Text: Quoted from the page:
"I am making an assumption that Mary, wife of Joseph d. 1788, was Mary THREADGILL. I found mention of this in the Anson Co, NC Heritage Book but haven't been able to verify it . The only Mary THREADGILL I have been able to find in the records is the daughter of John and Anabell THREADGILL, born 17 Oct 1743, Surry or Sussex Co, VA. Mary had a brother William. A William THREADGILL, Jr. witnessed the will of Joseph COLSON d. 1788. They also had land bordering a William THREADGILL. From what I understand, the Will of John THREADGILL does not mention Mary. I have not been able to
find this will as of yet."

STEELE, Harry (I7)
 
208 He was a Captain with Company F of the 36 Mississippi Infantry CSA

James Nathaniel Denson, the youngest son of Shadrach James and Alethia Chambers Denson, was their first child born in Scott County. His early education was obtained at the male academy at Brandon, Mississippi, where his father maintained a house during the school year so that his children could attend the male and female academies located there as there was not a school near their home in Scott County.

Beginning his professional life as a farmer, he owned by 1859 four slaves and some 320 acres in Scott County. Prior to the Civil War he studied medicine under his elder brother, Dr. Josiah C. Denson, who served as mentor. Following his return from the war he continued his studies at the University of Louisiana during the 1869-70 term, obtaining from the Mississippi State Board of Health on 11 May 1882. Throughout his life he was affectionately known as "Dr. Jim" and was ready night and day to attend to those in need of medical care. At all times a horse and buggy were kept ready for him so that he could easily come to the aid of those who had summoned him.

Like those so many of his neighbors and relatives, the life of James N. Denson was, at first, interrupted and later drastically changed by the Civil War. Early in the struggle for Southern independence he answered the call to arms of his infant country. On 5 Mar 1862, he joined, at Meridian, County F, 36th Regiment, Mississippi Infantry, which was commanded by his brother, Col. Thomas J. Denson. Proving himself an able leader of men, he was swiftly promoted through the ranks. He served his unit as 1st Sergeant and later Lieutenant. On 26 May 1862 was named Regimental Acting Chief of Staff.

By July 1863 James N. Denson had been promoted to the rank of captain and found himself and his compatriots defending the besieged port of Vicksburg. Called "The Gibraltar of the South", Vicksburg stood as the last bastion of the Confederacy on the Mississippi and the last link between the eastern and western portions of the infant nation. After weeks of almost constant bombardment from the northern invaders, starvation and deprivation, the weary defenders were forced to surrendered the city on 4 Jul 1863. James N. Denson, along with the other survivors of General Pemberton's gallant defenders, found himself a prisoner of war. Signing an oath not to take up arms against the Federal government nor to act in any capacity for the Confederate government until he had been exchanged, he was released.

James N. Denson's tour of duty ended when his unit was surrendered at Blakely, Alabama on 9 Apr 1865. He was interred at Ft. Massachusetts on Ship Island on 15 Apr 1865. Upon his release, he made his way back to Scott County on foot. From 1888-1890, he served as president of the Leake County veterans association.

A document found in his service record contained information concerning his physical appearance. It stated that he was 5'10," of fair complexion, with blue eyes and dark hair. He was a farmer by profession and born in Scott County.

Conditions being what they were in Scott County following the War, James N. Denson decided to leave Ludlow. By 1872, James N. Denson began selling his property in Scott County and the next year he and his young family were living in Leake County. Three years later he bought a vast amount of acreage from R. W. and R. S. Harris which encompassed much of the area around Tuscola (then called Pensacola) in Leake County. Also sold to him was land in Scott County and two town lots in Forest. Here at the old Harris home he established himself, his family and later his medical practice.

Like his father before him, James N. Denson served in the Mississippi legislature and was a staunch and stalwart supporter of the Baptist church From 1874 until 1878, he represented Leake County in the Mississippi State House of Representatives. He served for many years as a delegate to the Harmony Association and other associations with which his churches were affiliated, as well as the Mississippi Baptist Convention.

In 1882, James N. Denson made plans to move his family to Harperville in Scott County where he had earlier established his medical practice and where his eldest daughter, Ida, and her husband, Colon McMurphy, had already settled. On 28 Aug an advertisement appeared in The Carthaginian in which he offered to sell his 460 acre plantation on the Tuscolameta Creek (250 acres of which were cultivated), along with the original two story, six room plantation home which had been sold to him by the Harris family. His plans to move his family were thwarted in November 1883 when his home in Pensacola burned forcing him to return to Pensacola.

