Census of 1890. The Eleventh United States Census. Census of 1890 mostly destroyed by fire and water damage in 1921, Department of Commerce, Washinton, D.C. In December 1932, following standard Federal record-keeping procedures, the Chief Clerk of the Bureau of the Census sent the Librarian of Congress a list of papers to be destroyed, including the original 1890 census schedules. The Librarian was asked by the Bureau to identify any records which should be retained for historical purposes, but the Librarian did not accept the census records. Congress authorized destruction of that list of records on February 21, 1933, and the surviving original 1890 census records were destroyed by government order by 1934 or 1935. Robert Percival Porter was Superintendent of the Census on Census Day, June 2, 1890. Note: Some statistical data for 1890 Census available from the U. S. Census Bureau.

Addendum: 3. (Wilson County, Tennessee formed from Sumner County in 1799; The county Seat of Government is Lebanon, Tennessee.)
Addendum: 4. (Jackson County, Alabama was created by the Alabama Legislature Dec. 13, 1819 from land acquired from the Cherokee Indians. the county was named in honor of General Andrew Jackson. the act establishing Jackson County designated Sauta Cave as a temporary seat of justice. Bellefont was the county seat from 1821 until 1859, at which time it was transferred to Scotsboro, which was named for Robert T. Scott, an early settler from North Carolina. Reference.: History of Alabama..............., Thomas M. Owen, S.J. Clark Publishing, 1921.)
Addendum: 5. (Hunt County, Texas was formed from Fannin and Nacogdoches Counties by the first legislature of Texas in 1846. The official act to create Hunt County was signed April 11, 1846. The county was named for Memuchan Hunt, the First Minister from Texas to the United States of America. Greenville is the County Seat of Government of Hunt County and is named for Thomas Jefferson Green who was Second in Command of the Meir Expedition. In October 1880 the first railroad { East Line And Red River } came to Greenville; in 1881 the Missouri, Kansas and Texas { M. K. & T } extended its line from Mineola, Texas to Greenville, Texas. Cotton was the "wealth" of Hunt County until the middle of the 1930's.)
Joseph Henry Scarborough lived through the times of the American Civil War, 1861 - 1865, although no record of his participation in the war exists. It is possible, that he wisely ignored the conflict.

An Ordinance to dissolve the union between the State of Alabama and the other States united under the compact styled "The Constitution of the United States of America" Whereas, the election of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin to the offices of president and vice -president of the United States of America, by a sectional party, avowedly hostile to the domestic institutions and to the peace and security of the people of the State of Alabama, preceded by many and dangerous infractions of the constitution of the United States by many of the States and people of the Northern section, is a political wrong of so insulting and menacing a character as to justify the people of the State of Alabama in the adoption of prompt and decided measures for their future peace and security, therefore: Be it declared and ordained by the people of the State of Alabama, in Convention assembled, That the State of Alabama now withdraws, and is hereby withdrawn from the Union known as "the United States of America," and henceforth ceases to be one of said United States, and is, and of right ought to be a Sovereign and Independent State. Sec 2. Be it further declared and ordained by the people of the State of Alabama in Convention assembled, That all powers over the Territory of said State, and over the people thereof, heretofore delegated to the Government of the United States of America, be and they are hereby withdrawn from said Government, and are hereby resumed and vested in the people of the State of Alabama. And as it is the desire and purpose of the people of Alabama to meet the slaveholding States of the South, who may approve such purpose, in order to frame a provisional as well as permanent Government upon the principles of the Constitution of the United States, Be it resolved by the people of Alabama in Convention assembled, That the people of the States of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri, be and are hereby invited to meet the people of the State of Alabama, by their Delegates, in Convention, on the 4th day of February, A.D., 1861, at the city of Montgomery, in the State of Alabama, for the purpose of consulting with each other as to the most effectual mode of securing concerted and harmonious action in whatever measures may be deemed most desirable for our common peace and security. And be it further resolved, That the President of this Convention, be and is hereby instructed to transmit forthwith a copy of the foregoing Preamble, Ordinance, and Resolutions to the Governors of the several States named in said resolutions. Done by the people of the State of Alabama, in Convention assembled, at Montgomery, on this, the eleventh day of January, A.D. 1861. In 1899, the Confederate Publishing Company issued a series of books collectively known as Confederate Military History, edited by former Confederate General Clement Evans. For over one -hundred years, this series has been an invaluable source for anyone researching the American Civil War, especially individual state and regimental histories. However, the series is hard to use because individual volumes have no index and the general index for the entire series if woefully shallow. In addition, neither the series nor any individual volume has been reprinted or republished since 1899. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TEXAS Entered the Union -- December 29, 1845. Seceded from the Union -- February 1, 1861.
