General Notes for Child William Thomas Ritchie
Buried in the Bethel Cemetery, Sanger, Fresno Co., CA.
Served in the CSA as a private (named William T. Richey, sic) in Captain
Perry Clayton's Company, 30-Day Volunteers. This company was raised in
response to Colonel Borland's call of November 5, 1861, mustered into the
Confederate service on November 9, 1861, for 30 days, and discharged on
December 9, 1861, at Pitman's Ferry, Arkansas. This information obtained
from Bryan R. Howerton, found at
ww.couchgenweb.com/civilwar/clayton.html. Also on this roster were
Isaac W. Armstrong, First Lieutenant; Richard DeKalb Armstrong; Thomas J.
Turner; and Robert G. Richey (sic).
Tommy Ritchie next enlisted as a private on 1 November 1862 at Evening
Shade, Arkansas in Co. D of the 8th Arkansas Cavalry (listed as "W.T.
Richey"). At the time of enlistment his age was 37 and states he had
been born in Virginia. He was detailed as butcher in this company on 1
Jul 1863. He was paroled 5 Jun 1865 at Jacksonport, Arkansas. Also in
the 8th Arkansas Cavalry were David Mastin Armstrong (future son-in-law);
John G. Gibbins (future son-in-law to his brother Isaac Ritchie); David's
father Richard Dickson and brother Isaac Huntley Armstrong; and Thomas
Joseph Turner (future father-in-law to Tommy's future granddaughter Sarah
Lee Armstrong).
William Thomas "Tommy" Ritchie is my great-great-grandfather. He moved to
Stoneburg in Montague County, Texas as part of a wave of Sharp County
immigrants during the 1870s and 1880s to Texas, including the Ritchies,
Turners, Sandefers, Levertons, Armstrongs, and Padens (who all were or
became interrelated by marriage). The Padens went to Denton ca. 1870,
which is about an hour's modern-day drive from Stoneburg. The Ritchies
went first to Grapevine, in Tarrant County, Texas, also about an hour's
drive from Stoneburg. They were part of a wagon train, and included in
that number was David Mastin Armstrong, a heartbroken young man who was
recently released from having been a Confederate soldier captive in a
Union prison. His father (Richard Dickson Armstrong from Sharp Co.) died
in that Union army prison right at the end of the war. David left his
family behind to go for cheap land and, more importantly, removal from
all signs of the war in what was then the frontier of Texas. On the long
ride from Sharp County to Texas, David struck up a relationship with
Tommy Ritchie's young teenage daughter, Margaret, that led quickly to
marriage in 1874. They both often told the story of how they fell in love
during this wagon train journey.
Margaret Ritchie is an iconic figure in our family. Despite being a shade
under 5' tall, with kind blue eyes, she was made of steel and is likely
the reason me and my generation are here today. The Ritchies and
Armstrongs stayed in Tarrant County only a few years. They heard of free
land, lots of it, available to settlers in the Crosstimbers region of
Texas, which was then and still is wonderful cattle and farming land
(blackland prairie). Texas had been depopulated during the Civil War,
particularly in the counties that were the border between older white
settlements and the regions claimed for millenia by Comanche, Kiowa and
Apache. Montague County (Stoneburg) was such a border zone, and had lost
much of its white settlement during the Civil War because there was no
around to prevent Comanche raids. Texas was offering free or extremely
cheap land in Montague County, the proceeds of which would go to fund
schools in Limestone County, Texas -- hence, it was known at Limestone
County School Land. Tommy Ritchie and David Armstrong moved their
families to homesteads just east of Stoneburg, David by 1880, Tommy a few
years later. David, having virtually nothing in the way of start-up
money, built a "soddie" or sod house in the side of a small hill for
himself, Margaret, and their young daughter Sarah Lee. Tommy and Joanah
Ritchie were able to afford a house. But they all did well economically,
surviving the difficulties of new settlement. David was able to buy a
stud horse and earn extra income from this endeavor. They all farmed
cotton, in addition to raising most of their own food and farm stock.
Stoneburg grew enormously between 1880 and 1915, and reached the height
of its population during this time. This is when the Turners, Levertons,
and Sandefers joined their Sharp County friends and relatives in the area.
