Thompson "Finn" Wallace

Notes:

(Research):In looking for the first husband of Mary Etta VARDEMAN, I was found the following family that was a near perfect match. The names, ages and birthplaces for Maretta, Elizabeth and Sophia match their later census listings in Sabine County, Texas. I looked at every WALLACE and WALLIS family that was indexed in Mississippi in 1850 by Ancestry.com. They were in Lawrence County, Mississippi, which is located in the southwestern portion of the state, nearby to Pike and Amite counties.

1850 Federal Census Mississippi, Lawrence County:

29-29
Wallis, Thomson 32 M W Farmer $50 Miss
Wallis, Maretta 29 F W Miss
Wallis, Elizabeth 3 F W Miss
Wallis, Sophia 1 F W Miss

I am assuming this is the correct family for the time being. More information should be gathered to either prove or disprove this assumption.

Other Wallis's in Lawrence County in 1850 include:
30-30
Wallis, James A 27 M W Farmer Miss
Wallis, Nancy W 18 F W Miss
Wallis, Sarah M 1 F W Miss

32-32
Wallis, Thomson Sr.62 M W Farmer 350 So Car
Wallis, C?ary 62 F W Ga
Wallis, Clementina 22 F W Miss
Wallis, Martin 21 M W Miss
Collins, Centhia 18 F W La?

Thompson married Mary Etta "Polly" Vardeman before 1845. Mary (daughter of Amaziah Vardeman and Una (Eunice) Carter) was born on 22 Sep 1820 in Mississippi; died on 9 Nov 1898 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

At the time of the 1880 census, Elizabeth and Pascal Clark were living next door to her mother, Mary (Vardeman) and step-father, Henry White.

Elizabeth married Paschal Clark in 1867 in Sabine County, Texas. Paschal (son of Elijah Clark and Jane Lagrone) was born on 7 Dec 1844 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 24 Dec 1902 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Griffin Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Sophia was listed as a one year old at the time of the 1850 Lawrence County, Mississippi census.

However, she was not listed on Schluter's 1860 transcription of the Sabine County, Texas census. Nor was she listed on Toole's 1870 transcription. She was listed as part of the household in Toole & Speight's 1880 transcription however. Why was she missing from the earlier transcriptions? Perhaps the Joseph, age 12, who was listed only in 1860 actually should have been shown as Sophie. And in 1870, perhaps she was shown as Josephin

Sophie married Franklin L. Chandler on 31 Jul 1890 in Sabine County, Texas. Franklin was born in Jan 1838 in Mississippi; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

A Mary Wallice (sic) was enrolled in the District 6 School in Sabine County in 1854.

At the time of the 1910 census, Josephine was shown as being the mother of 11 children, 10 still living. It therefore appears she was not the mother of three children living with she and Elias at the time of the 1780 census, John (b. 1865) and Sydney Ann (b. 1867) and Felix J. (b. 1868).

At the time of the 1920 Federal census she was living with her youngest daugher and son-in-law, Minnie and Elmer Butler, in San Augustine County.

Her headstone reads: "Come ye blessed - She lived and died a Christian - Beloved - How we miss you."

Obituary follows. Copied from FamilySearch, Public Memory:

In memory of Mrs. Elias Clark, who went away, leaving us for a better world on October 24th 1930. She was born Feb. 23rd 1851. She was married to Elias Clark in 1870. To this union was born eleven children. They are: C.B. Clark, L.T. Clark, J.E. Clark, T.F. Clark, W.E. Clark, Mrs. Agnes Cole, Mrs. Minnie Butler, all of whom are still living. Bruce Clark, Mrs. Anna McLemore, Mrs. Mattie Chandler and Mrs. Ara Anderson, who preceded her in death. There were also three step-children: John Clark, who died in early life, Mrs. J.W. Craig, who is also dead, and Felix Clark, who still survives. She left eighty grandchildren and a host of great grandchildren.
She professed faith in Christ in early life and joined the missionary Baptist Church. She was a charter member the the Antioch Church, and was a faithful and devout Christian.
Dear Mother was kind and true, meeting everyone with a smile. She always bore her trials with patience. It was so hard to give her up, but God's will must be done, not ours. We know it was a joyful hour for her when she heard the Dear Savior saying: "Enter Thou into the joy of the Lord. You have been faithful over a few things and I will make thee ruler over many things."
What more can be said? We know that a life like this can mean only a self sacrifice and loving service with heart and hands. Such a life she performed, not one day but every day, striving to help everyone she could.
Funeral service was held by Eld. E.M. Gentry at Antioch Church and her body was laid to rest in Antioch Cemetery to await the resurrection.
Committee: E.J. McGown, L.H. Chandler and Cora McLemore

Note - This obituary was written in October of 1930 in memory of Mary Josephine Wallace Clark. Antioch Church is the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Sabine County, Texas. The cemetery is Gravel Hill Cemetery adjacent to the church property. A copy of the following poem was written below the obituary.

To that beautiful land we call heaven,
The place where we all want to be
Is a road that leads onward and upward,
And a lone weary traveler we see.
An angel is hastening to open
The pearly gates far and wide,
Bidding this pilgrim welcome,
To the joy on the other side.
Who is the traveler fair angel?
Someone's sister or brother?
Oh, no far greater than these,
'Tis someone's precious mother.
She is a mother old and gray,
And bent with the passing years,
As she toils through sunshine and shadows
And up through the vale of tears.
It has been her lot to be happy.
And then came her saddest hours.
Many a bitter weed she has plucked,
That grew in her lovely flowers.
Oh, dear tired, weary mother,
If we friends and loved ones knew
How thy loving hands have guided us,
And steered us safely through.

Notes:

I ASSUMED this is the ELTON that Bernis D Thacker (2523 Laurelcrest Memphis, TN 38133-5190 bdt0915551@msn.com) lists as the oldest child of Thomas and Sophia McLemore. The 1910 census did show that Sophia was the mother of 6 children, only five who were living. The children listed at the time of the 1910 census were John E., Myrtie, Fannie, Maggie and Ary A.

Also, this appears to be the same person as the 27 year old John E. McLemore, married to 22 year old Anne P, who was living in San Augustine, Texas (ED#176) and working as a barber at the time of the 1920 census. He died before the 1930 census. John W. Clark shows his date of death as much earlier, circa 1910.

Notes:

His headstone reads "Our Darling, Baby, A sunbeam from the world has vanished."

Notes:

Not listed on the 1920 census??? Nor is he listed as a child of Jeffersona and Alice's by John W. Clark. It is therefore possible that the 1930 census listing showing him as a son may be in error.

Notes:

At the time of the 1930 Federal Census, Maxine and her older sister, Lillie, were living with their sister and brother-in-law, Winnie and Ottis West in Webster, Lousiana.

(Research):The Texas Birth Index also show a Ruby Maxine Clark and William Roy Viner as the parents of William Charles Viner born 3 May 1943 in Potter County and Edith Charlene Viner, born 30 Oct 1945, also in Potter County.

As no prior marriage is listed for Ruby Maxine Clark, the daughter of Jefferson Elias Clark of Sabine County, in John W. Clark's book, it is assumed this is different individual.
