Samuel Isaacks 1759-1844Samuel III was one of Austin's "Old 300" as shown by the Land Office archives; he was also a soldier in the Texas Revolution, and my father often told me that he was at the Battle of San Jacinto, although the records do not substantiate this. There can be, however, no question but that he was in the Army at the time of this battle, but I have been unable to find a record of his first enlistment. He was listed as a first class veteran, which means that he served in 1836, prior to the establishment of the permanent Government. The Comptroller's military record No. 7702, in the Texas State Library, shows his discharge, signed by John Ingram, Capt. Jasper Volunteers. The fact that he was one of the Jasper Volunteers indicates that in 1836 he probably resided in Jasper County, the home of his father. Evidently, he did not live many years on his original grant in Fort Bend County. His oldest son, Wesley, was born May 31, 1832, in what is now Angelina County. This county adjoins Jasper, and no doubt he moved there sometime prior to "32, to be in the same part of the country as his father, Elijah. About 1850, he purchased 200 acres of land at Lynchburg, in Harris County, just across the San
Jacinto River from the battleground. This land was acquired, at least in part, for the purpose of building wharves and private shipping and loading facilities. Lynchburg was at that time the head of navigation of the San Jacinto. Cold Spring, nearly 100 miles North, in San Jacinto County, was the center and trading point of a very well developed agricultural region, and he conceived the idea of opening up a road between the two points, and establishing a freight line. This he did, and one knowing the character of the country traversed, with its heavy timber and undergrowth, as well as the many streams, will realize what a tremendous undertaking it was. He opened up and operated this line with ox teams for a number of years, but opening up of navigation through Buffalo Bayou to Houston and other roads, put him out of business. He continued to reside at Lynchburg until after the Civil War, when he sold his holdings there and purchased a tract of some 300 acres on Taylor's Bayou, near Galveston Bay, a short distance from where the Bayou enters into the Bay, and three or four miles Northwest from the present town of Seabrook. He lived there until his death in 1878, and was buried under a live oak tree a few hundred yards from his home on the homestead tract. He had lived in Tennessee, the State of his birth, Mississippi, the Republic of Mexico, the Republic of Texas, which he helped to establish, the State of Texas, as one of the American Union, the Southern Confederacy, and again in the United States of America. Among his friends he numbered scores of the Texas veterans, and among them a few leaders, notably Sam Houston and General Ed Burleson, for the latter of whom he named one of his sons.When I was six or seven years old our family made an extended visit of several months to his Taylor's Bayou home, and my recollection of him and the home place is rather vivid. As I remember him, he was probably six feet tall, "raw-boned," or stalwart, and very active for a man more than 72 years old. He was fond of children, especially boys, and he took delight in instructing me in many things connected with the farm and livestock, and especially in woodcraft. To my childish mind he was the man of perfection, both physically and intellectually. In about two years after our return to the West a letter came announcing his death, and for days my grief was intense. His wife, Martha, it seemed to me as a boy, was a remarkable woman, and I never changed my mind when I grew to maturity. She lived until 1893, nearly 80 years, and while she made her home at or near Houston, after grandfather's death she frequently visited in our home, some 200 miles West. I can now recall how, on her first visit, she talked of her fear of the train and her dread of the journey. At that time not so many people in Texas had ridden the railroad cars. Small of stature, probably never balancing the scales at as much as 100 pounds, she was one of the most kindly and motherly souls. One of my sweetest memories is when she held me on her lap and sang "The Promised Land," the first hymn that I can remember ever having heard. She smoked a clay pipe, and my greatest delight was to help her fill and light it.

Looking at the division of the money from the sale of the estate, he has come up with a list of the children and granchildren of Samuel Isaacs who died in Lincoln Co., TN on Sept. 28, 1844 (exact date acquired by JB from a document showing sale of inheritance by John W. Isaacs).