David and Margaret Armstrong donated a hilltop section of their land for
the only cemetery in particular area, known as Oak Hill. This is my
family cemetery and is still in active use for the residents of Stoneburg
-- it is where I've asked to be buried when I die. David and Margaret
used this cemetery right away to bury a pair of male twins who died right
after birth and were never named. Their small, blank double headstone is
something I remember vividly as a child. David and Margaret had no more
children. Tragically, David became one of the next burials in Oak Hill.
He had contracted tuberculosis from nursing his father in the Union
prison camp. No doubt the rigors of breaking new land and living in a sod
house did nothing to hold this terrible disease at bay. The family had
moved into a cabin before his death in March of 1894. A few months after
his death, his daughter Sarah Lee married Samuel Mordecai Turner, and
they moved into the cabin with widowed Margaret, building a second room
across an outdoor breezeway to create a dog-run cabin. This cabin, and
the soddie, are no longer standing, but when I was a teenager in
Stoneburg I often hiked across the fields to the old homestead, where
there was a hollow still marking where the sod house had stood.
As Sam and Sarah Lee Turner started their family, Margaret remained with
them for a while. Eventually she remarried to an elderly widower named
William Hardin Dowdy. The terms of this marriage were very clear: Captain
Dowdy, as he was known, would have his house kept, his meals prepared,
and his old age years tended to by Margaret, and she in turn would have
the security of marriage. They were affectionate, but this was an
economic pairing, not one based on passion. (The love of Margaret's life
had been David Armstrong.) At least in the presence of others, Margaret
referred to her second husband exclusively as "Mr. Dowdy". They had a
peaceful, contented domestic existence. His grown children, who were
close to Margaret in age, were grateful for her presence and remained
close to her the rest of her lilfe. They moved into Stoneburg proper and
bought a mail order house from Sears Roebuck, which was shipped in pieces
by the railroad and assembled by local carpenters. This house held a
pride of place in Stoneburg, with its elaborate gingerbread and wide
front porch framed by lilac bushes. The land on which it stood remained
in the family until just a few years ago. I lived there as a teenager.
But in 1902, tragedy returned. Sarah Lee came down with the same
tuberculosis that had killed her father and grandfather. As she began her
decline, in February 1902 their seven-year-old son Roy V. Turner died, of
causes not currently known. In March, Sarah Lee died. Sam was devastated,
and never quite recovered. He died in July 1903. All three of them are
buried next to David Armstrong and the twins in Oak Hill. The two Turner
girls, Hettie and Effie Lee, went to live in Stoneburg with their
grandmother Margaret and stepgrandfather William Dowdy.
Here's a correcting note: Although Margaret Ritchie accumulated many
names in her lifetime, dying as Margaret Semmerine Ritchie Armstrong
Dowdy, she NEVER was known as Susan. I've seen this name attributed to
her in genealogical records done by others, and she would frankly be
horrified at the idea of being called Susan. Please correct this in any
records; I don't know where it came from, but not from anyone who knew
her. By people who were very close to her, she was sometimes called Sem,
short for her middle name of Semmerine, which is in fact a corrupted
spelling of Cimarron. But no Susan. While I'm correcting names, Joanah
Carter Ritchie's middle initial was G., not C. We think, but cannot yet
document, that this stood for Green, a family name. Her father was
Littleberry (all one word) Carter, and this is why she named her youngest
son Berry. Joanah usually spelled her name with an H at the end, instead
of Joanna. Her only sibling, Elizabeth Zilpha Carter, married Alexander
Wiles and thus Joanah was related to the Wiles of Sharp County. Their
mother was Nancy/Agnes Moore (Nancy is a common Scots nickname for Agnes,
and both names appear in various records), daughter of George Moore and
Elizabeth Moody of Mecklenburg County, Virginia. Littleberry Carter was
also born in Mecklenburg County, VA to Charles T. Carter, a Revolutionary
War veteran, but by 1822 had moved his young family to Maury Co., TN,
which is where the Carter-Ritchie connection first began.
