  ¶ First, I commit my soul into the hands of God trusting in His mercy and in the merits of my Redeemer for the redemption of my sins and my body I commit to the earth to be buried at the discretion of my Executors here-in-after named. And as to my temporal estate I bequeath and dispose in the manner following to wit: The whole of my estate both real and personal except what is here-in-after excepted to be equally divided between the heirs of my son, Benjamin Fortson deceased one distributive share.

• Note*: In 1782 he and Rachel were living in Orange County, Virginia with a family of eight whites and six servants. In 1774 he had leased from William Stanard for twenty-one years a farm plantation on the west side of the south branch of the Rapidan River in Orange County. In 1785 they were living in Orange County with a family of nine whites. He had furnished supplies for the Revolutionary Army and in 1780 was appointed a lieutenant in Captain Edmund Shackleford's company. He and Rachel must have moved to Georgia by 1792, when Thomas Carter deeded to Thomas 330 acres on Beaverdam Creek in that part of Wilkes County that became Elbert County in 1790. They lived in the Ruckersville area of Elbert County and were members of Vann's Creek Baptist Church. One record gives the name of the Fortsons' Elbert County home as Gatewood. They were slave owners, and he has been described as a man of education, culture, and unusual refinement. He was justice of the peace during the period 1790-1805. His will, dated 24 Jan 1824, was probated in Elbert County 13 Mar 1824 and is reprinted at pages 61-62 of Boyd's family history. His estate, including nineteen slaves, was valued at $6,942.68.

• Burial*: Interment was in Evergreen Cemetery, Ballinger, Runnels County, Texas.^6,7

• Obituary*: W. E. BARTLETT DIES SUDDENLY
  W. E. Bartlett died at the Halley & Love sanitarium at 12:30 Thursday afternoon, death coming in about four hours after he was stricken down at his studio Thursday morning. the news of his death soon spread over the city and brought grief to the many friends of the good man.
  The physicians worked fast and faithfully and did everything possible from the time Mr. Bartlett was discovered unconscious in his studio until he breathed his last. Some symptoms of the man's suffering indicated intestinal trouble, and it was reported that an operation could be performed. But further diagnosis dispelled this idea and the physicians stated that death resulted from heart lesion.
  Mr. Bartlett was one of Ballinger's best citizens. He had resided here for a number of years, being engaged in the photograph business. He was a faithful member of the Baptist church, a Christian gentleman, and was always found standing for the things he considered for the best interest of his town and community. His friends were numbered by his acquaintances. The day before he was stricken down he was among his friends on the street, and gathered with a crowd in the lobby of the postoffice while waiting for the mail, was in the best of spirits and apparently in good health.
  Before coming to Ballinger several years ago Mr. Bartlett resided in Santa Anna, and relatives from Brownwood and Santa Anna arrived here on the noon tain, and just as death came. He is survived by a wife and four children, three girls and a boy.
  Funeral arrangements had not been announced at two o'clock Thursday afternoon.
  W. E. Bartlett was found in an unconscious condition in the floor in the rear of his studio on Eighth Street early Thursday morning. Mr. Bartlett was found about thirty minutes after he left his home to come to his studio, and it is believed that he was stricken down probably ten minutes before he was found.
  Mr. Bartlett suffered an attack of heart trouble more than a year ago, and was in a serious condition for some time, but apparently recovered and was thought to be in fairly good health. The first thought of those who first reached him Thursday morning was that he had again been stricken down with heart trouble, probably rupture of the intestines, and he was carried to the sanitarium and plans made for the immediate operation.⁸
• Note*: He lived in Santa Anna, Texas until moving to Ballinger, Texas several years before his death. He was a professional photographer. His grave marker indicates he was a Mason, and his obituary says he was a Baptist.⁹

• Obituary*: "DIED HERE SATURDAY NIGHT
     "Highly Esteemed and Popular Citizen Is No More
     “M. S. Clayton, former Sheriff of Navarro County, and for several years past government cotton statistician for this county, died at his home, 616 South Fifteenth Street, at 8:30 Saturday night following a stroke of paralysis that he suffered about 2 o'clock that afternoon. The deceased was in his usual health when he was suddenly seized, and soon lapsed into unconsciousness from which he never rallied. The deceased was a native of Navarro County, and was 65 years, four months and thirteen days old at the time of his death. For many years he was a citizen of Chatfield, but had resided in Corsicana since he was elected sheriff of the county some years ago. In all the walks of life he was a good citizen, a true friend and a loving husband and father. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon. Funeral services were first conducted at the house by Rev. H. J. Ellis of St. John’s Episcopal church, of which the deceased was a communicant, after which the Odd Fellows took charge and concluded the services at the grave in the Chatfield cemetery.
     “The following Corsicana and Chatfield friends of the deceased were honorary pall bearers: L. A. Pinkston, Geo. Boyd, W. H. Hastings, Hawkins Scarborough, Joe Harper, Elbert Williams, Wiley Robinson, Ben Guynes, Robt. Witherspoon, Ford Witherspoon, W. J. Anderson, John Finch, George Meredith and Buck Kenner.
     “The deceased is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Charles Highnote, and numerous relatives.
     “The last sad rites were attended by a large concourse and there were many beautiful flowers.”.³⁰
• Note*: Known as Steele, he worked as a cowboy in West Texas from 1874 to 1878 and raised sheep in Navarro County from about 1878 until 1887. He farmed about 150 acres near Chatfield and operated the Guynes and Clayton store there. He was a constable and then a deputy sheriff, lost a race for sheriff in 1904, was elected sheriff in 1908 and 1910, did not run again, and primarily farmed the rest of his life. For a while after leaving the sheriff's office he served as county statistician for Navarro County, "a position in which he [was] required by the government to keep an accurate record of the number of cotton bales ginned in the county, the amount of cotton consumed by the Corsicana cotton factory, stocks of cotton retained in warehouses, amount of seed crushed and statistics concerning production in the various cotton-seed oil mills of his district, and other incidental data, ten gin reports being made by him to the census bureau in Washington between September and March of each year." He was a Democrat and member of the Odd Fellows. A 1914 biography said that he "has a host of friends in his native county and as a citizen he maintains a liberal and public-spirited attitude." A sister's granddaughter remembered him as "a rather tall, well built handsome man" and a "very gentle man as well as a 'gentleman' in every sense of the word." They lived at 616 S. 15th St. in Corsicana. One source gives his first name as Mastifer.^31,32
