EDIVARD W. SAMUELL, JR. (Ret.) Washington Samuell, Kentucky famer and father i:>f the first Dallasite Samuell, was horn on 1 December 1796 in north · central Kentucky . (lJ: He was the · son .of Cornstalk rlilitia Captain, William Samuell, Junior, and Judith Dupuy Samuell,(2) whose antecedents may be traced to the Crusader warriors of Godfrey de Boui llon and a grand chamberlain of the Ho ly Roman Empire. (3) He was to. never know his mother • for she died within two .years of his birth, prob.ably . c!ur ing the cl)ildbirth of his sister Mary in 1798. (4) · Following this tragedy, .sul>s'eque·nt events su g ge~!: · )'.hat his:· father 'sought the . he lp of their grandmother, · the widowed Mary Mottler. .. Dupuy, (5) who w.as to ,exercise strong influence over· the two chil'dren during theit a4"olescense. \ J~ithin twQ.. years their father married a · secohd time to Ann Clark :tarshall an.d start1'4 a second falilily near Newcastle, Henry County, Kentucky. (6) · Tragedy struck again with his premat\lre death in 1804, leaving the two infants' completely in the care of their grandmother. In the same year, the two children became joint owners of 450 acres in Noodford County:, Kentucky, as the result of the • settlement of the es ta te of their grandfather, Ba:;-t'holomew Dupuy, a veteran of the . campaigns of George Rogers Clarke . (8) Washington and Mary remain~d under the care oJ .t~eir grandmother at le~;~. through the year 1812T 'during which time the. settlement of the es ta te of their • father resulted in ·their receiving three slaves and a sum of $982. 75. (9) By 1819, Washington and Mary Samuell had left. the home .of their grandmother: in \Voodford County and moved to Scott Cbunty, Kentucky. The sale of Nelson County land to Alexander McClure that .year suggests that the tw.o children spent some of their adolescence in that coont'y. between 1812 .and J819·. . (,10) . During this . peribd;. Washington may have lived 'l.n Henry County because he. acquired 70 acres On 13 November 1825, \Vashington Samuell mar:ried N'fncy F. ·Gray., daughter. of Colonel Presley Gray ·of Gallatin ·county .: (12) lfaricy'.<; father, a veteran of Yorktown, had fought extensively in the IncHan Wars ·Qf l,7~0-·9 _4i :.and like Nashington's father, · • held a commission in the Kentucky Cornstalk Militia. In the \Var of 1812 he molfrlized and trained a battalion of Kentucky militiamen for Andrew Jackson's Army in the South. (13) Her mother, Agnes .Singleton Gray, "daughte,r of Samuel Singleton of ; Loudoun County, Virginia, is descended from the .De Ve re Fami ly of England~ ' the Earls of Oxford. (14) · · ·· · · · Washington Samuel! took his new wife to the farm on Cane Run, which by now had reached a vlue of $1,500 . (15) .In . 1827 l'lashington expanded his land holdings with the purchase of ·over 600 acres along Barebone Creek from Sheriff Richard Barbo4T of Oldham County, Kentucky. (16) By .the end of. the decade, l'!ashington • s property .l1ad • increased in value by ano~l)er $1,000 . (17) · · About this .time, Was))ington's sister i11ary married David CaStleman stiggett. It appears from the records that the Dupuys :referred to \Vashington' s sis tet as Pol ly, but later records suggest that ~lary was actually her given name. oayid Suggett, • 51 appears to have preferred to call -her Mary. _(18) • In 1832, the first child, .daughter Eleanora, was bom., (19) The next family event, an important one for this his tory, ·was the marr'iage' of Blwmor Gray, sister of Nancy Gray Samuell, to Hazael B.

(27) For the first time., Washington decided to hold a_public office and in September • 1862 he tooli" the_ oath, require_d by law as Deputy Clerk of 'the Sco_~t Countl'. Court. (28) · Two years_ later: on 23 A!Jgiist .1864 J_aJnes married Ma'rgaret A_._ "Puggie" Patterson.