Just wanted to say I accidentally hit the "Post" button! I won't be able to finish this right now, but I'll try to clear up the heirs of Peggy Isaacs Curtis:
Note: Samuel H. Reed accepted the money for all the Curtis heirs, so he was apparently the one who made the trip from Texas (according to the newspaper advertisment) to Tennessee. I was at first confused as to why he would accept the money for grown men, if indeed they were husbands of the Curtis daughters--but that was the answer--they did not all make the journey. But, Cooksey, Sims, Rutledge & Stewart were married names of Curtis daughters.
II. Heirs of Peggy Isaacs Curtis got:
1. Elizabeth Curtis - $101.29
2. James Curtis - $101.29
3. John C. Cooksey (husband of Curtis girl) - $101.29
4. Bartelle Sims (husband of Curtis girl) - $101.29
5. Richard Rutledge (husband of Curtis girl) - $101.29
6. Samuel H. Reed (husband of Curtis girl) - $101.29
7. Children of Curtis daughter who married a Stewart:
A. James Stewart - $50.64
B. John Stewart - $50.64To be continued when I can...

I go back to John Isaacs who married Anna Allen, Nov. 15, 1792, in Rowan Co NC. I have wondered if my John was the son of Samuel Isaacs who died in Tenn. John named his first son (1)Samuel (2) Allen, after his wife (3)Elias (4)John (5)Elijah. The names follow a pattern of the VA Isaacs.

Elijah ISAACKS (22 Feb 1775 - 1 Nov 1859)
Elisha ISAACKS (22 Feb 1775 - abt 1840)Notes (Individual)General:
Samuel served one enlistment period of the American
Revolution under the command of his father Colonel Elijah
Isaacks. At the pivotal battle at Cowpens he served under his
wifes uncle General Daniel Morgan, it was this battle that
turned the tide in favor of the Americans.
Samuel first enlisted in the South Carolina Militia of the
96th District during 1776 and served under Wade Hampton of
the Sixth Regiment. He also served under Captain Benjamin
Kilgore and Colonel McCreary on an expedition to Florida. The
summer of 1780 he served under Captain Chew and Colonel
Jones was in several skirmishes and one engagement on the
Pacolet River. He then moved to North Carolina and served in
several units one commanded by his father.
He returned to Pendleton District ( Old 96) and joined unit
commanded by Captain John Norwood and General Anderson and
also served as a spy under Captain Wilbourne.
He was discharged from Army by General McDowell at Quakers
Meadow, Burke County, North Carolina.
Sam and Mary moved to Franklin County, Georgia where he
served two years as a spy against the Indians. His home was
raided and burned but his family escaped unharmed althoughone slave was stolen.
He returned to Pendleton District prior to 1790 census and
remained there until after his fathers death and in 1804 was
in Lincoln County, Tennessee.
Sam and Mary lived there until their deaths and at one time
Sam owned three of the largest stills in that area.
Whiskey distilling was the primary source of revenue for many
farmers because they could grow huge crops of corn but had no
ready market for the grain but bourbon whiskey had become the
rage in Europe and provided handsome returns. Sam's stills
were where a few years later Mr. Jack Daniels would
consolidate many smaller stills along the River there inLynchburg, Tennessee.
Sam and Mary's children separated and the families of his
twin sons would lose contact with one another for almost 175years.
His son Elisha married a Nancy and stayed in North Carolina
and lived along the Reedy Branch of the Mitchell River in
Surry and/or Wilkes County.
Their son Elijah married Esther Donaho in Pendleton District
but moved to Tennessee and then to Mississippi where he
served in the War of 1812. Afterwards they moved to Texas and
crossed the Sabine River into Texas on January 10,1822.
Their daughter, Mary, married Captain Jacob VanZandt and
followed her brother to Texas in 1830.
Their daughter Elizabeth remains a mystery to me.
Private Samuel Isaacks is my Patriot for membership in Sons
of The American Revolution and his his father is one of mysupplemental Patriots.
Samuel Isaacks' son Elijah is my ancestor Patriot in the Sons
of The Republic of Texas.Sources

