APPENDIX 1

BARCLAY INFORMATION TO JULY 19, 1964 The ancestry of the Barclays of Ury
and Mathers is to be found in Burke^Òs "Peerage and Gentry" down to John
Barclay, the third son of Robert Barclay of Ury and his wife, Christian
Mollison. This John, who was born at Ury 8-20-1687, was sent to Dublin to
manage the shipping interest of the family. There Burke leaves him. His
line has been traced by R. Burnham Moffat in "The Barclays of New York:
Who They Are and Who They Are Not," and was made easy by the fact that
Ury, made a free barony in 1679, was entailed, and it was necessary to
obtain an act of parliament to free it in order that sale of some of the
land could be made in 1805. At that time all possible heirs were
interviewed for signature of the documents.

These records show that John Barclay of Dublin married 2) Ann Strettell,
born

in Dublin 12-23-1694, died 2-21-1971 in Dublin, daughter of Amos
Strettell, merchant, and his wife, Experience. The marriage was
3-19-1713. They had two sons, Robert and John. Robert was born
1-19-1717/18 (calendar change makes this date variable) and no further
mention is made of him. John is mentioned with deeds until his marriage
to a Catholic, and after that no mention is made of him at all.

Under date of 11-3-1955, Capt. Robert E. Barclay, Geerings, Warnham,
Sussex, England, wrote to Mrs. Barclay Megarity, 4110 Watt, Waco, Tex.
that there are two conflicting documents in the family archives and until
it can be ascertained which is correct, the American Branch of the family
cannot be listed in Burk^Òs. Of these documents, one says that Robert
died while very young; the other that he displeased the family and was
cast off. There is no record in the Society of Friends in Dublin of the
death of Robert, only of his birth, and the Friends kept detailed
records, as did the Barclays who were fanatical Quakers. John, the
younger son was cast off, without even a mention from the day of his
marriage. The book, "A History of the Barclay Family with Pedigrees from
1067 to 1933" in three volumes, by Charles W. Barclay, uncle of the
present chieftain, lists Robert. There is no other Barclay by the name of
Robert at that time who is not accounted for but this particular Robert.
The family legend, which has proven true in most points, contends that
Robert of Rowan County, N.C. was the grandson of Robert Barclay of Ury
and that no other member of his immediate family was in America. The
Barclay Bible, in the possession of Speck Resinger of Woodville, had the
pages torn out when examined in 1961. On those pages were the record of
decent.

John Barclay of Dublin owed the "Barclay Frigate" which was provisioned
in Dublin 4-2-1742, and the "Diana" of Dublin, provisioned 2-24-1743. He
was allowed shipment of wheat to Barbadoes 10-16-1741. It is probable
that young Robert took one of these vessels to the colonies following
trouble with his family.

Pictures of French and British Frigates are available today, and the
Barclay Frigate probably looked very much like one of them.

The story of Robert Barclay of Rowan County, N. C. is taken from facts
found in the "History of the Liberty Baptist Association" by Elder Henry
Sheets, and Lawson^Òs "History of North Carolina," as well as the
colonial records of Rowan County, N. C.

Robert Barclay of Rowan was born 1-9-1717/18 in Dublin Ireland. He came
to America and settled sometime before 1755, as in that year the Baptist
congregation of Malapan, New Jersey, which had formerly been members of
the Quaker sect, went to North Carolina under the guidance of Rev. John
Gregory, and, with two other denominations, built a church which they
called the Jersey Church. The other denominations fell by the wayside and
the church became, and is today, Baptist. The American Revolution, two
earthquakes, and time have destroyed many of the graves there, but as
some of the children of Robert Barclay are buried in that churchyard, it
is supposed that he is, also.

Deed Book 4, page 617 Rowan County, N. C. shows that on 4-4-1761, and
proved in court in 1762, Robert Barclay was granted 708 acres by the Earl
of Granville, the only lord proprietor of North Carolina who had not
ceded his rights back to the king. The average grant at that time was 200
acres. To receive more, a man had to be of importance, of good birth. By
1778 Robert Barclay was paying taxes on 894 acres of land, and there are
records of his doing jury duty, acting as surveyor, overseeing road
construction, etc. Robert had land grants in Kentucky, also, these being
given to his sons Walter and Robert. Disposal of all of the Barclay land
is accounted for in the Rowan records.

Robert was evidently a very sick man for some time prior to his death.
His will, dated 12-5-1786, states that he is weak in body but strong in
mind, but he was not able to sign it, merely marking it with an "X". As
he had served in civic capacities which required an education, he did not
do this because of illiteracy. The will was probated in 1788, being in
Will Book C, page 121, Rowan County, N. C. records. It mentions his wife,
Leah, his sons Samuel (the oldest, who inherited the home place,
according to the law

The Will of Robert Barclay
(Will Book C, pgs 121-122 Rowan Co, NC, probated 1788)

s of primogeniture under which the colony operated), David, John, Robert,
William and Walter, and daughters Margaret, Elizabeth, Catherine, Mary
and Rachel. William died, leaving his property to his brothers Walter and
Robert. Records show that Catherine married a Hendrickson, Margaret and
Mary married Todd Brothers. Leah is on the 1800 census, but the Barclay
line there died out with her grandsons.

There was another Robert Barclay in Rowan County at the same time, but
his name was always spelled "Barkley" and he was a Presbyterian, living
in the western section of the county. A descendant was Senator and
Vice-President Albin Barclay of Kentucky, another Adlai Stevenson. This
line has been thoroughly traced by its historian, William D. Kizziah of
Salisbury, N. C.

Walter Barclay was born in 1774 in North Carolina, according to the 1850
census of Tyler County, Texas, page 18, dwelling 130. He and his brother,
Robert, went to Kentucky to take up land grants of their father, which
they later sold, recording the sale in Rowan County. Deed book 23, page
14, 1-29-1814, states that Joseph Haden of Rowan County let John Darr of
Rowan have 183 acres on Richard^Òs Creek adjoining Benjamin Todd, Thomas
Adams, Caleb Campbell and George Fezor, being part of a track originally
owned by the deceased Robert Barclay, which Walter and Robert Barclay let
Thomas Durham have 5-18-1789. Vol. 17, Deed Book, page 327, dated
10-2-1797, shows that Robert and Walter Barclay sold by deed made in
Kentucky two tracts of land in Rowan County. There was only one Walter
Barclay on the tax rolls of Kentucky during that year. On page 27,
Madison County, Kentucky Records printed by the Kentucky State Historical
Society, the marriage of Walter Barclay and Elizabeth McQueen is recorded
as occurring 1-27-1804. She was born in Richmond, Madison County,
Kentucky, in 1790, according to the same source. At that time, James,
Joshua and John McQueen were paying taxes in Kentucky, having come over
together from Scotland. They moved afterward to Tennessee as some of
their children are listed as being born in that state. It was obviously
the second marriage for Walter as he was 30 years of age at that time,
his wife was 14, and a son, Peter, who remained in Kentucky, is mentioned
as his child, but not as their child.

