Notes:
J.H. Cason served many churches throughout TN, AL, MS, AR, and TX. In 1883, he was sent to the Seymour, TX area as a missionary to the Indians there.
Went to Africa as a missionary shortly after marriage.Had 5 children who lived.Served in Civil War, was at Shiloh, Chaplin in the Confederacy
N4, h2
J.H. Cason is not found among the list of pastors of First Baptist Church in Columbus, Miss. His last child was born in Columbus, Miss,in 1874, so I presume he was either serving a church or teaching school there. Prior children were born in Carrolton, Alabama so I will look for a church there as well.
This family is found in Columbus, Mississippi in the 1870 census.Census indexes list JH Cason as TM Cason. I am unable to find them inthe 1860 Census so far. In 1880, the family is back in Wilson Co.,TN. In 1900, JH Cason is found in the index as Jeremiha Cason, age 77, in the 9th Ward, Dallas, Texas. This would be ED 73, p. 125B. Unfortunately, this image is missing from Ancestry.Com.
In 1866-1868, there are several references to J.H. Cason as an attorney in the West Alabamian newspaper. There are also later references in that general area to a J.H. Cason. But, I do not believe this is the same J.H. Cason. Interestingly, he is in Carrollton, Pickens County as a pastor at the same time as this other Cason is an attorney. I suspect the are both related back in Wilson County.
Graduation:
attended Bradley Academy
Graduation:
graduated from Union College
Military:
It appears that he enlisted for a period of 12 months, starting as a Private. During the first few months, he was named Chaplain for the regiment. At the end of his 12 month term, he appears to have not re-enlisted in this unit.
Military:
This time, J.H. Cason enlisted for the duration of the war as an officer.
Military:
By this time, J.H. Cason is listed as Captain.
Census:
J.H. Cason is enumerated in the 1866 Alabama state census in Twp 21 Range 15 West in Pickens County, Alabama. His family consists of 2 males under 10, 1 male over 20 (total 3), 1 female under 10, 1 aged 10-20, and 1 over 20, (total 3).
Residence:
Subscribed to the West Alabamian
Misc:
On Thursday, the 24th day of Dec., 1868, at the residence of Z. Pulliam, Esq., the bride's father, by Rev. J. H. Cason, Mr. Francis Oscar Evans and Miss Mary Pulliam, of Pickensville, Alabama.
Misc:
On the 19th inst., at the residence of the bride's father, in Vinton, Lowndes County, Mr. Wm. N. Hodo and Miss Sallie A. Trotter; by Elder J.H. Cason. May their lives be as happy as the worthy groom and his beautiful bride deserve, and there will be more of sunshine than of cloud.
Residence:
A note of the Centennial Mass Meeting of the Baptist association says that J.H. Cason was living in Jackson.
Census:
J.H. Cason is listed as maimed or crippled in the 1880 census with the notation that he has only one arm.
Occupation:
The Texas Baptist of Dallas says: That the Rev. J.H. Cason has been called to the Jacksboro and Graham churches
Misc:
Wedding of Mr. Granville P. Key and Miss Annie McGeehan
Misc:
Mr. G.P. Frazer of Jacksboro and Miss Mamie Cason of this place where married this evening at 3 o'clock at the Baptist church, Rev. J.H. Cason, the bride's father, officiating. Immediately after the ceremony, the bridal party left for Jacksboro.
Misc:
J.H. Cason was selected as a member of the board of Missions.
Apparently, there was a a lot of chaos in this convention. Dr. Hayden, the moderator, was not well versed in Parliamentary procedure. Seems that some newspapers commented negatively on how he was running the session. J.H. Cason rose to his defense and criticized the news coverage. He started to introduce resolutions condemning the local newspapers and was pulled down by Dr. Hayden, his good friend.
There was also something called "The Reddick Matter". A committee on the affair returned a set of resolutions. Elder Battle rose in opposition.
"J.H. Cason spoke in opposition to the Battle motion. Said 'he had been a missionary to Africa and did not feel that in doing so he was sacrificing his Southern principals, for he was a slave holder, and was opposed to social equality.'"
Residence:
Listed as living in Athens in a list of clergy participating in a Joint religious debate.
Misc:
J.H. Cason may have been living in Huntsville at the time. This seems likely.
Misc:
The Baptist General Convention was held in Dallas in 1899. There was considerable dissent at the convention led by a faction that included J.H. Cason. From the newspaper article, it is not clear exactly what the disagreement was, but the dissenters accused the convention leadership of abandoning Christ's teachings and pushing the church to the brink of dissolution.
Misc:
At the Baptist Convention, a number of individuals were denied their seats on the basis of faulty credentials. A large dispute erupted over whether an individual delegate was the person seated at the convention, or whether the church that sent the delegate was the one seated, and then what sort of credentials were valid.
This was the culmination of 15 years of infighting. The president of the Convention, Dr. Hayden of Dallas, was closely associated with J.H. Cason, who helped draft the resolutions that led to the split.
Residence:
The article also lists J.H. Cason as from Timpson, Texas. But other sources place him in Royce. Timpson is too far away to be a two-church charge.
Residence:
J.H. Cason took a new church in Carrollton, Alabama in 1901. Bettie was planning to join him shortly, but her health failed and he had to return to her side in Royce City.
Residence:
Rev. J.H. Cason is listed as Dean, Texas Baptist University
Misc:
Eld. J.H. Cason of Royse, Tex. arrived in the city Thursday for an extended visit to his daughter, Mrs. J.W. Higgs. Elder Cason is perhaps the oldest Baptist minister, in both age and point of service, in the South having passed his 82 milestone.

Perhaps the fact that Bettie was a twin and that her twin sister died early is a hint that her health was never particularly strong. This might be part of the reason she was forced to return early from Africa.
