylvania, Mary-
land and Virginia, and left no trace of their movements that, as a result, there are
numerous descendants whose complete American ancestry has not been established, this
being a notable example.
It is hoped that later research may reveal records which will link this distinguished
family to its earlier members.
KG I DeARMAN FAMILY OF ROCKCASTLE COUNTY, KENTUCKY
The identity of the first member of this family to settle in Kentucky is not established,
but there is a record of John Armond who obtained military warrant number 1863 for
100 acres of land in Kentucky, dated November 6, 1784, for services as a soldier of the
Virginia line for three years.1 Since the location of this grant was not given, it is
impossible to determine if this man is the father of the younger persons found in Rock-
castle County in 1810 or later years. Since the courthouse of Rockcastle County was
destroyed by fire in the nineteenth century, there are no early land title records for the
county.
Kentucky was a part of Virginia when this land warrant was issued and many of the
settlers were soldiers of the Revolutionary War being rewarded for service to their mother
state with grants of land in this virgin section of the state. Assuming that this family is
descended from earlier Virginia members of the family, we must face the fact that the
Virginia records of our family are incomplete, and it has been impossible to establish
any order or relationship among the few records which have been collected.
No further record of this man has been found.

KG III JOHN DeARMAN (1798-1869), Benton County, Alabama
John DeArman, son of Jonathon Dearman, was born in Rockcastle County, Kentucky,
December 15, 1798. At the age of twenty he married, and after 1820 moved to Clark
County, Kentucky,1 where he remained until 1822. In 1822, he removed to McMinn
County, Tennessee, and settled land which was being cleared of the Indians. About
1830, he must have moved on to Alabama since he was not listed in the 1830 census in
Tennessee and his son, Jasper, was born in Alabama in 1829, but apparently returned
to Tennessee for awhile since his daughter, Delila was born in McMinn County in 1832.
On December 31, 1832, he purchased the Choccolocco Valley in Benton County, Ala-
bama, from Indian Chief Oconee and settled there, moving the Indians west.2 He
devoted the remainder of his life there to farming3 and died, August 18, 1869. Benton
County is now Calhoun County.4

1. The author cannot vouch for the authenticity of this record. It is from an old memorandum in his
papers, and efforts to determine its source were fruitless. The 1810, 1820, and 1830 census records
for Allegheny County, Penna., and the 1850 and 1860 census records for Muskingum and Tuscarawas
Counties, Ohio, have been thoroughly examined, but no records of this family have been found.
There may be a connection between them and similar names found in Washington and Westmoreland
Counties (q.v.), Penna.

ROBERT BARNHILL OF COLCHESTER COUNTY, NOVA SCOTIA
Robert Barnhill1 emigrated from Donegal in the north of Ireland, to Halifax, Nova
Scotia, with his wife, one son, and three daughters with their husbands and families, and
a large number of other persons, in all about 300. The emigration was under the direc-
tion of Colonel Alexander McNutt, the British agent. They came in the ship Hopewell.
She arrived at Halifax Harbor on October 9, 1761, and passengers were landed at McNabs
Island. They remained in Halifax for the winter, and in the Spring of 1762, some went
to Windsor, Horton and Londonderry; some to Ouslow and Truro.
Mr. Barnhill and a number of his family settled in Chiganois, and were grantees of
the township of Londonderry. His wife is said to be the first person that was buried on
the Burying Island in Chiganois Marsh. The place is not known now [1873].

FLENNIKEN FAMILY
425
AG I JAMES FLENNIKEN of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
and descendants
James Flenniken and his wife, Jane Gillespie, were born in Edinburgh, Scotland,
and came to America about 1735. There are indications that they may have come in
a band of emigrants from Scotland and Northern Ireland, in company with the noted
evangelist and minister, Richard Sankey (q.v.) . There is a legend in the Flenniken
family that three brothers came to America together, Samuel, John and James. It is
entirely possible that one or more of James' brothers accompanied him to America
since there are numerous records of the name in Pennsylvania after he moved to North
Carolina which cannot be accounted for through his children.6
James and his wife settled in Pennsylvania, where they remained until after Brad-
dock's defeat at Fort Duquesnes, when the Indians began such widespread and brutal
assaults on the settlers of the Susquehanna Valley that they were forced from their homes.
They arrived in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, about 1760, being accompanied
by Thomas and John Dermond who had married into the family. They settled on
McAlpins Creek in what is today Sharon township, and there are records of grants issued
to James in 1765.1 James Flenniken is also recorded as a settler on April 25, 1765,
when he and others participated in a discussion of preemption and purchase rights
governing the Selwyn lands.2
There is no known record of the death of James, but his wife, Jane Gillespie, dated
her will,3 May 20, 1779, and gave her occupation as midwife. Apparently, James had
already died.

AG II JOHN FLENNIKEN (1744-1821), Mecklenburg County, N. C.
John Flenniken, son of James Flenniken and Jane Gillespie, was born March 7,
1744, in Pennsylvania, prior to his parents' removal to North Carolina. His family
settled on McAlpins Creek in what is now Sharon township, and John received a good
education for his day. In May 1775, Colonel Thomas Polk, commander of the county,
issued orders to his captains to have each of their companies send two delegates to a
convention to be held at Charlotte to consider the condition of the country. John,
and Neill Morrison were sent as delegates from Captain James Jack's company. Thus,
he became a participator and signer of the first formal notice to Great Britain that her
colonies would attempt to become free and independent of her tyrannies. This declara-
tion which became famous as the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, was carried
by Captain James Jack to the Continental Congress then sitting in Philadelphia. Con-
gress was not prepared for so bold a step and the declarations were not entered of
record.1
Later, when Francis Marion was commissioned to raise a force of loyal men in that
district, John served under him as a private soldier. He served as a magistrate and
member of the County Court for many years after the Revolution,7 and for several
terms was on the state court bench. He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church, now
known as Old Providence, and was one of the most advanced farmers of his day. He
was especially fond of fine horses and had many blooded animals. He was killed by
being thrown from one of his young horses, on Sunday morning on his way to church,
and the rock on which he fell when thrown near Providence Church is still pointed out
today.1 One authority gives the time of his death as 1 810/ and the other as August
1821-1822.1
He married first, Miss Rankin."

AG II SAMUEL FLENNIKEN (1746-1811), Knox County, Tennessee
Samuel Flenniken, son of James Flenniken and Jane Gillespie, was born, July 19,
1746, in Pennsylvania. He moved with his parents to Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina, about 1760, where he grew to manhood, and married. He undoubtedly engaged
in farming, and must have lived on a part of his father's lands since no grants there in
his name have been found.
He became a member of the North Carolina militia and rose rapidly until he
attained the rank of captain. He served under Major Davies and participated in the
Battle of Hanging Rock, South Carolina, on August 6, 1780, during the Revolutionary
War, when Colonel Sumter with 800 American militia engaged an equal number of
loyalists under Major Carden. The Americans were first victorious but were later
driven back with considerable losses after inflicting casualties of 269 among the loyalists.
For this service, Samuel was recompensed by the State of North Carolina.49
Between 1784 and 1787, his brother-in-law, John Dermond (q.v.) , migrated to
Greene County, one of the western counties of the state, and settled on a grant of land
he secured from the governor of North Carolina, located at the confluence of the Ten-
nessee and Little Rivers, in what soon became Knox County, Tennessee. In 1792,
Samuel followed him to Knox County, Tennessee, and settled south of the Tennessee
River, on the road to Maryville. He was then 46 years old, and all of his children but
the two youngest had been born in North Carolina.
On April 21, 1798, Samuel purchased from John Conner of Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina, for |500, 500 acres of land "lying in Knox County (late in the county
of Greene) on the southside of Clinch River, including the mouth of Conners Mill
Shoal Creek, lying along the river". This tract had been conveyed to John Conner by
North Carolina grant number 624, dated August 23, 1788, being registered in Greene
County, North Carolina, on September 21, 1788.8
In 1793, Samuel brought suit in the Knox County, Tennessee, Court, against John
Sevier and Adam Meek, Executors for the Estate of Isaac Taylor, for non-performance of
covenant. After having the suit passed to several succeeding Courts, Samuel won the
action at Court held on January 27, 1795, and was awarded a verdict of $100.60 He was
an active participant in the affairs of the county, and in 1795 served as Grand Jury
foreman; in 1796, as a Superior Court juror, and as justice of the peace; in 1797, he
was appointed tax assessor, and in 1803 became election judge.
He was listed in the 1806 Tax List for Knox County, Tennessee, with 875 acres,
1 white poll and 1 slave.51 He was shown in the 1807 List as Samuel Flenniken, Sr.,
with 875 acres and one poll. He was shown in the 1808 List as Samuel Flenniken, Sr.
with 1029 acres of land, 1 poll, 1 slave. In the 1809 List he was listed as Samuel Flan-
nagan with 923 acres, 1 poll and 1 slave. The 1810 List records Samuel Flanikin with
423 acres, 1 poll, 1 slave, and lists him again with 500 acres of land. The 1811 List
shows him as Samuel Flenniken, Sr., with the same holdings, and in the 1812 List, he
428 RELATED FAMILIES
was shown as Samuel Flannikin with the same holdings. Since he died in 1811, the
1811 and 1812 Tax Lists must have been intended to cover his estate.
On June 9, 1809, Samuel secured from the State of Tennessee, Land Grant No. 601,
for 423 acres of land, located in Knox County and south of the Tennessee River, con-
tiguous to holdings of William McClellen and I. W. Flannagin [sic]. This land, ap-
parently, lay along the Old Maryville road, beyond present day Vestal, a suburb of
Knoxville.82
Samuel lived 18 years after reaching Tennessee, and died at the age of 64 in January,
1811. His will dated December 22, 1810, and probated January 12, 1811, left his estate
to his children and grandchildren.*
He married, in North Carolina, Mary Wallace, reputedly a daughter of James Wallace.
She was born 1750-1760," and died in Knox County, Tennessee, in 1836.10

AG III JAMES WALLACE FLENNIKEN (1776-1840), Knox County, Tenn.
James Wallace Flenniken, son of Samuel Flenniken and Mary Wallace, was born
in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in 1776.20 He came to Knox County, Tennessee,
with his parents in 1792, at the age of 16. He is shown in the 1806 and 1807 tax lists
for Knox County, Tennessee, Captain Tipton's Company, with 150 acres of land and
one white poll. He is again shown in the 1808 list with 190 acres and one poll, but is
not found in the 1809 list. He again appears in the 1810 list as Wallace Flanikin with
196% acres and 1 poll; was not shown in the 1811 list, but found in the 1812 list as
James W. Flenniken with 196% acres of land and 1 poll.58
As a young man, he was quite active in public affairs, being commissioned a captain
in the Tennessee State Militia on September 29, 1800.21 From 1803 to 1816, he served
intermittently as juror, grand juror, and circuit court juror.22 He built a home four
miles south of Knoxville, on the old Maryville dirt road, which is still in use today by
his descendants as part of a more modern structure. His principal occupation was farm-
ing, although he served in the War of 1812 and evidently achieved the rank of major.24
On July 18, 1820, he was appointed Road Commissioner for a road from Coker to
Knoxville, and in July 1820, was appointed overseer of road.23 He died, August 19,
1840, at the age of 64, a highly respected citizen.20
He married, presumably in Knox County although the record is lost, Mary S. — (b.
July 10, 1875, Va.; d. Sept. 21, 1859, Knox County, Tenn.) ,26 From lack of any evidence
to the contrary, we must assume there was only one child born of this union.

AG III JEAN FLENNIKEN OF KNOX COUNTY, TENNESSEE
Jean Flenniken, granddaughter of James Flenniken and Jane Gillespie, was born,
apparently in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, but no record has been found
that would identify her parents. It is possible that she came to Knox County, Tennessee,
with her uncle, Samuel Flenniken (q.v.) . Although her husband was a witness to the
signing of Samuel Flenniken's will, Jean was not mentioned in the will. John Dear-
mond II (q.v.) , however, made a bequest in his will to "Samuel Cunningham's children,
Malinda, John and William".46 Neither Jean nor her husband has been located in the
1850 census for Knox County, Tennessee, indicating that they may have moved elsewhere
before that date.
She married, Jan. 15, 1804 [or 1806], Samuel H. Cunningham, bondsmen being John

AG IV REV. WARREN FLENNIKEN (1805-1851), Chester County, S. C.
Reverend Warren Flenniken, son of John Flenniken, Jr., and Mary Reid, was born,
January 8, 1805, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. He received his primary
education under Lawson Caldwell, who taught a school on McAlpins Creek, near
Providence Presbyterian Church. From there, he entered an academy headed by Rev-
erend Eleazer Harris, at York, South Carolina. From there, he went to Jefferson College,
Pennsylvania, entering the junior class of 1827. He graduated in 1829, and the same
year placed himself under the controls of the First Presbytery of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian Church of the South, and began the study of theology. He pursued his
studies under the direction of Reverends Isaac Grier, D.D., James Lowry, and Samuel
Pressly.
He was licensed to preach in November 1831, and for about one year filled vacancies

of the synod and made a missionary tour into Florida. In November 1832, he was
ordained, and installed as pastor of Hopewell and Union congregations in Chester
County, South Carolina. In 1837, he demitted the Union branch of his charge and
devoted his services to the Hopewell congregation. In 1839, he and twelve fellow
ministers of the Associate Reformed Church founded Clark and Erskine College, now
Erskine College, Due West, South Carolina. His associates were Isaac Grier, James
Renwick, Thomas Ketchin, Ebenezer Harris, Joseph Lowry, James Lowry, Ebenezer
Pressly, James Pressly, Robert Galloway, Henry Bryson, John Witherspoon, and James
Boyce. In 1848, he resigned his charge because of poor health.
Reverend Flenniken was a man of compelling personality and great conversational
powers, with a rare gift for public speaking, and possessed of a quick and active mind.
His sermons were entertaining and descriptive but delivered in a calm manner fraught
with earnestness. He was one of the first prohibitionists in South Carolina, and advo-
cated complete abstinence to his hearers as the only relief for excesses and drunkenness.
He died, July 31, 1851, and is buried in the Hopewell churchyard.
He married in 1831, Jane Pressley, daughter of Dr. Samuel Pressly, of Abbeville,
South Carolina.

town property. He was at one time president of the Kingston Pike Company, and was
a long time stockholder and director of the same company. He was a Methodist and

AG V WILLIAM MONTGOMERY FLENNIKEN (1850-1912), Knox County, Tenn.
William Montgomery Flenniken, son of William Peery Flenniken and Alcy I. Hinton,
was born in Knox County, Tennessee, December 1, 1850. He grew to manhood on his
father's farm, being reared by two successive stepmothers. He began farming on land
adjoining his father's home. He built first a home for himself and each year thereafter,
after the crops were in, built another house until he owned thirteen houses. He had no
confidence in banks and put his earnings into real estate. He also owned four houses in
Knoxville. He died, January 22, 1912.
He married, March 29, 1882, Margaret Catherine Flenniken (b. Oct. 20, 1862; d.

