Believe Laura and Lucian are siblings. Will link them as such until proven otherwise for ease in research.

Subject: Talbott-Farris

Date: Fri, 25 Jul 1997 23:12:00 -0700

From: Larry Taylor <wayne@taylsntufts.com>

Hi Ruby,

I was browsing through queries on the Washington Co. MO GenWeb site and saw your query and it rang a bell with me. While Talbott is not a name in my lines I knew I had seen it somewhere.Do you know where in IL Laura Farris was born?

My GG-grandfather, Lucian Farris was born in Franklin Co IL in 1820. On Jan 12, 1859 while a member of the Missouri State Legislature from Reynolds County he wrote a letter to his wife. The following is quoted from that letter:

"I recon you hav heard of Ben Talbott escape from Potosi he left their in inst at 8 o'clock at night he was 40 miles next morning from their making tracks for furand land I saw a friend to day that gave me the particulars that lives in the place the door was unlocked by some

unknown hand their was no one made any search for him he had loats of friends their I hope this will be a caushion to Ben & especially to his boys I think this aught to keep them out of bad company they are all well"

Could this be your Ben Talbott? If so then Laura could be related to Lucian. (His first daughter was named Laura, his second was named Nancy which was his wife's name.) Of course Laura could have been his mother's name. At this point its all speculation.

I would be interested your thoughts. (BTW my Taylor line is mostly Quaker, starting with Philip Taylor who arrived in PA in 1682 at the age of two. More on that later)

Sincerely,

Larry Taylor

{rsm Note:}

Lucian Nester Farris: Believe to be a brother of Laura Farris, wife of Benjamin Talbott.

Young John Farris probably a nephew found in 1860 census near Laura Talbott and her children

Mrs. Harris: - Unknown

{rsm note: This letter is a copy provided by a descendant of Lucian Farris who knew my interest in a Farris/Talbott connection. It would appear that "young John Farris" is the same as the one in the 1860 St. Francois Co., MO near Laura Farris Talbott. He was shown as "merchant" in that census - again giving credence to the relationship of these families.}

Capt. Ben Talbot:

Sir: I am instructed by Brig. Gen. M. Jeff Thompson to call your earnest attentin to the inclosed general orders.* He has heard with much indignation that you are carrying on an indiscriminate course of impressment, and that friends suffer as often as foes by your actions. He deisres me to arrue you, on his word of honor, that he will hold you strictly accountable for your action in these matters; or, to use his own owrds, "Tell Captain Talbot, by God, I'll hang the first man, be he private or officer, be he sworn in the service or not, who transgresses the inclosed general orders."

In 1858 Benjamin Talbot stabbed and killed a Mr. Rosebury at a circus at Old Mines. On the 12th of November of that year he was indicted for the murder, but made his escape from jail and went into the rebel army, where he waskilled near the close of the war.

p.1010

John B. Ross, a dealer in general merchandise and mineral at Old Mines, is a son of Silas M. Ross, a native of Hopkins County, Ky., who located in what is now Washington County, Mo., in 1833; he married Lucinda J. Silvers, who came to what is now Washington County previous to this century, and their three children are John B., Eliza, who married Joseph Bouchard, and Samuel C., who married Susan Casey. Silas M. Ross was a carpenter by trade. John B. Ross was born in Washington County March 19, 1838, and was reared on a farm. He enlisted in the Ninth Missouri Infantry, Confederate army, and took part in the pattles of Prairie Grove, Helena, and others of less importance, serving three years. After his return home he engaged in farming until 1879 when he commenced selling goods. February 8, 1859, he married Julia Talbot, a antive of Washington County, whose father is Benjamin Talbot. Mr. and Mrs. Ross are the parents of six children, viz.: John M., Frank E., Laura, Lawrence, Kennett and Rollie. As a result of economy and good management, Mr. Ross well merits the success that is his in his chosen occupation, and is doing a safe business.

MARCHING WITH THE ARMY OF THE WEST 1846-1848

By Abraham Robinson Johnson, Marcellus Ball Edwards, Philip Gooch Ferguson

pub. 1936 by The Arthur H. Clark Company, Glendale, CA

Diary of Philip Gooch Ferguson, 1847-1848

p.183

Jefferson Barrcks, June 3, 1847.... About the first of May last a requisition was made upon Missouri for additional troops to take the place of those now in Santa Fe... We held an election, and General A. Jones was electd captain; Dr. S. D. Mullowny, first lieutenant; George O. Hepburn second lieutenant; and Benjamin Talbot, second second lieutenant... (Note: The company was called the 'Rough and Ready Riifle Company'.