The 1820 census lists Walter Barclay in Tennessee, the l830 census lists
him in Alabama, just across the line from Tennessee, where he had lived
at Hoover^Òs Gap. His sons Anderson, James and Robert remained in
Tennessee, coming directly from there to Texas. Younger sons, Jerry and
Milton, were born in Alabama.

Family tradition has it that Walter and his older sons came to Texas in
1826, deciding to go back for their families. Anderson received land
grants in 1828. There is no record of the others, officially, until 1834.
Walter settled first in Nacogdoches, then moved to Town Bluff, the
presence of the Barclays there being on record in the University of Texas
archives. Later he moved to the farm owned by his son, James, out from
Woodville, having a separate house a few hundred yards from that of
James. Walter died there in 1858, according to the minutes of the Bethel
Baptist Church. He is listed on the 1850 census of Tyler County as having
property worth $2,000.00. Elizabeth McQueen Barclay is listed on the 1860
census as living with her son, Melton, (Milton) and having property in
the amount of $l,000.00. She died 5-15-1863 and her estate was
administered by her son, James, according to records in Woodville.

Children of Walter Barclay and Elizabeth McQueen were: Anderson, Walter,
Polly, James, Jeremiah Todd, Robert, Louise, William and Milton. The
latter was named for uncle, Milton McQueen. Walter and James married
Fosters; Jerry married Elizabeth Ann Rigsby, daughter of a Foster and
niece to the other women.

The "Todd" in Jeremiah^Òs name came from the Todd Family into which his
aunts married in North Carolina. They were sons of General Todd of
Pennsylvania, and relatives of Mary Todd, who married Abraham Lincoln..
The McQueens were descended from the Scottish Clan of that name.

APPENDIX 2 WHO ARE WE?

The Barclays of Scotland are claimed to be a branch of the English house
of Berkeley of Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire and derived from John,
son of Roger de Berkeley, who came to Scotland with Malcolm Canmore, King
of Scotland, and his Queen, Margaret. King Malcolm bestowed on John the
lands of Towie near Turrif. John had three sons, Walter, 1st of Gartley,
Alexander, Towie II and Richard Ardrossan.

The Berkelys have one of the two oldest pedigrees in England, going back
prior to the arrival of The Conqueror, and since the Barclays are just
the Berkelys gone north, the Barclays possess one of the oldest pedigrees
in Scotland.

Sir Walter de Berkely, Gartley III, Lord Redcastle and Inverkeillor was
Chamberlain of Scotland from 1165 to 1189. Sir John de Berkely, Gartley
VII and Sir Walter de Berkely, Gartley VIII both signed the Ragman Roll
in 1296. Alexander de Berkely, Mathers I, second son of Andrew de
Berkely, Gartley IX was granted Mathers in 1351 when he married Katherine
Keith, sister of Sir William de Keith, the Great Marischal of Scotland.
Their son Alexander was the first to adopt the Barclay form of the
surname.

John Barclay of Johnston the second son of David, Mathers IX was ancestor
of the Barclays of Johnston and Balmakewan. While George Barclay of
Bridgeton and Jackton, second son of George, Mathers X, was ancestor of
the Barclays of Bridgeton.

Sir George Barclay, Gartley XIX, "Barclay of that Ilk" was Steward of the
house of Mary, Queen of Scots.

In 1621, John and Peter Barclay settled in Riga on the shores of the
Baltic. Michael Andreas Barclay, born 1761 and descended from Peter in
five generations, entered the Russian Army. In 1806, he was in command of
one of the divisions sent to support the Prussians against the French. In
1810, he was made Minister of War and in 1812, he commanded the Russian
Armies that defeated Napoleon and forced him to retreat from Moscow. In
1815, the Czar made him Field Marshall Prince Michael Barclay de Tolly.

A Sir George Barclay was second in command of James IV forces in the
Highlands. He was one of two emissaries sent by the Highland Chiefs to
receive release from their sworn fidelity to James so they could align
with William and save bloodshed.

Sir Robert Barclay, K.G.B., served as adjutant to the Duke of Wellington.

Captain Robert Barclay, R.N., served in Nelson^Òs fleet at the Battle of
Trafalgar.

Robert Barclay, Urie II, 1648-1690, became the famous Quaker apologist.
He with George Fox and William Penn conceived the idea of a city of
brotherly love to be built in America, where Quakers fled.

Robert Barclay^Òs second son John left Urie and came to London and was
apprenticed to a City Company where he became a merchant and rich man.
His second wife was the daughter of John Freame, Goldsmith, whose
premises in Lombard Street became a banking center. This is the site of
the present headquarters of Barclay^Òs Bank. (Robert Barclay of Rowan
County, N.C., grand father. A message from a descendant of the founder of
Barclay bank is on the internet, describing her descent.

Lt. Colonel Walter Patrick Barclay, father of our present chief, died of
wounds received while commanding the sixth battalion of the Black Watch
in North Africa during World War II. The present chief of the name
Barclay is Peter C. Barclay.

Robert Barclay of Rowan County, North Carolina^Òs Grandfather.

Robert Barclay of Rowan County, North Carolina^Òs Uncle

Other son, John, went to Dublin to oversee shipping investment of family.

John^Òs son, Robert, went to America and eventually to Rowan County,
North Carolina

 

APPENDIX 3. Barclay History

Peter C. Barclay, chief of the name of Barclay, of Towie Barclay and of
that Ilk was born in Rome, Italy, on February 26, 1938, where his father,
Lieutenant-Colonel Walter Patrick Barclay, the Black Watch, was Assistant
Military Attaché. Educated at Eton College, Peter Barclay did his
National Service with The Black Watch, serving in Germany and Scotland.
In 1967, he succeeded his second cousin once removed, Theodore Bruce de
Tollie Barclay, as Chief of the name Barclay. Peter is a Life Member of
the National Trust for Scotland and a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company
of Carpenters, one of the City of London Livery Companies from which the
Lord Mayor is chosen annually. He resides in London.

 

Barclay History

Roger de Berchelai came to England with William the Conqueror and was
granted Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire. In 1069, his son, John de
Berchelai, accompanied Margaret (later St. Margaret) to Scotland. In
gratitude for his service, King Malcolm (Canmore) granted him the lands
of Towie in Aberdeenshire. Nine hundred years of Barclay history in
Scotland descend from John^Òs three sons, Walter, Alexander and Richard.

