Mary Alsbury Obit - 1894

psmaynard — 2010-08-07 19:20:58Z

The Weekly Herald Despatch, Decatur IL, 28 Apr 1894, pg. 3

Mrs. Mary Alsbury died at her home near Oakley on Thursday, April 19, at the advanced age of nearly 90 years. She was one of the early settlers of Macon county and was widely known in the eastern part of the county, having come here in 1828 or 1829. She was a native of Virginia but emigrated to Illinois from the vicinity of Galipolis, O., with her mother and brother, the late Samuel Rea and another brother. The country was wild and unsettled at the time. The family liked the looks of the country about Oakley and decided to locate on what was afterwards known as the Thos. Berry farm. Mrs. Alsbury and her mother remained there with the team wagon and camping outfit while her brothers walked to Kaskaskia to enter the land and then walked back again. One son, John Alsbury, who lives at Springfield, and several daughters who resided with their mother survive her. The funeral was held Saturday.

Re: Herbert Alsbury

jenlane57family — 2008-08-20 01:22:41Z

I assume this is the Herbert Lee Alsbury who died in Los Angeles? Per CA Death Index, he was born 13 Dec 1904 in IL and died 24 Sep 1967 and his mother's maiden name was Chaney.

Until I saw his mother's maiden name, I thought he might be the Herbert L. Alsbury, son of John Henry Alsbury (1856-1949) and Jeanette Zombro (b 1875) who married in 1892. The 1900 & 1910 census records of Macon & DeWitt counties in Illinois show three children in this family: Helen M (b Aug 1897), Herbert L (b ca 1905) and Thyra H (b ca 1909). There may be more... I've not thoroughly documented the family at this point.

BUT, if he is the son of John Henry and Jeanette, then I do have some additional info on the family I can share. -Jennifer jenlane57@yahoo.com

millerelissa — 2008-04-10 23:47:48Z

I have been piecing this family together from various census, marriage and death records... also information from Macon County newspapers. I am not sure that I have it all put together correctly, though, and would love to compare notes.

As best I can tell, John was the son of Levi Alsbury and Sara Jane Hawley. I've found only two other children of that family:
- Brice was murdered in 1884 in DeWitt Co., IL
- Charles Alfred married Melissa Belle Tyner in Jackson Co., IL and had several children; this family lived in Fayette Co., IL.

I show that John was born Apr 1866 and married Carrie (nee?) They had two children: Garland and Pauline.

If this sound like the right family, would love to share information. -Jennifer

Re: vandalia IL alsbury

jenlane57family — 2007-03-27 04:41:30Z

Caroline - I have that Elizabeth J. Graham married Levi Alsbury 13 Aug 1858 in Missouri (no county in my notes). I have no birthdate for Elizabeth, but show her death 23 Dec 1859 in Fulton Co., IL and that she is buried in Foutch Cemetery in that county. However, I have Sarah as the name of their daughter (Sarah was 10 on the 1870 census); I suppose she could be a daughter of the second wife, as Levi married 2nd Sarah Jones in 1860. Levi was born 19 Jan 1835 Sangamon Co., IL and died 25 nov 1903 in Cuba, Fulton Co., IL and is buried there in the Cuba Cemetery. Does this sound familiar? Would like to correspond and exchange info. My address is jenlane57@yahoo.com -Jennifer

Re: Samuel Alsbury

jenlane57family — 2007-03-27 04:18:57Z

A few questions about Samuel - his family is somewhat confusing! First... you said he and his first wife had 4 children. Who else other than Betsy (ca 1843-1845) and Polly A. (ca 1846-47)? Second... you said he and Betsy (Nicholas) Jennings had 4 children. I show 5: Thomas (ca 1849), Malinda (1851), William (ca 1856), Samuel (ca 1858), and Newton/Newston (1860).
Given Malinda's birthdate of 1851, you would certainly think she was a child of Betsy. However, Betsy's obituary specifically states she was survived by "her husband, Napoleon V. Perish; one son Robert Jennings, one daughter, Mrs. Julia Hibbs, Petersburg; one step-daughter Mrs. Lydia Wines, residing in Missouri."

Young Perry Alsbury Hero of San Jacinto
San Antonio Express newspaper, July 15, 1934, Sunday.

SON OF SAN JACINTO HERO YET LIVES HERE. By Fred Green.

