Debbie Lewis wrote: "I am looking for information about the Hurt family. As a child I met some of the family in Prineville, Oregon. My stepfather was John Alva Hurt who is buried in Huntington, Utah. He died about 1984 or 1985. I knew Floyld and Jess, and I think there may have been another brother and two sisters, Nellie and Mahala, whom I also met as a child. I know that some of the families lived in Oklahoma and were originally from Missouri. Any information would be appreciated. I live south of Salt Lake City in a town called Lehi, Utah. I have often wondered whatever happened to the Hurt family."¹

Note*

1939

In 1938, Damon H. and Bowding Jones divorced in Jackson Co., FL (certificate 5615). In 1939, Joseph Edward Payne and Bowding H. Jones married in Columbia Co., FL (Certificate 14675) and divorced that same year in Marion Co., FL (Certificate 9527). Then in 1940, Bowding Helms Payne and J. E. Payne remarried in Santa Rosa Co., FL (Certificate # 26405). Was this J.E. Payne Sr. or J. E. Payne Jr.?

Bowding Sumpter Helms, White, born 28 Mar 1890 in Eufaula, AL, died 1 Jun 1975 in Panama City, Bay Co., FL. The WW-I draft index (Grady Co., GA) shows this person to be a male who was married with one child, so since Bowding is such a rare name, the Bowding Helms who married Joseph Edward Payne may have been the child. Perhaps the child is the one in the SSDI which shows a Bowding H. Searcy, 12 Feb 1916 - 21 Dec 2002, who died in Lexington Co., SC and whose SSN was issued in TN before 1951.¹³

Samuel Lafayette Payne¹

M, (1836 - 6 October 1912)

Father

John Jackson Payne (4 Aug 1798 - bt 1870 - 1880)

Mother

Mary Frances Gafford (20 Sep 1806 - 12 Jun 1881)

Birth*

1836

Samuel was born at Greenville, Butler Co., Alabama, in 1836.

(free wh male 00-05) 1840 Census

1 June 1840

Samuel was probably a free white male, under 5 years old, in John Jackson Payne's household, on the 1840 Census at Butler Co., Alabama.²

(Household member) 1850 Census

1 June 1850

Mary, Eugenia, Samuel, Nancy, Dorothy, John, Ira, Thomas and Alabama was listed as a household member (Samuel Payne, 14, M, AL) living with John Jackson Payne on the 1850 Census at Butler Co., Alabama.³

Photographed

between 1860 and 1861

He was photographed between 1860 and 1861
The following question of Warren Culpepper was posted on a couple of Civil War websites:

"I would appreciate your opinion about the attached picture that is supposed to be my great-grandfather Sam Payne. The very dark uniform strikes me as looking more like that of a Union officer, not a Confederate enlisted man. However, the age seems right as he was 26 when he enlisted. Your thoughts?"

The following response is from Adam Pitts, on the Civil War Genealogy Forum, 28 Sep 2009:
http://genforum.genealogy.com/civilwar/messages/26749.html

I can answer part of your question. The Florida pension application makes it clear that the soldier belonged to the 1st Georgia Confederate Regt., 2nd Co. "H". Veterans who witnessed this application, Duncan T. Sellers and John P. Gafford, both belonged to this command. The company was recruited in Butler County, Ala., during the summer of 1862. There are several units named 1st Georgia Regiment, so the title is important to distinguish Payne's command from the others.

The soldier may have had this image taken before hostilities began. Authorized on Feb. 25, 1860, the Alabama Volunteer Corps was formed to defend the state from attacks such as the one on Harpers Ferry. Members wore uniforms nearly identical in cut, color and markings to the U.S. military, right down to eagles on their brass buttons. Five companies from Butler County offered their services to the Governor of Alabama and were accepted. It's possible this man was a member of one of them.

Here's a member of the Montgomery Mounted Rifles in his antebellum AVC uniform --
http://216.226.178.196/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/photo&CISOPTR=6703&REC=8

Several variants of this uniform existed.

The following is from Bill Gillespie, on the Civil War Genealogy Forum, 06 Oct 2009:
http://genforum.genealogy.com/civilwar/messages/26762.html
....
As Alan states, the uniform is not that of a Confederate enlisted man, nor a Federal officer. He wears a dark coat similar to Federal uniform prior to the conflict, with slight diffences that point to him being in a state militia. His Hardee hat has a regulation ostrich plume and brass sideplate, yet the front insignia of sabers is not regulation. His belt plate is a militia style tongue & wreath, instead of the regulation rectangular model 1851 eagle plate. His shoulder straps are correct for a second lieutenant, as is the Foot Officer's model sword.

