CLARDY, MARY M. (?-?). Mary M. Clardy, a late-nineteenth-century reformer,
held positions in both the Prohibition party and the Texas state Farmers'
Alliance. Her home was listed as Bexar when she attended the 1890 Prohibition
party state convention in Fort Worth as a member of the Committee on Platform
and Resolutions. She was the only woman at that convention to serve in an
official capacity. She advocated world trade markets for farmers in an 1890
article in the Farmers' Alliance newspaper, the Southern Mercury.m She also
contributed articles on the Populist party (see PEOPLE'S PARTY) and reform to
the National Economist, the national Farmers' Alliance newspaper in
Washington, D.C. In 1892 she was elected assistant state lecturer of the
Farmers' Alliance of Texas, one of only three women elected to a state office
in the Southern Farmers' Alliance. In 1892 the Southern Mercury gave her home
as Sulphur Spring.

SCATES, WILLIAM BENNETT (1802-1882). William Bennett Scates, soldier and
signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence,qv son of Joseph and
Elizabeth Scates, was born in Halifax County, Virginia, on June 27, 1802. The
family moved to Christian County, Kentucky, where Scates remained until 1820,
when he went to New Orleans; there he clerked and did carpenter work. He
arrived at Anahuac, Texas, on March 2, 1831, and in 1832 participated in the
Anahuac Disturbances and the battle of Velasco. In 1835 he joined the
Revolutionary Army and took part in the siege of Bexar. Scates was one of the
two representatives from Jefferson Municipality at the Convention of 1836 at
Washington-on-the-Brazos and there signed the Declaration of Independence.
When he left the convention, Scates rejoined the army and participated in the
battle of San Jacintoqv in Benjamin F. Bryant's company of Sabine Volunteers.
When Bryant's company was disbanded, Scates joined Hayden S. Arnold's
Nacogdoches Company. After the revolution he settled in Washington County,
where he married Theodocia Clardy Smith on November 17, 1836; two children
were born to them. By 1840 Scates had title to 150 acres in Fayette County;
he also appears on that county's 1846 poll-tax list. After his first wife's
death, he married Sarah McMillan, on March 25, 1850; they had five children.
At the age of sixty-two, Scates enlisted as a private in Company F, Fourth
Battalion, Texas Cavalry, Texas State Troops, on October 9, 1863. He died on
February 22, 1882, and was buried near Osage, Colorado County. In 1929 the
state of Texas reinterred the bodies of Scates and his second wife in the
State Cemetery.

"FOX, JOSEPHINE MARSALIS CLARDY." The Handbook of Texas Online.
<http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/FF/ffo38.html>
[Accessed Sun Jan 23 12:19:54 2000 ].
FOX, JOSEPHINE MARSALIS CLARDY (1881-1970). Josephine Marsalis Clardy Fox,
art collector and benefactor, was born in Liberty Township, Missouri, on
August 13, 1881, the only child of Zeno Blanks and Allie (Davis) Clardy. In
1882 her family moved to El Paso, where her father established a legal
business. His frequent acceptance of valuable property in lieu of money for
legal services formed the foundation for a considerable fortune. Josephine
Clardy attended public schools until 1895, when she enrolled in a private
girls' school in St. Louis. Her enjoyment of drama and music classes there
prompted a lifelong interest in the arts.
After her father's death in 1901, she studied music in El Paso, San
Francisco, and New York City and traveled in the United States and in Europe.
Although she had a fine voice, she gave up singing entirely in later years.
As a young woman she suffered an eye injury that eventually led to a partial
loss of sight. On January 20, 1916, Josephine Clardy married Eugene Emmett
Fox, a railroad executive, in New York City; they had no children. They
settled in El Paso, where Mrs. Fox began collecting fine furniture and art
for their home at 1119 Montana Street.
The thirties were difficult years for her. She was in a serious car accident
in the early thirties that left her back permanently damaged, and she
suffered serious financial setbacks, frequently finding it difficult to pay
the taxes on her family's land. Financial obligations kept her in El Paso
while her husband worked in Washington, D.C. He died in 1934, and in 1940 her
mother, to whom she was very close, also died. After the depression, however,
her fortunes began to improve, and she participated in El Paso's social and
cultural events until poor health intervened in the 1960s. She was a
supporter of the El Paso Museum of Art,qv the El Paso Symphony Orchestra, the
El Paso Community Concert Association, and the Dallas Civic Opera. She was a
member of the El Paso County Historical Society,qv the National Society of
Arts and Letters, and numerous other social and charitable clubs. She was
named to the Advisory Committee of the National Arts Foundation in 1953.
In the mid-forties, with the help of William J. Elliott, Josephine Fox began
developing large tracts of land formerly used to grow cotton. This
development, together with two profitable land sales in the late 1950s, made
her a wealthy woman. Her increased affluence enabled her to buy a number of
paintings and other art objects from Count Ivan Podgoursky and Count Louis
von Cseh in the late fifties and sixties. She paid high prices for works
falsely attributed to Antoine Watteau, Peter Paul Rubens, Thomas
Gainsborough, Diego Vel�zquez, and Bartolom� Esteban Murillo, but did acquire
a valuable painting by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot and a portrait of George
Washington by a follower of Gilbert Stuart. She was more successful in
assembling an extensive collection of decorative art objects; her home was
filled with fine antique furniture, a large collection of beautiful and
historic fans, rare silver boxes and flatware, fine porcelain, a large
collection of antique clocks, and Limoges enamels. She also gave land to the
city of El Paso to establish a school in memory of her father and a branch
library in her name. She made charitable gifts to the El Paso Symphony, the
Hotel Dieu School of Nursing, the Salvation Army, the United Fund, and a
number of other churches, schools, and charities.
In 1959 Fox fell and broke her hip, necessitating surgery and a long
convalescence. She broke the same hip in 1964, and spent the rest of her life
in the hospital. She was a Presbyterian for most of her life but was
converted to Catholicism shortly before her death. She died on May 11, 1970,
and left her entire estate, valued at more than $3 million, to the University
of Texas at El Paso, the largest gift to the institution at that time. Her
collection of 1,000 books, some very old and rare, went to the University of
Texas at El Paso library. Hundreds of the picture hats that Fox loved to wear
were given to the university's drama department for use in costumes. Some of
the oil paintings, antique furniture, and fine art objects from her home are
exhibited in various places on the University of Texas at El Paso campus,
including Hoover House, the president's home, and the conference room and
faculty dining room at the Centennial Museum. In addition, the Centennial
Museum has lent many of her decorative art objects and furniture to the
Quinta Gameras Museum at the University of Chihuahua.

