From a book hopefully in the D.A.R. Library in

Washington, D.C. but stamped “Public Library

Dallas, Texas June 3, 1954. transcribed from

copies of the original pps. 331-335 Sue Ellen

Marable 2003.

From an account in There Was A Land History of

Talbot, County

“Among the early settlers in the town of Talbotton

was George W. Towns. He was appointed one of the

commissioners for the town of Talbotton when it was

incorporated by act of the General Assembly in

1828. George Washing Towns was born in Wilkes

County, Georgia, May 4, 1801. His father John

Towns, was a native of Virginia and Revolutionary

soldier. The Towns family moved from Wilkes County

to Greene County and thence to Morgan County, where

John Towns died. However, John Towns was a

resident of Talbot County at the time as his will is

probated here. “ *not a resident….his son & wife

were residents….

“Govenor Towns commenced the study of medicine under

Dr. Branham of Eatonton, but soon thereafter was

thrown from a horse and gravely injured. He gave

uup the thought of medicine and went to Montgomery,

Alabama at the age of 20 where he read law under

Mr. Benson, a prominent lawyer there.

About that time he married a Miss Campbell, who

died a few days after the marriage. He speculated

with some success in town lots in Montgomery and for

a brief period was in the mercantile business in

Talbotton. He became colonel of militia in Talbot

Count. Upon entering the practice of law in

Talbotton, he became highly popular. In 1829 he

was elected Representative from Talbot County..re-

elected in 1830 and went to the Senate in 1832.

In 1835 he was elected a member of the 24th Congress

as a Union Democrat serving from December 7, 1835 to

September 1, 1836 when he resigned. He was elected

to the 25th Congress in 1835 and served the full

term.

He then returned to practice of his profession in

Talbotton until Washington Poe resigned his seat in

the 29th Congress. Governor Towns was elect3d to

this vacancy, taking his seat January 27, 1847 and

serving the remainder of the term. He was defeated

for re-election by John W. Jones.

THOMAS FLEWELLEN

Thomas Flewellen, son of Archelaus and Nancy Flewellen, was born 29

March 1799. He married Francis Maria Drake, daughter of Dr. John Hodges Drake

and Frances Williams, on 15 September 1823 in Warren County, Georgia. Frances

Williams, mother of Maria Drake, was the sister of Elizabeth Williams, wife of

Shadrack Flewellen. In addition, Dr. John Calvin Drake, brother of Maria,

married Mary Ann Flewellen, who was the youngest sister of Thomas Flewellen.

Thomas and Maria Flewellen moved to Upson County, Georgia, in 1825 and had

eleven children. Two of the children, Nicholas John Hodges and Charles B. died

in infancy. The remaining children were Frances Carolina, Thomas Archelaus,

Eugenia Louisiana, Mary Martha, Sarah Cebell, Elizabeth Virginia, Enos Russell

William, Wilbur Fisk, and Joseph John Calvin Drake. The first deed to Thomas

Flewellen in Upson County was 25 Nov 1825 and covered Lots 80 and 81 of the

10th District. A few years later he bought Lots 82, 90 and 91 of District 10D

and kept these lands until 1849. At that time he sold this property and bought

1012.5 acres, being Lots 145, 146, 160, 161 and 162 of the 10th District from

the Estate of Kinchen P. Thweatt. He kept these lands until 9 Jan 1854.

Thomas Flewellen was the sheriff of Upson County from 1828 to 1830 and a

representative from that county in 1832 and 1833. He was state senator in 1851

and 1852 and a Justice of the Inferior Court from 1853 to 1854. In the spring

of 1854, Thomas moved to Camden, Arkansas, accompanied by most of his family.

