!According to Patty Lou Eubanks: Joshua Stapp was in Overton Co. Tenn. i
n the 1830 census and had been married approximately 10 years. He was bo
rn in Kentucky and delivered mail on horse-back as a young man. (story to
ld to P. L. E. by Lois Stapp Sharpe & Mr. John Love of Andice, TX) Neith
er Lois nor Mr. Love knew what part of Kentucky Joshua came from. It i
s the opponion of all that he lived somewhere on the Cumberland River an
d came down to Overton County, TN, where he married Sarah Stewart. Overt
on County TN records are bad, having been burned in the courthouse. No m
arriage record found there.
Joshua had fiery red hair and was liked by all. He must have been fro
m a well educated family, because his sons all had a very good education
. He owned quite a lot of land, but when he became old and feeble his ch
ildren were deeded the land. Most of the land went to son Benjamin Willi
s Stapp & wife, Elizabeth "Betty" Montgomery. They seemed to have the re
sponsibility of taking care of him. Mr. John Love, a resident of Andice
, said that he remembered Joshua Stapp as an old man and respected hi
m a great deal. Joshua had a long beard and used to run off and go visit
ing down the road with first one and then the other. Guess his mind had b
een effected with old age. (Patty Lou visited Mr. Love in Aug. 1972 an
d he was 96 years of age, making him about 11 years of age when Joshua di
ed, as Joshua was about 86 years old when he died.
)
!Notes on the places of Williamson County, TX:
Andice, originally called Stapp, later Berry's Creek. Joshua Stapp buil
t a log school-church near a spring on his place in 1857, where Cumberlan
d Presbyterians, Methodists and Baptists held union services. In 1876 An
drew "Buck" Jackson operated a small store near there on upper Berry's Cr
eek, was appointed postmaster of Berry's Creek post office, October 30, 1
876, succeeded by Benjamin W. Stapp, July 17, 1879; A. Jackson, William I
saac Newton and his wife, both of whom attended Liberty Normal & Busines
s College at Liberty Hill. Their son, Audice, was born January 6, 1899
, and soon after this event Newton applied for a post office, requestin
g that it be named "Audice." Postal officials misread the name, approve
d the office as "Andice," November 28, 1899, with Newton as postmaster
.
Note names of John Stapp & Elizabeth Medley's children. Compare with na
mes of Joshua & Sarah's childrens' names. This is also a good indicatio
n that we are on the right track:
Silas S. (perhaps Stewart) perhaps a throw back on Kitchen side of famil
y.
Samuel (named after Sarah's father)
James (perhaps after Joshua's father)
John (perhaps after Joshua's gr father)
Mary (perhaps after Joshua's mother) (Sarah's mother)
Elizabeth (perhaps after Joshua's gr mother)
Martha & Nancy (perhaps after aunts on both sides)
Benjamin (perhaps an uncle of Joshua)
