 MY FOREVJORD 
 
 I'll call this book: 
 
 "The Additions to William Allen, and Amanda Helen (Morris) 
 Trowbridge," family number 772, page 424 of that Beautiful Book 
 "History of the Trowbridge Family in America," compiled by Francis 
 Bacon Trowbridge, published 1908; Library of Congress Number CS 
 71T806. The first 62 pages in this book are taken from that Book. 
 
 The remainder of the pages are a work of family love that I 
 have been compiling for a long, long time. I've tried to give the 
 information of each family that personal touch and hope that the 
 book will be filled with so much love that all my errors will be 
 overlooked. I am so grateful and thankful to so many cousins and 
 to Bertha Spence; and to Lemes for his patience. 
 
 This book will never be complete as long as there are "Additions".

PREFACE 
 
 About the year 1*50 the first attempt was made to collect and arrange in 
 genealogical order tlie descendants of Thomas Trowbridge, the first of his name 
 in this country, who emigrated from Exeter, Devonshire, England, to Dorchester, 
 Alass., as early as lOST, and soon after went witli the early settlers to the 
 colony of New Haven. Those who were most interested in this undertaking were 
 Thomas R. Trowbridge of New Haven, Philo !M. Trowbridge of Woodbury, 
 Conn., and Otis Trowbridge of Newton, Mass. As the result of their etforts, 
 most of the descendants in the male line of Thomas, the second son of the 
 settler, were collected by Rev. William S. Porter, who was employed for that 
 purjiose by Mr. Thomas R. Trowbridge; many of the descendants of William 
 Trowbridge, the third son. were collected by Deacon Philo ]\r. Trowbridge; and 
 of the descendants of James Trowbridge, the youngest son, tiie records of several 
 iiundred were collected and printed in a jiamphlet in l^oi by Deacon Otis Trow- 
 bridge. John, the oldest son of the settler, did not come with his father to this 
 Country and dit»<l unmarried in early manhood in Ta\iut<)n, England. The 
 subject then rested until the s\immer of 1809, when Mr. Thomas R. Trowbridge 
 employed Rev. Frederick W. Chapman to take the materials collected and gather 
 such otlier records as might be found and prepare a book for publication. As a 
 result of his work the ''Trowbridge Family" was published in 1S72. 
 
 The compilation of the present book was begun early in 1S98. The genealogi- 
 cal standard has advanced materially since the "Trowl)ridge Family" was pub- 
 lished, and the compiler of the present book decided that he would obtain the 
 best results if he shoidd disregard all printed records of the Trowbridges and 
 proceed as if no history of the family had ever been published. He has followed 
 this plan throughout the compilation of this book, and all statements made are 
 based on public records, e.xamined by himself in nearly every case, or on corre- 
 spondence with members of the family. ?v[r. I-othrop Withington, a recognized 
 authority on genealogical research in Entrlish records, has been employed to 
 couiluct the investigation in England. -Mr. Robert A. Smith of Washington, 
 i). C, was employed to copy the war records of Trowbridges previous to the 
 Civil War in the United State* Pension Office. The many hundreds of records 
 of tlieir service in the Civil War were taken by the compiler from the official 
 rosters of the several states (a most laborious work, as those volumes are not 
 iude.xed), suiiplomonted by family letters and a search of the records in the Pon- 
 fliou office. The compiler has searchwl the public r'^cord? diligently for the few 
 facts that are missing in the earlier generations and bis correspondents know how 
 earnestly li<? li^s written them to supply the facts missing in tiie later genera- 
 tions, lie has made a special effort to give the birth and parentage of the 
 Trowbridge wives. Tlie completeness of details in the biographical sketches 
 imlicnte his eftorts in that direction. He has corresponded with some member 
 of each family circle within the past si.x months, so that tjie family registers are 
 as complete as it w:is jjossilde to make them. Tlie proof sheets have been com- 
 pared with the original notes made by the eomiuler and the letters he has received. 
 
 The iireater part of this book is a history of Thomas Trowbridu'e and his 
 tiosccudants. In the course of searches for members of tliat family the compiler 
 hn8 accumulated considerable data relative to several otiier families of Trow-

 bridiies. «oine perhnps desponding from Tliomas Trowbridge, but so far not cer- 
 tainly identified, and others known to be not descended from liim. Those have 
 been included in this book. It is intended to record the history of successive 
 generations in the male line, and tliat some branches are not brought down to 
 the present time is due chiefly to tlie indifference of their members. But there 
 have been very few such eases in comparison with the large number of branches 
 whose members have been anxious to assist the compiler in every way in their 
 power. It would have been iin agreeable work to have reconled the families of the 
 many Trowbridge women who have married, for without their help as complete a 
 history as this would have been impossible, but to have followed out the records 
 of the female lines would have taken many more .ver\rs and made another volume 
 larger than this, which would have at least doubled the cost of the book, and in 
 very many cases would have been a reprint of portions of genealogies already 
 published or anticipated others in preparation. 
 
 The arrnngement of the successive families is simple. The name of each 
 male head of a family is preceded by his own consecutive number and followed 
 by an ancestral parenthesis stating his descent, the particular book number of 
 each ancestor being printed superiorly. The records of a few members of the 
 family were received after the numbering of the manuscript was completed, which 
 has necessitated the \iso of die letters, a, b, etc., after the number. 
 
 The compiler thanks the hundreds of Trowbridge men and women and the 
 many others allied to them by marriage for the help they have so willingly 
 given him in preserving in this comparatively enduring fonn the history of a 
 family that has done its full share in the b\iilding of this country. The corre- 
 spondence has been a pleasant one, except for a letter now and then that told 
 of the death of one whose letters in the earlier years of this work made possible 
 the connecting of the present generations with the past. Some branches of the 
 family deservedly are entitled to have more of their members represented by 
 portraits, either on account of their prominence or because they or their descend- 
 ants have taken interest in this genealogy, but the compiler has endeavored 
 to have at least one portrait of some member of each main stem or a picture of 
 some old homestead that is endeared to the memory of its members. Likenesses 
 of a number of the family that the compiler wished to include were either 
 unobtainable or such that satisfactory portraits could not be made from them. 
 
 The compiler feels that he has conscientiously made every effort to make this 
 history complete and he now with regret draws his work to a close.

THE TROWBRIDGE ARM8 
 
 The arms borne by the TrowbriHgo family are what are termed in heraldry 
 nnne^ pnrlanfes, becnvise of their nlhision to the n;iiiie — the bridge and the wnter 
 ninning through. In the earliest hornldry, whenever it was possible, tlie object 
 (.'hoscn was one whose name bore siitRciont re.-ieml)lance in sound to suggest the 
 imit'.c of the bearer of it. This characteristic of the Trowbridge arms is an 
 cvidi'iioe of their anti<iuity. 
 
 In ".V Treatise on Heraldry" by Woodward and Burnett, page 362, is printed 
 the following account of the use of the bridge in liornldry : 
 
 "In the later supplement which follows M. Vallrtt.'s edition of the 'Armorial 
 lie Berry.' . . . Azure, a bridge argent supporting a ciistle, or. is borne by 
 I'ontaut; this resembles tlie eighteenth century coat of Trowbridge, Bart. Or, 
 liver wnter in base a bridge of three arches enibnttlcd thereon a tower proper, 
 its flag flying charged with a cross potent of the field; on a canton of the third 
 two keys in ?rtltire gold.* Of bridges without castle? there are a pood many 
 instances. The Scottish family of Bridge naturally bears: Gules, a bridge of one 
 arch argent, stream transfluent proper. Azure, a bridge argent is a coat of 
 riorrci>ont, and (with square arches) Pontbriant, Gules, a bridge of two arches 
 or is boruo by the Marquises of Pontcves in France. Or, a bridge of three arclics 
 snble is used by the Prussian Briickners. The Venetian Counts da Ponte carried 
 nzurc. a bridge of ono nrch with steps or." 
 
 In tiic herald's vi.sitation of the county of Devon the Trowbridge arms arc 
 described as: Or, i,ver water, proper, n bridge towered, gules. The Harleian 
 Society printed in this connection the following document: 
 
 "Sclnnt pracspntcs Pt f\itiirl quod oen Wnltcrus de Trobriilce dwli et concrssl Hospro

 of the arms, one exactly like the seal and the other the snino with n tower added, 
 may be seen in "Elvin's Dictionary of Heraldry." plate .\.\iii. nns. 10 .and 20. 
 
 That the Trowbridge family of Taunton, Somersetshire, was related to that of 
 Dcvonsliire is snfficiputly proved by the similarity of the family arms.

 The plate for the arms an shown in the frontispiece wa.s prepared by the depart- 
 ment of heraldry of Tiffany of New York, after exhaustive investigations by the 
 compiler, and it is considered by him to corret'tly depict the Trowbridge arms. 
 
 The description of the Trowbridge arms is: Or. on a hridge of three Urdu's 
 embaltled, in fens, ;7u?f4, mosoned sahle, as many streams tninsfinent towards the 
 base, proper, a tower of the second, tliereon a peniiant iinjent. 
 
 The motto engraved below the arms in the frontispiece was chosen by the 
 compiler and it seems to him an eminently fitting one, containing as it does a 
 reference to the family name. It is: Sit pons finnns. Let the bridge be firm.

INTRODUCTION 
 
 Trowbridge* hns been used as a surname in England for many centuries, but 
 flio oxnet time tlint it was tirst so used is uncertiiin and the authors of diction- 
 iirics of family -"umames do not agree as to its derivation. Bardsley in his 
 "Dictionary of Entrlish and Welsh Surnames" i^fates that the name was first 
 trivcn an individual on account of his resilience at Trowbriiigi; in Wiltshire. 
 It may bo that this was its origin, and that a member of the family removed to 
 J)ovou and gave the same name to his seat in that county, and it is also quite 
 pnssiblo that some individuals in later timos may have assumed the name of 
 Trowbridge on account of a residence at Trowbriduro, but that an earlier claim 
 may be made for its vise as a family name seems to l)e indicated by the history of 
 the town of Trowbridge. 
 
 ''Trowbridget is a tiiriving market town situated on a rocky eminence rising 
 from the valley of the river Biss, and in respect of population is the largest town 
 in Wiltshire. It.s history has never yet been fully written, and yet few towns 
 have fairer claims to our notice, both on account of the old and interesting asso- 
 ciations that are connected with it. as well as from the important position it has 
 now assumed for some years as one of the principal seats of the woolen manufac- 
 tiirc in the west of England. 
 
 "The parish of Trowbririge forms part of the hundred of Mcll<sham. On the 
 south side it adjoins the hundred of Whcrwelsdown and on the west that of Brad- 
 ford-on-Avon. It consists of a strip of land some three miles long and on an 
 average one mile broad, and contains in all 2,44.T acres. It is divided into 
 wn-eral tithings: on the north is that of ,Staverton; on the west that of Trowle; 
 on the south that of Studley; and there is also the town liberty. The town 
 itself is situated, as nearly as may be. in the center of the whole parish. 
 
 "Writers on Trowbridge, especially those connected with it. have sought to 
 rstj\blish for their town a greater antiquity than has generally been concoied to 
 if, but imtil we come to tlie ei\d of the eleventii century we can find no trace of 
 the history of this place and then we find it in Domesday Book, where it is called 
 Rtrnburg; a strange form of the name, but nevt-rthek-ss pretty clearly to be 
 identified with what we now call Trowbridge. It is as follows: — 
 
 'Brlctrio holils Strnbur^. His father liek] it in the time of Kin? Kdwnrd and it

18 TUOWBKIDGE GENEALOGY 
 
 "In A. D. 1100, just thirteen j"e.Trs after the completion of the Domesday 
 record, Trowbridge (.Trobregc) and Staverton are recorded as being in the pu^- 
 se-^siun of Edward of Salisbury, a great Norman noble, who was Vice Comes, or 
 sheriff of Wiltshire, and had no less than 3S manors in this county. In a docu- 
 ment of the date A. D. 1120-1130 it is enumerated amongst those estates which 
 were of his own acquisition in contra-distinction to those which he enjoyed liy 
 inheritance, and this looks rather as though he had purchase*! it. The descent of 
 the manor from that time to the present can be easily traced. 
 