KG I ELI GRIFFITTS (1781-1847), Cherokee County, Alabama
and descendants*
Eli Griffitts was born, July 21, 1781, but the place of his birth is not known. As a
young man, he lived in Roane County, Tennessee, where his family settled, probably
after 1800. His father may have been Thomas Griffiths {q-v.) since he served as a
bondsman to two Roane County marriages, one of which may have been that of his son.*
The 1790 censuses for North Carolina and Pennsylvania are replete with listings of the
Griffith family, but only twice does the name Griffitts appear, once in Philadelphia
County, Pennsylvania, for Dr. Samuel Griffitts (q.v.) and once in Montgomery County,
North Carolina, for Isham Griffits.4
Eli lived in Roane County, Tennessee, for an indeterminate period, making his
home in after years in Cherokee County, Alabama, where he died, March 12, 1847, his
grave being in Pleasant Hill cemetery.
He married, place and date not preserved, Margaret Louise Wells (b. Mar. 22, 1783;
d. Dec. 15, 1856; g. Pleasant Hill, Cherokee County, Ala.) .

Lorenzo Dow Griffitts, son of Eli Griffitts and Margaret Louise Wells, was born in
Roane County, Tennessee, August 28, 1809. He became a Presbyterian minister and,
after his marriage, made his home at Gaylesville, Cherokee County, Alabama. He died,
July 18, 1882, and is buried in Forest Hill cemetery.
He married, about 1834, Angeline DeArmond (q-v.), whom he met while she was
making an extended visit in the home of her uncle, James Dearmond (q-v.) of Roane
County, Tennessee. Since legend says Lorenzo Dow's family opposed the marriage on
religious grounds, evidently the marriage was an elopement. There is no record of the
marriage in Roane County, whose marriage records have been carefully preserved.
Angeline died at the age of 34 while the children were small, but her husband never
remarried, remaining at home with his children.

AG I ISAAC HARRISON (1744-1806), Dauphin County, Penna.
and descendants
Isaac Harrison was born in England in 1744, the eldest son. He came to America
as a young man and settled in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. There are indications
that he owned and operated a fulling mill. He died at the age of 62, January 31, 1806,
and is buried at West Hanover, Pennsylvania, along with eight other members of the
Harrison family.
He married, probably about 1765, Sarah Stevens (b. 1748, England; d. May 14, 1806,
Dauphin County, Penna.; g. West Hanover chyd) . Tradition says that Isaac and Sarah
fell in love while both were living in England but his father forbade the marriage
because Sarah was below his station in rank. Sarah came to America with her parents
sometime prior to the Revolution. One version of the tradition says that Isaac followed
her to America and married her. Another version says they came to America on the
same ship and were married en voyage. For this mesalliance, Isaac was disinherited.

AG I WILLIAM JENKINS (1762-1833), Butler County, Ohio
William Jenkins was born in Wales, March 1, 1762. At about the age of 14, he
visited an uncle in Ireland and fell in love with his cousin, Susannah Walker (b. 1764) .
William's uncle was opposed to the marriage because of their tender ages, Susannah
being only 13 years old. They eloped to America the following year, 1777, and married
at the ages of 15 (William) and 14 (Susannah) and settled in Isle of Wight County,
Virginia. William joined the Virginia militia when only 15 years old and served
throughout the Revolutionary War, his exploits reading like those of a mature man.
They remained in Isle of Wight County for several years,1 afterwards settling in Pittsyl-
vania County, where they remained until 1807, when they moved by oxteam to Ohio.
William and his family settled in Cincinnati and bought 80 acres of land on the present
site of Main Street, which he later sold. He then moved into Butler County, and settled
on Dry Fork, 20 miles from Cincinnati. He died at Okeana at the age of 71, on May
21, 1833.
After his death, Susannah's family sent an attorney to see her in an attempt to
re-establish family relations but she refused all overtures. She died at the age of 88,
July 29, 1852.

PETER KEENER OF KNOX COUNTY, TENNESSEE1
and descendants
AG I PETER KEENER (?-1757), Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Legend has it that Peier Keener came to America from Holland and lived on Little
Chickadee River,2 and that the family was originally from Germany, and of strong
Protestant faith. No record has been found of Peter's arrival in America but we do find
a record of letters of administration for his estate being issued, March 1, 1757, to
Catherine Keener, presumably his widow, in Hanover township, Lancaster County,
Province of Pennsylvania.3 We must assume, therefore, that Peter died early in 1757.
According also to family legend, his wife is supposed to have been Catherine Ulrich
and descended from a distinguished German family of the same name. The persistent
appearance of the name "Ulrich" among Peter's descendants gives credence and support
to this legend.
Nothing of certainty is known of his children except one son, Ulrich, although he
undoubtedly had several children. For names of possible other children or brothers or
descendants in Pennsylvania, see list of unidentified persons shown at the end of this
record.

AG II ULRICH KEENER (cl710-al796), Shenandoah County, Virginia
Ulrich Keener, son of Peter and Catherine Keener, was born about 1710 in Holland,
and came to America on the ship JAMES GOODWILL from Rotterdam, and landed at
Philadelphia, September 27, 1727, in company with Adam and Hans Keiner (sic) who
may have been his brothers.4 One wonders if his father had preceded him or more
likely followed him later. It is possible that Ulrich came to this country as a lad in his
'teens to escape military service, as was the case with so many European emigrants.
He settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and on July 28, 1741, secured war-
ranty for 50 acres of land.5 Sometime later, he removed with his family to Shenandoah
County, Virginia, where we find him recorded as bondsman for the marriage of Jacob
Fan and Cathrine Peck, August 8, 1788,;6 and in 1783 with 8 in family, and again in
1784 with 9 in family." Lida Jane Hunt found Ulrich in Shenandoah County, Virginia,
in 1796, with 8 whites in family. If this record is of our subject and not his son, it is
reasonable to suppose that he died in Shenandoah County soon afterward.
His wife's name is not known.

or after Peter reached manhood cannot be determined. After 1790, he settled in Ten-

the remainder of his life in the peaceful area overlooking the French Broad River. He
died, September 17, 1837, and is buried in Seven Islands cemetery.
He married about 1780, Susannah Low (b. 1755; d. Sept. 20, 1840; g. Seven Islands

Joseph Keener, son of Ulrich Keener, Jr., was born 1780-1790, in Shenandoah County,

In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, we assume he was a farmer. He is found

Washington County and only his son, Elkanah, seems to have remained there. Joseph's

AG IV ULRICH KEENER (cl781-?), Martel, Tennessee
Ulrich Keener, son of Peter Keener and Susannah Low, was born about 1781, prob-
ably in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Whether he accompanied his father to Knox
County, Tennessee, or reached maturity before that move and went instead to Indiana
as a young man, cannot be determined. There is a legend among the descendants of the
family at Martel, Tennessee, that Ulrich was originally from Pennsylvania, and came
to Tennessee from near Indianapolis, Indiana, and secured a grant for land located
about 5 miles from Martel (then in Roane County) . How much of this legend is fact
and how much fiction this writer is unable to determine from the available records.
Ulrich had an uncle named Ulrich and it is entirely possible that the records of the
two men are confused. Further research is needed to clear this subject's history.

AG VIII FRANK ELLIS KEENER, JR. (1920- ), Knoxville, Tennessee
Frank Ellis Keener, Jr., son of Frank Ellis Keener, Sr., and Lucile Doyle, was born
at Knoxville, Tennessee, May 8, 1920. His parents moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1930,
and he graduated from Decatur (Ga.) High School and North Georgia College,
Dahlonega.
516 RELATED FAMILIES
His first attempt to enlist in the U. S. Army Air Corps during World War II was a
failure due to a knee injury received in high school. He took a position with the Fulton
National Bank, Atlanta, and later again applied for enlistment in the Air Corps and
was accepted, October, 1941, as a flying cadet. He took his basic training at Maxwell
Field for one month, then went to Robbins Field, Jackson, Mississippi. From there, he
was sent to Greenville Air Force Base, Mississippi, then to Turner Field, Albany, Georgia,
where he graduated from flying school as a second lieutenant. He remained there for
a year as instructor in the Advanced Flying School, and was promoted to first lieutenant.
Afterwards transferred to Smyrna Air Force Base, Tennessee, where he instructed in
B-24 flying. After several successive moves, he was stationed at Clovis Air Force Base,
New Mexico, and instructed in B-29 flying, and received his captaincy. From there, he
was sent to Wendover Air Force Base, Utah, as test pilot with Atom Bomb Group where
he remained for 9 months. He engaged in high altitude test flying in the development
of aerial atom bomb technic. He was pilot and crew captain of the plane which loaded
and carried the first atom bomb to the Pacific advance base from which it was later flown
and dropped by another crew on Hiroshima, Japan. Thus, it may be said that he was
the first person ever to fly an atomic bomb on a combat mission, and out of the United
States, and over the ocean. He received the Air Medal for 43 test missions with atom
bombs. He was released from active duty, December 15, 1945.
He took a position as operations clerk, Eastern Air Lines, Nashville, as his wife
had had enough of hazard anxiety due to his wartime flying. After a year there, he joined
the firm of Bostitch, Incorporated, manufacturers of stapling and stitching machines,
as sales representative for East Tennessee.
He was recalled to active duty, March 1951, because of the Korean War, by the U. S.
Air Force, and sent to Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, as instructor in B-29 flying. He
was on duty for 17 months, and again released to inactive status, August 29, 1952. He
rejected promotion to major because it entailed a tour of duty for 5 years, which he
did not want.
He returned to his position with Bostitch, Incorporated, and now (1952) is living in
Westwood, Knoxville, Tennessee.
He married, July 25, 1943, Nashville, Tennessee, Grace Vincent Gore (b. May 14,
1921) , daughter of George Paschal Gore and Ruth Hadden.

Rhine River, where they stopped and cleaned up the Ruhr pocket, ending up in Dort-
man. He was pulled out and sent to Bremen for occupation duty, from where he was

AUGUSTA COUNTY, VIRGINIA
and

William Lusk and his wife, Elizabeth, settled in Augusta County, Virginia, sometime
prior to 1746, coming from Paxtang township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It is
presumed that he emigrated to America from Scotland.

AG II Joseph I
b. Mar. 15, 1753, Augusta County, Va.
AG II JOSEPH LUSK I (1753-1839), Bradley County, Tenn.
Joseph Lusk I, son of William and Elizabeth Lusk, was born in Augusta County,
Virginia, March 15, 1753. At that time, Augusta County included a much larger terri-
tory than now and present information is that the old Lusk home was near the present
line of Augusta and Rockbridge Counties, not far from the present postoffice of Vesuvius.
Joseph left Virginia in early life, and settled at Sycamore Shoals, Watauga River, then
a part of North Carolina.
He served throughout the Revolutionary War, being enlisted, June 2, 1776, at
Sycamore Shoals. He served as orderly sergeant in Captain John Sevier's Company,
Colonel William Christie's and Joseph Williams' Regiments, and was discharged, No-
vember 27, 1776. He enlisted a second time on March 2, 1777, in Washington County,
Virginia, and served as a private in Captain James Shelby's Company, Colonel William
Christie's regiment, and was discharged, April 13, 1777. He enlisted a third time on
October 3, 1777, and served as a private in Captain Isaac Shelby's company, and was
discharged, November 5, 1777. He enlisted a fourth time, June 4, 1778, served as a
private in Captain John Snoddy's Company, and was discharged, July 8, 1778. He
enlisted a fifth time, June 4, 1780, and served as a private in Captain Andrew Colville's
Company, Colonel Arthur Campbell's regiment, and was discharged, July 2, 1780.'
Although there appears to be no official record of it, family tradition is very conclusive
that he took part in the campaign against Furguson ,in October 1780, culminating in
the Battle of King's Mountain. His grandson, Colonel Virgil S. Lusk, owned and
hunted with the old Deckard rifle which Joseph carried and used in that battle.
After the close of the war, Joseph settled in Western North Carolina, near the
present site of Asheville. He died at the home of his son, Joseph II, in Bradley County,
Tennessee, August 15, 1839.
The name of his wife is unknown.

Joseph Lusk II, son of Joseph Lusk I, was born in Buncombe County, North Carolina,
May 27, 1790. He came into East Tennessee in early life, and enlisted during the War
of 1812, at Pikeville, Bledsoe County, January 10, 1814, as a private in the company
of Captain John Hawkins, Tennessee Militia, and was discharged, May 13, 1814. He
later removed to Bradley County, Tennessee, and settled first at or near what is now
known as Waterville. About 1835, he moved south and settled ly2 miles north of the
Georgia state line, where he lived until his death. He died, February 3, 1873, and was
buried on his farm, where his father was also buried.
He married, October 28, 1812, Pikeville, Bledsoe County, Tennessee, Rebekah Igou

1877. He obtained his education in the public schools of Bradley County, and later
taught in the Bradley County Schools for two terms. He moved to Chattanooga in
1900 and became a clerk with the Southern Railway until 1912. In 1910, while still em-
ployed by the railroad, he enrolled in the night school of the Chattanooga College of
Law, and graduated in 1912, with the second highest record of his class. He left the
Southern Railway and entered the law office of White B. Miller for a few months, then
formed a partnership with Joe W. Thompson. In 1924, he was appointed United
States Commissioner by Judge Xen Hicks. In August 1926, he was elected to the office
of Criminal Judge for Hamilton County, and resigned as U. S. Commissioner and
dissolved his law partnership.
He presided as criminal court judge for 16 years and retired, April 1, 1942. A
distinguished and eminent jurist, his trials were conducted with fairness and justice
to all participants. His broad knowledge of law and human rights and his unquestioned
integrity earned for him the high respect of the legal profession and the trust of the
people of Hamilton County.
A Republican, he was greatly in demand by his party for campaign speeches, and at
one time was prominently mentioned for the office of federal district judge. He was an
active member, Pilgrim Congregational Church, and made many religious addresses.*
A man of great sincerity and gentleness, his courtly manner and personal warmth created
lasting friendships. He built an extensive library consisting of books and periodicals
which he read and cross-indexed for subject matter. He became a great scholar, and
developed an absorbing interest in history and current events.
He died quietly at his home, May 14, 1945,4 being the last Republican to hold
elective office in Hamilton County, and undoubtedly the Republican Party's greatest

MacCOLMAN FAMILY OF SCOTLAND
The MacColman family originated in Argyllshire in Western Scotland in the thir-
teenth century. The Buchanan Society of Glasgow says that according to tradition,
Colman, the third son of Anselan who was the seventh Lord of Buchanan, went to
Argyllshire in the West of Scotland, during the reign of King Alexander III (1241-
1285). Colman's descendants became known as MacColman, and settled in the parishes
of Muckairn and Benderlock. The connection of the MacColman family with the
Buchanan Clan is, therefore, entirely traditional and not otherwise established, but its
claim to that connection has been recognized for centuries and never challenged.
Toward the end of the eighteenth century, Alexander MacColman was minister of
the Parishes of Lismore and Appin.
About 1666, Thomas MacColman, a Covenant preacher, came under the persecution
of the Covenanters during the reign of Charles II of England, and fled in a fishing boat
to County Antrim, Ireland, and settled in the parish of Cairnearth. He named his
farm Closeburn after a parish in Western Scotland. Tradition says that he altered the
spelling of his name to McCalmont for concealment. Several of his sons emigrated to
America after 1720 and settled for the most part in Pennsylvania. This writer has an
extensive collection of data on this family collected over a period of several years under
the misapprehension that his maternal ancestors sprang from this line.
Sometime after 1750, David MacColman appeared in Anson County, North Carolina,
during the period of a great migration of Scots into that state. The following pages are
devoted to his known descendants.
In the 1880's, three sons of James MacCalman of Lochaline, near Oban, Scotland,
emigrated to America. A sketch of this most recent addition to the American family is
shown at the end of this record.
JOHN MacCOLMAN OF RICHMOND COUNTY, N. C.
and descendants
AG I DAVID MacCOLMAN OF ANSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
David MacColman purchased land in Anson County from George Carter in 1774,
the deed being proven in Anson County Court, Tuesday, July 12, 1774, by David Love.
On the same date, a deed from Ralph Mason to John MacColman was proven by John
Macalman.
No other record of David has been found but we may assume that he emigrated from
Scotland to America sometime after 1750, and settled in North Carolina.

