Descendants of Thomas Mackie
11.JANE3 MACKIE (WILLIAM2, THOMAS1) was born in Georgia.She married HUGH NUGENT Abt. 1820.He was born Abt. 1796 in Louisiana, and died February 13, 1854 in RapidesParish, Lousiana.
Notes for JANE MACKIE:
NOTE;There has been no documentation for this union.Family tradition is the source.William M. Mugent and Tousette Hollingsworth reared a foster son, Alvin L. Lilley, who stated that Hugh Nugent and Jane Mackie were the parents of William M. Nugent.Most of William M. Nugent'sdescendants accept this as fact.
The will of William Mackie (Jr.) lists as a legatee his sister Jane Nugent.We know from1820U. S. Census of Rapides Parish, Louisiana, that Hugh wasshown as 16 and under 26, with a female of comparable age and an older female, 45 years of upwards.
We know his second wife was Mary Price, who was shown to be 40 years old in 1850.One has to deduce that his second wife would have only been 10 years old in 1820.She,
Mary Price, could not have been the mother William M. Nugent who was born in 1822.
In the 1830 Census of Rapides Parish, the female listed in Hugh's household that was of the age to be his wife,of 20 and under 30 years, would not agree with the female in Hugh's household in 1820.
The abstract of theobituary for Hugh Nugent that appeared in the NEW ORLEANS ADVOCATE, a publication of the Methodist Church, printed in New Orleans, La., 1851-1855, states:
"March 8, 1854 -- Died in Rapides Parish, La., 13 February 1854, Mr. Hugh Nugent, in his 59th year.Leaves wife and nine children."
The 7th U. S. Census (1850) of Rapides Parish, Louisiana show Hugh Nugent
with his wife, Mary, and seven children.Norris, the oldest son, is shown to be 18 years of age;that would make his year of birth 1832.
Efforts to identify the other child, the ninth of Hugh Nugent's children, have led me to include this information without any proof but within the time line.With only that to go on, but without any definitive proof:
On pages 31 1nd 32 of THREE PIONEER RAPIDES FAMILIES, A GENEALOGY, by George Mason Graham Stafford, the following appears:
"....Anderson Leonard Chafin and Sarah Ann Providence Rutledge had a number of children, among whom were Emma, Winburn, Mary Susan, and Robert Chafin...............
Winburn Chafin, better known as 'Winn,' married Martha Nugent."
Conveyance records of Rapides Parish, dated 16 December 1882, show that W. R. Nugent and Mrs. Martha Ann Chafin, wife of Winn Chafin - 'her said husband' resident of Avoyelles Parish, sold to C. E. Gautier "the North East quarter of Section 2, Township 5 North, of Range 2 East, District North of Red River, Parish of Rapides......"
Winborn L. Chaffey and Martha, his wife, were listed in the 1860 Census of Avoyelles Parish in the household of Michael Nugent.The relationship, if any, between Michael Nugent and Martha Ann is unknown.
The only other information that may give one cause to think that perhaps this union really did happen is a story that my mother told me for many years.Mother had only one sister; she had a half sister, but only one sister, Aunt Mary.All my life mother said that Grandpa Nugent, her father, had disowned Aunt Mary because she married her cousin.For years I searched for a Nugent-Nugent connection between Uncle Jim Nugent, a son of William and Tousette Nugent and Aunt Mary, whose maiden name was also Nugent.I could find no close connection between William M. Nugent and my grandfather, Matthew Nugent.
It was not until I heard about the parentage of William M. Nugent was I able to see a connection - a third cousin connection by today's method of counting.The story of
Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim's elopement and marriage was told to me by their only daughter.And she verify the estrangment that lasted a lifetime.For this reason, I am inclined to believe the relationship and the union of Hugh Nugent and Jane Mackie.
