Elizabeth Disponet, sister of Katherine Disponet who married Frederick Stockman, (the progenitors of the Texas branch of the family), was mentioned in her father’s will as Elizabeth Yaw. Until recently little had been discovered about Betsey’s family.

On 30 Jun 1806 Richard Yaw married Betsy Dispinette (sic) in St Martin Parish, Louisiana. This marriage record was recorded prior to the use of a Marriage Records book and is located in the miscellaneous files. In the 1810 census Richard Yaw was enumerated in Avoyelles Parish on page 113

Females	1	0	0	1	0	0

The three males aged 26-45, surely include Richard Yaw, but the other two have not been identified.

Near the end of the War of 1812, British forces were preparing to land at New Orleans. Richard Yaw served in the 17, 18, and 19^th Conscripted Regt of Louisiana Militia. These volunteers were from Avoyelles, Rapides, Natchitoches, Catahoula and Ouachita Parishes. Also serving in this same unit was George Stockman, son of Katherine Disponet and Frederick Stockman. Richard Yaw was killed or died during his service in the Louisiana Militia. It is interesting that George Stockman also lost his life while serving in this regiment.

In the 1820 census Elizabeth Yaw was enumerated in St Landry Parish, Louisiana page 109.

In this census of the United States males were enumerated in the category 16-18 yrs but females were not.

In the 1830 census, Elizabeth Yaw is still in St Landry Parish, Louisiana. She was enumerated on page 046.

The Two children that are known for Elizabeth and Richard Yaw were son, William Yaw and daughter Mary Yaw. No information has been developed on the other male and female enumerated in this census. It should be remembered that this is an enumeration of those in the household and there they were not necessarily children of Elizabeth Yaw

Although Mary Yaw was the younger of the two children about which we know something we will report on her first as less is know about her. Mary Yaw married William Bundick 11 Nov 1833. This marriage has been mis indexed as William Bundick and Mary Laws. Mary and William moved to Gonzales Co, TX after the census was taken in 1850.

William Yaw, son of Richard and Betsey, married Sarah Rosanna Henry 1 Nov 1834 in St Landry Parish. In this marriage record his name was spelled “Yaws”. She has been reported to have been the widow of John Akers and that she had two children by John Akers but her name in the marriage records of St Landry Parish is recorded as Sarah Rosanna Henry. She and William Yaw had no children so far as is known. She died by to 1837. William married for a second time to Elizabeth Reed on 17 Oct 1838 in St Landry Parish. In the 1840 census William Yaw is enumerated in St Landry Parish on Page 261.

William Yaw began spelling his name “Yaws”from this time onward. About 1850 William moved his family to Texas but no census record can be found for him in 1850 or 1860. In 1870 William Yaws was enumerated in Bastrop County, TX under the name of William “Jawls”

1. Richard Yaws, born ca 1839 in Louisiana, died 8 Dec 1862 in Texas while serving in the Confederate Armed forces.

In 1880 Christopher Columbus Yaws as enumerated with the Parmour family where he was living and working as a hired hand.

Eula Strange and Rosa Lee Osborn told the story of “Big Jess” Stockman who come to visit with the Granger family in Mt Calm when Eula and Rosa Lee were young ladies. A request for identification of “Big Jess” was published in Vol 2 #2 of The Stockman Family Newsletter and then after the death of Eula, Rosa Lee found a photo of “Big Jess” and it was published in Vol 14 #4 of the Newsletter. Several of the descendants of Young Leonard Stockman (William Henry Stockman, Hardy Francis Stockman, Henry Stockman, Frederick Stockman and Katherine Disponet of the Texas branch of the family), including L Dean Mooney and Flossie Buie, recognized “Big Jesse” Stockman. Dean said that the photo published in the Newsletter was identical to one that once hung at home. Jesse was a brother of Young Leonard Stockman.

Jesse Stockman was born ca 1879 the third child of William Henry Stockman and Margaret Katherine Williams. Jesse married Bessie Caldwell, but little more was know of him. Eula and Rosa Lee reported that they remembered “Big Jesse” living in Pennsylvania. Last year the US Census Bureau released the 1930 Census of the United States and has become available on line at Ancestry.com. Jesse Stockman has been located in this census.

This family was reconstructed from an every-name Index. The film of Armstrong County has not yet become available, but from this information we learn a little bit more about “Big Jess” Stockman. -lts-

In the last issue of The Stockman Family Newsletter in the article, “Texas Death Records Update” one of those listed was Cecilia August Stockman. Douglas Leroy Stockman, her son reports that the correct name for her mother is Cecil Augusta Stockman. She is the Cecil Stockman who is buried in the Mount Olive Cemetery in another article in the same issue of the Newsletter. Douglas continues, ”She was my mother and married to Mathew Stockman, also buried at Mount Olive Cemetery. Mathew Stockman was my father and son of Hiram J Stockman and Lucy Graves. Cecil Stockman was the daughter of Gus Whitley and Fannie Smith.”

There is some confusion about this family. Several researchers report the father is John W Stockman, but in 1870 and in 1880 census records his name is recorded as James W Stockman born in AL.

In 1870 James is recorded age 25 yrs or born in 1845, in 1880 he is recorded age 46 yrs or born in 1835. The former date of birth is more nearly correct when we compare the ages of other members of the family. In 1850 in the Household of William Stockman and Elizabeth Watson in Wilcox Co, AL is son James age 7 years.

This is the only James Stockman in any Alabama census that is near the age of James W in the later census records. The conclusion that can be drawn from this “best evidence available” is that James W Stockman who was born in Alabama and lived as an adult in KY is the same person as the lad, James who was the son on William Stockman and Elizabeth Watson.

In 1860 James is enumerated with his parents who had moved from Wilcox County to Marengo County, AL, and his age is recorded as 12 years.

William Stockman the father of this James is the son of John George Stockman and his first Wife, Hannah Dickert. John George was the son of Peter Stockman of the 1790 census of Newberry Co, SC, and the son of Johann Engel Stockmann the immigrant. Some confusion exists about this family. In old research done on John George Stockman he is reported to be the son of Barbara Stockman of the 1790 census of Newberry County, South Carolina, however, more recent research shows that John George is the son of Peter Stockman.

He married Hannah Dickert and had a son William and possibly a second son Henry Cooper who was in Wilcox County but had moved to Ouachita County, Arkansas prior to the 1850 census. Hannah apparently died and John George Stockman married for a second time to Rebecca Pow. Rebecca’s maiden name has often been reported as Rebecca Hair, but probate recorded for her brother prove her maiden name was Pow.

At the Stockman Family Reunion of July 2002, Sharon and John Stockman attended. Sharon commented that they had gotten acquainted with a Jackie Stockman and wondered if they were possibly related. Well, Johann Engel Stockman the immigrant had other sons and one of them was Frederick Stockman who had son Henry Stockman who had son Hardy Francis Stockman who had son John Freeman Stockman who was the grandfather of John Stockman who is married to Sharon.

When it was determined that Sharon and Jackie were indeed part of the same family they were both delighted.

In Volume 14 Number 4 of the Stockman Family Newsletter the Stockman family of Ross and Jackson Counties, Ohio was introduced. Additional information on this family and some succeeding generations is now available.

Charles Stockman has been identified as the son of William Stockman who was enumerated in Ross County in 1850. Charles married Hannah Springer 20 Aug 1837 in Jackson Co. was living in Ross County in 1850. Charles and Hannah was enumerated in the 1850 census or Ross County, Ohio.
