1799 Wiley Williamson Goynes died 1877 in Live Oak, Tx. (Y2)

In 1905 her photograph was printed in connection with a newspaper article about her life:

“The above is a likeness of Mrs. Susan Dickerson of La Para, Texas who has had relatives in every war in which the United States have been involved, and what is more remarkable, she has seen every one of them.  Mrs. Dickerson is now in her eightieth year.

In the Revolutionary War her grandfather, James Goynes and his four brothers served.  In the War of 1812 her uncle, John Goynes and her mother’s brother, Zidiah Brister served.

In the Texas Revolution two of her uncles, Dan and William Brister served.  In the Mexican War she had a husband, James Augustus Tindol and a brother Daniel Goynes.

In the Civil War she had a husband John S. Dickerson who was wounded at Vicksburg, which subsequently caused his death and a son, Ben F. Tindol and six of her brothers.

In the Spanish-American War she had a nephew W. W. Goynes, Jr.

She was born in Lawrence County, Mississippi February 3, 1825; moved with her father W. W. Goynes, Sr. to Kemper County in 1833; married James Augustus Tindol in 1839 and moved to Louisiana in 1849.  Tindol died the year they went to Louisiana.  In 1852, she was married to F. A. Bolgiano; was divorced from him in 1859 and married J. S. Dickerson in 1860.  She moved to Texas in 1856 and back to Louisiana in 1858 and back to Texas in 1865 where she has resided ever since.

By James Augustus Tindol she had three sons, Ben F. Tindol, Dick Tindol and G. W. Tindol.  By Francis A. Bolgiano she had two daughters, Mrs. S. E. Ferrell and Mrs. Mattie C. Brister.  By J. S. Dickerson she had a son, J. J. Dickerson and a daughter, Mrs. Dollie Maxwell.

She has twenty-five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.  She has been a member of the Baptist Church for forty-five years.  She now lives at La Para in Live Oak County with Mrs. C. W. Maxwell, her youngest daughter.  She now draws a Confederate pen­sion of $2.16 per month.”

Margaret Frances Goynes Olson wrote March 17, 2001 to report some errors in the newspaper account

“I am writing to explain some of the typographical errors in the newspaper article about Susan Goynes Tindol Dickerson.

She was born in 1825, so, she could not have meant “her” brothers served in the Revolutionary War, but it should have been the brothers of James Goyne, her grandfather.

Also, the newspaper spelled her maiden name as Gay-nes, but it has always been spelled Goynes along with every person who descended from Wiley Williamson Goynes.  His father’s spelling was Goyne, but, it ap-pears to me that every one of the men, up to that time, changed the spelling of their name in some way, when-ever they were married.  The “A” should be “O”.

My Grandmother, Ellen E. McMurray-Goynes death record is listed in the Texas State Archives as Gaynes, but, that is the only place I have found it misspelled.  Her husband’s tombstone is Goynes.

The Tindol name was also misspelled in the article.  George Washington Tindol is the correct spelling.

When she listed her daughters as Mrs. S. E. Ferrell, she was using the initials of her daughters maiden name, Sarah Ella Bolgiano-Ferrell, not C. Bynum Ferrell who she married last.  Then Mrs. Mattie C. Brister was Mat-tie C. Bolgiano Brister, wife of Yancy G. Brister.  Mat-tie and Yancy were cousins.”
