Spring Lake Plantation

By Irene Shields Moreland

The roads were winding, narrow, hot and dusty in summer, and muddy and cold in winter. They went by everyone's house, and each landowner worked the portion that belonged to him. The traveler could pinpoint the financial status of a planter by the way he kept his portion of the road. Often it ran across a creek and sometimes it ran down a creek-bed for quite a distance. In wet weather, the traveler was often stranded, having to wait for the water to go down before going in either direction. Visitors to the country plantations were few and far between, and even passing strangers were usually welcome. When relatives came, they brought all the children, usually ten or twelve and a week or two was the average stay. All in all, the roads were the only means of communication, and human nature was eager to hear what was going on outside the plantation.

Such was the case as late as 1915 at Spring take Plantation. When Claiborne Parish was opened to settlers, with land grants and cheap acreage, the great covered-wagon trains from Georgia and Alabama, coming from north in Arkansas, began to stop, and some of the people who were on their way to Texas, because of a severe seven years drought and epidemics of sickness, stopped to recuperate and settled here for good. It was one such rest-stop that began Spring Lake Plantation.

Between 1850 and 1852, Mr. Ambrose Augustus Phillips, formerly of Georgia and then of Alabama, brought his family to Claiborne Parish. This family group at that time included Phillips, who was 48 when he came to Louisiana, his wife Elizabeth Frances Grimmett Phillips, 45, their children, William, 18, Mary Amanda, 16, Susan, 15, Emily, 11, Hope, 9, Seaborn, 7, and Henry Addison 6 months. Along with the group was Mr. Phillips' twin brother, Henry R. Phillips, and three brothers of Mrs. Phillips, Thomas Grimmett, age 13, William Grimmett, age 11, and Henry Grimmett, age 9.

All these, along with 100 slaves and the livestock Mr. Phillips brought from Alabama, settled at Spring Lake, and by 1852 they were well on the way to building the big house and clearing the plantation. The house, planned by a Mr. Golden, consisted of eight large rooms and a central hall downstairs, repeated on the second floor, with a small balcony above the front door on the second floor. The third floor was never finished, but was sealed and floored and was livable. Quite often the boys in the family slept there. On the top was a widow's walk which commanded a view of the fields surrounding the house. The kitchen was at first separated from the main house, as was common in houses of that time to lessen the fire hazard but by 1888 it had been joined to the rest. There were porches on the front and back, and long windows with shutters. The house was of lumber cut and finished on the place; and the hand-fluted columns across the front were two stories high. The house was never completely finished, for the builder joined the Confederate Army and never came back.

The house was surrounded by large oak trees and faced the main road, which ran at the edge of the front yard. The present Spring Lake was not formed until the railroad was built and the road-bed formed a dam. The first lake was nearer the house and was not as large as the present lake, nor so deep.

1852 until the war in 1865, Mr. Phillips worked the plantation with his slaves. When the war was over, he found himself, as did so many others, financially and physically unable to run the place. In 1866 he was making plans to sell when his wife died on July 12. He placed her in a metal coffin, preserved the body in alcohol, and made plans to carry it back to Alabama; after some months, however, he sold the plantation to the Kerr family, buried his wife on the home grounds, and moved his family to New Orleans, then to New Iberia. He died in 1869 and is buried in New Iberia.

Mr. Phillips had employed a tutor for his family, but in 1867 the Kerr family established the first public school in the community and called it the Kerr School. Parents of the children contributed to the salary and took turns boarding the teacher. The children and teacher walked to school, and all grades were taught, from the first on up.

Mr. J. B. McFarland bought the plantation from the Kerr family in 1888, the year the railroad first made regular runs. At this time the Phillips and Kerr family cemetery was moved to the Old Homer Cemetery.

The McFarlands lived at Spring Lake from 1888 to 1912, and during these years, with the coming of the railroad, Spring Lake Camp Meeting was born. The train from both North and South made special trips in the late afternoon to bring crowds. There were also many families who came and camped the two or three weeks of the meeting, usually in August after the crops were laid by. The family cottages were lattice, usually with dirt and sawdust floors, and the whole family, young and old, came to the meeting. Provisions were brought, and the family cow and sometimes the calf came along, tied to the back of the wagon. Camp Meeting was a time of spirit renewal. The tabernacle had a mourner's bench, and testifying, shouting, and much rejoicing took place. It was also a time to relax and visit with neighbors and friends one seldom saw at any other time.