June 5. ... Wrote to [the] paper today by Colonel Brickey. Talbot, our second lieutenant, was placed under guard today for some words about the officers; says he'll resign. ...

June 21. ... An election was accordingly held, without giving he men time to canvass the matter, and the result was the Colonel P. O. Brickey, a priate, was eleted captain in place of Jones; Lieutenants Mulowny and Hepburn reelected without opposiiton; and McIntire in place of Lieutenant Talbot. ... Talbot got but one vote. ...At Columbia I found the company in great confusion from the fact that the election held at Fulton was said to be null, Captain Jones still retaining command. ...

July 18. The only incident worthy of record that occurred on the march today was a flare-up between the captain and Lieutenant Talbot... Today Lietenant Talbot had command of the front division, and some of the teams becoming worn out, had dropped behind; and the front division had got some distance ahead of the rear toward night....

August 2. ... Immediately after crossing, the captain had another quarrel with Talbot about his not keeping the company tgether, etc.

October 12. .. Strike tents and cross the river about 9 a.m. Camp one mile north of the little town of Joyita. About ten o'clodk Lieutenants Mullowny and Talbot, Seargeant Castleman, the three Johnsons, Lester, and myself rode to town to see a Mexican ...

November 21. Having heard that Lieutenant Talbot had a Mexican girl of great beauty at his quarters and was keeping her as a mistress, I went to his room, where I found her at breakfast with Lieutenants Mullowny and Talbot. This girl is but thirteen years old, has regular features, skin nearly white, light hazel eyes, and a slender form. Her appearance and manners are those of a child, and she does not possess that volumptuous beauty that many of the Spanish women do. While looking at her, I felt sorry for her situation, sorry that one so young should be so deeply engulfed in sin and vice....

November 25. First Seargeant Castleman appointed seargeant major, Colonel Brickey first sergeant, and U. P. Johnson second corporal in place of McCabe, who was reduced by order of Talbot for some blunder the latter made the other morning in guard mounting....

November 26. ... Talbot, who went with them asked me to loan my horse. Upon my refusing to so so, he said he would force me and my horse both to go. I replied that no such a looking officer could force me without a regular detail, etc. For these words, which he considered disrespectful, he ad me arrested, and for the first time I was put in the guardhouse. I as kept in only about half an hour, however, for Lieutenant Mullowny had me released as soon as he heard of it. I consider that this was unjust and tyrannical, and it will cause me to remember Talbot for some time to come. Mullowny and Hepburn assured me that they would prefer charges against Talbot as soon as he got back.

November 28. Having been requested at various times by several of the mento draw up a remonstrance against the conduct of Lieutenant Talbot in living publicly with his Mexican whore, I wrote a short petition to Colonel Rals, staing that the company felt themselves disgraced by the conduct of their officer and caling upon him to use his influence and authority in having Talbot broke of his commission. This petition was signed by seventy-two men, several objecting on the ground that Talbot owed them money. ....

December 1. ... While I was making preparations to go with the latter party, Corporal Mahan came up and arrested me, having been ordered by Talbot to put me in the guardhouse. ... He replied that Talbot had been looking for me and told me to go and see him. I did so, and Talbot said he had not wanted to see me; so one of them told a fib. I asked Talbot if it would suit his purpose to postpone my imprisonment till I get back. He said he had no objectiosn if the colonel would allow it. Mullowny and Hepburn then came in, and after the three had talked together for some time, Talbot told me I could go.

December 6. ... The reply of the colonel was that the charge was insufficient to break Talbot, tht he disapproved of his conduct, and appreciated the motives of the company; and he sent for Talbot and administered to him a severe rebuke. Talbot, on hearing of the petition, made severe threats against the signers, threatening to put the whole company in the guardhouse. But not a man was frightened by such boasts or wished to recede from the step taken.

December 15. .... Talbot dicarded his woman a few days ago, and Hepburn is nowkeeping her at his quarters.

