-James Madison Trewhitt, born in 1816. Married Mary Ann Guffey. Mary Ann is the daughter of Henry (Hall) and Elizabeth Adams Guffey. James was a Circuit Rider, Presbyterian Preacher for 50 years in Missouri and Arkansas. He would be gone from home several weeks at a time, leaving the farm work to his wife and children. Mary Ann, his wife, was a short heavy set, woman with red hair and a temper to match. On one of his missionary trips, James acquired and brought home some cloth for a suit that one of his friends had given him. Mary Ann took the cloth and threw it in the fireplace and said, "You tell old Mrs. Haggis that I do my own weaving." Mary Ann delivered babies for mothers all over that part of the country. They had a big stump for her to climb upon so that she could get on a horse when she was called to help. It was said that Mary Ann smoked a pipe and when someone came to see her she would put the pipe in her apron pocket. All of the cooking was done over a fireplace. When I was there in 1961 I saw traces of the foundation of their home and a pile of rocks where the chimney had been. The well had been boarded over. Some old-fashioned flowers were growing close to where the house had stood. No doubt the children got little schooling during the winter months as they had to go 9 miles on horse back to school. The Forest Service now owns the land where this farm was and have planted it into trees. It would be hard now, to locate where the house had been. We know so little about the hardships, joys and sorrows of our pioneer ancestors, but they paved the way for us to enjoy the many blessings we now have. Twelve children blessed this union. A-William, B-Ethel Malinda, C-Jesse, D-Sarah A., E-Elizabeth, F-James M. Jr., G-Mary, H-Polly Ann, I-Ephebia, J-Martha, K-John, L-Benjamin. James died Feb 1888 and no doubt is buried on his farm. Mary Ann was living with her son Benjamin in Uniontown, Arkansas when she died in 1904. She is buried in the Uniontown Cemetery in an unmarked grave.
