Most information for this family from Patti Sylvestri, I verified as much as I could with census records, but they seemed to avoid the census takers, not to mention, most of the 1900 Louisiana census on HeritageQuest is all but illegible

March 1980 -- This letter received from Mr. Talmadge Burnell Grantham, P.O. Box 191, Stringer, Mississippi 39481, addressed to Patti Sylvestri:

Dear Patti,

When I was a boy Uncle Ben and Steve Grantham come over here from Crystal Springs, Mississippi, South of Jackson on the I.C. Railroad). We carried Uncle Ben up in the piney woods and he found the old chimney to the house where he said he was born. Ben and Steve were brothers. Sons of Dick Grantham, Dick Grantham was said to be a strong man, they say he could handle a bale of cotton. Some say Dick Grantham married an Indian after his wife died. We do not know if this is true. Ben Grantham had some children near Crystal Springs, Mississippi. I went home with Ben when I was young and worked in the vegetable crops, they shipped vegetables north on the I.C. railroad. They were fine people and owned a lot of big farms and stores.

Uncle Ben came to see us often, we went with him down on the Mississippi coast where he had children. Uncle Ben was a Civil War veteran, in his latter days he lived in a old soldiers home near Gulfport, where he married 3 times after he was 81 years old, they were nice people he brought all of them up here to visit us. He was a charmin fellow, he helped make up money for the home. Yet he was mean in some ways he killed his son in law and one Negro. The son in law shot him and the Negro bit his fingers off. I'm sorry to have waited so long to write you, Billie Joe Grantham died during this time, I would like for you to stop by to see me when you are in Mississippi.

My father and mother were Primitive Baptist, Hard Shell, my brother and half brother and myself.

T.B. Grantham.

Following 1870

Sadly, Nancy died c1871, leaving all of her children to be taken in by family. Kye's brother Richmond took in Mary Ann, Lucy, and Nancy. Kye's brother Isaac took in Braxton, Albert is married, Joab lives alone, and Fanny is unaccounted for in the 1880 census. Martha is believed to have died at a young age.

Hezekiah had previously been married to Elizabeth / Bettie Crosby.

No children born to Hezekiah and Bettie. Family tradition states that Bettie Crosby, Kye's first wife, died during child birth. One theory has it that Elizabeth is actually Bettie's daughter and that Bettie died in childbirth with her second child who also died. The information currently available could suggest that Elizabeth was named after her mother Bettie (nickname for Elizabeth) & that Kye and Bettie were the ones married c1838 versus Kye and Martha. If Elizabeth were the daughter of Bettie, then Kye and Martha were married c1841 and Phebe Jane is their first child together

Lula Ova Craig Bowman related the following information to Patti L. Bowman Silvestri:

"My mother said she could remember her sister Nancy as small children they played in a big fig tree, but she didn't know where, just someplace in Mississippi. Mom always said she would give anything to visit with her sister Nancy. Somehow Nancy got our family address and started having her son, Bill write to us. My mom taught herself to read and write but was afraid to write letters, so she had me answer any letter that we received.

Sometime in 1914 or 1915, I can't remember the year, Dad said Mom and I could save all the money we made from picking cotton and take a train to Laurel, Mississippi to visit with Nancy and her family. That was when I bought my first Brownie camera, so we could take lots of pictures when we went to Mississippi. We were just getting ready to make the trip when we got word from Bill that his mother had died. Bill and I wrote to each other for years, then somehow we just quit writing."

This information was sent by "Patti L. Silvestri " of Parker Arizona

Hezekiah Sr. and Nancy Jane's first child was Albert Grantham Barlow Hosey, their youngest child was Fanny Hosey born 06 April 1868, who was my grandmother. Fanny was left as an orphan at age 3 or 4, the other kids were put out to relatives and Fanny was given to a family; McCauley I think, and was walked from Mississippi to Arkansas.

Written in memory of Fanny Hosey Craig by her granddaughter, Arleeta Bowman Schmidt.

In thinking about the memorial program this week and of the people I wanted to honor I seemed to be thinking most about one of my grandmothers and so I would like to tell you a little about her.

My grandmother was born in Mississippi in 1868, just three years after the Civil War. At the age of two she was left an orphan and was taken to live with a family of friends. When she was nine this family decided to move to Arkansas. Since there were people of modest means who had, no doubt, been affected by the Civil War, each person in the household had to be useful and so on this move it was my grandmother's duty to be responsible for one of the cows. She walked all the way from Mississippi to Arkansas, a distance of a little more than 400 miles.