AG II JOHN MacCOLMAN (cl740-bl800), Richmond County, N. C.
John MacColman, son of David MacColman, was born about 1740, probably in
Scotland. Our first record of him is found in 1770 in a petition by the inhabitants of
Anson County, North Carolina, against Salisbury Court, presented to the Governor,
Council and Assembly, on which his name appears as one of the petitioners. In 1774,
McCALMAN FAMILY 527
he purchased land from Ralph Mason which was proven in Anson County Court,
Tuesday, July 12, 1774. On July 13, 1774, John Macallam was ordered by Anson County
Court as one of the "hands" to build a road from Little River to County Line near
Williams old store. On January 11, 1775, a deed by Duncan Curry to Anens? Curry,
was proven by John McAlman, in Anson County Court. In October 1779, he signed as
John McCalman, a petition to divide the county. In 1779, Montgomery and Richmond
Counties were formed from Anson County, and John found himself in Richmond
County. He was summoned as juror, for the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, De-
cember 1784, and at the March 1785 Court, was fined for failure to serve; and again in
1786, was fined for failure to appear as juror at March court.*
In 1786, he was issued voucher No. 126 for 11 pounds, interest 3 pounds, 16 shillings,
for Revolutionary War services.8
The 1790 census lists him with 3 males and 3 women, representing, apparently,
himself, his wife, two sons and two daughters.4 In 1791, he appeared in Court at the
proving of the will of Catherine Smith.6 The Taxable List of Taxable Property for
Richmond County, 1790, lists him with 986 acres, situation 20, white souls one. The
Sheriff's Tax Book for 1792, Richmond County, Inventory of John McFarland for
District No. 1, shows him with 340 acres, no poll. The Sheriff's Tax Book for 1793,
shows him again with 986 acres, Situation 20, White Souls one. The 1795 list shows only
340 acres. On February 22, 1796, he sold to Archibald Wilkinson, Jr., 640 acres of land
"lying along the county line of Richmond and Bladen Counties, N. C, on east side of
Shoe Heel Swamp, which had been patented by Maccalman, August 9, 1789. Witnesses:
Anguith McGill and Anguith MacNeel. Proven April 1797, Sessions Court, by Aunguith
McNeil. Ordered to be registered." See Appendix.
John disappears from all records in Richmond County after 1796, and does not
appear in the 1800 census. Family legend says the two sons were orphaned and "bound
out" as boys, which indicates that John died before 1800.

AG III JAMES SCOTLAND McCALMAN (cl780-cl866), Cherokee County, Ala.
James Scotland McCalman, son of John MacColman, was born in Richmond County,
North Carolina, about 1780. Family tradition says James and his brother were orphaned
as children and "bound out" [apprenticed] and received little education. Apparently,
John was apprenticed to a millwright, as his grandson told this author he was a mill-
wright by profession. When he left North Carolina is not known, but he must have
seen service as an Indian scout and fighter and served with Colonel Landon Carter,
since he named his eldest son after him. He was in Blount County, Tennessee, when
he married, about 1809. Afterwards, he went to Ohio, presumably down the Tennessee
River. Tradition says he lived in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, following his trade as a
millwright and dam builder. His wife's father died in 1823, and James soon returned
to Blount County, Tennessee. On April 8, 1825, he secured a Tennessee land grant
for 100 acres of land located on the Holston [now Tennessee] River.' On November 22,
1825, James and his wife, Betsy, deeded their interest in certain parcels of land belong-
ing to the estate of his wife's father, to her brothers, William and John Scott, in exchange
for a certain other interest in the estate.7 On December 26, 1826, James sold to William
Henderson, 261 acres of land in Blount County.'

Later, James built a dam and mill on the Chattooga River at Trion, Georgia, which
he later sold. He was living in St. Clair County, Alabama, when he sold to Robert
Glass, December 21, 1833, 94 acres of land in Blount County, Tennessee.7 He afterwards
lived in Cherokee County, Alabama, and in 1838, started the construction of a dam
and mill at Gaylesville. He had only the foundations in when he fell and broke several
ribs. His son, John, then only 18 years old, took charge, and completed both the dam
and the mill. While living here, he reared a negro boy for his son, John, and at John's
request, set the negro boy free. Before 1840, he was on the move again and went, ac-
cording to legend, to Texas, where he died, in 1866 or 1867, at the age of 86 or 87. Many
years research and a careful examination of 1850 census listings for all east Texas
counties failed to find any record of James in Texas. Recent correspondence with
descendants living in Arkansas, indicates that he may have settled in northwestern
Louisiana, instead of Texas. He was an austere, taciturn person, of sterling integrity
and rigid fairness in his dealings with others.
He married about 1809 in Blount County, Tennessee, Elizabeth (Betsy) Scott (b.
circa 1790), daughter of James Scott (q.v.) and Jane Adams.

AG III MALCOLM McCOLMAN, SR. (cl784-bl850), Cumberland County, N. C.
Malcolm McColman, son of John MacColman, was born in Richmond County, North
Carolina, 1784-1790. According to tradition among his brother's descendants, the two
boys were bound out to learn a trade but all records of the family disappeared from
Richmond County after 1796, and our first record of Malcolm appears in the 1810
census for Cumberland County, showing him as already married and with three children
under 10. He is not shown in the 1820 or 1830 census but appears in the 1840 census.
The 1850 census shows three of his sons but not our subject, and we assume he must
have died before 1850.8 His occupation is not known.
His wife, name not known, was born 1784-1790.

AG IV LANDON CARTER McCALMAN (1810-1884), Buchanan, Georgia
Landon Carter McCalman, son of James Scotland McCalman and Elizabeth Scott,
was born in Blount County, Tennessee, June 24, 1810. He was named for General
Landon Carter, early Tennessee patriot and Indian fighter. He was taken by his parents
as a child to Ohio where his father lived until about 1825. Here, no doubt, he got a
good educational foundation which gave him a thirst for the further education he
sought later. His father returned to Blount County, Tennessee, after the death of
Landon's maternal grandfather, James Scott. He grew to manhood there and united with
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at an early age. His father moved to Georgia
and built a mill at Trion, Georgia. After he sold the mill and moved to St. Clair County,
Alabama, Landon settled in Carroll County, Georgia, in 1831, and finding no Presby-
terian church nearby, made a preference for the Methodist church and united with and
lived a consistent member of that faith until his death. In 1835, he was operating a
mill known as McCalman's Mill, as there is extant, a promissory note signed by one
D. R. Myers, by which he promised to pay to Landon C. McCalman, $50 "which can be
discharged by a good sound horse delivered at McCalman's Mills."
On October 13, 1846, he was ordained a minister in the Methodist church, by the
Society of Concord, at Carrollton. In January 1845, he was appointed to take the census
of Carroll County in Major Ashley's Battalion, by order of the Court.
On August 19, 1861, he was mustered into the 3rd Regiment of Georgia Volunteers,
CSA, under Lt. Col. E. P. Watkins, at Brunswick. He was recorded as being 51 years
of age, birthplace, Blount County, Tennessee, height 6 feet, 2 inches, and of light
complexion, light colored eyes, fair hair, and by occupation a farmer. In November
1861, he entered the hospital suffering from recurrent asthma, which he reported he had
been a victim of for 26 years. Another record shows him as being released from Con-
valescent Camp at La Grange on May 4, 1864, and ordered to report to his command
without delay. Transportation was furnished to him from there to Dalton and then
to Resaca, since his command, Company C, 26th Georgia Battalion, had been ordered
to duty at that point by order of General Stevens.
On August 1, 1873, he was given license to teach in the public schools of Carroll
County, Georgia. He afterwards moved to Buchanan, Georgia, where he served as
mayor, being qualified by the board of electors on December 2, 1882. He died, May 29,
1884, and was buried in County Line cemetery, on the Carroll-Haralson County lines.
He was a good citizen, a good church member, and respected by all who knew him, as
a true and upright man."
He married, September 13, 1832, Carroll County, Georgia, Eliza A. Sharpe (b. Nov.
15, 1816; d. Apr. 15, 1896; g. County Line c.) , daughter of Hiram Sharpe (q.v.) and

Harriet B. McCalman, daughter of James Scotland McCalman and Elizabeth Scott,
was born while her parents were living in Ohio, March 8, 1818. She was brought to
Blount County, Tennessee, when her parents returned there about 1825, and later
taken by them to Georgia, and afterwards to Alabama, first to St. Clair County, and
finally, Cherokee County. She soon married, and when her roving father set out for
Texas, she remained in Alabama. She died, February 13, 1868, and is buried in Mill

John Scott McCalman, son of James Scotland McCalman and Elizabeth Scott, was
born in Ohio, January 9, 1820, and brought to Blount County, Tennessee, as a small
child, about 1825. Later, he was taken to Georgia, and afterwards to St. Clair County,
Alabama, about 1833, and soon after to Cherokee County, Alabama. In 1838, his
father started construction of a dam and mill at Gaylesville but had only the founda-
tions in when he fell and broke several ribs. John, then only 18 years old, took charge
and completed both the dam and the mill. The following year, his father set out for
Texas, taking all his family excepting those of his children who had married. John
accompanied his father but returned to Cherokee County after a year as he did not
like the country. Thus, the absence of both John and his father from the 1840 census
for Cherokee County is explained.
John, like his brother, Landon, was trained to be a millwright, but despised the
trade and kept it secret. He became a farmer and owned a large farm. He was also
justice of the peace at Gaylesville for 30 or 40 years. He was never in sympathy with
the secession of the southern states from the union, but as he kept silent and did not
vote, it was not generally known. He died in May, 1886, and is buried in Forest Hill
cemetery, Gaylesville.

AG IV JAMES SCOTT McCALMAN (1822-1898), Columbia County, Arkansas
James Scott McCalman, son of James Scotland McCalman and Elizabeth Scott, was
born while his parents were living in Ohio, in 1822. He was brought as a child to
Blount County, Tennessee, when his parents returned there about 1825, and from there
was taken to Georgia; then to St. Clair County, Alabama, about 1833. A few years later,
the family moved to Cherokee County, Alabama. In 1839, James' father set out for
Texas with all his children except those who had married, and James went along, being
then 17 years old. No record of any of the family has been found in Texas, but James
eventually settled in Claiborne County, Louisiana, about 1847 or earlier, and farmed
on what is now known as the old Bonner Place, located about 5 miles northwest of
Homer. About 1858, he moved to Brister, Columbia County, Arkansas, and continued
farming. After his wife's death, he made his home with his daughter, Josephine Malissa,
and died there, January 27, 1898, and is buried at Christie's Chapel, Columbia County.
He married, about 1847, Claiborne County, Louisiana, Charlotte Elizabeth Fullerton

AG V JAMES MARION McCALMAN, SR. (1834-1905), CarroIIton, Georgia
James Marion McCalman, Sr., son of Landon Carter McCalman and Eliza A. Sharpe,
was born on his father's plantation, about 5 miles from CarroIIton, Georgia, February
26, 1834. While James Marion was a small child, his father was a miller but became a
minister when James Marion was 12 years old, and he was reared in the precepts of the
ministry. Soon after his marriage, the Civil War broke out and his father went into
service. On May 13, 1862, James Marion enlisted at CarroIIton, as a private in Company
H, 56th Regiment, Georgia Infantry, for 3 years. He was captured by the union forces
at Vicksburg, Mississippi, July 4, 1863, and paroled there, July 8, 1863, as a sergeant.
His name appears on a list of men furloughed and present at Enterprise, Mississippi,
July 23, 1863.15 About 1870, he was ordained a minister in the Methodist church and
served as pastor of several churches, among which were Harmony Grove, Carroll County;
McCALMAN FAMILY
535
Draketown, Pauldin County; Yellow Dirt, Heard County; Rock Springs, near Hutche-
sons Ferry. He was a Mason for more than 40 years. He was characterized by his warm-
hearted and companionable nature which earned for him enduring friendships. His son,
Felix, has this to say of his father: 'In politics, father was an ardent democrat. With his
whole heart, he believed in the principles for which he fought through four years of
civil strife with Lee, Johnston, Gordon and Bragg. Although he signed the oath of
allegiance after the war, he lived and died a rebel at heart. He could never forget
carpet bag rule in the south nor could he forgive the Republican party for its many
attempts to force upon us social equality with the negro. He considered suffrage a duty
as well as a privilege and never failed to cast his ballot at the poll. On election day
when Cleveland was running for president and it looked as if the democrats might win,
Father was so jubilant that he told his friends he would throw his hat over the court-
house if Cleveland was elected. After the returns were in and his party had won, his
friends demanded that he be as good as his word, so in the presence of most of the
county, he tied a stone to his hat and threw it over. To the end of his life he loved
a joke, even though he was the butt of it." He died at Carrollton, August 11, 1905,
and is buried there.
He married, January 5, 1858, Nancy Louise Webb (b. June 13, 1840; d. Dec. 21,

AG V GEORGE MADISON McCALMAN (1848-1926), Carroll County, Ga.
George Madison McCalman, son of Landon Carter McCalman and Eliza A. Sharpe,
was born in Carroll County, Georgia, September 7, 1848. He received his education
from the county schools of Carroll County, and became a farmer and owned a farm of
350 acres. He had no faith in banks and kept all his cash of whatever amounts con-
cealed at his home or on his or his wife's person, and as a consequence, was haunted
by the fear of being robbed in the night.
Known to his friends and neighbors as "Uncle George," he was a familiar figure in
his immaculate white shirts, long snowy beard and cane. He was a great tease with a
merry twinkle in his eye. Being a true McCalman, he was undemonstrative with his
affections but attached to those of his family who were able to break through his seem-
ing austerity and offer him caresses. He had a particular knack with children and could
cross into their world with ease. He lived out his life in the county where he was born,
and died, March 8, 1926, a communicant of the Methodist church.
He married, December 21, 1871, Carroll County, Georgia, Susan E. Mote (b. Aug.