hi, i am a clardi/clardy researcher here in texas. we settled in wise and vanzandt co after 1850. what is your line. John and William is mine. phil.jan(a)prodigy.net
In a message dated 19-01-00 12:58:58 AM Central Standard Time,

<< My suggestion to you regarding William T. is to find his land records in
Williamson Co., IL, Who did he buy from originally? And especially after
1845 when he dies. >>
I've searched back through the land records (dozens of rolls) at my family
history center, but William T. didn't own land, which is not unusual in
Williamson Co IL. Although the area was settled in the 1820's and before, the
bulk of the land transactions do not take place until land dropped to .13 an
acre in the 1850's. Most purchasers bought land from the federal government.
I've tracked the area where the family lived based on tracing the neighbors
on later censuses, and then looked at their land transactions. I've looked
hard at the adjacent names to William T. Clarida on the 1830 and 1840 census
(10-12 each way), and this is still an ongoing project.
<<Have you looked for an Estate packet for Wm.? What about tax records for
1850?>>
No estate packet, no guardianship papers- completely nada. A will was filed
for Elizabeth Clarida in 1892, but the box is empty. I'm not sure what that
means, but there is no will at the courthouse and the records have not been
sent anywhere, according to the clerk. Tax records have not been microfilmed,
some have been thrown away, and one roll has been transcribed- 1867 (I've
read it). I will have to go to Williamson Co IL to look at tax records. They
are at the Historical Society which is only open on Thursday.
<<You said there were few Clardys so why not find them all and track them,>>
My William T. is the first and only on the 1830 census, the earliest Clardy
to IL. I'm working without my notes here, but second is John & Benjamin
Clardy (their spelling of Clardy also varies greatly) of Green Co IL (Ann
Emmons family) John and Benjamin are also sons of Michael Clardy Jr. and thus
sisters to my Elizabeth Clarida. They appear on the 1840 Census. Also in IL
around this time is the family of Joel Clardy of SC. They settle in Pope Co
IL. Even later is the family of Drury Clardy/Clarida in Williamson Co IL.
They move to IL from Smith Co TN in 1857. Drury is originally from Halifax Co
VA. I've got more info on him on the Genforum website.
<<Look a good 10 years after his death too, sometimes deeds didn't get
recorded-and every spelling variation they have is relevant. Ultimately, you
want to find out if his land was sold by 1850, hence his family has moved
to.......>>
I've searched the land records as far as they are microfimed- into the
1920's. The family stayed in Williamson Co IL and appear on the 1860, 1870,
1880 and on censuses. There are still descendants of Wm T. Clarida in
Williamson Co IL today. Some members moved to TX, AR, OK and MO in the
1880's. I've looked at pension files and state censuses for clues, too.
<>
Nita, I still have lots of clues to follow up on (so many families, so little
time!) This Clardy/Clarida family is my primary interest, since so little had
been done on them until I started digging four years ago. I've been trying to
work through microfilmed sources since I can't take a research trip for a
while. In the meantime, I hope for a breakthrough like the one I had with
Wanda Bouchey's records of the estate lawsuit in Anderson Co TN in the
1880's. You never know what might turn up!
Joanne Clarida Shrout
Independence, MO
Hi Joanne,
Well, I am interested in your family. I have many questions and comments but will take them one at a time for now.
My suggestion to you regarding William T. is to find his land records in Williamson Co., IL, Who did he buy from originally? And especially after 1845 when he dies. Whether with or without a will, a division of the land is recorded in deeds. You said there were few Clardys so why not find them all and track them. Look a good 10 years after his death too, sometimes deeds didn't get recorded-and every spelling variation they have is relevant. Ultimately, you want to find out if his land was sold by 1850, hence his family has moved to........
Have you looked for an Estate packet for Wm.? What about tax records for 1850? Geez, I don't know where you've looked so its hard to judge what to tell you. Have you told me how long you've been digging ?
Back to you.
Nita
P.S. If anyone else is on this list besides me and Joanne, please feel free to jump in. CLARDY-L(a)rootsweb.com