One day during this time they stopped at noon and the children all went out to gather wood for the fire. They had their meal and well on their way again when someone missed my grandmother. They turned around and went back for her and, after a brief search, found her standing against a tree, sleeping. She had been so tired she had leaned against a tree to rest a minute and fell asleep.

She was married to my grandfather on August 20, 1884, at the age of 16 years. Their marriage was blessed with 13 children all together. Grandmother was called upon to bear many things but I think one of the hardest must have been when her fourth and fifth children, at the ages of 2 1/2 years and six months, both died within three days.

Just as pioneer women did, my grandmother has some experience with the Indians in her lifetime. She did not have to fight them but there was one time when it looked as if she might have to. My grandparents had moved over into Indian Territory, later to become the State of Oklahoma. Here they lived in a small house that had no door. They didn't think too much about this for certainly none of their neighbors would think of entering uninvited so no lock was needed and a quilt was hung over the door for privacy and to keep out the weather. There was one time though when they would have felt more secure if they had had a door. Their home was near an Indian Agency. This was where the Indians came every three months to receive their government allotment and to have their Pow Wows. On this one occasion the Indians had been celebrating for a couple of days---with chanting and dancing around a ceremonial fire while the tom toms beat and, all the while, consuming great quantities of fire water. They were not exactly hostile but the people living near used great caution at these times because they could become hostile with very little provocation. On this one night my grandfather gathered his family all together inside the cabin for safety while the din and noise of the Indians went on outside. Then the quilt over their door started to shake. My grandfather tried to push the thing outside the quilt away and it pushed back. He pushed again and it pushed back. This went on for a minute or so and the tension inside the cabin was mounting when an axe head appeared at one side of the quilt. While everyone waited silently and tensely for what was coming next, the oldest boy of the family said "Let me in, I went and got the ax."

My own personal memories of my grandmother are few since we moved across the country from her when I was only 11 years old. I can see now though from the memories I do have of her that she was a very resourceful person. Her house was simple but well furnished. Her table was always spread with hearty, appetizing nourishing food. She always had a fine kitchen garden and made her own preserve s and relishes. The clothes her family wore were made by her. Many of their socks were knit by her and she made all of her bedding. Cotton was one of the main crops on my grandfather's farm and one of my earliest memories of my grandmother is seeing her sitting by a kerosene lamp at night, carding cotton for the filling for quilts. Her hands were never idle.

She was very particular and thorough in everything she did, not only in keeping her house but also in keeping herself. One of the things I remember best about her is the way she kept her hair. All her housework had to be done by a very early hour in the morning and then she took the time to sit down and groom her hair. Of course, it was very long and it was brushed and brushed until it shone and then all brushed up towards the top of her head, then twisted just so and rolled into a coil on the top of her head. I never missed watching my grandmother brush her hair when I was at her house.

Another thing I remember was my grandmother's feather beds and how she made them, for she made them, too. I was at her house one time when it was time to pluck the goose down for her feather beds and pillows. The geese were all penned in a small pen with a gate into a narrow runway. One goose at a time was driven into the runway and grandmother and the aunts who were helping would, with great dexterity and firmnes s hold the goose and remove all the down and small feathers. If you have ever heard the awful honking and hissing and screeching on down-plucking day you'll never forget it. If you haven't you can't imagine it. The children had to watch this operation from a distance because after the great indignity of being rendered practically naked by the ladies, the geese were so incensed that they attacked the first thing or person that they came in contact with.

After the feather beds were finished and on the bed, my grandmother became perhaps even more particular about their care. Each morning each feather bed was fluffed and fluffed until it stood in a great mound in the middle. Then she took her broom and with the handle lightly tapped it from one end to the other until it was perfectly flat on top. The covers were then carefully spread and the bed and no wrinkle could be found when she finished smoothing them.

You can see by these things that my grandmother was a simple woman and not considered great by the world's standards. Her name will never be found in a history book but she was a woman of sterling qualities who believed in doing whatever she was called upon to do to the very best of her ability. Her children were taught to be trustworthy, industrious, independent and to always be considerate of their fellow man. She left them and her grandchildren a great heritage. I believe she could have been one of the women King Lemuel was talking about in the 31st chapter of Proverbs when he said: She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idlenes. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

3. MASTON GRANTHAM, born February 06, 1837 in Jasper Co Mississippi, and died December 30, 1891 in Jasper Co Mississippi.