There were at least two services a day and often they lasted two or three hours. The floor was covered with sawdust, and the babies and small children slept on the outside edge on quilts. This was handy in case they cried or needed to be carried out. The lake was used for baptizing and bathing water, but the drinking water was brought out from town and sold by the glass or gallon. Camp meeting was a time when men and women experienced salvation, but it was also a time when many romances started, and occasionally a wedding took place.

In 1912, Mr. McFarland having died, the plantation was sold to the J. W. Allison famfly. Mr. and Mrs. Allison, their son Alec, Alec's son, a widowed daughter and her son and daughter, Rebecca, who later became an envoy to Italy, were in residence.

The Allisons sold stock in the plantation to the Great Northern Land Company and developed the place into more or less an experimental station. Many experimental plants and animals were tested. This included blooded horses, holstein and jersey cows, Mexican pigs, chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits, peacocks, pigeons, canaries, bermuda grass, all kinds of feed grains and vegetables. Mr. Atkins Bailey and Mr. M. P. Wyatt were the overseers. A Mr. Young was the dairy expert; Mr. Flanigan was in charge of the beef stock, and a Mr. Bolsy was the horticulturist. These last three were brought over from Germany and could hardly speak English.

The house was redecorated and running water was piped from the spring. A brick house was built over the spring and is the only building left on the place today. A large dairy was built, as well as many barns, tenant houses, and houses for the overseers. A large orchard was planted, and the pecan trees from this orchard remain. This was a time of great hospitality, when the young people from homer were invited out for parties and week-end visits.

Mr. Allison had business interests in Dallas, and while there in 1918, he was electrocuted. On December 6, 1918, the wife and heirs sold the plantation to Mr. J. R. Kennedy . The Kennedy family lived at Spring Lake until some time in the 1920's. The Camp Meeting tabernacle was floored and used for a dance pavillion. Several dry years made for financial loss, and much of the beautiful furniture was sold. About 1924 the house burned to the ground, and the Kennedy family moved into the dairy house until they sold the place to a Mr. Thrash and moved to California. Since then the Spring Lake Plantation has had a number of owners. At present it is owned by the Yandell Wideman estate and is a tree farm. All through the years there has been a legend of buried treasure on the home grounds, and quite often in the morning a large hole will be found which was not there the night before. I never heard of anything any one found, but once saw a hole large enough to put a car in. Of course the house was supposedly haunted from the time Mrs. Phillips was kept there before burial, and many shivery tales are told about those events.

Spring Lake was used by the L&NW Railroad for water for the engines, and they still own the lake itself. Where the big house stood, only pine trees, thick and shady, still stand, and only the tile spring-house remains of all the buildings that were on the place.

We think of those as the "good old days." Just for the moment, we should remember the Phillips family-husband, wife, brothers, children- and the problems they faced in getting to Claiborne and setting up here. Food, clothing, housing, medicine, and hundreds of other things were lacking when they came. How they brought homes and fields out of the forest and made this a good life is staggering. They have passed on, but we all owe them a debt of gratitude for their part in making Claiborne Parish the pleasant place it is today.

In June, 1850, the new jury organized, with James B. McFarland, of Ward 5, president; Thomas Henderson, of No. 1, Reuben Warren, of No. 2, Joslin Jones, of No. 3, Robert C. Adams, of No. 4, Tatum M. Wafer, of No. 6 and Silas Gamon, of No. 7 being the members. The president was empowered to make a deed of one acre to each incorporated religious society at Homer.

3110 History of Clan MacFarlane by Mrs C M Little shows John has children, John, Parlan, George, William & 3 daughters but doesn't name a wife.

1 - An IGI search of Stirlingshire births shows most likely mother to have been a Cathrine Mcfarlane. IGI shows she and John had sons John, Alexander, Peter, Parlan, Duncan, Walter, George & daughters Mary, Janet, Jean & Helen.

We have to assume transposition of Walter for William and early deaths of Alexander, Duncan, Peter and one of the daughters to end up with surviving children mentioned in Mrs Little's History.

This is made more interesting by IGI search of Buchanan parish marriages for John Mcfarlane and Cathrine Mcfarlane, to find there were three in the timeframe meaning these children could be spread amoung all three marriages.