 "But though Trowbridge had its castle, in these early days it was but a small 
 and unimportant place. That it was but an insigniticsmt town, even fifty years 
 after this time, seems evident from the following facts. It is not mentioned 
 among the towns in Wiltshire on which rates were levied in 1168 (14 Henry II) 
 'to marry the king's daughter' to the Duke of Saxony, nor among tliose from 
 which 'aid' was taken in 1187 (33 Henry II), by the king^s justices." 
 
 It is staterl in the preceding sketch of Trowbridge that it was an insignificant 
 town in 11G8, but in 1158 (4 Henry II) in the Devon Feet of Fines there is 
 mention of John Troubnigge.* It would, therefore, scorn not unlikely that the 
 name had an origin independent from the town of Trowbridge. 
 
 The first syllable of the name Trowbridge is probably derivol from the Old 
 English word trough, trogh or trou, and the Anglo-Saxon trog or Iroli, a natural 
 trough or channel in a stream, and the second syllable from the Old English word 
 brigge, bregge or brugge (unassibilated brig or brugg) and the Anglo-Saxon 
 brycg or bricg.i 
 
 It is reasonable to suppose that the first individual who bore the name of 
 Trowbridge was one who lived near a stream running swiftly in a well-worn 
 channel through the arches of a bridge.:): He may have got his name for some 
 feat of daring at or near tlie bridge, or taken part in its defense. He may 
 have received his coat of arms for valor while in command of the defense of 
 the bridge in some engagement, and, if so, the color of the bridge in the arms 
 would indicate that the conflict was a sanguinary one. 
 
 The copies of documents and records relating to the Trowbridge family in 
 England which are printed in this genealogy were selected from a large amount 
 of data gathered by Mr. Lor,.rop Withingt<_in of London, whose services were 
 engaged to conduct the researches in England which resulted in successfully 
 establishing the parentage and immediate ancestrj' of Tiiomas Trowliridgo, the 
 primitive settler in America. It will be shown that he bclonge<l to the Taunton, 
 Somersetshire, branch of the family, and after tlie jiroof of his parentage was 
 est<iblished the main effort of the researches in England was to prove the connec- 
 tion between that branch and the other families of tlie name there and in the 
 adjoining county of Devon. Investigations in that line are still progressing an<l 
 the indications are that scvitmI generations more will be added to tlie peilicrci' of 
 T'homas Trowbridge printed in tlii"; gi>ni'a!ogy. Sliurt as this is. comiian-il with 
 the centuries that the name fiourished bc'forc his birth, his di'sccndant.^ will be 
 gratified to know that of only a vi-ry few of the early New England settlers has so 
 much authentic ancestral lineage been proven as is printed here. 
 
 The rccord= show that the Trmvliridsre family were Imig seated in Devon, and 
 it Is said^ that the barton of Trowbridge in the jiarish of Crediton was in tiie 
 possession of t!ie family in tlio reign of Edward I.

TKOWBRID<iE GENEALOGY 19 
 
 It is suppopoil that a younger branch of the Devonshire family of Trowbridge 
 settled in Somersetshire,* and many documents relating to it have been found in 
 tlie records of that county. 
 
 It is, however, in the Trowbridge family that is found residing in Taunton, 
 Somersetshire, about the middle of the sixteenth century, that most readers of 
 this genealogy will feel the chief interest, for from this branch of the family, it 
 will be shown, sprang Thomas Trowbridge, the primitive ancestor of a very large 
 majority of the Trowbridges in America. 
 
 Taunton stands on the great road leading from Land's End in Cornwall 
 Ui the north of England, lying betwcM^n E.xeter and Bridgewater, thirty-three 
 miles northeast of the former and eleven miles south of the latter — the situation 
 rendering it the thoroughfare from Bristol and Bath to Exeter and Plymouth. 
 It has been noted for ita manufacture of woolen, and its trade may be traced 
 back to the reign of Efhvard III, wlio first brought woolen raanufactorio-s to 
 England. It was with this trade that tlie Trowbridges of Taunton were so long 
 identified. 
 
 "Taunton has ever been a principal town in the county of Somerset. Before 
 the modem improvements were introduced, it was deemed well built. Its streets 
 are spacious, as it extends over a considerable extent of ground. The houses, 
 even in the middle of it, are furnished with good outlets, which contribute much 
 to the pleasantness and salubrity of the town, as well as to the convenience of 
 its inhabitants. It is a mile long, from east to west, and its streets have a 
 gradual descent to the river. It stands in a fertile and extensive vale, and is 
 called by Camden one of the eyes of the county. The county all around is 
 beautified with green meadows, abounds in delightful orchards and gardens; is 
 enriched with wood, and peopled with numerous villages, so as to exhibit to the 
 eye of the spectator, who approaches the town, a charming scene. The county 
 in itself, though, in the winter, moist and marshy, is supposed, by some, to derive 
 its name (Somersetshire) from the sunimerlike temperature of the air. The part 
 of it in which Taunton is situated has, if not an exclusive, yet a jieculiar claim 
 to the excellent qualities ascribed to the whole. On account of its fertility, tlie 
 peasantry used to boast that it was so fruitful with the zun and zoil, alone, as 
 to need no manuring. This country is called by the inhabitants, Taunton Dean, 
 that is the vale of Taunton, and from the high conceit of its pre-eminence above 
 other counties, hath arisen a beautiful proverb — 'miere should I he born, else, 
 hid Taunton Dean,' — as if it were a disparagement to bo born in any other 
 place; and none in England, nay, in the whole world, were to be compared 
 with it."t The motto of the town of Taunton is: Defendamus, Let us defend. 
 
 The description of Taunton in Domesday Book is as follows :t 
 
 "The Bishop of Winchester holds Taunton. Archbishop Stigand held it in the time of 
 King Edward, and it paid the geld for fifty-four hides and two yard-lands and a half, 
 of which there was arable land enough for one hundred ploughs. Besides this the 
 Bishop has in demense twenty carucatcs which never paid the geld and thirteen plough.s. 
 There are eighty Villans. eighty-two bordars, seventy bondmen or slaves, sixteen coli- 
 liorti anil -^nientofn swineherds, who render seven pounds, ten shillings, and amongst them 
 nil they have si.'ity ploughs.'' 
 
 "The hundri^l of Taunton-Dean is divided* into three districts, the hundred of 
 'J'atmton market, the infaring divi-;i(m and the outfaring division. Taunton 
 market eomprrjionds that part which is distinguished as the borough of Taunton. . 
 The infaring division is subdivided into the hundreds of Molway. Hull. Poundis- 
 ford, St^nplegrove and Xailsbourno and includes the iiarislu^s of Taunton-

 About tlie middle of the sevontoenth century there resided in Taunton a family 
 of Trowbridges the head of which was Thomas Trowbridge, who was engaged in 
 business there for many years as a mercer and was a man of wealth and conse- 
 quence in the town. His home was in the parish of St. ilary Magdalen and in 
 the register of that church were found the follo^ving entries:*

 St, Mary Magdalen Church. Taunton, was originally only a chapel dependent on 
 tiip conventual ciiuivh. In olden times there were seven chantries annexed to 
 St. Mary Magdalen riuirch. and the priests who otticiatcd in them were pensioned 
 ot the dissolution of the religious houses. The name of W. Trowbridge is given 
 ns the last incumbent of the Holy Cross fraternity and his yearly pension in 
 1.553 stood at £4. He may have been Sir William Trowbridge, curate of Ruish- 
 ton, whose will was proved at Taunton July 4, 1562.

 .lune 27, 1610. "Billof Complaint of Thomas Trowbridge of Taunton Somerset, mercer, 
 that whereas being seized etc of one messuage and dwelling house situate in Taunton 
 standinge in the Markett place and bodye of the same Towne nere unto a certen Crosse 
 commonly called the High Crosse there unto which dwellinge house in the ffore part 
 thereof there is a verie faire and spacious sboppe belonginge and standinge under the 
 Uouffe of the said Messuage which shopp standeth and openly to that part of the streete 
 of the said Towne where the chiefe part of the Markett place of the said Towne is and 
 where the greatest Concurse of people (in the tyme of the marketts here) ys bcinge a 
 Markett of greatest request and chiefest note in all the Country there aboutes By 
 Reason of which convenient standinge of the said Sboppe your said Orator having had 
 the use and possession of the said .Shoppe by the space of ueere Thirtie yeres .... 
 and being far stricken in age desiring to let same .... John Trowbridge his 
 natural and only son having the nexte shoppe adjoining .... for selling of 
 woolle clothes .... Your orator being desirous to prefer one Thomas Chicke of 
 the said Towne of Taunton .... some time your orator's servant .... to 
 whom he granted about half a year ago a lease of the said .shoppe for your orators 
 Chick's live, said Chick promising to keep the shop for the same trade which not doing 
 he must surrender it up, etc. But now so it is said Chick having bought a dwelling 
 house with a sboppe in another remote place in the said tonne to which he seeks to draw 
 the custom and has shut up the orator's shopp and threatens to let it out for some other 
 trade." Desires possession. ".Vnswer of Thomas Chick, defendant, June .30, 1610. Says 
 that 3 or 4 years ago the complainant leased the said sboppe to Benjamin Cosyns of 
 Taunton, mercer, for complainant's life at £7 yearly who entered in and traded for 2 or 
 3 years but said Cosyns shortly after growing in decay was compelled to give said shopp 
 over to one .Tames Proctor of London, mercer, the said defendant being his customer and 
 chapman has wished him to take over the business which he did with Complainant's 
 knowledge, but not being able to furnish it suitably would desire to lett it till he is 
 more able." [Chancery Proceedings, Mitford, 115. no. 104.] 
 
 From tlie above bill of complaint it appears that Thomas Trowbridge, tlie elder, 
 was a mercer and a man of wealth. That he was a man of generous impuLses and 
 public spirit the following account of the well-known Trowbridge Charity, 
 established by him, bears witness: 
 
 "On the 4th of December, 1614, Thomas Trowbridge, the elder, of Taunton, 
 granted and assigned' unto ten trustees two closes or pieces of ground, called 
 Tunaways, the one consisting of five acres, and the other one acre, and lying in 
 West-Monkton, for the residue of a term of one thousand years, commencing on 
 the 25th of September, 1613, upon trust, that out of the rents and profits of the 
 said closes, then worth si.x poimds per annum clear to pasture, there siiould be 
 p.TJd on St. Andrew's Day yearly, unto the churchwardens and overseers of 
 St. ^lary ^Nlagd.ilen, six pounils, whereof they wore to pay on that <lay yearly, 
 to the churchwardens and overseers of St. .James, in or near Taunton, forty 
 shillings, to be hy them distributed amongst forty of the poorest, oldest, most 
 honest, and impotent poor of that parish., hy a shilling a-piece; the same distribu- 
 tion to be made on St. Thomas's Day, before Christuias; and within a month 
 after such ilistriluition, the said overseers of St. .lames to give a note of the 
 names of those that rcceivcfl the said benevolence to the churchwardens and 
 over.scers of St. Mary Magdalen aforesaid. 
 
 ".Vnd that the residue, being fotir pounds, shniild be distributed by the said 
 cluirchwardens and overseers of St. ^lary ilafrdalen, amongst eighty of the like 
 poor of that parish, by one shilling a-piece, the same day; ;md a note kept of tlie 
 names of the said poor, and such names delivereil in at Easter, before the con- 
 stables of the borough of Taunton, two or more of the trustees being called in.

