The most propitious time for collecting the
materials for history is s soon after tne happen-
ing of the events chronicled as possible, ~nd while
the actors who shaped them are still upon the scene
of action.
The first generation of the pioneers of Tampa
has almost entirely passed away; a few only of
those who belong to it still linger, though now "in
the sere and yellow leaf" awaiting the last blast
of time that will loosen their frail hold upon the
branch of the living tree.
before they are all gathered to their fathers
their :iepiorica of event, and their recollections
of family nistories should be carefully collected
and preserved in permanent form for the information
of tho.e who come after theme-.
appreci.ating these :,onsid.*rations the compil-
ers of thia worKi hive cersonaliy consulted the sur-
vivors of the eurlior days and their immediate de,
scindants, examining f;.ivily records and public ar-
chivos where available, and in that way preparing
complete and connected accounts of the families
whoso Penealogies are herein traced.
"uch care has been exercised ind great pains
taeon to secure absolute accuracy in the family
histories recorded hero, as in some instances,
the infirmitie of human memory have led into er-
ror, others have been concLltcd who have been fa-
miliar with the isae facts ana tho different narra-
tives have been nade, if possible tnat minor mis-
takes .mal nave orept in. ,here thi.. is found to be
true, we crave the ina :;lFnoe of critic in view of
the peculiar difficulties of the task that we have,
essayed.
Ihe work th.,t foll6ws does not pretend to be a
connected history of ampa; that will be written,
perhaps, hereafter. ihis is out a collection of
the genealogical records of the families that found-
ed the city and of somo others who followed in their
footsteps and aided in the advancement of the work
that the earlier ones commenoe*. .;e.flatter our-
selveo, however, that we will in this compilation
have contributed to the collection of materials ou
of which will be made the future history of Tampa*

Later 4Villiam 3-. Henderson engagod in differ-
ent business enterprises, in all of which he a-
chiovod success. He formed a copartnership with
Captain John Millor, -under the style of Miller &
Henderson. The firm conducted the largest whole-
sale and retail grocery business in the southern
half of the state. It-also owned a number of
steamships and sailing vessels that plied the Gulf
waters, and in those days furnished almost the only
moans. enjoyed by the people of Tampa and of this
section of the state of communication with the out-
side world.
Other business enterprises with which dilliam
3. Henderson was connected wore the Tampa Commer-
Sial Jompany, the Tampa Harness and Nagon Company,
the beckwith & Henderson real estate agency, after-
vards conduct ted under the name of Beckwith, Hender-
son & warren, the Henry Giddons clothing company ,
and several other flourishing concerns.
It was a conspicuous peculiarity of all of
Mr. Henderson's business concerns that, although he
was the real head and the responsible financial
backer of most of them, his name never appeared in
the chief place, as the senior partner or head of
the business.
He was au prominent in the 0ooial and politi-
cal lifo of the community as in it3 financial af-
fairs. Though he might have easily attained prom-
inent position in the political affairs of the
state, he always declined and devoted his activities
in that line to local and county matters,.the only
state office that he ever hold being that of member
of the state board of health, and its first presi-
dent. He was several times a member and chairman
of the board of county commissioners of Hillsborough
County, in which position his financial ability was
largely instrumental in promoting the prosperity
and upbuilding the material fortunes of this sec-
tion.
He was also prominent in church affairs, being
for many years a steward and a liberal contributor
tothb' finances of the First Methodist Ohuroh, of
which he died a member. He was chairman of the
building commi-ttee that supervised the erection of

SGEPNALOGICAL RECORDS
THE JOHN JACKSON FAMILY
John Jackson, the founder of this family in Tampa, and
in America, was the son of Hugh and Ann (Corcoran) Jackson, of
- Ballybag, County Monaghan, Ireland, where their son John was
born. His parents never came to America. They had another
son, Thomas, who also inigrated to America. He was accidental-
ly drowned on the Manatee River while on a fishing trip. He
was unmarried.
John Jackson arrived in America in 1841, and settled
first in the City of New Orleans, where he became an assistant
civil engineer. Later he went to live on the Manatee river
near where the town of Palmetto now stands. He entered from
the government a large tract of land in that neighborhood in
1843. He took up his residence in Tampa in August, 1847.
Mr. Jackson, being a skilled civil engineer and a land
surveyor, was entensively employed by the United States govern-
ment in surveying government lands in Florida, from his first
residence hee, and for manyyears after. His official super-
ior in that work was Colonel Butler, of the corps of engineers
of the United States Army. It was in honor of this officer
:that Lake Butler, now in Pinellas County, bIbtformerly in Hills-
Iborough, was named. It is probable that another Lake Butler
situated in Bradford County, in the northeastern part of the
state, received its name in the same way.
St. -Augustine was the headquarters of the surveyor gen-'
eral's office at this time, and on the occasion of a visit upon
official business by Mr. Jackson, he met there Miss Ellle Naher,
to whom he was introduced by Colonel Butler. This lady he maf-
ried on the 22nd of July, 1847.
Mrs. Jackson was the daughter of Robert and Catherine
,(Qigley) abher, of Killenaule, County Tipperary, Ireland, whe$r
she was born. Mrs. Jackson had a brother and a sister who came
to Tampa. The brother, Edward, afterwards removed to Key West.
The sister, Kate, died unmarried.
In the same year, 1847, the county seat of Hillsborougb
County was established at Tampa, and the national g verment
donated to the county one hundred and sixty acres of land lydip
north of and adjoinig the military post of Fort Brooke for a
county seat. '
John Jackson was n ployedt ay to l his off and in the sapne

