Doris Rogers rogdrcr@gte.net July 1999 shows on ODC that his death dateis March 12, 1918.
R. E. Bob Fariss, the Goliad Library Cemetery Book, and the GoliadHistory Book all three say birthdate is January 1, 1824. Earlier Ihad June 1, 1824 as his birthdate, but my source is now forgotten.
He is in the 1850 Washington county census.
He is age 56 born TN in the 1880 Goliad County soundex=1824.
He is age 76, born TN January 1824, in the 1900 Goliad Countysoundex.
* * * * * ** * * The origin of the name Maximilian Buchanan:
From "The Bumpas Family from Person County NC", 1972, page 54: "Thefollowing references to the Bumpass pioneers are taken from A HISTORY OFLAUDERDALE COUNTY ALABAMA by Jill K. Garrett.
"Gov. William Wyatt Bill of the Alabama Territory made his firstappointments in Lauderdale County in February of 1818. James Bumpas wasappointed Justice of the Peace of the county court.
"As early as 1808, there was another road leading to Lauderdale knownas Muscle Shoals Road, mentioned in Maury County Court Minutes for thatyear. Also in that year, the same county court appointed a commissionto view, mark, and lay out a road to cross Elk River, in the mosteligible way, to the head of the Muscle Shoals. One of thesecommissioners was Gabriel Bumpass, to be later identified with theWaterloo settlement. This latter road presumably let to Fort Hampton.
"The town of Waterloo was laid off in 1819. A stock company, with 51original shareholders, was formed and the trustees for this companywere: Tyree Rodes, Maximilian H. Buchanan, German Lester, JohnMcCracken, and Gabriel Bumpass. These men were from Giles County TN andhad been associated together in other land transactions in that state."
* * * * ** * * Maximillian was 12 when his father died in 1836. In her book "TheStory of the Bumpas Family," Mootie Clemmons Cherry states that UncleMack accompanied his aunt Harriet Bumpas and her husband Hugh McIntyreto Texas December 27, 1839.
Source 1: Henrietta divorced Mack in 1855, says Charles R. ChuckRogers 5218 South 144th St Tukwila WA 98168 206-243-2023rogdrcr@gte.net in a personal letter to ABA June 14, 1999.Henrietta then married the great-frandfather of Chuck before 1858.
Source2: Did Mack divorce Henrietta about 1858? Henrietta had aboy by J. Y. Rodgers about 1859.
John Boyd and J.J.Ratliff (Siddie's half-brother?) were present at thewedding April 25, 1858. Apparently her mother Jane had died before the1858 wedding.
In his package of February 1998, James Evan Stockton submits a fullpage of Mack's land transactions, 1862 to 1903, "page 15" of theforthcoming book.
From "The History and Heritage of Goliad County," 388 pages, in theKenedy City Library, compiled by Goliad County Historical Commission,edited and written by Jakie L. Pruett and Everett B. Cole, 1983, EakinPubl. Inc., Box 23066, Austin 78735 :
"Emily Bumpas Stockton kept a tavern, situated on the road betweenAustin and Houston. Records show that Sam Houston and his daughterMaggie were among the prominent people who spent the night there whengoing between the two cities.
"Emily Bumpas Stockton died in Bell County on December 13, 1882 andis buried in the cemetery at Salado.
"Her son Mack and and his wife Siddie moved from the Lee County areato Charco in Goliad County in the 1880's." (ArchieNote: Mack andSiddie were married at Clinton in DeWitt county in 1858, so they movedfrom Lee county earlier than the 1880's. The family is in Karnes Countyin the 1860 Census, and is in Goliad County in the 1880 Census. Theirfirst four children were probably born in Karnes county, and the othersin Goliad county.)
(ArchieNote: M.B.Stockton's sister Sarah Elizabeth Stockton marriedJames Austin Clemmons, and they moved from the Giddings area to Charco.J. A. Clemmons died in Charco in 1896. There is no Clemmons in the 1860Goliad Census.)
" Some of the descendants of their 13 Stockton children still live inthe Charco area in 1983.
"The 'old home place' of M. B. Stockton is no longer standing, butthe site is marked. The Stockton cemetery on the San Antonio River isstill used by families of Charco.
"Of the third generation of Stocktons in Goliad County, only MaudeStockton Wallace remains a resident in 1983. Evidence of other Stocktondescendants in the Charco community is found in church, school, and landrecords.
"Aunt Maude, in her 80's in 1983, recalls when her fatherD.H.Stockton 1861-1923 and her Uncle Maximilian 1867-1932 built a cottongin in Charco. Later, her brothers Walter and Edward ran a cotton gin,grocery store, and meat market. At that time, Charco was a thrivingcommunity with board sidewalks. Her brother Keith ran a grocery storeand service station at the crossroads until the late 1950's. Hergrandparents were charter members of the Charco Baptist Church.(ArchieNote: She is Leona Maude Stockton 1896- , daughter of DouglasHayden Stockton 1861-1923, and granddaughter of M.B.Stockton 1824-1908.)
From page 52: "Charco at one time had 3 general merchandise stores,2 blacksmith shops, 2 garages, 2 barber shops, a confectionery, a dressshop, a millinery, a cafe, 2 meat markets, a bread shop, a grist mill,and 2 cotton gins.
"Of the fourth generation, Wayne Stockton is the only Stockton whoactually makes his home in Charco. He is the son of Walter A.Stockton.
"William K. Stockton, Frank M. Stockton and their sister SelinaStockton Carpenter still run cattle in the Charco area. Their fatherwas Frank Stockton. Their mother Mabel Callaway Stockton Davis is theonly living member of the generation of M. B. Stockton's children.(ArchieNote: Mabel married Frank Allen Stockton 1884-1939, son of M.B.and Sydie.)
"Hugh Stockton Jr., Sue Mae Stockton Garrett and Annie KatherineStockton Noreika own acreage in the area. They are the children of HughS. Stockton Sr. and Annie Callaway Stockton.
"William Edward Stockton's son Lincoln lived in Charco, and his foursons still maintain property in the Charco community. They are fifthgeneration landholders there.
"Keith Stockton heirs John Kenneth Stockton and Dorothy StocktonChamberlain have ranch interests in the Charco area.
"The Stockton descendants still hold annual reunions in GoliadCounty."
