Eighth Generation
(Continued)

7508. Mary J. Singleton Field ¹ (Henry Field , Martha Winfield Harper , Elizabeth Winfield Scott , William Scott , Sarah Pegram , Daniel , George ) was born ^{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} in 1849 in Canton, Madison Co., Mississippi. She died in 1923. She was buried in Calvert Cemetery, Robertson Co., Texas.

A summary of her DAR papers is as follows:

Daughter of Henry Field (1814-56) and Mary Jane Bates (1814-95), his wife, m. 1835. Granddaughter of Thomas Field (d. 1828) and Martha Winfield Harper, his 2nd wife. Gr-granddaughter of Joseph Wells Harper and Elizabeth Winfield Scott, his wife. Gr-gr-granddaughter of William Scott and Ann Mason (d. 1802), his wife. William Scott (1747-91) served as lieutenant and captain, Virginia troops, during the Revolution. He was born and died in Petersburg, Va.

The 1900 Census gives her birth date as May 1854 but she is found on the 1850 Census. The 1900 Census also is in error regarding her place of birth which is shown as Georgia.

Mary married ^{2, 3} Judge William Garland Taliaferro ¹ son of Dr. Garland Taliaferro and Rebecca Bowen about 1873 in Texas. William was born ^{4, 5, 6, 7} in Mar 1849 in Virginia. He died in 1927 in Calvert, Robertson Co., Texas. William had a will probated on 16 Feb 1928 in Robertson Co., Texas.

The 1900 Census shows the couple have been married for 27 years. They have had 2 children, both living in the home. William Taliaferro, Sr. was a District Judge in Bryan, Brazos Co., Texas. In 1920, the family were living in Beaumont, Jefferson Co., Texas.

Tombstone gives birth date of Nov. 13, 1848 and place of birth as Tennessee. This conflicts with all the Census records we have examined.

They had the following children:

	14510	M	i	Dr. William F. Taliaferro 1 was born 2, 3 in Apr 1881 in Texas.
				William married Elizabeth Cavett. Elizabeth was born in Saratoga, Texas.
	14511	M	ii	Herbert (Henry) G. Taliaferro 1 was born 2, 3, 4 in 1883 in Texas. He died 5 before 1911 in Texas. The book recites that he was "killed in Texas" but does not say when or how. In 1910, he was age 26, living at home and working as an oil producer. The Pilcher book, published in 1911, simply says he was "killed in Texas."
				Herbert married Molly Buckley.

7509. Frances Juliette Crutchfield (Elizabeth Ann Field , Martha Winfield Harper , Elizabeth Winfield Scott , William Scott , Sarah Pegram , Daniel , George ) was born ^{1, 2, 3} on 26 Feb 1835 in Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas. She died ⁴ in 1900.

1900 Census gives bd as Feb 1837.

Frances married ¹ Napoleon Bonapart Burrows on 19 Jul 1853 in Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas. Napoleon was born ^{2, 3, 4} in 1818 in Bedford County, Tennessee. He died ⁵ on 23 May 1880 in Alma, Crawford County, Arkansas.

Napoleon Bonaparte Burrow was born in 1818 in Bedford County, Tennessee, the son of Banks Mitchum and Mary (Blanchard) Burrow. His father was a farmer in Bedford and Carroll counties. Entering Nashville University in 1836, the young Burrow graduated from the law department in 1839 and commenced a legal career. He settled in Huntingdon in Carroll County, and practiced law there until the outbreak of the Mexican War. A second lieutenant of the 2nd Tennessee Volunteers, Burrow fought with great distinction in Scott's assault on Mexico City. After the war he settled in Arkansas, first in Jefferson County and later near Van Buren. In both places he practiced law and was a substantial planter and slaveholder. Burrow was also active politically as a state senator from Jefferson County from 1851 to 1855, a Buchanan elector in 1856, and a delegate to both 1860 Democratic conventions. By January, 1860, Burrow was a general in command of a brigade of Arkansas militia.

A prominent secessionist, Burrow was the candidate of the ultra-secessionist "Hindman" faction to the First Confederate Senate. When Arkansas seceded, Burrow and his militia brigade (3rd Brigade, First Division) took over Fort Smith, Arkansas, from the federal garrison. His command was so criticized - one influential editor called his conduct there "extravagant and... pompously unmilitary" - that he was relieved after two weeks. The Arkansas Military Board later appointed Burrow a brigadier general and sent him to Springfield, Missouri, after the Battle of Wilson's Creek, to transfer the Arkansas militia there to regular Confederate command. The militiamen, encouraged by their commander, Brigadier General N. B. Pearce, refused to transfer, and Burrow's mission ended a fiasco. Burrow spent the rest of the war raising crops for the army. Despite his ill-fated last command, Arkansas politicians retained confidence in Burrow's abilities and recommended to President Davis that he be appointed a Confederate general, a recommendation that Davis, beset by numerous petitions of a like nature, never acted upon.
After the war Burrow resumed his farming and legal careers in Van Buren. In the latter he gained great notoriety, one contemporary stating that "as a criminal lawyer ... in the state, he stood at the head of his profession." General Burrow died of pneumonia at Alma in Crawford County, Arkansas, on May 23, 1880, while returning to Van Buren from a legal case. He is buried in the Alma City Cemetery.
