525 Foster Axon Bonnett and his family
Foster Axon Bonnett was born in Lowndes County, Alabama on November 11, 1838. He was the son of Shadrach Daniel Baltzegar Bonnett and Martha Missouri Long Bonnett.
In the fall of 1847 his family moved to Neshoba County, Mississippi for a short period of time and then moved to Itawamba County in December of 1848.
Civil War
At the age of 23, Foster enlisted to fight for the Confederacy on November 14, 1861. He signed up with Company A, 4th Battalion, Mississippi Cavalry, C.S.A. (which later became Company C, 8th (Wade's) Confederate Cavalry). Enlisting at Columbus, Mississippi at the rank of corporal, he participated in several battles, the Battle of Brice's Cross Roads, under the command of General Nathan Bedford Forrest, the Battle of Corinth, Mississippi, and was in the great battle at Shiloh, or Pittsburg Landing, on the Tennessee River in Hardin County, Tennessee. At the battle of Shiloh, he witnessed the fatal wounding of the commanding officer of the Confederate Army, General Albert Sidney Johnston, on April 6, 1862. During this battle Foster “narrowly escaped death as eleven bullets pierced the blanket that was around his body and his horse was shot dead from under him”. On April 16, 1862 Foster was reduced to the rank of private. He was captured by Union Forces at Shelbyville, Tennessee on June 27, 1863. Foster was held as a prisoner of war for almost two years at several camps. Among those were prison camps located in Franklin, Tennessee, Louisville, Kentucky, Camp Chase in Ohio, and finally Ft. Delaware, Delaware. At Ft. Delaware he became a student and specialized in classic literature and higher mathematics. At war’s end at Ft. Delaware, Foster signed an Oath of Allegiance to the United States on June 11, 1865. After doing so he returned home. His Oath of Allegiance describes him as having light complexion, dark hair, blue eyes, and a height of 5 ft. 7 inches .
First Marriage
Immediately after returning home to Itawamba County, Foster married what must have been his lady in waiting, Sarah Catherine McDonald. They were married on the 25th of July 1865 .
Sarah Catherine McDonald was born on November 8, 1845 in Lauderdale County Alabama.
While in Saltillo, Foster & Sarah had at least three children. They were, Della, born June 1866, daughter, Sidney Horatio, son, born July 2, 1868 and Thomas Fletcher, son, born Feb. 4, 1870.
Lee County was created from half of Itawamba County in 1866.
Foster was a planter and had 1000 acres of land near Saltillo . However, Mississippi Civil War Reconstruction Era pressures, high land taxes, and lack of labor to work the plantations forced Foster's family to move to Texas in search of a new l life. Traveling with Sarah's brother, James Henry McDonald they left Mississippi on October 17, 1870. Traveling for 30 days in a wagon drawn by oxen, they arrived at Elmo, Texas in Kaufman Co. There they joined Sarah's mother and father, Mary Rea (Polly) Beaver McDonald and Thomas McDonald (both buried in Elmo Cemetery), who had already moved to Texas in 1869.
In 1874, Foster built what was said to be the “first truly tenantable house" located in Elmo. This house was later converted into a dry goods and grocery store .
While in Texas, Foster and Sarah had at least 6 more children, 3 of which appeared on the census roles of 1880. They were: Dorintha Bela, daughter, born May 17, 1872, Lelia, daughter, born 1874, (Mary) Emma ,daughter, born June 6, 1875, Mahalee ,daughter, born sometime in late 1880 or 1881, Rosa, daughter, born July 1, 1880, and Lonnie Axon, son, born April 1884.
Tragedy
The F.A.Bonnett Family certainly was not spared their share of sorrows. One month short of her 6th birthday Mary Emma died on May 5, 1881 and is buried in Elmo Cemetery. Six years later, in the summer of 1887 Sarah Bonnett gave birth to Salliie Bonnett. Because of birth complications, Sallie lived only five days and was survived by her mother by only eight days when Sarah McDonald Bonnett died at the age of 41. Both mother and daughter are buried side-by-side at Elmo Cemetery near Mary Emma.
Second Marriage
After the death of his first wife, Foster Bonnett remarried. His second wife was a lady by the name of Mary J. Owens . They were married on December 6, 1891. Together they had only one child, a daughter, Blanche Bonnett, who was born November 12, 1894. Horrifically, Mary burned to death from an explosion or an accident with a coal oil lamp .
Third Marriage
Foster remarried yet again to Ella Euphemia BEAVERS FORD ENGLISH (found last name on website). on May 20, 1906 . They moved to Kleburg in Dallas County in 1907 and lived there until Foster Axon died of arsenic poison complicated with hypertrophy of the heart on June 10, 1918 . Foster is buried at Elmo cemetery near his first wife and daughters. A Confederate monument marks his grave.
Ella Bonnett died in her daughter's home (Linda Harper) at 4006 Tella St. Dallas Texas on October 5, 1929 .