Mary Foster (Lee) Denson died of cancer at Tuscola on 21 December 1895 and was buried in the old Sweetwater Cemetery located to the northwest of Tuscola on Mississippi Highway 487. After her death, her widower retired from farming and moved back to Ludlow. Since their eldest son, Dr. James Oscar Denson, had already established his medical practice and family at Lake Como in Jasper County, Dr. James N. Denson turned over the operation of his plantation to his second son, Robert Lee Denson. Finding that his aptitude was not for large-scale farming and preferring a more scholarly vocation, Robert L. Denson relinquished management of his father's land to his younger brother, Josiah Hunter Denson.

In Ludlow, Dr. James N. Denson resided with his brother-in-law and niece, Thomas Hugh Lee and his wife, Alethia Jane Denson, and headquartered his medical practice at Lee's store. Two years later, he moved his letter back to Jerusalem Baptist Church and in 1904 and 1906, he sold most of his remaining land in Tuscola to two of his sons, Richard Burr Denson and Josiah Hunter Denson.

Never failing in his service to his church and community, in 1901 he co-authored a history of the church his parents helped establish. In 1905 and 1906 he served as a member of the Board of Trustees of Ludlow High School, as well as being its secretary-treasurer. He remained active in both ecclesiastical and civic affairs until his death in 1908.
James Nathaniel Denson died on 20 Mar 1908 at the age of 71 years, nine months and three days. His body was interred in the Tuscola Cemetery.

209 Hello Pat,

I do hope that my test email not bouncing back is a
sign that this is still a valid email for you. My
name is Annie (Antoinette) Haste & I am Maxine Haste's
granddaughter. We spoke many years ago, but I failed
to keep in touch (which I deeply regret). Recently, I
moved from Texas to Seattle Washington and discovered
the letter which you so generously sent to me in
December 1999. It included the only photo's of Maxine
in her youth (let alone any members of the Chambers
clan) that I had ever seen and a wonderful letter.
Shortly, after our brief communication, my family went
through several changes and I moved out of my parents
home. It was at this point that I misplaced your
contact information and honestly was so wrapped in
school and work that I kept putting off getting in
touch with you until I felt much guilty about the
length of time that had passed and that you might be
angry with me for not getting back in touch (not much
maturity I'm afraid). I also deeply regret that I
must be the bearer of some bad news. Although, Maxine
was able to live with my family for a year following
the death of my grandfather, she did pass away some
time ago (2001-I believe). I will have to ask my
mother for the exact date. Per her request, there was
no ceremony and she was cremated (the wanted their
remains to be spread over Haste Ranch in WY).
Unfortunately, throughout her life (this is what I
have been able to piece together from my father and
some of my cousins) she suffered greatly from
depression and paranoia. This is what I believe led
to her severing ties with her closest family members.
And thus explains why she never wanted to discuss her
past, prior to meeting my grandfather. I want to
assure you, though, that my mother (Lynn Haste) & I
were able to care for her right up until she had to be
hospitalized following a stroke. It was my great
privilege to get to know her before her death. There
were times when she was the wittiest, most charming
woman I have ever met. She never spoke of her
childhood, unfortunately. So if not for you, I would
know next to nothing. I would be happy to send you
photos of her from the time that she lived with us and
one I recently discovered among some old papers of her
in her late teens to early 20's that is lovely.
Thanks so much for your time. Please forgive my
terrible breach of faith. I hope you and yours are
well.

Sincerely,

Annie Haste

218 IN THE CARE OF
Cook-Walden Davis Funeral Home
November 22, 1971 - March 31, 2022
Shannon Lear Martin, of Georgetown Texas, died unexpectedly on March 31st as the result of an improbable accident during routine horse training. While she lived more during her 50 years than most would do with double that time, Shannon’s sudden and untimely passing leaves a huge hole in her family and the many communities she contributed to so passionately.

Born in Escondido, California, to JoLynn Long and Donald Lear, Shannon’s formative years included stints in Mississippi, California, New Jersey, South Africa, and Germany. She graduated in 1992 from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, with a degree in International Studies. So many moves developed a passion for travel that never faded, and honed her remarkable ability to drop into new groups and situations with ease. Who else would fly to London and back just to keep American Airlines executive platinum status?

Her professional life combined technology and education into a variety of leadership roles supporting internal teams and the customers they served. Shannon – who earned the nickname “Ninja” – had an uncanny knack for figuring things out, making them better, and helping others take full advantage of available tools and information. Whether running her own IT business, planning a major customer event, or reworking an operational team, she impacted thousands of colleagues with her leadership ability, sharp humor, and relentless drive. Following a rich tenure at travel marketplace HomeAway/Expedia (2009-2020), Shannon joined caregiver marketplace Care.com, where she was recently promoted to Vice President. In her own words, she sought out challenges to “build something big. I love bringing a team together, creating a shared vision and goal, energizing everyone and accomplishing something that makes a difference. I like it when we can change things for the better. If there's a big problem to be solved, the energy to solve it is infectious."