He married 1) ELBERRY ANN EVANS, c1858 in Jasper Co Misssissippi. She died before 1877, burial in Liberty Church Cemetery, east of Stinger, Jasper Co Mississippi

He married 2) ELIZABETH / SARAH ELIZABETH MYRICK, October 19, 1877 in Jasper Co Mississippi. See notes below

Military service: Pvt. Co A 7th Battalion Infantry, Mississippi Volunteers

Sarah Elizabeth Myrick, from Bellinda Myrick:

I believe that the 2nd wife of Maston GRANTHAM was Sarah Elizabeth MYRICK, daughter of James MYRICK, aka in some info as Aquilla born: c1814 possibly in Georgia, or Aquilla/Aquila "Quilla" BENNETT, born: 1814 in Georgia

James MYRICK, son of William MYRICK and Elizabeth "Bettie" PIERCE, parents of my 2nd great grandfather, William H. "Billy" MYRICK, who married Phoebe Catherine HERRINGTON, daughter of William HERRINGTON, Jr. and Cynthia "Sina" GRANTHAM, born: c1800, whom I believe was the sister of Richard "Lucky" GRANTHAM, III, father of Maston GRANTHAM.

Regarding the Elizabeth MYRICK who married Maston GRANTHAM, after a great deal of searching over several years and piecing together information for which I actually did have some sources for though the information was very small in nature from tidbits from 'here and there' but the sources were lost in that dreaded computer crash that I had. However, there were references to this Elizabeth in various ways that convinced me of whom she was. There was one reference to Rhoda EVANS' husband, Willis MYRICK's sister being the Elizabeth MYRICK that married as the 2nd wife of Maston GRANTHAM whose 1st wife was Elberry Ann EVANS was the sister of the afore-mentioned Rhoda EVANS.

And other bits of information that conclusively presented the aforementioned Willis MYRICK as the William Willis MYRICK seen often as William W. MYRICK, aka William Willis MYRICK, aka W. Willis MYRICK, etc. who was the son of the 1st born son of my paternal 3rd great grandparents, William MYRICK and Elizabeth "Bettie" PIERCE. In my original information which I had inherited from cousins, the 1st born son of William MYRICK and Elizabeth "Bettie" PIERCE was shown as Aquilla MYRICK, born: 1814 in Georgia, and his 1st wife and mother of his children shown as being named ? BENNETT, with it appearing that the Sarah E. MYRICK was possibly a 2nd much younger wife very close in age to his own children. However, closer examination of census records, etc. showed that this person appearing as Aquilla MYRICK was, indeed, in the census shown as Quilla MYRICK, Female, born: 1814 in Georgia, listed with her children inclusive of the Sarah E. MYRICK and her brother, William W./aka William Willis MYRICK.

Various information led to other researchers to conclude that the first born son of William MYRICK and Elizabeth "Bettie" PIERCE was named James MYRICK and that his wife's name was Quilla or Aquilla and that with the combined information from several different sources it appears that she was named Quilla/Aquilla BENNETT. There are apparently one or two researchers that know or believe that they know the family of Quilla BENNETT but do not appear to be sharing that information at this time. I believe that it is most likely that this Quilla BENNETT was the daughter of or at least closely related to Prior/Pryor BENNETT, born: Abt. 1790 in Georgia, died: in MS, prob. Jasper County, and wife, Nancy ?, who were the parents of Daniel, William, Taylor, Benjamin Franklin, James, and Rebecca and possibly the aforementioned Quilla/Aquilla.

The aforementioned son of Nancy ? and Prior/Pryor BENNETT who was named James BENNETT, born: September 09, 1810 in Georgia, died: February 18, 1884 in Biloxi, Harrison County, MS, and his wife, Mary Annie WEST, were the parents of several children including a daughter named Martha Aquila BENNETT, born: in 1841. While this Martha Aquila BENNETT was born too late to have been the Quilla/Aquilla BENNETT who married James MYRICK at least it shows the presence of the given name of Aquilla/Aquila being used for a female in this BENNETT branch and the aforementioned father of Martha Aquila BENNETT who was James BENNETT was born in 1810 in Georgia lending itself to the timeframe for the birth of a sister named Aquilla/Aquila "Quilla" BENNETT in 1814 in Georgia works for the circumstantial information.