on the west. In 1850, Mr. Jackson made a second survey,
* which took in a tract on the east side of the former survey,
extending from the line mentioned as running through the tier
of blocks between Morgan and Pierce streets eastward to East
Street. In 1853 a third survey was made, taking in the tract
extending from the northern boundary of the first survey to
a line that crosses Franklin street at the intersection of
Harrison street.
In the last mentioned year (1853) Mr. Jackson made a
map embodying the three surveys that he had laid out. This
map was, and is still, known as "the general map of the city
of Tampa made by John Jackson, surveyor, in the year 1853."
'It has been ever since the basis of all descriptions contain-
ed in deeds conveying any portion of the original area of the
city.
Mr. Jackson, during the years that he actively follow-
ed the business of a land surveyor, fulfilled many contracts
for the United States government for surveying the national
domain in Florida, and his. labors covered much .of the terri-
tory of the state, especially in this southern portion. He
surveyed a great deal of the Miami country and other sections
on the East Coast.
His activity in this line brought him frequently into
contact with the Indians, who' were naturally distrustful of,
his work in running lines through what they deemed their do-
main; but his uniform kindness to them and his consideration.
of their feelings as far as permitted by his duties gained
him their personal good will.
Mr. Jackson selected the names for the streets marked
out for the future city, callingthe majority of them for the
presidents 'of the United States, though a number of them,su6h
as Lafayette, Cass, Morgan, Marion, Twiggs, etc., bear the
names of other distinguished men
In 1849 John Jackson engaged in the general nmrchantile
business near the corner of Tampa and Washington streets, and
he continued this business successfully until his death, in'
1887. *
During the many years of his residence' in this city no
Sman, either among the pioneers or the later comers, occupied,
a more prominent position of esteem, respect and considera- ?
tion among his fellow-eitizens than did John Jackson.. Mrs.
Jackson survived her husband for nineteen years, dying Jan-~'
Uary 30, 1906 .

Mri Warner was a native of New York State; his wife was
born in Kendallville, Indiana. They came to Tampa in 1875, and
settled north of the city on the line of what is now known as
Nebraska avenue It was Mr. Warner who gave to this thorough-
fare its present name. He entered a homestead in this neiih-
borhood and engaged in orange growing on a large scale. Mr.
and Mrs. Warner resided here until their deaths, that of the
former occurring in 1896 and his wife passing away at the age
of fifty-seven years. They were the parents of two daughters,

Dr. John Alexander.. He graduated with distinguished honor
from the United States Naval Academy, but afterwards resigned
and studied medicine. In this profession he attained a higi
position almost at once. He practised for several years in
Tampa, and then removed to New York City, where he speedily
attained a flattering prominence in the professional ranks.
He is now an instructor of clinics in Columbia University, be-
sides enjoying a iarge and lucrative private practice. He
married Mary Garvan, of Hartford, Conn. They have two child-
ren, Elizabeth, Garran.and John Alexander, Jr.
The sagacity and business judgment of John Jackson led
him at an early day to invest in real estate, that time and
the development and growth of the city of which he was one of
the founders have made very valuable, and his descendants have
profited by his foresight. They have also by their judicious
management greatly added to the value of their ancestor's
early investments.
John and Ellen (Maher) Jackson were both devout Catholics,
and it was he who was instrumental in having a Catholic priest
stationed in Tampa. This priest came from Savannah, Ga. and
one of the children of John and Ellen (Maher) Jackson was the
first to be baptized in Tampa by a Catholic priest. Mr. Jack-
son, therefore, can be considered as the pioneer of the Cath-
olic Church in Tampa. He was always one of its most liberal
supporters. A marble memorial altar was erected in the mag-
nificent Catholic Church a few years ago in memory of him and
his wife.

