I found this mention of Mat Click at the Gen Web site for Lamar Co., TX.
"HISTORY OF LAMAR CO."
July 24, 1843, the record says court met at Mount Vernon, transacted no
business and met again in October with the same result. The last recorded
meeting is January 22, 1844. No court house was built at Mount Vernon in the
year that court was held there. Mat Click had a tavern there, and it is
probable that during the winter, court was held in his house. In summer it
was held out of doors under the shade of a large bois d'arc tree that was
standing until not many years ago [written 1937]. About where the Click
tavern stood is now a tenant house and the old stone-curbed well from which
water was drawn for the tavern and the court and travelers who stopped there
on the way to southern Texas is still in use. The court tree was on the
slightly higher ground north of the house and here is another marker erected
by the Texas Centennial Commission to commemorate Mount Vernon. It is on what
used to be the road from Paris to Cooper, about half a mile west of Highway
24, and about five miles from Paris.

Names of those now living are indicated by a star. If there are
others living we were unable to learn their names.
Nearly fifty-two years have passed since the first roll call when the
brave boys composing the above roster, with light hearts and bouyand
spirits, bade farewell to home and loved ones, and set out on their journey
for Virginia to do service for their country.
The names printed herewith were written on the back of a chimney of
what is known as the Hawthorn place, now owned and occupied by W. B. Heaton.
Nestling in a beautiful grove of great oaks stands this stately old mansion.
It was erected only a few years before the breaking out of the war by John
D. Carey, one of the prominent and influential citizens of the day, and for
these many years has been the object of admiration of all who has ever
beheld it. It is one of the most picturesque spots to be found in all the
country. The house has wide verandas and spacious halls and rooms, and has
been the scene of many a social function at which very many who have now
passed the meridian of life were honored guests. At the south end of the
building is a large chimney which was plastered and kalsomined when built.
On this smooth white surface is registered the names of those who composed
the Conecuh Guards when they started out on their journey for Virginia.
The names were written with lead pencil, and have withstood the cold and
dampness of more than fifty years and are today almost as legible as they
were the day they were placed there. They have not been defaced or
mutilated in any manner although children have been on the premises much of
the time. We are told that a few years ago a family from north of the line
that separates the North from the South lived at this place a few years
ago, and he respected those whose memory is here perpetuated sufficiently
not to permit the names to be defaced, and every family who has occupied
the home has protected it as a sacred memory.
These brave, chivalrous boys, doubtless with light hearts, little
thought of the hardships and privations they would soon be called upon to
endure. Many of them perhaps were fearful that the war would end before
they reached "the front." On that memorable April day when they were
even ready to start on the march for Virginia the wives, children, mothers,
fathers, and sweethearts gathered to bed many of them a last farewell,
giving them a last fond embrace, planting a kiss moistened with tears on
their checks, their ardor even then was probably not dampened. They went
with a cheerful determination. But after four years of struggles,
hardships, privatlens, separations from home and loved ones and all that
was sweet to contemplate around the fireside and in the home life, the
little remnant spared from shot and shell and the ravages of disease brought
on by exposure, once more return to their homes to find everything except
perhaps here and there an unbroken family or a mother or father or
sweetheart spared to them as their richest possession. Only a few whose
names are inscribed on this historic chimney were permitted to return to
their loved ones; and when the great struggle was over perhaps the same
hand that inscribed the names on this tablet, penned these sad lines beside
them for future generations to read and ponder and profit by. There is a
tone of sorrow, sadness, and regret in them that the writer must have keenly
felt when he wrote them. Here they are:
"May 1, 1865. All but few of those here registered have been
slain in battle or died of disease. The war is ended and the
world is now no better than before. If these penciled lines
should outlive the one who traces them, let those who read them
know that my advice is go not to war until the burdens of
Government or grievances complained of become of a certainty
greater than the evil of war and blood-----J.D.C."
It would be fitting and appropriate that a reunion for the survivors
who formed this company be held in the grove at the Heaton home to celebrate
the fifty-second anniversary of the organization of this noted company with
appropriate ceremonies. The Courant suggests that such a celebration he
head at an early date, say about the first of April next. We are sure Mr.
Heaton would gladly tender the use of his premised for this purpose.
Hello all,
I am looking for the Ancestors of Elizabeth CLEEK who married Ephraim K.
TANNER May 24, 1843 in Boone Co. KY. I believe she was born in 1824. A
John J. Cleek was mentioned in the Marriage record. I would appreciate
any leads or information.
Thanks
A. Wiltgen
