1800 Joseph Eubanks

Joseph Eubanks b. abt 1800 m. Harriet Dutart b. abt 1809

(Later married Mary Ann Kinney – b. abt 1816 – d. 1901)

Parents: (Not confirmed)

John Eubanks b. abt 1760 m. ?  (John Eubanks as father of Joseph Eubanks is not confirmed yet by any deeds or wills, or any other direct evidence I know of, but can be deduced from the US Census reports and Jackson County, MS taxrolls.  The census and taxroll information are listed below.  John Eubanks’ 1820 US Census indicates he has 2 younger males living with him – one is assumed to be his son James Eubanks – the other appears to be Joseph Eubanks and is the correct age to be Joseph Eubanks (see 1820 US Census below).  

The 1820 Jackson County taxroll only shows father John Eubanks and brother James Eubanks (James appears to have turned the age of majority (considered an adult) 21 years of age in 1819 – his first year he shows up on the taxroll).  Joseph Eubanks shows up for the first time on his own taxroll in 1821 in Jackson County, Mississippi – the year he turned 21 (as his later US Census reports verify his birth year to be 1800).  The taxrolls and US Census reports heavily suggest that John Eubanks is the father of Joseph Eubanks, James Eubanks, and John Eubanks Jr. 

George Eubanks is another possibility as parent of Joseph Eubanks.   I list John Eubanks as my first choice as parent due to Joseph showing up with John Eubanks on the same taxroll in 1821.  

William Eubanks b. 1765 is not likely the parent of Joseph Eubanks – William appears to have died about 1840 in Perry County, Alabama.  The probate paperwork lists his children – many of which that live near Joseph Eubanks (such as Lemuel Eubanks, Burrell Eubanks, William Eubanks Jr, and James Eubanks).  Since Joseph Eubanks is not listed anywhere as an heir, or anywhere else in the probate papers, despite living nearby those listed above, the leads me to believe that Joseph Eubanks is not the child of William Eubanks – if he were an heir, he would have been listed somewhere in the probate papers, especially since Joseph was alive and well at this time – and was not too far away – just one state over.  

Children:

William J. Eubanks 1830–1906
James T. Eubanks 1831–
Francis Asbury Eubanks 1836–1895
Abigail G. Eubanks 1838–1925
Elizabeth Eubanks 1843–
Sarah J. Eubanks 1845–1918
Samuel B. Eubanks 1848–1931
Ellen Eubanks 1851–

Siblings:

John Eubanks Jr. b. abt 1785
James Eubanks b. abt 1793-1797 (This is possibly William Eubanks’ son, James Eubanks – must determine if there were two James Eubanks.  If there are not 2 James Eubanks, then this is most likely William Eubanks’ son).  
Joseph Eubanks b. abt 1800

Francis Eubanks b. abt 1800  (Possibly a son of John Eubanks – he moved to Carroll Co, MS prior to Joseph Eubanks – and according to US Census reports, is age to be an older brother of Joseph Eubanks).

(There are probably other children of John Eubanks who are siblings, but these are the ones that the US Census and taxrolls appear to point towards being his children).

JOSEPH EUBANKS as an adult:

In 1820, John Eubanks is in Jackson County, MS.  The taxrolls only list John Eubanks Sr.  The 1820 US Census names the head of household as John Eubanks Sr (nearby is his son John Eubanks Jr).  Living in John Eubanks Sr’s home are two adults – that appear to be the age of James Eubanks and Joseph Eubanks.  In John Eubanks Jr’s home is another adult male that appears to be the age of Francis Eubanks.

One year later, in 1821, Joseph Eubanks shows up on the Jackson County, Mississippi taxrolls.  This is the year Joseph Eubanks turned 21 – so the year he became a legal adult (age 21).

Records for Joseph Eubanks disappear from 1822 until 1828 when he gets married in East Feliciana Parish in Louisiana.  Joseph Eubanks shows up on the 1830 US Census in East Feliciana Parish with his bride.

The next record of Joseph Eubanks is found in Hinds County, Mississippi, along with his brother John Eubanks.  It appears Joseph Eubanks’ father must have died some time before 1830 – where only John Eubanks Jr. is listed.  (See records below):

POTENTIAL PARENTS of JOSEPH EUBANKS: 

(The following are possible parents of Joseph Eubanks – based on documents located – not confirmed who the parent is yet).  

(Eubanks sources )

Joseph Eubanks was born about 1800 in South Carolina according to his US Census reports in 1850, 1860, and 1880.  The 1880 US Census indicates his parents were born in Virginia.

Childhood:

Based on the following records, if John Eubanks is Joseph Eubanks’ father, John Eubanks would have moved his family to the Washington County, Mississippi area some time between 1800 and 1805.   There is at least one petition that John Eubanks signed indicating he was in the Spanish West Florida part of the Territory of  Mississippi by February 4, 1802.

At the time, Washington County covered most of the southern part of Mississippi.  The section of land along the coast was controlled by Spain, but was claimed to be part of the Louisiana Purchase by the US.  John Eubanks lived in this area.  The area was known as “West Florida” and stretched from Florida’s current panhandle to Louisiana.

In the following petition, John Eubanks signed a petition asking the United States to help establish a system to bring schools and teachers to the Mississippi Territory that had been controlled by Spain.