For another nine years l\e wa~ to' reinain "in this' ·part' o'f Kentucky, tra\ielling infrequently to Newcastle, Henry County. (32) Then ·on 30 August 1874 his foster father, Hazael B. Offutt, passed away, leaving his entire estate to his wife, Eleanor Gray Of futt. (33) On 29 Octob.er· i.876, Hazael Offutt· Samuell married Sallie liorthington of Leota Landing, Mississippi,. located .a few miles south of•Greenville, on the Mississippi River. She was the daughter of Or. \'lilliam \faring Worthington and Elizabeth Payne Thomson Worthington. (34) Or. liorthington was the son .of Judge William Worthington of MacLean CoWlty, Kentucky, and veteran of the War of the Revolution who had escaped • a British prisoner of war camp following his · testimony for the prosecution during the court-martial.of the. camp commander .for maltreatment of prisoners. (35) Eliza beth Payne Thomson was the daughter of Charles Thomson and Sallie Payne Thomson of . Scott CoWlty, Kentucky, whose Thomson ancestors can be traced to Ayrshire, Scotland~ 52· (36) • • and whose Payne lineage is distinguished by Brigadier General John Payne of the Kentucky militia who successfully fought ~he Miami Indians and the British in the !tar of 1812. (37) Several rnonths ,following tl,le birth of .t.heir first son, Will Worthington Samuell; • on 13 January 1878, H. O. and Sallie Samuell p;icked their belongings and depar ted the Gane Run farm of Aunt Eleanor Gray Of futt and headed for Dallas, (38) where six years befare Sallie Worthington had acquired 145 acres of land. (39) They settled near New Hope on the outskirts of , Dallas • Three years later on 22 October 1881, son Joel Samuell was born. He was followed • on 15 September 1883 by his sister Eliz;ibeth Thomson Samuell, and on 14 June 1_885, the third .. son, Edward Worthington Samuell, was born. Within thr:~e years, a fourth son, Hazael Offutt Samuell, Junior, arrived ol) 22 llay 1887. Sadly, he. lived only a short time, passing away on 23 Septeml:> .~r 1888 . . (40) His grave is beside that of his grand father, Dr. William W. 11/orthington, in the cemetery at Georgetåwn, KentuCky. Following his arrival in Dallas, H. 0. Samuell continued to participate in live stock raising as he had done in Kentucky. H_owever, in Texas he specialized in blood ed shorthorn. As his herd expanded ~o c!id. his land holdings and he became involved in the buying and selling of land . .{41) • T~agedy struck on 29 December 1903 ~he~ his S:~tond son, Joel, by now a young 1 lawyer, was killed in a hunting accid.ent~ near Leota Landing, M.ississippi, the site of the Worthington home.,,{.42) Less than three years later,_ in April 1906, H. 0. Samuell became Police Comm issioner for the City of Dallas . (43) Within three 111onths. he was named to the • executive board responsible for handling all mat ters re,lat~ng to the distribution of the county road laws . (44) On 20 August 1906 at a meeting of the Municipal Commiss ion, attended by H. 0. Samuell and riayor Curtis P. _Smith, the two gentlemen approved a city ordinance granting to J. Mercer Carter and Associates a franchise for· an interurban electric railway. ·This city ordinance was passed in spite of strenuous opposition on the part of the railroad companies . . ( 45) .Jlowever, less than three • weeks later, he was overruled in the Municipal Commission .when the Mayor and the Fire Commissioner voted for awarding the contract for the material and construction of ~he Ervay Street storm sewer, Samuell felt that the council was not acting in good faith when it decided to· use street improvement bonds .for sewer construction. His strong opposition to the diversion of funds for the Ervay Street storm sewer was based .on his feeling that most of the city .streets needed imprqvement and that the limited' • funcls available for street maintenance should not be diverted for other uses . (46) In spite of his being overruled in this instance, he i9iti.ated on 12 September 1906 an effort to obtain additional funds for street improvement in the amount of $600,000. In order to obtain these funds he proposed an amendment to the City Cl.arter to permit the city to .modify its limit on bonded indebtedness to permit it to float the $600,000 bond-issue for street improvements. (47) On 29 October 1906 his only daughter Elizabeth (Beti:ie) Thomson Samuell married Harry Williams. (48) The family of Harry !'lilliams arrived· from England and settled in Lincoln County, North; Carolina.; · at the middle of the 18.th Century. After fighting in the \Var of the Revolution, · the family moved westwar:d to. :rennessee and Missouri a11d • then to Dallas" · ( 49) ' "· By this time, the oldes ·~ ~on, ;~. 11 ~" Samuell, had completed his medical educa~ion which included attendance at the University of Texas, a medical degree from Tulane University, and t1;o years· study: in curope .