Sir Walter de Berkeley, Gartley III, Lord Redcastle and Inverkeillor, was
Great Chamberlain of Scotland, 1165-1189. Alexander de Berkeley, Gartley
IX, became Mathers I in 1351 when he married Katherine Keith, sister of
the Earl Marischal. Their son, Alexander, was the first to adopt the
Barclay form of the surname. Sir George Barclay, Gartley XIX, was Steward
of the household of Mary, Queen of Scots, and a later Sir George was
second in command of James IV forces in the Highlands in the 1680^Òs.
Michael Andreas Barclay de Tollie defeated Napoleon as Field Marshal
under the Czar. Barclays served with Nelson and the Duke of Wellington.
Robert Barclay, Urie II, was the famous Quaker apologist in the late
1600^Òs. His second son became a merchant in London, marrying the
daughter of John Freame, a goldsmith of Lombard St., site of the present
day Barclay^Òs Bank.

Statement from Carolyn L. Barkley, 12/1/98. There is not yet an
established connection between the Governor of New Jersey in 1600^Òs, and
the Barclays in New Jersey, but they are Scott, not Irish. I get inquires
about the Robert and Leah strain from all over the United States. Some
went from North Carolina to other states. It is the major strain of
Barclays in the United States. They all know the names when they call and
write. Sam Houston was related to the Barclays in Kentucky. When asked
about David Crockett and Daniel Boone, Carolyn said Sam Houston and David
Crockett were cousins, and Daniel Boone was a neighbor in North Carolina.

APPENDIX 4.

Jersey Lands North Carolina Information by Teddy L. Barclay Pope
Dec./1998

The location where Robert (b. 1718, d. 1788) and Leah Barclay of Rowan
County, North Carolina, lived has been researched. It is near a
recreational park area. It would probably make a nice vacation attraction
if going in that direction anyway.

The Barclay farm was located in a one hundred thousand acre Jersey church
grant called Jersey Land, near Jersey Baptist Church. Jersey is now in
Robertson County and is near Lexington. It is off Highway 85 and North
Carolina Highway 8. The river that made this spot so wonderful is the
Yadkin River. Jersey Baptist Church is active. It is one of the largest
in the area with 500 in membership and 280 average attendance. Jersey
Church is at one end of the two mile long Jersey Church road. The
neighborhood grade school for Jersey Land School is at the other end.
High school students go by bus to Lexington, seventeen miles away.

The Jersey church was established before 1755. Settlers came from
Hopewell and Manalapan, New Jersey and the "Old School" Hopewell Baptist
Church near Princeton, which was established in 1715. Jersey Land escaped
ravage by the British in the American Revolution because of heavy rain
and a swollen Yadkin River. They camped there and viewed Jersey Farms
with spyglasses but finally gave up and went elsewhere.

The minutes of the Jersey church before 1784 were lost, but Robert^Òs
son, Samuel, and his wife, Mary, are named in the minutes as joining by
"experience". The Barclay sisters, who married Todd brothers, were also
named. Other Barclays in the area were Margaret Barclay King and her
eleven children and Samual, her brother, and his family. There is also an
older cemetery with no markers at all.

In the cemetery there are many stones so old the names are not readable.
The church secretary said that may be the reason the Barclays there are
not on the cemetery list of readable names. Captain Robert Barclay served
in the military with North Carolina troops in the American Revolution.

If planning to go there on a trip, call the toll-free information
directory and get the number for the North Carolina tourist information.
Ask for a vacation package. It will contain a map and a list of other
nearby attractions of historical significance, relating to the Civil War
era. Also, Daniel Boone grew up north of Jersey land, on the Yadkin
River. There are some Boone attractions, including a cave.

Additional information about Barclays is not likely to come from either
Jersey Baptist Church or Old School Baptist Church at Hopewell. Both were
emphatic of never hearing of such a thing as being Quakers

who turned into Baptist. It is likely to have been that some Quakers
themselves became Baptist and not the whole meeting.

The Games - There are large meetings called "The Games" of Clans of Scot
descendants that meet all over the country and Canada. Up to twenty
thousand people attend. The largest in the United States is in North
Carolina in September. Officers of Clan Barclay attend about nineteen
games a year and carry their Barclay tent. It is draped with the Barclay
tartan in yellow and black. This floppy disc book on Microsoft Word will
be available at the games to interested parties.

APPENDIX 5. THE LAWSONS OF GEORGIA Other Relatives and Neighbors

Due to the fact that each family unit wanted to use the names "William,"
"John," and "Roger", it was hard to separate the Lawsons in America.
Also, a misprint in a reference book caused much confusion, but after
eleven years, the picture emerges quite clearly.

The Lawsons in America were descendants of the Lawsons of Brough, or
Burgh, Hall, Yorkshire. (1)The arms are at. a chevron between three
martlets sable. Crest: two arms embowed, couped at the elbow, vested
ermine cuff as supporting the hands ppr. a ring gold, gemmed gu within
the rim the sun in splendor gold. Mottor: Leve et reluis. Patronymics
Brittanica states that Lawson means "son of Lawrence", and that the
patriarch was John Lawson who lived in the time of Henry III and was Lord
of Tawlesgrave, York. >From him, the existing baronet is lineally
descended. The arms were patented during the time of Elizabeth I.

Brough (pronounced Broog) was originally written de Breux. In the 12th
century, it was changed to de Burgh, sometimes de Burg. It means
"stronghold", coming from the Roman ruins discovered in a field which is
now called "The Burrs" at Brough. The old Roman Road ran through the
place going through Stamford Bridge, across the ferry to Riding, and down
Ermine Street on to Lincolnshire. (2)

The de Burgh Family came over with William the Conqueror. One branch
became the Earl of Ulster, marrying into the Plantaganets and eventually
furnished a king. The other branch stemmed from the man who was one of
the signers of the Magna Carta at Runneymeade.

The Lawsons were for generations seated at Burwell and afterward at
Alindell, Northumberland, then at Brough Hall, Yorkshire.

