POE, HENDERSON AND NANCY VAUT - by DeLane Poe Peery

F244

Henderson Poe (b. Nov. 17, 1842, d. Nov. 8, 1904) married Nancy Elizabeth Vaut (b. Oct. 1848, d. Sept. 29, 1928), daughter of Andrew Vaut, and stepdaughter of Jacob Boydston who was an early settler of Dallas County, homesteading in Cedar Hill, then known as Cedar mountains. The date of this marriage is unknown. He and Nancy continued to remain at his parental home. He farmed and raisec livestock. In 1892, he and A.J. Dukes went into the hardware business Henderson "Hence" Poe raised thoroughbreds for racing. Some debt or other was settled between Hence and A.J. Dukes by his giving A.J. some race horses. A.J.'s son Leonidas took them to St. Louis to market them but never returned with the money. Leonidas had met up with some men and one or more of his mother's brothers, and they managed to blow all the money before they got home.
William Poe, Henderson's father, in his later years traded away 149 and ½ acres of the So. W. survey of the Poe homestead to H.R. and Fannie Sharp on May 1, 1885. This did not please Henderson and he was able to eventually buy back the land approximately two years later. Nelmwood Estates now occupies a portion of the old Poe homestead. Henderson was half owner of the State Bank of Mansfield. He was in the hardware business with A.J. Dukes, establishing a store on Main St. He was an accomplished fiddler, and hunter. He was invited into the Masonic Lodge #331 in Mansfield, January 1870 and made a master Mason in 1871. Henderson helped in the construction of the Masonic Lodge on Main Street. He was so loved and respected at the lodge that at his death the lodge was draped in mourning, and all the members wore a badge of mourning for thirty days. A page of the Masonic record was dedicated to his memory. Hence attended the Confederate Veterans reunion in Ft. Worth in his later years, date un-known. He participated in an old fiddlers contest April 13, 1901. November 21, 1902 a fire destroyed the Henderson's home that stood four miles north of Mansfield on Hwy. 157. "Just at noon a heavy volume of smoke was noticed rising north of town, and it only took a short while with a good field glass to locate the fire as being the farm house of Mr. Poe's. Henderson and his son Will, were both away from home, and the only persons about were the two Mistress Poe's," (Nancy and Maggie) wrote the Mansfield News Mirror. The fire which started from a defective flue in the kitchen was discovered while it had yet made but little headway, but the ladies had no means of extinguishing it, and before effective help arrived on the scene, the pretty house was doomed. Mr. Poe had for years carried insurance on his house but had let the insurance expire only one year before, vowing that he was disgusted because the house would not burn. The loss was absolute except for his fiddle which was saved by his wife; it never even got scorched. However, he was inconsolable over the loss of his hunting horn. "By, George, the best'un I ever blowed", remorsed Mr. Poe. The property loss was something over $2,500.00 and he vowed that no one could make a house and furniture that would just exactly fit him like that one." reported the Mansfield News Mirror.
Henderson. lived a life undirected by any of orthodox creeds or generally accepted rules of conduct; he was good hearted and honest. He had the love and respect of all classes of society. He recognized the need of the hour and was generous to those in need, with a loan, a helping hand or a sack of flour, when a widow's table was bare. Henderson and Nancy had a good marriage. In the 1860's settlers were few and far between. A creek ran through the Poe land and many times during the rainy seasons the road to Mansfield would become impassable. The family would be cut off from friends and neighbors until the waters subsided.
There were four children born of the marriage of Henderson and Nancy:
1.     Susan was born September 28, 1869 and died October 20, 1878 of scarlet fever.
2.     William Silas was born July 30, 1871. When Will contacted scarlet fever he became very ill, and was not conscious much of the time. When he began to recover, he discovered that his two sisters, Mary Alice and Susan were already dead and buried.
3.     Mary Alice was born June 24, 1875 and died October 20, 1878 of scarlet fever.
4.     Mattie Lenora was born March 1, 1888 and died April 4, 1889. The cause of her death was pneumonia. Mattie had climbed up in a chair and pulled a scalding hot pot of coffee off of the table onto her tiny body and was severely burned. She developed pneumonia and was not able to recover. The three girls are buried at Johnson Station cemetery.
Some time before Susan's death Oct. 28, 1878, Henderson won a 1852 gold dollar in a gambling game. He came home and found Susan and Will playing in the yard. Laura Hardgraves, a black woman was doing the Poe family laundry (the old fashioned way with a fire burning around a wash pot, rub boards and tubs) and she was also minding the children. Laura said that Henderson called Susan to him and gave her the 1952 gold dollar. Susan hurriedly took the coin to her mother, Nancy and gave it to her to put in a safe place. Laura reported that Will was very disappointed because his Dad did not give the coin to him instead of Susan. Susan died soon after this incident. Still Nancy kept the gold dollar among her keepsakes until 1902 when the house was destroyed by fire. A new house was erected on the same foundation, with no underpinning. Many years later Sue Poe, granddaughter of Henderson was playing under the house and picked up a shiny object. Not knowing what it was, she went inside the house to show it to her mother. Maggie checked it over and found it to be an 1852 gold dollar. After much ju-bilation, Nancy, Sue's grandmother then gave the coin to Maggie to keep for Sue. Sue always treasured the coin and kept it until her death. It was dated the same year that her grandmother, Sue Broiles Erwin, was born in Rutherford County, Tennessee.
Henderson Poe died Nov. 8, 1904. Henderson's grandson and namesake, Hence, went to Dallas in a wagon to get him a tombstone. It is still standing at the head of his grave at Johnson Station Cemetery, Arlington, Texas.
Nancy Vaut Poe was born Oct. 1848 and died Sept. 29, 1928. It is told that she wrote poetry. One of her poems was printed in the Mansfield News in 1928. Nanny Poe had been suffering from a lengthy illness and lay dying, around 8:58 on the morning of September 29, 1928, the day of her death. W.B. Hawkins, Jr., who was the Methodist preacher in Mansfield just happened to be passing by in a wagon and dropped in to see Nannie. It so happened that her last breath was leaving her body at that very moment. "it was a comfort to have him with us in our sorrowful hour", wrote Maggie Poe, daughter-in-law, in the pages of the family bible, "salvation open to all believers". Nancy Poe is buried at Johnson Station Cemetery.

