[S327] Wilda (Phipps) Beasley (Gainesville, MO) to author, letters and e-mail, from the mid-1980's to 2000; Wilda Beasley was the daughter of Martha Jane Walker and James Thomas Phipps; Mrs. Beasley is now deceased. , Janis (Reliability: 3). : I have just this morning received two messages from Jeff Reece (Rhysaprhys@aol.com) and he included in one, a message from you dated 10/27/02 - giving census records of THORNTON, WALKER, DRYMAN in Texas and Howell Co. Missouri. Back in 1981 I was corresponding with Robert Wesley Stokes, son of Eudocia (Walker) and Albert Wesley Stokes, daughter of Helton Rutherford Walker and Ester Elizabeth Thornton. Robert Stokes sent me the following list of children for William "Bud" Walker and Jane Cox: Six Children: (1) Henderson Walker (2)John Walker (3) Claude Walker (4) Nola Walker (5) Tom Walker (6) Goldie Walker After William Walker died, Jane Cox married Henry Dryman and they had 4 children; he gave me the following: (1) Frank Dryman (2) Ben Dryman 3 and 4: died young, buried: Moffett Cemetery I also corresponded with a Ben Dryman in Dec 1981 (who I presume was #2 child) and with a Mrs. Carl Caton in Dec. 1981 - they gave me the following information: Henderson Walker was a fire Chief in Okam, Washington - was married - had 1 daughter. John Walker - never maried - buried: Moffett Cemetery Claude Walker - Killed in Mines in Deadwood, N.Dakota - he never married Nola Walker - lived in Willow Springs, MO, married to Mart Kelly, had 3 children: Thelma, Basil and the other died young. Mart Kelly worked for the railroad. Nola and Mart were already deceased in 1981 Tom Walker - was in World War I - never married - died in 1918 with the flu - buried: Moffett Cemetery Goldie Walker - lived with mother and step-father - never married - buried: Moffett Cemetery. This Moffett Cemetery is in Hutton Valley - I have never gone to it - my Dad (Tim Phipps) was going to take me there, but before we got to it, my mother had a severe stroke and was in the Nursing Home in Willow Springs and we just never took the time to go. Then, my Dad passed away in 1995 and I just never took the time to go. I have never (until hearing from Jeff) heard of Ewin Thornton - I have several THORNTON families - whose son was he? My information was sent by a Martha Thornton of Centerville, TN in 1994 - her husband was Charlie Simmons Thornton. I believed from all the data she sent, that William Thornton born 1805 to be Beda Clark's husband; he was the son of Josiah B. Thornton born 1779, died: 1858/9, son of Thomas Thornton and Martha. He was married to Esther ____ born 1784, died: 3 June 1867. I have it that they had the following children: (1( Moses) born 1802, died: 2 Apr 1874, married Elizabeth Duncan. (2) William - born 1805 (3) Reuben, born 1807, died: 2 Aug 1869, married Amanda (1817 - 1868) (4) Josiah,Jr. (1808-1895)marr: 1833 to Elizabeth Vaught. (5) John C. (1811 - )marr: Louisa Golightly (6) Sarah (1815-1860) - old maid (7) James M. (1817- ) marr: Rebecca Ridens Also have this little tid-bit: Jan.7, 1868 - Rutherford Walker & Robert Reeves petitioned the court to be included in the estate of Josiah Thornton, deceased, in the case of Moses Thornton, et al vs: Eliz. Walker et al ( 1858 or 1859) Monday Morning March 2, 1868 Subpoenas were served on Robt. Reaves & wife Lena, Rutherford Walker and wife,Elizabeth in the case of Moses Thornton vs: Elizabeth Walker et al. Minors involved include: A.J.Thornton, J.B., Marcus D. & Jane, children of Wm.Thornton , and James D. Easley, Esq. was appt. gdn. for said minors. I have been in contact with several descendants of Howell Jackson Thornton, brother of Esther Elizabeth Thornton and none of them know who his father was. None of them know anything about Benjamin Thornton, brother of Howell Jackson Thornton and Esther Elizabeth and Polena Thornton. Do you have any data about Benjamin Thornton? Would like to have your proof of Ewin Thornton, his parents and siblings. I want my records to be accurate and not just from supposition, which I did in thinking William Thornton to be Beda's husband ! Sincerely - Wilda Beasley