The conditions in Arkansas were not very good and Thomas left the next year for

Smith County, Texas, where he had been promised some land. At this time,

Thomas had sent his wife, Maria, and some of the younger children back to

Thomaston, Georgia, until they got the place in Texas ready. Thomas Flewellen

was a lay Methodist preacher and there is a story that back in Thomaston, the

other preachers liked to meet at his home because he made the best wine. One

day he bought a piano and after that several of the preachers refused to enter

his house because of the presence of the piano. There is a later story in the

Dallas Herald of 29 January 1862, where the editor tells of a trip to Marshall

and staying with Mr. Flewellen enroute where they enjoyed great hospitality and

homemade wine of Warrenton grapes. Family letters show that their life in

Texas was far more difficult from that in Georgia. In 1869, Thomas mentions in

a letter that he was thinking of moving to Honduras. Frances Cary, daughter of

Thomas and Maria Flewellen, stated that her father read almost incessantly.

Maria Drake Flewellen died 21 October 1861 and Thomas Flewellen died at the age

of 91 on 13 November 1889. They are both buried in the Flewellen-Thweatt

Cemetery near Lindale in Smith County, Texas.

JAMES FLEWELLEN

James Flewellen, son of Archelaus and Nancy Flewellen, was born 27 Sep

1796. He married Elizabeth Persons on 19 November 1818 in Warren County,

Georgia. She was the daughter of Thomas Turner Persons and Sally Williams (who

was the sister of Frances and Elizabeth Williams). The children of James and

Elizabeth Flewellen were Edward Archelaus, Robert Turner, James Persons and

Sarah Anne. James Flewellen first appears in 1820 in the census of Warren

County, Georgia. In 1821 James moved to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where Robert was

born. They moved back to Georgia, near Macon, in 1829. A newspaper account

states that James Flewellen, age 31, died 18 November 1829 at Macon and that he

was wounded at Warrior Plantation in a fight with a man named Cohorn. One

article states that the widow and her children then moved to Culloden in Monroe

County, Georgia, but the 1840 census shows her living in adjacent Upson

County. On 8 Oct 1845 Elizabeth Flewellen sold 4 acres in Culloden to George

W. Persons. The 1850 census shows Elizabeth in Monroe County. Prior to the

Civil War, Robert Turner Flewellen and James Persons Flewellen both moved to

Texas and Elizabeth moved with them to Independence in Washington County,

Texas. She died there 31 May 1886.

CEBELL FLEWELLEN

Cebell Flewellen, daughter of Archelaus and Nancy Flewellen, was born

18 May 1801. She married Thomas Persons on 15 July 1819 in Warren County,

Georgia. They had one son, Thomas Flewellen Persons. Cebell died 4 Jul1820.

MARTHA ANN FLEWELLEN

Martha Ann Flewellen, daughter of Archelaus and Nancy Flewellen, was

born 3 November 1805. She married John William Persons on 25 November 1823 in

Warren County, Georgia. They had four children, John, Augustus, Anna Elizabeth

and Amanda Melvina. This last child died at about the age of six. John

William Persons was the son of Thomas Turner Persons and Sallie Williams.

Martha Ann died 10 December 1805 in Culloden, Monroe County, Georgia.

ENOS RUSSELL FLEWELLEN

Enos Russell Flewellen, son of Archelaus and Nancy Flewellen, was born

13 May 1810. He married Susan W. Jones on 15 October 1829 in Upson County,

Georgia. They had eleven children, being Enos Archelaus, Junius, George,

Charles, Martha E., James Randall, Mary Antoinette, Georgia, Susan Zuleika,

William Jones and Mollie. The eldest child, Enos Archelaus, died at the age of

three, Charles died at about fourteen, and Junius died at the age of twenty.

Enos R. Flewellen and his wife are shown living in Upson County in 1830, but by

1840 he had moved his family to Crawford County, Georgia. By 1850 he had moved

to Barbour County, Alabama, where he remained until late in life, when he moved

to adjacent Russell County, Alabama, where he died on 1 September 1884 at the

home of his daughter, Georgia Mitchell. Susan Jones Flewellen had died 3 July

1877. Both Enos R. Flewellen and his wife are buried in Linwood Cemetery at

Columbus, Georgia.

