"Early History of Cope Grove Community"
by I.T. Goodnight, Wellington, Texas

East of Mountain Creek were: (in the Valley Community) Robert Ground, Jacob Boydston, Isaac Lowe, Kirb Wilson, W.S. Rickets, Jim Holland, Isaac Holland and his brother Tom were just boys in those days, and Iddo Cope and his son J. B. Cope. Iddo's other sons were Tom and Rube Cope.

All the above men possessed all of the requirements necessary to overcome the hardships of settling a new country.

Mary Laura Holland:

"My father and mother -- James B. Holland and Malinda Boydston were born and married in Kentucky. They had ten children -- 8 boys and 2 girls. Three of the boys died in infancy. The oldest, Benjamin and William, died in Kentucky. Afterwards my parents moved to Tazewell County, Ill., lived there a couple of years and then moved to Knox County. They remained there until I was six years old and then moved to Texas.

"When we came to Texas we settled in the southwest corner of Dallas County, five miles northeast of Cedar Hill, in a valley called Mountain Creek Valley. There my father and mother lived the rest of their lives.

"When we first came to Texas we were on the frontier. There were plenty of deer, antelope, bear, wild turkeys, coons, opossums, and wild cats, panthers and foxes.

"We moved here with Uncle Isaac Lowe's family. There were 21 of us all together and we lived in one little house sixteen feet square until father and the boys managed to cut logs and put up another house eighteen feet square a month later."

April 16, 1866, James B. Holland purchased 205 acres of land near Mansfield, Texas. Mordeca Franklin & Martha Vaught Holland settled on this land. Mordeca died suddenly when Ira was only 2 years old.

Morreta Weatherford writes 14 Dec, 1996: "I found a book entitled 'In the Hills of the Pennyroyal,' Horton, Gen. 976.9732H at the Fort Worth Public Library. This book states that the numerous Holland clan of Kentucky was from the Pendleton District of South Carolina -- Briton, William and Hezekiah Holland had arrived in western Kentucky in the 1790s. It mentions that they operated a tanning yard at Allen Springs, pg. 72. It goes on to state on pg. 74 that William Holland settled in the southern part of Barren County near Long Creek about 1810 (15). This area became part of Allen County in 1815 and the settlement around his homestead became known as Holland. There is a town called Holland, Kentucky, in Allen County, Ky. I am going to guess that James B. and Malinda Holland named their first child, William, for his father, and their second child, of course, is named Benjamin for her father Benjamin Boydstun. According to a DAR book that gives grave locations of Revolutionary War patriots, a John Holland from South Carolina is buried in Kentucky. I have misplaced this information and will have to look it up again. My next research will be to check and see if these two are related, perhaps John Holland being James B. Holland's grandfather and William being his father. Operating a tanning yard goes with settling on a frontier and hunting, and William Holland would be the right age and in the right location in Kentucky to be James B. Holland's father. This is just intuition and I will attempt to prove or disprove this information. On the Kentucky Biographies of George Allison Holland that you sent me, there is a statement made in that article that three brothers came from England, and settled in Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina.** George Allison Holland was of the Maryland branch. I think James B. Holland may have been from the South Carolina branch, but I don't know yet. That's my newest trail to research."

**Note that the line of Hollands who settled in Clay County, Missouri, and married into the line of William Boydston (brother of James Sr.) show a similar origin, and we may yet find that they are all related. The first generation of this family was Benjamin Holland, b. about 1740 in the Netherlands. He came to America before 1758 and settled on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The story, as told by one of his grandsons, is that 7 brothers came to America from the Netherlands in the late 1750s. One of these was a British sympathizer and went to the Carolinas. Some also went to South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi, and some went into Virginia and Kentucky. More on this family at Benjamin Holland.

      John Bircher Holland

On April 20, 1997, Moretta writes:

"I just wanted to let you know that I hit 'pay dirt' this time...as you can see Benjamin Holland is the father of James, William, John, Mordicia (one document has Mordicia, one has Mordica or Mordeca) and Margaret. Since the man is identified as John Holland on the Green County, Ky. 1810 Census and identified as Benjamin on the court action papers, I think his name is probably John Benjamin Holland or Benjamin John Holland. At least this puts my research back on the right tract, opens many doors, and I will continue on from there. He probably died about 1814 and his wife died in 1822."

