Nancy Baker was born on the 5 of January 1824 in White County, Tennessee. She died in December 1849 in Missouri City, Fort Bend Texas. She married Hall Medlin on the 8th of Sept 1840 in Platte County, Missouri. Hall Medlin was the son of Lewis Medlin & Rachel Smith. He was born the 7th of Oct 1806 in Pendleton District, South Carolina and died the 11th of October in Burnett, Texas.
Notes for Hall Medlin - He was the son of Captain Lewis Medlin and Rachel Smith. His parents moved to Fairfield District of Rutherford County, Tennessee when Hall was age two. His father was a Lieutenant in the State Militia. In March 1812, he was elected Captain. With several more relatives, they then lived on Sinking Creek, Bedford County, Tennessee. The district was called Captain Medlin's District. In 1821 or 1822, they moved to Marion County, Alabama and on to Cole County, Missouri in early 1832. This area, later known as Moniteau County, was where his Uncle Robert and Mary (Smith) Medlin had moved in 1820's from Bedford County, Tennessee. Robert Medlin's widow and children came to Texas in 1847 from Moniteau County, Missouri and reportedly, Hall went back to lead the wagon train to join their kin.
Hall's wife Lucinda, died in January 1842 in Platte County, Missouri. He and family are enumerated in Platte 1840 cenus near her parents, Issac and Sarah Eads. Hall had four small childern when he married his seond wife, Nancy Baker, daughter of Larkin Baker and Rosanah Hembree.
By the first day of April 1844, Hall Medlin and his family, his mother Rachel Medlin, brother Owen Medlin, three of his sisters and heir husbands, James Gibson, James P. and John Halford, his wife's father Larkin Baker and his sons with about ten other families made the dangerous trip into Texas. They arrived at White Rock and Peter's colony in late June 1844. As they had built no cabins, we have no proof of where they lived. John Halliford built a store about about a mile north of the later counties of Dallas N.W. and Tarrant's N.E. corners. Tarrant was not organized until 1850. There is much evidence that the county lines were not established between Tarrant and Denton County 1853. Evidently some believed Denton Creek above the later Grapevine was the line.
The Lonesome Dove Church minutes prove Hall Medlin lived near enought the later Grapevine in February 1846 to be elected church clerk and served regularly into October 1847.
The first person to have major surgery in present Tarrant County was Hall Medlin. He was hunting buffalo near Blue Mound when a buffalo charged his horse. Medlin was thrown to the ground, and the buffalo almost disemboweled him.
Hall Medlin requested his letter from Lonesome Dove Church in November 1849. His wife Nancy was dead. He married in January 1850 in Travis County to Catherine Bradford. They left Travis County, Texas in time to make the nine month trek to California in time to be enumberated in the 1860 cencus for San Bernardino County. He returned to Texas after his son, Jarret Medlin, died during the war between the states. Jarret's family, with some of the Bradfords, left Hays County, Texas April 15, 1868, in a wagon led by Hall Medlin.
Note: In the story told by Kate "Malone" Medlin, widow of Jarret Medlin, she talks about the Captain of the wagon train and the Captains family who is traveling with Kate Medlin's Wagon Train.
Hall Medlin's childern numbered twelve by three wives. He had four childern with his first wife Lucinda Eads. one with his second wife Nancy Baker and seven children with his third wife Catherine Bradford.
Nancy Baker had one child with Hall Medlin, Lewis Larkin Medlin born 1846 in Denton County, Texas. He died on the 10th of November 1917 in Hansford County, Texas
(Notes)- The Mortality Schedule- listed fever of the brain as the cause of her death. Nancy was the Mother of only one child- Lewis Larkin Medlin, she was 25 years old when she died. Lewis never married and died at the age of 71, he owned land in Hansford County, they found oil on his property, when he died he left his estate to his half brothers & sisters.