Thomas J. McFarland

(Transcribed by Laura Paxton)

Thomas J. McFarland, farmer and stock-dealer, of Box Township, Cedar County Mo was born in Benton County Mo., in 1849 and is one of the wide-wake thorough-going citizens of that township. He is the son of James and Letitia (Nave) McFarland and is the grandson of Rev. Alexander McFarland, who was born in Kentucky but who came to BOONVILLE MISSOURI at a very early day and there remained for many years. He then moved to Cass County where he died before the war. He was a successful minister in the Presbyterian Church and followed this calling nearly all his life. He was of Scotch-Irish descent. The maternal grandfather, Hardin Nave, who died when Mrs. McFarland was quite young was an early settler of Missouri. James McFarland was born in COOPER COUNTY MO in 1822, and his wife was probably born in Tennessee, but came to MORGAN COUNTY MO., with her parents when quite young. The were married in Benton County in about 1848, lived there for some seven years, and then removed to Cass County, in 1863 to Henry County and in 1865 came to Cedar County where Mrs. McFarland died in 1876. Two years later Mr. McFarland followed her to the grave. Both were members of the Methodist Church for many years, and he was a farmer by occupation. Thomas J. McFarland, the eldest of four sons and four daughters, assisted his father in the arduous duties on the farm and received a limited education. At the age of fourteen years, Thomas J. McFarland was obliged to support the family, owing to the fact that his father was paralyzed, and he took care of the family until his majority. He removed with his parents to Cedar County and was married in 1874, to Miss Mollie Puret, a native of Knox County MO., and the daughter of John C and Elizabeth Pruet. Mr & Mrs McFarland are the parents of four children, three sons and one daughter. Mr. McFarland rented land for two years after which he purchased his present farm, which consists of 235 acres. He is one of the leading farmers in the county. He was elected sheriff of Cedar County Mo., in 1882 was re-elected in 1884, and served four years with credit and satisfaction. He is a Democrat in politics, voting for S J Tilden in 1876; is a member of the Masonic fraternity, Clintonville Lodge, No. 482, at El Dorado and of the Chapter of Stockton; has held all elective offices and is at present master. He is also a member of the Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias, and the Farmers' Alliance. He and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Mrs. McFarland;'s father was born in St. Louis County MO in 1831 was married there in 1851 and in 1852 removed to Knox County where he served in Company I, First Missouri Cavalry, Second Division, Confederate Army as a courier two years. In 1865 he came to Cedar County MO and is one of the prominent farmers of Box Township. He father, John Pruet, was also a native of St. Louis County, born in 1808 and died in Scotland County in 1874 or 1875, where he had lived since 1849. His father, Samuel Pruet, was a Frenchman, and one of the first settlers of St. Louis, where he died. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Mrs. McFarland's mother was born in England and came with her parents to St. Louis when about five years of age. Her parents, William and Joanna Atherly, were native of Devonshire, England. Mr. Atherly died in St. Louis in 1849 of cholera and Mrs. Atherly died in Cedar County in 1884.