She encloses a Circuit Clerk suit summary showing infant heirs at law of Benjamin Holland, deceased. An accompanying (very difficult to read) deposition by John Atwell taken 11 Aug 18_6 (looks like a 9, but that can't be right) speaks of having moved to place adjoining the land in question in 1813, and of the "Widow Holland" moving back to the land in 1814 and living on the land until she died in the year 1822.

The dispute apparently was over title to the land. A William Lile sold the 100 acres of land to Holland in March 1809, and executed a bond for a conveyance by (general?) warranty which convey..to...(unreadable, in fold and black) ...on or before 1 Jul 1908. The deceased paid L200, in his lifetime. "Nevertheless the said Lile who is made a defendant to this bill regardless of honesty and morality hath failed to comply...his contract in the lifetime of your Orators father (Holland) nor has he since the death of your Orators father (Holland) with your Orators who are the (only legal?) heirs of said Benjamin Holland Decd. But said Lile has sold the said land to a certain Alexander McCauley who is also made a defendant hereto he well knowing that your orators father in his lifetime had purchased the same (...a conveyance of said Lile.."

The Green County Kentucky Clerk in her letter mentions finding in Deed Book 12, p. 294 dated 4 Jul 1827: Commissioners for James, John, William Mordica and Margaret Holland selling 96 acres of land in Green County on Little Barren River.

Louminda Roberts Torbett posted a notice at the Boydstun/Boydston family page on the Internet 1 Jan 1998 that she is a great-granddaughter of this couple through her mother, who was a Holland. She gives no further information on her family. Her email address at that time was torbett@ma.ultranet.com

90. JACOB GARDNER⁷ BOYDSTUN (BENJAMIN G.⁶, JAMES⁵, DAVID⁴ BOYDSTON, WILLIAM³ BOYLSTON, THOMAS², THOMAS¹) was born 24 Jan 1812 in Russellville, Logan Co, KY, and died 25 May 1899 in Pleasant Valley, Dallas Co, TX. He married (1) DRUSILLA GROUND 27 Aug 1833 in Bowling Green, Warren Co, KY, daughter of ROBERT GROUND and RHODA LONG. She was born 11 Jul 1811 in Mercer Co KY, and died 05 Feb 1856 in Pleasant Valley, Dallas Co, TX. He married (2) SARAH LOUISA WILSON 04 Oct 1862 in Dallas Co TX Book AB; by J.M. Patterson C.J., daughter of GEORGE WILSON and ELIZABETH LAY. She was born 1824 in "Lou" b. Murphreesboro, TN, and died 1908 in Dallas Co, TX.

Notes for JACOB GARDNER BOYDSTUN:
Jacob Gardner Boydstun was born in Kentucky on January 24, 1812, the son of Benjamin and Mary Ground Boydstun. On August 27, 1833, he married Drusilla Ground, and on their wedding day, the couple joined members of the Boydstun, Lowe, Holland, Dowdy, Ground, and Goodnight families and moved to Abingdon, Knox County, Illinois.

Jacob and Drusilla Boydstun had seven children born in Illinois - Henry, Mary Margaret, Rhoda E., Robert Ground, Julia Ann, Nancy Jane, and Susan Caroline.

Harassed by illness and failed crops, several of the younger settlers began looking for a new home. Perhaps differing opinions on the upcoming Civil War caused these families, including Jacob and Drusilla Boydstun, to make the Great Move to Texas in the spring of 1848. Indeed, the kinsmen who stayed in Illinois supported the Union, while those, who moved to Texas supported the Confederacy. The Boydstuns moved in two wagons,; one contained tools and farm implements, driven by Robert Ground Boydstun with his father beside him, and the second contained Drusilla and the family, and was driven by Henry Boydstun.

The trip from Illinois to the new state of Texas took six weeks by boat and wagon train, and once there, the families camped near Dallas. In the early morning, the men mounted their horses for a look around. They traveled about 20 miles southwest from Dallas and came to a large cedar break and a small range of hills rising majestically from the rolling prairie, with a fertile valley watered by a stream the Indians had named Mountain Creek. Prairie grasses were as high as a man on horseback. Texas Rangers aided the exploration by dragging logs chained behind their horses, flattening the grass to provide overland passage.

Beside the creek, Boydstun erected a "Big Room" built of cedar logs. As time went by, more rooms, halls, and long porches were added, and better windows and doors replaced old ones. But the rock chimney and the "Big Room" made from cedars on the hill remained unchanged for 72 years until it was destroyed by fire in 1920.

