Notes:

Mary's second name is spelled variously--Asilla, ASilla, A Silla, but her daughter, Annie Jennings Cunningham, notes that "my mother's name in our old family Bible was spelled with a S instead of a C; it was Mary A. Silla. [letter to Jan Jennings in Tulsa, OK from Mrs. H. (Annie) Cunningham in Lockney TX (c1976)]
The family of John Thomas Stallings (1843- ) and Sarah Thomas Stallings, moved from Bedford County TN after the Civil War to Fannin County TX. The family farmed near Honey Grove for about eight years. Their oldest son, Daniel Orzo, came to Swisher County TX in 1890 with Joe Cantrell, Otto Jennings, and brother-in-law Veto Jennings. "Pleased with this area, Daniel Orzo Stallings filed on land and invited the others to come to this new land of opportunity. By the time the rest of the family arrived by wagon, taking 18 days to make the trip, a severe drougth had struck. Instead of breaking sod, they rented land from Judge Settle. By 1893 good crops put the family on their feet financially. They were among the first to raise Kaffir corn, maize and wheat."

Notes:

On July 13, 1861, at the age of 18, J.T. enlisted in the Confederate Army at Unionville, Tennessee. On May 12, 1864, he was shot through the knee at Drury's Farm, captured and taken to a Union hospital later to spend time in prisons at Point Lookout, MD. and City Point, VA. He told of having a handkerchief run through his wound before being sent to the hospital.
On July 25, 1865 he was released and furnished transportation from Lookout, Virginia to Shelbyville, Tennessee. He and Sallie, daughter of Elias Kees Thomas were married on February 20, 1868 in Bedford County, Tennessee.
Five of their six children (all of whom were given a classical [or] biblical name) were born there in Bedford County. Sometime between the births of Albert Andrew 1882 in Bedford County and Fenton Augustus 1884 in Fannin County, Texas, the Family moved to Honey Grove, Texas.
Ozro, the eldest, went to Swisher County in 1890 with friends and Veto Jennings [my great-great grandfather], (his brother-in-law). Pleased with the area, Ozro filed on the land and invited the others to come to "this new land of opportunity."
After Sallie's death, J.T., who was an imposing figure more than six feet tall, weighing at least 300 pounds, lived the rest of his days, until around 1910, with either our family or that of Uncle Dosh. One thing I remember when he lived with us was that he was sent down to the town pumping station periodically to take a bath. They had hot water there -- the only place where there was hot water and a tub large enough for him.
