Notes

Bill and Charlotte Lamb
There was never a family more fun and more entertaining than the Lambs... To be a Lamb is to be fun and funny! Their children were Billy, Dolly, J essie, Carty, Gladys, Press and Archie.
Billy married Mayme Paris and she was just as fun! Dolly married Clair S tewart, Jessie married David Stewart, Carty married Thelma Shumway, Pres s married Jane Thorne and Gladys married Art Thompson.
Carty, Gladys and Press were all, at one time or another, part of the gan g I ran with. All the Lambs down through the years (and even today) hav e that ready wit, vivid imagination and ability to entertain and make u s laugh. In addition to this they were and are thoughtful and caring peo ple. Source: Theresa Wadsworth

Notes

THE STORY OF THE STAPP CLAN.... Years ago in Tennessee, Joshua Stapp marr ied Miss Sarah J. Stewart. Their children were four girls and four boys . The sons were named Silas, James, John and Benjamin. Silas was studio us and used every opportunity to improve his mental ability. He succeede d in passing the medical examination and became a doctor. James was a fa rmer, and John a carpenter and painter by trade. Ben, the youngest, see med to possess in a large measure all the qualities of his older brothers . His ability as a nurse and as an untrained, or rather unlicensed docto r, enabled him to render a valuable service to the sick of his home and c ommunity. His skill as a builder, both in wood and stone, enabled hi t o serve his neighbors as well as himself at a time when carpenters and ma sons were scarce. As a farmer he was among the first to discover and ado pt better seeds, stock, implements and methods. In fact, this spirit o f progress was doubtless responsible for the fact that the family becam e dissatisified with conditions in the little home community of Middle Te nnessee and decided to seek a better home elsewhere.
In 1850 Joshua Stapp (our great grandfather) with his family starte d out to find that home more to their liking. They traveled over parts o f Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas before reaching th e spot in Williamson County, Texas, where they located. Here in August o f 1851, Joshua Stapp bought the land I live on from Winslow Turner, and i t has been in possession of some of his descendants for eighty years. A t that time he paid one hundred eighty four dollars for three hundred six ty nine acres - - fifty cents and acre!
In those days buffalo carcasses could be found but no live buffaloe s were here. The Indians came to the homes of the settlers and asked fo r food. There were Indian fights in Burnet County, but none in Williamso n, at least none in this part of Williamson.
In 1854, Ben Stapp (Mattie Adams' father), bought one hundred twent y three acres of land at a dollar an acre. Here he builds a log house an d cultivated a small farm which was cleared from the heaviest timbered la nd. He thought prairie land was unfit for farming. They raised some whe at and corn which they had ground into flour and meat at Gabriel Mills wh ere water power was used. Wild turkeys were here then and wild geese wou ld sometimes settle on their whea at night by the thousands. The farmer s put out poison to keep them from eating up their crops.
When the Civil War broke out all four of the boys enlisted. Ben wa s able later to secure a commission to make shoes for the soldiers. Thi s gave him a chance to live at home with his family and serve his countr y at the same time. Then the settlers made their own shoes and spun thre ad on yarn from which they wove the cloth for their clothes.
On November the eleventh Ben Stapp gave to the school district a lo t which was forty-nine yards square. On this lot was built the first shc ool house. It was built of logs with a puncheon floor and a fireplace. Th e seats were made of logs, also. There were few books then. The pupil s studied the old Mulback readers, Websters blueback speller, and Quacken ock's and Ray's arithmetics.
In 1870 Ben Stapp built the first house in the community made of lum ber. Neighbors helped him haul the lumber from Lockhart in their ox wago ns. Ben was the first to have a team of horses in the community. Ben al so fenced the first pasture in the community. This was done in 1874. Th e fences at that time were either of rock or rails. Some later fencing w as done in planting hedges of boi d'are.
In the year 1871 Joshua Stapp sold sixty one acres of land for two h undred thirty seven dollars and fifty cents. September 4th, 1871, Joshu a Stapp sold to Dotson Skaggs, his son-in-law, one hundred eighty four an d one half acres, including all the improvements - - reserving seven acre s for his own use.
February 1, 1878, Ben Stapp bought our place from Dotson Skaggs fo r $1,500. During 1879, he was obliged to haul water four miles across th e prairie until spring was found and opened up which has seldom failed t o furnish water since. The first shallow well was dug in 1880. Later ot her shallow wells were dug as well as three drilled wells. Ben continue d to live on this land until his deat in 1916 - - a residence covering 6 6 years.
Before his death, Ben W. Stapp deeded, February 22, 1904, to his da ughter Mrs. M.E. Adams, one hundred thirty five acres, which she sold t o C.M. Stapp in 1917 for two thousand eight hundred dollars. June 30, 19 23, one hundred thirty five acres, valued at six thousand seven hundred d ollars, was deeded by J.M. Stapp and wife to my father, C.M. Stapp.
The residence built in 1870 was in continual use until 1925, when m y father replaced it with a modern home costing some four thousand dollar s.
Some of the things which we enjoy most are the electric lights fro m our Delco light plant, the fruit from our orchard started in 1925, an d the conveniences of a modern brick school building with six class room s and an auditorium. The school building is situated on a lot of five ac res sold from our tract of land.
The little town of Andice is located partly on land sold from our tr act. SOURCE: Brderbund WFT Vol. 3, Ed. 1, Tree #5705, Date of Import: Ju l 25, 1996.
