|---|---|
| Research Note | Samuel Houston Maloney was listed in the 1850 census for Denton Co., TX with his family John and Lucinda Whittington Maloney, his sisters with their two slaves.
Samuel was born March 6, 1850 in Denton Co., TX He married Martha Jane Tate daughter of William and Elizabeth Young Tate and granddaughter of Hood and Elizabeth Tate who lived on Kings Prairie, Barry Co., MO. They were married in Newton Co., Missouri in 1869 according to the Maloney Family Bible. Sam and Martha Jane appear in the 1870 Census for Barry Co., MO; Capps Creek TWP taken on Aug 6, 1870 and they were living with Henry Whittington who was Samuel's uncle. Maloney Family Bible: Samuel Houston Maloney married Martha Jane Tate in 1869. Martha Jane Tate Maloney was born July 31, 1850. Samuel's Sisters: Margery Ann Maloney born June 14, 1842 Catharine Maloney born Feb 27, 1844 Julia Ann Maloney born June 13, 1846 Samuel born Mar 6, 1850 Sarah Maloney born Dec 1, 1852 The Whittingtons and the Maloneys ran a mill on Roaring River near Eagle Rock, MO. The mill site is now covered with the lake except during dry weather. Then a few pieces of cement can be seen. The old milldam is still across Roaring River. There is a map of the layout of the mill, millrace, and millpond in a 1909 Atlas. It is said that Sam Houston was "easy going" and didn't push the boys. Martha Jane was more strict. Ruben had worked all night at the mill. He was sleeping in when Martha Jane came to wake him up. He told her he wasn't working that day. They said she rolled him up in a sheet and took a belt to him. Probably it not so much that he wouldn't get up but it was the way he answered her. He said he got up and went to work. Sam Houston Maloney owned a store at Eagle Rock, MO with a partner J. I. Babbitt. Sam, Ruben and Henry were all in the 1910 census in the household of Jim and Addie Maloney Garrett. Addie (Lucinda Adeline) was Sam's daughter and sister to Rubin and Henry. Fredaline Cooper Horner's book: "A Horner Legacy" page 112 has a photo of Sam Houston Maloney standing in front of the Eagle Rock Store. Fredaline indicated that Sam was a mail carrier. The photo was dated 1885. Sam and Martha's first babies Elias were born 1869 and another baby born in 1881 are buried at Bethel Cemetery, Kings Prairie near Monett, MO. Babies Annie died 1885 and John died 1885 are buried at the Munsey Cemetery near Eagle Rock, MO. So Sam and Martha moved from Kings Prairie to Eagle Rock between 1881 and 1885. Sam and Martha moved to Gans, Okla. probably in the late 1890's or early 1900's. Martha Jane died and was buried there. Martha Jane died when Henry Edward was very young probably not over 10 years old. He was born 1892 so Martha Jane probably died in the early 1900's. Sam Houston returned to Missouri. He died June 27, 1911 and is buried at the Munsey Cemetery near Eagle Rock, MO. From the couple's picture (above) Martha Jane seemed to be light complicated with light colored eyes and light brown hair. Sam seemed to be dark with very dark hair and eyes. He may have been what is called "Black Irish". Long ago in Ireland, Spanish invaders landed and some of them stayed. These descendants were known as "Black Irish".
