| 342 | Born in either North or South Carolina, maiden name believed to be MARLEY. 1st husband was Solomon NETTLES who d. Sep 6, 1814 in Buffalo, NY during War of 1812. 2nd marriage was to Amos Jefferson JUSTICE, Sr., his 2nd marriage as well. This is confirmed in Book A-1 Madison Co., MO. Page 67 Feb. Term of the Court, 1824, 1st day The court does appoint Amos Justice Guardian for William Nettles and Dorcass Nettles infants of Solomon Nettles deceased under the age of fourteen years, and at the same time come Shadrack and Nettles and Matilda Nettles infants of the said Solomon Nettles deceased over the age of fourteen years & chose Amos Justice their guardian and at the same time the said Amos Justice guardian as aforesaid entered into bond with security in the sum of $300.00 conditioned as the law required. Which bond is ordered to be filed. This Will was found in the Powhaten Museum, Lawrence County, AR. in the file for CHARLES HATCHER. The community in which Amos lived was DAVIDSONVILLE (now Old Davidsonville, in Randolph County, AR). On Page 130: 10 March 1829: Charles HATCHER appointed administrator of the estate of Amos JUSTICE, dec'd. On Page 134-135: 15 August 1829 - Last Will & Testament of Amus JUSTICE In the name of God Amen. I, Amos JUSTICE, now an inhabitant of the County of Lawrence and Territory of Arkansas, being in my right mind, yet considering the frailities of human nature and the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, do, in the presence of Almighty God, make this my Last Will and Testament. I will and bequeath unto my wife, Margaret JUSTICE, all the improvement on which I now dwell and my stock of hogs now in my possession. Also all of the balance of my cattle over and above and remaining after the just payment of all of my debts, and all of my household furnitureand kitchen furniture. I choose and appoint my son, John D. JUSTICE, to be executor of this my Last Will and Testament to receive all my papers in my possession, all debts coming to me and execute to collection and make an equal distribution of all balances between the several heirs. Given under my hand the day and date above written (Signed) Amus JUSTICE Witnesses: David ORR John MARTIN P.S. In addition to the above, I will and bequeath unto my wife one horse, one mare and one colt. The two year old colts to my two step-daughters, Matilda and Dorky. (Signed) Amus JUSTICE Same witnesses Proved in open court during the April 1829 term by the oath of David ORR. The Will was recorded on 5 May 1829 by Thomas S. DREW, Clerk. On Page 140-141: 7 May 1829 John D. JUSTICE appointed executor of the estate of his father, Amus JUSTICE, dec'd NOTES FROM LANITA: One of the curators at the Old Davidsonville State Park says that "The town of Davidsonville was established in 1815 and survived until about 1829. We had the first courthouse, post office, federal land office, and cotton gin in the Arkansas Territory. The town was established originally to be the county seat for Lawerence County, AR. I do not have Amos Justice name on my very short list of residents. However, since you have his will stating he died and is buried here, there is no doubt in my mind that this is true. Folklore has it that in the winter of 1828-1829 there was a great epidemic in the township of Davidsonville which had a population of nearly 500 people (from the census in 1820). We have many wills and death certificates which lead us to believe this folklore could very well be true." One of the enumerators for Randolph County, AR wrote: "I thought it might be of interest to you to know that we have now finished the enumeration of the Davidsonville cemeteries. There are 5 marked (identified) graves in the Phillips/Reeves cemetery. However there is much indication of many burials in this cemetery due to numerous depressions as well as the many gladestone markings. Unfotunately, we found no burials with the Justice surname. We have the Phillips/Reeves Cemetery, which is located on the west side of the park, now online. I really feel that this is the cemetery in which those who lived and died at Davidsonville were buried. It was, no doubt, a large cemetery at one time, but very little remains today with the exception of a lot of depressions and gladestones. 1830 Census, Lawrence County, AR: Margaret Justice 1 male of fifteen and under twenty 1 female of fifty and under sixty | Marley (Justice), Margaret (P3583)