Tommy and Joanah Ritchie remained in Stoneburg, although their daughter
Everlina Alice and her husband Robert Paden moved from Denton, Texas out
to California ca. 1890, settling in Sanger, Fresno County, where some of
their descendants remain. The youngest Ritchie, Berry, married Rokey
(pronounced Rocky -- on her birth record it is Roxie Ann, but it was
never pronounced Roxie) West and began having an extremely large family.
It was an open secret in Montague County while I lived there that Berry
Ritchie was something of a ladies' man and had several children besides
those he fathered with long-suffering Aunt Rokey. The Berry Ritchies
moved a few mile northeast, to the Belcherville, Texas area. Several of
their descendants live in Nocona, Texas. Tommy and Joanah Ritchie's
second daughter, Sarah "Sallie" Minerva, married George Porter Chilton
and lived in Bowie, Texas, ten miles away from Stoneburg.
When Joanah Ritchie died in December 1904, Tommy's children vied for the
honor of having him come to live with each of them. He was a beloved man,
merry, easygoing, hard-working, a good storyteller. He and Joanah had
been very close, and his heart was broken when he lost her. Eventually,
he opted to move out to California to live with the Padens. He died there
less than a year after Joanah's death and is buried in the Sanger
Cemetery.
Margaret Ritchie Armstrong Dowdy stayed on in Stoneburg, raising her
granddaughters as if they were her own daughters. (They grew up calling
her "Mama".) When Captain Dowdy died in 1916, she struggled on without
his income. She sent her girls to school a year before it was fashionable
for girls to attend school in Stoneburg, making sure they both got
excellent educations. Hettie Turner went on to Texas Normal School (as it
was known then -- now it is North Texas University, my alma mater) and
got her certification as a teacher. Lee Turner obtained her Master's from
Hardin-Simmons, taught English at the Unviersity of Texas and also in
Bryan, Texas, where her husband was a prominent early professor of
history at Texas A&M. It is through Lee Turner Duncan, who got it
firsthand from Margaret Ritchie and the journals of David Armstrong, that
we have our rich and well-documented family history.
Hettie Alberta Turner married William Rusk Atkins, a Stoneburg man who
also came from a family of readers and strong wills. They had three
children, one of them my mother Mary Jo, before Hettie died from
tuberculosis, the family scourge. (Lee Turner also had TB as a child but
recovered.) When Hettie became ill, she and Bill moved their family in
with Margaret Ritchie Armstrong Dowdy, who nursed Hettie in her last
days. Hettie died in 1928 and is buried at Oak Hill. Bill and the two
oldest children remained with Margaret, who was now raising her THIRD
generation of descendants, who called her Granny. Mary Jo, an infant, was
given to her aunt and uncle Zura and Auther Atkins to be nursed, and
remained living with them all her life. Bill Atkins became progressively
ill from having been mustard-gassed in World War I, and eventually had to
go to the V.A. Hospital in Muskogee, Oklahoma, where he died in 1933.
By this time, Margaret Ritchie Armstrong Dowdy, or "Granny Dowdy" as she
had become known in the community, was 75 years old. With tremendous
reluctance, she admitted she was no longer up to raising the two Atkins
children, Sarah Margaret and William Rusk II, on her own. Lee Turner
Duncan, who had two children of her own, immediately offered to take
them, along with Mary Jo. But the weather was ferociously bad that year,
and every time she and her husband John Thomas Duncan made arrangements
to drive up to North Texas to bring the children back home, literally
bridges and roads were washed out. In the kind of weird twist of fate
that seems too outlandlish to be true, by the time the roads were
passable, the Atkins children had been claimed by their Atkins aunts and
uncles, separated into three families. Despite a custody effort by Lee
Duncan, the children remained split up. Mary Jo Atkins landed in a good
home. Sarah and Bill Atkins were not so lucky in where they were adopted.
Until her death in 2001, Lee Duncan never stopped regretting having lost
the chance to raise the Atkins children and sidestep the hardship the
elder two endured in their new homes, orphaned during the Depression. Lee
functioned as a surrogate parent and grandparent to her nieces and nephew
and their children the rest of her long and successful life.
