4053	Residence: near Seguin, TX From Findagrave: In the Bicentennial Minutes, Mrs. Idalene Donegan reflects that early education probably began as early as 1842 with the arrival of Methodist Minister Reverend David Evans Thompson and his enterprising wife, Elizabeth Ann. In 1845, Reverend Thompson had started a school and taught in Seguin's first schoolhouse on the northeastern corner of Nolte and Milam Streets. It was a three room adobe building which, by 1890, "succumbed to the elements." By 1849, Reverend Thompson, with the first trustees of the Methodist Church - Ezekiel Smith, Joshua Young, Wilson Randle, Thomas D. James, Thomas H. Duggan, James C. Watkins, and Charles A. Smith, built the first church at the northwestern corner of Austin and Market (Nolte) Streets. It was built with lumber shipped from Indianola, a three week trip. Today, one of the first church buildings in Seguin is located on the corner of south Camp and Washington Streets. It is a private residence. Elizabeth Ann can only be described as a leader among women. She not only stood by her husband's side rather than behind him, she led the way during his absences. She was a member of the first graduation class of the Georgia Female College, later Wesleyan College, and the first woman teacher in Seguin. While her husband served in the Civil War, she literally ran the family plantation with the help of slaves. Cotton was planted and shipped to Mexico. She operated a cloth factory spinning cloth for the Confederacy as well. From "Under the Live Oak Tree, A History of Seguin" by E. John Gesick, Jr.	Bridges, Elizabeth Ann P. (I1210)

4063	Rev. Robert "Bob" Leon Johnson Jr. Greensboro, North Carolina Rev. Robert "Bob" Leon Johnson Jr., beloved father and university chaplain, died Sunday, December 26, 2021 at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro, North Carolina. He was in his 92nd year. A lifelong preacher, Bob was born in Lake Wales, Florida to Robert & Loralee Johnson. He was a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina, and received graduate degrees from Harvard University and Union Theological Seminary, where he was a student of Paul Tillich and Reinhold Niebuhr. Bob's theology reflected his wide range of interests, and his belief that the surest way to nurture a relationship with God was to be more attentive to the world, and he found these moments in any call to be more fully present, whether it was through worship service, the outdoors, literature, cooking and eating, visiting an art museum, or travelling with his children and grandchildren. In 2020, the UNC Wesley Campus Ministry, where Bob served for 18 years as director, established a fellowship in honor of his 90th birthday: the Rev. Robert L. Johnson Fund for a Diverse Wesley. His tenure at Wesley (1957-1975) was driven by the civil rights struggle, and during his time there, he hosted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for a lunch with local ministers, worked to integrate establishments around Chapel Hill, and followed the lead of his mentor, Rev. Charlie Jones. This led Bob to action both in and out of the pulpit, and established his deep interest in social justice, which persisted throughout his various ministries. In 1982, Bob was named the chaplain at Cornell University, where he became the director of Cornell United Religious Work. While at Cornell, he oversaw the growth of the interfaith community on campus, as well as the weekly Sunday services at Sage Chapel, where he brought a wide range of speakers and thinkers to Sage's pulpit, including John Cleese, Peter Gomes, Arianna Huffington, John Lewis, and William Buckley. During his lifelong career in campus ministry, he also served as president of the National Institute for Campus Ministries, the Association of College and University Religious Affairs, and on the editorial board of the journal Cross Currents. He is the author of the book Counter Culture and the Vision of God (Augsburg Publishing, 1971), and a collection of sermons, Defending the Hope Within Us (Forest Home Chapel, 2006). He retired from Cornell in 2001 and subsequently served for over two years as the part-time pastor of the Forest Home Chapel in Ithaca, New York. In 2006, he moved to the Twin Lakes community in his adopted home of North Carolina. Bob Johnson will be remembered by his family and friends, both for his erudition and his sense of humor – he was as likely to quote Monty Python or Faulkner as he was the Gospels. Those who knew him, knew both his generosity and his notorious impatience, as well as his constant willingness to discuss politics or the weather or Carolina basketball. He will be remembered as a magnificent preacher, a kind neighbor, and a devoted father and grandfather. He was preceded in death by his former wives, Barbara Johnson and Rev. Kathleen Finney, and his sister, Betty Wildman. He is survived by his four sons and their spouses, Dr. Paul and Cheryl Johnson of Atlanta, Georgia; Christopher Johnson of Burlington, North Carolina; David Johnson and Jessica Byrne of Lansing, New York; and Luke Thomas Johnson and Nicolle Desjarlais of Franklin, Tennessee. He is also survived by his beloved nieces Cindy Dunn and Kathy Johnson, his nephew Mark Wildman, as well as his five grandchildren: Benjamin Johnson, Luke Forrester Johnson, William Johnson, Ramona Johnson, and Finn Johnson. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be directed to the North Carolina Museum of Art, which gave him so much pleasure throughout his life, or to the Reverend Robert L. Johnson Fund for a Diverse Wesley at the UNC Wesley Campus Ministry. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

