Lewallen, Henry - Not located on this Census

 

Hannah Motley Lewallen was the mother of Sarah Emmaline Lewallen Hogan.  She was born in Kentucky or Tennessee in 1814 or 1816.  She was probably married about 1830.  No record has been found of the marraige or the first name of her husband.

However, it is known that Sarah's father and her oldest brother, Bill and a neighbor went to the gold rush.  A few months later, the neighbor returned and told the family that they had both contracted Cholera.  They had recovered and went swimming in the river (maybe the Platte).  They were still very weak and drowned.  Hannah always thought they might have been killed for the $3,000 they had taken with them.

(Note: evidently this was money they had on them on their trip back home.)

 

According to the 1850 Taney County, Missouri Census, Hannah is listed as the head of the family. 

Other members of the Lewallen family listed were C.  age 17, no further record of her has been found, perhaps she married and moved from the area or died before the 1860 Census.  Mary Jane 15, and the older children were born in Tennessee. E.A. 13, family members called her Keziah and later Sarah's children called her Kazar.  She was born in North Carolina.  Matthew John II and Jesse 9 were born in Tennessee.  Sarah Emmaline 8 was born near Yellville, Arkansas on October 26th, The records show the year of her birth 1843 or 1844.  George 7, James Ross 4, Robert 3 and Elizabeth 2 were born in Missouri.  However, the Census Reports were not always accurate.

 

Just before the Civil War, Hannah took some corn to the mill to be ground.  She just had a small amount so she did not put the wagonbox on the wagon.  She was just riding on the running gears of the wagon.  The team of horses went over a steep bank and the coupling came loose on the wagon.  It came forward and hit her, breaking her back.  She did not live very long.

 

After her mother's death, Sarah was appointed legal guardian for her younger brothers and sisters.  John and jesse joined the Union Army. According to the book one of the Lewallen men was killed by bushwahckers while he was hauling supplies from Taney County to Rolla, Missouri for the Unioon Army.  We think it was James.  We do not know whether George was in the war or not.  He died in Dade County Missouri in 1912.  He spelled his last name Lieuallen. I have read that there are at least forty ways to spell it.  After his brothers left, Robert lied about his age and without Sarah's knowledge or consent, joined the Union Army. Sarah was very upset when she found out what he had done but she thought maybe he would be safer in the army. It was not a safe place to live. One day some bushwhackers came by and told Sarah if they were not gone by morning, they would be back and burn everything. Sarah and her youngest sister, Elizabeth, the only two left home, loaded everything they could get in the wagon and started to Johnson County, Kansas. Her older sister, Keziah and her husband, James Oilver, lived in that area.

 

Right after the war, Emma Hogan, Sarah's good friend introduced her to her brother, Andrew Jackson hogan.  They were married on September 28, 1865.  They lived in the Kansas City area for awhile after they were married.

 

One day while they were still living there, Sarah's youngest brother came to visit them.  He clained he had just came for a visit. The next morning A. J. noticed the army brand on his horse had not been altered as was the custom when aman was discharged.  A.J. asked Robert about it and he admitted that he had been stationed in New Mexico Territory and had become homesick and deserted. It was the spring of the year and he and his horse had to swim all the creeks and rivers along the way.  A. J. told him to leave.  A few days later, two army men came to their home looking for him.   They never found him.  Sarah always said they could not have punished him because he had enlisted without her consent.

 

 

Mary Jane has been the subject of many an in-depth search!  Many of us thought we were searching in vain!  This search is evidenced by the Louallen Page here on this site listing cross-referenced Louallens of various spellings!

Not too many years ago I was talking with my sister and she informed me, in quite a matter-of-fact fashion, that "They found her."  I was shocked and so happy to hear those words.  I am certain "Billy Rex" was thrilled also.  He had spent many years researching the whereabouts of Our Mary Jane!

REMEMBER- It is Mary Jane's mother Hannah, Ford, Anna, or Motley we now are searching for!  She was Cherokee!

Mary Jane is Lu Dawn's great great grandmother!

 

Please note that the John Robert Babil Lewallen found posted all over the internet is in fact, incorrect with the lineage for Hannah.

If that was his name, we must find the correct John Robert Babil Lewallen!

I urge you to press on and attempt to find the correct lineage for our Hannah and her husband!

One record indicates Edwin died 26 Apri 1838 in Difficult Creek, Allen, Ky. but I am leary about this being Hannah's parents.  Much work left to be done here.