POE,     MAGGIE LEE ERWIN (F245)

Colonel James A. Erwin (1846- 1926) was a native of Germany, who served through the Revolutionary struggle of America.
George W. Erwin (?-1887) (one of seven children) became a rioted planter and slave owner of North Carolina. He married Miss Margaret Henson. George and Margaret and family moved from N. Carolina in 1853, settling within the same year in Bedford County, Tennessee, where he became a prominent farmer, he died in 1887. His son, James A. Erwin was the eldest of nine children. He spent his boyhood days on a farm in central Tennessee, receiving only a limited education. He grew to manhood there and became a noted planter and slave owner of North Carolina. From 1871 to 1881 he resided on an improved farm in that state. In 1871, James Erwin was united in marriage to Miss Sue Letticia Broiles (1852-1931) daughter of Wilson S. Broiles (1817-1883) a Tennesseean and Fannie Hoover Broiles (1820-1885). (Fannie's mother's name was Rebecca. Father's name ?) Fannie was related to President Herbert Hoover. She had dark brown hair and brown eyes. Fannie and Wilson Broiles had seven children: a daughter, Sally, had a handicap and could not speak. Melinda married T.J. Robinson, who died in Tennessee. Melinda came to Texas with her family to Collin County but moved to Henrietta, Texas in 1885; John M. moved to Waco, Texas in 1881; Edna married E.E. Rankin, a merchant of Arlington; Hyram S. Broiles became a doctor of medicine, moved to Ft. Worth and became Mayor of the city in the mid 1850's.
Fannie Hoover Broiles departed this life in 1883, but her husband Wilson, survived until 1885, both dying in Tennessee. She and Wilson were members of the Methodist Church.
James A. Erwin and Sue L. Broiles Erwin had eight children while in Bell Buckle, Tennessee; Ella, wife of W.E. Butler was a clerk of the court at Fort Worth. Ella died at the age of 73, eleven months and 14 days on Saturday morning at 2:00 A.M. Sept. 8, 1946. J. Walter; Edward; Willie Burton, and twins Edna May and Robert. (b. April 12, 1886) Robert died Monday, October 21, 1886, and is buried at Johnson Station, in Arlington. Edna married Paul M. Monnig August 4, 1907 on Sunday. Paul owned a department store in Mansfield. They had one daughter, Margaret Monnig. Edna died June 27, 1962, she is buried at Mansfield. Other children of James and Sue Erwin were Marie Lucille Erwin Bryson, b.