WILLIAM LAWSON of Cramlington, tempus Henry VI, married Agnes, daughter
and co-heir of William Cramlington, and had a second son,

THOMAS lAWSON of Cramlington, who died in 1489. He married Isabella,
daughter of Killinghall of Middleton, St. George^Òs. Their son,

SIR RALPH LAWSON, was knighted by James I on 7-23-1603, married
Elisabeth, daughter and sole heir of Roger Brough of Brough Hall,
Catterick, Yorkshire. They had two daughters (Jane married Thomas Rokeby
of Mortham, and Alice, wife of Thomas Ingleby of Lawkland) and three
sons. Their eldest son,

ROGER LAWSON, was seated at Heaton, new Newcastle-on-Tyne, whick was
afterwards sold. He died in London during the lifetime of his father. He
married Dorothy, daughter of Sir Henry Constable, Knt. of Burton
Constable, Yorkshire. She died in 1632 at St. Anthony^Òs near Newcastle,
which belonged to the family. They had numerous issue. Their eldest son,

HENRY LAWSON, of Brough Hall, married Anne, daughter of Robert Hodgson of
Heburne, County of Durham. He died in 1636. Among issue, he had Roger,
who died young, and Henry, whose widow married the Earl of Deruntwater,
and whose daughter, Isabella, married Sir John Swinburn. His Heir,

JOHN LAWSON, was captain of the horse in the service of Charles I. Brough
Hall was sequestered and sold by Cromwell and he was banished in 1653.
Charles II saw that Brough Hall was returned to him and created him Baron
of Brough 7-6-1665. In 1660, he married Catherine Howard, third daughter
of Sir William Howard of Naworth Castle, Cumberland, sister of Charles
Howard, 1st Earl of Carlisle, and a great-great-granddaughter of the
fourth Duke of Norfolk through his son, William. She died 7-4-1668.(13)
John died l0-26-1698. Their Grandsons,

HUGH LAWSON, son of John Lawson who went to Ireland and married Mary
McConnell, daughter of John McConnell and ______? Caldwell, a cousin of
Cromwell, came to America in 1727, first to Lunenburg County, Va., then
to Rowan County, North Carolina, where he died about 1770. He married
Margaret Moore. (3) and

JOHN LAWSON of St. Peter^Òs Parish, Virginia, having gone there from
Lunenburg, and the husband of Judith Lawson, who married (2) Francis
Timberlake of Lancaster County on 3-9-1730. John^Òs son,

JOHN LAWSON, was baptized 3-8-1690 in St. Peter^Òs Parish (4). He married
Mary ______?. John, a surveyor, died between 1740 and 1749. Mary Lawson
of Lunenburg, later of Halifax, left a will in Halifax dated 10-15-1749,
showing daughter, Margaret, of Granville, North Carolina, wife of John
Boyd, sons being Travis, John, William and David. (5)

WILLIAM LAWSON was born in Halifax County, Virginia, in 1740. He married
Jane Banks in Halifax County on 5-24-1759. (6) William was granted two
hundred acres of land in Wilkes County, Georgia, in 1784. (7) He is
listed in the DAR records as being a First Lieutenant in the Second
Virginia Regiment, Captain Quarles Company. He had eight hundred and
seventy-five acres in Wilkes County and five hundred and seventy-five
acres in Washington County, having petitioned on 3-25-1784 that he was a
Revolutionary soldier and wanted bounty in Washington, County, Georgia.
He owned land along Shoulderbone Creek a few miles from where it flows
into the Oconee River and so did the Fosters. William had claims Nos.
1863 of l-14-1783 for two hundred acres; 1994 of 11-20-1784 for two
hundred acres; and 285l of 4-1-1780 for one hundred acres for service in
the Virginia Continental line as a private. William^Òs will (8), dated
4-30-1799, and proved 10-25-1800, showing that he died in 1800, names his
wife, Jane, sons John, Thomas, William, Mumford, Dudley, David, Francis
and daughters Sarah (Thomas), Mary (Slaughter), Margaret (Bullock) and
Jane. His daughter,

JANE LAWSON was born in 1790 in Hancock County, Georgia. (9) She married
William Lewis Foster in Wilkes County, Georgia, on 3-11-1808. (l0) In
1799, Jane was named in the will of her father to receive a negro man and
negro woman, a bed and furniture, a horse and saddle, two cows and six
calves. She lived in Wilkes/Hancock/Washington Counties, Georgia (11)
until after 1820, when she and her husband and children moved to Monroe
County, Georgia. The family moved to Texas after 1837, and between that
date and 1845, her husband died. On 9-1-1845, she petitioned for a land
grant, saying that she was a widow, that the family had lived in Texas
for over three years, that the grants petitioned by her late husband,
William Lewis Foster, were community Property and that she was entitled
to the certificates. A six hundred and forty acre grant was made, and
another grant of a great deal more was made as court records indicate
several leagues. One grant was in Liberty County and one in Galveston
County, but they were finally claimed in Angelina and Houston Counties,
running together. She made a deed to James Barclay and one to William
John Lawson (supposedly a son by a cousin) previous to making her will,
in which she left her property to her son, William Lewis. Oil was
discovered on the property later and when the Kirby Lumber Company and
the Houston Oil Company were attempting to "take it over", Napoleon
Barclay, son of James, led the court fight to retain possession of it.
Descendants, which were numerous, received one hundred and sixty acres
each. Children of Jane were: William John Lawson, James (who was married
and had five children when they came to Texas), Shepp, William, Appless
(who married (1) a McGuire (2) Russell Sims, a cousin of her Ogden
son-in-law), Sarah (married Napoleon Charlton), Nancy (married Jack
Beam), "Polly" or Mary (married Lewis Rigsby), "Betsy" or Elizabeth
(married William Ferguson), "Jenny" or Virginia (married James Barclay),
and Lewis. Dates of William Lewis Foster are unknown but in the 1880
Census of Tyler County, Mary Foster Rigsby lists her father as being born
in Virginia. He died in Texas.

MARY FOSTER (Known as Aunt Polly) was born in Wilkes County, Georgia in
1816 and married in Monroe County, Georgia on 1-9-1831 to Lewis John
Rigsby. In 1840 they moved to Texas and lived in Angelina County, then
Tyler County. She studied the science and practice of medicine,
specializing in the treatment of women, and treated the ill in her
community all of her life. She was much beloved for her charitable works.
She died in Tyler County on 5-3-1893. Lewis Rigsby was born in North
Carolina in 1802 and died in Tyler County on 7-27-1892. (12) Children
were: Elizabeth Ann (married Jeremiah Todd Barclay), Jeff, Sarah Jane
(married (1) a Burke (2) a Millener), John Lewis, Franklin, Wyley
(married Sallie Good), Shep, Monroe (married Mildred Bradshaw), Emily,
Anne (married Jim Goolsbey), Frankie and William. She had one set of
triplets and several sets of twins in this group.

WOODLIEF FOY BARCLAY was born at Barclay, Texas on 12-24-1882 and died in
Waco, Texas on 4-5-1957. He is buried on the Barclay plot in Temple,
Texas. He married Margaret Helen MacGregor on 8-4-1904. Children of this
union: Margaret MacGregor and Martha Louise.