While her career was meaningful, Shannon’s most important team was her family. Shannon’s most cherished role was being mother to Avery. Their close bond moved between guiding discipline and joyful camaraderie with ease. Shannon was known to bring Avery along to concerts, and their time together at horse shows created lasting memories. With Mitch she loved planning adventures, everything from sailing the British Virgin Islands to achieving their vision with the home in Georgetown (Rancho MAS — Mitch, Avery, Shannon).

Shannon never did anything in half-measures, and her vibrant smile lit her path. Her love of 80s music was legendary; she imprinted this love on her family through endless non-negotiable Depeche Mode sing-a-longs. Shannon’s long love of Snoopy has become a staple of her home’s decor with numerous paintings and collectables.

Shannon volunteered extensively at Hill Country Bible Church Georgetown, doing everything from Audio/Visual to working with teens to lead summer Bible camps. She was very active in Central Texas Dressage Society, where she competed and also served as webmaster. During the last several years, her passion brought her to ballroom dancing through Dance with Me USA and Let’s Dance Austin. This community brought her incredible joy, new friendships, and a healthy collection of awards. Whether participating in dressage training and competition, out on the boat with her family and friends, leading a work project, or even mucking stalls, her infectious laugh made those in her presence feel special.

Shannon is survived by her dear husband of 22 years, Mitch Martin; mother JoLynn Long; father Donald Lear; daughters Avery and stepdaughter Haley. She was preceded in death by her stepfather, Jack Long. Her impact on colleagues and friends will ripple for decades.

Services will be held on Thursday, April 7th, at Hill Country Bible Church in Georgetown, Texas, at 2pm. Attendees are invited to join the family at a reception following the service at Celebrino Event Center.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to H.E.L.P. Center of Austin. This special place is the current home of the Martins’ first beloved horse, Moon, acting as a special needs therapy horse.

230 Katie was a favorite aunt of mine. She was a wonderful lady. When aunt Katie lived in Baton Rouge, LA I went to visit her with my cousin Richard Lowery, I knew his as Dick. We had a great time with Katie. She worked at the Louisiana Department of Transportation in Baton Rouge in the computer department. She took me to visit there and I knew I wanted to go into computers when I graduated. She bought this chicken in a can and we loved to eat it. She also make turned us on to coffee with chicory. The brand was Community Coffee and I drank it for years afterwards. I remember watching American Bandstand at her house with my cousin and seeing The Byrds perform is still a wonderful memory for me. When she got sick with Emphysema after Uncle Bernie died she moved to Jackson, MS. She loved Uncle Bernie very much and when he died I believe that she started dying herself. She was very lonely. I would go over to her house and sit with her and rub her back and pound on it to dislodge the mucus in her lungs. It was a difficult time for me to watch her struggle breathing. She had two dogs one named Licker because that is all she did was lick. I remember seeing her in the hospital and it was very hard to see her so ill. She was a very lovely woman and I still miss her terribly. STEELE, Kathrin Jamie (I7529)

235 Letter to Mom Steele from uncle Mack's friend,Ray Adams who was with him when he was wounded. Aug 1943
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cpl. Mack Denson Steele: b 9 Oct 1918--Neola, IA
d 23 Nov 1942--Algeria North Africa
Buried--Jackson, MS
Uncle Mack was a member of the 168th Infantry Battalion, 34th Division, a unit of the Iowa National Guard. He had been in England and Ireland training with the British commandos as a Ranger, under the command of General William Orlando Darby--of Darby's Rangers fame.

There was a 1958 movie starring James Garner by the same name--Darby's Ranger. Lib always giggled that, "Mack was quite a ladies man and could have always had what he wanted, if you understand what I mean!" A real Steele man no doubt!!

The story I heard over the years was that he was riding on a railroad flatcar on the way to Tunisia when a German ME 109 fighter aircraft strafed the train. He was hit in the chest and lived for a day or so before he died.

Lib told me that Mom and Margie travelled to Iowa to see him after the war and that he was unable to tell Mom anything because he broke down whenever he tried to tell her. He was so overwrought with grief that he couldn't tell Mom what Mack's dying words were. Lib also related that when the German aircraft strafed the train Mack threw his body in front of a fellow soldier and took the brunt of the bullets. She also said that a Catholic Chaplain administered last rites to Uncle Mack.

He was interred in a city cemetery in Algiers, Algeria and then at some point reinterred in a British cemetery for war dead. There were two British Cemeteries I found on the internet and based on my conversation with Libby it would be the El Alia Cemetery.