527 Found in "The Annals of Upper Georgia Centered in Gilmer County", by George Gordon Ward (published date unknown), p. 211:

" Clontz (or Clonts)

D. C. Clontz, who lives, as we write this, in the Warlick sub-division, is the only Clontz in our local telephone book. He is descended from the pioneer Samuel Clontz, of whom our early historian, B. B. Quillian, has left some
record.

Mr. Quillian says Samuel Clontz settled "between Ensley Anderson and a mountain", probably in Cartecay district. This was several years before the Indians left. He made his home there for several years, at least.

His wife, as described by Quillian, was highly esteemed among neighbors, both for her personal traits and her sturdy common sense. She died in the early days. The couple raised a number of children, some of whom spent their lives
in Gilmer. Related families are with us still, also."

Samuel Clontz I was born Feb. 4, 1801. Sarah, his spouse, to whom he was married in 1822, was born Jan. 9, 1804, and died in 1868.

We list here some of the children of this esteemed couple. There was his eldest son, M. A., who became an acceptable minister of the Baptist faith. He was born May 31, 1823. For a number of years, too, he seems to have adhered to the faith of the Methodists. For it is said of M. A. that he went to Florida about the time of the Civil War and there became a presiding elder of their church. After the death of his first wife and a second marriage, he reportedly went back to the Baptists.

Dock Clontz was a brother of M. A. He was a Baptist minister, also. He was said to have been capable in this phase of his activities. He made his home in Whitfield, but is said to have left numerous relatives in Gilmer. By the early 1880's, Dock was becoming old, but he was sturdy for his age. Democratic in politics, he maintained church affiliation over a long period.

Other children of the same family were

William P.,
Samuel A. II,
Martin L.,
Peggy Jane,
Benjamin P., G.
Christian S. (who died in 1829),
Sarah L.,
John M. (died in 1863),
Mary L. A. (died in 1867),
Miligan C., who is said to have lived till Sept. 12, 1947.

The second marriage of Samuel A. Clontz I was 1870, when he wed Anna Arminda Kincaid,whose maiden surname had been Bearden. Only one child was issue of the marriage, a son named Rufus.

D. C. Clontz states that he lacks family records going back to Indian days or beyond, and that he knows nothing about the pioneer Samuel Clontz. He states, however,that his father was John W.Clontz,and had brothers Mike and Sam living in Boardtown for several years after this century began. This J. W. Clontz's father was also named John W. A John Clontz is listed among our veterans of the Mexican War.

Mike moved to the Isabella section of the Tennessee Copper basin in Polk county, Tennessee. Sam removed to Gordon county. Both men raised families in the new homes. Jane, a spinster sister of Mike and Sam, remained years longer in Boardtown, probably completing her life there.

The Clontzes usually seemed deeply interested in religion. And they were very energetic in any work they attempted to do. The high record in the church life of the 1880's of Mrs. Annnie E. (Clontz) Craigo is mention under the Craigo
family and elsewhere."

Found on p. 219, ibid; "Mrs. Annie E. (Oct. 25, 1822 - June 3, 1866) was the daughter of a pioneer immigrant named Clontz, born in Germany."