| 344 | Born Staten Island, New York Burial: Unknown, Dover, Staten Island, Richmond Co. NY. The Stillwells were descended from one of the most influential and important families, which first settled in New Amsterdam (New York) in the late 1630's while it was still controlled by the Dutch. The family originated in Surrey England. The progenitor of the family in America was Lt. Nicholas Stillwell, 1603-1671. To escape religious persecutions in England he went to Holland. There he offered his services as a soldier to Elizabeth the queen of Bohemia in support of Protestantism. After suffering defeat at Prague, he was one of the queen's escort during her flight to Breslau. It is rumored that he married one of her maids of honor, Abigail Hopton. Extensive research had yet to prove that that marriage happened. After the disbandment of the queen's army he and other family members came to New Amsterdam. He emigrated with his family to New Amsterdam, apparently in the 1640's. The Stillwells eventually settled at Graves End on Long Island with the Lady Moody colonists. Lt. Nicholas Stillwell commanded forces against the Indians in Virginia and later aided Governor Claybourne in MD. He owned one of the original 20 acre farms at Graves End. and eventually resided on 200 acres near Graves End. He was a lieutenant and commander in charge of the expedition against the Indians in the Esopus war. After completing that mission successfully he returned to New Amsterdam and served as a friend and confident of Gov. Peter Stuyvesant, the last of the Dutch governors before the English takeover of New Amsterdam. His second son was Captain Nicholas Stillwell 1636-1714/15. He served as a justice and a constable at Graves End for a number of years. He also served as captain of the Graves End militia. From 1691-1698 he was a member of the colonial assembly from King's County NY. In 1693 he commanded the King's County contingent of men with the Fletcher expedition to Canada against the French and the Indians. He was a man who received many honors during his lifetime. He was also well educated which was an exception in the times in which he lived. (Source: Genealogical and Family History of the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys, Pennsylvania, vol.

| 349 | Brother Ephraim A. Speer, M. D., son of Joshua K. Speer, one of our pioneer preachers, died at his home near Readyville, Rutherford County, Tenn., on July 18, 1906. He was born on August 7, 1838. Brother Speer served as a surgeon in the Confederate Army four years. He was an elder in the New Hope church of Christ, near Readyville. He was always, when able, at his post of duty. His influence was felt for good throughout the community in which he lived. He was a man of few words, but of very deep and sober thoughts. Three of his favorite sayings were: "Let the stars fall rather than apply for divorce;" "If I could know that my children would tell the truth, always the truth, just the truth, only the truth, I would be satisfied;" "A true man is always trying to be honest in act, in word, and in thought." I will always be thankful that I was blessed by being thrown with Brother Speer during his life. His influence has encouraged me no little. That he was a true soldier, a faithful Christian, a devoted father and husband, I have not one doubt. The last time I ever talked with him his leading thought was in behalf of the best interest of the congregation of which he was an elder. Those who survive him have my deepest sympathy. They, however, should remember that their loss is heaven's gain. They have every reason to be hopeful of meeting him in the "Sweet by and by," if they will only be faithful.

| 350 | Brother Ephraim A. Speer, M. D., son of Joshua K. Speer, one of our pioneer preachers, died at his home near Readyville, Rutherford County, Tenn., on July 18, 1906. He was born on August 7, 1838. Brother Speer served as a surgeon in the Confederate Army four years. He was an elder in the New Hope church of Christ, near Readyville. He was always, when able, at his post of duty. His influence was felt for good throughout the community in which he lived. He was a man of few words, but of very deep and sober thoughts. Three of his favorite sayings were: "Let the stars fall rather than apply for divorce;" "If I could know that my children would tell the truth, always the truth, just the truth, only the truth, I would be satisfied;" "A true man is always trying to be honest in act, in word, and in thought." I will always be thankful that I was blessed by being thrown with Brother Speer during his life. His influence has encouraged me no little. That he was a true soldier, a faithful Christian, a devoted father and husband, I have not one doubt. The last time I ever talked with him his leading thought was in behalf of the best interest of the congregation of which he was an elder. Those who survive him have my deepest sympathy. They, however, should remember that their loss is heaven's gain. They have every reason to be hopeful of meeting him in the "Sweet by and by," if they will only be faithful. May God ever bless his and all the bereaved of the earth. -- S. H. Hall., Atlanta, Ga. - Gospel Advocate February 14, 1907, page 108. | Speer, Dr. Ephraim Aquilla (P4783)