TEXAS ORDINANCE OF SECESSION
A Declaration of the Causes which Impel the State of Texas to Secede from the Federal Union The government of the United States, by certain joint resolutions, bearing Date the 1st day of March, in the year A. D. 1845, proposed to the Republic of Texas, then a free, sovereign and independent nation, the annexation of the latter to the former, as one of the co- equal States thereof, The people of Texas, by deputies in convention assembled, on the fourth day of July of the same year, assented to and accepted said proposals and formed a constitution for the proposed State, upon which on the 29th day of December in the same year, said State was formally admitted into the Confederated Union. Texas abandoned her separate national existence and consented to become one of the Confederated States to promote her welfare, insure domestic tranquility and secure more substantially the blessings of peace and liberty to her people. She was received into the confederacy with her own constitution under the guarantee of the federal constitution and the compact of annexation, that she should enjoy these blessings. She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as Negro slavery--the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits--a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time. Her institutions and geographical have been strengthened by association. But what has been the course of the government of the United States, and of the people and authorities of the non-slave-holding States, since our connection with them? The controlling majority of the Federal Government, under various pretenses and disguises, has so administered the same as to exclude the citizens of the Southern States, unless under odious and unconstitutional restrictions, from all the immense territory owned in common by all the States on the Pacific Ocean, for the avowed purpose of acquiring sufficient power in the common government to use it as a means of destroying the institutions of Texas and her sister slaveholding States. By the disloyalty of the Northern States and their citizens and the imbecility of the Federal Government, infamous combinations of incendiaries and outlaws have been permitted in those States and the common territory of Kansas to trample upon the federal laws, to war upon the lives and property of Southern citizens in that territory, and finally, by violence and mob law to usurp the possession of the same as exclusively the property of the Northern States. The Federal Government, while but partially under the control of these our unnatural and sectional enemies, has for years almost entirely failed to protect the lives and property of the people of Texas against the Indian savages on our border, and more recently against the murderous forays of bandits from the neighboring territory of Mexico; and when our State government has expended large amounts for such purpose, the Federal Government has refused reimbursement therefore, thus rendering our condition more insecure and harassing than it was during the existence of the Republic of Texas. These and other wrongs we have patiently borne in the vain hope that a returning sense of justice and humanity would induce a different course of administration. When we advert to the course of individual non-slave-holding States, and that a majority of their citizens, our grievances assume far greater magnitude. The States of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa, by solemn legislative enactments, have deliberately, directly or indirectly violated the 3rd clause of the 2nd section of the 4th article of the federal constitution, and laws passed in pursuance thereof; thereby annulling a material provision of the compact, designed by its framers to perpetuate amity between the members of the confederacy and to secure the rights of the slaveholding States in their domestic institutions--a provision founded in justice and wisdom, and without the enforcement of which the compact fails to accomplish the object of its creation. Some of those States have imposed high fines and degrading penalties upon any of their citizens or officers who may carry out in good faith that provision of the compact, or the federal laws enacted in accordance therewith. In all the non-slave-holding States, in violation of that good faith and comity which should exist between entirely distinct nations, the people have formed themselves into a great sectional party, now strong enough in numbers to control the affairs of each of those States, based upon the unnatural feeling of hostility to these Southern States and their beneficent and patriarchal system of African slavery, proclaiming the debasing doctrine of the equality of all men, irrespective of race or color--a doctrine at war with nature, in opposition to the experience of mankind, and in violation of the plainest revelations of the Divine Law. They demand the abolition of Negro slavery throughout the confederacy, the recognition of political equality between the white and the Negro races, and avow their determination