 And if tlie profits amounted to more than six poiinrls, the rosiijue to be in like 
 manner distributed amongst the poor of Taunton St. .Mary ^Magdalen, and to be 
 nncounted for a3 aforesaid. And if the profits should not amount to six pounds, 
 then a proportional abatement to be made on each parish, and the residue to be 
 distributed as aforesaid. And when the number of trustees should corae to four, 
 then n new deed to be made to some person or persons, who should assif^ tiieir 
 interest back again to these four, and as many more as they should think exx>edi- 
 ent, the major part to be the most efficient and honest inhabitants of the town of 
 'I'nunton; so that the term might be preserved to the uses aforesaid. And that 
 this gift should go on to the increase of the relief of the poor, and not to ease any 
 rate or taxation. And the donor desired that the poor should bo assembled on 
 St. Thomas's Day, at divine service, at their respective parish churches, except 
 Buch as could not; and after the distribution made, the donors name to be men- 
 tioned, and they put in mind to thank God for His mercy."* 
 
 On the west wall of the south porch of St. ;\rary's Church is a tablet, about two 
 foct six inches long by one foot three inches wide, painted black, with the 
 following inscription in gilt letters: 
 
 Mr. Tho' Troiohrid'je by 
 deed gave out of his Lands 
 in Westmonkton, to the 
 Poor of Taunton S' Mar'j 
 Magdalen, the Sum of 
 Four Pounds T" An: to he

 In connection, with the foregoing account of the cliarity tlie following letter 
 from Mr. Henry Trowbridge (No. 50) of New Haven, Conn., to his brother 
 Thomas will be of interest to members of the family. 
 
 London, January 20, ISOO. 
 
 "I visited Taunton yesterday. Immediately on arrivinc there I went to St. JIary 
 Macdalen. sent for the sexton, and inqnired for the eelebrafed tablet, the inscription of 
 which ynu know. I asked him if he could tell me wliere our revered ancestor was buned. 
 He could not; for in the restoration of the church all the vaults were fille<l u]) ami paved 
 over. The original .slabs over the graves were, e.xcept as taken care of by desci'ndant.<?, 
 all worked over and placed in the pavement of the side aisles, and nearly all so worn down 
 by passing over them as to be entirely defaced. On one the letters TROW on one side 
 w.as ilistinct, but nothing else could be deciphered. The slab appeared to have been cut in 
 two, or reduced to conform in width to the rest of the pavement. I think this w.as our 
 ancestor's slab, but there is nothing certain about it. .\fter speniling as long a time in 
 and about the church as was desirable. I inquired about the wanleos, and whore the 
 ai tive or leading one lived. I found he was the e.|itor of the Taunton paper, and not far 
 off, and so w.'ut in seanh of him, and luckily found liim at home and sent up my card, 
 lie soon made liis appearance. I immediately told him I was a direct desceiulant from 
 Thomas Trowbridge, whose good deed was recorded in stone in St. Mary's, lie seemed 
 much pleased to see me, and at once spoke of the charity as couferriug a blessing annually 
 upon the poor. I, of course, was all an.tiety to know about it. so he brought out the 
 book headed Tro" hri'lqc Charity, in which the annual receipt and ilistribution is rerorded 
 and balanced. There has never, from the day of Thomas' death, been a failure to distrib- 
 ute the annual income according to the spirit of the will, but not always to the letter. 
 B'or a long time the shillings were given to the poor without calling them together in the 
 church, as the will directs; but Mr. May, the present acting warden, and for many years 
 past, a man of about your age and size, and with just your love and veneration for the 
 past, iletermined to restore the former usage in exact conformity to the will, and ilid so; 
 so that now, on St. Thomas' day, 'the poorest, oldest, most honest and impotent poor' 
 of the parish of St. Mary Magdalen are a.ssembled at the church. e.xcept such as could 
 not, when divine service is held and a sermon preached to them, previous to which each 
 one receives a shilling ticket, and at the close receives from the rector a shilling on 
 presenting the ticket, 'when the donor's name is mentioned an<l the poor put in mind to 
 thank God for his mercy.' The day is wholly given up to this distribution. Mr. May 
 says it is a most pleasing duty, and would have gratified me beyond measure to have 
 witnessed the last distribution, 21st of December, and regretted exceedingly he did not 
 know I was so near, so as to have invited me to it. He says there are always more 
 applicants than the fund will supply. Many were eighty .years of age, hardly any below 
 fifty, who participate. .Vny surplus remaining over is given in loaves of bread to the 
 most deserving, in addition to the shilling piece. P.ut a still greater good results from the 
 charity than the temporal relief. It is that these aged and impotent poor who are 
 prevented from attending church, perhaps for the whole year, on this day hear the (jospel 
 preached, expressly adapted to them, and under the most impressive circumstances, as it 
 comes with the charity , which warms and feeds them. The charity is one of five of a 
 similar character, but is the largest, and yielding now £20. Of course I was all an.xiety 
 to see the land, which I learned was about a mile from town. .So Mr. May, leaving the 
 rector with whom he was engaged, got into the carriage and drove with me to it. The 
 day was beautiful, a bright sun shining, and as we halted in front of the lot, I thought I 
 ni'ver saw so fair a field. The largest of the two fields contains five acres, and very 
 similar to our laige lot ou the hill, cccept it rises gently from the highwav, instead of 
 receding. It is surrounded with a hawthorn hedge, one half in grass and half in cultiva- 
 tion. Eroni an old oak in the center of the lot, I gathered some dry le.ives which 
 entwined it. one of which 1 send you. The oak is old enough to have sheltered our 
 progenitor from the noon day sun. as he walked over his beautiful held. From the 
 center I cut a small rod, which I have in a box, and will endeavor to carry safe to you. 
 so iliat there mav be a marriage of Ihe lanrls of the 'L'liotnas of li'.H anil the Thomas of 
 IM'.ii The other lot is separated from the one first visited by a strip of land, contains 
 one acre, also lying on the highway. Koth arc precisely as they were when tie' will was 
 made in 1'J14, in bounds and uieti's. 
 
 "Is it not strange that a charily founded by will, more tlmn two hundred aiid forly-live 
 vi'ars ago. at that tirue so insignificant. shouM have continueil. uuimipaired, and at this 
 day shedding a fo\irfold blessing upon the p.ior. ami for that space of time the laml 
 remained in the- same use as when the donor lived? I could not hut think, as the warden 
 described the joy of the poor in listening to the n-lisious services, and afterwards, with 
 tears, receiving their share of the good man's bestowment. that in him his rlescendants 
 hail lii'cn blessed. .Mr. .May said he was glad to have a desceudant to render his account 
 to. and made a copy of his last account, ISoS. (That of IS.'i'J was not closed in the 
 parish book.) I send you a copy of it:

 Satisfactory proof of the ancestry of Thomas Trowbridge has not been fouiul. 
 He had a brother who had a son Thomas, for he mentions the latter in his will. 
 He may have been a brother of William Trowbridge of Taunton, whose will, made 
 in 1575, mentions his "brother Thomas Trowbridge," as if the latter were well 
 known. John, son of Thomas, afterwards named a son William. Thomas or 
 William was probably the father of William, Agnes and Thomasinc Trowbridge, 
 baptized in St. Mary Magdalen. Tiuinton, in ]564, 1507 and 1509, respectively. 
 
 The name of the^vife of Mr. Thomas Trowbridge was not found. As is stated 
 in his will, she dic<i before him and was buried in St. Mary Magdalen Church.

 "The Trowbridges named in the foregoing extracts were Mayor John, his 
 father, the merchant Thomas, seemingly described as deceased, and his son 
 Tliomas, the primitive settler in America. The record appears to be made some- 
 where between 1620 and 1640, probably after Thomas Trowbridge had returned 
 from New England or he is referred to without any notice of his being absent. 
 It was all written at one period excepting the odd names at the bottom of tlie 
 entries which are seemingly the tenants at some later period. The dates in the 
 margin merely refer to the amount of the tines at some former period for the 
 guidance of tho manorial orficials."*

 through land ownership.

 The point is reached where it is proper to present a copy of the most important 
 document found by ilr. Withington in his researches in England, namely the will 
 of John Trowbridge, former mayor of Taunton. The following letter from Mr. 
 Withington, in which he describes the finding of the proof of the parentage of 
 Thomas Trowbridge, tlie primitive settler in America, shows the value of this 
 remarkable discovery from a genealogical standpoint and serves as the best 
 introduction to the will. 
 
 London, >8 July, 1908. 
 Dear Mr. Trowbridge, 
 
 I cabled you last evening: "Victory. Withington." 
 
 The roasoQ for this was the discovery .-xt the last minute at Taunton two or three 
 hours before of the enclosed abstract ot all now legible in a rotten and faded paper at 
 Taunton which is all now left of the much desired will of John Trowbridge the elder, 
 unidentified by the officials and of course not in the Calendar. This is the greatest coup 
 ever made in this Knglish work on American origins, beating in dramatic completeness 
 and overcoming of obstacles work at Somerset House with the magnificent engraved 
 parchment books of the I'rero^ative Co\irt of Canterbury, .\fter all these years your 
 theory is triumphant. The mention of that precious second wife Alice settles the whole 
 question of the missing name of the testator, of which the "nper" (all left of "woollen 
 draper") is nearly evidence enough, knowing as we do all the Trowbridges in Taunton at 
 that time, Thomas and his son John. 
 
 Three of us have had most unseasonable weather, at Wells, Taunton and Exeter: but 
 we so organised our work as to give every possible chance of immediate result. At Wells 
 we went through every existing transcript of the over five hundred parishes of Somerset, 
 largely repulsive, rotten and faded fragments, to find if possible the marriage of John and 
 the b.nptism of Thomas. .\t lOxoter we not only u.sed tlio diocesan :ind probate registries 
 for the avail;il)le points, but also the old registri^-s of St. I'etrock and St. Kerian, to some 
 purpose. Omt main attack w.i.s however at T.iunton where things sei-med absolutely 
 linpeless after the partial failure of the hopeless muddle in the Castle and the exhaustion 
 of every likely name of the probate registry. We s.aw there was nothing for it but to go 
 through the files for .a hundred yenrs and look at every Taunton will and also any oild- 
 ments. Hence our triumph. We could only do this, however, with exc'-ptional friendly 
 ofBcial relations at Taunton, and doing at a moderate estimate three months' work for one 
 or one month's work for throe in les.s than a w.^ck. .My two colleagues were M.'ssrs. 
 Noble and Steele. I doubt if any other workers in Knglaud would have a<cnin[>lishcd the 
 result uniler such apparently absobilely hopeless circumstances. 1 enclose the John 
 Trowbridge will. 
 
 Yours most sincerely,

 It is quite i>rohable that Tliomas was the iildest son of John, for there seems 
 no gap in the register of John's children, and that assumption wottld make him 
 the correct age to he tliu husband of his wife, who was horn in 1003, and the 
 lawyer, who drew the hill of complaint of John (see p. 29) which calls .Tolin, 
 Jr., his "eldest" son, may not have known of the absent Thomas. If Thomas 
 is regarded as tlie eldest t>on of John, there is at once i)resentcd the coincidence 
 between the names of their sons. Jolui's four sous were, in order, Thonuis, 
 juimixl after his father, Joliii, after himself, William and James. Thomas's 
 four sons were, in order, John, after Iris father, Thomas, after jiimself, William 
 luid James; and these names, it must be borne in mind, were given liis first three 
 sons while he was living in Exeter.

 citizen of 'I'annton, SomcrauUhire. llis father lind lon(? l)cen iilcntilicJ with the 
 woolen trade in Taunton, which was noted for its manufacture of that staple, 
 mill it was natural that the son when ho grew up should Unix his attention to 
 somo branch of that indiistrj', and lie is found in early manhood established in 
 business ns a uicrcer in tlie neighboring city of ]']xctcr iii Devonshire. At the 
 tinu< when he took up his resilience there he found that the name U'rowhridge was 
 a well-known and respected one in I'^xeter, with which members of the family liad 
 liceu long identified through business and residence, and there also his sisti^r 
 I'nulenee wont to live after her marriage in lC2i to William Mace, a leading 
 iiiercliant of the city.* 
 
 In the jicdigreo of tin; ifarshall family of Exeter was found the name of 
 "'J'bouias Trobridge of Taunton." This reference was th<r clue that led to the 
 finding of the record of the marriage of Thomas Trowbridge. 
 
