Chinquapin

Chinquapin community seemed to be in the southern edge of Freestone County or 
over in Leon County. Also time period seems to be 1902-1909.

The following columns are from Nancy Rula's obituary books Volume II is not marked otherwise:
Chinquapia              [Vol I - pg. 125]
Chinquapin              pg. 16, pg. 31, pg. 183, [Vol I - pg. 115]
Chinquepin              pg. 23, pg. 25, pg. 52, pg. 81, pg. 86, pg. 90, pg. 102, pg. 158

I guess this community was named after chinkapin / chinquapin oak trees. 

The people discussed in the obituary column were:
old grandma Bryan of Buffalo [Sarah C. (Aycock) Bryan buried at Buffalo cemetery]
J[ames] R. Lookingbill [buried at Buffalo cemetery]
Mrs. Lucy (Monk) Curry of Little Star buried at Buffalo cemetery
Mrs. Palmira Conaway of Buffalo buried at Harrison Chapel graveyard
Carroll Whitt (makes reference to the railroad)  [cannot find grave]
A. Holland   [cannot find grave]
Mrs. Mary Squyres of Mart
Watt Walker, formerly of this county, at Rotan, Fisher Co.
a former slave old Aunt Caroline (Green) Hill that belonged to Dock Williamson [cannot find grave]
Mrs. S. G. Graham of Little Star buried at Buffalo cemetery
Rev. M. M. Vaughan
John Eakin of Mustang community, moved to Mart
Mr. M[arion] L[umpkin] Lee [buried at Harrison Chapel cemetery]
[from Vol I] 10 mth old baby girl of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Lee of Little Star [cannot find grave]
[from Vol I] a former slave old Uncle Dave Green that belonged to Dock Williamson [cannot find grave]

So Harrison Chapel which is F.C., Little Star which is F.C., Mustang seemed to 
be Leon Co. or F.C. depending on time period, and Buffalo is Leon Co.

The Chinquapin columns were all penned as PUNCH AND JUDY, except for the last one 
penned by OLD TIMER.