On the Saturday after I had declined the acceptance of a colonel's commission, Captain Benjamin Talbot came to me with about twenty of his men, and offered me the command o fhis company to go and join General Price at Springfield, saying he would reign in my favor and serve under me in the ranks. He had been under my comman in Mexico, where he was a lieutenant and knew me well. He seemed greatly disappointed at not being able to induce me to accept the command, as his company consisted of over one hundred young men enlisted in my neighborhood. The next morning (Sunday) he took post in front of a small Baptist Church, on the sound end of my farm, and as the congregation generally rode their best animals there, he seized them as fast as they arrived and in that manner got possession of all the best horses and mules in the vicinitty of my farm and factory. Some objected to the proceeding, but he made the usual plea of tyrants, "military necessity", which was the only satisfaction he offered. This was the beginning of a series of robberies which were continued by both parties for the four following years in that vicinity. The following day he took the horse he had seized to my blacksmith shp in my absence, and compelled my blacksmith to shoe them all with my shoes and nails, and at evening threatened to hang the smith for saing this was "an act of bold robbery". He also took from my store all my ammunition, together with my shot-gun and apparatus.

I am curious if the CARTER, LEE, THOMPSON names are ancestral. We know that there is an early THOMPSON family through the Talbott line, but both families use this in their children's naming patterns.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY --

One man seriously cut, and another killed!

A horrible tragedy transpired at Coleman's Store, Liberty township, in this county, on Saturday last, resulting In the infliction of seven serious knife wounds upon one party, and the instantaneous killing, by a pistol shot, of another.

During Saturday afternoon a. considerable crowd had assembled in the vicinity of Mr. Firmin Coleman's store, to participate in a shooting match. At about three o'clock, according to our Information, many of the party having become intoxicated and boisterous, Jasper Vandever - a young man who had not heretofore borne a good character, -- made an assault (which we are assured was entirely unprovoked) upon the person of James Talbott, who had been engaged In the match.

That part of the affair not having been up to the present time made the subject of legal investigation, we are unable to give the details. In the course of the difficulty, however, Vandever Inflicted upon Talbott seven severe stabs with a large, ugly looking pocket knife.

The injured man was placed on the porch of Mr. Coleman's store In a bleeding, fainting condition, and medical aid summoned. A little later In the afternoon Hiram Talbott, a younger brother of the victim of the first affray, returned to the neighborhood from a visit to the residence of his sister, on Black river. At the store of Mr. A. L. Edwards, about two miles from the scene of bloodshed he was first Informed of the affair, by a bystander. A young acquaintance, Marion Walser, according to the evidence adduced, then proposed to Hiram Talbott to go to the place where his brother was supposed to be lying in a dying condition, and kill Vandever.

The two rode off together to Coleman's store, one of them borrowing a pistol on the way and Walser carrying it, arrived upon the spot and in the immediate presence of the wounded man, another scene of blood was quickly enacted. Just after dismounting, Walser drew forth the pistol and handed it to young Talbott. Vandever was advancing upon the porch at the moment - It Is stated by some with a show to attack another man who had In some way offended him. As young Talbott-saw him advancing, he accosted him with a peremptory challenge, to which, however, Vandever did not seem to heed, at all. With his first attempt Talbott did not discharge his pistol - it snapping; Instantly recocking it he fired, and with but too deadly aim. With the report Vandever fell forward upon his face, and with a gasp or two expired.

Talbott, seeing the fearful result of his passion, threw down his pistol, mounted his horse, and hurriedly rode away. Walser followed soon after, and before the authorities could be apprised of the fact the two made good their escape under cover of night. A subsequent examination of the body of Vandever discovered that the pistol ball had entered the right side, and passing through is heart, come out upon the left. The weapon used was a clumsy, single-barreled pistol, made from the breech of a common rifle barrel, very plainly mounted and about 44 calibre. In Vandevere's pocket was found the knife with which he cut Talbott, and projecting from his boot leg an iron poker, both of which, together with the pistol, are now In the possession of Sheriff Breckenridge. Beside the stabs received by James Talbott, in his encounter with Vandever, the latter bruised him severely in the breast by repeated blows with a rock. He has, however, so far recovered from his injuries as to have been removed to his home, and is now reported in a fair way for recovery.

Of the slain and his slayer, it Is but just for us to repeat in this connection what we have heard Iterated and reiterated by their neighbors; that while Vandever was a vicious, dangerous man, especially under the influence of intoxicating liquors, as was very frequently the case, Talbott has been known as a peaceable and strictly temperate young man, easily influenced, and of a very Impulsive temperament.