Child of JANE MACKIE and HUGH NUGENT is:
| 30. | i. | WILLIAM M.4 NUGENT, b. November 01, 1822, Louisiana; d. January 06, 1900, Grant Parish, Louisiana. |
12.BATHSHEBA3 MACKIE (WILLIAM2, THOMAS1) was born July 07, 1805 in Jackson County, Georgia.She married BARTON WARREN STONE March 13, 1823 in Rapides Parish, Louisiana.He was born March 14, 1798 in South Carolina, and died Abt. October 1850 in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana.

BATHSHEBA(MACKIE) STONE
Dennis M. Stone and sister Amanda says that on two occasions their mother, Bathsheba, took her son John and two riding horses - one pack horse, armed herself and followed the Indian Trails and roads crossing the Mississippi River at Natchez on the first trip and Vicksburg on the second trip, traveling the forest for days from central Louisiana to Jackson County, Georgia, to see her people and settle her mother's estate.
Only on one occasion was she questioned; this was by the Chickasaws Indians.When they learned what she had done and intended to do, on both occasions the same tribe provided an escort - one buck and two squaws, through Eastern Mississippi and Alabama.The above trips further verfied by legal records and papers of her daughter Bathsheba (Stone) Barnes, records now in possession of her granddaughter, a member of the Talbot family of Ft. Worth, Texas."

#6 Bathsheba (Mackie) Stone.From the Dennis Mackie records 1868-1877.Part of the Federal Army of Occupation was stationed at Natchitoches - one of the Commanding Officers was Gen. Geo. A. Custer 1872-1874 under his command the Carpet Baggers - Copperheads and Freed Negroes were given a free hand and often led by Federal Non-commissioned Officers in raiding the surrounding parishes for goods and supplies.Stock being the main objective, as the Federals were always short of horses.
Bathsheba's property was raided three times.The first raid she lost seven head of fine cattle which were never recovered.On the second raid they were not successful.One of the McCarthy ex-slaves had seen them and alerted the neighbors.One corporal was buried on the Smith place and another one of the gang was buried on Jim Coolsby's land between the Cloud Springs and the Burdeaux Springs.After a running fight of several miles the neighbors recovered her two horses and three mules.They also captured two pack horses and four saddle horses, three of them bearing the army brand; which was given to the neighbors who had lost stock in previous raids.
The third raid was led by a Federal Sargent in uniform - there were nine men in his detail.The countryside was alerted in to recoved (sic) all stock taken from the settlers.A long runnig fight ensued and the Sargent, eight copperheads and two negroes who was
aiding them was buried near Cedar Creek about 12 miles south of Winnfield.In the raid J. Barnes, J. H. Embry & A. Hutchins were wounded.In late 1874 General Custer was recalled by Grant and sent West to occupy the Indians land and suppress the Indian uprising.On June 25th 1876 the Sioux and Allied Tribes under Sitting Bull ended Gen. Custer's career - something the settlers of Central Louisian tried hard to do but failed.
To be a descendant of one who could face the loss of her husband - the Civil War problems - Reconstruction days - provide for and raise the large family that she did -
Able to provide each of them upon their becoming of age or marriage with an indownment (sic) of land, stock, goods, money and slaves - A Heritage like this falls to the few only."
"Page 3 of #6 Bathsheba (Mackie) Stone's history of herself and her large family of children is an interesting one to begin with - she was a quarter Jewess, her mother Bathsheba Duncan was half Jewess.
Bathsheba Duncan's father, Isaac Zaccaeus was a Jewess immigrant, he legally changed his name to Isaac Duncan because there were boys in the Duncan family.This was also done to escape the prejudice and persecution of the settlers.Georgia at that time like Louisiana had a law against the admittance of Jews.Being well educated and a Doctor of Medicine he was very successful, and this branch of the Duncan family are still very prominent in central Georgia.
In addition to acquiring a lot of Jewish given names; her descendants should give Bathsheba due credit for being able to pass along to her descendants her beauty, kindly and gracious manners."
