Florence Beatrice Carrico

Notes:

Per OLDTIMERS OF SABINE COUNTY "Mrs. Florence Carrico White celebrated her 87th birthday at her home in the Pinehill Community on Sunday, July 20, 1969. The day began pretty much as usual for Mrs. White, who lives alone, getting up a little later than she used to, to prepare her breakfast. A few friends and members of the family stopped in before she went to church to wish her well, but when the church services ended, Rev. Holt and the entire congregation went home with Mrs. White for a surprise birthday party. She was really surprised. Other friends and relatives were waiting there to help her celebrate with gifts and refreshments. Out of county visitors for the day included Mr. and Mrs. Alan V. White and infant son of Houston; Mr and Mrs Charlie Lane of Jasper, Mr and Mrs Lewis Rigsby and children, Cathy and Kyle, of Beaumont; and Miss Gale White of Nacogdoches. Mrs. White, the wife of the late R.W. White of Pinehill, was born in Panola County, near the little town of Gary. Her parents were William David and Mary Charlotte Gary Carrico, the daughter of James Henry Gary, born in Alabama. He came to East Texas with his brothers, Govey and Ike, and many of their descendants still live in East Texas. James Wilkerson, early Indian fighter and hero of San Jacinto, was Mrs. White's paternal grandparents (sic). He too left many descendants in East Texas."

Notes:

Said to be a son of Matthew CARRICO and Rachel WILKERSON.

White and Toole write "Matthew Carrico... Received a land grant of 640 acres of land for services in the Tex. Rev. at Goliad...Rachel Wilkerson's (father)...James Wilkerson, received a grant in Bexar County for services in Capt. Teal's company during the Texas Revolution. James Wilkerson was a Texas Ranger and Indian fighter under Capt. Mabbitt of Shelby County, receiving his last pay for this service in 1852 at old Fort Houston. (White and Toole, p 72).

However, Nell Carrico Denova emailed that "Although Rachael Wilkerson Carrico's father, listed in the White and Toole book, "Sabine County Historical Sketches and Genealogical Records", is shown as being James Wilkerson, I still can't find anything on him, in the Texas Revolution or his army papers, or Texas Ranger, or anything. I'm not able to find out who his wife--Rachel's mother--was either.Rachael. My sister, Fran and I have made several trips to Panola, but never one to Sabine, but we need to find some of the family that is living, and ask if any of them may know who Rachel's mother was, or if in fact, James was her father, and not a DAVID Wilkinson.

Notes:

The daughter of James Henry Gary, who was brother of Govy Gary, the grand-father of W.R. Gary who was Supt. of Pineland Schools for a number of years before moving to Beaumont. (White and Toole, p 72). Virgie Speights writes that Mary Gary's father John Henry Gary, was born in Alabama and came to Texas with his brothers, Govey and Ike.

The transcription of her tombstone instead has her year of birth as 1852.