MARY ANN FLEWELLEN

Mary Ann Flewellen, daughter of Archelaus and Nancy Flewellen, was born

25 November 1820 in Warren County, Georgia. Since she was only three when her

father died and seven when her mother died, she probably was living with a

brother or sister in Upson or Monroe Counties until her marriage. On 3 April

1839 in Culloden, Monroe County, Georgia, she married Dr. John Calvin Drake,

son of Dr. John Hodges Drake and Frances Williams. Frances Maria Drake, sister

of Dr. John Calvin Drake, had married Thomas Flewellen, brother of Mary Ann

Flewellen. Mary Ann and John Calvin Drake moved to Thomaston in Upson County,

Georgia. They had twelve children, Nicholas John, Thomas Russell, Mary

Frances, John William Calvin, James Hodges, Martha Ann Flewellen, Mary Louisa,

Caroline Cebell, Archelaus Augusta, Edward Albert, Flewellen Lee, and Ida

Evelyn. In their later years Mary Ann and John Calvin Drake suffered both

physical and financial problems. In 1869, Mary Ann had written her niece,

Frances Cary, that she was in ill health and her husband was very feeble,

weighed only 108 pounds and had trouble walking about the yard. He must have

recovered because in 1880, Mary Ann described how he was engaged incessantly

attending the sick in Thomaston during a measles epidemic. A letter in 1897

from Edward A. Flewellen states that he went to see them and "It is a sad place

to visit for the doctor has been paralyzed for several years. Is almost

helpless and can't talk so as to be understood, and it is with great difficulty

that he can eat anything without being strangled. My aunt Mary Ann, has become

partially blind. Can't read nor write, but can see enough to get about the

house and attend to her domestic matters after a fashion. It is hard times

with them, too, and I am afraid it will be worse." They had both been in ill

health for some time. Mary Ann died 27 April 1902 in Thomaston, her husband

having died 8 April 1898.

CHILDREN OF THOMAS FLEWELLEN AND FRANCES M. DRAKE

THOMAS ARCHELAUS FLEWELLEN

Thomas Archelaus Flewellen, the eldest son of Thomas and Maria

Flewellen, was born in Upson County, Georgia, on 27 February 1829. In a letter

dated 3 March 1852, from his mother to his oldest sister, Frances Cary, it is

stated that he had just returned from a trip as clerk on a steamboat. This

would have been just prior to his marriage on 17 October 1852 to Victoria

Monroe Thweatt in Upson County, Georgia. Victoria's two brothers, Kinchen and

James, married two sisters of T. A. Flewellen (Eugenia Louisiana and Elizabeth

Virginia). T. A. and Victoria Flewellen had three children, Junius Jefferson,

Eliza Harris and Maria Antoinette. T. A. Flewellen accompanied his father in

the family's move to Camden, Arkansas, in 1854 and again the next year when

they moved to Smith County, Texas. During the Civil War, T.A. was a private in

Company D, 13th Texas Volunteer Cavalry. Victoria Flewellen died 5 June 1868

and is buried in the Flewellen-Thweatt Cemetery near Lindale, Texas. The

Dallas Herald noted in February, 1870 that T.A. Flewellen was one of the

managers for the Tyler area of the Piedmont Arlington Life Insurance Company.

On 19 July 1870, T.A. married Henrietta (Hettie) Marshall in Rusk County,

Texas. Shortly thereafter he moved his family to Longview, Texas. T.A. and

Hettie had one child, Mattie (7 4). In 1878 1879 he was the Mayor of

Longview. T.A. Flewellen died 17 June 1893 and is buried in Greenwood Cemetery

in Longview. His widow, Hettie, continued to live at their home at 206 South

Center Street in Longview until her death in 1916.

