(Research):Marion Township Church History (Owen Co, IN)
Located in the southwest corner of the township, it is an offshoot from the Jefferson Church at Coal City and dates its history from the year 1870. It was organized by Rev. W.L. Bicknell, with a membership of twenty persons. A frame house of worship was erected a short time after the organization on land belonging to Tipton Thompson and cost the sum of $700. The present church membership is about forty. Is this our Tipton? Probably not.

Obituary:

Last Friday night at 12:00 the death of Tipton Thompson occurred at the home of his son, J. W. Thompson, some three miles northwest of town. The funeral was conducted Saturday at 4:00 PM by Elder C. E. Moore at the Mills Cemetery where interment was made.
Mr. Thompson was born in Logansport, Indiana, September 22, 1831. This is where he grew to manhood. In 1851 he moved to California; remaining there several years. He was married on April 5, 1858 to Evaline Coon, in whom he found a faithful, loving and devoted companion for 50 years and one week. In 1879 the Tipton Thompson Family came to Texas remaining until Tipton's death, April 10, 1908.
Mr. Thompson was an industrious and honorable man with high ideals of life and hence he made many friends because he was a friend to many. He became a Christian in 1856 and at no time did he shrink from following faithfully in his Master's Service and was rewarded with a happy, peaceful life.
Tipton and Evaline were blessed with seven children, and a number of grandchildren, who live to mourn his departure. Thus a happy family is separated. This is the lot of man in this world, "The ages of sin is death but the gift of god is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord." May he have attained the biblical ideal in his going. We extend the family our sincere sympathy.

Tipton married Evaline COON on 28 Mar 1858 in , Sonoma, California, USA. Evaline (daughter of Dr William COON and Margaret JORDAN) was born on 4 Sep 1841 in , , Indiana, USA; died on 28 Feb 1936 in Mesquite, Dallas, Texas, USA; was buried on 29 Feb 1936 in Garland, Dallas, Texas, USA.

Garrison, William F
William F. Garrison was born during 1841 in York County, South Carolina. His parents were Arthur and Mariah Terissa Bentley Garison of York County, South Carolina.
William was the third son of Arthur and Mariah. He enlisted in the Confederate army and served them until July of 1865. Four months later on November 14, he married Nancy Hannah Elvira Poovey. Nancy was the daughter of David and Christian Lucretia McCallum Poovey. David was born November 15, 1815 in Burke County, North Carolina and Lucretia was born February 15, 1815 at Perthshire Scotland.
William, and his new bride, Nancy lived in York County, South Carolina until the winter of 1869. They had three children during that time: Mary Catherine born during 1866; James Pickney born during 1868, and Augustus Garrison born August 14, 1869. Their other children were Emma J. born 1871; John D. born 1872; William D. born 1874; Cordelia Estelle born 1875; Nancy Garrison born during 1878, and Lois A. which was born at Liberty Grove during 1878.
The Garrison family owned large tracts of land and had lived in South Carolina for more than a hundred years, but the spoils of war caused William's parents to head southwest. It was the winter of 1869 when William, accompanied by his parents and brother Peter Prince, brother Zebus Arthur, along with his sister Sarah Clarinda Neely and her husband David Jackson traveled into Bradley County, Arkansas and settled near the small town of Warren.
William's younger brother, John, died in 1864 at the age of twenty-nine after contracting an intestinal infection while serving in the 17th Regiment, Company E, around Charleston Harbor.
William moved from Arkansas to Liberty Grove, Texas in 1878. Sometime during his service for the Confederacy, William caught severe pneumonia and had to be hospitalized. He never fully recovered and died on October 6, 1882 at the age of forty-one. Nancy never remarried.
William and Nancy were both united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Pleasant Valley.

Obituary:

William F. Garrison was born in York, co. S.C., Oct. 14, 1841. At the age of eighteen he made a profession of Christianity, and united with the Presbyterian (O.S.) Church. He was married to Miss N.A.T. Poovey, Nov. 14, 1865. They moved to S. Arkansas in 1869 where they united with the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in which Bro. Garrison acted as ruling elder. In 1873 they moved to N. Arkansas; and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Thus we see they would not live out of the Church. In 1879 they moved to Dallas co. Texas and united with Pleasant Valley congregation of the C.P. church, where Bro. Garrison died, on the 6th of Oct. 1882. He leaves a wife and nine children. He left them with the legacy of an upright Christian life.
He died in faith and peace. J.H. Dickerson.

William married Nancy Hannah POOVEY on 14 Nov 1865 in Rock Hill, York, South Carolina, USA.

Notes:

I have material you will like in regard to Tipton Thompson. What I am writing now is all off the top of my head: In about 1979 when I was first gathering family material and asking living family members about family history, I found documents, among the documents that I know were my family's, having to do with the guardianship of the minor children of James Thompson -who died in Logansport about 1829. (I know you have Tipton's birth as 1832, but it had to have been before that). Their mother's name was Catherine. The children whose names I remember were Dunham, Hedge, Tipton, and Margaret. Possibly more than 4. I have never been able to understand just why these documents were with my family's documents.
I have an ancestor named Nancy Thompson whose father was Richard Thompson. I have never been able to find out if this James Thompson was a brother of Nancy. They were of the same generation. As you well know, Thompson research can be very difficult! And my main focus is on other ancestors. If Tipton had a more common given name, I would never have been able to make a connection.

Obituary:

Lucretia Poovey was born Feb. 15, 1818, in Scotland, and in the same year was brought by her parents to South Carolina where she was raised to womanhood; professed the Christian religion at 15 years of age and joined the Presbyterian church, in which she lived a consistent life; was married to David Poovey Oct. 24, 1839; moved to Texas in an early day. Here they lived and raised a respectable family of children, some of whom are our highly esteemed neighbors. She became a member of the C. P. church at Pine Grove in 1871, in which she was faithful till death, which occurred Sept. 8, 1900, being 82 years, 6 months and 23 days old. A good woman gone; a mother in Israel has falllen. One by one we are crossing the narrow stream of death; soon we shall be gathered home. Let us be true to ourselves, our country and our God and all will be well. L.E. Tipps
[She was living with Robert.]