However, there is another possibility and that would be the La Reunion Cemetery. I personally believe it had to be the El Alia Cemetery as it is fairly close to the Bay of Algeria and Lib mentioned that where he was buried overlooked the Mediterranean Sea. Margie and Libby disagree on whether he was interred twice before being returned to America. Margie says twice and Lib says once. Who knows? Lib deferred to Margie over the issue whether he was buried twice in Algeria. Additionally, Margie said that Pop and Uncle Jim did not want Mack’ remains brought home.

According to Margie, Mom Steele wanted him moved back to America and buried in Jackson, but Uncle Jim and Daddy tried to talk her out of it and wanted him left in at peace in the British Cemetery. According to Margie, he was going to be reinterred in a new American Cemetery in Algeria and Mom insisted that since he was being moved from the British Cemetery he should be returned home. She insisted he be reinterred in America.

Margie also indicated that Mom Steele wanted to see his remains to make sure it was Mack. She said there was a scar over one of his eyes and she wanted to make sure they didn't send someone else's body to her. She didn't get her wish though as the remains would have been a shambles I'm sure and it would have been devastating for her to have seen her son in that condition which would have left such a gruesome, lasting impression. Margie also recounted that soldiers stood guard at the funeral home and the cemetery. Apparently this was standard procedure for war dead being brought home. She also indicated that the casket was beautiful. Mack Denson Steele is buried between Mom Steele and Pop Steele in Lakewood Cemetery in Jackson, MS.

He had enlisted in the Iowa National Guard in January 1941--nearly a year before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

At the 27-acre North Africa American Cemetery and Memorial in Tunisia rest 2,841 of the military dead of the United States of America. Their headstones are set in straight lines subdivided into nine rectangular plots by wide paths, with decorative pools at their intersections. Along the southeast edge of the burial area, bordering the tree-lined terrace leading to the memorial is the Wall of the Missing. On this wall 3,724 names are engraved. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified. Most honored here lost their lives in World War II in military activities ranging from North Africa to the Persian Gulf.

The chapel and the memorial court, which contain large maps in mosaic and ceramic depicting the operations and supply activities of American forces across Africa to the Persian Gulf, were designed to harmonize with local architecture. The chapel interior is decorated with polished marble, flags and sculpture.


The cemetery lies between the Mediterranean and the
Bay of Tunis, atop part of ancient Roman Carthage. It was
established in 1948 to consolidate temporary cemeteries in
North Africa. The government of Tunisia granted its free
use as a permanent burial ground in perpetuity without
charge or taxation.

Getting there:
It is 10 miles from the city of Tunis and 5 miles from it's airport. It can be reached by taxicab from the city or airport.
There is an electric commuter train from Tunis - the nearest stop is Amilcar station and is only a two or three hundred yard walk to the cemetery.

(1821-1863)

(1832-1874)

SUSAN E.5 DENSON (Shadrach James4, Shadrach3, James2, James1) b. 1832 Rankin Co., MS, d. 1874 Scott Co., MS. md. bef. 1856 Scott Co., MS, Milton Henry Burks, b. 8 Apr 1821, Talbot Co., GA, Milton Henry d. 5 Oct 1863 Scott or Newton Co., MS son of James Lyon Burks and Martha Robinson.

The Burks family had removed to Scott Co., MS from Georgia in the mid-1840s. According to his grandson, Thomas J. Burks, James L. Burks was traveling west through Mississippi. While stopped in Scott County his party camped on the Coffee Bogue near the home of Shadrach J. Denson. Discovering that their wives cousins, James L. Burks decided to settle in Scott County. How much of this story is true is not known, but it can be surmised that it was already known by James L. Burks that his wives’ kinsmen were in the area, thus prompting a move into Scott County. At this writing, it is not known how Martha (Robinson) Burks’ father, John Robinson, was related to Alethia (Chambers) Denson’s mother, Christian (Robinson) Chambers. However, both families are known to have originated in Richmond Co., NC.

Milton H. Burks was, like so many others, primarily a farmer by profession. In 1850 he owned four slaves and 106 acres, with only six of those acres being improved. Ten years later his operation had more than doubled, consisting of 240 acres valued at $2,500. His personal estate was worth $7,000, which included six slaves.

In addition to being a farmer, Milton H. Burks also served Scott County in the capacity of a justice of the peace. The first year for such service was 1855.

During the Civil War, the Burks family held membership in the Hayes Creek Baptist Church, near Harperville, Scott County. They no doubt had moved their membership to be near Susan (Denson) Burks’ father, who was pastor of the church during the war. In 1863 Milton H. Burks died and his death was recorded in the minute book of the church. His place of death has not been ascertained, but it is believed to have been Newton County although the family held membership in this Scott County church Perhaps it was his widow, who died 11 years later, who died in Newton County.
