granted land by Republic of Texas, but was a tailor and carpenter and
was paid for tables for Rep of Texas offices when it was located in
Houston. GILES went to
CA in mid 1850 with Gold Rush leaving his wife and son in Houston.
CHARLOTTE’s untimely death left their son HENRY AMOS BALDWIN
Alone in Houston at age 12.)
HENRY AMOS BALDWIN b 1838 Houston, Texas d July 20, 1884 Navarro Co, TX
M Feb 20, 1867 in Navarro Co, TX NANCY CAROLINE “CARRIE” ELIZABETH
BUFORD b Feb 4, 1849 Haynesville, LA d Mar 29, 1915
HENRY is buried at
Hamilton – Beeman Cemetery at Retreat, Texas (see note below)
CARRIE is buried at Richland
Cemetery at Richland, Texas (see note below)
HENRY was left alone in Houston in 1850 on the death of his mother
CHARLOTTE. He was taken in by a local family (we have not been able to
prove the family as yet). By March 10, 1862 HENRY was in Corsicana and
joined McKie’s Squadron, Texas Rangers, of Morgan’s Regiment, Cavalry on
that date.
During the War, he met NANCY CAROLINE “CARRIE” ELIZABETH BUFORD, (the
BUFORD line is proven also) at her grandfather’s plantation house in
Haynesville, Louisiana. We believe that HENRY met CARRIE’s first cousin
Nathaniel Ridley Buford at the Battle of Pine Bluff. Nathaniel was
killed in this battle. However, family legend says the couple met when
HENRY was on picket duty outside the BUFORD plantation. CARRIE was about
15 when they met and HENRY was 26. He told her to wait and he’d be back
for her after the War ended. She waited and HENRY came back to Navarro
County, bought land, built a house, got a job, and went back to
Louisiana and brought CARRIE (and her mother and stepfather) to Navarro
County.
We think HENRY lied about his age when he met her. We think so because
he changed his age on every census and even his tombstone has the wrong
age (of course, the tombstone was not erected until CARRIE died about 20
years later. And his death date is wrong on the tombstone too).
Some years ago I arranged to have HENRY’s grave marked with a Republic
of Texas marker and our family had a large gathering and a ceremony at
Hamilton-Beeman. (My paternal grandparents, EDWARD ALBERT ZUBE and MARY
“MOLLIE” (DEPEW) ZUBE as well as my father HENRY EDWIN ZUBE are also
buried in Hamilton-Beeman).
After HENRY’s death, CARRIE married John G. Matlock on March 2, 1887 in
Corsicana. CARRIE and John had one son, “Johnnie”, who was killed trying
to catch a freight train. I have no idea when he died. According to
other family members, Johnnie had a son living in either Dallas or Ft
Worth in mid 1920s but I have no information on him. So CARRIE is buried
in Richland Cemetary as Carrie Matlock. (My maternal grandmother MARY
ELLEN “HART” BOLLMAN SAWYER BROWN, my maternal grandparents, DON MAYO
SAWYER and his wife WILLIE RACHEL (BROWN) SAWYER, and my mother MILDRED
MAE (SAWYER) ZUBE WILLEY are also buried in Richland Cemetery).
My BALDWIN line is fully proven for DAR, Mayflower Society, Daughters of
the Republic of Texas, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and I’m
working on Colonial Dames.
I’ll gladly share information with anyone who’d like it.
