LAND: The Battle of Poison Springs, during the Civil War, was fought in the same area as John Jameson Samuel's farm. It was destroyed and the family was left destitute. Mama was very bitter over the south's defeat because her mother could remember her mother tell of actual happenings. I'll not write about this battle here as it can be read of in printed matter on the Civil War.
From World Family Tree CD Vol. 3, Record 2092: John Jameson Samuel came to Arkansas from Kentucky and had a farm near Poison Springs where the Civil War battle of the same name took place. During that time Union soldiers ransacked the Samuel home looking for food and hidden valuables. Furniture was slashed to pieces with swords and Samuel's front teeth were ground off by Union soldiers in an effort to extract information from him. Fortunately, Samuel's Masonic apron was found by the Union commandant, who was also a Mason, and the torture was stopped. It was said that daughter, Kate, danced for the Union soldiers in exchange for food and coffee.

OBITUARY: Excerpt from a newspaper article (probably the one at Hope, Ark); source: as above; copy of original is in possession of her great-granddaughter, Mrs. Willard Creason, Hot Springs, ARK.; "The Death Angel". Harriet B. Samuels, nee King, died at the home of her son, Mr. R.P. Samuels, on the 9th of November, 1899. The deceased was born Aug. 12, 1813, in the state of Kentucky, was married to John J. Samuels on the 18th day of Aug., 1831, and came to Arkansas in 1837. Her husband died the year 1866, at what was known as Poison Springs, near Camden, Ark. and in 1867 she came to Hempstead County and settled in the community od De Ann, Ark. For 32 years she has lived a neighbor to the writer of this sketch. Sister Samuel has out lived the three score and ten years, and lived quite a while on borrowed time. She was 86 years, 2 months, and 28 days old. She was the mother of 12 children, 6 boys, and 6 girls. Three boys, Henry E., now in Louisville, Ky., F.E. and R.P. of De Ann, and three girls, Mrs. Malviney Smith, wife of J.N. Smith of Hope, Mrs. Nelly Samuels wife of Mr. DeSota Samuels of Hot Springs, and Mrs. Kate Blackburn of Texarkana, survive her, on sister, widow of Dr. Richard P. Williams of Ft. Worth, Texas, besides a host of grandchildren, neighbors and friends who mourn the departure of another good woman. Sister Samuels was one of the number who organized the Missionary Baptist church at DeAnn, known as White Oak Grove, in 1868 or 9.
White Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church 1848-1968 By Rub y A. Samuel October 1968
Through genealogical research on family lineages it is an established fact that White Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church was in existence in the year of 1868. Newspaper accounts of birthday celebrations, obituaries and memorials of members substantiate this fact.
Such records have been preserved by the late Miss Sarena Clark, daughter of Squire (Billy) W.J. Clark who is said to have given the name De Ann to the community where the White Oak Grove Church was organized some hundred years ago.
It was though however, by one of the early members who is now deceased, that this church was organized in 1848, and that the first building of worship was a log cabin with split logs covering the dirt floor.
After several weeks of research and a thorough search of Hempstead County Court records, it was found that the deed for White Oak Grove Baptist Church was recorded September 27, 1872. The Church Trustees purchasing this property were Willis Ray and Woodson T. Harris and the land was bough from Mr. John C. Clark and wife, Elizabeth T., for the sum of one dollar. Stamps and seal were affixed to show that money was passed for the property. Evidently the deed has been lost and only the Court records remain as proof.
The cemetery land, which is also considered the White Oak Grove Baptist Church property, was purchased from William H. Carruth and wife, Mary A. Carruth in 1872, and the Trustees to whom this deed was made were Willis Ray and John C. Clark. This deed also has seal and stamps affixed but had not been recorded. After ninety-six years, the deed was recorded on September 4, 1968.
From the memory of an early member it was recalled that likely the first pastor, or among the first preachers to serve as pastor of this church was Elder England, and the following are thought to be some of the charter members:
John Clark and wife, Elizabeth T.
Willis Ray and wife
George B. Terry and wife, Elizabeth
Jasper Breed and wife
Will Clark and wife, Dee Anna
Woodson T. Harris and wife, and
Harriet Brazille King Samuel
According to the memory of the same member, the first deacons were Mr. Johnie Clark, Jasper Breed, Will Clark, Willis Ray and Woodson T. Harris.
A record dated 1875 states that White Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church is strictly Misssionary in Principle and Baptistic in Doctrine in keeping with the principle set forth by our Land in the New Testament when he established His Church.

REF: Early Days in Danville by Calvin Morgan Fackler; 1941. p. 212 - McDowell Park, The Old Graveyard, was originally the burying ground of the "Old First" Presbyterian church. In the northwest division Philip Yeiser, Sr. occupies a more lowly abode than the beautiful one he once builded himself. It is on a line between the Confederate and McDowell monuments, about half way. He was brought here after July, 3, 1833. If cholera carried him off, then it was a rather useless gesture on the part of death, for he was past seventy-eight.
Philip Sr. came to Danville in the 1790's. He was largely interested in tanning. The Yeiser home was the first attempt at a mansion in Danville.

6) Beverly G. Yeiser, Sr. Corresondence 17 Jan. 1998. Following article was included regarding the house that Philip Yeiser built. "The Philip Yeiser home was the first ambitious attempt at a mansion, here (Danville, KY. SJFG) This old place which, once in ever so often, someone calls "Christopher Greenup house," is that beautiful colonial at the head of Second Street. Mr. Philip Yeiser, Sr., who was largely interested in tanning, came to Danville in the 1790's. He bought a tract from John Crow in 1795. Unfortunately the sheet containing the body of the deed is missing from the records. As it doesn't seem to have been either cut or torn out, it was probably omitted when the sheets were rebound at some time. We have it properly indexed, and the acknowledgment shown on page 7, but nothing else. So not until John Yeiser, the son who inherited it, conveyed to Thomas Proctor, do we get the description, which shows that the tract ran from our present Third Street with the north side (as now) of Lexington Avenue. It formed an almost perfect parallelogram, excepting the nipped off southeast corner, at Nichols' ropewalk, and the elongated one upon the northeast. All Danville above Lexington Avenuie (which was not opened until long after) and east of Third once formed a part of the Yeiser farm.1840-1860 Construction Period
Some of our best residences were constructed between 1840 and 1860. Then the Philip Yeiser farm was divided among the heirs of Thomas Proctor who had obtained it from John Yeiser. Philip Yeiser, the master of beautiful Yeiser house, was certainly here in 1794, which year he bought his first real estate." (The above excerpt appears to be from a book.

At the end of the 5 years, "he shall have the privilege and right to remove the tobacco barn and stock barn" . Also, to be paid $500 for improvements to dairy barn & tenant house.

Will states that "in case of the death of Thomas and the marriage", or death of widow, before the 5 years are up, the children of the marriage shall be paid $700 per year of the remaining time (5 years) and rent out the farm or allow the children to live on the place for the remaining time and not pay the money.
Will states that after the 5 years are up, all lands owned by her, shall be divided into 4 equal shares, one for each of her children - however, son Chris had died and that 1/4 was to be placed in trust for his remaining children, John D & Affie.