Granny Dowdy (Margaret Ritchie) sold the wonderful house in Stoneburg,
where the Atkins children had been born, to someone who moved it to
Bowie, Texas. She went to live with Lee Duncan and her family, who were
struggling to survive as teachers in Depression-era Texas. She died
peacefully while living with them in 1939, in Estelline, Hogg Co., TX.
Somehow they found the money to carry her back to Montague County, where
she is buried next to David and her mother Joanah in Oak Hill Cemetery.
I and my Aunt Sarah Margaret Atkins were named for Margaret Ritchie. She
was quiet, confident, generous, honest, and persevering. We grew up on
stories about her. The one I remember best concerns her great love of
cats. She had an assortment of barn cats living behind the Stoneburg
house. She wanted to keep a constant number in their population;
however, as cats will, they regularly produced litters of kittens.
Margaret had no means of having them spayed -- this was long such things
were available -- and she knew that allowing the kittens to survive would
mean only slow starvation for them, as there was not enough mice to feed
them all and she certainly could not afford to care for them. So, when
she noticed a female cat showing up for the evening bowl of milk she set
out with a suspiciously bulging middle, she kept careful watch of that
cat. When the new mother showed up suddenly thin and obviously nursing,
Margaret fed her along with the rest and then followed her back to
wherever the litter had been hidden. The mother trusted her, as all cats
trusted Margaret. She would admire the kittens and praise them
extravagantly to the proud new mother. Slowly she gathered all the
kittens into her apron, then, just as slowly, made her way out of the
barn, shutting the mother cat in at the last minute. She walked around
the corner of the barn and one by one, pulled the tiny kittens out of her
apron and knocked their heads sharply against the corner of the barn,
killing them instantly. Then she buried them where the mother would not
smell them. In this way, she kept her cat population healthy but not
growing. The point of this story, however, was that during the entire
process of this nasty but necessary chore, Margaret would be weeping
uncontrollably, absolutely anguished over having to kill these beloved
kittens. It was considered extremely odd by her farmer neighbors, for
someone to cry over the death of an animal. But Margaret never hardened
to it, and she never hid her grief.
I find the group migration of so many families from one county in
Arkansas to Montague County a fascinating question. I think the main
answer lies with the Civil War. Texas, while part of the South and a
prominent player in the war, managed to keep the war outside its own
borders and thus was "untainted" soil. It was also considered to be
freer than other parts of the South from the economic devastation of the
war and of Reconstruction. For this reason, it was a popular destination
for families who had suffered through the war in other parts of the
South. A second reason for this particular cluster is that most of the
men in these families -- the Armstrongs, Tommy Ritchie and his brother
Robert Gilliam Ritchie, the Levertons, Thomas Joseph Turner, and some of
the Sandefers -- not only all served in the CSA from Sharp County, but
actually enlisted together at the same time in the same company. I
believe this forged lifelong bonds among them, that encouraged migrating
to the same place.
As I have it, the migrations of the Ritchie/Carter connections are:

Dies in Path of Fast Train

Goshen Resident Killed on Way Home
The Tribune Special Service
GOSHEN, Ind - Albert Van Tine 71, of 1300 E. Monroe St., was killed instantly at 6:42 p.m. Friday when he was struck by a crack eastbound New York Central System passenger train in Goshen.
Van Tine's body was hurled about 50 feet by the impact and landed on East Monroe St.
Goshen police said Van Tine apparently stepped onto the tracks as he was walking home. The accident occurred near the Penn Electric Switch station crossing, police said.
Stops in Half Mile (NOTE: This line was centered in article)
H.C. Ernst, Elkhart, engineer at the <unreadable> said all lights and horns were in operating order on the Diesel. The train was brought to a stop about a half mile from the accident scene.
Police theorized that Van Tine did not hear the approaching Diesel. A blood sample was taken from his body to determine if he was intoxicated.
Van Tine died of multiple fractures. His body was identified by his son, Edward Van Tine, of 17 Brady St., Elkhart.
