Phillip R Goodbread & Family

Phillip R Goodbread was the son of John Goodbread and Mary Ledbetter. The latter is our direct ancestor, 5 X great-grandmother. Mary's first husband was John Bradley (our direct line) who died on 24 June 1778 in North Carolina. 36-year-old Mary was left with 4 sons below 10 years of age (Johnson, James, Isaac, and Edward), 1 girl, Polly, age 13, 3 sons age about 15/16 (George Walton, John, and Thomas) and another son, John Jr..


On 23 April 1779, Mary Ledbetter Bradley married Mr. John Goodbread (1) in Rutherford Township, Rutherford, North Carolina. The second spouse was about 11 years junior to Mary. He was born in about 1753 in Orange, NC, to Mr. Philippus Gutbrodt and his wife Mary Catherine Braun.

John and Mary's children were born:
Sarah - in abt 1780
Catherine Wharton - 1780
John Jr. - 1781
Thomas - 1782
🏠 The family lived in Rutheford, NC (2,3).

Phillip R Goodbread, born in about 1786,  was the youngest child of John and Mary's.

On 19 December 1812 (4, 4.1), Phillip married Nancy Webb, his second wife, in Burke, NC.

Phillip R. had a son by the name of Joseph, who was born in about 1809 by Phillip's first wife (whose name is unknown). Later, Phillip and Nancy's children came to this world:
  • Thomas - 1813
  • Minerva Eliza - born in abt. 1815
  • John - born in abt. 1818,
  • Nancy Mathilda - 1820
  • Sarah - 1821.
Nancy Webb Goodbread, Phillip's wife, died in 1823.
 

Phillip and children had moved to Alabama by 30 March 1830. On that day, Phillip's daughter Mary Louisa was born in Marengo, Alabama. Her mother was Mary (Polly) Hanson.

4 July 1830, Phillip married Polly (5). I do not know why the lady's surname mentioned in the marriage record is given as Goodbread. An error, or perhaps, she had been married to another Goodbread man before? 


26 January 1831 - Minerva Elisabeth, age about 16,  married Mr. Daniel Bird in Marengo, Alabama (6). Daniel was the son of Mr. Abraham Bird and Ms.  Sarah Gaines. He was about 6 years older than Miverva, and was born on 23 January 1809 in Telfair, Laurens County, Georgia.

marriage bond - Daniel Bird

marriage record - Minerva and Daniel

27-year-old Thomas married Malinda Brewer on 27 May 1833 (7). Malinda was born in Marengo, Alabama, in abt 1810, to Matthew H Brerwer and Mary Hammond.


👉 Phillip, Polly and their child came to Texas in 1834. According to the records, at first, they most likely settled in Gonzales County.

His elder children came to Texas in later years.

Nancy Mathilda was married in abt 1840 to Creed Taylor (born 10 April 1820 in Giles Town, Shelby, Tennessee), the son of Josiah Taylor and  Hephzibeth Luker.

Sarah was married in abt 1838, in NC to Martin C West, born in 1814, in Walton, Georgia.

Joseph, the eldest son of Phillip's, married Susan Johanna E Todd (born in abt 1822 in Georgia). She was the daughter of William Henry Todd, Sr. and Martha "Patsey" Holder. Joseph met his tragic end in abt. 1840 in Shelby County, TX when he was shot to death in broad daylight. At the moment of his death, Joseph was unarmed. I will come back to it in another post as his death ignited a lethal conflict due to which other family members suffered as well.

Eugene Chaddick, age 30, mentioned above, was William and his first wife's son. Eugene's wife passed away not long before the Census, between 1898 and 1900.

The record says that Ruth had nine children and seven of them was alive at the time in July 1900.
She had had three children with her first husband Ammon Cochran, only one girl, named Lillie Mae (born in 1876) survived. Lillie got married in 1894. On 6 July 1900 she had already lived with her husband Henry L Bradshaw (2).

In 1902, tragedy touched the family. William's oldest son, William T was found dead. The article contains a mistake, regarding the first letter of William Jr.'s middle name.

The police investigation continued. Some employees of The Missouri, Kentucky and Texas Railroad Company were suspected of having some connection with the tragic death of William Hewett's son. The father filed a lawsuit against the Railroad Company.