ELIZABETH ANN RIGSBY was born 7-13-1833, in Monroe County, Georgia, and
died 1-21-1890, in Barclay, Falls County, Texas. She was married
1-10-1849 to Jeremiah Todd Barclay (born 7-1-1826 in Alabama) who was
killed on election day, 8-3- 1850 by a disgruntled candidate named Hanks.
She married on 1-15-1857, Thomas Franklin Herring (9-12-1833 to 188_).
Children of this last marriage were Lewis, Cora (married Jake French),
Charles, Clinton, Lawrence Rice. She was an accomplished violinist and
taught music to all of her children. She had them read classics and the
dictionary as they could not go to college.

in Waco, Texas, on 10-24-1927. He married Martha King Ledbetter (born
9-2-1851 in Tennessee, died 7-16-1934 in Temple, Texas), and both are
buried on a family plot in Temple, Texas. Children of this union were

APPENDIX 6. News Article /The graves of Walter and Elizabeth Barclay,
"born 17-- and married January 25, 1804, Richmond, Kentucky " will be
marked soon. The Barclay-Barkley Society for Texas has ordered a marker
for these two old Barclay graves at the old Barclay cemetery at Hart Mill
near Woodville. The Beaumont Enterprize,1943

The markers are expected to arrive within 30 days, although no formal
dedication will be held until the time when war rationing of gasoline
will permit the attendance of members of the family from distant places.

The oldest living descendent of the two Barclays to be commemorated is
Mrs. Phoebe Arizona Bevil, now living at Warren with her daughter, Mrs.
Charles Masterson. Mrs. Bevil is a granddaughter of the first immigrants
to Texas, being the daughter of their son, Judge James Barclay, whose
wife was Virginia Ann America Foster. Mrs. Bevil has one son, Dr. Jack
Bevil of Hull, Texas.

Lack Information

Because of lack of information on the exact date of the death of this
Kentucky-wed couple, the graves were not marked by late descendants. On
the death of Elizabeth McQueen Barclay, the Bible passed on to the
families of others and was lost. It is hoped that throught this
publicity, if the old Bible still exists, information will be available
from its pages for completion of other data to for family records and
markers.

Sam Houston was a friend of the Barclays and interested Elizabeth and
Walter in coming to Texas. They lived for a time in Tennessee. Their
children were as follows: John, Anderson, Robert, David, William, James,
Jerry-Todd, Melton, Walter, Polly and Louise. The Barclays made their
next home in Alabama. Sam Houston persuaded Walter to act as convoy in
moving the Alabama Indians to Texas. They settled first in west Texas and
then moved to the Barclay settlement near Woodville.

Lived With Son

After the death of Walter, Elizabeth McQueen Barclay lived for a time
with her son, Judge James Barclay, in the old Barclay home still standing
near Woodville. This old home was in its original condition until recent
months. The front porch flooring has been replaced by concrete. This old
log manor house of pre-republic days was built by a member of the Hanks
family, who was a cousin of Abraham Lincoln, for Judge Barclay. The
Barclay slaves and Alabama Indians helped in its construction. Several
governors were guests there and sat on the old porch. One was Governor
Pease. Sam Houston was also a guest several times. Judge Barclay was
appointed by Sam Houston as the first government representative of the
Alabama Indians. He spoke their language fluently, and on the visits of
Sam Houston, the Indian chiefs with Sam Houston and Barclay held their
pow-wows just under the hill from the old log home.

Later, James Barclay became representative to the Texas legislature. He
rode horse or muleback to Liberty and caught the stagecoach from their to
the capitol. As judge of old Menard County (now Tyler), he oftentimes was
gone from home for long periods. As a protection to his family, he had
caused to be built a dugout hideaway across Cypress Creek. This was done
as a precaution against wild bands of straggling Indians and other
marauders. When during his absence such were noted, a warning was sounded
by the trusty Alabamas to the Barclay family. The slaves, led by "Old
Aunt Luzanne and Buck", led the family to Cypress Creek and packed or
swam them across. At such times, Elizabeth McQueen Barclay was bundled up
in the arms of the slaves and set safely across on the bank with the
other members of the Barclay family; also, the wife of James, who was
before her marriage Virginia Foster. This member of the family never
weighed more than ninety pounds and it was a favorite saying with the
personal slaves that "Massa Jim^Òs wife wasn^Òt no bigger than a piece of
soap after de washin^Ò!". When it came time to pack her across the creek,
she was told that they could easily carry across "two of her."

Many Descendants

There are many descendants of these two oldest members and many did their
part for their country and freedom in this war, one having joined the RAF
early and died in the service. This was George Frederick Johnston,
great-great-grandson of the original pioneers. Mayor Watt Barclay of
Woodville, George Boyd of Woodville, Virginia Boys of Warren, Mrs. Eva
Kelley of Hillister, Lim Bullock of Hillister, Mrs. C. M. Redman of Pt.
Arthur and others have served on the memorial committee, Mrs. Redman did
the research.

His brother, Henry A. Barclay, by then twenty-one, was still single and
farmed his own place. In the intervening ten years brother Walter had
married a young lady then 25 years of age who was born in Georgia and
they were the parents of a daughter and two sons. Thus given the
information available from the census to the title examiner as he or she
traces down the ownership of a tract of land from one generation to
another, sorting out who inherited from who and how the families of these
early pioneers developed as they settled the "new ground" which was Tyler
County at that time.

With the coming of title insurance, the orders for the preparation of an
abstract of title have just about ceased, except from oil companies and
persons who are interested in exploring for oil and gas. An abstract of
title is simply a copy of every legal document filed for record in either
the District Clerk^Òs office or the County Clerk^Òs office having to do
with a specified tract of land.

An abstract of title is prepared by first making up a list of the legal
documents from the abstract records mentioned above. In olden times, it
was necessary for someone to go to the County Clerk^Òs office and
District Clerk^Òs office and laboriously copy each legal document on
file.

Related to Senator Barkley (who became Vice-President)

Robert Barkley, Sr., and son were commemorated in late years for
Revolutionary service in North Carolina. At that time, Alben Barkley of
Kentucky, dedicated the monument erected by the DAR. Alben Barkley of
Kentucky is also a descendant of this Robert Barkley, Sr., of Rowan
County, North Carolina. Prior to North Carolina, the Barkleys (Barclays)
lived in Virginia and Pennsylvania and were pioneer immigrants with the
Rowans and the Todds into North Carolina. Robert^Òs will names Benjamin
Todd as executor and witnesses were John Hendrickson, Joseph Todd, Thomas
Todd, Walter and Elizabeth McQueen^Òs marriage in Madison County
(Richmond), Kentucky, lists William Todd as witness. One of Walter^Òs
sisters married a Todd. The Filson club Louisville has furnished a copy
of the record of this old marriage of Walter Barclay.

William D. Kizziah, registrar of deeds, furnished a copy of the old
Robert Barkley will from the records of the present Salisbury, Rowan
County, North Carolina courthouse. Mrs. Cynthia Ann Maupin of Illinois, a
Todd-Barclay descendant, sent a pencil sketch of the old Todd log home in
Kentucky. This sketch is copied from an original made "fifty years ago
from memory." These Barclays and Todds lived neighbors across Muddy
Creek, near Richmond, Kentucky. The old Barclay home in Kentucky was
purchased for a loom factory, moved away and restored to its original
condition. Its chimneys are rock instead of the earlier method used in
Texas of chinking. The Kentucky residences were similar log houses to the
old James Barclay home near Woodville, Texas, except each had two
stories, and the Todd home had no dog-trot hall. The Barclay home of
Kentucky had originally a dog-trot, although some later resident had this
enclosed.

