NOTES: 1. Pam and Bob Wagner visited Pennington Cemetery in Texas and have seen and taken photos of headstones of Hallmark family members, including "J.M. Hallmark bn Oct 30, 1827, Died May 5, 1893. Izora McGinty and Molly Hallmark both say this is his grave. Molly second wife of Jacob Newton Hallmark. Izora daughter of Jacob Newton Hallmark. They also showed us where each of the boys lived, not far from Pennington Cem, and which I have drawn a map of. 2. 30 Mary 1963: Personal interview with Izora by Pam and Bob Wagner-James Minett lived in Valley Springs. Came later than "boys" by 1-2 years, then lived Kingsland. Was a farmer, then changed to railroad work as a section foreman. Obtained pictures showing James, Isaac and Carrie, Letha, Carrie after to Ore., Aubra and Isaac, and Isaac, Willie and Aubra. Lake Buchanon - when flooded, had to move 600 or more graves. Pennington Cem has 12-15 Hallmarks buried there, James Minet too, & 2 babies by 1st wife - 6 children. (we only have 7 names of Hallmarks buried there) So many people didn't want them to move cemetery - wanted to build a cement wall around it, but not work. The Hallmarks asked to have the bodies moved right away. Had to move 6 cemeters when building the dam Bought new boxes for each body. Some bodies there many years - had to scoop up darkened dirt & put in casket. People were paid so little for the land that was taken. The Hallmarks were living along the river, & the state just came & took it. Had a huge pecan orchard (45 acres). Had all the fish they wanted. Couldn't catch any there now. Caught some as big as 60-75 # (Wm Jackson). Caught some by hand. One hung from shoulders to ground. David (sn of Wm Jackson) & Tony (Uncle Ben's boy) had it on a stick & held it on their shoulders. Could see it in the water, as the water cleared--just reached in under the gills & pulled it out. Wm Jackson liked his cold fish--cooked it up first, then put in flour sacks & eat it cold. Molly got tired of it. "I just couldn't take it." Catfish is good cold. Ed had 3 boys - all dead. 2 girsl, now living Ft Worth. One boy killed on tractor - driving on highway. John - had 2 boys - dead Lindsay, Monroe & Ide living - Doole, near Brady. Wm Jackson lived Valley Springs before moving to Burnett Raymond's sister has been a receptionist in Austin - Breckinridge Hospital Edna Faye Stock (grdau of Lindsay), Charles Stock, 466 Alicia, San Antonio Eddy & Earl md Peacock girls - Peacock died of heart attacks - 2/9 living. Wm Raymond, son of Wm Jackson, hit by train & died (see Wm Raymond Hallmark) Jimmy - Limestone or Bell County - hunted out new country, settled on Llano River. Not much mail then. When rest of family found them, came west too. Everyone came. Grandpa Hallmark - Jack was 16 yrs old. Place called Smoothen Iron Mtn. Grandpa Hallmark and wife (#2), Eveline went off & left the boys to batch. Jan 12, big snow. Their teams worked out, got snow on them, couldn't walk, so had to knock snow off feet. Jack's 16th birthday. spent whole day cleaning snow off team's feet. Bought the land where Stribbling bought. Dee & Jim only ones not found on home near dad. After father's death, all the boys scattered. Jasper Newton had a big family, lived near Grandpa, near Bastrop County, called Hallmark Prairie. Jas lived in Llano Co & raised a large family. Jasper was James Minet's brother. (Pam's impression at time of conversation - Mrs WJ Hallmark 83 yrs old, spry, get around, quite a talker, Church of Christ, snuff dipper, very friendly, enjoyed very much) 3. Several records show parents of James Minett as: a. Richard Hallmark and Mary Ann Prewitt (dau of Jacob Prewitt and Nancy Ritchey) of Walker Co Alabama 1830. Letter from Mary Hallmark 9 Feb 1968. b. Richard Hallmark (1780/Ala) and Nancy (Ritchey?)(1803?/Ala) from Izora McGinty Jan 1963. Says moved to Alabama in 1807, had 15 children. James Minett and most of brothers and sisters born there. c.