FRANCES CAROLINA FLEWELLEN

Frances Carolina Flewellen, daughter of Thomas and Maria Flewellen, was

born 29 September 1824. Within the family she was referred to as "Big Sis".

She refers to entering her first school while the family was living at

the "Butte place" near the Upson camp ground. Sometime after 1834 she was sent

to live with the family of her uncle Russell Flewellen at Culloden in Monroe

County to attend school for a couple of years. After her family moved into

Thomaston, she went to school there and then was sent to the Georgia Female

College at Macon. The year before, about 1838, Thomas Flewellen took his

family to North Carolina to visit his in laws, staying a month or two. From

there Frances took a trip of a couple of weeks to Philadelphia with her father,

her uncle Calvin Drake and her aunt Louisa Drake. Her father considered

leaving her in school in Philadelphia to which she was opposed. On this trip,

Thomas Flewellen and Calvin Drake went on to New York. Prior to going north,

Thomas Flewellen had tried to get Frances into school at Salem, N.C. but was

unsuccessful. Frances also described a trip she made with her uncle Calvin

Drake by ship from Charleston, S.C. to Wilmington, N.C. It seems everyone got

seasick. Upon arriving at Wilmington, she described how they rode on a

railroad where the coaches where drawn by horses or mules and the men had to

sit on top. Frances never finished her education and married when she was 16.

She married a lawyer, John J. Cary, on 3 September 1840 in Upson County,

Georgia. At first they lived in Thomaston, and sometime after 1850 moved to

Macon. Between 1856 and 1857, Frances Cary and her family moved to Texas,

eventually settling in Rusk County. Frances and John Cary had five children,

Sarah Alice, Frances, Ada, Georgia and Mary Eugenia. Fannie died at age 16 in

1861 and Georgia died at age 3. A letter in 1859 to Fannie Cary refers to her

sisters Sarah, Ada and the "babe". Another letter in 1869 to Frances refers to

Sallie, Ada, Mary Eugenia and the little one. John Cary was evidently much

involved in politics, which Frances described as "the bane of my life". Once a

man took offense to something John Cary said and told him if he opened his

mouth again he would kill him. John Cary opened his mouth as wide as possible

and the fellow stabbed him. Fortunately the wound was not fatal. While living

in Texas he got into a political scrape and got clubbed over the head,

resulting in a fractured skull. He died around 1871 and sometime after that

Frances moved to Smith County to live with her father. After his death,

Frances moved to Mineola to live with her daughter, Sarah, and her family.

Frances Cary died 14 May 1906 in Mineola, Wood County, Texas, and is buried in

the Mineola City Cemetery.

EUGENIA LOUISIANA FLEWELLEN

Eugenia L. Flewellen, daughter of Thomas and Maria Flewellen, was born

15 March 1832. She married Kinchen P. Thweatt 27 April 1852. From a letter

written by her mother, it sounds as though the couple elected to take a $100

gift from her father instead of a big wedding. After their marriage, Eugenia

and Kinchen Thweatt moved with the family to Arkansas and on to Texas. They

had no surviving children but did have one child in 1854 that died in infancy.

Eugenia died 12 October 1863 and her husband died 4 December 1876. Both are

buried in the Flewellen-Thweatt Cemetery near Lindale in Smith County, Texas.

MARY MARTHA FLEWELLEN

Mary Martha Flewellen (Mollie), daughter of Thomas and Maria Flewellen,

was born 14 June 1834 in Upson County, Georgia. She accompanied the family in

their move to Camden, Arkansas, which is probably where she married her

husband, Ezra Nathaniel Hill. On 3 March 1855, Eugenia Thweatt, sister of

Martha, wrote to their mother in Georgia and asked whether Mollie "went on to

Georgia or was in Camden". She lived for a time in Arkansas as shown by

letters between Mollie and her husband. Her first child, Minnie (or Mariah)

