From Travels in Old Georgia County
by Wm H Davidson Vol. III (of 4) Page 9 (1988).
The McBryde family setteled
in Talbot Co in 1832 and stagecoach passengers rested at McBryde's stop years
before Geneva was a town. The house is in the 16th Land Dist, Geneva GMD 889,
on the east side of US Highway 80, about five and one half miles south of Talbottom.
It is opposite the intersection of Copagee Road (correctly, Koockogey Rd) with
the highway, on a considerable embankment. Across the highway from the front
of the house, at the side of Koockogey Rd., many of the McBrydes are buried
in their family cemetery. Head stone for Robert McBryde gives birth and death
dates with the inscription "Erected to the memory of an indulgent husband and
father by his wife and children" Taken from History of Hope Hull Hammock. "Hope
Hull Hammock of Geneva, built a cotton warehouse. Several thousand bales of
the cotton were stored there at the beginning of the Civil War. During the great
fire of 24 Mar 1865 in Geneva the only store left standing was the Warehouse
of W. R. Moore and H.H Hammock's which was down in the "bottom" and escaped
the fire. Thousands of Bales of cotton burned for days and all the other warehouses
were lost. However, on 16 Apr. 1865 the Union took over and spared, for some
reason,W. R. Moore's store, but they torched H.H.Hammock's Warehouse and cotton.
Data from 1850 GA census-He and his family lived next door to Lewis
McBRYDE-McBRIDE at that time. Prop. value $5,600. Marriage listed in Book A
Talbot Co GA. Geneva neared the end of antebellum development when the McBryde
House was built in 1859.
John T McBryde lived there in 1860, when he was
41, a planter with $2,500 of real estate and $5,025 of personal estate. His
wife, Gracey E McBryde, was 35. They were born in GA. It was the home of the
John T McBryde family for more than 90 years.""Torn down several years ago,
the McBryde house site is on School House Rd, adjoining the Cook-Ligon-Hildreth
homeplace on the north and east.
McBryde plantation lands attrached to the
house lot were several hundred acres as late as 1930.
East of the Bennett
House, McBryde lands were reached by an old plantation road. Along the road
were several cabins, some former slave quarters. Easter Howard, cook for about
30 years at the McBryde house, lived on one of them. A cabin in the back yard
of the McBryde home was the dwelling of "Old Aunt Nan'" a former slave and family
servant, until her death."
Taken from a bottle of OBAN label, a single
malt West Highland Malt from Argyll Scotland. "The coastland of the gaelic people
known as "Earra Gael" fell to the dreaded Viking overlordship in the middle
of the eight cenury when their rule was at its harshest. It was then that the
warrior King Somerled Mac Gillibride became foremost in Oban history. Part Viking,
part Celt, he rallied his repressed and despairing countrymen leading them towards
a new and lasting freedom from their oppressors. His spirit is said to live
upon the precipitous crag of Dun Ollaigh which for centuries has been the descendants
of his son and heir Dougall mac Tomhairlie the founder of the great CLAN MACDOUGALL"
Explanation of meaning--nothing except Mac Gillibride is early use of McBride
in Scotland which came from Ireland. (TJM) 12 Nov 1850
Robert McBryde
was a private in the Company of drafted men commanded by Capt William Butler
in the Regiment commanded by Daniel Newnan when discharged in the War known
as the War with the Indians in 1812, that he substituted for Mordecai Jacobs
and was mustered into service at Camp Hope Jones Co Ga 1 Aug 1812 for 6 months &
was discharged at Fort Hawkins Ga 1 Feb 1813.