No Issue of marriage between Olive Cole and James Carter Talbott

The eighty-eighth birthday anniversary of J. C. .Talbott, No. 503 North Tennessee Avenue, was celebrated with a dinner and pleasant evening Frida, February 25. The honor guest is one of the oldest residents in Carterville and has a large circle of friends. Among those present were H. C. Talbott, his daughter Mrs. Ella Prew of Tacoma, Wash.; his grandson, James Talbott; his granddaughter, Mrs. Carl Pinkard and children; his niece, Mrs. Fred Gibson and son, Jack of Picher, Okla. [handwritten is: R.R. Ross - served as usher]

No newspaper or date shown but for his 88th birthday - this would have been 1921. Ella Prew was my grandmother and she had married a man named Prew after my grandfather died.

[Note by Ruby Simonson McNeill: If Mrs. Fred Gibson is James C. Talbott's niece, she must either be Laura Gibson b. ca. 1838 (d/o Benjamin Talbott and Laura Farris Talbott]. However, the records I have for her are that she married a Levi Gibson not a Fred. However, they did have a son named John (nickname often shown as Jack for a boy named John). John was b. ca. 1864. They did have a son named Freddy. Perhaps it meant James C. Carter's great nephew, Fred and his wife. Something to consider anyway.]

THE EVENT OF HIRAM P. TALBOTT KILLING JASPER VANDEVER TO AVENGE STABBING OF JAMES C. TALBOTT AS RELATED IN THE NEWSPAPER ACCOUNT.

Microfilm borrowed from the Missouri State Historical Society

Washington County, Missouri

Washington County Journal - Potosi, Thursday, July 21, 1870

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY -- One man seriously cut, and another killed!

A horrible tragedy transpired at Coleman's Store, Liberty township, in this county, on Saturday last, resulting in the infliction of seven serious knife wounds upon one party, and the instantaneous killing, by a pistol shot, of another.

During Saturday afternoon a considerable crowd had assembled in the vicinity of Mr. Firmin Coleman's store, to participate in a shooting match. At about three o'clock, according to our information, many of the party having become intoxicated and boisterous, Jasper Vandever - a young man who had not heretofore borne a good character, -- made an assault (which we are assured was entirely unprovoked) upon the person of James Talbott, who had been engaged in the match.

That part of the affair not having been up to the present time made the subject of legal Investigation, we are unable to give the details. In the course of the difficulty, however, Vandever inflicted upon Talbott seven severe stabs with a large,ugly looking pocket knife.

The Injured man was placed on the porch of Mr. Coleman's store In a bleeding, fainting condition, and medical aid summoned. A little later In the afternoon Hiram Talbott, a younger brother of the victim of the first affray, returned to the neighborhood from a visit to the residence of his sister, on Black river. At the store of Mr. A. L. Edwards, about two miles from the scene of bloodshed he was first Informed of the affair, by a bystander. A young acquaintance, Marion Walser, according to the evidence adduced, then proposed to Hiram Talbott to go to the place where his brother was supposed to be lying in a dying condition, and kill Vandever.

The two rode off together to Coleman's store, one of them borrowing a pistol on the way and Walser carrying It, arrived upon the spot and in the immediate presence of the wounded man, another scene of blood was quickly enacted. Just after dismounting, Walser drew forth the pistol and handed it to young Talbott. Vandever was advancing upon the porch at the moment -It is stated by some with a show to attack another man who had In some way offended him. As young Talbott saw him advancing, he accosted him with a peremptory challenge, to which, however, Vandever did not seem to heed, at all. With his first attempt Talbott did not discharge his pistol - It snapping; Instantly re-cocking It he fired, and with but too deadly aim. With the report Vandever fell forward upon his face, and with a gasp or two expired.

Talbott, seeing the fearful result of his passion, threw down his pistol, mounted his horse, and hurriedly rode away. Walser followed soon after, and before the authorities could be apprised of the fact the two made good their escape under cover of night. A subsequent examination of the body of Vandever discovered that the pistol ball had entered the right side, and passing through is heart, come out upon the left. The weapon used was a clumsy, single-barreled pistol, made from the breech of a common rifle barrel, very plainly mounted and about 44 calibre. In Vandevere's pocket was found the knife with which he cut Talbott, and projecting from his boot leg an Iron poker, both of which, together with the pistol, are now in the possession of Sheriff Breckenridge. Beside the stabs received by James Talbott, in his encounter with Vandever, the latter bruised him severely In the breast by repeated blows with a rock. He has, however, so far recovered from his injuries as to have been removed to his home, and is now reported In a fair way for recovery.