was born 21 October 1855 in Arkansas. A letter dated 29 Nov 1857, shows Nat

Hill in Austin and his wife probably in Camden. In February of 1859 Mollie and

Nat Hill were living in Galveston. During the Civil War, Mollie apparently

moved back to Texas with her family. A second child, Henry Flewellen Hill, was

born 4 March 1864, but died 26 August 1873. It is unclear what happened to

Ezra Nat Hill. In 1860, 1870 and 1880, Mary Hill was shown as living with her

father in Smith County, Texas. Minnie Hill married Columbus L. Copeland on 18

Dec 1878 and in 1900 and 1910, Mary Martha Hill is shown living with her

daughter and her family. Mary Martha Hill died 7 August 1919 and is buried in

the Flewellen-Thweatt Cemetery near Lindale in Smith County, Texas.

SARAH CEBELL FLEWELLEN

Sarah Cebell Flewellen (Belle), daughter of Thomas and Maria Flewellen,

was born 24 November 1836. She married John C. Fowler on 14 October 1858 in

Smith County, Texas. Belle and John C. Fowler had two children, Wilbur F. (12

Dec 1862 - 1 May 1901) and John Coleman (23 Jul 1859 - 28 Jul 1922). Belle

died October 1864 and is buried in the Flewellen-Thweatt Cemetery near Lindale

in Smith County, Texas. John C. Fowler and his sons, Coleman and Wilbur moved

to Panola County, Miss. and are buried in the Eureka Cemetery there.

ELIZABETH VIRGINIA FLEWELLEN

Elizabeth Virginia Flewellen, daughter of Thomas and Maria Flewellen,

was born 26 Dec 1826. Within the family she was known as "Little Sis". On 12

December 1849 she married James Thweatt in Upson County, Georgia. James

Thweatt was a farmer, but in the 1880 census he lists his occupation

as "fishing". Virginia and James Thweatt had five children, Thomas Flewellen,

Mary Eliza Frances, Maria Louisa Victoria, William Arnold and Mattie Bell. The

last two died in infancy. Elizabeth Virginia Thweatt died 20 December 1888 and

her husband, James, died 13 May 1892. Both are buried in the Flewellen-Thweatt

Cemetery near Lindale in Smith County, Texas.

