He left the army and in 1784 exported to the firm of J. J.
Teasdale & Co., Manchester, 8 bags of cotton. The first cotton
shipment ever made from the United States to England.
Most of the Teasdale family data was sent to W.E. Fripp, of
Walterboro, SC by his cousin Miss Elise Crosskeys of Greenville,
SC. She obtained it from Miss Julia Crosskeys. (1835-1923).
A Similar chart of the Teasdale family to settle an estate was
obtained by W. G. de Saussure, Atty of Charleston. He said,
"all of the Verree children were of age in 1810". A personal
note written on the margin of the paper stated that Elizabeth
Verree died the 5th of Jan 1836, aged 42 years, 11 months, and
24 days." She was born Jan 12, 1793.
John took his bride to England where their first son was born.
He was left with a maiden aunt in Manchester, until he was 19
years old, when he was brought to this country.
Their Children: John, Richard, Eliza, Jane, Mary, Caroline,
Louisa, and Joseph.

JOHN THOMASON, SHERIFF, AND RELATIVE OF OUTLAW JESSE JAMES
To understand the first in a family line of Liberty law
enforcers requires a foundation in local history, starting with
the Civil War and harsh times endured by Clay Countians as Union
militia ran roughshod over residents in the "Little Dixie"
county.
A local historian, the late Sonny Wells, a few months back
shared a story he had come across about an incident involving
Union treatment of Clay Countians...
A Confederate soldier named Thatcher proved too weak for long
marches and the Union commander at Liberty let him go home as "a
neutral." But a new commander, Col. William Ridgeway Pennick,
ordered Thatcher hanged as a traitor. Pennick's men took
Thatcher from his wife and children and carried out the order
along the road outside the family home.
Union militia were not the only ones robbing and killing.
William Clarke Quantrill and his band of Southern raiders also
murdered and pillaged, with Bradley Y. Bond called out of his
house May 31, 1864 and gunned down by Quantrill's men for being
a Yankee. The next day, June 1, another man, Alvis Dagley, died
for the same reason. Four days later, June 6, a man listed only
as a slave belonging to Abijah Withers of Liberty took a bullet.
The article describing Quantrill's actions concluded: "The
murderers and robbers must be driven out or Clay will go down,
down, until the waves of destruction close over her as they have
over Jackson and Cass counties."
Such actions were nothing new, with Quantrill and about 40 men
having ridden into Liberty on March 14, 1862, briefly taking
back the town from the Union. In the process, they were said to
have shot a federal soldier, Owen Grimshaw, for not giving them
information, but Grimshaw, in a letter to the Liberty Tribune on
March 28 said that at gunpoint he told "the secesh villains"
everything they wanted to know.
Against the lawless background, for purposes of
self-preservation, Southern sympathizers in northern Missouri
formed the Paw-paw militia. One of their captains included
future sheriff John Thomason.
"He was essentially a Southerner, but the Paw-paw militia was
made up of a number of different elements, both pro and con the
South. They were protecting Clay and Platte ccountians from the
Jayhawkers and the Red Legs that came over (from Kansas)," said
Gentry Thomason, a San Diego, Calif., English teacher and a
descendent of Capt. Thomason.
Retired Tribune Editor Robert H. Miller, in recollections
published May 1, 1896, to mark the paper's 50th anniversary,
wrote, "Clay County owes ... Capt. John S. Thomason and their
Paw-paw militia a debt they will never be able to pay, in saving
the county from destruction from invasions of 'Red Legs' (Capt.
Charles) Jennison marauders and their kind from Kansas."
Immediately after the Civil War, Thomason would have been able
to do nothing with his reputation as a defender of justice. At
that time, under the Drake Constitution, Yankee Gov. Thomas
Fletcher got to pick people for county offices, who might not
have won those offices in an election. Thus, from April 1865 to
April 1866, a Fletcher appointee - Liberty Mayor James M. Jones
- occupied the office of sheriff. Thus, Jones had the dubious
distinction of being the man humiliated Feb. 13, 1866, when the
James Boys and friends reportedly held up the Bank of the Clay
County Savings Association on Liberty Square...
In the town where James served as mayor and sheriff...
Less than 50 yards from the county jail that Jones controlled...
And the robbery caused more than humiliation for Jones as
sheriff - it cost him financially, as Jones served as one of the
bank's directors.
Jones did not seek re-election after the robbery, and in the
election of 1866, Thomason won, but that did not matter to the
Yankees who still ran the government.
"My father being a Southern man, defeated (Sheriff Joseph H.)
Rickards by only 17 votes, but could not qualify as sheriff as
he was unable to secure his certificate of election during those
turbulent times following the war, when Southern men had very
little chance of recognition," according to William "Billy"
Thomason, John's son.