Note: Find this passage curious because "Annie" is not listed as a daughter of Samuel. If she is, she would be his oldest child...DAH.

531 Friday, February 16, 1945:

At dawn this morning, we started bombardment of Iwo Jima. We didn't get any return fire. We are going in closer tomorrow. They say they have shore batteries along the beach.

This island is the smallest we have hit yet, 3 miles long and 2 1/2 miles wide. Not much to it. We seen one plane all day. She tried to slip in on a cruiser but failed.

We haven't been to GQ all day. This is miserable weather down here. Almost froze this morning.

The radio is really blaring out about our carrier planes hitting Japan. Sure am glad I am not in that task force.

It was the first major battle of World War II to take place on Japanese homeland. The island of Iwo Jima was a strategic location because the US needed a place for fighter planes and bombers to land and take off when attacking Japan. Iwo Jima is a small island located 750 miles south of Tokyo, Japan.

533 Friday, October 20, 1944:

We landed troops this morning in Leyte at 8:45. Really a sight to see. We were 1000 yards from the beach. You could see Japs everywhere. We had a few dive bombing attacks. Nothing to speak of. They are landing 120,000 troops on these islands. There are about 2,000 Marines in the hills that are stranded here. They picked up three Filipinos yesterday. They said there were 20,000 guerillas in the hills waiting for arms.
This is the biggest landing they have had out here.

Rather a funny one happened this morning. We were firing phosphorous shells. It set fire to some Japs. They were beating the fire out with their hands. They shouldn't have bothered. The next one put it out for them.

Adolphus Ashberry, born 1 Dec 1894 [Family Bible, Census]
Hannah Carolyn, b. Dec 1896 [1900 census]
Mary J., b. Jan 1899 [1900 census]
Samuel, b. abt 1904 [age 6 on 1910 census]
Liddie (f), b. abt 1905 [age 5 on 1910 census]
James, b. abt 1907 [age 3 on 1910 census]

As soon as I get an opportunity, I will check with Lisa's dad to see if he disagrees or remembers anything about any of these.

Thanks again for your help.

Carl,

In the book "Early Lutheran Baptisms and Marriages in Southeastern Pennsylvania: The Records of Rev. John Casper Steover from 1730 to 1779", the marriage of Hironymus Glantz and Erna Barbara Mack is listed as Oct. 15, 1733 in Philidelphia.

The religion and place is news to me. There wasn't any Glantz baptisms mention in the book. However, it would be intersting to search the records of the baptisms and marriages in the Lutheran Churches in the Philidelphia area conducted by others than Rev. Stoever.

Hi David,

Barbara and I were in D. C. two weeks ago and spent an afternoon in the National Archives looking at 1906 "Cherokee" applications. Mahalia's application didn't give any indication that Jack, John Hembree was her brother. Letters in the file show she was requested to resubmit her application because they couldn't read the writing in the original application. She did, and of all things, I forgot to copy it.

I could not find Abraham Hembree's application. It had the same file # as Margaret's and wasn't with her file.

I did make a copy of Margaret's application. She did not list Jack Hembree as a half brother as Sarah Jane did. She did list Mary as a sibling (other family members did not) who died in 1904.

Monroe Hembree's application did not show any relationship to Abraham or Mahalia Hembree. He failed to show up for an appointment with an agent in Blue Ridge, Ga.

Do yo want Margaret's application?

Till next time, John R. and Barbara

Hi Cousin David.

I've found a new cousin whose gg grandfather is John W Clonts, son of "Johnnie." She states her grandfather, John H. Simmons, told her that John William is a Jr and that his father was John William Clonts Sr. This supports the D.C. Clontz statement found in "The Annals of Upper Georgia Centered in Gilmer County" by George G. Ward" p. 221 that John W."s father was also named John W. I sent a copy to you several years ago.

She also says that Sarah Jane's (sister of John W.) 1906 Cherokee application lists Christian Clonts and Peggy as her grandparents. If so, Christian and not George is our gg grandparent. I'll try to get a copy. She is asking if I think Christian is our gg grandfather and the brother of George. What do you think? Hate to lose George because we have some solid information on him thru his service and pension records. I thought these Cherokee applications would give some important information, but John W. and J. M. A, only spoke about Mahala's parents.