 In the list of marriage licenses issued for the diocese of Exeter it is recorded 
 tliat on March 24, 1C27, Thomas Trowbridge of the parish of St. I'ctrock was 
 licensed to marry Elizabeth ^Marshall of the parish of St.. Mai-y Arches.

 and heir of Owsley of Chilliiigtoii, county Roiin'rset. Ilis will, dated Aug-ust 7, 
 157C, was proved hy her October 9 following. [Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 
 Carew, 29.] In it he is described as of Ashewille in the parish of Ilminster, 
 and desires to bo buried in the churchyard of Ilminster. He gives to his son 
 Edmund Marshall his rynes ajid bark and half his tanne vatos with a mill to 
 grind bark (from this bwiucst it seems that he was by trade a tanner) ; mentions 
 his sons, John, Nicholas, William, John (the younger) and 'Thomas (all under 
 age); and appoints his wife Joan (who appears to have brought him some prop- 
 erly) sole execiilri.v and residuary legnlcit. lln oppearB to have had two otlier 
 children, Koger and Anno, who may have been twins, born posthumous. His 
 wife, as "Joane ^Marshall," had been named as sister in the will of William 
 Owselcy of Chillington, near Hminster, in Somerset, dated October 8, 1558. 
 [Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Wells, 22.] 
 
 John Marsliall (the younger) probably settled in Exeter in early life. He 
 was "the worshij)ful Mr. John Marshall." He was bailiff of Exeter in 1001, 
 sheriff in 1009 and mayor in 1015, retaining afterwards the position of alder- 
 man. He married at St. Mary Arches August 'M, 1595, Alice Bcvys [Bcvis or 
 ]3oavis], daugliter of Pilchard and Ktizabcth (I'rouz) lievys.

 Bevys liecamo sheriff nf Exeler in 1591, governor of the Guild of Merchant 
 Adventurers in IS'.tl and mayor in 10O2, dying August 20 of the latter year. He 
 made a deed of tru.^t Juno 10, 1002, to Williaui Ticklo and John Marshall, gent., 
 for a benefaction to provide marriage portions during future years to worthy 
 young women of several parishes. His wife, Elizabeth Prouz (Prouzc, Prowse, 
 Prowze), was probably a relative of Riclianl Prowse, mayor of Exeter in 1578. 
 According to the pedigree of Prouz of Chagford, near Exeter, a very old family, 
 Ilichard the mayor was seconil son of Lawrence I'rouz of, Exeter and Chagford, 
 the estate of Chagford going to Lawrence's eldest son, John, who liad a daughter 
 Elizabeth, ajiparcntly of about the ago of the Elizabeth married to Richard 
 Bevys. Tho will of Nicholas Bcvys, son of Richard, a merchant of Exeter, dated 
 November 8, 1012, and proved June 2, 1013, named as one of the executors 
 ''my brother John Marshall." Of the other sons of Richard Bevys, Peter anil 
 Richard, the former was the more prominent and became lord of the manor 
 of Bishop's Clist, near Exeter. The family is traced in Devonshire to the reign 
 of Henry IV.

 In the list of members of the Ancient and IlonornWe Artiilcry Company of 
 Boston in 1038 appears the name ''Thomas Strawbriiifre." It seems quite rcason- 
 ;ihle to suppose that this was an incorrect entry for Thomas Trowbridge, as his 
 social position and business relations would have made membership in such an 
 organization attractive to him. 
 
 The land records of the town of Dorchester contain the following references 
 to Thomas Trowbridge. The parcels of land described seem of trilling value in 
 comparison with his known means and business interests, and these extracts are of 
 importance only in so far as thoy indicate the approximate time of his arrival 
 at and removal from Dorchester.

 101-t about 4 akers and half of land on Capt'" neck which was belonging to M''- .fames 
 Marshall of ICxetcr in old England and was late in the possession of Thomas Trowbridge." 
 
 Thomas Trowbridge and his wife must have found it .i considerable hardship 
 to live in the newly settled town of Dorchester, accustomed as they were to the 
 comforts of a home in a city like Exeter. Their residence in the Massachusetts 
 village, however, was not of long duration. 
 
 Thomas Trowbriilge probably removed his househobl to the plantation of Now 
 Haven in 10-38, but his name is not found among t^hose subscribed to the articles 
 of agreement at the organization of the church or body politic there in June. 
 1039. He may have been absent from Xew Haven at that time, or, ns this 
 Fundamental Agreement, as it was afterwards eallcil, required that, '•cliurch 
 members only shall be free burgesses,"' he may not have been eligible to sign it, 
 for there is no evidence tliat he ever .severed his connection with the Church of 
 England and became a member of the Puritan Clutrch. 
 
 In the New Haven records his name again api>ears nearly always with the 
 prefbc of respect, "!Mr." In the list of proprietors of the plantation in 1041 he 
 is credited with five heads in his family. These are supposed to have been him- 
 -df and wife and three sons, Thomas, William and James. His estate is given 
 as £500, a large sum for tliat place and time, and it was among the larger of the 
 123 estates mentioned in tlie si'hedule. His lioiise lot was on the west side of what 
 is now lower St,ate strr-ot, just south of George street, "Mr. Henry ltutherford,t a 
 prominent shipping nurcliant, being bis neighbor on the south.

 the record book in 1643, after some clianges had been made corresponding with 
 changes of title, or was recorded when iirst prepared, the secretary reserving for 
 his report of the court's proceedings the thirty pages which precede it. There is 
 so much probability that the schedule was recorded before the collection of the

 Thomas Trowbridge appears to have spent but little time in this country.:^ 
 but during his sojourn here he continiied to be occupied with extensive trade 
 between England, the West Indies and the Colonies. No record was found 
 jirnving the exact date of his return to England, but it was prior to the fall of 
 1041. He probably was recalled to England on account of business or some 
 cvout of importance, and it may have been business in connection with the sottle- 
 luont of the estate of his wife. The exact date of her ileath was not found, § but 
 it is to be inferred that she did not long survive her arrival in New Haven, for 
 it is not reasonable to suppose, from what is Icnown of her character, that if she 
 hiiJ been living she could have returned to England with her husband and left 
 hor three little sons in the care of strangers, and the records show that before 
 li-nving New Haven Thomas Trowbridge placed his lands, houses, chattels and 
 oatntc in New Haven in trust with his servant or steward, Henry Gibbons, 
 for the benefit of his three sons, whom ho also left in Gibbons' care. It does not 
 npp^'nr that he ever returned to America. 
 
 (ubbons gave so little attention to his master's affairs at New Haven and the 
 euro of his sons, that as early as November, 1641, the colony court ordered an 
 iillnchnicnt to be placed on Jlr. Trowbridge's property "to pay tho town's rates 
 mill satisfy the demands of those persons to whom he is indebted." The court 
 plnccd tlie children under the care of Sergeant Thomas Jeffrey and his wife, who 
 wiTO to keep them in their home until such time as "their father shall come over 
 or wnd to take order co7\cerning them," wlien the court should determine "what 
 i* I'qiiul for him to have for the keeping of them and in the meantime he will 
 tnkp cnrc that they be well educated and nurtured in the fear of God." ilr. 
 .Iclin Evnnce took the house, which Gibbons had allowed to fall into need of 
 iinnirdinte repairs, at £100, and settled the claim-; of the creditors. 
 
 The references to Thomas Trowbridge in the Now Ha\en records for the next 
 fi-\v yeni-s consist of accounts of the legal complications arising from hi- 
 •tiMvord's malfeasance. They are merely technical and are not of sufficient 
 iiit<'rt><t or importance to demand reprinting hcre.|| 'i'liat he did nor return to 
 Ni'w Huvcn and personally take charge .-f bis affairs there was probably because 
 laulters of greater importance kept him in ICngland. '

 It must be remembered that the Civil War iii England bo^an soon after 
 Thomas Trowbridge left America. Ta\inton was t;iken by tlie Parliament 
 forces in AugTist, IG-t'i, • ami the principal g<>ntry of the neighborhood, tiie 
 trained biinds, the mayor and principal inhabitants of the town, ai<Ied with 
 horse and foot the intention of securing tiiis place for the Parlianient. The 
 attpni|>t to secure and fortify Taunton in the interest of the Parliament soon 
 met with a temporary impe<linK'nt and defeat, for in the next year the marquess 
 of ITi.'rtfonl tlrovc out the Parliament forces and took possession, of it in favor 
 ■ if the king. But tho fruits of this victory were not lasting, for on .Inly S, 
 1G44, soon aft«?r the battle of ^larston lloor. Colonel Blake and .Sir Kohort Pye 
 again toolc Taimton for tho Parliament. For some months things remained in a 
 quiet st.ito at Taunton, but early in tlie spring of 104.') an anny of ten thousand 
 i.f the king's forces under Lord Goring marched to the attack of the town and 
 began wliat is known as the si(>ge of 'I'aunton. The liistoi-y of the siege, ending 
 with tho final relief of the town, is well known.* 
 
 Thomas Trowbridge aft<^r the death of liis father came into his inherit.inee, 
 being tho only surviving son. lie succi.vded his father as the chief Trowbridge in 
 Taunton, just as the latter had .succeeiled his father, and" that he was a man of 
 ronseqiience there is shown by the prominence given him in the pedigree of his 
 wife's family which has been previously i[uote(l. lie wrote often to the authori- 
 ties at New Haven to bring (iibbons to an account for his breach of trust, but 
 Gibbons kept possession of the Trowbridge estates in New Haven for many 
 years, and affairs remained thus until the sons came of age. 
 
 They liad continued in the meantime to pass their boyhood under the care of 
 .Sergeant Jeffrey, their father evidently being satisfied with that arrangement, 
 i'hey had received a good education under the instruction of Mr. Ezekiel 
 Cheever, tho famous colonial schoolmaster.+ who taught the first school in New 
 Haven. In the colony records it is noted tiuit at a court held February S, 1C4.3-4, 
 •'Mr. Cheever desired 4-;i-G out of the estate of Jlr. Trowbridge w'^h is justly 
 due to him for teaching y'' children." Tlie course of instruction to be pursued 
 by the schoolmaster for his scholars at tliat time was '"after they are entered 
 and can read in the Testament; to perfect them in English; and teach them 
 their Latin tongiie as they are capable; and to write.'' 
 
 Soon after ho came of age William Trowbridge endeavored to have an account- 
 ing made of his fatlier's estate that was left in New Haven, and for this end 
 presented to the court two letters from his fatiier. one dated ilarch O, 1G55, aivl 
 the other March 4, l(i.">S, whcriMn his father wrote that he "marvells that there 
 is not an account of it given." This attempt to recover from (iibbons w;us a 
 failure, but finally, on January 19, lG0.'i-4, Mr. Trowbridge executed and sent to 
 his three sons a power of attorney, making over to them jointly and severally liis 
 property in New England wjierover found, to be retained and equally divided 
 hetween them, and bring the said Gibbons t'> account and punishment.

CHARLEY TROWBRIDGE 
 
 Uncle Charley Trowbridge was the last one of our direct line of the 
 Trowbridge family, who carried the Trowbridge name. He was my mother's 
 only brother. 
 