In this day and time when historical research is being given impetus by the proposed Texas Centennial Exposition in 1936 there is disclosed the interesting fact that the body of one of San Jacinto's heroes lies on the east bank of the Salado Creek near the Dittmar road. This is the grave of Young Perry Alsbury, who did much to give Texas freedom. Alsbury was born in Hopkinsville, Ky., in 1814, moved to Texas in the spring of 1820 with his parents, he being the youngest of the ten children. They settled in Brazoria on the Brazos River.

When he was a young man of 22, Alsbury joined Captain Carnes Cavalry, better known as "Deaf Smith's spy company." There was no question but what Deaf Smith knew more about the lay of the land in and around the San Jacinto battle grounds, than any man in Houston's army. So when he went to Houston and told him that unless the bridge over Vince's Bayou was burned, the enemy could keep on getting reinforcements and in case of defeat would cross the bridge and escape, only to await for more reinforcements and come back.

Houston agreed with this, but how was this to be done? "You will have to pass within 100 yards of the Mexican cavalry and they will cut you to pieces," said General Houston. Deaf Smith told him that if he would permit him to take six men, he would burn the bridge or perish in the attempt.

When Deaf Smith returned to his little company of about 35 men, he told them General Houston consented to the attempt to burn the bridge over Vince's Bayou, and that he could take six men. No sooner said that a voice cried out, "I'll go with you, Mr. Smith." The company turned about to see hardly more than a youth speaking up. Not a big broad shouldered or rough individual as one might imagine, just a young fellow or average size, but his little black eyes told the story. He was not afraid of the whole of Santa Anna's army. And that was Y. P. Alsbury, first to head the list of volunteers for the dangerous mission.

It is history that Vince's bridge was burned, and Deaf Smith did not loose a man in this adventure. Soon thereafter the now famous Battle of San Jacinto gave Texas its liberty from the Mexican yoke. The burning of the bridge had been a strategic move.

Shortly after the Battle of San Jacinto, Y. P. Alsbury came to San Antonio and in 1845 he went into Mexico with General Scott. He was wounded in the Battle of Palo Alto. After that war he came back to San Antonio, and was married here in 1847, and early in the spring of 1848 he moved to the east bank of the Salado Creek just north of the Dittmar road, and made this his home. His mother then moved from Brazoria and made her home with him. He raised four children, their names were Lea Jane, Thomas Jefferson, Y. P. 3rd, and Mary Ann. All these children are dead except T. J. Alsbury, who is still living. Y. P. 3rd was the father of Bill and Tex., of this city. Y. P. Alsbury died November 19, 1877, and was buried only a few yards from the home he loved. A huge pecan tree marks the head of his grave. To his right lies the body of his wife, and to his left is that of his mother.

Thomas J. Alsbury, now 83 years old, and residing at 143 Anderson Street, is one of the rarely few first generation children of the Texas heroes of near a century ago. He was born in the old home on the Salado Dec. 8, 1851. He recalls vividly the days of his youth where there were thrills a plenty and which fell to the lot of the hardy pioneers.

Juana Nararro Alsbury\wife/o Horace Arlington Alsbury

smothersnena — 2007-03-11 07:04:46Z

Juana Nararro Alsbury
Survivor of the Battle of the Alamo
Juana Navarro Alsbury,(1812-1888), was among the survivors of the Battle of the Alamo, one of three daughters of Jose Angel Navarro and Concepcion Cervantes, was born in San Antonio de Bexar in 1822 and baptized on December 28 of that year. Her father was a long-time government official of San Antonio de Bexar and a Mexican loyalist during the Texas Revolution. Her uncle Jose Antonio Navarro, a loyal Tejano, signed the Texas Declaration of Independence.

After her mother's death Juana was reared by her godmother and aunt, Josefa Navarro Veramendi, and her husband Juan Martin de Veramendi in the Veramendi Palace near Main Plaza in San Antonio. As a young woman she met prominent Texans who came there. Her cousin and adopted sister Ursula Veramendi was married to James Bowie, who is thought to have brought Juana, her baby son Alejo Perez, and her younger sister Gertrudis to the Alamo when Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna captured San Antonio on February 23,1836. Dr. Horace Arlington Alsbury, Juana's husband, left the Alamo that same day, probably with messenger Dr. John Sutherland. He may have been looking for a safe home for his family. Juana helped nurse Bowie during his illness in the Alamo. Months later Susanna Dickinson accused Juana of being the legendary Mexican woman who carried Travis's parley message to Santa Anna on March 4 from the Alamo, as well as saying Juana left the Alamo with her father before the siege on March 6. Other sources refute these stories. According to Juana's personal account, she remained at the Alamo throughout the siege. On the final day she was protected by two men who were killed by Mexican soldiers who broke into a trunk and took valuables of Juana and her family. After the battle of the Alamo, Juana, her son, and her sister stayed at her father's home.