After the 1868 election, Capt. Thomason took the new title of
Deputy Thomason under Sheriff Oliver P. Moss. In those days, the
county sheriff also doubled as county tax collector.
On Dec. 7, 1869, Thomason, with another son, Oscar Thomason, had
a couple of visitors from outside the county.
"The James Boys had robbed the Gallatin bank and two gentlemen
came down from (Daviess County) and asked my great-grandfather
to go out to the farm and bring the boys in for questioning,"
Gentry said. "He went out there and went to the door. Mrs.
(Zerelda) James came to the door and what had been a little
ex-slave boy (Ambrose) ran to the barn and told Frank and Jesse
that the sheriff was there. They already had their horses
saddled. ...
"They charged out, jumped a fence and took off down the trail.
At that point, my great-grandfather ran back to his horse."
The other members of the posse were not ready, so Deputy
Thomason rode after the James brothers alone.
"At some point down the road, Frank and Jesse dismounted and
started firing at him, and he dismounted and took cover, but his
horse ran over to where Frank and Jesse were, and Jesse shot it
through the neck and killed it," Gentry said. "My
great-grandfather, in some humiliation, had to go back to the
farm and tell Mrs. James that he was going to take one of her
horses to get back to town, and she said, 'Over my dead body
you're going to take one of my horses!' And he said, 'Well, I'm
going to take one of your horses and it would have been better
for this county if you'd have died 40 years ago.'
"Wow, right?
"He said it because of Frank and Jesse and all the trouble they
were creating."
Ironically, considering what went on between the Thomasons and
the Jameses, they were relatives, according to Phil Stewart's
article in the Friends of the James Farm Journal of spring 1999.
"Frank and Jesse's grandmother, Sarah Cole, was Zerelda's
mother. Cole married Robert Thomason, who became Zerelda's
stepfather. This connection means Frank and Jesse's
step-grandfather was Thomason's uncle. Thomason and the James
boys were second cousins," according to Stewart.
Several years later, the sheriff's son, Oscar, worked on a
cattle drive in Texas. The story is that Jesse walked into the
cowboy camp.
"He and Oscar started talking and Jesse said, 'I was sorry I had
to shoot your dad's horse, but I didn't have any choice. What do
you think it was worth?' Oscar said, 'I reckon it was worth
about $50.' And Jesse paid him $50 for the horse," Gentry said.
"My great-grandfather was still alive, so he must have gotten
that money."
Sources agree Jesse gave Oscar $50, but not on the reason.
Oscar's brother, Billy, in a 1944 interview, stated when Jesse
arrived everyone took up fighting positions, but then they
talked and shared a meal, at which time Jesse asked whether
Oscar needed money. Oscar said he did not, but Jesse insisted
that Oscar take $50, which he did.
Oscar served as a Fishing River Township constable from 1878 to
1884. Although his jurisdiction abutted the James farm, there is
no record of Oscar trying to catch the brothers, according to
Stewart. Oscar became sheriff in 1886, four years after Jesse's
death.
Billy, in a 1925 interview, recalled the main event that
occurred while his brother, Oscar, served as deputy under
Sheriff Moss, who held office from 1868 to 1872. Oscar had the
task of hanging a black man. Sam Walker had been convicted of
murdering his wife for suspected infidelity.
"I remember well, on the morning that Sam was hung, seeing him
astride his coffin that was mounted on a wagon which was being
driven along Main Street from the Square to the Burlington
depot. On a vacant plot of ground, just below the depot, a
scaffold had been erected. A great crowd gathered and more than
1,000 people witnessed the hanging," said Billy, who served as
county sheriff in 1906. "Sam, whose ebbing courage had been
bolstered up by several swigs out of a black bottle, stood on
the scaffold for hours, talking and bidding friends boodbye."
Gentry came from a line of sheriffs, according to a Sept. 11,
1950, Liberty Advance article: "Wm. H. Thomason, native Clay
Countian, died. He was the son of a sheriff, father of a
sheriff, brother of a sheriff and a sheriff in his own right."
Gentry did not share his forefathers' enthusiasm for law;
instead, he went into teaching.
Gentry lived in Liberty until 1956 when his father left to take
an accounting job with an aircraft company in California. Gentry
said his only family in Liberty now is found in the cemetery,
but he comes back when he can.
"I love this town and did when I was growing up," Gentry said.
"I didn't want to leave."
Gentry said that as a youngster he heard one of the old men in
town tell him, "'Your great-grandfather was the law.' I didn't
know he'd been sheriff - at that point I was only about 9 - but
subsequently I learned about it.
"I started buying every book that had his name in it, so I've
got a small collection."
Gentry learned his great-grandfather pursued - and dodged
bullets from - the two most wanted men in America.
"I've been proud of my family," he said, "and especially of John
Thomason."