 She used to tell me of his childhood days - the time at age 3 yrs . , 
 when he wandered away from their home on the farm, and was found trudging 
 along down a small ravine carrying his trousers in his arms. 
 
 Another time at 7 yrs. of age, he decided that he did not want to walk 
 to school, a mile away. So each day he would say "My boots hurt my feet, 
 I can't walk." So she, only 12 yrs. old herself, would have to carry the 
 husky little fellow on her back, to school. 
 
 I was 10 yrs. old when I first knew him. He was 29 at that time. He 
 lived that year (1900) with us and helped my mother and her four children, 
 operate the farm where we lived in the Cleveland Community 7 miles south 
 of Santa Anna, Texas. 
 
 I remember that in those days, all men on farms carried pocket knives 
 in their pockets. My small brothers, Willie and Roscoe , were always asking 
 to borrow Uncle Charley's pocket knife. So one day he bought each boy a 
 knife equipped with a 20 inch chain which hooked on to a shirt button to 
 keep it from being lost. They enjoyed their knives very much. Willie still 
 had his little knife when he passed away in 1971, at age 80 yrs. 
 
 Uncle Charley was a good man, calm, and quiet and very devoted to his 
 mother. 
 
 Soon after her death in the Cleveland Community he built himself a -'■ 
 small boat in which he rowed down the Texas' Colorado River to near 
 Austin where the boat capsized. He returned home. A year or two later 
 he drifted West. No one heard from him again for 32 years. He was then 
 living in Olympia , Washington. 
 
 A few months later he became seriously ill and his two sisters were 
 notified. 
 
 Roscoe sent them, (Clara Kilmer and Lena Cupps) to Olympia immediately 
 (Ruby drove them) . When they arrived at the hospital there, Uncle Charley 
 had passed away one hour before. 
 
 Funeral services were arranged and he was buried the next day in 
 Olympia.

 •TAD" "GRANPAr" 
 
 Didn't anyone enjoy those early picnic, anymore than 
 Grandad. What-ever games, that were being played, dominoes 
 baseball, croquet, what-ever. Grandad was right In the middle 
 of It. 
 
 As the Grandkids came along, they found out that Grandad like 
 white Easter eggs. A lot of the Grandkids can remember pick- 
 ing out their white Easter eggs for Grandaid . 
 
 As time went along Grandad didn't make all of the picnic, but 
 he did make most of the later picnic and enjoyed hls-self . 
 Grandad had a big time at the 1970 picnic, with all nine children 
 present . 
 
 Grandad never missed a Easter Sunday or any Sunday at Church. 
 
 With the passing of Grandad, the first generation of the picnic 
 comes to a end . 
 
 If all of Grandad family should show up for the 1979 picnic, 
 there would be 102. What a wonderful hereditary to pass on. 
 Grandad was very proud of his family.

Sherril Carlson twisted her ankle in one of the 
 balloon games. Jeff Herring got into stickers 
 and had a time pulling them out. Kellie broke 
 out in a rash. 
 
 The 1981 Picnic was jolly and a -.Tiice gathering. 
 I enjoyed seeing the new babys because we seem 
 to be decreasing each year. The more the merrier 
 for the Easter Egg and Treasure hunts. They are 
 really fun. Charlie sure is imaginative with the 
 clues.- Rene Elder 
 
 The association was impeccable Craig Schulle 
 
 I enjoyed the 1981 picnic very much, I was a grand- 
 mother for the first time. Mellie Wilson was 2 mts. 
 old. She has to be the cutest, sweetest little baby 
 I've ever seen. I had sad feelings in my heart this 
 year. I knew we would never have another picnic with 
 Harrell. I love all my uncles but Harrell had a special 
 place in my heart. I can remember when I was very 
 little and my Daddy had to leave us to serve our 
 country. I was too young to understand what it 
 was all about but I can remember I just "had to have 
 a Daddy" and it didn't take me long to decide Preacher 
 would do just fine. ITe ate his dessert before meals 
 like I i/^ould do, saved my toes from being stuck with 
 a fork (because I put my feet on the table). Carried 
 me home and washed me up after I was black as a negro 
 from lightening striking our stove pipe. He did give 
 me a spanking once, but it really didn't hurt. I loved 
 him and will miss his smile. In Memory of Harrell Roscoe

 I have enjoyed writing these memos for the 
 Treasure Book. It has been fun and also sad, 
 ironic as it may be this is the 40th picnic and 
 I will be 40 this Year. I like the sound of twice 
 twenty better. I want to thank Brown for helping 
 me get this together and everyone who contributed

1982 "Cupps" Easter Picnic y^ p^^^^ /y^^ 
 
 \0 rjj \ r\ 
 
 Easter '82 blew in like a norther & felt like one too.' Jean s Frank 
 rolled in with their trailer s Russell Williams, Frank Williams, & James 
 Hartman pitched their tent for the stay. The coal shoveling began around 10:30 
 Friday night after wood from all around had been hauled s piled high. Those 
 shoveling coals were David Morgan & Jimmy Schulle. Rocky Cox rolled in that 
 night in his 18 wheeler s Billy Don came by later to put the meat on to cook. 
 Without the sleepless nights of the above mentioned guys, our tummies would not 
 witness the pleasure of the delious B-BQ. 
 
 Charlie & Thelma had the grounds manicured. They must have started on them 
 about Monday morning after the 81 Easter picnic. I think I can speak for the 98 
 peaple in attenance — that without their long hard work we would all have an empty 
 spot in our hearts. We all love you all for your dedication to the picnic. 
 
 Saturday morning more & more folks came in-in ones, twos, bunches. I be- 
 lieve this year proved to be the largest reunion recorded. But it still can be 
 
 increased as of April 12th, 1982 we have 113 Cupps family members. I be- 
 
 it was stated at this picnic we will have three new members to the "Cupps" clan; 
 Regina (Cupps) Walker, Susan (Brooks) Wilson, & Johna Fay (Herring) Gibson are all 
 expecting additions to their families. By noon it was cold but we all still 
 enjoyed the great B-BQ & all the trimings that the ladies are so good at fixin. 
 After the lunch the tables were cleared s the Easter Bunnies began their egg hidin. 
 Easter Bunnies this day were: Margie golden, Peggy Sikes, Delores Vaughn, Joan 
 
 Lunsford, s Pam Morgan. Oh there were sooo many eggs. The children had gone 
 
 to Billy Don's to j\mip on the tram-o-line & to play basketball. All really en- 
 joyed that. Trey Lunsford said he went to jump on the " jump-o-line" . Well, 
 when the pickups came back they ran over a few of the eggs that the bunnies left. 
 Those hunting eggs were: Trey Lunsford, John Morgan, Peter & Jeff Herring, James 
 Hitchcock ( the youngest I think), Kellie & Sandy Molden, Kasha Cupps, Frank 
 Williams, Russell Williams, James Hartman, Justin, Bobbie Jo, s Ricky Burleson, & 
 Maria & Terry Carlson. Terry found the prise egg & got a chocolate bunny for it. 
 Some were trying to talk him out of it but he was holding on to it pretty tight. 
 Craig Schulle made dinosaur eggs for the smaller ones to find during the egg 
 hunt. I wonder if the cave children hunted dino eggs? 
 
 After the egg hunt the games were started. The water ballon toss was the 
 
 first game well with the temperature around 40^ some were kind of leary to 
 
 have the ballons thrown at theiji. Doug & Iris were the chmapions of the ballon 
 toss. The neat game was the ballon popping contest. Team 2 won the game 2 times 
 
 in a row.' \ \ I think it was rigged cause a lot of the chairs fell over with 
 
 the other teams? Charlene had a game of pin the tail on the "rabbit". There 
 was a lot of swinging, see-sawing, & baseball playing. The 42 tables were set up 
 for some serious playing. Never did find out who the champion was. 
 
 We had a new thing brought to picnic this year; that being the display of 
 pictures. We had pictures from way back up to the present. It was interesting 
 to see how & what changes in people had been over the years. A lot of memories 
 were brought back to reality with those phots. Hope everyone got their pictures 
 back. 
 
 The Saturday evening weiner & marshmellow roast was held around the big fire. 
 The temperature had dropped so the fires sure did feel good. Staying over to 
 help with keeping the fires going for the B-BQ were Billy Don, Rocky, Ricky, Jimmy, 
 & David. I think these guys might have gotten a little damp during the night.

At the Church Services Siinday morning were 54 family & friends, 2 rabbits 
 of Kasha's & Thelma's dog. Those attending to hear Jack Bryant's sermon (Cindy 
 Terry's husband) ot "Prayer" were: Bill & Eppie Lowery, Bea Cupps, Steve Ingram, 
 Rhonda, Jean, Frank, Emmitt, Eunice, Tawana, Cindy, Rand, Sherrill, Maria, Terry, 
 Darrel, Lucille, James Hartman, Frank Williams, J.E., Ovella, Russell, Billy Don, 
 Kasha, Browne, Patsy, Shala, Jeffery, Jolinda Covey, Vickie Cummings, Rachel, Clara 
 Pam, John, Charlene, Jimmy, Gene, James, Joan, Trey, Casey, Evaline, Marlina 
 Pearce, Rodney, Bo Sikes, Glen Cook, Kenneth, Peggy, Iris, Margie, Sandy, Kellie, 
 Doug, Charlie, & Thelma. The song service was conducted by Emmitt, & Browne. 
 It was a great Easter Service. Thanks to all who took part in it. 
 
 After the Church Service, everyone began setting up the tables, moving the 
 chairs, s preparing the food tables. We had a bountiful B-BQ lunch with all the 
 trimmimgs possible. Shortly after lunch a baseball game was started. Some of 
 the guys & gals were dragged away from the table to play. No tiem to let the 
 food settle at the "Cupps" Picnicsli: Those playing ball were Craig Schulle, 
 Gene Schulle, Russell Williams, Frank Williams, James Hartman, Rand Carlson, 
 Rodneys Bo Sikes, Roger, David, Jolinda Covey, Vickie Cummings, Shala Brooks, 
 Jeffery Brooks, & Rocky Cox. An egg hunt was held & a walk to the big tree. 
 It took seven people holding hands to go around the big oak tree. One of the 
 groups going got lost but soon all was back together at the picnic grounds. 
 
 After the trip to the tree, the business meeting was held. A suggestion box 
 had been placed on the table on Saturday rooming & the suggestions were read at 
 the meeting & discussed. Here was one of the suggestions: "I feel that the 
 yotinger men that live around here should help prepare the picnic area. The 
 younger people ought to help out more during the picnic, itie Cupps' Easter picnic 
 gets its originality from the out in-the- pasture atmosphere & all the great 
 homemade food, I hope that this will always remain the same. If anyone has 
 ideas of taking the picnic from the pasture, just wipe it away. If it is re- 
 moved it will loose all its character & originality." 
 
 The nominations for President were: Charlie - 9 votes; Peggy - 1 vote; Charlene 
 9 votes; Ovella - 4 ; Frank Cox - 4; Rhonda 1; Pam - 6. Charlie & Charlene had 
 a run off with Charlene being nominated for President 1982. Nominations for 
 Secretary were: Margie -17 votes; Sydney- 9 votes; Exinice - 1; Joan - 9; & 
 Rhonda-1. Margie being the secretary for 1982. It was voted to have the picnic 
 at Charlie's place & in case of bad weather to have it at the Church. B-BQ will be 
 the main course for 2 days but to cut it down a little was suggested. Nobody is 
 to bring plates, silverware, napkins, coffee cups, or sugar. There were 2 teas 
 left. Sydney, Cindy, & Rhonda will be in charge of the games.

 good picnic 109 registered 
 and guess what Pete & Jr. 
 came Sun. about noon & told 
 me they were here to see 
 Lawson . 
 