GENEALOGICAL RECORDS
THE SPARKMAN FAMILY
This family sprang originally from old English stock.
There were three brothers who came to America from England,
prior to the Revolutionary War. Settling in South and Norti
Carolina, their descendants are scattered all over the Unit d
States. The pioneer of the family in Florida, Stephen Spar -
man, was a native of North Carolina, born in 1782, who came
from Southeast Georgia to Florida in 1824, being the first
white settler on the site of what was afterwards called "Ai-
gator," but later acquired the more euphonious designation f
Lake City, and has been from its organization the county seot
of Columbia County. Stephen Sparkman lived there for the re-
mainder of his life and died there.
He married Keightly. They had six children ; namely,
(1) Louis S.
(2) Ann, who married John Niblack.
(3) Nathaniel K. (See below.)
(4) Harriet, who married William Niblack.
(5) Elijah Byrd. (See below.)
(6) Stephen, who married Miss Henderson.
Nathaniel K. Sparkman was born in Georgia, and married
Mary Cason, a native of that state. They became the parent
of eight children, only four of whom grew to maturity. Their
names were as follows:
(a) Stephen M. (See below.)
(b) Mary, who married John Niblack.
(c) E. Byrd, who married Mattie Moody.
(d) Sarah, who married John W. Hawkins.
Hon. Stephen M. Sparkman was born in Hernando County,
Florida, July 29, 1849. He married in Polk County, Florida
Ellen Hooker, daughter of John I. and Cuthbert (Lanier) Hookr.
(See Hooker family.) They have had nine children, the first
of whom was born in Fort Meade, the others 'in Tampa.
(1) E. Lamar, who married Daisy N. Smith. One child,
Ellen Lavinia.
(2) Mary C., who married Edward H. Hart.
(3) Julia, who married Charles E. Ball, of Tampa. The
have two children, Geraldine and Sparkman.

of Jonathan J. and Alice (Parker) Knight. (See Knight fami ).

(7) Curtis Lamar, unmarried.
....
OF THE SPARKMAN FAMILY
(8) Frances Eugenia, unmarried.
(9) Nathaniel Keightley, unmarried.
Stephen M. Sparkman presents in his life another of th
many instances that have occurred in American history of pub
lic men rising to distinction from the farm. He was born on a
farm in Hernando County and remained there, assisting in the
homely tasks incident to agricultural life, until he was eight-
een years of age. He was educated in the common schools of \
South Florida, at the last in Tampa, where after leaving school
he entered the law office of Hon. Henry Laurens Mitchell, after-
jwards governor and justice of the supreme court of Florida, as
Sa student. He was admitted to the bar in Tampa in October, 1872.
ISuccess in his profession and distinction in political life
came to him soon, and honors followed each other thick and fast.
He was appointed state's attorney for the Sixth judicial
circuit in 1878, and he held the position until 1887. He wa?
a member of the Democratic congressional executive committee Ifor
the first district of Florida from 1890 to 1894, being chairman
for the first two years; he was a member and chairman of the
state Democ-atic executive committee from 1872 to 1896; he was
elected to represent the First district in the Fifty-fourth con-
gress, and has been re-elected to every congress since, inclid-
ing the Sixty-fourth, without exception, and it is probable
that his tenure of this office will have no limit save his odn
refusal to stand for re-election.
Stephen M. Sparkman is a strong man-not only politically
and as a candidate before the people, in committee and upon the
floor of congress, but also at the bar of the courts in the
practice of the profession to which he,has devoted his best
years. His long service in congress, his consequent intimate
acquaintance with the problems of national affairs brought about
not only by experience, but by the immense grasp of his intel-
lect, have made him one of the most valuable members of the
national law-making body to the country at large and especially
to the district that has so often honored him by re-election.
The state of Florida, the First congressional district and thi
city of Tampa owe him a deep debt of gratitude for the innume
able and inestimable services he has performed in their beha.
Elijah Byrd Sparkman came to Florida with his parents
1824, at the age of five years, as he was born in 1819. .hen
he was twenty-six years old, in 18451 he came to Hillsborough
County and made his home in the neighborhood where he passed
the remainder of his days, a short distance north of the present
station of Dover on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. He eng g-
ed in farming and stock raising, and was so successful that hI
accumulated a comfortable fortune. He died in 1903.

ida mounted volunteers. He married Sarah Mizell. They had

page 60.)
Simeon E. Sparkman was born in Hillsborough County Aug-
ust 9, 1851. He attended school'in his native county and al
so in Thomasville, Georgia. Later he attended Eastman Busi-
ness College at Poughkeepsie, New York, returning to South
Florida, where he taught school for several terms, and later
settled withinn a few miles of Plant City, following farming,
and ten years afterward moved to Plant City, whare he has
lived ever since.
He was tax assessor of Hillsborough County in 1881-2;
county commissioner, 1883-4; represented Hillsborough County
in the state legislature at the session of 1891; was again
elected tax assessor in 1907, which office he at present hol s.