It was not long after the family arrived that Henry was kicked by a horse and killed, at the young age of 13.

In 1850, Boydstun's land was surveyed and a land certificate was issued in the Peters Colony of Texas for 640 acres in southwest Dallas County.

Two more children were born in Texas, Sarah M. Boydstun (1850 - died before 1852), and Martha Virginia Boydstun in 1852. On February 5, 1856, Drusilla Ground Boydstun died and was buried on the family farm.

On March 15, 1862, Robert Ground Boydstun enlisted as a private in Company A, 19th Regiment, Texas Cavalry, Confederate Army. He was admitted to the Confederate Hospital at Shreveport on February 13, 1864, and returned home after a lingering illness. He died in 1868.

October 4, 1862, Jacob G. Boydstun married again, to Sarah Louisa Wilson, the widow of Andrew Jackson Vaught. She had six Vaught children, three of whom became cousins, aunts, and uncles, as well as step-brothers and sisters, through marriages to the Boydstun, Holland, and Poe families. Jacob and Lou Wilson Boydstun had two children: James and Sarah Louisa.

The dates of birth, marriage, and death were recorded in the fmaily Bible brought from Abingdon, Illinois, to Pleasant Valley. The Bible reposed in the "Big Room" from 1848 until 1899, and it was given to his youngest child, Martha V. Dukes, upon his death. At her death in 1903, the Bible was given to Nancy Jane Davie, and then to Laura Davie Martin. In 1931, the Bible was given to Roberta Dukes Richardson, but could not be recovered from her husband's home when he died in 1969.

In 1870, Jacob Boydstun gave three acres of his land to build a church and cemetery, which became known as Pleasant Valley Cemetery. Four family members had been buried there already - Sarah, Drusilla, Henry, and Robert. Rhoda died in 1870 and is buried there.

Wm. Lawrence by deed to J. B. D. Boydstun, Vol. M, page 83. Inst 5 Dec 1873. Filed 17 Dec 1873. 162 acres in C. L. Dotson Survey.

In September 1894, the Illinois and Texas Boydstuns reunited at a gathering at the Boydstun farm at Pleasant Valley. Jacob G. Boydstun died on May 26, 1899, and is buried on the land he gave for a cemetery. Today, all that remains of the Pleasant Valley community is the cemetery where the Boydstuns, their kin, and their neighbors are buried.

In the cemetery at Pleasant Valley, the four surviving daughters in 1899 erected a monument to their dead: Drusilla Ground Goydstun, 1856, Robert Ground Boydstun (1864?), and Jacob G. Boydstun, 1899.

"Early History of Cope Grove Community"

East of Mountain Creek were: (in the Valley Community) Robert Ground, Jacob Boydston, Isaac Lowe, Kirb Wilson, W.S. Rickets, Jim Holland, Isaac Holland and his brother Tom were just boys in those days, and Iddo Cope and his son J. B. Cope. Iddo's other sons were Tom and Rube Cope.

All the above men possessed all of the requirements necessary to overcome the hardships of settling a new country.

Notes for SARAH LOUISA WILSON:
On April 19, 1858, about 3 in the afternoon, a great black cloud appeared over the horizon near Cedar Hill and became a black funnel that raged through the town. Louisa, who had sold a cow that morning, had put the twenty-dollar gold piece in her apron pocket. When she saw the tornado, she gathered her children and they ran, hand in hand, from the house. The six had made it only halfway across the yard when the funnel approached. They lay on the ground. A wagon was blown across the yard, but stopped just short of them. No one was hurt, but the strong winds had blown Louisa's apron along with her gold piece off her body and swept it away. The next morning a neighbor found her apron about a mile away hanging in a tree, with the gold piece still in the pocket, and returned it to her.

After her second husband died in 1899, Louisa went to live with the Hence Poe family, which was the family of her daughter Nancy Elizabeth/Ervin Vaught Poe.

Hence Poe, Louisa's grandson, remembered that she smoked a pipe, and every evening after supper, she would take a coal of fire and light her pipe and sit by the fire and smoke it.

In 1908, Jay Poe, Nancy Poe, and William Silas Pie, Sr. all went to Louisa's funeral in a wagon pulled by a double team of horses. Maggie Lee did not attend because she was expecting her third child, Edna.

