TROUBLE IN THE TENNESSEE COLONY.
The Fairfield Pioneer, of the 9th inst., has the following:-- Mr. Teague, a
printer in our office, has just arrived from Tennessee Colony, Anderson
County, and brings the news that he witnessed the hanging of two white men
in that place on Sunday, the 5th inst., who were proven to be guilty of
inciting insurrection among the slaves of that neighborhood. Their names
were Anthony Wyrick, and his cousin, Alford Cab’e. They were engaged near
the colony at their trades of wagon-making and blacksmithing, where they
have been living for three or four years. Wyrick had been previously taken
up for harboring and selling liquor to negros. Negroes were found in the
possession of ___?__ and strychnine, furnished by these men.
This still doesn’t assure us whether Alford’s name is actually Coble or
where they were from although this was in the 1860 census…..
Bethel, Anderson Co., TX (3 & 4 September 1860)
1117 1119 Anthony Wyrick, 26, Wagon Maker --- 400, Tenn
Alfred Cable, 23 (Wagon Maker) , Tenn
Note: “Hung as Abolitionist” after each man

Sited information is from the Jefferson (Texas) Herald, Aug 17, 1860
I have no idea who these men were, but apparently they were hung in 1860
“We learn from the Palestine Advocate that two white men, named Wyrick and
Cabelle, were recently hunt at Tennessee Colony, in Anderson County, for
being connected with the late insurrectionary movement.”

Subject: [SPAM] RE: Anthony Wyrick
Diana,
Thank you for replying to my query. The 1860 Anderson County, TX census has
both men, Anthony Wyrick (born circa 1834) and Alfred Cable (born circa
1837), listed in Tennessee Colony, TX. Also, on the same census they are
listed as hung as abolitionists. I am currently trying to put together an
article on the story/paranoia surrounding their deaths. The site of this
incident is not far from here where I teach history. In 1860, following
John Brown’s infamous raid, slave owner’s feared a possible insurrection and
became suspicious of any outsiders and interrogated their slaves. In this
case, Wyrick and Cable/Coble had arrived in the extreme northeastern part of
Anderson County, Texas sometime around 1857 and worked as wagon makers.
According to period accounts, they were said to have sold liquor to slaves
and harbored runaways. When a slave of Thomas Y. Barron, a resident of
Henderson County (across the county line), “gave up” Wyrick and Coble all
were arrested and executed following a kangaroo court. Similar horrible
incidents also occurred simultaneously in North and East Texas shortly
before the 1860 election of Abe Lincoln.
I contacted you since I believe the two men to be related to you and in the
hope that you may know some biographical tidbits on them. Practically
nothing of their character can be gleaned from existing sources since even
those written many years later still are biased. Some sources say the men
were from Mississippi and others state Tennessee.
Thank you again for your response,

Dear Sir:
I am researching the circumstances surrounding the death Anthony Wyrick and
his cousin Alfred Coble in September 1860. I am a historian at Trinity
Valley Community College just north of Anderson County, TX where both men
were killed. If you have any information on these two men please e-mail me
if this mesage finds you.
Sincerely,