AG V LORENZO DOW McCALMAN (1845-1919), Cherokee County, Alabama
Lorenzo Dow McCalman, son of John Scott McCalman and Elisa DeArmond, was
born at Gaylesville, Cherokee County, Alabama, February 19, 1845. He was named
for his uncle, Lorenzo Dow Griffitts (q.v.) . He spent his boyhood on his father's farm,
and obtained his education from the district schools.
On August 7, 1861, being then only 16 years old, he enlisted in the Confederate
Army at Centre, Alabama, as a private in Company H, 19th Regiment, Alabama In-
fantry, Joseph L. Cunningham, commanding, for a term of three years, giving his age
as 19. He was mustered in at Huntsville. He was later transferred to Company A,
Yancey's Battalion, Alabama Sharp Shooters, being shown present with that company
on September 14, 1862. He was transferred to Company G, 19th Regiment, Alabama
Infantry, by order of November 17, 1862, at Tullahoma, Tennessee. The roll of Com-
pany H, 19th Regiment, Alabama Infantry, for the period of January and February,
1864, latest on file, reports him enlisted, September 1, 1863, at Chattanooga, Tennessee,
for 3 years, and shows him "Absent on detached Service, February 18, 1864, General
McCALMAN FAMILY 541
Army Supply Train, order General Johnston."17 However, he related to his sons and
this writer that at midnight of the expiration of his enlistment, August 14, 1864, in-
stead of reenlisting, he returned home to see his mother. There he enlisted in John W.
Gatewood's Scouts, in which organization he served until the end of the war.
After the surrender of General Lee at Appomatox, he hastened home to claim his
sweetheart before she should marry any one else. He made his home in Cherokee County,
near Gaylesville, where he engaged in farming. He also served as county surveyor for
Cherokee County for 17 years. After his second marriage, he moved to Dutton, Jackson
County, Alabama, where he made his home until his death. He died April 13, 1919, and
is buried at Dutton, Alabama.
He was a stockily built, handsome young man with chestnut brown hair, a strong
nose, fine complexion and beautiful brown eyes. In his mature years, he wore a full
beard which eventually became snow white. A man of stern mien and gruff manner,
he used these traits as camouflage for a deep and undemonstrable affection for his
family. He was possessed of great pride and interest in his forebears, which traits were
passed to this writer by inheritance and precept. A controversial figure in his family,
he was often misjudged because of his complex nature and his devastating and sarcastic
wit, which blinded others to his keen intellect.
He married first, April 21, 1865, Harriet Mahala Hurley (b. Nov. 4, 1844, Hurley,
Ala.; d. Aug. 27, 1892, Gaylesville, Ala.; g. Unity chyd) , daughter of Henry Hurley and
Elizabeth Smith. She was a deeply religious woman and devoted to her family; being
of a sensitive nature, she was easily hurt, but otherwise was a quiet and friendly person.
He married second, October, 1893, Eugenia A. James (b. Aug. 23, 1859, near Centre,
Ala.; d. Oct. 25, 1932; g. Dutton, Ala.), daughter of Lafayette H. James (b. Jan. 1, 1827;

education from the nearby schools and worked on his father's farm until he was 24
years old, when he married and established his own home. He continued farming in
Cherokee County until March 1899, when he moved with his family to Celeste, Hunt
County, Texas, where he engaged in merchandising and farming until the death of
his wife in 1914. Most of his children were then married and living apart, and he re-
turned to Cherokee County, Alabama, and made his home with his son, Esli, at James-
town. He died there, April 20, 1920, and is buried in Unity churchyard. A Baptist,
he was a sincere Christian, and his word was his bond. He made friends easily and was
devoted to children.
He married, August 8, 1872, Hurley, Alabama, Sarah Melvina Hurley (b. July 16,
1851, Hurley, Ala.; d. Oct. 23, 1914, Celeste, Texas; g. same), daughter of Henry

AG V WILLIAM FRANKLIN McCALMAN (1852-1916), White Haven, Tennessee
William Franklin McCalman, son of John Scott McCalman and Elisa DeArmond,
was born at Gaylesville, Cherokee County, Alabama, September 19, 1852. He obtained
his education at Gaylesville, and grew to manhood on his father's farm. About 1887,
due in part to the influence of his wife's sister, Mrs. Golightly, who lived in Memphis,
Tennessee, and also seeking a wider opportunity for the future, he moved to Stevenson,
Tennessee, near Memphis, where he remained about two years. He then located at
White Haven, a suburb of Memphis, and engaged in farming, and operated one of the

and dairy and moved to Memphis where he entered the grocery business. In 1916, he
retired from business and went to live with his son, William McKendree, at Hazen,
Arkansas. He died there, August 8, 1916, and is also buried there. He was very active

AG V TALITHA CUMI "SHUG" McCALMAN (cl853-1900), Collinsville, Texas
Talitha Cumi "Shug" McCalman, daughter of John Scott McCalman and Elisa
DeArmond, was born at Gaylesville, Cherokee County, Alabama, about 1853, where
she grew to womanhood and received her education. As a girl, she was quite handsome,
had a natural ear for music and could play almost any musical instrument by ear. After
her marriage, she and her husband lived principally in DeKalb County. After the death
of her husband, she remained in Alabama until about 1894, when she got into some
sort of dispute with neighbors who threatened lawsuit, and Talitha left Alabama to
avoid further trouble. She followed her sister, Elizabeth Clementine, to Texas, and
lived first at Sherman, then moved to Whitehaven, 4 miles west of Sherman, then to
Ethel, 2 miles south of Collinsville. She became ill with tuberculosis and her mother
went to her by train from Alabama, to nurse her and to care for her children. Her
advanced age and the burden of nursing was too much for her mother and she contracted
pneumonia and died at Collinsville, Texas. Talitha lived her remaining years in the
home of her sister, Elizabeth Clementine, on the Gunters Ranch, Tioga, Texas, where
she died in 1900, and was buried at Collinsville.
She married in 1881," James Bryant, a successful sawmill operator. He was operating
a sawmill on Sand Mountain, Jackson County, Alabama, at the time of his death in
1889. He had two heart attacks while at work, and died a day or so later.
After Talitha's death, the children remained at Collinsville, and were reared by
neighbors. Having no contact with their family, they misspelled their name when they
grew up, as "Bryan".

AG VI JEROME McDONALD McCALMAN (1867-1919), Sallisaw, Oklahoma
Jerome McDonald McCalman, son of Lorenzo Dow McCalman and Harriet Mahala
Hurley, was born at Hurley, Cherokee County, Alabama, July 23, 1867. He was named
for his father's cousin, Jerome DeArmond (q.v.), who lost his life during the Civil War.
He secured his education from the schools of Gaylesville, and worked on his father's
farm until his marriage. He operated briefly a summer hotel on Lookout Mountain near
Summerville, Georgia. In 1898, he moved to Celeste, Texas, where he built a cotton
gin and seed mill. In 1903, he moved into Indian Territory, and settled at Sallisaw,
where his wife's twin brother was operating a store and had married a part Cherokee girl.
Jerome worked as a carpenter and contractor, and operated sawmills in the forests
around Sallisaw. He studied constantly to improve himself, reading every available
book on architecture and construction and taking correspondence courses. In time, he
became an excellent draftsman and architect, and made his own drawings and specifica-
tions and blueprints. Being a perfectionist, no detail was left out. He also surveyed
a great deal of the country around Sallisaw and Muskogee. He moved to Muskogee in
1912, where he built an oil refinery. He moved to Haskell in 1914, and continued his
profession, also operating a cotton gin until his death. He died at Haskell, December
16, 1919, from an old injury received while living at Celeste, Texas. He was a man of
unflagging energy, a strong sense of responsibility, and a keen, penetrating intellect.
He married, December 19, 1894, Summerville Georgia, Virginia Lee Rich (b. July
8, 1868), daughter of William Melton Rich and Mary Berilla Wofford; M. A. Belmot,

John Henry McCalman, son of Lorenzo Dow McCalman and Harriet Mahala Hurley,
was born at Gaylesville, Cherokee County, Alabama, January 23, 1872, being named
for his two grandfathers. He received what education was available from the district
school at Gaylesville, meanwhile working on his father's farm. When he became subject
to road duty at 18, he was appointed road overseer, and when he was 20, he worked as
janitor of the school for his tuition, $3.60 per month. He grew into a very handsome
young man, and when he became of age, went to nearby Summerville, Georgia, and
fixed a sawmill steam engine at 50 cents per day to earn his railroad fare to Texas. As
soon as he had accumulated the requisite amount, he left for Texas, arriving at Celeste,
Hunt County, August 24, 1894. He picked 10 bales of cotton that fall at 40 cents per
hundred pounds. In 1895-1896, he worked on a farm for $13 per month, and in 1897,
attended school at Ladonia, Texas, for six months. In 1898, he attended school at
Celeste, and in 1899, was employed at the asylum at Terrell, Texas. In 1900, he re-
turned to Celeste, ran for office and was elected constable, afterwards being offered the
post of deputy sheriff but instead, went to Indian Territory in 1903 and leased a tract
of land near Caddo, Bryan County, and began farming. In 1906, he homesteaded in
New Mexico on a 160-acre tract which he sold for $1000. He returned to his farm at
Caddo where he has lived since. He purchased his original lease and has added to it
by other purchases until he now has 510 acres. In 1936, he was appointed road super-
visor for the Works Progress Administration project during the Franklin Roosevelt
administration. He is now (1953) completing his 50th year at the same location.
He joined the Baptist faith at the age of 14 in Cherokee County, Alabama, and has
remained a faithful Baptist throughout his life. He became a Mason in the Celeste
Lodge 770, and was master of the Caddo Lodge No. 3 for 2 years, and Worthy Patron
of the Eastern Star for 20 years. He is now a 32nd degree Mason and a Shriner. He
is a good correspondent and enjoys community singing but his real love is his farm and
things that grow out of the ground.
He married, January 1, 1902, Greenville, Texas, Elizabeth Caroline Carter, daughter
of Presley Gilbert Carter2- and Margaret Ann Cameron. She was born, December 20,
1877, on a farm 3 miles west of Kingston, Hunt County, Texas. Her elementary educa-
tion was obtained from a one-teacher country school, but when she was 13, she entered
Calhoun College, Kingston, where she finished her elementary schooling and completed
two or more years of college work. In the Spring of 1897, she secured a first grade
teachers certificate covering 17 subjects, and began teaching country school, October
1897. She taught 6 years in Texas and 3 years at Caddo, Indian Territory. She is a
Baptist, being converted in 1895, and is active in church and missionary work; a pioneer

AG VII JAMES OTHO McCALMAN (1895- ), Stilwell, Okla.
James Otho McCalman, son of Jerome McDonald McCalman and Virginia Lee Rich,
was born at Summerville, Georgia, September 29, 1895, and taken by his parents while
a small child to Celeste, Texas, and to Sallisaw, Indian Territory, in 1903. He received
his schooling at Muskogee and Haskell, and worked with his father until May 6, 1917,
when he enlisted in the U. S. Army Air Corps, for four years. He received his training
at Fort Logan, Colorado; Fort Douglas, Utah; Fort Dodge, Iowa; and Kelly Field,
Texas. He was then stationed at Mitchell Field, Long Island, New York, and from
there was sent to England, March 1918 and did duty in England, Scotland and France.
He was returned to the United States and discharged, June 18, 1920. He returned to
Oklahoma, and operated a bus line between Fort Smith, Arkansas, and Tulsa, Okla-
homa. He sold out in 1929 and opened a mill and lumber yard at Stilwell, Oklahoma.
He is presently (1952) a building contractor at Stilwell. A tall, compactly built man,
he has a genial personality and many friends. Although mechanically gifted, he has a
penetratingly analytical mind and is thoroughly informed on many subjects.
He married first, January 5, 1920, Beatrice Byers, a New York girl. Although well
received and well liked when Otho brought her to Oklahoma after the war, she could

not adjust to life in the southwest, and after a stay of about two years, returned to
New York. Rumor has it that she obtained a divorce reluctantly after some delay.

cameraman, over targets in France, northern Italy, Rumania, Yugoslavia, Hungary,
Austria, and made at least nine raids on the Ploesti oil fields, one of the most heavily
defended targets in Europe. On one mission over an aircraft factory at Wiener Neustadt,
Austria, after dropping their bombs, the crew flew on to Limberg, Russia, for refueling,
before making the return to their base, and another mission into Poland, refueling
near Kiev, Russia. On one raid over Ploesti, two engines were knocked out at 1 1 a.m.,
target hour, and they nursed the plane toward their hise on two engines until a third
engine caught on fire, when they headed out into the Adriatic Sea, and bailed out near

AG I JAMES SCOTT (1760-1823), Blount County, Tennessee
James Scott, pioneer settler and citizen of Blount County, Tennessee, was born in
1760, but there is controversy about the actual place of his birth. According to one
source, he was born in Ireland, one of a large family, and emigrated as a young man to
Virginia.6 He married in Virginia, and migrated very early to Blount County, being
one of the first settlers in the county. He was one of the signers of the Petition of the
Inhabitants of the Western Country which was presented to the North Carolina legis-
lature in December 1787, praying for the establishment of a separate state for the people
living west of the Unaka mountains.18 He was a soldier in the Indian Wars of 1790
or 1796, and commanded a regiment and was wounded in the battle fought on the
Little Tennessee River.1 Blount County was established by an Act of the Territorial
Assembly, passed July 11, 1795, and Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions was organized
on the second Monday of September 1795, at the home of Abraham Wear. The justices
present were William Wallace, William Lowry, James Scott, Oliver Alexander, David
Craig, and George Ewing.2 James Scott was appointed a justice of the peace by Governor
William Blount on August 3, 1795.15 James was commissioned a captain of the Ten-
nessee Militia on October 10, 1796.3 In 1793, he recorded in Knox County, Tennessee,
his stock brand, his mark being "a crop off the left ear and a swallow fork off the right."*
His first years in Blount County were spent in a blockhouse6 after which he built
a log cabin on his farm6 which consisted of 640 acres.1 On at least one occasion after
he had built his cabin, he and his wife were forced to return to the blockhouse because
of an Indian raid, and James with the other men fired through the portholes while his
wife and the other women moulded bullets at the hearth.* John Sevier called James
his "right-hand man" and said he never wanted to go on an Indian campaign without
him riding by his side. He was a remarkable woodsman and accompanied Sevier con-
stantly on his forays against the Indians.* James served as direct representative from
Blount County to the Second General Assembly of the newly formed State of Tennessee,
at Knoxville in 1797; in the Third Assembly in 1799; the Fifth Assembly in 1803; the
Sixth Assembly in 1805; and the seventh Assembly in 1807.
After the Indians were subdued, cotton became an important industry in the county
and a large number of cotton gins were erected. Those in operation in 1802 were
owned by Thomas Berry, James Scott, Samuel Houston, William Stanfield, William
Lowry and Patrick Collins.2
James achieved prosperity and prominence in his chosen county and the Blount
County Court Minutes are replete with his functions in an official capacity as late as
1815. He and his wife, Jane, are found in a list of the membership of the New Provi-
dence Presbyterian Church on May 10, 1818. Robert and Margaret Scott were also
shown in the same list.17
He sold his home and moved to Knoxville in the next county sometime after 1815,
as he and his wife were dismissed by letter from the New Providence Church member-
ship, September 22, 1821, apparently moving their membership to the First Presbyterian
Church of Knoxville.17 James first built a log house on North Broadway near present
day Lawson Avenue, being directly across Broadway from the later location of his son's
flour mill. This log house was late* weatherboarded. A small brick house was later
built across First Creek and on the west side of Broadway. He died, intestate, August
30, 1823, and is buried in First Presbyterian churchyard in downtown Knoxville. His
grave is covered with a granite blanket which bears the following inscription, clearly
legible at this late date (1946) : "James Scott, died August 30, 1823, aged 63 years."
He married in Virginia, Jane Adams, who was born in 1760, and whose sister married
Captain Samuel Henley.19 One account says James had played with Jane as a child in
SCOTT FAMILY
579
Ireland, and after reaching America, sent a message to her proposing marriage and
offering to return to Ireland for her, but she replied that some of her relatives were
coming to America and she would accompany them. This she did and married a man
she had not seen since he was a mere lad.6 However, her obituary states that she was
born in Virginia and settled in East Tennessee while it was still a part of North Carolina.
She easily adapted to pioneer ways and on more than one occasion stood by her husband's
side while repelling raids by the Indians. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church
for more than 50 years.8 She died at Knoxville, at the home of her son-in-law, John
M. Davis, and is buried beside her husband in First Presbyterian churchyard. Her head-
stone carries the following inscription, also legible: "In Memory of Jane Scott, consort
of James Scott, Sen., who died August 10, 1837, aged 77 years. Blessed are the dead
Which die in the Lord."