4065	Reverend Alvin Hunter, 87, of Fort Smith, passed away Sunday, May 31, 2015. He was born May 30, 1928 in Rudy to the late Plumer and Bessie Mae Hunter. He was a retired Pentecostal minister; and a member of the Southside Full Gospel Church in Fort Smith. He was a loving husband, and a wonderful person that devoted his life to the Lord. He is survived by his wife, Alma Hunter of the home; two daughters, Millie, and Trillis; a son, Timothy Hunter of Fort Smith; two stepsons, Jerry Peters of Arkansas, and Greg Peters of Oklahoma; two sisters, Sue Tuck and Alivern McDonald both of Van Buren; and five grandchildren. Funeral service will be 2:00 p.m. Thursday, June 4, 2015 at the Highway to Heaven Church near Alma with interment to follow at Mount McCurry Cemetery, under the direction of Edwards Van-Alma Funeral Home of Van Buren, AR. Pallbearers will be James Tuck, Dennis Tuck, Randy Oden, and Jesse Julian.	Hunter, Rev. Alvin P. (I7569)
4066	Revolutionary Patriot John was a general in the Revolution and went on to be the 8thgovernor of Kentucky.	Adair, John (I41)
4067	Revolutionary Patriot The identity of Alexander Moore is hard to pin down. He's sometimes called Alick, or Elick. Some people think there are references to him as William as well. Could be he was known by both names, or that there were two (or more) people with the names William and Alexander Moore. This makes him hard to place. DEED: Deed Book 1 - p. 60 - 4 Aug 1789 - Indenture - Alexander Moore,Washington Co., N.C. and William Black, Greene Co., NC, 200 pounds pd,400 acres on Meadow Creek & adj Samuel Sherrel. Wit: George Gillaspie, Thomas Gillaspie DEED: Deed Book 1 - p. 61 - 4 Aug 1789 - Indenture - William Moore,Washington Co., NC and Robert Allison, 100 pounds pd, tr on E side dryfork of Meadow Creek and adj Benjamin Crow, being 300 acres granted Moore, No. 544, 20 Sep 1787. Wit: Richard Wood, George Gillaspie.Reg. 15 Sep 1789 NOTE: The above two deeds recorded from Washington Co and Greene Co NC date from the time before the establishment of Tennessee. Hence,their being located in NC. Moreover, there has been some controversy over the identity of Alexander / William Moore. I believe that the fact that two deeds registered on the same day showing different names for William and Alexander show that these two are different people.,probably brother rather than father and son, as some have suggested.

