THE McDANIEL FIVE (Photo submitted)

How unique is it to see siblings, five of them, all in their 80s and all still living and doing well except for the things that getting older brings to all of us? I would say it is very seldom heard of and when we do hear and see it, we need to pause and celebrate! Above are all five children of Nolan Ernest, sr. (Mac) and Ella Lee McDaniel. Seated, from left: Wendell, 89, (who will be 90 Sept. 20) of Yellowpine, Clement, 88 of Hemphill and Ernest, 85, of Yellowpine; standing: Evelyn (Easley), 80, of San Juan Capistrano, CA, and Zuda (Tinsley), 82, or Hemphill. They were all born in Sabine County and raised in the old community of Mason Town, now known as Six Mile. They were raised when times were hard ans each had to pull their own weight, when walking was something they had to do to get where they wanted to go and not for exercise. Going barefooted was something they did, not for fun, but out of necessity. Getting to school was a chore. During grade school years they walked three miles to attend school in Six Mile and as high school years approached, some stayed with friends in Hemphill and Yellowpine so they could attend school. Even with all the marks set against them, the five grew up to be fine upstanding citizens of the communities they chose as grown men and women to start and raise their families. So much could be said about each of these five people (I am the niece of Wendell, but claim them all as my aunts and uncles) and wish for each, all the blessings that only God can bestow on them in the years he chooses to give them.

Notes:

Middle name shown by family descendants as Walton, his mothers maiden name.

Kay Parker McCary instead lists him as William Watson McDaniel, Jr., a namesake son of his father. She also indicates that he has a military marker at his gravesite, which reads" Co F 11 Texas Inf CSA"

Laura Buckmaster and Barbara Yancey Dore also show his middle name as Watson.

Notes:

Married:
Robert Cecil McDaniel wrote, in his autobiography, that after "his grandparents married, they moved to the Bayou Community, located about four miles north of Fairdale. They lived there until Grandpa's death on December 10, 1899, at the age of fifty-five."

John married Eunice "Una" Carter White on 6 Mar 1883 in Sabine County, Texas. Eunice (daughter of Henry Strickland White, Sr and Ann Vardeman) was born on 7 Jun 1852 in Texas; died on 16 Jul 1925. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On the 1920 Sabine County census, she was living in the household of her son, John B. Walker in Precinct #1 of Sabine County, household #579/601. She was listed as a 67 year old widow.

Notes:

Married:
John Walker, a 42 year old Widower, lived next door to 28 year old Eunice White, who was living at home with her parents, at the time of the 1880 census.

Charles White also lists them as being the parents of a Emma Walker, dob unknown, who married Bence Ener. He cites Mrs. A.V. White, THEY CAME TO TEXAS. However, I was unable to locate Emma on the 1900 census with her parents. She would have had to have been under age 17 at the time (The Walker's were married in 1883) or already married. However, Bency Ener was still living at home in 1900, an 11 year old son of Mart and Harriett Ener in Precinct #7, #122/122. Additionally, in Sabine County Marriage Records 1900-1910 by Toole, it is shown that EVA Walker married Bencie Ener on 6 March 1910.

Notes:

Robert Cecil McDaniel, a descendant, wrote in his autobiography that "My McDaniel ancestors migrated west from the Edgefield District near Spartanburg, South Carolina, and apparently stopped for a time in Mississippi. They were enumerated in the federal census of 1850, both in Itwambia County, Mississippi, and in Sabine County, Texas." He also indicated that they settled in the community later to be known as Fairdale, in the southeastern part of Sabine County.

Notes:

At the time of the 1870 Sabine County Census, he was widowed and he and his two young sons were living in the home of his son-in-law, Wm. W. McDaniel.

Irving married Luthenia Garlington on 13 Sep 1849 in Newton County, Texas. Luthenia (daughter of Benjamin Garlington and Caroline Cynthia Vick) was born about 1828 in Louisiana; died on 22 Mar 1859 in Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Later married a Porter? (Rootsweb World Connect Project: Hill Family Page).

Notes:

Married:
Luthenia first married a Mr. Porter in 1844. She married Irving Smith 5 years later, and they had 4 children.

Notes:

On the Sabine County 1854 Scholastic Census, H.S. White was shown as of household with five (5) children between the ages of 6 and 16 enrolled at School District No. 6. They were: Edward, Vardamenn, Mary, Hanibal, and Arrilla. Who was Arrilla, and who was her mother? Could this have been Hanzel, his daughter by Eliza Jones?

Henry S and Mary E White (third wife) were among the 11 founding members of the First Baptist Church of Hemphill, all of whom gathered on the banks of the Housen Bayou, drawing up 12 articles of Faith and 24 articles of Decorum. Henry served as the clerk to the church, recording all church proceedings for a period of some 12 years (from 1858 to 1870), as a delegate to church conferences, and as the moderator of church proceedings. In November, 1868, he was ordained as a Deacon of the Church. The MINUTES 1858-1890 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HEMPHILL, TEXAS were transcribed and indexed by Di Ann Vick in 1982, and are available for purchase from both Ingmire Publications, 10166 Clairmont Dr St. Louis MO 63136 and Ericson Books 1614 Redbud St Nacogdoches, Texas 75961.

In 1876, H S and Mary E White left the First Baptist Church and were among the founding members of the Antioch Baptist Church in the Gravel Hill Community of Sabine County. According to a plaque on the front of the Antioch Church, J. S. Lambert and J J Roundtree were the organizers. Other founding members included: George Conn, John Anderson, T.D. Burkhalter, John De Weese, L.W. Hoard, Hosie Baldree, Ann Mason, Sophie H. Wallace, Mrs. C.A. Hoard, C. Baldree

Per the book "Sabine County Historical Sketches and Genealogical Records" by White and Toole, "Henry S. White Sr. was Judge of Sabine County from 1869-1875, serving with Solomon Arthur. (They were called Chief Magistrates until the new State Constitution went into effect at the end of their term). Henry S. White was also a member of the Littleton Fowler Masonic Lodge. As the White Plantation lay just west of Hemphill, he was one of the last of the "Paderos" for the return of run-a-way slaves."

I have been unable to locate a CSA service record for Henry. It is probable that he was considered too old for service, he was almost 50 at the outbreak of the war.

His tombstone indicates he was a Mason.

Note in the 1920 Sabine County, Texas federal census, there was a 50 year old mulatto farmer named Jesse White (#594-616). He noted that his father was born in Mississippi and his mother in Georgia. What is his relationship, if any, to the other White's in Sabine County, Texas?