<<But did you know Michael of Anderson was a Methodist preacher? And my
Benj. S. was a Methodist preacher? Isn't THAT curious?
And as for Zeno, it will be fun when it is finally learned who his father is.
Some of my Indian Clardys went to Texas too. but who didn't go to Texas in
those days!
What are your thoughts?
And who the heck was the first Clardy in Illinois? And why did they go
there-land?
What a maze.
Nita>>
Nita,
I didn't know that Michael was a Methodist preacher, hmmm. This IS a maze.
Here's my problem:
Descendants of William T. CLARIDA
Generation No. 1
1. WILLIAM T.1 CLARIDA was born 14 April 1802 in Tennessee, and died 26
November 1845 in Williamson
County, Illinois. He married ELIZABETH CLARIDA Bet. 1820 - 1825 in Middle
Tennessee, probably.
Notes for WILLIAM T. CLARIDA:
Headstone in Campbell Cemetery, Crab Orchard Twp., Williamson County, IL
reads his name as "William T. Clarday". Family tale: died of Typhoid Fever.
William T. Clarida has been found on two federal censuses in Illinois: 1830
Franklin Co. and 1840 Washington Co.The southern half of Franklin Co. became
Williamson County in 1839. The 1830 Franklin County, IL census listing on
page 109, line 13 lists William Clareda, born between 1800-1810 as head of
household with a
female born between 1800-1810, a male born between 1825-1830, a female born
between 1825-1830 and another female born between 1820-1825.
The 1840 Washington County federal census lists him as William Clarday, born
between 1790-1800, with a female born between 1800-1810. Same as 10 years
before we find a female born between 1820-1825, but not the female born
between 1825-1830. Two more females have come into this family: both born
between
1830-1835, which corresponds with Sarah A. and Vina. As in 1830, a male born
between 1825-1830 is listed (William Henry) and two boys born between
1835-1840(John and James). Based on these two censuses, the "guess" is that
William married between 1820-1825, had two daughters and a son by 1830, of
which one daughter is gone (married, deceased?) by the time the family is
enumerated
in 1840, in Washington County, IL. We do not find any other reference to the
girl born between 1820-1825 (age 15-20 in 1840). The family came back to
(now) Williamson County before 1845, when William T.Clarday died and was
buried in Campbell Cemetery.
Very few Clarida/Clardy families are in Illinois during this time, and only
one William is enumerated. The family is not on the Illinois census in 1850;
however, reportedly the 1850 Census taker missed some families in Crab
Orchard Township.
Notes for ELIZABETH CLARIDA:
Buried as Elizabeth Clarada in Campbell Cemetery, Williamson County, IL. AKA
"Betsy",
Children of WILLIAM CLARIDA and ELIZABETH CLARIDA are:
i. WILLIAM HENRY2 CLARIDA, b. January 1830, Smith County, Tennessee; d.

November 1876 in Williamson
County, Illinois. He married (1) NANCY J. PARKS 12 November 1857 in
Williamson County, Illinois. He married (2) JULIA ANN FERRELL 10 October
1874 in Williamson County, Illinois.
Notes for JAMES CLARIDA:
Place of birth is subject to dispute; census shows the family in Illinois in
1830, the same year Wm. Henry was born, but several family members born
during the 1830's claim to be born in Smith County, Tennessee. Did their
mother, Elizabeth,
go "home" to have her children?
James died in a coal mine accident: coroner's report says he died as a result
of coming in contact with a live trolly wire at Peabody Coal Mine, Williamson
County , Illinois.
James is buried in Turner Cemetery, also known as Old Coal Bank Springs
Cemetery, Williamson Co. IL. Served in the Civil War, Union.