during what may be termed the pioneer days, but that which is
the subject of this sketch has be6n here the longest. In fXct,

Robert Jacwson, who was the founder of the Jackson family
in Tampa, came .ierc in the capacity of a hospital steward, ,r
interne, with the United States troops Earrisoning Fort Brooke,

consisting of five ons and three daughters. The sons are evli

THE COLLAR FAlILY
In a number of the genealogical records contained in
this volume reference has been made to the Coller family.
The name is now extinct, there having been but one son, who
left no issue. The daughters, who were numerous, married in-
to some of the most prominent old families and have many de-
scendants with different surnames. The Coller family was the
very first in point of time that settled in Tampa or th vicin-
ity, and it is fitting that the family history should be per-
petuated.
Levi Coller, the head of the family, 1raso of dLingled
English a.nd German ancestry. H~e was born in .Massachusetts
and came frao that state to Florida, arriving in St. -ugus-
tine in 1812. Hii wife, Nancy Dixon, was of english and French
lineage. Her father was the omner of large tracts of land in
Florida under grants from the crown of Spain. The hoIe of the
Dixon firmily was at Rosemary 3luff, on -e St. Mary's River.
Levi and Nancy (Dixon) Coller wer: arrivedd in 1813.
Florida in t:iose days ,aRs in the riddst cf war, and in 1315
hostilities became very bitter. The Indians "iere allies of
Spain, which power was contesting it rigtso with the United
States, while Zngland was at the same time endeavoring to the'
utmost to prevent the expansion of the young republic, and was
rewarding the savage warriors by paying thmn from five to ten
dollars apiece for :imerican scalps. A veritable reign of ter-
ror prevailed. The white qet-lers fled from their homes under
much protection as a body of icn1ie guards, of which Levi Coller
was one, could afford.
While thus fleeing for thoir lives the young -dffe of
Levi 'Joller was overtaken by travail =t -; deqIs td house by
the -way, and. the babe .ras born that afternoon, 'hen she at-
tained womanhood, became the ".'ife of
that Nancy Jackson 'whose life almost spanned a century.
Yor a few years previous to the restoration of peace
'and after:ard s, the Goller family resided in Ulachua County
un to 1822. THere, in ccmnon :-ith other pioneers, most of whom
had been imporvished by the war, the needs of an increasing
family necessitated close oconoi- iand application to such
:measures of industry as ',ere open to them.
Levi toller raised and, ginned cotton, his wife and chil-
dren spun and dyed it; it was then sent to the loom and woven,
into cloth, which they then made into garments for the family;
Mrs. Coller's health failing, her husband decided to go
to Tampa, hoping that she would be benefited by the salt water
of the Gulf. He reached Tampa in 1823 on horseback, with
saddlebags filled with things that he would need on.his

GENEALOGICAL RECORDS
TH3 COUR FAMILY [
On this, his first, visit to Tampa Levi Coller 'was
accompanied by two of his brothers-in-law, Dixon and Ellis
by name, all being accustomed to locating claims by blazing
the trees.
In 1824, on his second trip, he was accompanied by
Mr. Dixon, his brother-in-law, a Mr. Simpons and one Henry
Troutman. On his arrival, coming to the place they had se-
lected for a homestead, they fund that a man of the name
of Kackley, and also CenQral Brooke, had made claim, and as
General Brooke rushed to establish a government post on the
land, and was already on the ground, and owing to the con-
fusion of the claims of the government and Hackley, Ir.
Coller and his friends located other lands in the vicinity,
at a place just across the river on what was called Jackson's
Point, at the mouth of the Hillsborough river, which tract
embraced a large portion of what is now Hyde Park. This
land tias beautifully situated, having on the south Hillsborough
bay and on the east the river of the same nare and extending
up that stream nearly to -.here the Lafayette street bridge
has been built.
About 1829 Levi Coller moved his family and his stock
to what is now known as "Craft's spring," on Six t'ile creek,
then known as "Coller's creek," and when he built ais house
where the residence of Dr. '. C. Richardson now stands, on
the Boulevard beyond Hyde 2ark, he opened up quite 3 con-
sijertble fa r m wherr.e h cultivated the first cotton planted
in South Florida, ahich vwa usec for hoie maanufacture and
consumption. H{er Lovi Coller lived until the Indians burned
him out, his family escaping almost miraculously and taking
refuge at the fort at Tampa and on board of government trans-
ports. Of course in the meantime his stock was driven away
by the indians, and it was only by means of the arrangements
that he : ade with the United States Government that he gained,
subsistence for his family, he being familiar with the char-
Sacter of the Indians, being thus valuable to the government
forces in keeping them informed as to the mwhercabouts and
the doings of the savages. His services in locating the
Indians were rewarded by affording him and his family sub-
sistencea and quarters at a time when it was impossible to
maintain his own home or to cultivate his farm.
-It was while living at the fort that Robert Tackson
met NTancy Coller who efterw-ards became his wife. (See
Jackson family).

