    308 Lewis Thompson During the Fall of 1859, Lewis Thompson, Who Lived

    308 Lewis Thompson During the fall of 1859, Lewis Thompson, who lived at the Patterson and Leaky Mills, where the town of Leaky now stands, started to Uvalde with a load of new lumber, made of the beautiful cypress timber of that section. He was driving two yoke of oxen. When Thompson reached a point of about six miles south of Rio Frio, he stopped to gather pecans. The Indians slipped up and shot him. When found, Mr. Thompson’s body was pinned to the ground with an arrow. J.C. Ware and about nine others, who followed the Indian’s trail, soon found where the savages had butchered one of Mr. Thompson’s oxen. A short skirmish followed, when the Indians were encountered; and the whites recovered thirty-two head of stolen horses. Note: The author personally interviewed: J. C. Ware, who followed the Indians; E. L. Downes, who lived in that section of the country at the time; and others. Further Ref.: Vital Statistics of the U. S. Census Records of 1860. Further Ref.: Hunter’s Magazine, September 1916. 309 Mary and John Richardson During 1859, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Richardson and their five children lived in Lankford Cove, about one and one-half miles west of the present town of Evant. Mr. Richardson had gone to the mill at Belton. Mrs. Richardson and her children remained at home. Late in the afternoon, Mary, age twelve, and John, aged eight, attempted to drive home the cows. They had stopped to eat grapes, about three hundred yards from the house when Mary saw Indians coming.

    Descendants of Robert Burnside

    Descendants of Robert Burnside Generation No. 1 1. Robert2 Burnside (Robert1) was born 1700 in Tyrone, Ireland (northern), and died 1742 in Augusta County, Virginia. He married Esther Mayes, daughter of James Mayse and Rachel. She was born Bet. 1711 - 1721 in Ireland, and died 1756. Notes for Esther Mayes: Esther, the mother of James, married for her second husband Archi-bald Clendennin, who died on the Cowpasture in 1749, and whose son Archibald by a former wife was murdered in 1763 at the massacre at the Great Levels. The name of Esther's first husband was probably Robert She had also a daughter by him whose name was Rachel. The two children lived with their stepfather, who provided for them in his will, leaving James 300 acres on the Bullpasture. In the colonial time the family name was spelled Burnsides. Another of the same name was John, who was living at the Stone Meeting House in Augusta in 1765. He had an only daughter, and a nephew John died on the upper Greenbrier in 1809.[alford1.FTW] Esther, the mother of James, married for her second husband Archi-bald Clendennin, who died on the Cowpasture in 1749, and whose son Archibald by a former wife was murdered in 1763 at the massacre at the Great Levels.