This cousin is Janice ? and lives in Powder Springs, Georgia, just northwest of Atlanta, email is TennisClay. Calling her this weekend.

Haven't talked with you in some time. Hope all is well.

The best, John R. Clonts in California

Hi, One thought is that Christian is John Christian and Adilen Helen is his
daughter. Fits with the 1820 Burke CO census where Christian has one female
26-44 and one female 45 plus. I don't have the census ages for 1810 where
Christian is listed as Cloonse.

Excerpt from :Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, Caldwell Co SixYears
1841-1847", compiled by Linda M. Staley and John O. Haw
Edition : "April Term 1843. Margaret Clontz allowed to take Sally Clontz
(pauper) as county charge. Rate: $30.00 per year until May."

My Note: Margaaret could be wife of Christian Clontz, perhaps Sally's uncle.
Christian died in 1841 but was in Burke Co 1840 census.

More information on James Harley Cantrell, there was another child of James
Harley Cantrell's and Cleo Ward. He was Andrew J. Cantrell. He was born
May, 1898. This was the same time when Cleo Ward died. she probably died
fairly young.

James Harley Cantrell, married Mary Elizabeth Bing in 1903. She was the
daughter of Louis G. Bing and Martha Ann Cantrell. Children of James and
Mary Elizabeth,
Edith M. Cantrell, bor 1904 in Dekalb County,Tn, died in 1997, she never
married.
Jack Cantrell, born about 1908 and Lewis Green Cantrell, born 1911 and died
1941.

I am probably confusing you, here are the siblings of James Harley Cantrell,
Julia Cantrell, born March 13, 1885 and died April 15, 1917 and is buried in
the Fuson Cemetery in Dekalb County,Tn, John Cantrell, born 1876 and married

Dear David,
Thanks for responding. The only Clontz info I know is what is in the
GenForum query. Laurah Ann Branch was always very secretive about her age.
Even her daughter, Rachel Lloyd, didn't know for sure. I'm surmising her
birth date to be 1860 due to the census info listing her as 6 mos. in June
1860 (when census was taken).
Laurah Ann Branch m. David William Lloyd (whose parents both came from Wales)
in Burke Co., NC 7-28-1897. She and David Lloyd are buried in Morganton, NC.
"Will" Lloyd travelled and lived in many states, including KY, IN, OH,
Montana.
L.A. Branch had an illegitimate child, Ernest, and D.W. Lloyd married her
when her son was under 4 yrs. old. The father might have been a McDowell.
DW and LA Lloyd had two other children: Jennie Lloyd (who died tragically
after falling down the stairs at age 4) and my grandmother, Rachel Lloyd b.
12-26-1901 d. 9-26-1992. Rachel Lloyd m. Thomas Wier Brown b. 3-6-1902 d.
1-22-1993 (he was b. in Haywood Co., NC). They had two girls, my mother and
her sister, still living in Asheville, NC.
The only other info I know is that Mary Ann Clontz pronounced her husband's
name "Jeems" (for James). He was in the Civil War and would ride off after
the war on his horse to meet up with his friend veterans. He would jump on
his horse, jump over the fence, and let out a Rebel yell, and off he went!
He had arthritis and she was always fearful he would fall off the horse and
be severely injured. The one photo I have of Mary Ann and James is a
duplicate and is fuzzy. She appears small (small frame and thin face),
perhaps blue eyes... though they may seem that way due to fading of the
photo. James Branch has a wide brow, blue eyes, medium build, and is about
4-5 inches taller than Mary Ann. I can definitely see my grandmother in his
features.
This is all the info I have. Unfortunately, I don't have any other Clontz
info other than the word of mouth speculation that her father may have been
Henry Clontz and mother Mahaley. My grandmother once tried some rudimentary
genealogy and may have come up with this per research instead of something
her mother told her... I just don't know.
Thanks for any help.