THE GIVENS FAMILY
JO1N GIVN was born on a farm in Abbeville district (now
county), South Carolina, September 15, 1815. He first saw
Florida as a volunteer soldier in the United States service
in the Seminole Indian war, which coimenced in 1835.
He was a member of the mounted regiment commanded by
Colonel Childs. This regiment came by sea to St. Augustine,
and thence marched overland to Tampa Bay, as it was then
called, on which Fort Brooke, the government post, vMas sit-
uated. The old fort and the camping place of Childs' South
Carolinians are now covered by the streets and squares of
the busy modern city of Tampa. After the expiration of the
term for which the regiment had been enlisted, thich was
six months, its members wore disbanded and returned home.
In the same year that he retrn.od from Florida, in
1836, John Given was ia-ried to "3. b C. WaLker, then but
fifteen years of age, he bin: .im seli' but t*:eonty-one.
Seven years after, in 1843, 3 o moved with his family,
for there had been born to them in the meantime, in the old
home, three sons, to Madison County, Florida. There they
remained five years, during which time two other children,
both daughters, were born.
About the time of his removal to Florida, or just bo-
fore, John Given commenced writing his surname with a final
s, and this has been kept up by all of his descendants to
the present time. He also, thinking, perhaps, that his sig-
nature would look more symrmtrical, adopted an extra letter
and wroto it "John T. Givens."
The family reached Tampa on Christmas day, 1848, just
after the famous storm known in the annals of those times
as "the gale of 1848." Lany houses in the then rising vil-
lage were destroyed by the storm, and there was much work
to be done in rebuilding the old and erecting new houses
for the settlers that were then beginning to come in in large
number, and 2 r. Givens engaged in the business of an archi-
tect and builder, which he followed as his principal line
of activity during all of the remainder of his stirring life.
In those days one man had to fill sometimes more than
one place in the community life. In this way, and especial-
ly as there was no one engaged regularly in the business of
an undertaker in Tampa, and as people in the course of na-
ture really did occasionally die even in the salubrious oli-
mate, Mr. Givens, as a "side line," combined undertaking
with his other business.
John T. and Nancy C. Givens were among the original
GEcBALOGICAL RECORDS
members of the Methodist Church in Tampa, the first house
of worship erected by that denomination being built by himI
on the corner directly opposite his residence, the church
standing on the northeast, and his residence on the south-t
east, corner of Morgan and Lafayette streets. The "Castle
Hall" of the Knights of Pythias at present occupies the site
of the old home.
2Ur. Givons was active in all phases of coznunity life, -
taking a lively interest in political matters and in all
things that concerned the public welfare. He was county
treasurer of Hillsborough County for a term, served as coun-
ty commissioner for two terms, was a member of the county
board of public instruction also for two terms. Ho erected
the first public school building 'in the city of Tampa. It
stood u;on a lot that he had himself owned and had sold to
the county board for the purpose of a school site. It stood
where the "Sparkman block"' nov is, on Franklin street. As
illustrating -th Dnhanc3ami-nt in value of real estate since
that timo, it :ay be mentioned that Aho price he received
s 400 whiwas 40, hi waS considered at .That time a f'air valua-
tion.
Twelve children were born to John T. and Iancy C.
(Walker) Givens, of whom but four at present (1915) survive.
There' were ssven sons and five daughters. In the order of
their birth they were Robert Henry, Thomas :'ilkes, John lasp-
er, Jane Florid., Franceso lizaboth, LAarion, Mary Louisa,
Ariana Eliza, W'arren Addison, Darwin Branch, Clara Virginia,
Franklin Leonidas.
(1) Robert Henry died aged nineteen unmarried.
(2) Thomas Wilkeo had attained manhood just as the War
Between the States opened. He enlisted at once and served;
throughout the struggle in the Confederate airy. He was
first a member of the second Florida infantry, which was the
first /command from this state to be ordered to Virginia.
He went with it, and saw the most strenuous service in all,
of the campaigns in which the regiment participated from
the Seven Days to Gettysburg, where he -was taken prisoner
and sent to the officers' prison at Johnson's Island, in
Lake Erie.
After the battle of Sharpsburg Thomas Wilkes Givens
was transferred from the Second to the Eighth Florida regia
Sent and promoted to the position of second lieutenant.
was wounded at Gettysburg, taken prisoner and carried to
j Johnsoans Island, where he remained until the end of the
war, when he returned to Florida.