 All 9 children were represented

 but 4 of kids did. Louise, 
 Jimmy, Judy and Don, and 
 Betty Joyce came for Barrel. 
 God surely blessed us: sure 
 missed Lucille."

THE LEMES ARE 
 WHOLE FAMILY 
 OF SERVICEMEN 
 
 Ralph T. Lemes of Lakeport 
 is currently a member of the 
 recently formed "Giants Pla- 
 toon" of the U.S. Marine 
 Corps, at their San Diego 
 base. 
 
 He is the son of Mr. and 
 Mrs. Ralph Lemes, who ac- 
 companied him to induction 
 ceremonies recently in San 
 Francisco which were held at 
 the home plate of the Giants 
 Stadium prior to a major 
 league game which the induc- 
 tees and their parents wit- 
 nessed. 
 
 Young Lemes' platoon dur- 
 ing his training period will be 
 in direct competition to a sim- 
 ilar unit, the Dodgers, which 
 was formed in Southern Cal- 
 ifornia. The two training 
 eroups will strive to outdo 
 each other in all phases of 
 their recruit training, a Mar- 
 ine Corps spokesman stated. [ 
 
 Two older brothers are also 
 in the armed services. Ronald 
 Lemes, who is the oldest, is 
 an Air Force sergeant and in- 
 structor at Biloxi, Miss. Jey 
 R. Lemes is a staff sergeant 
 in the Army, and is also an 
 instructor at the Huntsville, 
 Ala., base. 
 
 Father of the boys is also a 
 serviceman — Ralph Lemes, 
 who retired from the Air 
 Force in 1964 as a full col- 
 onel, is now the owner of the 
 Phillips 66 station on South 
 Main Street. He was last sta- 
 tioned at New Bedford, Mass., 
 where he was in charge of el- 
 ectronics programs.

SHE WAS A LADY 
 
 BY WANDA 
 
 Though Gramma has been dead twenty years, the glow of her memory is undi- 
 
 mlshed. She touched us lightly, but the impact was terrific. She never lived 
 
 in the past; her Interests lay in the present and the future. Were she here, 
 
 she would be pinching pennies just in case a small space be made available 
 
 on a moonship. 
 
 If being a lady connotes worldly possessions, then Gramma wasn't one, 
 but if one is measured by inner attributes, then she was indeed a lady of 
 quality. In her own limited way, she even did that which was right. For her, 
 a wrong just couldn't be twisted to look good. No amount of persuasion could 
 change her. Her sole income was old age assistance, yet she would report each 
 meager amount of money she received as gifts. To refrain from doing so, re- 
 gardless of the consequences to her pitiable monthly check, would have smacked 
 of rank dishonesty. She wasn't about to lose the innate pleasure of a gift to 
 a thrashing, troubled conscience. 
 
 Her total hours toiling in the hot, dusty fields would be considerable, 
 yet to her the night was made for much needed rest. On hot, summer evenings 
 she sat with her children on the front porch, telling them marvelous things 
 about the stars, the Bible and history. Because of this, her children, though 
 not highly educated, read extensively and had considerable reasoning power. 
 
 She never ceased to be excited by knowledge. Newspaper clippings and 
 magazine articles concerning new discoveries about space, archeology and the 
 world in general were thoughtfully brought to her. As her black eyes excitedly 
 devoured the information, she would murmur softly, "Oh my, oh my!" The space- 
 age was in its infancy during her lifetime, but she truly believed men of 
 vision would someday reach the moon. Now we watch men bolt into space on our 
 television screens. We wish she were here to share this wondrous accomplishment 
 of man-kind with us. 
 
 When Gramma moved into town and had electricity, six relatives, unbeknownest 
 
 245 
 
to each other, sent her an assortment of radios. She marvelled that sound could 
 be carried on the a1r waves. She got carried away with one soap ooera in oarti- 
 cular. It was about a ridiculous, silly man with a long suffering wife. She 
 listened faithfully with irritable patience. With her silver, close-cropped 
 head almost touching the softly-tuned radio, she would sit in motionless suspense. 
 One afternoon we heard her muttering, "Damn fool!" Imagine our consternation and 
 delight from one so strait-laced and proper! 
 
 She was never Idle. When she grew tired, she didn't wait until a task was 
 finished to relax. She would stop for fifteen minutes and be ready to resume 
 her work, full steam ahead. She always had a small garden plot, a quilt on a 
 quilt frame, cross-word puzzles to mull over and cast off magazines to read in 
 odd moments. She read and took food to shut-in neighbors then obliging rubbed 
 their tired, old backs If they were bed-fast. Before church, she walked the half 
 mile to the small -town post office because she knew a newsy letter from her 
 faithful daughter would be waiting. As her eyesight failed miserably, she used 
 her donated quilt scraps to make tiny dresses for little doll -loving girls in 
 children's homes. 
 
 At eighty years of age, she began to grow frail. Two years later she died 
 as she had lived -- quietly and with dignity. 
 
 V/e went quietly to her rented room to gather her meager possessions. As we 
 passed her tiny garden by the back door, we saw the turnips were crisp and 
 green. We gathered them because we knew the waste would hurt if she knew. Inside 
 the door, we saw a clean but happy clutter. V/e sadly began the final task of 
 sorting her fist-full of possessions. There were seventy-six finished doll dresses 
 by her open sewing machine. She had indeed been doing for others to the end. 
 
 Knowing her Intent, we slowly oacked them as we unashamedly wept, and sent 
 them where little g,irls without loving grammas live and olay.

 Fathers Day 1978 
 
 Dear Loleeta and Ralph, 
 
 It was such a pleasant surprise that you called me by 
 telephone. I was surprised you had gotten my letter so soon 
 after I mailed it. Thanks for your nice letter, I've enjoyed 
 so much reading it. AJ ..o thanks for the picture copy. I suppose 
 you meant for me to keep it. If so I will /rive it to our 
 Daughter because her Brother has the original. We also enjoyed 
 looking at the Sun City Activities Calendar. Rita liked it, but 
 then she is getting old and more Civic minded J You two must live 
 in a real retirement City. Anyway it seems there is never a dull 
 moment. It's nice that everyone can stay busy. 
 
 As you will find enclosed, I have mailed the original Uncle 
 Charley letters to you. The first one (with the envelope) which 
 was addressed to my late Grandmother, the other one was the 
 answer to Grandads reply to the first one. NOW, before you get 
 after me for taking a chance of getting them lost, let me explain. 
 I haven't had any luck trying to copy them on a regular x-erox 
 machine. Being so old and written in pencil they just will not 
 copy. My only other choice was the off-set photo copier. The 
 Printer won't set it up for less than fifty copies of each page 
 plus fifty copies of the envelope, and the envelope is a story in 
 itself. That seemed so expensive and I'm not sure they would be 
 good copies. I sent the same origionals to Thelma to have copied. 
 i didn't see her copies but I suppose she was happy with them. 
 Anyhow I'm sending them to you so you can see about copies. If 
 you don't mind I'm sending back your three georges because I 
 didn't use them. OK? You are welcome to take the old letters and 
 see if you can have successful copies made of them, then send 
 them back or send me a copy of them. I inherited them from my 
 Mother some years ago, and I have kept them only for posterity 
 sake. They have now been around for forty years and I know they 
 will do noone any good laying around in some ones chest of drawers 
 waiting to be lost forever. My only desire is for them, along with 
 their strange story, to become a part of the W. A. Trowbridge 
 history. So do as you like about them, OK? 
 
 If you don't mind hearing it, I may be able to add a little 
 to the story of that first letter from Uncle Charley T. 
 At the time Grandad Allison received the letter he was carrying the 
 mail on the Trickham and Whon Rural Route. He had bid on, and was 
 awarded tliat particular rur-al route contract previously on two 
 consecutive one year terms, but was at that time delivering the 
 mail on a three year contract for the Post Office Dept. Because of 
 the way Uncle Charley had written Santa Anna, the letter had first 
 gone to San Antonio. (Post mark on back of envelope) Then evidently 
 some alert postal clerk had written in red ink, and I might add, in 
 beautiful handwriting, Santa Anna, Texas. The Postmaster in Santa- 
 Anna asked Grandad if the letter might be for him. He said he had 
 a Brother-in-law named Charley Trowbridge but none of the family 
 had any word about him in thirty years. Grandad took the letter but 
 was reluctant to open and read it so carried it with him all day 
 on his mail route. When he got back to Santa Anna that after noon 
 
 2 94 
 
the Postmaster, an old friend of his Mr. Lee Woodward I believe, 
 asked him about the letter. Grandad said he would let him know'the 
 next morning. He took the letter home and asked his wife Lillie 
 to open and read it, for somehow he just couldn't open and read 
 it himself. We (our family) had left the farm in '36' and at that 
 time (for a year) lived in Wichita Falls about a hundred and fifty 
 miles from Santa Anna. Grandad wrote to Mother sending the letter 
 and asking her what he should do. Mother helped him to write a 
 reply to Uncle Charley, and of coarse the rest is history. He 
 answered letters from other members of his family including the 
 enclosed second letter he wrote to Grandad. I know of no other 
 letters he may have written to Grandad Allison. If there were 
 others Mother didn't get them or never mentioned them. 
 
 My Mother had always clearly remembered her Mother Permelia 
 giving Uncle Charley some folded pages from a writing tablet, as 
 he was leaving Niwot, asking him to write to her. When my Mother 
 saw that first letter she noticed the paper looked so o] d and 
 yellowed around the edges that she always believed they were some 
 of the same pages his Sister had given him thirty years before. 
 Of coarse no one knows, but it could have been some of the same 
 paper. The thing I have often thought of is the miracle that my 
 Grandad got the letter at all. By the way it was addressed we 
 surely have to give credit to some persistent postal clerks for 
 helping get it to where it was intended. If it had of gotten lost 
 or even sent back to Olympia, chances are that none of us would 
 have ever known about Uncle Charley. What really happened to him 
 could have always remained a mystery to his people. 1 say this 
 because when your Grandmother and Aunt Clara went to see him, he 
 had already passed away and the State was arranging to bury his 
 body with State funds and had made no effort to notify any of his 
 relatives. I understand his Sisters were told he only had about 
 twenty dollars cash when he died. The authorities may have been 
 truthful or, there may have been more money. They also found that 
 he owned about forty acres of land with the shack he had lived in. 
 They discovered there were considerable deliquent back taxes owed 
 on the property, so not having the time and funds to try and keep 
 it they let it revert back to the State. Who knows, that 40 acres 
 might be worth a million dollars todayi Anyhow it all makes for 
 an interesting true story. The truth is indeed stranger than fiction, 
 
 You asked about the original pictures of the Reed Cupps _ fami ly . 
 There were no dates on them, only the names my Mother had written 
 on the backs. On the front, at the bottom, including the one of 
 the copy you sent to me, was: CHAMBERS STUDIOS, SANTA ANNA, TEXAS. 
 I know that was before my time. 
 