The family Bible sought for further dates and information is thought
possible to have passed on to descendants in Bell or Robertson County,
Texas. It came down the long trek with the Barclay wagon train which was
comprised of Barclays, slaves and Indians, arriving in Texas before the
republic. The Barclays being devout, according to their traditions,
stopped often along the way for family prayer and council. At such time
the old family Book was their beacon to light an oftentimes dark and
treacherous path.

The old Barclay cemetery at Hart Mill is obscure and thick with
undergrowth and can be reached through a dense wooded area, not
altogether unlike it was when the original pioneers found it. A small
bridge used to cross over the old mill pond is said to have grown rickety
and it is hoped that future generations will remember and help to keep
this burial place in the future.

Barclays came before Texas was a republic, establishing one of the most
prominent families in east Texas.

1) David Barclay, father of Col. David Barclay, stated that there had
always been a Barclay Group. About 150 men and their families moved from
North Ireland around 1067 to Mathers Province, Scotland, this no doubt
for religious and economical reasons. This was after the Crusades, and a
Robert I was first king of Scotland before the wars with the Normandy
Saxons and British groups.

2) Col. David Barclay, son of above, married Lady Katherine Gordon, a
relative of the Stuart^Òs of Holland from which came Princess Elizabeth
of Holland and James I and II of the United Kingdom eventually. lady
Gordon owned "Gordonstun" later to become a Boarding School for boys and

1748 plus or minus. ENTER LORD GRANVILLE, PRIME MINISTER OF ENGLAND UNDER
KING JAMES II. One of the prior Robert^Òs was a friend of the King and
spent one summer visiting him. Lord Granville owned some lands in the
American Colony, which he did not return to the crown when he resigned
before the Revolutionary. War. Also the King had personal lands and title
appeared to be known as King Lines. John, the brother acquainted with he
Lord, possibly looked after his estate in Scotland, and made a deal to
come to the Colony and sell properties for the King and the Lord.
Abstract records indicate some of the transactions 1759-63, as an
example, but does not preclude prior transactions, just the ones that are
known. You ask why didn^Òt he get married sooner? Being Scotch, you know
the answer, couldn^Òt afford it sooner, and it was a custom for men to
wait later in life before marriage. Remember these boys were going
through Industrial Revolution oat home, the Renaissance, Reformation,
Indian, French Wars, and finally Revolutionary War of the Colonies
1776-79. He apparently lmarried a young lady for name of Leah ____. So it
was not impossible for her to be bearing children to him ate in his life.
- Eusibius Hubbard, a Captain, said that the Cornstalk Battalion was
called into service in 1777,which was old for our Robert, but he was
known to have been a Captain also.

	My father, Noah Sterling Barclay, stated to me that two brothers came to
North Carolina from SCOTLAND (not Ireland) both having large families
which the Family Groups show. Henry is name suggested for the brother
living in Orange County, N>R>? Three sons make an impression at least.
Samuel 1758? married Mary Davis 1784, inherited the homestead 1786 - 88,
for Robert, the brother from Missouri and Walter, the brother form
Woodville, Texas, both returned to Rowan Co. to help settle the estate.
THIS IS A FACT. However, the birth date of the last two just does not
meet date requirements, as their father gave them land in Kentucky, which
they only retained a short time and disposed of before separating and
going to Mo. and Texas, etc. Walter arrived in Texas 1826. Robert of Mo.
will be handled in clause No. (7). This Robert, the Rowan Co., one,
joined a Jersey Church as it was called the Jersey Church, which had been
a Quaker Church at Malapan, n. J. Two other groups, namely Baptist and
Campbelites, joined with he minister, Rev. john Gregory, and determined
it as a Baptist. later, Thomas and Alexander Campbell withdrew and joined
with Barton Stone in what was later known as the Christian Church
(Disciples) at Boynton , C. C. about thirty miles north of Robert^Òs home
on Buffalo Creek. So he could not have reasonably been a Catholic or the
John Barclays^Ò (Robert 1717-18) unaccounted for. Besides, he had enough
money to purchase livestock and other real and personal property from
Andrew Pitts on Oct. 13, 1759 to begin some form of agriculture. It took
him two years to get title from Lord Granville in England to 708 acres on
Buffalo Creek. At the same time, John Beard purchas4ed 280 acres
adjoining his, both paying 10 English Sterling Shillings, both
transactions being recorded on April 4, 1761. The John Barclay^Òs ,
brother and nephews of the Apologist ran the family Mercantile and
Shipping Business out of Dublin, Ireland.

	The David family went to England and was a successful business man. It
is possible that he or his off-spring started the Bank of England. met a
young lady from Salisbury, NC Rowan county, last week, and she stated
that Barclay^Òs Limited, and located in the area, was a branch of the
English bank, and that she was aware of where Buffalo Creek was. As to
the other Robert Barclay in the area at the same time, have been able to
determine who he was. One of the John Barclay^Òs in Penn. or NY, who
drove the first nail in the first building at Cornell University., had a
Robert who migrated to Rowan Co. and was a shoemaker, as advised by two
sisters in Iowa by rescent correspondence. Little imagination would be
required to write a book o this man, since one has already been written
on the Apologist. It is almost a miracle that so much information is
still available. Therefore, I hereby declare that Robert of Rowan Co. N.
C. n C. was the great grandson of Robert Barclay the Quaker Apologist.

7) Robert Barclay, son of Robert Barclay of Rowan Co., n. C., along with
his brother Walter, must have been born earlier in the sequence of
births, since they would have needed to be 18 or 21 years of age to have
ownership of land in Kentucky in 1784. Robert could have married Mary
Hubbard in Va. or Mo. before coming to Mo. and briefly settling near
Clinton, MO., wherein he declared or homestead on a tract of land on a
tributary to the Mo. river, which frequently became inundated. He later
acquired two tracts of land 3 1/2 miles wet and about six miles north of
Columbia, MO;, on a creek named for him later and still bearing the name.
It would not be too far from the Univ. of MO according to one of the
Deans of Tulsa Univ.

Evidently, the Davidsons and Atteberry^Òs were neighbors since there was
so much intermarriage of the children of each. Robert is reported to also
have been in the service of his county? From this marriage to Mary
Hubbard came among others, Derrett Hubbard Barclay, or extended
grandparents, who conceived 16 children, 12 of which lived to some age of
accountability, and from which has grown urge to compile a history, along
with some of his brothers and sisters. Family Group resumes will follow,
but as previously stated, I am proud to be a Barclay.

