William Henry Stockman and Henry C Stockman

            These two Stockman boys first appear in Wilcox County, Alabama in the 1830's. Researchers have tried for many years to determine how Henry C Stockman fits into the family, generally without much success. At last, with a good understanding of The Stockman families that were in early Alabama it has become possible to make some intelligent guesses with some documentation to back them up.

            William Stockman has been known for many years to be the son of John George Stockman and Rebecca Hair. A few years ago it was discovered that Rebecca Hair was in reality Rebecca Pow when the probate of the estate of her brother was found. These records from both Perry County, Alabama and Edgefield County, SC have been reported in The Stockman Family Newsletter.. This probate was in Edgefield County, SC. Questions were raised about who William Stockman’s mother could be when the ages of William and Rebecca were compared. She seemed to be too young to be his mother.

            Family information says that William Stockman was born 3 Nov 1806 and died 30 April 1897. This is confirmed by the headstone in Friendship Cemetery, Marengo County, Alabama where William is buried. Rebecca is enumerated in the 1850 census of Perry County, AL with John George Stockman and her age is recorded as 56 yrs, meaning that she was born in 1794. Since William was born only 12 years after Rebecca it seems quite unlikely that he is her son.

            The 1850 census of John George and Rebecca Stockman reads as follows:

            This census tells us when John George Stockman and his family moved from SC to Alabama; sometime between 1830 when Catherine was born and 1833 when Frederick was born.

            In 1850 William Stockman was recorded in Wilcox County, AL.

            Let us pause in our discussion of William Stockman and examine Henry C Stockman. No records have been found that identify the parents of Henry C Stockman. His middle name is reported to be Cooper. In 1840 Henry C Stockman is enumerated in Wilcox County, AL on the same page with William Stockman. Sometime between 1840 and 1850, Henry C Stockman moved to Arkansas where he was enumerated in 1850. His age in that census is recorded as 47 yrs old, so he was born circa 1803.

            Henry C Stockman arrived in Wilcox County, Alabama sometime before he bought land there on 2 Aug 1837. Note that the General Land Office record of his purchase has been indexed under the name of Henry G Stockman. Review of the actual document shows this record is for Henry C Stockman.

Engaged in Agriculture

Engaged in Agriculture.

            Henry C Stockman left Alabama and moved to Ouachita County, Arkansas in the mid 1840's. He purchased land in Ouachita County 1 Nov 1848.

            Henry C Stockman married Emeline Armstrong in Wilcox County, AL. Since he and William Stockman are living very near one another in 1840, some relationship is assumed, and indeed probable.

            Now let us go back to Edgefield County, SC where we find records of George Stockman, known to be the father of William. He was enumerated in 1830 as follows:

            In Edgefield County, South Carolina in 1829, George Stockman began selling his land and his last transaction was recorded in 1830. His land transactions were:

George Stockman to Abraham Chapman in 1829 1830 Page 19, Book 44

George Stockman to William Chapman in 1829 1830 Page 228, Book 44

George Stockman to Abraham Chapman in 1829 1830 Page 229, Book 44

George Stockman to Samuel Oswold 1829 1830, Page 307 Book 44

            In some of these deeds William Stockman is listed as a witness: These records also indicate that John George Stockman moved to Alabama. Henry C Stockman has left no known records in Edgefield County.

            Now let us go back another ten years to 1820 where we find George Stockman in Newberry County, SC.

Three persons engaged in Agriculture.

            This is that census that we have discussed before where some youthful males were actually recorded twice in the same census. This census tells us that there was a young male between 16 and 18 yrs of age, or born between 1802 and 1804. It also tells us that there were two sons age 16 to 26 or born between 1794 and1804, but one of these is the fellow born between 1802 and 1804, so we know the other was born between 1794 and to1802. The son recorded as age 10-16 was born between 1804 and 1810. The age of Henry C Stockman fits the son born between 1802 and 1804 and William Stockman fits the son born 1804-1810. Who the other children are we will leave for a later analysis. But now let us go back to that 1820 census and look at John George Stockman and his wife. John George was born sometime between 1775 and 1795, this fits with his age of 67 in the 1850 census - born in 1783. The wife was also born between 1775 and 1795, and Rebecca could fit into this classification according to the 1850 census were her age is recorded as 56, or born in 1794.