this date, Talbot Co. Robert H. McBryde-Served as a substitute for John Mullins
in the Company of drafted men under Capt William Huckaby, in the Regiment commanded
by Col. Ezekiel Wimberly. H substituted and was mustered into service near Fort
Hawkins Ga on or about 1 Sept 1814 for the term of 6 months. He was discharged
at Darien GA on or about 1 March 1815.
Robert H. McBryde applied for
Bounty Land 12 Nov 1850. Age 53, living Talbot Co. Hi application #WO 40506.
Rebecca Hammack McBryde filed for pension & bounty land 7 Oct 1880
at Geneva, Talbot Co Ga. Her application #WC32631. Witnesses were Mack McFarland,
age 71 and William McCrary, age 63, who swore they had known her for 63 years
and 40 years respectively. At that time, the widow was 81 yrs old, they were
married in Jones Co 15 May 1817 by Green Watley,JP, that Robert H. McBryde had
died in Talbot Co 4 July 1860 and they had lived in Ga all the time, & in
Talbot Co principally.
Also appearing as witnessses of Robert H. McBryde's
service in Huckabee's command, were Robert McFarland, aged 21, living in Talbot
Co, and Stephen O. M. McBryde, aged 21, of Talbot Co, testifying that "they
each had lived in the same community with her every since they could (recollect?)
Dated 11 May 1882. It looks as though Robert received Lot #4 Sept 25, 1851,
allowed 160 acres. Warrant 10612 issued (? Mark) Nov 1 sent to George N Forbes,
Talbotton Ga 1 vol 53, pg 53. F. Posey, apparently as Rebecca 's lawyer,
wrote a letter Dec 17, 1881, headed Greeneville, Ala., indicating Rebecca
's pension application and the fact that her decd husband HAD NOT received obtained
a land warrant for his service. Papers show photocopy of postcard sent A. F.
Posey, Esquire Fort Valley, Ga no date shown It is possible that this A. F.
Posey is related to Rebecca. Remember, her sister Mary married Lemuel Posey
sometime or the other, & Mary was apparently decd by 1850.

My gg-grandfather ROBERT H. MCBRYDE (MCBRIDE)
had two service hitches in war of 1812. Can or would anyone please tell me where
go to get data on his enlistment. In both cases it appears the he was a substitute
for someone else. The following are the details: 1. Robert H. McBryde (McBride)
was mustered into service at Camp Hope, Jones Co., GA, 1 Aug 1812, for 6 montha
as a private in Company of drafted men commanded by Capt. William Butler. Robert
was discharged at Fort Hawkins, GA 1 Feb 1813. Robert is reported to have been
a substitute for Mordecai Jacobs for this service. 2. Robert H McBryde (McBride)
again served as a substitute for John Mullins in the Company of drafted men
under Capt. William Huckaby, in the Regiment commanded by Col. Ezekiel Wimberly.
Robert substituted and was mustered into Fort Hawkins GA on or about 1 Sep 1814
for six months. He was discharged at Darien GA about 1 Mar 1815. Robert H. McBryde
was b 11 Feb 1797 and m Rebecca M. Hammock in Jones Co. GA in 1817. Thus all
of the periods of service was before his marriage. Therefore, there is a small
hope there might be a record of his next of kin in some of his service records.
Thank you. Tom Thomas J. McBryde

antebellum development when the McBryde House was built in 1859. John T McBryde
lived there in 1860, when he was 41, a planter with $2,500 of real estate and
$5,025 of personal estate. His wife, Gracey E McBryde, was 35. They were born
in GA. It was the home of the John T McBryde family for more than 90 years."
"Torn down several years ago, the McBryde house site is on School House Rd,
adjoining the Cook-Ligon-Hildreth homeplace on the north and east. McBryde plantation
lands attrached to the house lot were several hundred acres as late as 1930.
East of the Bennett House, McBryde lands were reached by an old plantation road.
Along the road were several cabins, some former slave quarters. Easter Howard,
cook for about 30 years at the McBryde house, lived on one of them. A cabin
in the back yard of the McBryde home was the dwelling of "Old Aunt Nan'" a former
slave and family servant, until her death. In 1853,J. B. McCrary & John