APPENDIX 7. Walter Barclay and Elizabeth McQueen Barclay

Walter Barclay (b. 1774) was the son of Robert Barclay of Rowan Co. N. C.
and Leah Barclay. Leah's maiden name is unknown. Robert and Leah had
around eleven children. Samuel was the oldest, and inherited all the
land, according to English law. William died. Walter and his brother
Robert went to Kentucky, where Robert owned some other land. They stayed
there about ten years. Walter may have had an earlier marriage and a son
from that marriage named Peter born before 1804. When Walter was 30 years
of age, he married Elizabeth McQueen, who was fourteen years of age in
1804. After the birth of several children, they moved into Tennessee, and
then to Alabama. Walter's brother Robert stayed in Kentucky. Peter stayed
in Kentucky (Richmond, Madison Co). There are many descendants in
Kentucky and Tennessee.

By the time the Barclays came to Texas, there were these children;
Robert, Anderson, James, Jeremiah-Todd and Milton, and two girls, Julia
and Polly. There were also the wives of Robert and Anderson, and some
children. Robert's wife was Sarah McKinsey, and their children who came
to Texas with them were Lacy Milton, Elizabeth, Walter, Robert, and James
F. Children Henry and Sara were born in Texas. Anderson and his wife and
some children, including William Walter and Anderson Jr. and maybe John
and David who came with them to Texas. Others were born in Texas.
Elizabeth Mc Queen Barclay's two brothers, Milton McQueen and -- McQueen
also came with the Barclays. They were not all living in the same state.
Some came from Kentucky, some came from Tennessee and some came from
Alabama. Also, Walter had originated in North Carolina. Therefore, the
conflicting information about where the Barclays came from to Texas.
James was a very young man, and did not marry until he had been in Texas
several years, when he married Virginia Foster. Jeremiah, a child when he
came to Texas, did not marry until 1849, when he married Elizabeth
Rigsby. Milton did not marry and died at age 30. The fact that the
parents as well as older sons and their children and younger sons who
were children all came is why there are differing numbers of generations
alive now in Texas and other places. There were greatgrand children of
Walter and Elizabeth Mc Queen Barclay who were the grandchildren of
Robert and Sara McKinsey by their son Lacy Milton and his wife Nancy Mc
Queen, Milton's daughter, before 1850. So, by 1850, there were already
four generations of Barclays in Tyler County. Here is the order. Walter
b. 1774, Robert b. 1806, Lacy Milton, then Lacy Milton's four children,
for example. On the other hand , the son of Jeremiah Todd, William
Anderson, was the third generation, etc.

APPENDIX 8. Robert Barclay

APPENDIX Robert Barclay

From: News Article, Tyler County Booster, Thursday, November 22, 1979

There are the censuses of Tyler County for the years 1850, 1860 and 1870,
telling us who lived in the county in those days, where they were born,
their ages and occupation and the value of their real estate. We note for
instance in 1850 that Sara Barclay, the widow of Robert Barclay, was
forty-three years of age and was born in Kentucky. She was the owner of
real estate valued at six thousand dollars, a mighty sum of money in that
year. Living with her were four sons; Walter, age 19; Robert, age 16;
James F., age 13, all born in Arkansas; Henry A., then age 11 and born in
Texas and her daughter Sarah, a girl of 10 in 1850.

Each of the children had attended school at some time during that year.
Her oldest son, Lacy M. Barclay, then twenty-four years of age and born
in Arkansas, also, had already married. His wife, Nancy, was then sixteen
years of age. She had been born in Tennessee. They were married during
that year and lived down the road in dwelling house #7, near Sarah, who
lived in dwelling house #26 on the government^Òs record. By the time of
the next census, Robert Barclay had married a young lady born in Texas
who was then eighteen years of age and they were the proud parents of a
one-year-old daughter. Robert had acquired $2,500.00 worth of real estate
and $1,225.00 worth of personal property. His brother, Henry A. Barclay,
by then twenty-one, was still single and farmed his own place. In the
intervening ten years brother Walter had married a young lady then 25
years of age who was born in Georgia and they were the parents of a
daughter and two sons. Thus given the information available from the
census to the title examiner as he or she traces down the ownership of a
tract of land from one generation to another, sorting out who inherited
from who and how the families of these early pioneers developed as they
settled the "new ground" which was Tyler County at that time.

Robert Barclay (b. 1806) was the oldest son of Walter (b. 1774) and
Elizabeth McQueen. He came to Texas after the others. He died before age
forty, around 1840. He left a will, an estate of six thousand dollars
worth of land and several children, including Lacy Milton and Walter (b.
1831). Robert^Òs widow, Sara, then married Milton McQueen. Robert and
Sara's children were: Lacy Milton, Elizabeth, Walter (James Walter, b.
1871, who married Martha Foster and later Mary J Mahaffey Powell) Robert,
James F, Henry Anson and Sara. Lacy Milton disappeared. Wife, Nancy
McQueen, died. James Walter, b. 1831, was thought to have raised Lacy
Milton's and Nancy's eight children along with his own eight.

This writer, Teddy Barclay Pope, thinks that Robert was the father of
James Walter b. 1831, from whom James Walter b. 1971 (wife Laura Pool)
and brother Henry (wife Clara Pool).are descended, Robert having been
James Walter b. 1871 and brother Henry's grandfather.

APPENDIX 9. Anderson Barclay - from various sources with some repeats

Anderson Barclay was the second oldest son of Walter Barclay b. 1774 and
Elizabeth Mc Queen Barclay. He was in the battle of the Bexar (county)in
December of 1935. in San Antonio, at the location of the battle of the
Alamo in February of 1836. He was also in Sam Houston's army for
independence. He received pensions of land for both of these activities.
Anderson had a family when he came to Texas with a son named Walter
William and several others. Walter Williams was known as an adult as WW.
Anderson's family concentrated in the Chester area and are mentioned in
the legal records. Apprendix notes names descendants of Anderson. There
were many more in addition to those named.

APPENDIX 10. James Barclay

James Barclay The most well-known nineteenth-century Texas Barclay was
James Mac Barclay, born 2/11/1816, son of Walter (born 1774) , and
husband of Virginia Foster Barclay. He was the first white man to set
foot in Tyler County (then Menard district). He was a folk hero of the
era.

Listed below are some things about James Barclay:

In 1852, James Barclay purchased the John Wheat Survey, southwest of the
present city of Woodville, and moved his family to this location at the
junction of Big and Little Cypress Creeks. About 1841, the members of the
Alabama Indian tribe, who were residents of the "Fenced-In Village" at
Indian Village at Peach Tree near Chester, had begun drifting southward
and established a village on the John Wheat Survey.