Mr. Van Tine, who resided alone, was born March 7, 1885. Surviving are five children, Mrs. H.B. Swope of South Bend, Mrs. Robert Melton of Long Beach, Calif., and Edwin and Mallard Van Tine and Richard Hoffman, all of Elkhart, 15 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. A brother, Alfred, died July 19.
Friends may call Sunday in the Westbrook Funeral Home in Elkhart, where services will be held at 2 p.m. Monday. Rev. Foster B. Statler of the Elkhart Church of the Brethren, officiating. Burial will be in Violett Cemetery in Goshen.

Pedestrian Is Killed At NYC Crossing Here
The Goshen News, Goshen, Indiana, 4 August 1956
Albert Vantine Walks Into Path of 20th Century
Albert M. Vantine, 71, 1309 East Monroe Street, was instantly killed at 6:41 P.M. Friday when he walked into the path of the New York Central's Twentieth Century Limited at the Penn Controls crossing on the Fairgrounds Road.
The Toledo-bound passenger train's engineer, H.C. Ernst, 3005 Greenleaf Boulevard, Elkhart, told Goshen police he saw Vantine walk into the path of the locomotive "without even looking up," apparently paying no attention to the train's whistle and the flasher lights at the crossing.
Witnesses included Emma Parsley, 1311 East Monroe Street, and Mary Clouse, 1402 East Monroe Street, both of whom live near the crossing.
Neighbors reported that Vantine left his home, located just east of the crossing, earlier in the afternoon and at that time he appeared to be unsteady on his feet. He was returning to his home, where he lived alone, when the tragedy occurred.
The fatality was the second traffic death of 1956 for the city of Goshen and the 22nd traffic death of the year in Elkhart County.
Body Identified (NOTE: This line was centered in article)
Vantine's body was thrown onto the pavement in the westbound lane of traffic, 50 feet east of the crossing. Identification was made through his social security card found in his billfold, which contained $140 in cash. The body was removed to the Culp Funeral Home but later last night was taken to the Westbrook Funeral Home, Elkhart.
Mr. Vantine was born March 7, 1885, a son of Edwin and Dilla Fairchild Vantine. He was a retired laborer.
Surviving are three sons, Edwin and Mallard Vantine and Richard Hoffman, all of Elkhart; two daughter, Mrs. H.B. (Velma) Swope, South Bend, and Mrs. Robert (Irene) Melton, Long Beach, Calif.; 15 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon at the Westbrook Funeral Home. The casket will not be opened.

Hi Carol,
I had my grandfather's initial as H then I later I was told it was W. So far I haven't been able to find anything with his middle name. I will probably have to write to the Court House in Chadron, Nebraska for land records but he lost his place in Crawford during the Depression years and moved to Indiana.
I thought maybe his middle name was Hezekiah after his grandfather but since Uncle Max's middle name was William I really don't know. His death certificate from Indiana just has Frank Vantine and no initial. There is a mistake on his death certificate as they have his father as Frank and his name was Abraham.
If I can get a middle name I will let you know.
Gertrude, Violet, John, Ralph, and Lucille spouses are all deceased. Max's first wife is also dead but I am not sure about wife number 2 but wife number 3 is still alive. I don't have a birth certificate for Frank either but he was born in Nebraska City, Nebraska according to his death certificate. As I have been told when
he and my grandmother married they left by covered wagon for Arapahoe, Gosper County, Nebraska and lived there for 17 or 19 years before going to Crawford, Dawes County, Nebraska.
I hope this will help you some for the time being.

I'll send you an E-Mail and if you don't get it, send me an e-mail and I will send it again. My address is
Woodie's first wife's name was Dorothy, but that was all I was able to find out right now. From what my dad told me YEARS ago... Sherry, Sallie and Scott were born to Woodie and Mary, Reaggie was Mary's and Nacy was Woodie and Dorothy's. But I don't know any last names of Dorothy or Nancy.
Ralph was married at one point to Nell Waldron but that's all I have on them.
I do have Wilmer's obituary from the paper. He apparantly had moved to Mountain Home and died down there. From what mom always told me, he wasn't there for long and I wonder if he was "visiting" down there more than he had moved.
Anyway, I'll send a more detailed E-Mail so if you don't get the e-mail, let me know.