ENOS RUSSELL WILLIAM FLEWELLEN

Enos Russell William Flewellen, son of Thomas and Maria Flewellen, was

born 26 September 1840. In March of 1855, Russell was in Texas with his father

helping to get their place ready, but by July he apparently had been sent off

to school. In 1860 he was living back in Smith County, Texas, with his

parents. When the Civil War began, he was a student at Emory College at

Oxford, Georgia. His father was in Georgia on a visit at the time and wanted

Russell to finish school, but finally gave in and allowed him to join the

army. He enlisted July 1861 in Co. F, 12th Alabama Infantry. According to his

sister, Frances Cary, he was in the Seven Days battle around Richmond. After

the war, Russell returned home. A letter dated 23 December 1866 from Victoria

Flewellen, his sister in law, talks about Russell planning to leave for New

Orleans. According to the letter he left on horseback with one suit of clothes

in his saddle bags and told his brother, Willie that he was going to Mexico and

never expected to return. After starting he changed plans and left the horse

in Tyler and took the stage to Marshall and from there proceeded to New

Orleans. Victoria stated that her husband, Thomas, expected that Russell would

return that night and marry a girl named Mary Jones. Victoria went on to say

that it was generally believed that he would return in February to marry the

girl, but she did not think so. It seems as if he had proposed and then

decided to leave. Whatever happened, he next appears in Washington County,

Texas, where his cousin, Robert Flewellen, resided. The records of Washington

County show that Russell married Mrs. Mattie Weems on 9 December 1868. She was

originally Mattie Drake, but had married R. S. Weems in 1867. Weems died a few

months later and she married Russell. The 1870 census shows them living in

Washington County, where he was a farmer. The records show that Russell and

Mattie Flewellen had thirteen children, several of whom died in infancy. The

surviving children were Ann Gertrude, E. R., Alice Belle, Maud, Walter Dewitt,

Edgar Poe, Johnnie and Edna Pearl. E. R. may have died at an early age. In a

letter written in 1874, Russell mentions they have twin babies, who apparently

did not survive or at least one did not. Sometime after this Russell moved his

family to Rains County, Texas. Russell died 6 November 1900 in Rains County,

Texas and his wife, Mattie died 27 January 1913. Shortly after Russell's

death, his widow and children filed suit in Smith County against Martha Hill,

Francis Cary, Wilbur Flewellen and some other parties. They felt that Russell

had not gotten his share of the lands belonging to his parents. Part of the

problem arose from the fact that Maria Flewellen had died intestate in 1861 and

her husband, Thomas, had deeded various tracts after her death. Since she died

intestate, her children would have inherited her community interest.

WILBUR FISK FLEWELLEN

Wilbur Fisk Flewellen, son of Thomas and Maria Flewellen, was born 1

Feb 1843 in Upson County, Georgia. When the Civil War began, he enlisted 13

January 1861 in Dallas, as a private in Company K, 3rd Texas Cavalry. The

records show he was stationed in Mississippi in 1862. In October, 1864, his

uncle in Alabama, Enos Russell Flewellen, refers to Wilbur having been there.

His sister, Frances Cary, stated that he was shot in the hip and carried behind

someone on horseback for about 20 miles before receiving aid. He was taken

prisoner while in bed with the wound, remaining a prisoner until after the

war. In 1868 he entered medical school in New Orleans and graduated in

1870. While in New Orleans his leg began hurting him again. One of the

doctors there extracted the ball from his leg. Later the leg still bothered

him and he had to use a buggy in his practice. Wilbur returned to Smith

County, where he resided for about two years. He married Ophelia Graham on 13

July 1870 in Rusk County, Texas. They had twin daughters, Emma O. (who died in

infancy) and Elizabeth Ophelia. Ophelia died 3 October 1871 and is buried in

the Flewellen-Thweatt Cemetery near Lindale in Smith County, Texas. After the

death of his first wife, Wilbur migrated to Fayette County, Texas, where he

married Mary Elizabeth Hill on 11 April 1875. He remained in Fayette County

seventeen years, moving to Belton, Texas, on December 1, 1889. Wilbur and

Elizabeth Flewellen had seven children, Lucy, Wilbur Logan, Hugh Legrand, Nola

B., Victor H., Frederick Carl, and Lonnie Hill. About 1914, Dr. Flewellen was

involved in a shootout in Temple. Wilbur Flewellen, a son of Dr. Wilbur

Flewellen, was returning by train from Brownwood and Dr. Flewellen heard that a

deputy sheriff planned to ambush Wilbur at the train station. There had been

trouble between these men before and the deputy shot at Wilbur with a shotgun

about ten days prior. Dr. Flewellen got his ten gauge shotgun and another son,

Fred Flewellen (with a 30 30) and they proceeded to the station. The deputy

sheriff and his group were warned but tried to force the Flewellens from the

station anyway. When the deputy took a bullet in the chest, it ended the

shootout. Wilbur Flewellen died 8 April 1925 and is buried in the North Belton

cemetery in Belton, Texas. Mary Elizabeth Flewellen died 18 April 1935.

JOSEPH JOHN CALVIN DRAKE FLEWELLEN

Joe Flewellen, son of Thomas and Maria Flewellen, was born 12 February

1846 in Upson County, Georgia. When the family moved to Texas in 1855, he

remained in Georgia with his mother until the place in Texas was ready. Joe

Flewellen joined Company H, 35th Texas Cavalry Regiment of the Confederate Army

in the spring of 1864 and served for 1 1/2 years. His sister, Frances,

mentions that he was stationed in Galveston. According to Civil War records,

in the spring of 1864 the 35th Texas Cavalry was moved to the north part of

Louisiana where they took part in several minor actions. In the spring of 1865

the 35th Texas Cavalry returned to Texas and were sent to Galveston. After

leaving Galveston, the regiment moved to Harrisburg where it was disbanded.