AG II JAMES SCOTT, JR. (1797-1838), Knoxville, Tennessee
James Scott, Jr., son of James Scott, Sr. and Jane Adams, was born in Blount
County, Tennessee, March 12, 1797. He moved to Knoxville as a young man and
established the Scott Flour Mills which were in operation for more than a hundred
years. The mill was built between north Broadway and First Creek, near Coker Avenue.
After his marriage, he lived first in a small brick home built by his father, meanwhile
having his slaves make bricks for a new home. He prospered and in 1833, built a large
handsome brick home across the road from the small brick house which was then torn
down. This new home which he named "Cedar Grove" became noted as one of Ten-
nessee's handsomest dwellings because of its architecture, construction, and interior
furnishings which included one room finished with imported French wallpaper. The
Scott farm covered a large area comprising "Scott Hill" and portions of present day
Oakwood. He was known as "colonel" because of his service in the Tennessee militia.
He earned also the title of peacemaker because of his role of conciliator between his
friends when disputes arose. He died during the cholera epidemic of 1838, while min-
istering to his friends and neighbors without regard for his own health, September 14,
1838. He is buried beside his mother in First Presbyterian churchyard, in downtown
Knoxville.

AG III FRANCIS ALEXANDER RAMSAY SCOTT (1827-1909), Knoxville, Tenn.
Francis Alexander Ramsay Scott, son of James Scott, Jr. and Eliza Jane Naomi
Bane Alexander Ramsay, was born in his father's first brick home at Knoxville, October
12, 1827. He grew to manhood in Knoxville, and graduated from the East Tennessee
University (now University of Tennessee) in 1846. His interest in his alma mater
never faltered and he afterwards served as one of its trustees for 40 years. He became
associated with John S. VanGilder in the ownership of the Knoxville Leather Company,
located on the present site of the L. & N. R. R. station. He also owned the Scott Mill-
ing Company and was president of the Central Savings Bank, located in the building
now occupied by the Park National Bank. Although prominent in business and civic
affairs, he was a man of literary gifts and a profound student of history and current
affairs; but for his preoccupation with business he could have become one of the state's
foremost writers. A lifelong member of Third (now Fifth Avenue) Presbyterian
Church, in his mature years he divided his time and attention between it and the
SCOTT FAMILY 583
University of Tennessee, both of which were very close to his heart. He built a hand-
some home on Scott Hill on the exact present site of St. Marys Hospital which he
named "Oak Hill". He died, Nov. 13, 1909, and is buried in Old Gray cemetery,
Knoxville.18
He married, Sept. 24, 1857, at "Fruit Hill," Knoxville, Margaretta Frances Deaderick

AG HI JAMES FOSTER SCOTT, SR. (1836-1922), Knoxville, Tenn.
James Foster Scott, Sr., son of James Scott, Jr. and Eliza Jane Naomi Bane Alexander
Ramsay, was born at Knoxville, Tennessee, July 8, 1836. He served with the Con-
federate Army during the Civil War and at its termination found himself in Alabama

married, afterwards living for awhile at Lafayette, Alabama, where his first child was
born. He returned to Knoxville before the birth of his second child in 1871. He took

he reached Logan County, Kentucky, he was offered 500 acres of fine red limestone land
located 20 miles south of Russellville, for one pair of his wagon horses. He declined
the offer and moved on north 38 miles to the timber area, and settled on Wolf Lick
Creek, in the extreme northern portion of the county, near Dunmore. He became a
successful farmer and great horse trader, and was well liked and respected. He died at

WILLIAM CAMPBELL-OBITUARY
From newspaper, Vermont, Illinois, dated July 1, 1873.
The measure of the life of William Campbell— spanning almost a century— ended with
June. William Campbell was born in Scotland in the year 1774, and was, consequently, in his
ninety-ninth year at the time of his decease, which occurred at 6 o'clock last evening. From
Scotland he removed to Ireland where he remained until 1811, when he emigrated to Danville,
Pa. Twenty-five years ago he came to Fulton County and settled near Canton where he re-
sided until three years since. He is the father of two children, one of whom, Joseph, died in
the army ten years ago, and the other, Elizabeth, now lives near Cuba, in this county. Twenty
years ago, on the death of his wife, Mr. Campbell became an inmate of the house of his son
Joseph, and lived with that family until the time of his death. He was, by occupation, a stone
mason, and industriously pursued his avocation until age and infirmity compelled him to
desist. For seven years, of the last of his life, he was lost to sight and hearing, and was sup-
ported by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sylva Campbell. This lady, aged fifty-four years, the
mother of nine children, all of whom she has raised respectably, and the widow of Joseph
Campbell above referred to, for her tender care of, and daughterly kindness to, this good old
man, cannot be sufficiently praised by me. Kind, indulgent and watchful, she is a model of
goodness. Mr. Campbell, was for seventy-eight years, and until the close of his life, a member
of the Presbyterian church, an upright and consistent Christian, and for seventy-two years was
a member of the Masonic Order. During his three years residence in Vermont, deprived as
he was, of his sense of seeing, he was but little known to our citizens, and, I am sorry to say,
was entirely unknown to me during his lifetime.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. W. Faris, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church, and the remains of the aged man were quietly interred in the cemetery this afternoon.

Camp at Vera Cruz, Sept. 18, 1847.
Dear Brothers Not having heard from you for sometime nor having written, I feel some
anxiety to know what you are all doing— for my part I am doing something that will at least
surprise you— three or four months ago I wished to see Mexico to see and experience the
pleasures and pains of a volunteer, companies being organized at that time in the queen city—
I with some of my friends joined one of them commanded by Capt. Pugh a young lawver of
some eminence in Cincinnati and withal a fine young fellow which may be said of all our
APPENDIX 595
company both officers and men we fancy that we "can't be beat" by anything that has ever been
turned out here. To "skip" over a couple of months we land at Brasos Santiago which is
nothing but sand but used as a depot for Uncle Sam's stores, no people live here except those
who come for the purpose of making money which can be made very easily as mechanics get
from 70 to 80 dollars per month, that is, house carpenters, ship carpenters, blacksmiths, and
any trade that is carried on here., we stayed here only long enough to unship our provisions
and then marched to the mouth of the Rio Grande 9 miles distant remained about a day and
took steamboat up the river as far as Matamoras which to us seemed a very ordinary place
the houses being built mostly of reeds and a sort of half burnt brick and very low this we
understand is the style of Mexican building generally the houses seldom attaining to more than
one story in the small towns; the climate agrees with us all very well we have not lost a single
man since we left Ohio, our stay here has been one month when we went downstream again
for the Brasos there being a bar of sand across the mouth of the Rio Grande which prevents
shipping from coming in we crossed that Gulf once more, bound for Vera Cruz to join Genl
Scott our trip across sea was rather rough but thanks to good fortune we arrived here safe
and sound expecting to be on our march tomorrow and in a fight on the second day's march so
that not knowing the vicissitudes of war I may be amongst the slain but of course hope for
the best; should I be killed which you can ascertain by writing to Capt. Pugh Queen city-
guards 4th Regt. Ohio Vol. Hoping to get a letter from you on receipt of this, I remain