Of the slain and his slayer, it is but just for us to repeat in this connection what we have heard Iterated and reiterated by their neighbors; that while Vandever was a vicious, dangerous man, especially under the Influence of Intoxicating liquors, as was very frequently the case, Talbott has been known as a peaceable and strictly temperate young man, easily Influenced, and of a very impulsive temperament.

Book: Descendants of Benjamin Carter of Missouri

Cynthia Chilton (Mrs. Charles H. Farris)

p.70-71

..... my parents, Cynthia and Charles Farris, both grew up in the area of Mill Spring, Wayne County, Missouri. Their families were all early settlers and knew each other. I don't know specifically how they met and became interested in each other. I realize now that they were very private people and these were things they did not share with us, especially since we did not ask.

My father, Charles H. Farris, was born in Wayne County, Missouri on June 16th, 1875, in the vicinity of Mill Spring and Leeper, Missouri. Dad always said he had no middle name - just an initial. But Grandma Prude told us she named him Herman for a cute little boy in a neighboring German family. His grandfather was William T. Leeper, who was known as Captain Leeper after his service in the Confederate Army. He opened and operated the bank at Leeper. It was later managed by his son Sid and by Sid's sons Clyde and Woodrow. my father's mother was Prudence Caroline Leeper, who was born in 1855 and died March 23rd, 1935 in Eugene, Lane County, Oregon.

She married Lucien Rush Farris and they had three sons - my father, Charles H. Farris, W. T. "Buzz" Farris, Jr. and Lucian Rush Farris. Grandpa Farris died June 24, 1880. Uncle Rush was born some months after his father died, but Grandma never talked about hardships or complained about her lot. The closest she came to it was to tell us that when she lived in Texas (I have no idea when that was) they would really want to eat some greens after a long winter and they would make sorrel pie. She later married Hiram P. Talbott and they had two sons, Clarence and Robert Lee Talbott. Grandma Prude had lost two of her sons before her second husband, Hiram Talbott, died in 1912. The three survivors, Dad, Uncle Rush Farris and Uncle Clarence Talbott were all out here in Eugene. Then after 1918, she rented the farm in Missouri and came to Oregon. She never went back except to visit her family.

So Grandma Prude made the rounds, spending two months with each family. it was wonderful for her grandchildren. She told great stories about relatives and neighbors in Missouri.

She told us that during the Civil War, when she and her brothers and sisters were teenagers and younger, and their father was in the Confederate Army, Union troops that were foraging for horses and food, descended on the Leeper farm. The boys hid in the woods and their stepmother, who was ill in bed, had the girls bring the meat from the smokehouse and hide it in her bed. The soldiers took the horses and cows and what food they could find. Grandma's sister, Sally, was not ready to give up her horse. She pleaded with the Major in charge to let her keep him. She was so insistent that he reluctantly agreed. Grandma Prude was a liberated woman, or should I say a pioneer woman. She was very tolerant, not judgmental, independent and fun to be with. Dad was much like her. They each had a good sense of humor. one of his sons-in-law aptly described Dad as having "that quiet air of authority". Dad finished the 7th grade and then went to work. His father (Lucien Rush Farris Sr.) was killed - kicked in the head by a horse - when Dad was 5 years old and I guess he grew up fast.

It was sawmills and logging that brought Dad to Oregon. When he was 16, he had his own team and was logging in Missouri. He came to Rainier, Columbia County, Oregon which is on the Columbia River between Portland and Astoria, probably in 1902. Mother was attending the College in Cape Girardeau, taught school for a year, and then came to Rainier in 1904. Dad was superintendent of the Wilson-Case sawmill in Rainier. They were married at the residence of Judge Doan in St. Helens, County seat of Columbia County, on March 6, 1904. (This information from newspaper clipping in the Bible of Prudence Farris-Talbott) Ruth and Bob were born in Rainier.

Lucien Rush Farris, Jr., who was called Rush, came to Oregon while my parents were living in Rainier. He and Dad opened a store, Farris Brothers. Uncle Rush managed the store and Dad stayed on at the mill.

Dad and Mother moved to Kalama, Cowlitz County, Washington which was almost directly across the Columbia River from Rainier. This was after December 1908 when Bob was born in Rainier and before April 1910 when I was born in Kalama. Dad was superintendent of the Case mill there.....