Militia uniforms were often dark blue, yet some were black. Don't know if it is accurate, but I read someone estimated 60% of militias before the war wore gray. If so, quite a few Northern boys had to get their gray duds changed to blue to avoid our ancestors shootin' at 'em.

A handsome pic, I'll see if I can learn more about the unit for you.⁴

Father

John B. Hough (10 Mar 1801 - 15 May 1872)

Name Variation

Name Variation

He was also known as Hogg
(He seemed to descend from the HOG family of SC. Unlike the famous governor of Texas whose daughters were Enna HOG and Ima HOG, this family did not like HOG and changed in Edgefield Co, SC, to HOUGH. When the family moved to GA and AL, they seemed to have adopted Howe as the preferred phonetic.)¹

Birth*

25 December 1821

Joseph was born at Edgefield District, South Carolina, on 25 December 1821. The parentage of Joseph Edward Hough is not proven. However, it seems quite likely that Joseph was the son of John B. Hough or of one of John's brothers.

Mexican War*

between 1846 and 1847

He served in the US War with Mexico between 1846 and 1847
(In connection with the Mexican War, Joseph enlisted on 15 Jun 1846 at Eutaw, Greene Co., AL as a Private in Company D (Moore's Company) of the 1st Regiment of Alabama Volunteers (the "Eutaw Rangers"). Furloughed at Jalapa, Mexico on 1 May 1847, his Company was mustered out of federal service at New Orleans on 27 May 1847.)²

His body was interred circa 19 July 1885 at Bagdad Cemetery, Bagdad, Santa Rosa Co., Florida.⁸

Biography*

Joseph E. Hough was a baker and confectioner who lived in various parts of the country after he served in the War with Mexico. He enlisted at Mobile, AL, 25 May 1846 in Comp D, 1st AL Inf, and served until 27 May 1847 at New Orleans, LA. On 31 Oct 1846, the unit was at Camargo, on 31 Dec at Tampico, and 30 Apr 1847 at Jalapa. Capt Moore was Company Commander and Col Coffee was Regimental Commander. Joseph E. Hough frequently mentioned he was in the battle at Vera Cruz. He received bounty land for his service, and his widow applied for pension. She stated he stood 5 feet, 8 inches, had a light complexion, with blue eyes and dark hair.
     The Mexican War officially ended on 2 Feb 1848 with the signing of the Guadalupe Treaty, and only a few months earlier, gold had been first discovered in El Dorado Co. CA. By June 1848, the gold rush had started. During that winter mining ceased, for the most part, but in the Spring of 1849 the rush resumed and tens of thousands headed to California from all over the world. Presumably, Joseph went to California at this time, for the 1850 census shows him as age 31 and single, living on the South fork of the American River in El Dorado Co., CA: the heart of the gold rush area. He owned $600 of land.
     In San Francisco on 14 Dec 1853, he married Mary Elizabeth Bardóenes (11 July 1837 Sonora State, Mexico - 28 Feb 1903 prob. in FL, based on note from Knoxville, TN, Pension Agency.) She applied for pension 22 July 1889, still living at Bagdad in Santa Rosa Co, FL, where her husband had died. She made her mark to all papers. Capt. John B. Youngblood testified in her behalf that he and Joseph E. Hough had both been born in Edgefield Co, SC, and that they had both served together in the War with Mexico. Capt Youngblood had been Company Commander of Comp. H in the same regiment. Joseph E. Hough had apparently been a cook during the War, as Capt. Youngblood testified Joseph sometimes cooked for him. During the subsequent processing of the claim for pension, there was evidence that Mary E. had been previously md to one James Randall in Mexico, but that she had left him when she learned he already had a family in San Francisco. An investigator in San Francisco was unable to find any record of such a James Randall, and Mary E. Hough got her pension #12,374 for a few years. (Source: 1889 Santa Rosa Co, FL, Mary E. Hough pension application).
     Joseph Edward Hough's ancestry has not been proven. That John B. Hough was his father is merely speculation based on times and places. Further research is needed.⁹