Juana was first married in 1832 to Alejo Perez Ramigio, with whom she had a son, Alejo. Some sources say that she also had a daughter who died in infancy. Perez died in 1834, possibly in the cholera epidemic. Juana married Horace Arlington Alsbury, by some accounts, in early January 1836. During their eleven-year marriage Alsbury was often away from San Antonio involved in revolutionary activities in Mexico, along the Rio Grande, and in South Texas. He did not survive his Mexican War military service and died, presumably in Mexico sometime in 1847. Alejo Perez, Juana's son, was a long-time local San Antonio city official whose descendants still live in San Antonio.

When Alsbury was marched to Mexico with other San Antonio captives of Adrian Woll’s invasion in September 1842, Juana followed the Texan prisoners as far as Candela, Coahuila, where she waited for Alsbury's return. He came there for her after his release from Perote prison in 1844, and the couple again made their home in San Antonio. After Alsbury's death Juana married Juan Perez, her first husband's cousin.

Although she probably wrote few letters, her signature appears on numerous Bexar County land documents and in the state archives on legal petitions to the Texas legislature. She petitioned the legislature in 1857 and received a pension for the belongings she lost at the Alamo and for her services there. She probably died on July 23, 1888, at her son's Rancho de la Laguna on Salado Creek in east Bexar County. She is said to have been buried there, although other information gives her burial place as a Catholic cemetery in San Antonio.

Juana Navarro Alsbury was the wife of Horace Arlington Alsbury.

Horace Arlington Alsbury Fought for Texas Independence
Horace Arlington Alsbury, (1805-1847), possibly a native of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, came to Texas as one of Stephen F. Austin's 'Old Three Hundred'. With two of his brothers, James Harvey and Charles Grundison Alsbury, he received title to a league and a half of land now in Brazoria County on August 3,1824. Although he called himself a doctor, it is not known where he studied medicine. He rode horseback across the Rio Grande between Mexico and Texas numerous times. He wrote voluminously to important persons in the Texas government [e.g. Amongst the list of surviving Republic-Era Documents is 1837-09-26 Hood & Alsbury to Pres Sen (ref:INV 13396 100-1353.16) ] and volunteered for numerous military activities. In January 1834 Stephen F. Austin wrote from Monterey that he was sending by Mr. Allsbury, probably Horace Alsbury, two portrait miniatures of himself to his Texas kin. In late August 1835, after perhaps being at the legislature of Coahuila and Texas in Monclova, Alsbury published a handbill in Columbia, "To The People Of Texas," warning of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna's plans to drive Anglo-Americans from Texas. In the siege of Bexar (November-December 1835) he was a member of Capt. John York's Company. In early 1836 Alsbury married Mrs. Juana Navarro Perez, daughter of Jose Angel Navarro, a Santa Anna loyalist of Bexar. She remained in the Alamo during the siege and final assault by Mexican forces. Alsbury rode from the Alamo as one of the messengers on February 23, during the first hours after Santa Anna captured Bexar. On March 1 he possibly accompanied the thirty-two Gonzales volunteers on their way to the Alamo, and on March 3 he was in Gonzales with other Texas volunteers after failing to contact James W. Fannin's division expected to reinforce the Alamo.

Alsbury was a member of Henry W. Karnes's company at San Jacinto and was one of the 154 Masons to take part in the fighting. After the battle he joined in the surveillance of Mexican troops retreating from San Jacinto toward La Bahia and Mexico. He returned to Bexar in May 1836 and took his wife and her young son away from the devastated town to Calavero Ranch, on the Goliad road.

He received a military donation and bounties for his service at San Jacinto. The Congress of the Republic of Texas allowed him payment for service as major of the infantry and as interpreter for the post of Bexar, 1835 and 1836. He secured a land grant south of San Antonio near the site of present Von Ormy. In 1837 he successfully bid for office of tax assessor for Bexar County, which he may have held for some time before John W. Smith assumed the position. In early 1838 Alsbury and Joseph Baker, as Indian agents of the republic, led a group of men from Bexar and met with the Comanches on a peace mission on the Pedernales. They barely escaped with their lives.

In late 1838 Alsbury wrote from San Antonio regarding the favorable business in South Texas with self-proclaimed Federalist traders from Mexico. In late 1839 and early 1840 Alsbury served as commander of Federalist leader Antonio Canales's bodyguard along the Rio Grande during the running battles of Mexican general Mariano Arista's forces against Canales and Samuel W. Jordan’s movement to establish the Republic of the Rio Grande. During desperate fighting, Alsbury and his command, fleeing for their lives, escaped into Texas.