James Barclay was very active in community and political affairs in Tyler
County. He was the sheriff and the County Judge. Probate records indicate
he was named as executor of many area citizen^Òs estates. In addition, he
was twice elected to the Texas legislature. He was elected as the
District 34 representative in the Eighth Legislature, which met in
November, 1859 and adjourned April 9, 1861. Sam Houston was governor
during that session. James Barclay, Sam Houston, and thirteen other
members of the legislature resigned their offices rather than take an
oath of allegiance to the Confederate States Government. B. F. Ross
served the unexpired term of James Barclay. James Barclay was again
elected to the Tenth Legislature which covered the period November 22,
1863 to November 15, 1864.

James Barclay is also credited with serving as the first Indian Agent of
the Alabama Indian tribe which is now located between Woodville and
Livingston. At that time, they were located in the Warren area (Village
Mills). In Sam Houston^Òs writing, there is a letter replying to James
Barclay, who was very concerned about the harsh treatment the Alabama
Indians were receiving at the hands of white settlers. James Barclay,
through Sam Houston, was instrumental in obtaining the original land for
the Indian tribe.

The James Barclay farm stands today. It was built in Tyler County, Texas
in 1842. It is out the Woodvill to Livingston Highway about five miles.
Then five miles down a dirt road to the left of the highway. The farm has
a Texas Historical Society marker. The house is built of hand hewn logs
and of the dog-trot style. The middle is closed in. The house is lived in
today. Fireplaces are at both ends and the original plantation bell is
mounted on a tall post. James and Virginia Foster Barclay had twelve
children.

From the pension applications of the AOR ( army of the republic)

James Barclay, Tyler Co., Jun 1874. Age 58 in 1873. He volunteered in Jul
1836 for service in Capt. Ingraham^Òs company raised in Jasper.

Gideon J. Goode and William Byerly, both of Jasper Co., were acquainted
with Barclay and served in same expedition with him.

Barclay was born in Tennessee and came to Texas in 1834. He died 14 Dec.
1873 after his wife died in 1857. His children filed for the pension and
were named: Avarilla Risinger (adminx.), Mary L. Beatty, Jane E. Bullock,
J. Walter Barclay, Phoebe A. Barclay, William F. (X) Barclay. They all
resided in Tyler County. John M. Taylor was mentioned as an applicant.

APPENDIX 11. Jerimiah Todd Barclay

Jeremiah Todd was named for the Todd family which his father's sister had
married into (son of Gen. Todd of Penn., also related to Mary Todd who
married Abe Lincoln, against the family's wishes.(They said he wouldn't
amount to anything.)Jeremiah-Todd was the fourth son of Walter Barclay
and Elizabeth McQueen Barclay. He was a child when the family came to
Texas. He married Elizabeth Rigsby. They had a baby son named William
Anderson Barclay. On election day, 1850 , Jeremiah Todd was shot dead by
a Mr. Hanks in an incident that was unrelated to the election. There was
some story about an argument and JTB telling Mr. Hanks that the evidence
was buried in a blue bottle and trying to get Mr. Hanks to go with him
and look at the evidence. Instead, Mr. Hanks shot him dead. Others went
afterward to dig up the blue bottle, and sure enough, there was the
evidence. A warrant was put out on Mr. Hanks and a posse followed. James
Barclay was the sheriff. There were some other Barclay men in the posse.
They camped out near Rosebud and Lott Texas for several weeks while
hunting Mr. Hanks. People who knew they were there referred to their camp
as the Barclays. There put in a crop, one story told, and later when back
and harvested it. They did not find Mr. Hanks. There returned to Tyler
County.

Elizabeth Rigsby Barclay returned with her baby son to her people. She
remarried. When son William Anderson Barclay was ten years old, he
boarded a wagon train headed for Tyler county. When he got to the Mt Hope
area on the Old Spanish Trail (Chester area), word was sent to James
Barclay that he had a nephew on the train. James could either come get
him, or he could be bonded to another man on the wagon train, which would
pay for his transportation, and he would ride on further west with the
wagon train. James Barclay went and got W. A. and took him to live on his
farm. He stayed there until he was sixteen years of age and then, riding
a mule and carrying the Bible James gave him for guidance, he headed out
for Falls county to see what had become of Mr. Hanks. When he got there,
he found out that Mr. Hanks was dead of another cause. W. A. got a job,
traded his mule for a horse when he was able and prospered. He ended up
with a big general store and a plantation of 2,000 acres. The town
referred to him as big man Barclay, and they officially named the town by
his name, which it had been called informally before.

Time passed, and Texas put in a blue law. The law was new. One cotton
season, it was time for the crop to be picked, and pickers came in by the
wagonloads. They needed supplies. Mr. Barclay told his general store
manager to open by the store and give the pickers the supplies they
needed. It was a Sunday night. The sheriff went over and gave Barclay a
citation. Barclay's position was that the blue law applied to selling,
and he wasn't selling the supplies, he was giving it to them. The
citation stood. It made Mr. Barclay so mad, he closed his store and
opened another one in a nearby settlement. After the store was gone,
people had no reason to go there, so the settlement shrank, the
blacksmith shop closed, etc. In old age, WA passed his plantation down to
his oldest son, who had no interest in running it, having other business
endeavors. The running of the plantation was passed down to the second
son, who had little experience or knowledge of how to run it. In the
1920's it was divided into small farms of 60 acres and sold to people,
most of whom still have the farms to day, held by their descendants. They
grow corn.

The Barclays moved to Waco and Temple. Today, there is a settlement of
six or seven houses. There are no children, but if there were, they would
go to Rosebud or Lott schools. They get their mail delivered by Buddy, to
a big box and the all go pick up their mail at the box. Buddy is a postal
carrier out of Rosebud. There are no businesses or anything other than
houses. It is in the vacinity of Temple, Texas. There is a Barclay
cemetery, but there are no Barclays buried in it, as they went to Temple
and Waco. A the turn of the century, there had been 100 children enrolled
in the Barclay school, which was big enough to have several teachers,
about the size of Chester schools at that time.

WILLIAM ANDERSON BARCLAY was born in Tyler County on 12-23-1849 and died
in Waco, Texas, on 10-24-1927. He married Martha King Ledbetter (born
9-2-1851 in Tennessee, died 7-16-1934 in Temple, Texas), and both are
buried on a family plot in Temple, Texas. Children of this union were
Isaac Cramer (died in childhood), Goodhue Wilson, Rigsby Ledbetter,
Woodlief Foy and Bernice Martha (married James B. Whitley; only child,
James Barclay, died at Corregedor, Phillipines in World War II).

was born at Barclay, Texas on 12-24-1882 and died in Waco, Texas on
4-5-1957. He is buried on the Barclay plot in Temple, Texas. He married
Margaret Helen MacGregor on 8-4-1904. Children of this union: Margaret
MacGregor and Martha Louise.