P. S. The 150 acres land due me, if I die here, I want you all to share it equally.

THOMAS FLENNIKEN D'ARMOND of Clinton, La. Newspaper article.
From Southern Watchman, Clinton, La., April 11, 1890.
MEMORIAL TO CAPTAIN THOMAS F. D'ARMOND, one of the heroes of 8th Ward.
The subject of this short memoir is Captain Thomas F. D'Armond, a son of the late
Captain Samuel D'Armond who resided many years previous to the War of 1812 on the borders
of the Comite River, East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, near Mississippi line of demarcation.
Said Captain Samuel D'Armond was a planter by occupation. He raised up to majority four
sons, filled with patriotism like every other Tennessan. When General Jackson called for
military aid in 1812, said Captain D'Armond gathered his four sons, including himself, and
enlisted under Captain L. C. Griffeths' Horse Company, commanded by Colonel Hinds. In the
company with O. Harrells and C. Chaneys, all of this Parish, and many others who soon joined
Jackson's army at New Orleans, doing active military services until the close of the campaign
in 1815, when the war closed.
Our hero (Captain Thomas F. D'Armond) then returned home. He went to his little
home, a poor man with a small family, wife and one child. He was, however, the owner of
a rich tract of land four miles east of Clinton, Louisiana. . . Without a dollar, here in his
primary manhood, stamped on his verdant heart were the symbols of truth, virtue, honesty,
fair-dealing, frugality and industry. He possessed no other guide but a practical application
to his own affairs. He soon began to amply reap the rewards of honest and industrious earn-
ings as the first savings of an honorable farmer. In a few years, being the favorite of fortune
and success, [he] was placed in the front ranks of the distinguished planters of the Parish for
opulence and influence in his ward that gave a magnetism to the progress of civilization and
material growth whose valuable influences are felt to this day.
In addition to the aforesaid mentioned graces that make up this good and brave man and
true citizen, he was a kind husband, father and master; his generous doors were thrown open
to aid the wanting. In after life he became a devoted Christian, a member of the Baptist
denomination and associated and belonged to the Hephzibah church, 8th Ward. His wife was
the mother of four children, two sons and two daughters. He reared them to the age of
majority and witnessed their marriages in his own parish. He maintained all the vigor of his
fruitful and well-balanced mind until the day of his death that occurred in his 70th year. He
died at his old homestead in 1865, which was drained of its wealth by the rude hand of a cruel
war. His two sons are still living, monuments that honorably perpetuate the memory of their
devoted father. Our old time friend and fellow citizen, the prince of merchants for more than
half a century, J. G. D'Armond of Clinton, still remains the polished shaft to represent the
hero of 1812.
John M. Roberts
THOMAS HENRY D'ARMOND of Johnson City, Tennessee. An address made by him before
a meeting of the United Daughters of the Confederacy at Johnson City, Tennessee, date
not recorded:
At the request of the UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY, I have compiled
a graphic history of my War Record, from April 30, 1861, to July 4, 1865. I have omitted many
incidents I did not deem essential, and have endeavored to make the statement as brief as
possible.
614 APPENDIX
On the 30th day of April, 1861, the Hunter Rifles, a volunteer company— the first company
to enlist in the Confederate States cause-was organized, 175 strong, when young men from 16
up to 30 years old, assembled at the Clinton depot, and departed for New Orleans, Louisiana.
The scenes that took place at that depot that morning beggar description. Hundreds of
mothers, wives, sisters and friends were there to say farewell, with an affectionate kiss, and
"God be with you till we meet again".
When the company arrived at New Orleans, we marched through the city, thousands on
the streets and sidewalks cheering us with their smiles. We camped several days in a cotton
press. From this cotton press, we marched to the Metonep] Race Course. We then learned that
the company had to be divided into two companies, to be received into a regiment after the
division. The Companies were named Company A and Company B, Hunter Rifles, after the
name of our captain, S. E. Hunter. I enrolled in Company B, Hunter Rifles, being composed
of the youngest men; and the companies elected their respective officers.
After remaining at this camp for several weeks, learning how to do good duty, we were sent
to Camp Moore, ninety miles from New Orleans, on the New Orleans and Jackson Railroad,
and there sworn into the regular Confederate army for one year, and put into the Fourth
Regiment of Louisiana Infantry. After the organization, the regiment remained at this camp
for sometime; then was sent to guard the Mississippi borders, embracing many small towns,
including Ship Island. We remained at these designated places for several months, and then
were sent to northern Louisiana, where it was reported that the Federal troops were contemplat-
ing capturing two important points— Brashicr City and Borwick Bay. After our stay here for
several months, orders were received for the regiment to move at a moment's notice to the front.
After the necessary preparations, the regiment was very soon on the cars, destination unknown
till we arrived at Jackson, Tennessee, and our colonel reported to General Beauregard, who
was organizing an army at Corinth. Mississippi.
While camped at Jackson, Tennessee, many letters were received from devoted parents,
sisters and friends. What memories these letters call up, and how far they go toward moving
the arm of the soldier boys; inspiring, and adding hope and cheers to the feelings of despon-
dency.
The members of the regiment now began to realize that they would soon stand by the side
of those who wore the gray to defend the colors adopted by the Confederate government.
On March 13, 1861, orders were issued for immediate move from Jackson, Tennessee: all
supplies and baggage were packed and stored for safe keeping. This was the second time the
regiment was compelled to reduce their baggage.
While at the depot waiting for cars to be hauled to our destination, many ladies and
friends were at the depot to say goodbye. One in particular claimed my attention; her stooping
figure, tottering gait and silver hair impelled me to her side. Smiling sweetly, her little basket
full of something to eat was tendered to me, with a "God bless you". Willingly she had given
her only son to the Cause of Liberty. He had fallen at Fort Donelson. The train was now
ready to move, and I left her to secure a seat in the car.
Soon the regiment moved forward to Little Bethel. It had been raining in torrents during
the day. The boys left the cars and bivouaced for the night, selecting places and raking up
wet leaves upon the wet ground to spread their blankets for a night's rest. I located a large
tree; my head covered with my blanket, to protect my body from the freezing March winds.
After remaining five days, the regiment moved to Corinth, Mississippi, being a point of
great importance, and troops arriving every day from all points.
Sunday, March 30th, General Beauregard made his tour of inspection, saying very soon
we would have the opportunity of driving the enemy from his den. His appearance was the
picture of generosity, wisdom and heroism. April 1st, the regiment marched to Monterey,
fourteen miles from Corinth, followed by the balance of the brigade and the army. April 3rd,
the Confederate army was in proper position. April 4th, rations were issued and cooked; guns
cleaned up, ready for business. At four o'clock, p.m., the Fourth Louisiana marched towards
Shiloh. On the right of the regiment, the Washington artillery arrived and halted, and great
were the shouts of those gallant men when they recognized the Fourth Louisiana regiment.
At eight o'clock, p.m., the march was resumed. Rain began to fall in torrents: the night was
APPENDIX 615
very dark; the roads almost impassable for man or beast; the boys slipping and falling. Yet
they plodded on without a murmur. At midnight the regiment halted; made fires to dry their
wet clothes. Early morning, April 5th, the march continued. At eleven a.m. we heard artillery
firing in our front. The Fourth regiment was halted and formed; knapsacks deposited in an
old field. General Gibson's brigade, the Fourth being a part, was moved in advance of the
division, the same rule being observed by all the troops.
BATTLE OF SH1LOH
Before daylight on Sunday morning, the 6th of April, the troops were ordered into line.
The whole army was moving forward in line of battle. On our right we heard musketry.
This we ascertained to be the tactician Hardee. A few moments after the firing increased, both
on the right and left. So far as the eye could see, were the Southern troops, dressed in various
uniforms. Their bright bayonets and muskets gleamed beautifully in the sunlight. How grand
was the opening cf the conflict! But how sad to both armies was its close. The Fourth Lou-
isiana was held in reserve, which produced great dissatisfaction, fearing the Fourth would fail
to participate in the conflict. But only a few moments, and the regiment was ordered to
support the Washington artillery, which had taken position upon an eminence, and was
shelling the Federal line. The enemy soon began to respond to the Crescent City boys, with
such precision as to astonish us, believing artillery duels were only guesswork. Their shots
made some excitement among the boys— cutting off tree tops over our heads. Shell, shot and
grape came hissing and howling through the woods, wounding several of the boys. Very soon
the artillery moved to another position of the field. The Fourth Louisiana moved on in quick
time, and, by orders, charged the enemy and pursued them some distance, and found the
Federal camp deserted. Loose horses, mules, deserted wagons, ambulances, commissary, quarter-
master and other stores were found in abundance. The boys, after this charge on the Yankee
line, began searching for booty, and discovered the Federal troops had left their tents, leaving
hot biscuits and smoking coffee and fried ham on their tables. Here again the boys were
annoyed by shells from Federal batteries, and often compelled us to hug the ground. "Stand
up, boys; damn it, let 'em shoot." observed our unflinching Colonel Allen, of the Fourth
Louisiana. The boys resolved to keep an eye on "Old Wabash," as he was familiarly termed.
Very soon another shell came hissing through the air and exploded near him. The
colonel apparently did not notice it, but I felt that every hair on my head assumed a standing
attitude.
A few moments later the Fourth moved forward, halted, and was fired into from the rear
by a Tennessee regiment, who had first come up. By this unhappy circumstance, several of
the members of the regiment were killed and wounded. Again orders were received, and we
moved to support the Washington artillery. Several of our horses were killed, and others had
their harness shot completely off— and many left without riders; and my company suffered
likewise, together with many others from other companies of the Fourth regiment.
After a few moments, we again moved, facing a dense forest of saplings and fallen trees,
almost impassable; but the boys were ready and in trim for action. The order to fix bayonets
sounded along the line. The order was given to advance, and the boys moved cheerfully for-
ward, and, passing several hundred yards, the foe was found; and the first reception of his
presence was from a liquid flame of death poured upon our front and flank. Taken thus by
surprise, the regiment thrown against a concealed foe over three limes our number, the regi-
ment wavered for a moment; but, regaining their fortitude, pressed forward and returned the
fire of the enemy, who were scarcely fifty yards from us. So terrific had been the fire poured
upon the members of the regiment, that our ranks were terribly thinned in a few seconds.
The dead, dying and wounded were lying profusely on the ground, over which we had passed
I am slow to believe that a more deadly fire was ever opened upon a body of men during
the sad bloody revolution which was closed.
The regiment was withdrawn, again formed and made a flank move; charged and drove
the Federal troops from their entrenched and hidden places. It was now late in the evening;
the sun was descending beneath the trees of the west. Our army had won the field at all points,
the enemy retreating in great disorder, seeking protection under cover of their gunboats in the
616 APPENDIX
Tennessee river. The victory was ours; yet no rejoicing. The tidings had reached the troops
that our great General Albert Sidney Johnston had fallen, leading his soldier boys charging
the enemy.
What soldier could rejoice over this victory, when such a patriotic hero had sacrificed his
life in defense of his duty— the Lost Cause? To say nothing of that struggle; some soldier boy
had lost either a brother, relative, friend or companion, sufficient to produce a sad depression
of the heart.
As the last rays of the declining sun were about to disappear, almost exhausted with the
fatigue of the day, together with two days of marching and from want of sleep, I stepped from
my position in line, and strolled over the field of recent carnage. To picture its horrors is
impossible. I continued my stroll over the bloody field of Shiloh, and gazed as I did upon the
maimed, bleeding and mangled bodies of dead and dying fellow creatures, who lay stretched
inanimate on the ground; and upon the brink of every rivulet, where in the agonies of death,
they had crawled to bathe their limbs or moisten their parched lips; in addition to listening
to the moans of death and shrieks of those whose glazed eyes were turned imploringly to
Heaven. Never will the picture of these dead and suffering heroes (for heroes they were)
pass from my mind's eye. During the day, when the fighting was terrible, the woods were full
of rabbits, running in every direction; and to add to the amusement, a hound dog joined our
regiment and gave chase to these frightened animals. They seemed to have lost all judgment,
and made their way through and by the boys' feet, with the hound dog close on their heels
seeking safety in the rear.
April 7th, the second day's engagement:— The rain suddenly ceased. No sooner had it
become sufficiently light than the conflict was renewed; the enemy having been reinforced
during the night, by General Buel, with 30,000 fresh troops; and he hurled his heavy columns
against our slender line with great effect. Had the Confederate troops a few more hours of
daylight on the 6th, we would have completed the rout, and secured several more thousands of
prisoners, and the best army the United States then had would have been captured, and
General Grant would not have been known to history from a military viewpoint, provided
he did not seek shelter on one of his transports, and say goodbye to his disorganized army.
The heavy rains on the evening of April 4th retarded the march of the Confederate Army,
and it was no fault of Generals Johnston and Beauregard. Our little army contended man-
fully for every inch of ground from an early hour in the morning, of the 7th, until three
o'clock in the evening. The fatigue of a six days' march, and two days' engagement over the
worst roads imaginable, rendered the Confederate boys unable to continue fighting. Falling back
slowly, our flanks and rear protected by that gallant General Breckenridge and his Kentucky
heroes, the Confederate army continued to retreat until it arrived at Corinth, Mississippi, when
General Beauregard issued his patriotic address to the boys.
After arriving at Corinth, Mississippi, the roll was called of the different companies; and
a deep sadness reigned in every bosom at the large number who failed to answer to their
names. The captain of my company was killed; the first and second lieutenants wounded, and
died on the morning of May 3rd.
The Fourth regiment was ordered to deliver their guns and all equipment over to the
ordnance sergeant. Rations were issued, and orders given to depart at an early hour on the
following morning, May 6th, to Vicksburg, Mississippi, and remain sometime doing guard duty.
On May 15th the regiment moved to a station, Edwards Depot, on the Jackson & Vicksburg
Railroad, twelve miles from Vicksburg, for the purpose of reorganization. During the battle
of Shiloh, many of the commissioned and non-commissioned officers were either killed or
wounded or captured. Elections were held in all companies, and the necessary officers elected.
The writer was elected first lieutenant, Company B, Hunter Rifles.
After the organization of the regiments, they returned to Vicksburg for duty. I deem it
useless to say anything about the regiment's stay at Vicksburg, as the boys did nothing but
picket duty, up and down the river. Both fleets of the enemy were anchored, above and below
the city, and continued to throw shells into the city during the day and night. It was indeed
a grand sight to behold and follow with the eye, the fiery specks which resembled as many
stars, as they arose from the mortar boats, and ascending to a certain height, descended to the
APPENDIX 617
earth and exploded; yet, strange to say, only a few buildings were damaged. But to witness
the hurry and alarm of the women, young and old, and listen to the heartrending shrieks ot
the children, was sufficient to move the heart of any man. Thus driven from their homes, in
which their fathers, husbands or sons had left them in security but a few months previous,
then to be thrown upon the cold charity of the world, without the strong arm of man to
provide for and protect them, they deserved heartfelt sympathy and pity.
At an early hour on the morning of July 26th, orders were issued; three days rations were
cooked; the regiment was crowded into box cars, leaving all the baggage, tents, cooking utensils,
etc., behind. The train hurried to Jackson, Mississippi, from there to Camp Moore, Louisiana.
After reviewing the troops, the march was resumed, headed for Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the
capital of the state. Commanded by Major General John C. Breckenridge, our little force of
2500 was cheerful. This little army was composed of Kentucky and Louisiana troops, who
were anxious to chastise the insolent foe, and drive them, if possible, into the Gulf of Mexico.
During the march from Camp Moore to our destination, the heat was fearful. The extreme
hot days of August and the dust were having a telling effect on the boys; and many had to fall
out of the ranks and seek shelter under the shade of trees.
The army arrived near Baton Rouge, August 5th; formed a line of battle; moved forward,
and the entire battle line made a charge, driving the enemy to the banks of the river. This
engagement was hot and severe. The casualties in the Fourth were few, but Col. Allen of the
Fourth fell early in the action, severely wounded in both legs by a charge of grapeshot. During
this battle the general commanding the Federal troops was killed. During the night the enemy
evacuated the town, by taking transports for New Orleans, Louisiana.
For many weeks the regiment marched to many points from Baton Rouge, engaged in
placing heavy batteries upon the river banks. The gunboats of the enemy moved up and
down the river, their port holes open, and the muzzles of their guns protruding. The enemy's
fleet opened a terrific bombardment upon Baton Rouge and our batteries, which continued
all night. The Fourth regiment was in the trenches, anticipating an attack by land forces, but
none appeared.
CAMPAIGN IN MISSISSIPPI
April 30th, the regiment was ordered to move at once to Jackson, Mississippi, to reinforce
General J. E. Johnston; the Federal troops marching from Vicksburg to attack the Confederate
troops at Jackson. The regiment marched over one hundred miles before arriving at Jackson.
Many of the Confederate soldiers, destitute of shoes, tramped barefooted, and continued to
march and re-march until June 30th. July 3rd, the Confederate army marched from Jackson,
and, if possible, to reach the rear of General Grant's army and relieve the army in Vicksburg.
Late in the evening of July 3rd, the army arrived and camped at what was named Bird Song
Pond in the woods. Very soon, I never heard so many bells at one time in my life— all sizes and
sounds— sheep and cowbells and horse bells. At first we supposed the people of that neighbor-
hood were coming to give us a grand serenade, and we were all peeping through the woods,
fully expecting to see the people coming; but to our surprise the caravan was composed of goats,
sheep, cattle and horses, coming to their accustomed place to quench their thirst; and each one
would wade into this celebrated pond, surrounded by high hills, and to further add to this
motley crew, ducks and geese were prominent, and would take a swim and an extended bath.
From the edges of this pond, two and a half to three feet, a green scum extended, which I
suppose was produced by the frequent visits as above referred to.
Now the problem was presented to the boys, how to get water drinkable. This matter
was very soon solved by going into the woods and cutting a long pole, confine our canteens to
the end of said pole, with the cork out, and reach the pole as far as possible, and sink as near
the bottom as possible, until the canteen was full; bring it to the Surface and haul it to the
bank. The water was clear and cool, but to the eye the general appearance of this water was
horrible. Knowing this water our only opportunity, we had to secure water to drink, and for
other purposes. The army remained here only a short time. Couriers arrived during the night
of July 4th, stating Vicksburg had fallen, and the news spread through the army. Orders
were issued to return to Jackson, Mississippi, with instructions to the sappers and miners to
618 APPENDIX
drain all ponds, fill up cisterns, etc. General Sherman, following closely on the heels of our
retreat, had many skirmishes with our rearguard.
On July 9th, General Joseph E. Johnston's small army arrived at Jackson, and took its
position in the trenches; not sufficient to stand a severe assault, and might easily have been
scaled or battered down.
July 10th the Fourth regiment was ordered out as skirmishers to drive the enemy's sharp
shooters from a position opposite our front. Company B, Hunters Rifles, of which I was in
command, deployed and marched forward and held the enemy in check. Brisk firing ensued,
and we captured three or four Federals. During the night we could hear the moving of artillery,
and the braying of mules. On the morning of July 11th, the firing was resumed, and continued
till late in the evening. The Fourth regiment advanced and drove the enemy before them,
burning the houses behind, in which they had sheltered themselves. Grape and shells from the
enemy's batteries poured upon us. In the engagement, a few of the boys were wounded. We
discovered the enemy had been reinforced, and we permitted them to come within a few yards
of our position. We opened a liquid flame of death upon them, and forced them to a hasty
retreat; in this engagement, two hundred and fifty prisoners, three battle flags and a large
amount of arms fell into our possession, and 100 were left on the field.
On the morning of the 14th, a flag of truce was sent by General Sherman to General
Johnston; and from two o'clock p.m. until 4:40, hostilities were discontinued by agreement,
and the dead buried. During the existence of the truce, some of the boys passed over the
ground where the Federals had fallen in their charge upon our works. The civilian who has
never passed over a battlefield where the head had been exposed to the scorching sun for
many hours, cannot picture its horrors. The mother would utterly fail in the recognition of
her son, to whom she had given birth and over whom she had watched so long and devotedly.
Swelled to double their natural proportions, and changed to the hue of the African, recog-
nition would be impossible. Will defer mention of the mode of burial of the dead bodies.
At 4:30 a single piece of artillery was fired by the enemy, as a signal for the renewal of
hostilities. Those only who have heard the constant report of artillery and the sharp crack
of a thousand rifles can appreciate a few hours of cessation. To the soldier, ragged, sunburned,
rough and in a demoralized condition, a few moments' rest reminds him of something more
than earthly.
On the 14th another attack was made and we repulsed the enemy with heavy loss.
On the 16th the ammunition train crossed the Pearl River. The army moved the same
night. This retreat from Jackson to Meridian, Mississippi, consisted of retreating and fighting,
marching day and night, in the middle of the summer, frequently drenched with continued
rain, and without tents to shelter them at night; many of the Confederate soldiers barefooted,
and rations very limited. This retreat was similar to the one from Big Black River, where the
enemy had almost surrounded General Johnston's little army; but he displayed great general-
ship, saved his army and won the confidence of the Confederate boys.
The surrender of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and this retreat from Jackson produced great
dissatisfaction, especially among those remaining at home and hiding out in the bushes. Their
criticisms were severe and were calculated to blast our cause, in which event the Angels of
Heaven might have conscientiously engaged.
On the 30th of August, the Fourth regiment was transferred to Mobile, Alabama; and
after remaining there for sometime, marched from point to point, including Fort Morgan,
which was erected in 1833. From here the brigade was sent in great haste to join General
Bragg's army, then contesting every inch of ground with General Grant, on Missionary Ridge.
The brigade arrived at Dalton, Georgia; finding the Confederates falling back, the trains loaded
with the wounded soldiers from the fields of great battle, the brigade remained a short time,
and returned to Mobile, Alabama.
SECOND CAMPAIGN IN MISSISSIPPI
The stay in Mobile was only a few days. Order was given to join General Loring's Con-
federate troops, at Meridian, Mississippi, who was retreating, hardpressed by the Federal troops,
commanded by General Sherman. The regiment joined the Confederate troops, and had many
severe battles, driving the enemy back with considerable loss, and checked their further advance
APPENDIX 619
forty-eight hours. The Confederate soldiers marched over fifty-six miles, and subsisted on half
a pound of bacon and a pound of bread. Yet no grumbling or straggling. Very soon the
regiment returned to Mobile, Alabama.
The patriotic ladies of that city presented a beautiful silk flag to the regiment, and in-
scribed upon it were the names of those fields the regiment had trodden. It was a sad moment,
to give up the old one, under which so many of our noble brave boys had yielded up their
young lives defending the lost cause, and calling to mind the many hard contested victories
which were ours. The boys honored and prized the old tattered flag.
The regiment was ordered to a point on the Alabama coast, Bon Secour. We passed a
ship engaged in running the blockade, from whose peak the flag of Great Britain waved to
the breeze; this emblem rendered illustrious upon the land and sea by those master spirits,
Wellington and Nelson, and called to mind the exalted position once occupied by the United
States in the eyes of the world.
On the 23rd of May, 1864, orders were received, and we were ordered to join the army
of General J. E. Johnston, who was confronting the enemy to save Atlanta, Georgia. The
different regiments assembled, forming the brigade, under General Quarles, and very soon
was on trains, destination, the army of General Johnston. Leaving the cars at Marrietta,
Georgia; and then the tramp for New Hope Church, distant some eighteen miles was begun.
During this march, hungry and fatigued, not a moment's rest was taken. The knowledge that
General Johnston was in need of reinforcements was sufficient cause and incentive for these
gallant soldiers from Louisiana and Tennessee. As we approached nearer, the report of
artillery was heard, which told of the presence of the enemy. About daylight on the morning
of the 27th, the brigade arrived near the entrenchments at New Hope Church. The brigade
was placed in the rear as reserves. A few moments before five o'clock, p.m., General Hood
ordered the brigade double quick to support General Cleburne's division, the enemy making
an effort to turn our right flank. To accomplish this, the brigade had to pass over three miles
of ground. Reaching the gap made by the enemy, the Fourth Louisiana, commanded by Colonel
Hunter, formerly our captain, advanced and drove the enemy from near our trenches and
past their own trenches, and filled up the gap. It was dark; and during the charge several of
our regiment were wounded.
The following morning, a large number of the enemy was found dead on the ground.
To advance upon an enemy whose force and position is unknown, in the darkness of night, with
only the bright flash of the rifle, and to designate their locality, is not very pleasant, and
sufficient to cause the stoutest heart to quail.
During this charge I lost my watch, but wrote a notice of same and posted it on the door
of New Hope Church, giving my name, rank, regiment and brigade, and description of the
watch. I never heard anything of my watch until the army had retreated and arrived at
Atlanta, during the month of August, when the colonel of a Tennessee regiment, a personal
friend of Colonel Hunter, of the Fourth, sent word, and I was requested to go to the colonel
of a Tennessee regiment which I did; and, after the usual preliminaries, the colonel was
satisfied that the watch was my property, and handed me the package, neatly done up, and with
the notice attached. I state this to show that many of the soldiers had not forgotten their
early training by a devoted mother.
After this engagement, the brigade tramped to support weak places in the line of the army.
The feelings of the boys at this period, as they stood face to face and in close proximity to
the enemy and expecting to be led to them, caused them to yearn for the clash of steel and
the smoke of battle; a desire to chastise an invading foe led them to forget the chances of
battle. The soldiers of the army of Tennessee had become familiar with blood and carnage.
Many of their dearest relatives and friends had fallen at their side, and their homes had been
despoiled; dear ones insulted, and many of their compatriots were confined in Northern
prisons. In the hour of combat they were firm and adamant. Half clothed, half-fed and unpaid,
they did not grumble; although they left their footprints, marked in blood upon the ground,
they did not fail to march and face cannon, bayonets, breastworks and superior numbers:
these did not deter them in an assault. Great Heavens! what fiend, save the inglorious Pollard,
620 APPENDIX
would-be historian, could rise to brand with infamy such heroes as the soldiers of the late
Confederate army.
When our army arrived at Kennesaw Mountain, we had a battery of artillery on top of
this mountain, shelling the enemy marching on the different roads approaching our army.
The writer received that morning from his girl in Louisiana, two beautiful blue linen shirts;
and putting them carefully under my arm, I decided I would climb this mountain and take
a view of this grand sight. The shells from our battery were very destructive to the Federal
troops. Very soon the Federal artillery came near, and the second shot put our battery out of
commission. The Federal artillery was shelling our troops, treetops and limbs were falling
plentifully. When I returned to the regiment, I discovered that my shirts were missing. My
grief was great. I at once retraced my steps and again ascended the mountain, taking my
chances with falling treetops, limbs, etc., to recover my valuable loss; but disappointment was
the result.
Orders were received, transferring the Fourth regiment to General Gibson's Louisiana
brigade. This transfer was opposed by the boys of the Fourth regiment, for the reason that
the Louisiana boys had been associated with the Tennessee boys, marching and fighting side
by side, which had created a devotion and an attachment for each other.
AT ATLANTA, GEORGIA
When both armies arrived at Atlanta, Georgia, commanded respectively by General John-
ston and General Sherman, hostilities in a measure became quiet. Occasionally some excitement
on picket or skirmish lines. The troops of both armies became rather sociable; and after details
were posted, relieving those on duty at eight p.m., the guards of the Federal troops would
hallo, saying, "Johnnie, meet us halfway and bring some tobacco; we have the hard tack and
bacon!" The invitation was readily accepted. The Confederate soldiers had the tobacco and
the Federal soldiers had the rations. This mutual agreement extended on the dividing lines for
sometime, and both who wore the blue and the gray enjoyed their few moments of pleasant
conversation. When parting, each one would say, "Shoot high the next day." Another reason,
the soldiers of both armies believed, was to give the officers the opportunity to take an inventory
of the shattered ranks of the different companies and regiments, etc., and the recognition of
the same.
During this period of inactivity, Mr. Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate govern-
ment, placed himself in correspondence with General Johnston, anxious to learn his future
plans; but General Johnston's reply was not satisfactory. Yet Mr. Davis had implicit confidence
in General Johnston, and recognized him as having few equals and no superior as a general
commanding a Confederate army. The great trouble was the pressure brought to bear on
Mr. Davis by the senators and representatives in Congress from Georgia, together with many
of the most prominent citizens, all calling on Mr. Davis at his office every day, to ascertain
from General Johnston his future intentions. The result was, General Johnston was relieved
of the command of the army, and General J. B. Hood was appointed as General Johnston's suc-
cessor. I assure you the removal of General Johnston produced great dissatisfaction with both
the officers and the Confederate troops. We all loved General Johnston, and when he was
relieved of the command it created sad feelings and discouragement in the Confederate army,
which was never removed during the last days of the lost cause.
After the Civil War, I fortunately had an extended conversation with Mr. Davis, on a
steamboat, going to New Orleans, and he gave me the information above stated.
July 27, 1864, the Fourth Louisiana was detailed to relieve those on the skirmish line.
The writer and another officer were in command of the line. The enemy charged, supported
by heavy forces; the regiment checked their charge, killing and wounding many, but we were
forced to retire. The second lieutenant of my company was captured, but escaped by knocking
down the Federal officer with a pine knot. The next morning was a bloody epoch. At daylight
part of the army marched, and very soon faced the enemy in their fortified works. During
this move we were exposed to the sharpshooters, concealed, and many of our troops yielded
up their lives in defense of home and country. Our lines adjusted, we made the charge, but
failed to drive them from their breastworks. The killed, wounded and captured were heavy.
The writer was in command of his company, 37 for duty in the ranks; after this battle, the
APPENDIX 621
roll was called, and 17 were missing. Imagine the great grief of those who escaped death or
wounds, when they gathered around their camp fires, referring to their dead companions, com-
panies without an officer and without a command.
July 29th: I will omit particulars of the move of part of the army from Atlanta, Ga., to
a small town named Jonesboro, Georgia. The line of the troops was arranged; the orders to
charge the fortifications of the enemy, strongly supported by 304 lines of battle in their rear.
The loss to the Confederate soldiers was terrible; slaughter pens not equalling the casualties
of this battle. Fifty percent would not cover the loss of the Fourth Louisiana regiment. Ten
men in my company, and every man killed, wounded or captured; only one escaping, and he
was wounded; a fellow named Joe Noble.
The Confederate troops fell back, the men scattered and without officers, and coming
to the writer they were anxious to know what to do. I gave the order to join my noble company.
After the close of the war I met some who were in that battle, and they would repeat that
order I had given at Jonesboro, Georgia, after the shattered ranks of the Confederate troops
and the remnants were gathered together and marched back to Atlanta.
TENNESSEE CAMPAIGN
After the disastrous and bloody repulse of the Confederate troops of July 28th, and August
31st, at Jonesboro, Ga., General Hood organized the shattered Confederate troops and headed
for Nashville, Tennessee. I will omit the struggles and fatigue of this wild goose march, only
one. The Fourth regiment was detailed to capture a regiment of Federal troops nearby. We
surprised the enemy; they made a hasty retreat; in numbers they were three times as many as
the Fourth. They left large quantities of commissary stores. Tired and jaded as we were, we
appropriated every ounce, not leaving anything behind. The natural conclusion is, every man
was his own commissary.
The march continued through mud and rain, until the army arrived at Columbia, Ten-
nessee. This town was occupied by Federal troops. Doubtless you remember the Federal troops
escaped and made a hurried retreat to Franklin, Tennessee. I will not relate the slaughter of
the Confederate generals and troops at this place. The Federal troops fell back to Nashville,
Tenn., followed by the Confederate army, and remained there several days, building temporary
breastworks, and giving Federal General Thomas ample time to organize a large army in
Nashville.
December 15th, the Federal troops advanced and a severe battle continued till late in the
evening. The Confederate troops fell back some three miles, and during the night threw up
some breastworks. The enemy advanced near our line and began a furious attack with artillery
for several hours, without effect. Finally, a negro brigade commanded by white officers,
assaulted the Fourth and other regiments, and we repulsed them with great slaughter. To
the eye of the white officers, the negroes were piled up five feet deep. Late in the evening the
enemy succeeded in turning the extreme left of the Confederate army, which created a stam-
pede on the entire line. Many of the Fourth regiment were wounded and captured. The
writer was captured while on picket duty by cavalry, December 17, 1864, and hauled from
Nashville to Johnson Island, Ohio, in box car— recently used by cattle and hogs— very filthy,
and was compelled to stand up 48 hours. Arrived at Sandusky City; left the cars and walked
across Lake Erie on ice, three miles, to Johnson Island; the weather 28 degrees below zero.
There we were relieved of clothing, boots, shoes, money, watches, pocket knives, finger rings,
and everything of any value. Our clothing was replaced and we marched to prison pen. It
was now late in the evening.
A confederate friend (a prisoner) met me and said he would supply me with cooking
articles. The next morning he handed me a small oyster can, saying this was the thing used to
prepare our food. I was assigned to block No. 11; room 12 by 30 feet; the number of inmates
in this room, thirty or more. My bed was on the floor, with one small blanket as a protection,
to keep from freezing during the night. In the middle of this room, was a small old-fashioned
wood stove, No. 22. Every morning, from 12 to 15 oyster cans, filled with water, and the
allotted daily rations: the balance waiting till first served. I soon discovered the use and value
of my oyster can. Our rations for 24 hours consisted of four ounces of pickled pork or side
salted bacon, and four ounces of bread. Our method of cooking was to put the pork in the
622 APPENDIX
oyster can filled with water, and boil till done, then devour the meat from the bone or bones;
and boil till soft sufficient to grind with the teeth. We had more pork rations than bacon.
The Federal government adopted these rules and regulations to punish the helpless Con-
federal* prisoners, for the reason that we fought for our rights and stood by our colors, and
defended our homes and those near and dear to us.
I remained in this prison for six months. It is impossible to realize the suffering of
continued hunger. When Generals Lee and Johnston surrendered, all the prisoners were
released and returned to their desolated homes in the South.
My War Record was April 30, 1861, to July 4, 1865. The Georgia Campaign, from Atlanta
to Nashville, Tenn., the Confederate Army arrived at Nashville, Tenn., during December, 1864.
General J. B. Hood was in command; and doubtless a correct description of the destruction of
that army has been published, and I did not include this in my war record.
With my best wishes that the United Daughters of the Confederacy will be pleasant and
productive of much good, I am with great respect,