 You mentioned about Uncle Silas and Aunt Myrtle Wagner being 
 related on your Grandmother Spencer's side of the family. As I'm 
 sure you know, my Daddy's elder Sister, Aunt Viola Perry married 
 Hillard Thornton, Grandmother Wagner's eldest Son. So the two lerry 
 Sisters married half Brothersl Uncle Hillard and Aunt Viola left 
 Coleman County many years ago, before I can remember, and went to 
 Rrawlev Calif Uncle Hillard was a Mortician so they established 
 a'aier^l home business in Brawley which they operated many years 
 
 295 
 
until they retired a few years apo . Aunt Viola made a few trips 
 back to Texas to visit her people here but Uncle Hillard, as far 
 as I know, only came back once and that was in the 20' s - 25 or 
 26 1 believe it was. I was too younp; to remember about it. 
 I had the p-ood fortune t.. ^et to visit with them at their home 
 one time in 1943« As you know I was in the Navy, 19^3-^6. I was 
 in the Navy Air Dept. so spent most of my service time flying. 
 I had f fine through basic training at N.A.S. Astoria, Oregon with 
 U.S. Naval Air Squadron VC 60. From there we (the squadron) were 
 transfered to NAS Holtville, Calif, for four weeks of night flying 
 (training). You can imagine griping and groaning we did from being 
 cool rain-forest climate of the North-West corner of 
 
 the squadron jeeps - you know, T sort of checked it out under 
 •official business* to go the Marine Air Station at El Centre. 
 But the ,]eep turned the wrong way and I wound up going north to 
 Brawley to visit my Uncle and Aunt. I enjoyed a most pleasant visit 
 with them all that afternoon, (ha, I never did locate that ficticous 
 Marine Colonel at El Centre). I remember one of uncle Millard's 
 favorite jokes was that in his profession he didn't have to worry 
 much about do-it-yourself kits hurting his business. I also remem- 
 ber that when T told them where I was stationed they both chuckled, 
 then went on to explain they had a contract with the Navy to pick 
 up and take care of any fatal casualties from Holtville NASI I 
 laughed and said I hoped they didn't get my remains in their morgue, 
 but Aunt Viola assured me that their contract had a clause stating 
 they would not work on any relatives. Some consolation huh. 
 They could tell many strange and weird stories of their undertaking 
 career. She worked along with him in the business. They are still 
 living there in Southern Calif. I know that Uncle Hillard has been 
 in bad health for a long time and they must be around 90 years old 
 by now. Aunt Viola was older than my Dad. After they retired they 
 often thought of moving back to Texas. I suppose it was through 
 Aunt Myrtles persistence, but at one time they even arranged to 
 buy a place in Santa Anna but something happened that it never 
 materialized. I'm sure if they ever really wanted to move back to 
 Texas that they just waited till it was too late. Aunt Viola wasn't 
 able to make the trip when Aunt Myrtle died and I often wander about 
 them because they have no living children. My Cousin Nila, Uncle 
 Gordon Perry's oldest Daughter, used to look in on them when she 
 and her Husband Jeff lived in southern Calif, but they now live near 
 her Mother, Aunt Gladys Perry, in Doublin, Texas. It seems so sad 
 for people to grow old without children around to care for their 
 well being. 
 
 I just thought of another little true story about our Grandpa 
 W.A. and my Grandad Allison. I remember it pretty much in detail 
 because I've heard my Grandad tell it many times. I'll tell it as 
 best I can remember. Back somewhere around the turn of the century, 
 I can't recall what year, perhaps Bertha Spence would know. Aunt 
 Clara Kilmer and family lived in Oklahoma (Indian Territory). 
 
 2 96 
 
She had decided to'leatve* her Husband Mt- u-ii™^ 
 
 her Daddy asking him to come get he? and her fSurVh n ?' ""'''^^ ^° 
 
 llT.Tf^t '\'^'^' V" ^^^ -^- and'Jook'offX'ln aTTerritorv 
 tho f H \'^r^ °^ ^* ^^^^^"t ^^° hundred and fifty miles Ind?n^' 
 those days must have taken months. Anyhow on the way back to Niwil 
 It seems they had encountered bad weather between ?ortSorth and 
 Stephenville. plus I'm sure his team was weary and they were all 
 travel weary, so Grandpa wrote a letter to Grandad Allison (hi ^ 
 
 ^h^'r r ^^k'"^ ^^'" "^^ "■^^'^^ °"^ i" ^'^ ^^^°" and come to meet 
 them to help them get home. Tellie prompl y hitched his best team 
 to the best wagon and took off alone toward StephenvHle. He went 
 thru Brownwood then Comanche and a few miles north of Comanche? 
 where the Leon River crosses highway US67 , he spotted them stranded 
 and camped because of high flood waters from the recent rains 
 There was a bridge across the river channel but about a half mile 
 north of the river is a depression whore over flowing water was 
 running wide and swift. Grandad, being the young 'showoff that he 
 was, decided to try going across with the team and wagon. He later 
 would say he didn't stop to realize tha : Grandpa W.A. would not 
 have risked the crossing with all those Children and belongings ' 
 until the water had receded to a safe level, and he was iust as 
 well off on the other side, so off into the water he drove! He 
 reached the middle where the water was so swift, up to the wagon 
 bed, that the team could barely manage the situation. At that 
 moment a long drifting log came down stream and lodged squarely on 
 the end of the wagon tongue just in front of the horses! For a 
 long anxious moment while everyone held their breath they waited 
 to see if the log would swing toward the wagon, which surely meant 
 everything would be swept down the gorge, or would it swing and 
 drift free in front of them. Finally it slowly swung out in front 
 of the horses and drifted free, but it had been a close call. 
 Grandad often said that when he pulled up to their wagon if the 
 old man had said, "well, lets get started", he would have declined 
 by Eayinj5, go ahead, I'll wait untill the water goes down a bit. 
 A few hours later they all went on toward Niwot and made the rema- 
 inder of the trip withuot further incident. 
 
 I have driven down highway 6? by that spot many times and I 
 never pass by there without thinking of that true story. What 
 always fascinated me most about the story was that Grandpa wrote 
 a letter in Stephenville which is only about 80 miles from Santa 
 Anna. Now days one can easily drive it in an hour and a half. 
 Most of it is divided four lane highway. The Santa Fe railroad 
 runs between Sthephenville and Santa Anna and in those days that 
 was the only mode of travel which made any good time. The mail 
 always traveled quickly. 
 
 As I'm sure you know. Grandpa Trowbridge founded the town 
 of Niwot, Texas. There was a general store, a Post office and a 
 barber shop. Grandpa T. was the Postmaster, other members of the 
 family operated the store and Grandad Tellie operated the barber 
 shop for several years. The records in the Texas archives in 
 Austin tells of it. 1 looked it all up one time when I was there. 
 We often wandered where Grandpa got the name Niwot. I suppose no 
 one knows for sure, but from what I could lenrn, the general con- 
 sensus of opinion is that it came from an old Indian word meaning, 
 •near water' . 
 
 297 
 
I roamed around the grounds, where Niwot once stood, many 
 times when I was growing up. The only things left there that I 
 recall, were; the rock and mortar round top of an old under 
 ground water sistern, which is gone now, and a couple of old oak 
 trees. To me it always seemed a little sad that a little town- 
 ship could flourish, then suddenly die. How.ver we all know that 
 in the early pioneer days towns usually lived or died dependir^g 
 on where the railroads were built. Thats what happened to 
 Trickham, the oldest town in Coleman County. The railroad was 
 built through San La Anna J 
 
 The old W.B.Allison place (of which Niwot was once at the 
 north-east corner) still belongs to a descendant of the Allison's. 
 My Great Grandfather W.B. Allison bought the 32o acres in I879 for 
 $1.50 per acre. When he and Great Grandmother died in 1935. just 
 nine days apart, half of the place (south 160 aci-es) was deeded 
 to Dr. T.Richard Sealy who had cared for them during their long 
 illness. This v/as done to pay the Dr. and hospital, bills plus 
 the burial expences. The north 160 acres was inherited by the 
 eight Allison heirs, twenty undivided acres each. The State would 
 not allow it to be officially divided. Through the years my Great 
 Aunt Mollie Allison Nabcurs-Hnyr -Cochran gradualy, through hook 
 and crook, acquired all the I60 acres. When she died a few years 
 ago it went to her only living Son, Wilber Nabours who is a retired 
 rancher in Oklahoma. 
 
 The old Allison place hasn't been worked in 30 years so the 
 once little cultivated fields have grown up in mesquite brush. 
 I used to love to go there just to roam around in the fresh 
 country air by retracing my many footsteps I made there since I 
 can remember, and also reminisce the many fond memories I have of 
 those days gone by. I suppose those were signs of getting old. 
 
 You said something in your letter about Bertha Spence. By 
 coincidence she was here just last week! She flew from Calif, to 
 visit with Rodney, Joyce and family. Rodney and I see each other 
 often, and he had told me his Mother was comming out for a weeks 
 visit. So last Saturday, the day before your Birthday, I drove to 
 Grand Prairie where they live, just a few miles from here, and 
 had a most delightful visit with Bertha and all of them. Bertha 
 read the Uncle Charley letters and told little interesting stories 
 of him and Grandpa T. I enjoyed it so much. Now I wish I had 
 thought to ask Bertha if she knew what year it was when Grandpa T 
 went to Oklahoma to fetch her Mother and family back to Texas. 
 Bertha is 87 years old. 
 
 You spoke of my old wartime wounds. Well that has been Jk 
 years ago and they won't be any better, but I long ago learned 
 that a person can make the best of most anything. When I first 
 left the Service 1 had a bit of that, feel sorry for myself atti- 
 tude, and often thought; now why did this have to happen to me? 
 Why me have to be a cripple for life? Then in 19^7 I had an opper- 
 tunity to go overseas while working for the Government. I worked 
 overseas for three years 19^t)f-^9-50. Most of that time 1 was on 
 Guam and in the Philippine Islands. While I was over there I had 
 
 2 98 
 
opportunity to, and did, make working tours all over the far 
 East. I went to .Japan, China, India, Pakastan, Siam, many of the 
 Islands and even 'down under' to Australia and New Zealand. 
 I saw all that part of our world as a civilian traveling on a 
 passport, and I learned many things. I was once and for all 
 convinced of how much our dear ole U.S. of America means to me. 
 When we stopped in Hawaii on the way home I remember how beauti- 
 ful it looked to me again. When I arrived back home 1 made a 
 promise to myself I would never again grpie about my little mis- 
 fortunes because I was so fortunate to have been born in the 
 greatest coi^intry on earth. My whole outlook on this short life 
 was changed and I have been able to do pretty good by thanking 
 my maker for, and counting, my many blessings through the years. 
 Real life has it's disappointments and heartaches but I simply 
 have no room to gripe about misfortune. 
 
 Rita and I are not wealthy by any standards, we just meet 
 our obligations and manage to live comfortable, but in many ways 
 we feel we are some of the i-ichest people in the world. We have 
 so many things to be thankful for. Health, happiness, good 
 Children, good relatives, good friends and to live in a country 
 with the freedom to go and to do whatever whenever we desire. 
 Many of our friends had told us that when our Children grew up 
 and 'flew the coop', so to speak, we would be lonely in this big 
 ole house alone. I'm happy to say that in our case nothing has 
 been furthekr from the truth. We have enjoyed being alone again. 
 We have been free to pursue our interests and hobbies and to 
 roam around some in our later years. Our Children live within 
 about four blocks of one another which is about a mile from us. 
 They all have good jobs and they are healthy and happy, so what 
 more could we ask? This is the old nest to them, so they pop in 
 and out now and then during each week. They all seem to have that 
 sense of seeing about Mom and Dad, so Rita and I are living it up. 
 We have taken advantage of a freedom that many people dream about. 
 When we decide to go to the Coast (Texascoast) for a few days, or 
 maybe to Ohio and Michigan or wherever, we call the Kids and say, 
 "feed the old cat now and then for us, we will be gone for a few 
 days". Thats all there is to it. We are now known to our Kids and 
 friends as, 'gad abouts'.We like itl 
 
 I,o]eeta I'm sorry that I have probably bored you with this 
 long letter (book) I have written. 1 rarely write a personal 
 letter any more, but this morning I arose with the urge to write 
 a letter to some one. Besides I am trying to prove to you that I 
 can answer a letter sooner than two years like the first one you 
 wrote to me. I'm just glad that some one has undertaken the time 
 and patience to carry on with the tradition of the Trowbridge 
 family history. I thank you fo.r working at at, for I have always 
 been proud that I am a descendant of the Trowbridge tamily. 
 I know it has been rewarding to yoii as you uncover more and more 
 about long lost relatives, even ones in your and my generation. 
 Keep up the good work and when some day you compile, in book form, 
 any so?t of I recent history, let me in on it if I may. flow me 
 ?o'pe?haps purchase some copies of ^-^^^f ' "f .^J^^^know 
 me but for my Children. At least I can tell them I dont know 
 
 ?qq 
 
where they are g^oing but I can show them where they came from. 
 