Joe Flewellen married Emma C. Richardson on 15 February 1870 in Rusk County,

Texas. Joe and Emma Flewellen stayed in Smith County on the family farm and

had eight children, Charles Wilbur, Thomas Junius, Francis Elizabeth, Adnie,

Mary Jo (Josie), Helen May (Nell), Alice Emeer and Porter Edward. Joe

Flewellen died 8 June 1917 and his wife died 14 May 1930. Both are buried in

CHILDREN OF JAMES FLEWELLEN AND ELIZABETH PERSONS

EDWARD ARCHELAUS FLEWELLEN

Edward Archelaus Flewellen, son of James and Elizabeth Flewellen, was

born 17 September 1819 in Warren County, Georgia. He was educated at Randolph

Macon College, Virginia and graduated from Jefferson Medical College,

Philadelphia, in 1854. He practiced medicine in Thomaston, Upson County,

Georgia. When the Civil War began, he was commissioned a major and his first

posts were in Florida. In 1862 he was made medical director of the Army of

Tennessee by General Bragg. As a result of the strain of his duties, his

health began to deteriorate and he resigned his post in November, 1863, but was

not relieved until February, 1864. On 2 July 1864 he was made Inspector of

Hospitals and was Chief Surgeon. He held that position until the end of the

war. After the war, he was appointed as Superintendent of Public Works of

Georgia in 1872 and was put in charge of two small railroads. He was elected

to the state constitutional convention in 1877. After his public service, he

returned to Upson County to private life. In 1896 he was elected a state

senator for a two year term. Edward A. Flewellen never married. It was Edward

A. Flewellen who wrote the article about the Flewellen family in 1860 that

appeared in the history of Warren County, Georgia. Edward A. Flewellen died 9

December 1910 in Thomaston in Upson County, Georgia.

ROBERT TURNER FLEWELLEN

Robert Turner Flewellen, son of James and Elizabeth Flewellen, was born

2 October 1821 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The family moved back to Macon, Georgia

the next year. James Flewellen died in 1829 and the family moved to Culloden

in Monroe County, Georgia. Robert read medicine in the office of his uncle,

Dr. John Calvin Drake in Thomaston. He attended one course of lectures in the

Medical College of Charleston, S.C. and another at the University of New York.

He graduated from the latter in 1845. He returned to Culloden and began to

practice medicine. On 3 February 1848 he married Caroline Elizabeth Bivins in

Monroe County, Georgia. A newspaper article reported that a Robert Flewellen

had murdered Uriah T. Lockett on 28 September 1848. Robert Flewellen is

described as "6 foot, 1 inch with a dark complexion". Robert had also been

involved in a lawsuit about this time and wrote his brother, Edward A., from

New York concerning the suit. Robert next appeared in San Francisco,

California, arriving there on the ship "Columbus" from New York on 6 June

1850. The ship had left New York on 12 February 1850. The 1850 census shows

Robert's wife, Carrie and their young son, Robert Jr., living with Robert's

mother, Elizabeth Flewellen, and his brother, Edward A. Flewellen, in Monroe

County, Georgia. On 9 Jul 1851, Robert T. Flewellen executed a Power of

Attorney to his brother Edward that is recorded in Monroe Co., Ga. It shows

Robert living in Eldorado County, Calif. In 1853 Robert migrated to Chappell

Hill, Washington County, Texas with his wife Carrie. She died there 12 July

1854. In two letters in 1854 from Enos Russell Flewellen to Thomas Flewellen,

the writer relates that Robert had Carrie's obituary published in a Georgia

paper and Enos Russell felt this was foolish. Apparently there was still some

trouble back in Georgia involving Robert and reason not to publish his

location. Letters show that Robert maintained his contact with his cousins in

Smith County, Texas. On 25 April 1860, Robert married Eugenia Andrews in

Houston, Texas. She was the daughter of John D. Andrews and Eugenia Price. In

1861, Robert was elected to the Texas Legislature from Washington County. In

1872 he was elected president of the Texas Medical Association. Robert and

Eugenia Flewellen moved to Houston in 1875, residing at 410 Austin Street.

