Vestrymen of Cople Parish.

Although no vestry-book of this parish has come down to us from which we might give a connected list of the vestrymen, yet we are glad to present to our readers the result of two elections which were held in this parish,--the one in 1755, and the other in 1785.

Those chosen in 1755 were John Bushrod, Daniel Tibbs, Richard Lee, Benedict Middleton, Willowby Newton, Robert Middleton, George Lee, John Newton, Samuel Oldham, Robert Carter, Fleet Cox, James Steptoe.

Those chosen in 1785--thirty years after--were Vincent Marmaduke, Jeremiah G. Bailey, John A. Washington, Samuel Rust, *John Crabb, Richard Lee, George Garner, George Turberville, Patrick Sanford, John Rochester, Samuel Templeman.

"John Hathcock's son Alfred married Elizabeth Cook, daughter of Major John Cook, apparently about 1825-28. On June 7, 1832 the Cook heirs, including Alfred Hathcock (in name of his wife Elizabeth) and John Hathcock (in name of his wife Margaret) sold 160 acres of land to Hezekiah Ford.31

The 1830 Madison County census shows that Alfred and Elizabeth had a son and a daughter, both under five years of age. In the 1840 census they are recorded as having only two sons, one under five and one between five and ten years of age. The only other records of Alfred Hathcock in Madison County are numerous entries in the ledgers of the New Market General Store in May-July, 1831; similar entries for charges by John Hathcock and Peyton Hathcock are also found.32

In 1831 the estate of Major John Cook was settled in the Madison County Court. Alfred Hathcock received in right of his wife Elizabeth Cook a slave valued at $325.00 and notes valued at $152.87 as his share of the estate.33

Alfred and Elizabeth Hathcock remained in Madison County until about 1845 when they migrated west. It appears that they lived in Mississippi at least temporarily, since one of their daughters was born in that state in 1847. The 1850 census shows that they had settled by that date in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana.34 The population of Natchitoches Parish in 1850 was 5466 white, 881 free colored, and 7881 slaves. They continued their westward migration in the mid-1850s when they settled in Texas near Nockenut, in what was then Guadalupe County. Nockenut no longer exists, but was near Nixon, on the Cibolo Creek, in the northeast corner of present Wilson County. Nockenut was about 10 miles north of Stockdale.35

There were certainly other children, as shown by the 183036 and 184037 census records. It is not known what became of the son and daughter recorded in the 1830 census. However, the two sons on the 1840 census must have been John and Asa, so it is likely that the first two children died in their youth.

One minor problem in unravelling the Hathcock history is an uncertainty as to whether Alfred Hathcock had one or two wives. The 1830, 1840, and 1850 census records indicate that Alfred and his wife Elizabeth were about the same age (she is referred to as Betsey in 1850). However, the 1870 census of Guadalupe County Texas shows Alfred to be 65 and his wife Lizzie to be only 45.38 The 20-year differential appears again in the 1880 census of Wilson County Texas, in which Alfred is listed as 79 and Elizabeth as 60.39 It is possible that Elizabeth Cook Hathcock died and that Alfred married another Elizabeth. However, such discrepancies in early census records are common, and it may be that Elizabeth was merely shaving her age for the benefit of the census taker. The ages and dates of birth of the daughters are also a little uncertain. The 1850 Natchitoches Parish Louisiana census shows only two daughters, Amanda (6, b Ala) and Margaret (3, b Miss). The family has not been located in the 1860 census, but the 1870 census of Guadalupe County Texas shows daughters Mary (17, b Miss), Martha (17, b Tex), and Eliza (15, b Tex). The 1880 census of Wilson County Texas shows Martha (20, b Tex) and Elizabeth (20, b Tex). The author's best guess is that Alfred certainly did have twin daughters, Martha and Elizabeth, and that they were born in Texas shortly after the family's arrival from Louisiana, probably in the period 1855-1860.

As has just been discussed, it is not known exactly when Alfred and Elizabeth Hathcock actually arrived in Texas, but it was probably about the time twin daughters Elizabeth and Martha were born (1855-1860). The first mention of Alfred in the records is the 1864 Guadalupe County tax list.40 He was also appointed as one of the appraisers of the estate of Joseph Hobbs in 1864.41

In 1868, Alfred homesteaded 160 acres near Nockenut on the current Wilson-Guadalupe County line.42 The patent states that Alfred "occupied and improved the land for three consecutive years beginning January 1, 1868." The survey was in Guadalupe County on the headwaters of the Ecleto Creek, about 13 3/4 miles south 15 degrees east from Seguin. The land was in Guadalupe County until 1869 when a relocation of the county lines occurred. Alfred signed the patent in a bold hand, along with witnesses W. H. Benton and Charles Walker.

Alfred's homestead did not stay in the family for long. In 1878 the land was conveyed from H. S. Hastings, one of the original Nockenut settlers, to J. C. Birge of St. Louis, Missouri.43 It is not known how or when Henry Hastings came into possession of the Alfred Hathcock land. Little more of Alfred Hathcock is to be found in the public record. He apparently died sometime after 1880, when he was last mentioned in the census. His burial place is not known with certainty, although family tradition is that he is buried in an unmarked grave in the Stockdale cemetery."

"Son of Ingram the Guardian. Hedley states that this is the Ingram who fought at Nevilles Cross (Durham) in 1346 with his kinsman Gilbert the former third Earl of Angus. Hedley seems fairly sure that Ingram left no descendants."