James Edward Hondry died in 1851, in his forty-third
year. He was a very quiet, sedate man; he seldom laughed,
but indicated his pleasure by a pleasant smile. He was re-
tiring in his habits; his words were few, but well-ohosen.
Ho never sought or held public office. His doors were al-
ways open to the traveler, especially to the minister of
the gospel, and no one was ever turned away hungry or. epty-
handed. He encountered many reverses in early life by stand-
ing security for others, yet he accumulated a fair amount
OF TIE HIENDRY FAMILY
of property.
James Edward Hendry was the progenitor in florida of
the Hendry family. He was a native of Georgia and died in
that state after making his home in Florida, being on a vis-
it to Thomasville, Georgia,'at the time of his last ill-
ness.
Francis Asbury, the son of James Edward Hendry, was
born in Thomas County, Georgia, November 19, 1833, and came
to Florida with his parents in 1851. He drove an ox-team
the entire distance, and they became pioneers of illsbo-
rough County, the mother county of South Florida. After
the death of his father Francis Asbury Hondry settled the
fonrer's estate and comnonced business on his own account
as a farmer and cattle raiser. Ho made his home in the east-
orn part of Hillsborough County in the early days before
it was 3urv,3yod, and when that w~s done he, being familiar
with the country, pro-ompted large treats of land near Fort
LIeade, now in Polk County, but at that tine constituting
a part of iillsborouh. Hie was one of the prime movers in
the organization of Polk County.
During the Indian war of 1856-57 '.r. Hendry was an
active member of one of the military companies that were
raised among tl~e settlers for tho protection of this fron-
tier region from'the depredations of the savages. He was
also a soldier of the War Between the States, in which he
served at first in the commissary department of the mili-
tary division of South Carolina, CGeorgia and Florida, and
afterwards, eighteen months before the close of the war,
he raised a cavalry company in Polk County, and became its
captain. This company was attached to Major uinnerlyn's
independent battalion, with which Captain Hendry served un-
til the command was surrendered at Tampa at the end of the
war,
After the war he resumed his former business of farm-
ing and cattle raising at his home, at Fort Meade, which
remained his headquarters until 1869, when he removed all
of his stock to the south side of the aaloosahatchee river
for the sake of the superior range of that section. He made
his home at Fort Myers, then in Monroe County, but now the
county seat of Lee, in the following year, 1870. Captain
Hendry became the earliest settler of the new town, which
had been a military post in the Indian war times, but had
then been for some time abandoned.
For a long time he was the largest individual cat-
tl-owner in Florida, and was one of the originators of the
Cuban cattle trade from the ports of Ylorida, the principal
OF TI HEIEDRY F'FMILY
of which was Punta Rassa. In 1891 he commenced closing out
his general stock business, retaining only a small number
with which he established a stock farm, where he experiment-
ed in the raising of fancy and improved stock. He intro-
duced the Jersey stock in that section, and one of the most
interesting experiments was the crossing of that famous breed
with the native stock.
During his long and active career Francis Asbury Hen-
dry held many positions of honor and trust in the different
counties in which he resided. He was a member of one of the
first boards of county commissioners of Hillsborough County,
filling that important office in the 50's.
During the reconstruction period that followed the war,
although the state was under the absolute control of the car-
petbaggers and their allies, the district of which Polk Coun-
ty was a part, elected him to the state senate, there being
very few white republicans or negroes in this region and al-
most the entire voting population consisting of southerners
and Democrats, though many of these -ere disfranchised.
While he was a resident of l.onroe County he was sena-
tor from the 2tventy-fourth district, then composed of the
counties of Monroe and Manatee. After the division of Mon-
roe County and the formation of Lee out of the mainland por-
tion, he occupied the position of county commissioner of the
new county, and in 1893 was elected to the legislature from
that county, a position he retained for several terms. He
has been mayor of the town of Fort Myers and a member of the
town council. At this writing (1915) Captain Hendry and his
family are still in Fort Myers.
On March 20, 1852, in Hillsborough County, Francis
Asbury Hendry was married to Adeline Lanier, a native of
Florida, born May 10, 1835. They have had four sons and four
daughters to grow to maturity; namely,
(1) James Edward, who was born in Polk County in its
early history, but removed to Lee County when still in his
teens. He has lived in Fort Myers ever since. He was brought
up with limited educational advantages, but grew to manhood
well versed in the raising of stock, buying and selling of
beef cattle, etc., and became very successful in that line
of business. He has been conspicuous in his advocacy of the
cause of temperance, the maintenance of good morals and the
high standard of Lee County politics.
(1) James Edward Hendry was born January 12, 1854, and
on June 17, 1875, was married to Julia Frierson, the daugh-