". . . and cannot do hard work, he was very sick last April, we thought we were going to
lose him; the children all had the measles last Spring, and they all took the flux after the
measles; the flux set the hardest on Norman; he was very low; at the same time there was a
little girl of a neighbor living in the same house with us who died with the same disease.
She was not sick so long as Norman but was so much younger and not so able to stand sickness.
Norman has never seemed to have much strength since, and I fear he will never be a stout
man, but Rolla is hale, hearty, and handsome, and learns well at school. Dolphie is small and
delicate but seems well & hearty; he is full of life and mischief. Ernest is healthy and very
large for his age; he does not speak plain, and I sometimes think he never will, though he is
as smart as any of them and has an excellent memory. I believe I have told you all that will
be of interest this time; my own health is quite good; much better than in Penna. When you

ABNER GATES JACKSON of Knoxville, Term. Obituary.
Knoxville Daily Whig, Wednesday, Dec. 15, 1869.
The funeral obsequies over the remains of A. G. Jackson, Esq., deceased, will take place
tomorrow, commencing at the residence of the deceased, at 11 o'clock. Public services will be
held at the First Presbyterian Church at half-past one o'clock. The cortege will leave the church
for the Cemetery at two o'clock precisely. The funeral services at the church will be conducted
by the Rev. G. Taylor. The Presbyterian Church was kindly tendered for the occasion on
account of its large capacity. The remains will then be taken charge of by the Masonic brother-
hood, and will be buried with Masonic honors. The public are respectfully invited to pay a
last tribute to the deceased.
Ibid., Editorial.
We make the painful announcement this morning that Col. Abner G. Jackson, one of our
oldest, best and most favorably known citizens, died yesterday afternoon at his residence near
Knoxville. Col. Jackson had long been suffering from an injury received in this city, by being
thrown from a buggy, and for sometime past no hopes have been entertained of his recovery.
Abner Gates Jackson died at his residence, near this city, on yesterday at twenty minutes
past [before] three o'clock. Just three months ago, and one day, he was going to his home, in
his buggy, and his horse became frightened, he was thrown violently upon the ground, break-
ing his back, and otherwise seriously injuring him. From that moment no hopes were enter-
tained of his recovery. His whole system was paralyzed, and his sufferings were intense. He
bore them patiently and was comparatively cheerful. A few hours before his death he was
asked by a dear friend and relative if he felt resigned to his fate. He replied promptly in the
affirmative. Shortly thereafter he passed smoothly and quietly away.
Thus one of nature's noblemen has gone into eternity. Abner Gates Jackson was born a
gentleman. He had all the instincts and impulses of a chivalrous manhood. He scorned a mean
act. His proud nature stood aghast at everything dishonorable. He was open, frank and
positive. He had no disguises. He was not true and false at the same time. His friendships
were ardent and devoted, and his dislikes intense and pointed. In his business relations he was
always candid and truthful. When, many years ago, he was engaged in the dry goods trade,
it was proverbial of him that he would never misrepresent the quality of his goods In the
social circle he was genial, affable and kind. His warm heart made him friends everywhere.
His conceptions of the purity and of the exalted worth of woman were truly commendable. He
honored her and was ever ready to protect her. He was a strict member of the Methodist E.
Church, South, and died, as we believe, a thorough Christian.