            For many years it was not possible to resolve these records with what was believed to be the relationships of the Stockmans who moved to Alabama from South Carolina. The confusion is understandable when we remember that there were two John George Stockmans in Perry County, SC in 1850, they were first cousins and that another Stockman family, a brother of one of these John George’s, namely John Adam Stockman had moved from Tennessee where he had settled for a while. He took up residence in Perry County, but before he could be enumerated in the census John Adam Stockman died. His wife referred to as “M” Stockman and “Margarete” Stockman was enumerated in the censuses in Perry County. John Adam and one of the John Georges were the sons of Barbara Stockman of the 1790 census of Newberry County, SC and their father was probably John George Stockman a son of Johann Engel Stockman the immigrant. For a while it was believed that this other John George was the son of Peter Stockman of SC, but then we learned from land transactions that the John George Stockman who was married to a Rebecca, was son of Peter Stockman of Newberry County, SC. Land records tell us that land transferred to John George Stockman the son of Peter Stockman by Peter, just before his death, was later sold and that the wife of John George Stockman at the time of that sale was Rebecca. (The other John George Stockman in Perry Country was married to Mary LNU. This Mary died just before the 1850 census and was enumerated in the Death Index for that year. This was discussed in previous articles in the Newsletter. Court records concerning the probate of an estate in the Dickert Family, tells us that the John George Stockman who was son of Peter Stockman married Hannah Dickert and moved to Alabama. This probate record has also been reported in past issues of the Newsletter.

            With this information, and considering our discussion here the following conclusions seem evident: John George Stockman, son of Peter Stockman of South Carolina, married Hannah Dickert and they had several children before her death. They lived first in Newberry County, SC and then either before or after the death of Hannah Dickert, John George moved to Edgefield County, SC. Following the death of Hannah, John George married Rebecca Pow and then in 1829 and 30 sold his holdings in Edgefield County and moved to Alabama.

            William Stockman left Edgefield County at abut the same time as his father, and he and Henry C Stockman arrived in Wilcox County at about the same time and settled near each other. William is known as a son of John George, but appears too old to be the son of Rebecca, therefore his is the son of John George Stockman and Hannah Dickert. Henry C Stockman is also probably their son, and they probably had another son, whom we do not have any records of other than his enumeration in the 1820 census.

            While we have no proof of the relationship of Henry Cooper Stockman as outlined above, evaluation of the known Stockman families in South Carolina and Alabama logically lead to the conclusions reported above. The Stockman Family Newsletter will be pleased to report any evidence that contradicts these conclusions. Please contact your humble editor.-//-

Little Tomie Stockman and his family

            Note that this article is named for little Tomie Stockman as it was a search for him that lead to all the additional information on this family.

            Until recently little Tomie Stockman and his siblings, children of John Stockman and Sallie Harrington were known from only one record. In the 1880 census of their father, John Stockman (Henry Joseph Stockman, Henry Stockman, Frederick Stockman and Katherine Disponet of the Texas branch of the family) then living in Dallas, TX. The father, John Stockman, is well known to readers of The Stockman Family Newsletter as the little boy who was involved in an Indian ambush in which his friend was killed and he barely managed to escape. (This story is reprinted at the end of this article). The 1880 census was the last record we had of the father until very recently.

In 1891 and 1892 City Directories of Dallas, John H Stockman, the father is proprietor of a hotel located at the Northwest Corner of Ewing Ave and 13^th Street, Oak Cliff, TX. His residence is listed at this same location.

            In 1910 John Stockman and his wife Sarah are living in Spokane, Washington.

            This census also tells us that Sarah has been mother to eight children, all eight are living. John and Sarah have been married 36 years and this was the only marriage for either of them. While we might be surprised to discover John in Spokane in 1910, there is no doubt that this is the John Stockman who we last saw in Dallas. His mother, Elizabeth Jordan Greewood, was born in IL. And the Place of Birth of the parents of Sarah match those of Sallie in the 1880 census so Sarah and Sallie are the same person.

            Can we identify the eight children of John Stockman and Sallie Harrington?

            Some of them can be identified in the 1910 census, now that we know to look outside Texas for them. A search for Stockmans born in Texas but living elsewhere, was done for the 1910 census.

            Seeking Tom Stockman in 1910, we find him living in San Jose, CA.