Anyway, back to the Sarah Elizabeth MYRICK, generally seen as Sarah E. MYRICK when the list of children for the aforementioned Aquila/Aquilla/Quilla BENNETT and James MYRICK are seen and then referred to as Elizabeth MYRICK when written about as the wife of Maston GRANTHAM is, I believe, the same person that I show now in my information as Sarah Elizabeth MYRICK and is sometimes shown with the birthdate of 1837 and sometimes with the birthdate of 1840. If the correct date is 1837 then she would, it appears, have been the twin sister of brother, Samuel E. MYRICK, (of course the initials of S.E. MYRICK for both of them would lend circumstantial possibilities to that as well.) And their brother, William Willis "Willis" MYRICK, was born in 1842 with wife, Rhoda EVANS, born: 1846.

Rhoda EVANS' sister, Elberry Ann EVANS, born: c1839 in my information, died: before October 19, 1877, married about 1858 in Jasper Co Mississippi.

From Talmadge Burnell Grantham to Patti Silvestri:

When I was a boy Uncle Ben and Steve Grantham come over here from Crystal Springs, Mississippi, south of Jackson on the I.C. Railroad. We carried Uncle Ben up in the piney woods and he found the old chimney to the house where he said he was born. Ben and Steve were brothers, sons of Dick Grantham. Dick Grantham was said to be a strong man, they say he could handle a bole of cotton. Some say Dick Grantham married an Indian after his wife died. We do not know if this is true.

Ben Grantham had some children near Crystal Springs Mississippi. I went home with Ben when I was young and worked in the vegetable crops, they shipped vegetables north on the I.C. Railroad. They were fine people and owned a lot of big farms and stores.

Uncle Ben came to see us often, we went with him down on the Mississippi coast where he had children.

Uncle Ben was a Civil War Veteran, in his latter days he lived in an old soldiers home near Gulfport, where he married 3 times after he was 81 years old, they were nice people he brought all of them up here to visit us. He was a charming fellow, he helped make up money for the home. Yet he was mean in some ways for he killed his son-in-law and one negro. The son-in-law shot him and the negro bit his fingers off.

I'm sorry to have waited so long to write you, Billie Joe Grantham died during this time, I would like for you to stop by to see me when you are in Mississippi.

My father and mother were Primitive Baptist, Hard Shell, my brother and half brother and myself.

This information was verified from Luther's death certificate. However, this is the only information I have for him, the death certificate listed the place he was from as unknown. He dissappeared from Vernon Parish about the same time Luther was born. Have you heard any family stories about this that may give me a clue where to look next? Thank you very much, Note from Susan: Glenda does not give dates for Leo's marriage or birth of Luther, but the 1900 census shows Leo as widowed. Sometimes that is what they tell the census taker in the absence of a husband, but sometimes it is correct.

VETERAN REMEMBERS JACKSON AS VILLAGE

Uncle Steve Grantham joined Confederate Forces at 18

---CSA - Pvt. Capt. Berry's Co. MS Infantry---

There are few men today who are able to see in their memories the Jackson of the middle nineteenth century. It wasn't such an interesting town then, in the opinion of Steve Grantham, a civil war veteran of 87 years who lives today at 320 North Street.

A nervous country road, shying at every tree stump, ran up the hill from the little Illinois Central railroad station to the then new state capitol at the head of Capitol Street. A few small store buildings were scattered loosely around the capitol, but most of the area, especially that around Town Creek, was a tangle of oaks pines and wild shrubbery of all kinds. A makeshift penitentiary establishment existed where now stands the new state capitol. Farmers couldn't even buy salt in the Jackson of that period. Uncle Steve, as he is called by his friends, has vivid memories of trips made from S. Mississippi to Mobile for that commodity. Requiring a month, the trip was made with wagon trains, pulled by oxen, and the same means of transportation was used to haul groceries from Jackson to the home farm.

BOY AT ELLISVILLE

Uncle Steve's boyhood days were spent at Ellisville where he enlisted in the Confederate Army at the age of eighteen years. He was on duty in Jackson when the armies of Grant and Sherman approached from the west to attack the capitol city. Many shovels full of dirt Uncle Steve threw up on the _______ that ran through the present day Winters Wood subdivision. Just as the hostilities were beginning however, he was detailed with a dozen other men to escort a drove of hogs to Scott County. He returned to Jackson just as the army was abandoning the city.