3112 HISTORY: 1883 History of Fairfield and Perry Counties, Ohio, Fairfield
(SON DR. HERVEY SCOTT) FAIRFIELD COUNTY BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
PAGE 355
...SCOTT, DR. HERVEY, was born at Oldtown, Greene county, Ohio, January 30,
1809. Until the close of his seventeenth year he worked on the farm with his
father, enduring the hardships, privations and struggles of purely frontier
life. His early education, such as it was, was received in the little rough log
school-houses of the pioneer age, by the light of oiled paper windows. In
February, 1826, he went to live in the Mitton family, in South Charleston,
Clark county, Ohio, to go to school and learn the trade of manufacturing
spinning wheels. In 1833 he commenced the study of the medical profession, and
in 1836 went into the practice. Two years later he changed his profession to
that of dentistry, and in April, 1839, located in Lancaster, where he has
continued to reside to the present time. On the 7th of November, 1830, he was
first married to Lydia Ann Milton, of South Charleston, who died childless on
the 12th day of June, 1841. On the 10th day of April, 1842, he was a second
time married to Priscilla Ann Crook, of Lancaster, who was the mother of his
children. Her death occurred on the 14th day of July, 1873. In May, 1875, he
was married to his third wife, Sophia Stebbin, of Chicopee, Massachusetts, who
deceased October 10, 1852. His family consisted of six children, viz.: Hervey,
Mary Elizabeth, Sarah M., John Clark, Charles Robert, and William Derbin. Mary
Elizabeth and Charles Robert died respectively at the ages of two years and at
eight months. Hervey died at Chillicothe, November 29, 1873, at the age of
thirty years and seven months. He left a widow (Mrs. Emma Scott) and one son
(Hervey Howe), now residents of Lancaster. Sarah M. married Charles Hutchison,
and is at present residing in Toledo, Ohio. She is the mother of two children
---Mary Hamilton and Helen. Helen died at the age of a little over one month,
in December, 1881. J. Clark married Ida O'Harra, of Columbus, in 1874. They
have had three sons---George, Walter, and Starling. George died in September,
1882, at the age of over seven years. J. Clark resides in Lancaster, and is by
profession a dentist. The ancestors of Dr. Scott first came to America in the
early part of the eighteenth century. On the father's side they were Irish; on
the mother's Scotch. The Scotts settled first in North Carolina, and there his
father was born. The McFarlands, which was the name on the mother's side,
settled in Rockbridge county, Virginia, and there his mother was born. During
the troublous times of the Revolution between Whig and Tory, the grandfather,
being a Whig, sought safety by removing his family to Rockbridge county,
Virginia. Near the close of the century both families, with others, removed to
and settled in Kentucky, first at the Crab Orchard and afterwards on Indian
Creek, near Cynthiana, in Harrison county. The place on which the Scott family
settled, on Indian Creek, is known to this day as "Scott Station," on account
of a garrison of soldiers having been stationed there to protect the frontiers
during the Indian troubles. There the doctor's parents were married in 1800,
and in 1808 emigrated to Ohio and settled at Oldtown, near Xenia. The Scott
family consisted of eleven children, of whom the doctor is the fourth, viz.:
Rachel, Margaret, William, Hervey, Milton, Washington, Cynthia (the two latter
were twins), Clark, Emily, Benjamin, and Joseph. Washington, Clark, Emily, and
Benjamin, died in childhood; Joseph died at the age of eighteen years;
Margaret, the second in age, died at the age of about sixty years; and Rachel,
the first born, died in infancy; four are living ---William and Milton, in
Madison county, Ohio; Cynthia, in Thorntown, Ind.; and Hervey, in Lancaster.
The name of the grandfather Scott was Ahram, and that of grandfather McFarland
was William. All four of the grand parents died respectively between 1812 and
1820, at their homes on Indian Creek. Moses was father of the doctor and Lettie
his mother. The mother died in August, 1842, aged sixty-two years; the father
died in October, 1865, at the age of ninety-two years.

Virginia, and was known as Clover Lick Fort, an outpost used during the
Revolution against the Indians. This estate had been sold to his cousin, Major
Jacob Warwick, when he removed to Kentucky, and settled in Woodford County,
near Pisgah Church, where many of his descendants now reside. He came to
Kentucky with his brother-in-law, John Gay, in September 1783. In February
1784, moved out into what is Woodford county (Kentucky), and opened and
operated a sugar camp. In 1795 Col. Alexander Dunlap and Major Samuel
Stevenson expored southern Ohio for desirable lands. In 1804 he removed to
Brown County, Ohio, and also acquired land near Chillicothe, on the Sciota.
Col. Alexander Dunlap was an Indian fighter in the Greenbrier, and on the Weaw

3135 I also found a ship passenger list for the SS Furnessia that arrived in New York on 22 Oct 1892. One of the passengers was named Elsie McFarlane (aged 19), last resident in Callander. Another passenger was just named "Mrs Kidd" (aged 31) also last resident in Callander. Both stated that their intended destination was Fort Wayne, Indiana. Christina thus seems to have travelled back to Scotland for some reason, perhaps because her father had not long passed. How long her sister Elsie spent in the United States is unknown - I can find no trace of her until 17 Apr 1914, when she married David Alexander Buchanan in Stirling.

3137 I am a descendant of Alexander McFarlane born on 19th April 1841 Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland and over the last 20 years my 2nd cousin and I have been collecting information about this family.
Our great grandfather was a shipwright and boat builder and the old family business is still (for the time being) working at Port Adelaide and just recently there was a yacht for sale in Wellington, New Zealand that was built here by Alexander and some of his sons in 1897. The asking price was $800,000, must be absolutely gorgeous. I have just written an article about the William Fife designs that were built there in the 1890's and the Sayonara was one of his designs..
He married a Port Adelaide girl Mary Ann Tyzack in the 1860's and they had 15 children only 9 survived to adulthood one being my grand father Samuel Tyzack McFarlane.
There are about 200 descendants from this union.