(60) Dr. Samuel! was one of the most prominent men in his profession in Dallas. Be sides his extensi ve training and experience, he was a member of the distinguished medical staffs of Methodist, Baylor, and St. Paul's Hospitals. According to his • colleagues, he normally required not more than si;i;c minutes to· perform an appendectomy and by the time of his passing he is estimated to· have perfomned more operations than any other surgeon in the country. His time was not totally devøte4 to medicine. Like his father, he was acti ve in the Baptist Church, and like his brother, a member of the Democratic Party. He enjoyed.playing golf and fishing and he was an export wi th both handguns and rifles.

Jacob Routh then setaside an acre fora public burial ground and after the 20th of October burled his mother there. The marker is still easily read. Most of the early pioneers of the section were buried he-re - Becks, Yanceys, Bunthes·, Moores, and Greens of near Allen; Skiles, Rowlands, Fouches, Greers and Dr akes from near Richardson; Or. Ba i rd and wi fe; Capt. Harris and wife, the wife of Jesse Chinn and the Halsells f:r.om near Dallas and from the Duck Creek corÆnunity Moremans, Leak, \lainscott and Hheeler families. It was a resting place for near neighbors. Washington and J.efferson Routh fami 1 ies, the Ly les, Kennedy, Sandifer and Lively families. Hany graves are unmarked; some had had markers of the native white rock that later dissolved into soil. 11 • This cemetery, just east of ~nd on land adjolning Hlgh..;ay 75, is now enclosed with a ·high chaln link fence which ·has a gate that· Is kept locked. On Harch 5, 1972, Betty Butler, Peggy Oliver and Oorotha Russeil o~tained a key from a member .of the Skiles family and went to the cemetery and copied all the Information possible from the stones. The names have been ltsted alphabetlcally for publication. • There is a sma lier Routh Cemetery nearer the hi ghway. It Is surrounded by a four feet high chaln link fence.

He ccnducted ·c'hurch services in the llttle log school bul Iding on his farm, most of his ·early congregation members being of the Routh faml li es. He continued these servic11s at Spring Creek Baptist Church unt! I 1872. The congregation decided to move to Piano, a 'mi le and a half north. There it became known ·as the Piano Baptist Church and later as the First Baptist • Church of Piano. For the new church bul Iding, Jacob gave $625 and a house and a lot In Piano. Unt i I his death he was an actlve member of this church and served as pastor at various times. · It was å baslc ' prlnciple with hlm that he never accepted pay for his servlces untll final ly, ·ather preachers objected. Then he accepted pay but passed it on to needy pe~ple. At tlines, he kept these people in his home. In 1874 the first bul Iding for the ehurch was erected. Bidders on the little 40 x 60 foot bul Iding were Howel I & Thonipson of Dal las and a Mr. Cothard of Panela, Mo. In April 1874, E. F. Bates liaued his receipt to Jacob Routh for the payment of $398.50 to cover 15,942 feet ~f lumber at "$.25 per 1000 feet. Cost of the buildlng is not known.

As the attacks of the enemy couid not be anticipated and their visits on the land were of .short duration, he and others were frequently called on to guard the coast. In August 1781 in the County of Westmoreland, .he enliste.d and jo.ined the company of horsemen pri.nc~pally .raised in Northumberland County, commanded by Capt . • John McAdams.