1805 Nov 7, Petition:
“To the honourable house of representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, — the humble petition of the undersigned, inhabitants of the county of Washington in the Mississippi Territory.”
. . . “Your petitioners, moreover, take leave to inform your honourable body that there is a tract of about 80 acres, belonging to the United States, on which the old Spanish Fort, called Fort St. Stephens, and an old priest’s house are standing, these buildings being now occupied by the United States trading house for the Chactaws, the troops of the United States, nominally at Fort St. Stephens, being on a different tract of land, — that this tract of 80 acres, is eligibly sitated for a town, and if divided into lots for that purpose, might be rendered subservient to the purposes of education, — that the inhabitants of the before mentioned settlements, have never had it in their power to afford encouragement to able teachers to settle among them, — that their children have scarcely any opportunities of being instructed at home, — that, if they were otherwise able, they are too remote from all other settled countries, to send them abroad for that purpose, — and that they heavy imposition which they suffer from the Spanish government, give them, as they humble conceive, a peculiar claim to such assistance as can properly be rendered by the government of the United States.”
The petition goes on to ask that one of the courts in the county or district of Washington appoint trustees of schools in each township settled. To hire teachers, buy and sell property for their respective schools, etc.
They advise that owners of land in the county of Washington have had “considerable expense” in translating Spanish warrants of land, and ask help from the United States in the expense of translating these documents (as the Spanish officers are charging burdensome rates they are unable to pay).
Assistance is also asked for people who have land certificates that conflict with British patents.
John Hughbanks is one of the signers of this petition.

In the November 15, 1805 petition, inhabitants ask for pre-emption rights to lands that were formerly controlled by Spain that US citizens and improved (living upon, farming, plantations, etc).  The petition indicates these people had lived and improved upon these lands prior to March 1803 when a US commisioner was sent to the area to settle the lands.

1805, Nov 15: Petition to the House of Representatives by Inhabitants of Washington County
“To the honourable house of Representatives of the United States, the humble petition of the undersigned inhabitants of the county of Washington in the Mississippi Territory respectfully sheweth,
That many of the inhabitants of the said county, subsequent to the month of March 1803 and before the arrival of the commissioners appointed to settle the land claims in the said county, settled and improved the lands on which they live, under an expectation which afterwards proved to be unfounded, that they should be entitled to pre-emptions at least, — that their circumstances rendered them generally unable to remove to any other part of the United States, — that they are now in danger of having their tracts sold away from them, merely in consequence of the improvements they have made, though in many instances they would not sell for two dollars an acre, in their natural state. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that whereever it can be made appear to the satisfaction of the superior court of Washingon district, that any inhabitant of the said county did settle and improve vacant land within the same previously to the arrival of the said commissioners, that such person may be entitled to a pre-emption of such section or part of a section or sections, as may include his improvements. And your petitioners as in duty bound shall ever pray &etc.

Letter, William Eubanks, Jackson County, to Governor Holmes, regarding Sterling Dupree’s election for Colonel and efforts to discredit him
Series 488: Administration Papers, 1769, 1788-1817; n.d.
1816 (or 1815), Nov 26th – Jackson County
(The letter is difficult to read, the following is a summary of what I could make out in the letter):
Sir, I have just our horses from a long journey and five days before leaving home we had an Election in our county at the court house for a Colonel at which Sterling Dupree was unanimously elected by all the officers that was there my self and Walter Davis excepted.
Davis himself wrote to Capt Ware that he was a Candidate and his name was put up and he got not a solatary vote.
And as to my own part had I have been there and have 50 votes, I —– have give them unto Dupree
I find there is a Scandalous petition discredited . . . handed about to certain individuals to the great injury of him the said
Dupree stating he plundered negroes schooners or in the comments heard it is a man should be blamed for taking his own for the negroes were Duprees own property that the Spanish Commandant had extorted from him contrary to the Spanish Law . . .
Walter Davis him self had no wright to a Comsn for he was . . . proved to be a “traytor a coward and a Tory”.
He states that the petition is a plot by Walter Davis who is the sole starter of the petition.
He again closes by calling Walter Davis a “traytor a coward and a Tory”.
Accuses Walter Davise of giving “fals sertificates” against Dupree
Signed: William Eubanks

In 1816, Walter Davis makes another attempt to have Sterling Dupree removed from office in his letter written below.

1816, Oct 24 – Letter asking for removal of Sterling Dupree
Jackson County,
Dear Sir, I have taken the liberty to inform you of the conduct of some of our officers in this place which are degrading to human race of their drunkenness and vile conduct in paying no regard to the law in no shape. I am sorry to trouble you with this account but it has bin with a long continued practice and no hope of their return the names of the said officers is James Ware, Whealer Grisham, Wm. Hableton, Justices of the Qorum and Starling Dupree Colonel of the County who is by no means capable of the place. Set aside this of drunkenness and gaming and fiting the said officers above mentioned I can inshore you thea are not the choise of the people but has bean recomended by some person to your excellency as the choise of the people the said Dupree was elected by two voters alone and by the request of some of my neighbours to myself praying you would put them out of office and place sober men in thear stid that would do themselves honer and thear neighbours justice for the proof of this charge aply to your humble servant I repeete once more we pray the to remove these men out of office as it will be to the peace and tranquility of the county at large.
I am yours
Walter Davis
(To his Excellincy David Holms)