She died June 25, 1984, services were held at Blessing Mclnnis Chapel in Mansfield and she was buried at Mansfield. Marie and Ed had one daughter Edna Earl Bryson. Maggie Lee Erwin Poe (1878-1958) born in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. David Ernest Erwin, born Dec. 12, 1873. He first married Lena Massie, April 27, 1902 on a Wednesday. Later married Margaret McDavitt December 29th, 1926. They had one son David E. Erwin Jr. David Ernst Erwin lived at 301 Emma St. in Ft. Worth from 1943 till death Dec. 13, 1967. His son still resides at this address. Margaret McDavitt Erwin died May 1982 and was buried at Mansfield.
The James Erwin Family started West by wagon train in 1881. Maggie remembered sitting on her mother's lap while crossing a big river on a ferry. When she saw the wide, rushing current of the mighty Mississippi she became terrified because she had never in her life been subjected to so much water. She cried all the way across the river.
James A. Erwin purchased a farm at Johnson Station. In 1882, later he purchased a farm consisting of ninety-five acres from Mr. Julian Field, a prominent resident and namesake of Mansfield and settled there. This land was kept under a good state of cultivation. It was located on the Old Mansfield Highway on the West side of the road about one-half mile from the railroad tracks, bounded by Patterson Road. The tree where Will Poe tied his horse when he was courting Maggie is still standing and so is the old windmill that stood next to the house (1984). James A. Erwin was affiliated with the Democratic party, and both he and Sue were members of the Christian church. Mr. Erwin was left blinded by a cataract operation later in life, but learned to get around with the use of a cane. He would walk the approximate half mile into Mansfield every day. He was against alcohol and consumption of the "foul beverage". He had reddish brown hair and a fair complexion. His hair turned white in later years. Mr. Erwin always wore a beard and was a very distin-guished looking gentleman. He was guardian of Sally Broiles, his wife's sister, who was afflicted with a speech impediment, such that she could not speak. Sally Ann Broiles died on the 5th day of February 1904, 11:00 A.M. from congestion of the lungs. W.B. McKnight was her attending physician. Mr. Erwin died Jan. 24, 1926 at Mansfield, his wife died at the age of 78, April 26, 1931 at the home of her daughter, Edna, 2016 Binkley St., Ft. Worth, Texas. Sunday night at 10 o'clock. Funeral services were held at the home. Sue Broiles Erwin was buried at Mansfield Cemetery. She was ill for only two weeks prior to her death. This poem was written by Sue Erwin March 14, 1927.