Louisa should appear on the Dallas County, Texas Census of 1900, although I have not researched it. She is located ED 142, Sheet 20, Line 38.

Children of JACOB BOYDSTUN and DRUSILLA GROUND are:

HENRY⁸ BOYDSTUN, b. 1834, Abingdon, Knox Co, IL; d. 1848, Pleasant Valley, Dallas Co, TX.

Notes for HENRY BOYDSTUN:
Roberta Dukes had no knowledge of this child until she began compiling information on the family. She learned that when her mother was born (the youngest, Martha Virginia), Jacob Boydstun said, "Now I have a girl for every day in the week and a boy for Sunday."

While we knew this son was named Henry, the 1850 Death Index (cojoined with the 1850 US Census) gives his name as William H. Boydston, age 15, died October 1850, from a kick from a horse. This record gives the death location as Tarrant County, Texas.

There is a marker for him at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery, placed years after his death.

MARY MARGARET BOYDSTUN, b. 10 Oct 1836, Abingdon, Knox Co, IL; d. 25 May 1921, Midland, Midland Co, TX; m. WILLIAM HENRY WOLCOTT, 28 Mar 1867, Dallas, Co, TX; Triple Ceremony at Home; md by T. A. Witherspoon, ELD; b. 29 Nov 1843, Alabama; d. 26 Mar 1927, Midland, Midland Co, TX.

Notes for MARY MARGARET BOYDSTUN:
Mary Margaret Boydstun was about 12 years old when she came with her parents to Texas in 1848. Traveling in the same train with her uncles and aunts and numerous cousins from Abingdon, Illinois. It was an eventful trip and one she never grew tired of relating to her nieces in later life.

She was 20 when her mother died and the role of mother fell on her young shoulders, to comfort, to administer to the needs of the young sisters and advise the older members of her father's household. With loyalty and tender affection the sisters regarded her for 65 years, even the nieces and nephews were admonished to respect her.

Notes for WILLIAM HENRY WOLCOTT:
From William F. Dukes:

Uncle Henry had an iron fence around his house. He went to town every day and jumped the fence. Said that kept him young.

Henry Wolcott had a brother nicknamed "the Millionaire Rancher" from the Midland, Texas area.

Henry Wolcott served in the Confederate Army.

The Wolcotts had no children. Mary Margaret was 20 when her mother died, and declined to marry until all of her younger sisters were married, except Martha Virginia. Martha Virginia came to live with the Wolcotts when they lived on a ranch in Ellis County, Texas, situated on Village Creek, near Waxahachie. They all moved to Tarrant County about the year 1870 where Wolcott purchased a large tract of land lying near the town of Mansfield, and built for his wife a beautiful home. Subsequently, in 1902, they sold the property and moved to Hereford, Texas. At that time, his ranch in the west was the last one inhabitated in that vicinity until entering New Mexico. He disposed of the ranch and bought several sections of land at Midland, Texas, where they lived 20 years. Martha Virginia was married in the Wolcott home near Mansfield, Texas, in 1873.

iii.

ROBERT GROUND BOYDSTUN, b. 1839, Abingdon, Knox Co, IL; d. 1868, Pleasant Valley, Dallas Co, TX.

Notes for ROBERT GROUND BOYDSTUN:
Robert Ground Boydstun, the first son of Jacob Gardner Boydstun and his wife, Drusilla Ground, was born near Abingdon, Illinois, in the year 1839. With his brother Henry, shared the honor of driving his parents' wagon team to Texas in the "Great Move."

From Civil War records at Washington, D.C., the following services were issued:

"Robert G. Boydstun, private, Company a., 19th Regiment, Texas Cavalry, Confederate Army. Enlisted March 15th, 1862 at Waxahachie, Texas, age 23 years. He is shown to have been admitted to C.S.A. General Hospital at Shreveport, Louisiana on Feb. 13, 1864, with Intermitten Fever and no later records have been found. There are no muster rolls on file in this office subsequent to the date of admittance to the hospital of that company.

(Signed) Brigadier General James K. Kinley
Acting the Adjutant General, 1933"

Robert Ground Boydstun, after a lingering illness in the hospital at Shreveport, was dismissed and allowed to return to his father's house. He died the following year, 1868, and was buried in the family cemetery at Pleasant Valley, Texas.

NOTE: Robert Ground Boydstun died two years before his parents gave the ground for the cemetery.