            This census also tells us that Thomas and Emma have been married one year and that John J is their only child.

            We also find in the 1910 census a John D Stockman living in Missoula, MT.

            This census record identifies two of the children of John Stockman and Sally Harrington. First we see the daughter, Lake, from the 1880 census had been married twice, Henry Klucken only once and they had been married for ten years. Lake was first married to a FNU O’Hare and they lived in Arkansas for a while as that is where their daughter whose name is not possible to determine in the census image on line, was born. John D Stockman is Lake’s younger brother.

            Let us now look at the 1920 census and see what we can find. In Rainier, Thurston County, Washington we find:

Additional information in this census tells us that Tom’s mother and father were also born in TX and that the nephew, Henry Schifano’s mother was born in TX. A search for Henry’s parents has not been successful in the 1920 census but his mother must be one of the daughters of John Stockman and Sally Harrington. A search of the 1910 census for Schifano did not find anyone by that name in the United States.

            In 1920 Young John D Stockman who was living with his sister in Missoula in 1910 have moved to Portland, OR and was married and was renting his home.

            There is no record of John H Stockman, of or Sarah or Sallie the mother and father, in the 1920 census. Perhaps we should assume they died during that ten year period. We also have not been able to located Henry E Klucken or his wife Lake in the 1920 census.

            Now let us look at the 1930 census. Tom or Thomas Stockman the son is not listed in any indices, but his wife Emma is found: 

            Emma is living alone but the census tells us that she is married, not widowed and that she owns the farm.

            The Son John D Stockman is still living in Portland, OR.

            John D Stockman is enumerated as a non veteran and is still renting his home.

            Another and final, mention of a Tom Stockman is found in the Tri-City Herald, Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, Washington newspaper for Sunday, September 27, 1964.

RLOC Chorus Auditions Close

          Ken Hughes, Richland Light Opera’s musical director for Lerner and Lowe’s ‘My Fair Lady’ has announced the close of auditions and is in rehearsal with the following chorus: (Among those listed is a Tom Stockman)

            Can this be the same Tom Stockman who started out as little Tomie Stockman in the 1880 census. Richland is located about 1/3 of the way across the state of Washington from where Tom Stockman was last known to be living and in 1964 he would have been 85 years old.-//-

John Stockman Survives Indian Raid

            Before and during the Civil War the frontier in Texas had reached the middle of the state. Those living in outlining areas north and west of San Antonio were faced with the trials of Indian raids. Young John Stockman was involved in an Indian raid that was documented in Indian Wars and Pioneers of Texas by John Henry Brown, L E Daniell Publisher, Austin.

In 1861 Thomas Dawson, a single man, lived about nine miles westerly from Lampasas, and two miles east of the road from Burnet to San Saba. With him lived a fatherless boy of thirteen, John H Stockman, whose aunt, Miss Greenwood, subsequently became the wife of Dawson. On the 10th of April, 1861 James the thirteen year old son of John N Gracey, then and still (in 1887) of Lampasas, went to Dawson's in search of horses, and remained all night.

          On the morning of the 11th these two boys, on foot, went out seeking the horses. When about two miles from the house and very near the Burnet and San Saba Road, while Stockman was trying to kill a turkey a short distance from Gracey, and in a body of post oaks, he heard a rumbling sound -- then shouts, and on looking, discovered fifteen Indians in charge of about a hundred stolen and frightened horses. Checking up the herd, three of the savages seized little Gracey, stripped off his clothing, scalped him as he stood upon the ground, then beckoned him to run, and as he did so, sent several arrows through his body, causing instant death. It was the work of but a moment, during which Stockman stood among the trees as if paralyzed, not doubting a similar fate; but just as the wretches were about to rush upon him, their attention was directed to another party a short distance below on the road. It consisted of George Baker, of Austin, on horseback, his wife and infant, and Mr Austin, his father-in-law, in a buggy. Most of the Indians were required to hold their restless herd, but the remainder attacked the party. Mr Baker sought to defend his precious charge till they could reach some timber and brush perhaps two hundred yards away. He had both a gun and pistols. He was soon wounded, but killed the most daring of the assailants at an instant when Mrs. Baker was for a moment at their mercy. But they were so sanguine of killing the husband and holding the wife, that the whole party succeeded in reaching the desired haven and found partial protection. Mr. Austin was an old man somewhat palsied in the arms and could do nothing. Baker held them at bay, firing several shots and wounding a second Indian; but he was wounded several times and finally became unable to do more. Mrs. Baker drew the arrows from his body and stanched the wounds as best she could; but in the last dread alternative stood in his stead, wielding his weapons and holding the brutal creatures at a respectful distance. An arrow entered the baby's stomach through several folds of a Mexican blanket, but not far enough to endanger its life.