Going Home
Adieu, sweet friends and children dear. I have waited long to hear the message that calls me home. And now it comes like a sweet old song, Welcome over the river foam. And my heart shall ache and my feet shall roam no more, no more. I am going home. Home, where no storms or suffering or trouble are in the light of eternal day. Where no willows weep o'er lonely graves and the tears from my eyelids are wiped away. And my soul shall sigh and my feet shall roam no more, no more, I am going home.
Maggie Lee Erwin married William Silas Poe Dec. 28th, 1958. They lived with Will's father, Henderson Poe and his mother Nancy Poe on FM 157, four miles from Mansfield. Their children were Edna, Hence, Sue, William Silas Poe, Jr.
After the death of Henderson and Nancy, Will and Maggie rented out the old homeplace and moved to a house on the Poe property east of FM 157 which had previously been owned by Cleo Wilson. This house was about a mile or so off the highway hidden away behind the mesquite and oak trees. Maggie's children were mostly grown by this time and married. Her daughter Sue, had left her husband Uoyd Leath and lived there also with her son, Jack Leath, who was a young teenager by this time. Will farmed and raised livestock in a limited fashion. After Will's death December 24, 1944, she moved back on FM 157, to a house that she had built not far from the original Poe homestead. She lived there with her daughter Sue and her granddaughter Mary Ann Poe who was the daughter of her son, Hence Poe.
Maggie's home was always a kind of hub for the family activities. Her sons and grandchildren paid frequent, if not daily visits to her home. All members of the family remained to live someplace on the Poe farm. None of them pursued farming as a means of livelihood for very long, only as a hobby or not at all. When World War II broke out, Bill, Sue and Hence found war related jobs as did Maggie's grandson Jack. These jobs paid better than farming, but the young adults continued to commute to the city to work even after the war ended.
Maggie always did the cooking for the family, but not the dishes. That job was left to the others. She liked to quilt, and loved to listen to soap operas on the radio. Every afternoon she would pull her rocking chair up beside the table where the radio sat, turn it on and lis-ten to "Just Plain Bill", "As the World Turns", "Lorenzo Jones", "Amos and Andy" and many other programs that were the highlight of the day.
One fall the family gathered for a hog killing. Bill, Jack and Hence were there to help. The hog was shot and tied to a pulley that was hung in a tree, so that it could be raised or lowered. The hog was lifted up off the ground and bled. Meanwhile a big vat was set up near the hog and filled with water. A fire was built under it and kept blazing until the water was boiling hot. Then the hog was pulled up by the hoist and lowered into the vat to remove all of the hair off the skin. The hog was split down the middle with an ax, skinned and butchered. Maggie and her daughter Sue, had fires under two big wash pots near the kitchen ready to make the cracklin's and the lard. Bill's children, Pat and Burton were the takin' in the whole affair. As Maggie cooked the cracklin's, the kids were watching and waiting. As fast as she could put them on a plate the kids would eat every last one of the cracklin's. Maggie was constantly scolding them because of it, but to no avail.
Maggie was always available as the family babysitter. She had kept toys and books that her children had played with, and the grandkids were welcome to play with them too. Sue was the teacher, and any child that was willing to learn from her many talents, she had the patience to try to help them learn to read, write, milk cows, sew, crochet or anything else that a child might be curious about. Maggie was a story teller for the children. She would patiently tell the "Three Bears", 'Three Little Pigs", "Cinderella" or "Snow White" over and over again. Maggie Lee Poe, was 80 years old when she died at her home, after a long illness on Nov. 26, 1958. She was buried alongside Will Poe at Rehoboth cemetery. Will Poe had bought several burial plots at Rehoboth when the cemetery was first being established. Several of his close family members are also buried there. At the age of 15 Maggie was baptized into the Christian Church of Mansfield.

     THE LATE COL. GEORGE WILSON. A Summary of the Important Events in His Honorable Career.
     The death of this old, honorable and useful citizen at his old residence, four miles northwest of Cedar Hill, a few days since, recalls his value as a citizen. He came from Missouri to Lamar county about 1840---was in several expeditions against the Indians---and in 1847 was an officer in Col. Wm. C. Young's regiment for the Mexican war; but they reached Mexico as the war closed. In 1848, he came to Dallas county, where he has ever ranked among the foremost of its most enlightened and successful farmers. He rendered valuable service in the civil war and also represented Dallas county in the legislature. While always a popular man, he shrank from office holding. For a great many years, he was a conscientious member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Having passed beyond four score years, he died lamented by all who knew him, leaving his aged wife, several sons, a daughter and several grand children to cherish his memory. A more upright and estimable man never lived in Dallas county. - March 5, 1889, Dallas Daily Times Herald, p. 5, col. 3 by way of FAG Contributor Sherry.

George Wilson and Elizabeth are brick walls, although I know a bit of their lives and offspring. I have seen information posted that Elizabeth's last name is Lay and also McCoy (MacKay). You have used Lay. I'm getting some information in the mail, hopefully today, that lists the name as McCoy. Personally, I believe it to be McCoy. The information will be based on a written history, not primary evidence. One of George's sons married a
Mollie Lay. Do you have more concrete sources?
I have recently received information that George's dad was born in Scotland - but 1880 census looks like SC, although my notes questioned the entry. Since I did not print a copy of the page, I must go back to verify such next time I'm at FHC.
