We find an account of James Fletcher being appointed guardian of his five daughters: Mary, Martha, Caroline, Sarah and Jane in the courts of Lafayette County, Missouri in 1825 and it happened again in 1827. It would seem to me that someone was trying to take the girls away from him. The first time was just a few days after his marriage to Nancy and the second time he and Nancy had been married two years. Who could it have been? Would Margaret Patterson's family have wanted to do that? Did someone believe that James and Nancy White would not be good parents? I know one thing for sure, Sarah was fond of Nancy. She named her first daughter Nancy instead of Margaret for her own mother and Nancy loved Sarah, also. She mentioned some of Sarah's children in her will. Why James needed to petition for guardianship, is one of the mysteries in my family history that will probably remain unsolved. I have been told that James' mother, Sarah Benham Fletcher Wilburn, ended up there. It is possible that she had cared for the girls since Margaret's death and felt that they belonged to her. Sarah "Sallie" Fletcher lived and grew up near Lexington, Missouri. She married James Hoggard, the first born son of John Richmond Hoggard and his wife, another Sarah "Sallie" Fletcher. James Hoggard and Sarah Fletcher were married in Lafayette County, Missouri, March 5, 1837 when Sarah was about 20 years old. James was 27. They remained in Missouri until 1844. During those years four children were born to them: William Calvin born 1838, George B. born 1840, Granville "Grance" born 1842 and Nancy Jane born January 11, 1844. They came to Dallas, Texas in the Peter's Colony in 1844 some say 1845. I suppose they would have begun their journey soon after Nancy Jane was born for Coho Smith, who was later to become Nancy Jane's husband, wrote in one of his many yarns. "I came to Texas in 1844. John Neely Bryan had taken up his head right of 640 acres under the auspices of the Peter's Colony, had his wagon sheet stretched for a tent and Tom Helm, Tom McLain, Jim Druse, James Hoggard, William Hoggard and myself carried the logs on our shoulders to help John Neely Bryan build the first house in Dallas." His account was much longer, but this is Sarah's story. From Dallas, James and Sarah followed the Trinity River south to what is the present Robertson County and took up their claim near the two forks of Rush Creek just over the line from the present Navarro County. At that time; however, it was all Navarro County, Dallas and Parker County included. James and Sarah became parents of two more children down there, Martha "Mattie" and Mary "Molly". James' parents, John Richmond and Sarah Hoggard evidently lived very near them. John Richmond (or Richard) paid taxes in 1846 and then his name disappeared from the tax rolls and Sarah (his wife's name) began to be listed as the tax payer. James' mother, Sarah, appeared on the 1850 Navarro County Census as the head of the household with four single daughters. They were Rachel, Maranda, Nancy Jane and Mary. Nancy Jane married George Linney on November 5, 1851 in Dallas County. Please do not confuse this Nancy Jane with James and Sarah's daughter with the same name. This Nancy Jane who married George Linney was James' sister. In 1854 James and Sarah sold out and moved to what was later to become Parker County, Texas. Here they became prosperous farmers, built a home, helped build a school, attended church and all seemed to be running smoothly. The Comanche were always raiding, yet they seemed to fare pretty well despite all the obstacles which beset them. Two more daughters, Matilda "Iddy" born 1854 and Louisa born 1858, came to grace their home. Parker County was established in 1855. James and William Hoggard and many of their relatives were instrumental in getting that done. http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:8B8uCDt8pCkJ:www.ajourneypast.com/ruthfletcherwiley.html+%22george+linney%22+texas+1849&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=8 Carolyn Bruton Linney Email: carobrew@hoymail.com Where are you from: Oklahoma Comments: My Grandfather was John Perry Linney. my dad was George A.