          In the meantime two other fortunate events transpired. The boy, Stockman, seized the occasion to escape. He found partial protection for a short distance along a ravine. Having on a very white shirt, easily seen at a considerable distance he cast it off. Having to cross a small prairie, he crawled perhaps half a mile, lacerating his flesh and limbs, and while so engaged, a part of the Indians, in preventing a stampede of the horses rode almost upon, without seeing him, in the high grass. Through brush and briars he ran rapidly, by circuitous routes, six or eight miles, to reach the house of Thomas Espy, two miles east of Dawson's place. He was severely torn and bruised, but not otherwise injured, though frantic over the horrors he had witnessed.

          The other incident was that as the occupants quit the buggy, the horse ran away, casting off one of the four wheels, and providentially leaving the road, he went full speed to Dawson's house, near which one or two of the Indians captured, unharnessed and hurried him back to their fellows. This was seen by Mr Dawson, who mounted his own horse and started in a run to give the alarm at Lampasas; but again providentially, within a mile he fell in with a hunting party from Lampasas, consisting of Dempsey Pace, John Greenwood, George Weldy, and Newton Knight, who, at half speed, followed the trail made by the buggy, and soon arrived on the scene, to find the enemy still endeavoring to accomplish their object, without losing any more of their own number. The savages challenged them to combat at some distance on the prairie; but their purpose was to protect and save the apparently doomed family. They prepared, as best they could, for conveying them to the house of Mr. Espy, the nearest family in that region. The Indians soon retired with their booty, and the rescuers safely conducted their charges in, carrying Mr. Baker in a litter. He was gently nursed for six or eight weeks, and was then enabled to reach his home, where he in due time recovered, as proud of his heroic wife as he was thankful for their preservation through such apparently hopeless dangers.

          A party, accompanied by little Stockman, went out during the succeeding night to recover the body of little James Gracey, but were unable to find it. They camped at the spot indicated by Stockman, and when daylight came found it in their midst, and then realized the cause of their failure in the fact that the nude body, lying among the white rocks, was not distinguishable in the night time. The remains were conveyed to his stricken parents and family, and interred in the presence of a sympathizing concourse.

          Stockman now lives in San Antonio, but has been much about Dallas, and only a few days since recounted to me his version of this bloody episode in our border history. it will be of interest to many old residents of east and Southwest Texas to know that he is a grandson of Elder Garrison Greenwood, a sterling old Baptist preacher, who settled in Nacogdoches County in 1833, and moved west in 1846, finally to die in Lampasas County.

Boyd Stockman

            We’re in Red Rock, New Mexico some time in 1943 or 44. It is a Saturday and as usual the local cowboys and ranch hands have collected in the field just down river from the school house. Their own little rodeo is underway. Suddenly some one in the crowd of spectators stands us an yells, “Here come the Stockman boys!!”

            On to the field, riding at a full gallop come three cowboys, still at a gallop they dismount and high step down the field as their mounts gallop on. Bill, the eldest, Jim the middle and Boyd Stockman the youngest stop the show every weekend as they arrive.

            Sixty or so years later, we do not know how well they did in the roping, bronc busting and bull riding events, but the three were danged good cowboys, working at what they knew best.

            There wasn’t much money to be made in cattle ranching on a small scale, and Boyd entered rodeos around the area in hopes of a better standard of living, one of these was in Tucson, Arizona, in 1946, while performing there he was contacted by an acquaintance who was working on a movie being filmed in Old Town Tucson. As Boyd told it, “They wanted someone to get bucked off a horse and were willing to pay $100! Why, I’d been doing that all week for free!!” This was his introduction as a stunt man in movies.

            Boyd worked in over 57 movies and numerous televison shows, almost always westerns. The exceptions are few but one is notable, Ben Hur, for which he did not received credit. Here listed in more or less, the most recent first, are the movies and television shows that we know Boyd performed in.