in the embryo city. His place of business was for most of
the time on the southwest corner of Washington and Marion
streets. Mr. Clarke was highly successful in his business
and accumulated a large fortune which he, with greater sa-
gacity than many men cf his day, invested in .ell-selected
real estate, which afterwards becoming greatly enhanced in
value, added immeasurably to his wealth. A onro other hold-
ings he owned all of that tract in the central portion of
the city extending from Harrison street on the south to Con-
stant on the north and from Florida avenue to the river.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarke had but one child, a daughter named
Flossie, who became the wife of Andrew J. Knight,, a nephew
of Governor Henry L. Mitchell. Mr. and Mrs. Knight have
had a large family, there being three sons and five daugh-
ters. The sons are Edward A. Clarke, who married Volina
Mitchell of Georgia, -sli, who married Vida Claire Curry,
'of LManatee County, and Jules, who is still unmarried. The
daughters are Vida Claire, who married G. W. Judy, who came
to Tampa from Kentucky, Uliel, who died in childhood, Al-
dine, who married Dr. J. C. Vinson, one of the most prom-
'inent physicians of the city, Flossie and Sarah who are at
this writing both unmarried.
Edward A. Clarke was always from the time of his com-
ing to Tampa until the day of his death, which occurred in
1887, a foremost citizen in all movements that tended to
the upbuilding of the city of his residence and the commmn-
ity in general. Ho was a leading member of the Methodist
Church, being a steward and trustee for many years, as well
as superintendent of the sunday school. He was one of Tam-
pa's most highly respected citizens and died universally
regretted and sincerely mourned.
His son-in-law and business successor, Andrew J. i
Knight, is the worthy follower in the footsteps of this ex-
'emplary citizen. His name will be indissolubly connected
in the history of Tampa with the great enterprise of harbor

THE K EDY FA2~ILY
TIIOAS PUGHi ?:-iiD', born Thomas Kennady Pugh, in Phila-
delphia, December 12, 1812, was the son of Samuel Kennedy
'Pugh and Jane Penrose, of the English houses of Tresse, Pen-
'rose, Kennedy and Pugh, as shown in the old Bible contain-
ing the family records of eight generations.
Coming to St. Augustine, Florida, in 1828, at the age
of sixteen years, Thomas reversed his aanes of Pugh and Ken-
nedy, taking the latter as his surname.
He spent the next twelve years in various parts of
Florida, finally locating in Tampa in 1840, whore hs .married
Adelaide Christy; she came here in 1837 with her uncle, Ma-
jor Fraser, viho was in command of the United States garri-
son, Fort Brooke. lr. Kennedy establiUhed the first trad-
ing post here with the InLdians, also one at Charlotte Har-
bor. He was on tha friendliest -orns with the Indians; he
was liberal and just with them, and they held him in high
esteem. Billy Bowlegs, the old Seminole chief, particularly
admired him, and was often entertained by ILr. Kennedy and
his wife as an honored guest. Before Billy Bowlegs was sent
to the Indian reservation he presented Mr. Kennedy with a
handsome silver medal, which had been given him by President
Van Buren at the signing of the peace treaty with the Semi-
noles. This medal is still in the possession of the Kennedy
family. Mr. Kennedy's business took him frequently to Cen-'
tral and South America and Mexico. On one of these trips,
during the Mexican war, while running the blockade with sup-
plies for the American troops, ho was captured by the Mexi-
cans and held prisoner for many month's; the story of his
escape is interesting and romantic.
He was a charter member of the Masonic lodge here,
and his son, Thomas Pugh Kennedy, second, and grandsons have
also been prominent in the order.
Mdr. Kennedy became one of the wealthiest and most ho0-
ored men in South Florida; more than 375,000 of his fortune
was given to the support of the Confederate Government. HO
gave assistance in business life to several young men who
later acquired fortunes or became prominent citizens of Tam-
pa, among them being the late William B. Henderson, who fre-
quently spoke with pride of his friendship.
At the time of his death, in 1858, r. Kennedy was an
extensive property holder throughout the state, particular-
ly in Tampa and Hillaborough County. The first entry in j
the clerk's office of Hillsborough County was a deed from I
E. T. Kendrick and wife to Thomas P. enanedy, recorded Marth
Of the Pioneers of Tampa
3, 1846.. The old Kennedy home on Washington, Tampa and W4-
ter streets was a landmark in Tampa until recent years.
The children of Thomas Pugh and Adelaide (Christy)
Kennedy were Jano; Thomas Pugh, second; and Henry P. Jane
was a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Musi: aid
soprano of Dudley Buck's choir, Trinity Church, New York
City. After the war she re-established, and was in charge
of, the iusic department of Wesleyan Female College, Macoi,
Georgia, and was later a leader in the musical life of Tam-
pa. It vas to her that her music teacher, Mr. Butterfield,
dedicated his song, "When You and I '.-ere Young, Maggie."
She married J. '.. Crichton. She died in 1890, leaving no
children.
Thomas Pugh, second, graduated in 1870 from Washing-i
ton Colleoi, Lexington, Virginia, now Washington and Lee
University, while General Robert w. Lee was president of
the institution. Ho returned to T'pa and engaged in the
mercantile business, which had been loft by his father ih
the guardianship of John Darling and ienry Proseus.
Thomns Pugh Kennedy, second, married Ida J. Cathcart,
of Ocala, and their first home was on the site now occupied
by the First Tational Bank building. "The Heigats" was the
name given by r. Kennedy to his grove and home on the hill,
and the name has since been used to designate that section'
of the city. He took prominent part in the affairs of their
community, and was chairman of the Board of Public Instruc-
tion at the time of his death. Ho was admitted to the bar
with bright prospects, but was cut down by death in 1886,
at the age cf thirty-six years, leaving a widow and seven
children.
Henry P. Kennedy was at one time editor of The Gulf
Coast Progress, one of Tampa's pioneer newspapers. He died
in 1882, unmarried, aged twenty-five years.
The only descendants of the pioneer Kennedy are the ;
children and grandchildren of Thomas Pugh, second, and Ida
(Cathcart) Kennedy, and are:
(1) John D. Kennedy, who died in Mexico in 1906, un-
married.
(2) Josephine, who married Samuel 3. Moore.