3138 I am including Nancy as a child of Jacob and Mary because she is buried in the family graveyard. McFarland, Nancy Ellen (I9064)
 
3139 I am including this infant as a son of Jacob and Mary because he is buried in the family cemetery. McFarland, Josiah Berton (I8959)
 
3140 I am researching the ancestors of a Margaret McFarland who married William Wiggins 6/3/1813 in Clermont Co. Ohio. Records indicate her parents were most likely a Thomas McFarland (b. 1752 in VA d. 1817 Miami, OH) who married a Mary Stump 6/16/177 4 in Frederick Co. VA. Thomas's father was most likey a William McFarland (unknown spouse) B. 1726 in Scotland, d. abt 1792 in Loudoun Co. VA. William's parents are reported to be Alexander McFarland and Elizabeth Tennent, m. 1/29/1723 in Glaskow , Scotland. A search at Scotlandspeople.gov.uk finds an Alexander McFarland b. 3/27/1694 in Kimadock, Perthshire, Scotland. The father is listed as Robert McFarland.

McFarland, Margaret 'Peggy' (I17769)
 
3141 I assume that James Mayes moved with his mother and family to Cumberland Co. in the 1760s. In the 1790 census in Peters township along with Johnston Elliott, James McFarlen, James Ramsey, is Andrew Mays. Wonder if Andrew is a son of James.

I have seen trees that say that this James Mayes moved to South Carolina, married Jane McIlwain in 1760 in Spartanburg SC, is on the census in 1779 in the 96th District, died Oct. 6, 1818 in Union Co. SC. However, I don't believe this is correct without some compelling proof, like a family bible. None of the children of James and Jane are named Andrew or Rebecca, which strikes me as most odd. 
Mayes, James (I8944)
 
3142 I assume that the B. in Rebecca's name is for Bell, her grandmother's maiden name. On the 1880 census, it shows her father being born in South Carolina, and mother in Tennessee-which is incorrect as far as I know. However the name Rebecca Lane appears in the land record dispositions and court cases of John McFarland, as does her son Robert. McFarland, Rebecca B. (I29891)
 
3143 I believe you have a good many errors in your message. John McFarland M. D. you speak of was the son of Dicy Bilbro and James McFarland. He married America Cook and practiced in Paris, Henry Co. TN. He stood 6'7" and died early. He and America had one son John Porter McFarland who also became a physician. McFarland, John B. (I26329)
 
3144 I can find no marriage records in Scotland for this couple. Family history says they came to Ireland in 1802 with infant Samuel; however, Samuel indicates he was born in Ireland. Family: John Robb, JoR03 / Mary Young (F804)
 
3145 I can not figure out the discrepancies that exist in her name and information that people have written about her. In the 1870 census in Fannin Co. Texas, she is named Nancy Wilkerson, and is born in 1864. In the Fortenberry Family Tree information she is described as named "Lizzie." It also states that she died in 1899 and she was 41, which means she was born in 1858. In another place in the same document it says she was born Feb. 1, 1851 and was born in Bowie County, Texas. None of that information fits with her being the same child named Nancy, and where did the "Rebecca Bell" part of her name come from. I would like to see some documentation to clear all this up. Wilkerson, Nancy Rebecca Bell (I30966)
 
3146 I cannot find this couple in any census records, or in any document that connects Robert and Agnes to Thomas, other than the marriage record. MHH Macfarlane, Robert (I23721)
 
3147 I don't know if she is Reuben's daughter, that is just a guess. McFarland, Nancy Eveline (I29033)
 
3148 I don't know what this date is based on. MHH Galloway, William (I1360)
 
3149 I don't know who this is. Not the same person as the Addie who is present in the 1880 census in this family in Burnet. McFarland, Ada (I9383)
 
3150 I found a Janet MacKinlay, dau John MacKinlay & Janet Blair, bapt 26 Apr 1752, Upper Lensick (?) Kilmadock, witnesses David McQueen & William Duncannson.

John MacK and Janet Blair had 11 kids from 1750-1770 incuding Janet in 1752, but she married Peter Mcgregor 22 Jan 1776 and they had at least 3 sons Peter 1787, James 1791 and Alexander 1789 in KIlmadock per family search... don't believe this i s our Janet. 
McKinlay, Janet (I18736)