In 1839 Alsbury joined other San Antonio citizens to ask for government protection of their lives and those of their families against Indian and Mexican incursions. In early September 1842 he was among the Texans captured by Mexican general Adrian Woll and marched to Mexico's Perote Prison, where he remained until his release on March 24,1844. [The DRT collection includes as Accession Number 5201 the Nichols papers with several documents from the period 1838-1861 relating to land, probate records, pension records etc of James W. Nichols, for service in the Woll Campaign. William W. Alsbury is amongst the names mentioned in the papers.] According to Juana Alsbury her husband accompanied the American army across the Rio Grande in 1846 during the Mexican War and was killed somewhere between Camargo and Saltillo in June 1847.

Horace Alsbury was one of seven sons of Thomas Alsbury of West Virginia. Of his seven sons, four, including Horace, were involved in the fight for Texas' independence. Another of his sons, Hanson Alsbury, would also have been in Texas during the war for independence had it not been for his wife's illness which forced the family to return to her home in Mississippi in 1826. They returned to Texas in 1840. Hanson's wife was Harriett Raymond Plummer, daughter of Edward Plummer and Esther Raymond Plummer of Richmond, Berkshire Co., MA. She was also the sister of Joseph Raymond Plummer.

Hanson and Harriett had three children, all born in MS after their return from Texas. Their son, Edward Plummer Alsbury, became an engineer and bridge builder and also an author. His novel "Guy Raymond - A Story of Texas" relates the story of a family which became involved in the battle for Texas' independence. No doubt this piece of "fiction" contains more than just a little "fact" obtained from the experiences of his four uncles .

As far as I can tell, the Tucker entries include only SOME of the children of Thomas & Phoebe (so far, have found entries for no person who died before 1850) and/or SOME of their children. -Jennifer

I am assuming you got your information about the children of Thomas and Phoebe (and about Brice and Rachel Tucker Alsbury in your other posting) from the Chenoweth website?
I wrote those pieces for Jon several years ago - the basis of much of the outline of descendants on that site was a book written by Renner and another one by Reynolds & Knotts.

The only "master list" of Brice and Rachel Tucker Alsbury's children that I know of is the one my grandmother had - it was written by her grandmother, the oldest child of Brice and Rachel. I also have a small book from my grandmother into which my g-g grandmother (Sarah Frances Alsbury Sago) sewed plaited samples of hair from more than 130 of her relatives -her own siblings and their spouses and children AND several of her parents' siblings and some of their children. This past year, I've focused on ferreting out info from that book.

I'm still trying to identify some of the names, BUT I have definitely identified two additional siblings of Rachel Tucker Alsbury (i.e. children of Thomas and Phoebe Tucker). I believe I've identified a third though he and his are not represented in the book. Also, two of the five "known" you referred to may not actually be part of our Tucker line.

As for the siblings of Brice Alsbury - there are some names I recognize - their inclusion confirms the relationship for which there may have been no hard evidence. It may be that some of the as yet unidentified names will lead us to other siblings.

If you are interested in more info, contact me directly. jenlane@yahoo.com

THOMAS ALSBURY

norlen — 2005-04-03 03:36:21Z

I am looking for information about Thomas ALSBURY (Allsbury). He married Anna Payton in 1846 in Fulton Co. IL. He died several years later after child, also Anna, was born.
I would like names of parents and/or siblings and birthplaces.

ANNA PAYTON APPLEBY

norlen — 2005-04-03 03:36:21Z

Hello Trudie,
Thank you for the information! I had only the approximate date of the death of Thomas Alsbury. I have a copy of the marriage certificate for Anna and Thomas. (January 22, 1846.) They had only one child, also Anna, born September 13, 1846. You found a reference that they had several other children. I have seen no record of this. Anna had several children with her first husband, Yelverton Payton, none of whom were the ones mentioned in your reference.
I would like any information about the place and date of birth for Thomas Alsbury. Did he have any parents or siblings in Fulton Co. or nearby in IL.? Does your reference have more information about his parents? And is the referenced book available? Lots of questions! Thank you again!
Margaret

Looking for Ancestors

Looking for a John Alsbury, who was at one time a police officer in the city of Decatur, Illinois. Maybe early 1900's, late 1890's. Know he died of a heart attack, but do not know if he had any other relatives other than a son, Garland. Any help would be appreciated.