Sankey and Abigail Jacob; and a grandson of Richard Sankey and Mary Taylor of County
Limerick. He attended and graduated from Glasgow University. He emigrated to America
632 APPENDIX
about 1735 as a missionary minister, and was taken as trial minister by the Donegal Presbytery
of Pennsylvania; licensed, October 13, 1736; and ordained and installed as minister at Monada
Creek Presbyterian Church, August 15, 1738, where he remained until June 6, 1759.
The Quaker government of Pennsylvania refusing to supply sufficient defense of the western
frontiers of the province against the marauding Indians, he left Pennsylvania in 1759 with a
large part of his congregation, and settled in Prince Edward County, Virginia, where he became
pastor of the Buffaloe Church. He carried with him to Virginia all the church and marriage
records of the old Monada Creek Church and they are presumed to have been lost by fire.
Reverend Sankey played a prominent role in the Hanover Presbytery of Virginia and in his
Synod, and was one of the founders of Hampden-Sydney College in 1775. He remained a
member of the Board of Trustees of the college until his death which occurred in Prince Edward
County, Virginia, 1789-1790.
He married in Pennsylvania, Sarah Thomson (b. 1718-1720), daughter of Reverend John
Thomson.

AG III SAMUEL DEARMOND (c-1760-1819)
Samuel Dearmond settled at Port Gibson, Claiborne County, Mississippi on Bayou
Pierre together with his cousin, Joseph Flenniken. Joseph died there and his widow remar-
ried Gideon Foster. Samuel Dearmond apparently left there for Louisiana about 1809.
His oldest daughter, Jane married at Port Gibson to John J. Wright on December 13,
1806 (marriage bond). They were sued in Claiborne County, Mississippi court in 1809
and had apparently left about that time. The Wrights are known to have lived in Amite
County, Mississippi and Jane apparently died there in 1819 the same year as that of
her father's death. John Wright died about 1825 leaving two children: Mary Ann Wright,
born in 1810 and William G. Wright, born 1812. (See page 44, this is the same William
G. Wright who married Mary Ann Dearmond on Sept. 12, 1857, a cousin). After the
death of Samuel Dearmond in 1819, his widow, Elizabeth, married Isaac Jackson in
Amite County, Mississippi on March 28, 1820. About a year later, again a widow, she
married Jesse Talbot on June 28, 1821. In January 1811 John Dearmond and Elizabeth
sold land in Feliciana Parish, Louisiana.
Elizabeth Talbot died in Clinton, Louisiana at the residence of Thomas F. Dear-
mond on October 26, 1826.
Mary Ann Wright married Lewis Hobbs Carpenter about 1828 and had nine children
known. She died in 1870. Their names were:

of these were living in Bolivar County, Mississippi in 1857.
In the records of Madison County, Mississippi, William Dearmond married Elisabeth
Allen on July 9, 1840. He believes this to be the brother of Frances Dearmond Lee as
William and Elisabeth Dearmond lived in and conducted legal transactions in Holmes
County, Mississippi with Benjamin B. Lee and Samuel Lee, Jr., his brother who lived
in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. Nothing more is known about William Dearmond.

Grover bought a farm in southwest Missouri,

failed to live up to their expectations. World War I
was on and it looked as if the army was going to
call Grover, so bills were printed for a public sale.
Before the sale could be held, the armistice was sign-
ed; however, the sale was held. They moved to
Springfield and rented the farm. Grover then enroll-
ed in the local Business College and following that
went to work in the Loose Wiles branch Office

Cookey and Cracker Co. in Springfield. The next
business venture was with the Prudential Insurance
Co. The family then moved back up north and after
selling insurance awhile longer, Grover quit the in-
surance business to become manager of the elevator
in Olds, Iowa. After about twenty years of manag-
ing the elevator, he then went into business for
himself hatching and raising turkeys. Following a
heart attack in 1948, Grover and Edna began spen-
ding summers in Northern Minnesota. As a result,

Supplement to DeARMOND FAMILIES OF AMERICA AND Related Families
WILLIAM DEARMOND (1795- ), Fayette County, Illinois
William Dearmond first appears in public records in the 1830 census for Fayette
County, Indiana. ' He is listed in the 1850 census for Fayette County, with only two
of his family with him. 2 Next door lived his son, William, and in the same counts were
his son, Marshall, and the widow of his son, John.
We are indebted to Dr. Ossie Mae Dill for the family history that the Family first
lived in Fleming County, Kentucky, removing to Fayette County, Indiana, after 1816.
She also declares his wife was Mary Orr and probably the daughter of William Orr. 3.
The 1850 census of Fayette County reveals that he was born in Pennsylvania, and we
can speculate that he may have followed the Allaegheny and Ohio Rivers down first
to Kentucky, and later to Indiana.
William's presence in Kentucky draws our attention to the DeArman family [Line
M] and William Dermon (p. 390) whose age and children's age make possible the presence
of a son born in 1795 who would correspond to our subject. With no more conclusive
proof presently available, we are unable to arrive at a definite decision regarding our
subject's parentage. Unfortunately for our problem, 'William' was a very popular name
in all the early branches of our family.

WILLIAM DeARMOND, JR. (1822- ). Fayette County,
Indiana
William DeArmond, Jr., son of William Dearmond and Mary Orr, was born in 1822,
and probably in Fayette County, Indiana.
We have no knowledge of him save what appears in the 1850 census. A search of
the 1860 census for Fayette county reveals that not one of the family was then liv-
ing in the county, indicating that all had moved farther west. His wife is shown
as Martha, born 1824 in Indiana. (1) We have the names of only two of his children.

After 1905, he was employed in the heat and power department of the Kansas State
College. In his declining years, he was for a short while after 1920, a night wat-
chman for a downtown store in Manhattan. He died April 25, 1922.

A GLIMPSE OF THE PAST
by Snyder Roberts
THE DeARMONDS ON LITTLE EMERY
THEIR PLACES IN ROANE HISTORY
Before discussing DeArmond genealogy, it may be in order to point out that the
DeArmond family has at least three claims to fame in early Roane County history:
1. According to available documents, John DeArmond, John Hackett, and Joseph
O'haver were the first white men to set foot on the present site of Kingston in 1785.
2. According to Capt. W.E. McElwee, James DeArmond was the hero in the Battle
of Crab Orchard with the Indians in 1792.
3. One of the most outstanding landmarks in Roane County is beautiful DeArmond's
Gap in Waldens Ridge which was named for John and James DeArmond.
JOHN — FIRST ON KINGSTON SITE
In the March 1803 session of the Roane County Court, Attorney Robert Whyte (later
State Supreme Court Justice) represented John Hackett in a suit in which "John Hackett
humbly showeth that he claimeth two tracts of land, one being in the point of the
Tennessee and Clinch Rivers of 240 acres. The other adjoining the above tract upon
Clinch River, including the Town of Kingston, containing 300 acres." In order to prove
the boundaries of the above tracts, Robert Whyte introduced an affidavit of John
DeArmond as follows:
"John DeArmond after being sworn deposeth and sayeth that on the year of 1785,
about the first of September, that he was present and saw John Hackett mark an ash
tree above the mouth of a spring branch on the bank of Clinch River which was a corner
tree of the two tracts of land claimed by the said John Hackett. This deponant further
sayeth that he was a chain carrier for the two tracts of land, and with Joseph O'haver
who was also a chain carrier."
John Hackett's claim was probably disallowed, or compromised, but the important
point is, John DeArmond was on the Kingston site in 1785. (Shelby's troops by-passed
Kingston site in 1779.)
BATTLE AT CRAB ORCHARD
Lt. John McClellan took 37 men from Fort South West Point to Crab Orchard on
August 13, 1792 where they were ambushed in their camp at the foot of Spencer's Hill
by about 100 Indians. Four soldiers were killed, and Lt. McClellan's horse was killed.
In the retreat up the hill, the lagging, heavy McClellan became exhausted and was saved
only by the heroism of James DeArmond. DeArmond dodged a tomahawk thrown by
an Indian, sprang on his horse, and helped in the rear-guard action. When DeArmond
came upon the helpless McClellan, he offered his horse which McClellan at first refus-
ed to accept, but DeArmond jumped from his horse, and according to Capt. McElwee
said, "There is not a damned Indian in the country that can catch me!"
McClellan, saved from almost certain death, mounted his horse, rallied his men, and
organized a successful retreat.
DeARMONDS GAP
The Indians recognized the strategic importance of DeArmond's Gap. The Indian
trace on the west side of the Tennessee River leading northeastward from the Chat-
tanooga area passed through DeArmond's Gap, up Little Emery River, into the
Cumberlands, and northward to Kentucky. The Indians built a town between the
southern entrance to the Gap and Emery River one mile to the south. This was the In-
726
dian town burned by Col. Shelby's troops in 1779. Gov. William Blount and John Sevier
were familiar with DeArmond's Gap and the alternate route of Emery Road that passed
through it. Early settlers used the Gap for passage, as did most of the German-Swiss
settlers on their way from Kingston to Wartburg in the 1846-48 period. DeArmond's
Gap was the route utilized by a narrow-gauge railway from present Oakdale to the
Emery Iron Works at Old Oakdale (now Elverton).
More recently the H. & N.E. Railway used the Gap for its line from Harriman to
Petros. The Southern Railway presently passes in front of the Gap, and once had a station
there called "DeArmond's Crossing." Today, the four-lane highway from Harriman has
a clover-leaf interchange in front of the Gap with highway no. 27 passing through the
Gap northward to Wartburg, and highway no. 61 passing eastward along the foot of
Walden Ridge to Oliver Springs.
It was on this site in front of DeArmond's Gap, overlooked by the colorful majestic
mountains that Territorial Governor William Blount had hoped to build the Tennessee
Territorial Capitial (instead of Knoxville) on his 5000-acre grant, but the Indians would
not cooperate with a favorable treaty.
JOHN DeARMOND GRANT
John DeArmond obtained a North Carolina warrant no. 516 dated April 28, 1780
on which he was issued grant no. 635 dated April 2, 1787 for 200 acres in Greene County
(now Roane) on the north fork of Emeries River (now Little Emory) bounded on the
south by William Blount's 5000-acre survey for which DeArmond was to pay 50 shill-
ings for each 100 acres. The tract was surveyed by John Hackett in 1787, and recorded
by Hackett November 8, 1791; however, the deed was not registered in Roane County
until 1816 (Book E, p. 36). In the meantime, John DeArmond sold the 200-acre tract
to his son James in 1809 (Book D, p. 220).
John and James were signers of the 1801 petition to form Roane County. James pro-
bably settled on the tract after his service with the militia at Fort South West Point.
James DeArmond and his son John entered additional land to the north which was
underlain with coal. In 1880, John DeArmond was paying taxes in Roane on valuable
tracts of 556 acres and 111 acres. It was at his home the German-Swiss settlers stopped
while on their way to Wartburg.
JAMES DeARMOND
James DeArmond was born July 3, 1771 in Mechlenburg County, North Carolina;
the son of John and Esther Flenniken DeArmond. James died March 1, 1831 and is buried
in the DeArmond family cemetery near the old homeplace. James married (1802 in
Roane) Susan Shadden (1786 Va.-1869 in Roane). James and Susan had the following
children:
1. Esther (1803-) married (1827) Robert S. Brashears, son of Bazzel Brashears. Robert
and Esther were among the founders of Bradley County, Tennessee, and the city of
Cleveland. He died in 1854, and she returned to Roane with her two children.
2. and 3. Margaret and Mary (twin) were born September 15, 1804. Margaret died
unmarried in January 1884, and Mary died unmarried in June 1884.
4. Elizabeth (1806-) married (1836 in Roane) her second cousin, Thomas F. DeArmond
of Louisiana.
5. John-see below.
6. Wiley (1810-1878).
7. Grizza (1812-) married (1835 Samuel Jackson DeArmond (1816-1897), a second
cousin from Louisiana. S.J. DeArmond owned and operated a large successful business
727
in Kingston for many years. He is buried in Bethel Cemetery at Kingston.
8. Matilda (1814-) married (1842) James G. DeArmond, a second cousin from
Louisiana.
9. Isabel (1816-).
10. Drucilla (1818-1851) married Paul C. Frost (1823-) who was the son of the famous
East Tennessee pioneer Baptist Preacher, the Bev. Joshua Frost. Drucilla is buried in
the Peoples Cemetery near Claxton School in Anderson County.
11. Calhoun (1820-) unmarried.
12. Mahala (1822-) married (1866) William B. Nichols.
13. Eliza Jane (1824-) married (1854) Owen W. Flucker of La.
14. James (1826-) died in infancy.
15. Susan Ann (1829-) married (1849) James G. DeArmond, widower of her sister
Matilda.
16. Andrew Jackson (1830-).
JOHN DeABMOND
John DeArmond (1808-1896), the son of James, married (1860) Caledonia Bowers
who was the daughter of a Methodist Minister. She is entitled to a special line in history
because her name tops the list for the longest full name in all records for Boane County.
In the Boane 1850 census, her name is shown as "Veronica A.C.N.F.Z.M.C." Marilyn
McCluen's woman's curiosity spurred her on to learn the full name, and this is what
she learned "Veronica Adelonica Caledonia Nitrocraos Flozaedar Mandozia Corinthus."
The father may have been a Greek and Spanish scholar. John and Caledonia lived their
lives at the old DeArmond homeplace, and are buried in the family cemetery. Their
children were:
1. Annie Laurie married B.A. Tedder,- four children, 2. Susan H. married Charles
B. Bobinson, - four children, 3. John married Laura Watson, - three children, 4. Lewis
married Elizabeth Bailey, 5. Fred married Verne Oliver, - four children, 6. James, 7.
Bichard married Eugenia Graves, - two children, 8. Lula married John Chandler, -
two children, 9. Margaret.