Elijah Isaacks, born in North Carolina in 1775, came to Texas in l820, 2 years before Stephen
F. Austin and his first colonists arrived in Dec. 1821. He and his wife settled in East Texas near
the Neches River and at age 57 he was elected a delegate from that area to the historic convention
of 1832 presided over by Austin at which the colonists asked Mexico for government reforms.
He died in Jasper County in 1859.Their son,, Samuel Isaacks born in Tennessee in 1804, came to Texas with a friend around
1819 preceeding his parents. One of 10 children he was age 15 when he arrived. He joined
Austin's first colony of 300. As a colonist he received in 1824 a Spanish grant of one league
and one labor of land (4605 acres) in a bend of the Brazos river near the present site of Rosenberg.
Two bounty warrants were issued to him for military services from June 9, 1836, to Jan. 1, 1837.
After living in Angelina county, where his children were born, Isaacks moved in 1855 to Harris
county and build wharves. He freighted supplies from Galveston by ox wagon, opening a road
north to Cold Springs. He later lived on Taylor's bayou, near Seabrook where he died in 1878.
His grandson, Judge S. J. Isaacks, who was reared Methodist served as the first mayor of Midland.

and grammar, as it is visible in the original document. There are many spots on
the page which makes identification of periods and commas difficult. Moses
often used the "&" sign in lieu of spelling out "and."

Information on ancestors of Mary Morgan and date of death of 1834 obtained from WFT CD 2, Pedigree 3979.On Samuel's pension record he says Mary survived an attack by
Indians and escaped with HER chilcren. Indication of previous marriage.
Some documents list her as Mary Wallace, speculation has it that this was due to a prior marriage. As yet, no substantiating documentation has been found to prove this.
Note: Conflicting information exists about William's middle initial. I have not seen conclusive evidence either way in the form of legal documents, census data or birth/death records. All documentation I've seen simply lists him as William.

1. WILLIAM1 CLARK was born November 18, 1788 in Ninety-Six (Edgefield) District, South Carolina, and died February 24, 1856 in Sabine County, Texas. He married (1) ELIZABETH ISAACKS March 16, 1812 in Amite County, Mississippi, daughter of ELIJAH ISAACKS and HESTER DONAHO. She was born August 09, 1798 in South Carolina, and died 1835 in Sabine County, Texas. He married (2) MAHALA LOUISE GRAHAM December 21, 1836 in Sabine County, Texas, daughter of JOHN GRAHAM and POLLY LOWE. She was born January 17, 1811 in Kentucky, and died December 24, 1888 in Sabine County, Texas.
Notes for WILLIAM CLARK:
1. There is a disagreement on his birth and death date, one cousin has him born on November 18, 1788 and dying February 24, 1856 and the headstone reads May 1,1790 and dying July 4, 1856.
(in the 1835 census he listed his age as 45 so the 1790 birth date seems correct)
2. While Grandpa William Clark was fighting in the War of Texas Independence against Mexico, his first wife Elizabeth Isaacks died. According to family stories while Santa Anna was pursuing Sam Houston, word came to the settlers of the Tebo Community in Sabine County, Texas that Santa Anna's Army was coming up the Spanish Trail, which goes up through East Texas, so they packed up all the families and headed to Louisiana, on the way there, between Milam and Pendleton's Ferry, Elizabeth died of Pneumonia. (source J. W. Clark)3. When Grandpa William Clark came to Texas he first settled in the
Tebo area in Sabine County. After the War for Texas Independence and the death of his wife Elizabeth he moved to Sandy Creek area in Sabine County close to the Newton County line where he met and married Mahalia Graham.

From "The Handbook of Texas":
PARKER, MATTHEW (1801-1862). Matthew Parker, early Sabine County settler and official, was born in Franklin County, Georgia, on May 17, 1801, the son of Sarah (Wiley) and Jesse Parker.qv He moved to Texas about 1822 and received a league and a laborqv of land in what is now Sabine County. Parker's name appears on a July 8, 1836, roll of Capt. A. E. Collins's Company of Sabine Volunteers. He received an additional grant of land for this service, as well as several other grants, which conveyed to him land in Shelby, Harrison, and Cherokee counties. He was appointed chief justice of Sabine County by President Sam Houstonqv on December 20, 1836. In 1840 he was elected by the legislature to serve with three other men on a Sabine County land board that was established to verify local land claims. On July 13, 1846, he was elected a county commissioner for Sabine. Parker married Mary Isaacks about 1824 or 1826, and they had twelve children. Mary died in 1845, and in 1846 Matthew married Elizabeth Lowe (or Low); they had four children in Cherokee County between 1847 and 1854. The family moved to the area of Nordheim, in DeWitt County, about 1855. Parker died on March 19, 1862, and was buried in the Taylor Cemetery, three miles south of Cuero.