4074	Rhoda is pretty consistent in reporting that she was born in Alabama in the Census. 1850 - age 5, AL 1860 - age 16, AL 1870 - can't find 1880 - age 36, AL, AL, GA 1900 - age 56, AL, AL, AL 1910 - age 66, AL, AL, GA	Smith, Rhoda Catherine (I5713)
4075	Rhoda was also sometimes called Rhody or Ody. BIRTH: Could have been born in Paulding Co., Ga or in adjoining counties of Alabama. Census says AL. Newton1, N5, N1 Interestingly, there is a Roda C. Smith on the Dawes Roll, Card 159, Roll 527 listed as Cherokee by blood, 1/16. She is listed with Bill Jones and Sarah Jones as Parent, but I am not sure what that means yet. She is listed as 50 years old, but the rolls were usually dated from 1902, or as early as 1898, so the age is wrong in any case. I doubt that this is this same Rhoda C. Smith, though it is possible given her location. Certainly by the time of the enrollment, she was not known as Rhoda C. Smith, but rather Rhoda C. Almand.	Smith, Rhoda Catherine (I5713)

4086	Rita Grisham, 86, a lifelong Seminole, Oklahoma resident, died there on Wednesday, November 17, 2021, at her Avonlea Cottage. She was a lifelong resident of Seminole County. She was born July 18, 1935, in Arkansas to Oather James and Iva Velvia (Dickson) Burkhart, spending her childhood in the Rudy, Arkansas area before moving to to Seminole County in her early teens. She attended school at New Lima. Rita married Houston A. Grisham on August 19, 1950 (he died May 19, 2001.) She married Donald Lester on July 21, 2007 (he died March 23, 2013.) She was a homemaker all her life. She was a devoted member of First Christian Church, serving as Sunday School teacher, and on the Board of Elders. She was a member of several local organizations, including the Self Culture Club. She served in the Seminole chapter of Order of Eastern Star, rising to the position of Worthy Matron. When the Seminole chapter closed, she was granted perpetual membership in the Tecumseh chapter. With her first husband, Rita had five children. She was preceded in death by her four sons, Dennis, Larry, Terry and Randy Grisham. She was survived by one daughter, Karen Grisham Anson and husband Jerry Anson of Seminole; grandchildren, Heather Anson and Jeremy Long of Norman, Oklahoma, Jill and Eric Malone of East Grand Forks, Minnesota, Ryan and Heather Anson of Moore, Oklahoma, Dennis Jr. and Brooke Grisham of Oklahoma City, Kelsey (Grisham) and Michael Williams of Ada, and Jade and Josh Hurst of Tulsa, Oklahoma; great-grandchildren, Carter and Greyson Malone, Jake and Tyler Anson, Nicholas Long, Trey and Seth Grisham.

4089	Robert died unmarried.	Poythress, Robert (I5181)
4090	Robert gave land to his daughter on 10 Dec 1799 in a way that sounds a lot like a will. On 7 Jan 1800, his wife applies for letters of administration. So, he died between 10 Dec 1799 and 7 Jan 1800.	Jemison, Robert II (I3914)
4091	Robert Hale notes that he joined the Confederacy in Rockdale County, Georgia and married in Georgia. Did he decide to return to Georgia to go to war with his cousins?	Almand, John Butler (I278)
4092	Robert Hale records an additional child, Homer, b. 1909, for this family. I suppose this is based on the proximity in the cemetery.But he does not appear in the family in the 1920 census, so I think he belongs to one of the other Purtle families.	Hudson, Carol (I3728)
4093	Robert Hale records the date as either 1864 or 1874 and notes that itneeds to be verified. Children are born more like it was 1864.	Family: William L. Lewis / Mary Martha Almand (F1017)
4094	Robert Hale says that Frances is listed in the 1880 census as FannieOverton. From this, we can guess that she perhaps married and waseither estranged from her husband or a very young widow. Or we cangues that Jane remarried and Frances (Fannie) was adopted and took thename of her step-father.	Dennard, Frances (I2447)
4095	Robert Hale says that Sherry Peek reports that she married John Peek after John Almand died. He finds no record of this marriage in Newton County.	Dillard, Mary Varnon (I2613)
4096	Robert is listed as a lodger in the home of Bert E. Anderson.	Dickson, Robert Harrison (I2598)