"Deaths and Burials in the Columbus GA Enquirer, 1832-1872 pg 174: Goolsby,
Mr (40-45) stabbed; had been in a fight with Mansfield McBride; Frank McBride
was a witness (15 June 1886)" Data furnished by Mrs John H Woodall-P O Box 97-Woodland
GA 31836. This could be Mancel because the McBryde spelling was in transition
at this time from McBride. Mancel's father spelled his name McBride at times.
The Frank McBride could be Mancel's son Franklin N. McBryde. Per Talbot Co.,
GA court records. Mancel was made guardian of Gracy Barnes, orphan of John J
Barnes on 23 Jan 1857.
As a matter of interest almost all of Mancel's
brothers and sisters were named after names carried down through the Hammock
lines. Mancell name comes from the Hammack and Middleton marriages in VA and
on back to England. The Middletons intermarried with the Mansells in England,
and brought the name to America with their children. (TJM) From the Texas Historical

McBRYDE CEMETERY (Historical Marker) Mancel T McBryde (1821-1896) who
brought his family here from Georgia in the early 1860's began this family cemetery
in 1885 upon the death of his wife, Jane W Gore McBryde (1826-1885). A Farmer
and Rancher, McBryde selected a site south of his family's home on which to
bury his wife. The McBrydes had eight children, four of whom married into the
Hoover Family. McBryde and Hoover descendants are also interred here. The burials
facing east. The oldest McBryde family graves are enclosed in stone. The McBryde
cemetery is maintained by descendants. And is located about 9.3 miles south
of Killeen TX on highway 195. At Ding Dong Community DING DONG, TEXAS. Ding
Dong is on the Lampasas River eight miles south of Killeen in southwestern Bell
County. In 1979 it had a church and several scattered dwellings, and in 1990
it had a population of twenty-two. Mark Odintz From Texas Handbook. The old
Mancel T McBryde home (still standing -1996) and ranch is currently known as
the C. W Duncan Ranch. The home is reported to be visable from the Cemetery.
(TJM) MAXDALE, TEXAS (Historical Marker) "Maxdale is located about 13 miles
southwest of Killeen, along the Lampasas River, where several creeks join and
flow into the Lampasas River. The first family in the community was that of
Mancel Theodore McBryde, who came from Georgia and settled in the valley about
1861. The community, about 10 miles long and 3 miles to 4 miles wide, stretched
along both sides of the river between two ridges. Much of the land which became
the Maxdale community was part of a grant to Charles K Resse for his service
in the Texas War for Independence. During the early days, the community was
called Pleasant Grove because of the groves of live oak trees, but when Frank
McBryde, Sr. applied for a post office for the community the name Pleasant Grove
was already being used. The Postal Authorities changed the name to Mc's Dale,
after the McBrydes, but with the opening of the post office, the name was changed
to Maxdale. The Maxdale Post Office was opened with the appointment of John
T Hunt of 20 June 1883. By postal records, Maxdale is one year younger than
Killeen. Maxdale Post Office was discontinued on 30 June 1926, with the mail
going to Killeen. Maxdale is largely a memory today, although the population
has been increasing in recent years." Another Historical Marker in locate at
10th St, Killeen TX at the Squire McBryde's home. This is a Sesquicentennial
Marker. !Ransom McBride caught me on a mistake as to place of birth of Mancel
Theodore B McBryde. "Mancel was born 7 July 1821, but not in Talbot Co. GA.
Talbot Co was not formed until December 1827 from Muscogee Co. Muscogee Co was
created in June 1825 from Indian lands. Mancel's father was in Jones Co GA in
1820 and received land in Early Co GA in the 1820 Georgia Land Lottery. Mancel's
father was on the move, so its difficult to say where he was when Mancel was
born". But the best guess is in GA. (TJM)