Robert and Eugenia had several children, but only two survived, John D. and

Edward A. Flewellen. In 1878, Robert was elected to the Texas Legislature from

Harris County, Texas. He introduced the bill for the charter of the first

medical college in Texas, which was founded in Galveston. Robert died 5

January 1899 in Houston, Texas, and Eugenia died 17 May 1923.

JAMES PERSONS FLEWELLEN

James Persons Flewellen, son of James and Elizabeth Flewellen, was born

1 March 1828. For some reason, James was nicknamed "Lump". James attended

West Point and graduated in the class of 1850. He served in the U. S.

Artillery under General Magruder, but resigned his commission 2 November 1854

after a cannon exploded and he lost his sight in one eye. James married Sarah

(Sally) Eliza Everett on 24 October 1854 in Fort Valley, Houston County,

Georgia. James and Sarah had eight children, but only three survived infancy,

Mary Beaufort, James Edward and Bessie. After his marriage, he settled in

Crawford County, Georgia, but sold his land there in November, 1856, and joined

his brother, Robert, in Washington County, Texas. A letter dated 25 October

1856 from Enos Russell Flewellen to his brother, Thomas, stated "Lump Flewellen

sold out on Flint River, will leave in a few days pack and package for

Texas, in Robts section has never seen the country, what a foolish move".

The records of Washington County show a deed dated 15 February 1858 from Anson

Jones to J. P. Flewellen. This place was known as "Old Barrington". This

house was later moved from its original location to Independence State Park at

Washington on the Brazos. The Washington Collegiate, Female Institute of

Washington County was incorporated in 1860 and James and Robert Flewellen were

both trustees. In December of 1861, the Texas Legislature approved the charter

of the Texas Manufacturing Company to be located in Washington County. James

and Robert Flewellen were among the incorporators. During the Civil War, James

was given a commission as a Major, but he stayed in the area around Washington

County as superintendent of conscripts. Sarah Flewellen died 22 February 1881

in Washington County. James P. Flewellen died 21 April 1909 in

Charlottesville, Virginia while visiting his son.

SARAH ANNE FLEWELLEN

Sarah Anne Flewellen, daughter of James and Elizabeth Flewellen, was

born in 1824. Sarah Anne married Dr. Joseph A. Holland on 16 April 1844 in

Jasper County, Georgia. The 1850 census shows them living in Barbour County,

Alabama. Sometime between 1858 and 1860, they moved to Washington County,

Tex. Sarah and Joseph Holland had four daughters, Charlotte Ella, Julia Ida,

Sallie A. and Anne. Russell Flewellen mentioned visiting Sarah (or Sally) in

Independence, in Washington County, Texas, in a letter dated 19 June 1874.

According to Russell, Sally had two single daughters and one lived with her

mother and the other taught school. He mentions a third daughter, who is

married. The letter does not name any of the daughters. Charlotte Ella

Holland (1849 1911) graduated from Baylor College and taught there. At that

time Baylor was located at Independence, Texas and did not move to Waco until

1886. Charlotte Ella married Dennis Call Jr. & they lived in Orange, Texas.

Julia Ida Holland (1852 1942) married Dr. Frank A. Shepherd. In 1880, Sarah is

shown living in Washington County, Texas, with the family of her daughter, Ida

Sheperd. Sarah Anne died 13 Apr 1881.