The Confederate government had established a farm on the Mississippi river where livestock was raised for the southern armies, but the advancing forces of the North forced abandonment of the section. This livestock was being driven through Jackson on its way to a safe retreat. Uncle Steve was bowled over by a cannon ball explosion just after he had returned from Scott County and was detailed as a member of the rear guard on the east bank of Pearl River.

SURVIVES BATTLES

He was in the bloody battle of Franklin, TN, where approximately two thousand soldiers were killed in a few short minutes. More men were killed there per minute it is said than in any other battle of the world's history. But Uncle Steve doesn't like to talk about the bloodier episodes of his war experience. He prefers to recall the comparatively calm days that followed the war.

From his new home at Harrisville, Simpson County, he made many trips to the country town of Jackson. He usually came to Jackson in an old block-wheel wagon pulled by a yoke of oxen. Uncle Steve remembers how loafers in front of the stores on Pearl street made fun of the squeaking wheels that hauled his wheat to Jackson.

A horse-car track ran up Capitol street from the Illinois Central railroad station. The Alabama and Vicksburg station was then on South State street where the tracks cross near the electric power plant.

For a a man vent purely on business there was little to do in Jackson then after he had attended to his affairs.

EARLY THEATERS

Programs at the opera house on Pearl street were occasional and no other theatre existed. Jackson was a place to come after lengthy deliberation and a place to stay as briefly as possible.

Uncle Steve remembers when things began to look up in Jackson. In '92 and '93 the gravel road was put through the swamp east of Pearl River and for a while it was the talk of the state.

Homeless business enterprises began knocking on Jackson's door, and citizens began developing a city consciousness. Things began stirring in those days, foretelling for the shrewd the Jackson of 1930.

Uncle Steve years have been many. His hands are not palsied; his eyes not dimmed; his mind reveals a clarity younger men might envy, and it is with keen appreciation that he has witnessed the great changes that have (last three sentences unreadable).

STEVE GRANTHAM, 87, WAR VET PASSES

Mr. Steve Grantham, 87, Confederate Veteran, and member of a widely known Central and South Mississippi family , died in Jackson Friday, October 9, 1931 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Osborn Wolfe, at 329 North Street. Funeral services were held on Saturday at 9:00 o'clock at the home of his son, J.W. Grantham, at Terry followed by burial at Crystal Springs, at 11 o'clock. The Rev. M. P. Jones pastor of the Georgetown Baptist church officiated. Mr.

Grantham is survived by three sons, J. W. Grantham, Terry, W.S. Grantham, Crystal Springs, Vernon Grantham, Gatesville, and one daughter, Mrs. Osborn Wolfe, Jackson. Six grandchildren served as active pall bearers. They were: V. L. Grantham, J.W. Grantham, Jr., Malcolm Grantham, Gordon Grantham, William Grantham and Dallas Grantham. Honorary pall bearers included Gus Letterbos, Charles Huber, Gilbert Cook, Billy Cook and Tully Biggs all of Crystal Springs, Wm. T. Head, Jeff Sandifer of Terry, and Mr. Galloway of Gatesville.

Mr. Grantham spent his early boyhood in Ellisville in Jones County joining the Confederate army when he was 18. He served with the army in Mississippi and Tennessee, the bloody engagement of Franklin, TN. being the major battle he participated in. He survived the war without serious injury.

Following the war Mr. Grantham made his home at Harrisville in Simpson Co where he conducted farming operations, making frequent ox-cart trips to the then sparsely settled village of Jackson.

He reared a family while living on his South Mississippi farm and lived to see each member of it engaged in business and planting.

In recent years Mr. Grantham, in retirement, spent the greater portion of his time at the home of his daughter in Jackson.

And thus it is that another of the "thin gray line" has "Passed Over the River to Rest Under the Shade."

Stephen Grantham and Angeline Sandifer married before the 1870 census, but no marriage record has been found. The Simpson Co records before 1872 were destroyed.

Stephen Grantham and J.W. Sandifer bought 316 acres for $3160 in Copiah Co Mississippi, 11 Feb 1871 / Deed Record Y, pp. 405-406, Copiah Co Mississippi