TiH HONOR FAIRLY
TH name of Iooker has been a prominent one from the pio-

ities--iamiilton, Hillsborough, Manatee, Polk and DeSoto.
The founder of the family in Florida was '::illiam Brin-
ton Hooker, -7h0o tas born in '.;are County, Georgia, on Lh3
border of F'lorida, in 1S07. In his early manhood he removed
to this state, making his first home at -hite Springs, on
the Suwanneo river, in 1l32. Ho took a prominent. position
in social, business -and political life from the beginning
of his residence in Florida. lie prerosented 'l:milton Coun-

.c remove from .'imnilton to 2:ilsborough County in 1843 and
-settles in the section knovnm since as "Si:.i.ons' ainmock,"
one of the most fertile localities in the county.
Upon his coming to South Florida ;r. Hooker engaged
in the busiioess of cautle-raiing, a-d 0 soon becario one of th
largest stock o-nrers in all this region. '.hen, after many
:years, he decided to retire from tda active business he sold
'his stock to Captain J..;os ;Mciay, sr., 9'ho ras then heavily
engaged in shipping cattle to Cuba, for tho large sLum of
$60,000.
S He has an excellent claim to be considered the pio-
,neer in orange culture in Florida, as he planted the first
seeds, at least in this section, from which were produced
the sweet oranges that have madse Florida f.~aous.
'lilliam 3. iooder was a i pioneer" in many lines; he
was a man of such individuality and strong convictions,
possessing in an eminent degree the power of initiative.
He was the first good roads booster in I!illsborough, the
county that has followed his example and h:is talkn the lead
of the state in the construction of improved highways. He
laid out and cleared the first road from the central part
Sof Hillsborough County to the .Ian tee river, near the pre-
!sent toen of Parrish. He settled a place in this vicinity,
'where he lived for about tu;o years. Mlr. Hooker was the large
est slave owner of that time in this portion of the_state.
In 1860, just before the commencement of the .ar Be-
tween the States, he left Manatee County ani took up his
residence in Tampa, building what -.as then, an- for many

Grove Hotel," from the fact that ir. Hooker had planted ma
orange trees in the grounds aiid that after the family ceased
to reside thare the building was used s a hotel.
This old building has in its time been put to many va-
rying uses, being at present occupied as an office building
of the Tampa Northern railroad. Probably the first man in
-this part of the state to employ a private teacher for his
children was William B. Hooker.
The n:ae cf Hooker is locally prominent in many local-
ities in South Florida. It has been perpetuated in the name
of the peninsula upon :which the terminals of the Tampa North
ern railroad are situated, and in :.ore than one of these
southern counties there is a "Hooker prairie."