HISTORY OF McBRYDE CEMETERY by POLLY PEAKS ELMORE,
11 September 1988
Mansel T. and Jane W. Goar McBryde were married 8 September
1844. They came to Texas from Georgia with their children. Who were: Thomas
J. McBryde married Fanny Gray; Franklin N. McBryde married Mary Hoover; Mary
E. McBryde married J. P. Hoover; Adaline E. McBryde married John W. Hoover;
Josephine McBryde married W. E. Bruce; Artea McBryde, died at birth (4 October
1858); Robert H. McBryde married Paralee Story; and Jane W. McBryde married
Yancy Hoover. On the 1st day of February 1875, Mansel T. McBryde paid the sum
of One thousand American gold dollars to J. G. Hunt for 320 acreas on the Lampasas
River. They settled on this land and engaged in stock farming and land investments.
Squire McBryde, as he was know to his peers, acquired this title because of
the vast land holdings. Squire Mancel T. McBryde from Killeen or West Bell County
was the peer to Joseph Dennis (Bell County or Temple). M. T. McBryde has only
recently been written about and recorded in West Bell County History; whereas,
Joseph Dennis was noted years ago for being the Chairman of the Committee who
cut Bell County out of the tract of Milam County. To show the family ties of
the McBryde's and Dennis families: Mancel T. McBryde - Joseph Dennis Josephine
McBryde Bruce - Sarah T. (Sally) Dennis Elmore Adaline Elizabeth Bruce married
James Thomas Elmore; bring their families together with the 3d generation. The
McBryde family brought to Texas with them one male slave. They were one of only
a few families in Bell County who brought with them a slave from the old Southern
States. The Slave that the McBrydes brought to Texas with them died and they
buried him in an unmarked grave. Not in the McBryde Cemetery. Gra'Delle Duncan
shared with me (Polly Elmore) that there were several unmarked graves to the
South line, just outside of fence, and they were those of a slave and several
horse thieves. The McBryde Cemetery is the site that M. T. McBryde selected
to bury his wife, Jane Goar McBryde, when she died on 31 August 1885. This is
the first interment into the McBryde Cemetery. It was a common practice in the
1800s when a family member died to select a plot on the land they lived and
owned to bury their love ones and start a family cemetery. Squire McBryde died
in his home which overlooks the cemetery. Mancel T. McBryde is buried by the
side of his wife. Since that date there have been 11 additional interments of
family members and descendants. The name McBRYDE CEMETERY and the designation
of 1/2 HALF ACRE for the size of the cemetery is recorded in the legal deed
and located in Bell County Court House. When there is a grave and headstone,
then the plot of land automatically belongs to the State of Texas. No family
or family member owns the Cemetery because of the Public Law of Texas. Because
of funding, the State of Texas depends on family members or interested parties
to keep the Cemetery in good repair. No descendant has the right to be buried
in the McBryde Cemetery without the expressed approval from Judge Duncan and
his sister Gra'Dell Duncan. I would like to express thanks and appreciation
to Gra'Delle and Judge Duncan for permitting me to apply for a Texas Historical
Marker for this Cemetery. Thanks to Sally Walden, Gra'Delle Duncan, Ruth Elizabeth
Caffey, Vera Hays, and Zelma Rhoades for being my Co-Sponsors for helping me
pay for this Marker.

LEGEND OF BURIED GOLD COINS AT MCBRYDE'S CROSSING LIVES
ON
The legend of a pot of gold coins at the McBryde's Crossing on the Lampasas
River has led to much digging in the river bank over the years. Tales of the
buried Spanish explorer Gen. Francisco Vazques de Coronado passed through the
Bell County area in 1540s and others followed according to "The Story of Bell
County Texas." At McBryde's Crossing, the story goes a man walked across the
low-water Crossing, then sat on the pot of gold to pt his boots back on. History
does not asy who found it or how many coins it contained. A lot of people have
dug around the river bottom looking for gold in 1920s and earlier, but I don't
think they ever found anything. says Elizabeth Bigham, who grew up nearby, They
have dug all up and down the Lampasas River. McBryde's Crossing has been the
site of other treasures and trials, like its Ding Dong Fame in "Rippley's Believe
It or Not" The river crossing was named after Mancel Theodore McBryde (1821-1896),
who brought his wife Jane, and family from GA in 1861. They settled in the area
between Youngsport and Maxdale (then called Pleasant Grove). When applying for
a post office in 1880s, another town had the Pleasant Grove name, so application
was made for Mac's Dale" in honor of McBryde. The post office was opened in
1883 and the name was changed to Maxdale according to "The Story of Bell County,
TX" The original McBryde rock house is the oldest existing structure in the
county, according to a pamplet published by the Bell Co. TX Museum. It is on
private land, but visible from State Highway 195. From the Texas Historical