 It was mentioned that Ralph was into Lapidary work and 
 Silvercraft. I just happen to think that Rita has an Uncle, a 
 retired school teacher, who lives in Ohio near her Daddy that 
 does some T;apidary work as a hobby. He has made a lot of pretty 
 jewelry most of which he cut from his own stone collection of 
 which some are quiet rare and valuable. Rita has a few pieces 
 of jewelry he has made and given tvO her. Lapidary along with 
 Silver smithing, which T would suppose go hand in hand, are 
 surely fascinating hobbies. 
 
 A few days ago I was rummaging through some of my Mother's 
 old things and I ran across a couple of old poems I wrote and 
 sent to her many years ago. I thought I would send a copy of one 
 of them to you since it is along the line of these family hist- 
 ories we have been talking about. You can read it and toss it 
 out if you like. I don't, it has any real meaning to anyone 
 anymore. .<a*-]>y'^'«^ 
 
 Write to us any time you like and can find time. Tell us 
 more about yourselves and your family. 
 
 By the way, "Happy Birthday y belated, but none the less 
 Sincere. 
 
 Our best regards to all of you. 
 
 Love ,

 ARMY POST REPLICA — Centennial building at 
 Coleman represents main structure at old Camp Colo- 
 rado, established before the county was created 
 in 1858. 
 
 ty located south and east of Santa 
 Anna. 
 
 First comers were U. S. Army 
 personnel, Texas Rangers and 
 :attlemen, for the story of Cole- 
 nan County is closely associated 
 with the cattle industry. 
 Created in 1858. 
 The county v, as created by the 
 Legislature in 1858 from Brown 
 »nd Travis Counties and named 
 for Robert M. Coleman, who 
 lught in the battle of San Ja- 
 to. 
 
 lom in Kentucky, Coleman 
 
 le to Texas and served briefly 
 
 836 as captain oLa Texas 
 
 §cr coaipont. Lntrf he *as 
 
 pide to Gen. 6am Houston. 
 
 signed the Texas Declaration 
 
 ndependence and was a mem- 
 
 of the Texas constitutional 
 
 JCnvention. 
 
 The county was laid out in 
 1856 by a party of surveyors led 
 by J. E. McCord. 
 
 In 1855 and 1856 a few families 
 bad settled in the southeastern 
 edge of Coleman County and 
 from 1856 until 1861 enjoyed the 
 protection of the frontier fort of 
 Camp Colorado. The Army post 
 first was located six miles south 
 of the Colorado River, on the 
 road from Fort Belknap to Fort 
 Mason; but later was re-estab- 
 lished, within the county limits 
 on -Jim Ned Creek. 
 
 Rtplica of its administration 
 buildirig was erected in Coleman 
 City Park in 1936 by the Federal 
 and Texas Centennial Commis- 
 
 sions, the Works Progress Ad- 
 ministiation.flnd the City of Cole- 
 man. 
 
 Maj. Earl Van Dorn command- 
 ed the camp, which once was in- 
 spected by Robert E. Lee, when 
 the future commander in chief 
 of the Confederate Army was a 
 U. S. colonel stationed at Fort 
 Sam Houston. 
 
 Practical J«ker. 
 
 The county's first white settle- 
 ment became the town now 
 known as Trickham. It was a 
 stopover on John Chisum's cattle 
 trail to New Mexico, and Chisum 
 caUbUshad a £tqr$ there for his 
 trail drivers. 
 
 This store was operated by 
 E mnry PeiATt. G«orge Teague 
 and Bill Franks. 
 
 Franks was a practical joker 
 and because of his pranks the 
 community was known to cow- 
 hands as "Trick 'Em." One of 
 Franks' favorite trijcks was to 
 sell bottles of water to the cow- 
 boys for whisky. 
 
 Franks, who liked the name, 
 spelled it "Trickum" and Bsed 
 it in applying for a postoffice. 
 But postal authorities decided it 
 ought to be Trickham. 
 
 Chisum sold the store to L. L. 
 Shield, who operated it until it 
 was destroyed by fire in 1892. 
 
 Other early settlers around 
 Trickham were John, Enoch and 
 Dick Fiveash, Charlie Shield. Bud 
 Boles, Martin and Jim McElreath 
 and Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Bingnam. 
 
 Bingham is said to have rid- 
 den the first train from Missi- 
 
 P.\IR OF QUEENS— Ray 
 
 Kingsberry of Santa Anna, 
 rodeo queen, adjusts bon- 
 net of Mrs. Eula Cox Nor- 
 wood of ColBhian, named 
 queen of the Coleman 
 County centennial j 
 
 sippi to Fort Worth in 1876. His 
 daughter, Mrs. Beulah Kings- 
 ton. 78. still lives in Trickham. 
 A pioneer business man there 
 was M. R. Cheatham, a miller, 
 reputed to be the first to sell 
 flour in sacks, rather than bar- 
 rels. His sacks were labeled 
 "Trickham's Best." 
 
 Known for Chief. 
 
 Santa Anna, then known as 
 "The Gap," because of its loca- 
 tion between the two Santa Anna 
 mountains, may have been Cole- 
 man County's second trading post 
 Among its early settlers were 
 Duke Jackson, Lewis Taylor, 
 Henry H. Brown. W. J. and Tom 
 Crosby. Bill Brannan. Frank and 
 Miles Wofford and the Atterbury 
 and McGonagill families. 
 
 Oldtimers claim the mountains 
 were named for the Kiowa chief, 
 Sfltanta. c.-xi Ih-at the town wni 
 named for the peaks but the Post- 
 office Department, which seem- 
 ed always to pioneer orthography, 
 edited the name into its present 
 
 322 
 
form before granting it the privi- 
 lege of a postoffice. 
 
 Santa Anna went on a boom 
 early in 1886, when the Santa Fe 
 Railway reached that poinL 
 Many Trickhani settlers and busi- 
 ness men moved to Santa Anna 
 and the town moved out of the 
 gap south of the west mountain. 
 The Santa Anna News was es- 
 tablished by Con Rowland in 1886. 
 Successive o w n e r b included 
 Charlie Spann. Will Hubert, Aus- 
 tin CaDan and George Faulkner. 
 Faulkner sold it in 1920 to J. J. 
 Greggs, father of John C. Gregg, 
 its present publisher. 
 
 Coleman County was not or- 
 I ganized until 1876, but a tenta- 
 tive organization, with Camp 
 Colorado as county seat, was at- 
 tempted in 1867. First regular 
 county officers were: Judee J. F. 
 Miles, Clerk L. C. Williams, 
 Sheriff L. D. Greaves, Treasurer 
 S. S. Golson, Hide and Animal 
 Inspector W. B. grown. Tax As- 
 sessor Ed Lodge, Jusuce oi me 
 Peace M. M. Callan, who als« 
 was Coleman's first postmaster, 
 handling the mail at his home; 
 Surveyor R. S. Bowen and Com- 
 missioners Rich Coffej-, G. K. 
 Elkins, L. L. Shield and R. M. 
 JRucker. , , .. . 
 
 ! Surveyor McCord, who laid out 
 'the county, with E. A. Lindsay, 
 J. F. Gordon and F. M. and Dick 
 Boyen. laid out the Coleman cit? 
 townstte, patterning 9, alter "Aus- 
 tin's street plan. . ' 
 
 McCord, who came here from 
 Austin, later setUed on Home 
 j Creek, near Trickham. 
 I Oldest Business. 
 
 ' Part of the Coleman townsite 
 I was donated by R. J. Clow, a 
 veteran of the Texas revolution. 
 The courthouse and high school 
 were built on land he donated. 
 
 Coleman's first newspaper, the 
 Telegraph, was founded by W. 
 L Gibbs in 1877. but it did not 
 last long. The Voice was esUb- 
 lished by J- J- Callan in 1881 and 
 the Democrat by WiU'Hubert m 
 1887 They were merged in 1907 
 into' the Democrat-Voice, now 
 published by R. A. Autry and his 
 sons, Milton and Roy Jr. . 
 Possibly the city's oldest busi- 
 uess, sST is -'is cri!)Tial Joca- 
 uon7 is the saddle shop establish- 
 ed by W. P. Rascoe in 18T7. It 
 was bought by J. H. Nance in 
 1902 and is now owned and oper- 
 ated by his son, B. A. Nance. 
 
 The oldest natives of Coleman 
 County include Mrs. Zona Stacy, 
 80 of Trickham, and J. M. Elk- 
 ins. 79, and Press McCord of 
 Coleman. , , 
 
 Thousands of cattle moved 
 through Coleman County in the 
 trail days. 
 
 In addition to its place on the 
 old John Chisum trail, "Coleman 
 
 County lay astride the "new 
 western" or "Dodge trail." which 
 was blazed in the 1870s from 
 Brownsville via San Antonio and 
 Fort Mason to Dodge City, Kan. 
 It often was confused later with 
 the Jesse Chisholm Trail from 
 the Rio Grande to Abilene, Kan. 
 It has been claimed the west- 
 ern trail carried more cattle 
 north than the Chisholm trail did. 
 There's a marker on its on the 
 Coleman courthouse lawn, set up 
 in 1925 by the Daughters of the 
 American Revolution. 
 
 Driven Returned. 
 
 Two of the trail drivers return- 
 ed to Coleman County to estab- 
 lish ranches. J. P. Morris, after 
 four successful drives to Canada, 
 eventually acquired 60,000 or 
 more acres, still owned by his 
 family. .A daughter, Mrs. J. A. 
 B. Miller, 84, of Coleman, is a 
 business, civic and social lead- 
 er. Two other daughters are 
 Mrs. E. L. Knox of Burkett and 
 Mrs. Mary Dunman of Novice. 
 
 Day, a native of Missouri, was 
 the first to buy land in the coun- 
 ty, although it was then open 
 range. Leaday is located on land 
 for which he paid 45 perils an 
 acre. He is credited with build- 
 ing the first fence and starting 
 the first herd of Hereford cattle 
 in the county. .^^ 
 
 He fenced 7.500 acres in 1881 
 and called it the Red Wire Pas- 
 ture, because the fence was paint- 
 ed red. He was killed in a stam- 
 pede in 18S1 and his widow oper- 
 ated the ranch for many years. 
 
 Other pioneers were H R. 
 Starkweather, who fenced 40.000 
 acres: C. -M. Grady, Noah Arm- 
 strong, John Banister, W. B. Bev- 
 ins, CoL R. H. Overall, who set- 
 tled on a 30,000-acre spread 
 south of Coleman; C. E. Jones, 
 Henry Sackett, the Coffeys, Per- 
 kinses, Closes, Coulsons and John 
 Watts. 
 
 Bit of Coleman history is con- 
 tributed by the town of Whon, 
 south of Trickham. It was 
 named for a Mexican named 
 Juan who worked on the farm of 
 John McCain. When a postof- 
 fice was applied for by Mrs. Sam 
 McCain in 1903, she spelled Juan's 
 narpe Whon, because that -was 
 the wav it sounded to her. For 
 once, postal authorities let the 
 name stand.- 
 
 As a part of the centennial pro- 
 gram, the Coleman County Rodeo 
 issociation, of which Rob Hair 
 I» president, scheduled its 21 st 
 annual show here for July 9-12. 
 There will be a paraoe at S p m. 
 July 10. which will be led by Gov- 
 ernor Daniel, the centennial 
 queen. Mrs. Norwood, and the 
 rodeo queen. Kay K^gsben;. 
 daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. b. 
 
 KingsDery of Santa Anna.
