  • Interesting reading...
    From: LaVerne Harrell Clark

    The biography of LaVerne Harrell Clark, author of 8 books of fiction and non-fiction, again appears in connection with her writings and photography, in both the current editions of Marquis’s WHO’S WHO of AMERICA, as it has since the previous, 59th. ed., and in WHO’S WHO OF AMERICAN WOMEN, where it’s been included since the 1980s.

    A distinctive feature of both the former’s 60th ed. and the latter’s 25th.ed. is the biographical data they now include on some of the biographer’s ancestors like Clark’s who participated in historical events. On her father Boyce Harrell’s side, she counts back 7 generations to James Francis Walker Sr. and his wife Catherine Miller Walker who were members of Stephen F. Austin’s “Original 300,” who made up the first Anglo colonist to settle Texas while it belonged to Mexico. Their log home in Brenham, TX was restored by the owner of the famous Bluebell Ice Cream Co. there, for use as a Bed & Breakfast a while back.

    Likewise, their grandson, James Carrel Bell, another of her direct ancestors, was a participant in the Seige of Bejar, the battle in San Antonio, which led to the Alamo. His grave in Muldoon commemorates his climb as a youth on the expedition to the top of the Mission Concepcion to raise the flag of the regiment of volunteers that Gen. Burleson led into the city from Bastrop, TX., the county seat of her Smithville, TX birthplace, which LaVerne & L.D. again call home.

Notes:

Notes:

  • Daniel was a stonemason by trade and a Church of Christ minister. It has also been said that he worked on the Erie Canal. He probably moved to Texas in late 1835 or early 1836. The 1840 Citizens of Texas, Volume 2, Tax Rolls by Gifford White, page 35 (Fayette County, shows Daniel Baker owning two town lots in La Grange, Texas)

  • Daniel shows up in the 1850 Fayette County Texas census #235 (or 205), however Margaret no longer is named with the rest of the family. The 1860 Fayette County census for La Grange also indicates that Daniel's occupation was stone mason at $250 dollars (annual income?)

  • The first time Daniel shows up in Texas is December 26, 1839 on the tax list. He received Cert #146 for 640 acres of land.