to press on their crusade against us, so long as a Negro slave remains in these States. For years past this abolition organization has been actively sowing the seeds of discord through the Union, and has rendered the federal congress the arena for spreading firebrands and hatred between the slaveholding and non-slave-holding States. By consolidating their strength, they hare placed the slaveholding States in a hopeless minority in the federal congress, and rendered representation of no avail in protecting Southern rights against their exactions and encroachments. They have proclaimed, and at the ballot box sustained, the revolutionary doctrine that there is a "higher law" than the constitution and laws of our Federal Union, and virtually that they will disregard their oaths and trample upon our rights. They have for years past encouraged and sustained lawless organizations to steal our slaves and prevent their recapture, and have repeatedly murdered Southern citizens while lawfully seeking their rendition. They have invaded Southern soil and murdered unoffending citizens, and through the press their leading men and a fanatical pulpit have bestowed praise upon the actors and assassins in these crimes, while the governors of several of their States have refused to deliver parties implicated and indicted for participation in such offences, upon the legal demands of the States aggrieved. They have, through the mails and hired emissaries, sent seditious pamphlets and papers among us to stir up servile insurrection and bring blood and carnage to our firesides. They have sent hired emissaries among us to burn our towns and distribute arms and poison to our slaves for the same purpose. They have impoverished the slaveholding States by unequal and partial legislation, thereby enriching themselves by draining our substance. They have refused to vote appropriations for protecting Texas against ruthless savages, for the sole reason that she is a slaveholding State. And, finally, by the combined sectional vote of the seventeen non-slave-holding States, they have elected as president and vice -president of the whole confederacy two men whose chief claims to such high positions are their approval of these long continued wrongs, and their pledges to continue them to the final consummation of these schemes for the ruin of the slaveholding States. In view of these and many other facts, it is meet that our own views should be distinctly proclaimed. We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable. That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both the desolation upon the fifteen slaveholding States. By the secession of six of the slaveholding States, and the certainty that others will speedily do likewise, Texas has no alternative but to remain in an isolated connection with the North, or unite her destinies with the South. For these and other reasons, solemnly asserting that the federal constitution has been violated and virtually abrogated by the several States named, seeing that the federal government is now passing under the control of our enemies to be diverted from the exalted objects of its creation to those of oppression and wrong, and realizing that our own State can no longer look for protection, but to God and her own sons - We the delegates of the people of Texas, in Convention assembled, have passed an ordinance dissolving all political connection with the government of the United States of America and the people thereof and confidently appeal to the intelligence and patriotism of the freeman of Texas to ratify the same at the ballot box, on the 23rd day of the present month. In 1899, the Confederate Publishing Company issued a series of books collectively known as Confederate Military History, edited by former Confederate General Clement Evans. For over one -hundred years, this series has been an invaluable source for anyone researching the American Civil War, especially individual state and regimental histories. However, the series is hard to use because individual volumes have no index and the general index for the entire series if woefully shallow. In addition, neither the series nor any individual volume has been reprinted or republished since 1899. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miscellaneous

Dear Albert: Well, ACLS is over thank goodness. I am an RN and I have to be certified in the provision of Critical Care. This time of doing ACLS is always a provision of great stress. Now I can get back to my favorite thing
Genealogy. I am attaching a Land Patent file for Joseph Scarbrough in Alabama. There are 2 of them One Date d the 1�Csup�Dst�C/sup�D of October, 1835, and the other is Date d the 21�Csup�Dst�C/sup�D of October, 1834. I have not sent for the whole Land patent file yet, but hopefully some additional information may be gleaned from it. I have sent for other Land patent files for other ancestors and have found some information. I am sending the War of 1812 file for Sterling Scarbrough. These files will be done in separate files so that I don't bog down your server. Anita