How it all ended, whether the defendants were found innocent or guilty, I do knot know. I have found no more information on the tragic case.

On 11 Dec. in the same year 1904, a much happier event took place - William Hewett Jr. married Miss Ruby Lee Gregory (3).

Somehow, during the 1910 Census only William Hewett Sr. and his wife were registered as the dwellers of their household. It seems strange as some of their children were still not married. Maybe they were not at home then?

At the beginning of 1914, Ruth's health deterorated.


At the same time, there was an Automobile Contest organized by the Whitten-Sandifer Company. The contestants were ladies of the Plano society, the stake was a Ford automobile. The contest participants did not have to do anything - it was the citizens of Plano who voted for their favorite lady and chose the winner at the same time. The end of the contest + its results were to be announced on 24 December.

Ruth Chaddick took part in the competition as well. At first, I though it was William Hewett's daughter, but next, looking through the old newpspers, I noticed that the same Ruth Chaddick played to win a Ford also years later, when Ruth the younger, could have possibly been married. Anyway, it seems it was an annual contest. I cannot tell you who won the 1914 edition as I did not find the name of the lucky lady in the newspapers printed in December.

About a year later, William Hewett's heart failed. He had heart surgery and died from mitral disease on 10 March 1920. William H. was buried at the Plano Cemetery on the next day.


As for Ruth and the children of William Hewett Sr.'s;


Earl F Chaddick, the second son of Ruth and William's, was a farmer. He lived with his wife Lillie at R#7, Box 103 in Forth Worth. He was medium height and medium built, his eyes were blue and his hair was light. (5) Earl died from TB which he had suffered from for two years and six months. (6)


Clyde Chaddick, the third son of Ruth and William Hewett's was 5 feet 3 inches tall, he had black hair and brown eyes. He must have married after 1917. On 6 June 1917,  the day of his WW1 draft registration, he was still single. At that time Clyde worked as an automobile dealer at the Chaddick Parlore Inc. in Corpus Cristi, TX.  (7)

During WW1, he served in CMC Repair Shop 304 at Fort Sam, Houston, Texas. Clyde Chaddick was appointed Private 1 class on 31 July 1918, and later was promoted to Sergeant (on 24 Sept. 1918). When the war ended, Clyde was honorably discharged on 11 Jan. 1919, during demobilization. (8)
Years later, the man married Rosina Ledbetter. Their first child Mary Lou was born in 1930. (9) The family of Clyde's lived at 523 W. Elsmere, San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. The house, built in 1923, still exists. Clyde worked for Lincoln national Life Insurance Co. as an insurance agent. (10)
He died at the age of 55, on 21 August 1943, due to hypertnesion and coronary occlusion. (11)


Ruth Brent, the oldest daughter of Ruth and William's, worked as a private duty practical nurse. Her husband John Beaty passed in 1959 (12). At the end of her life, Ruth lived in a nursing home in Denton where she died due to cardiovascular disease on 22 Oct. 1976. (13)


Ora Thompson, Ruth's younger sister, lived with her husband in Plano. She passed away at the age of 70, on 15 November 1965. (14)

I have not found much info on Ruth and William's fourth son Mark Chaddick. He was born 20 Feb. 1898 and he helped his father run the farm. The WW1 registration record also says that Mark was short, medium built, had brown eyes and dark hair. (15)


Kruger L Chaddick was the youngest son of Ruth and William's. He worked as a wire maker at Texas Wire & Cable Company. Kruger's first wife Lennie died from TB on 27 Nov. 1927 (16). The man remarried two years later on the day 8 June. His second wife was Lillian Largent Mallow (17). Kruger Chaddick passed at the age of 61 in his home which was at 800 15th Street in Plano. On 31 Jan. 1962 his heart stopped (18).


Ruth Chaddick, the second wife of William Hewett's died before WW2 started, on 1 July 1939 (19).

Children from William's first marriage


William T was a saddler. He probably married Miss Rebecca Bumpass on 19 November 1887.

Not much is known about Eugene Chaddick, William T's younger brother. Maybe he remarried ? Anyway, in 1900, he lived in Justice Precinct 5, between Dallas/McKinney Rd. and Muddy Creek in Collin County Texas (20). Ten years later, he lived with his 12-year-old son Vergennes in Nocona, Montague, Texas (21).


Lily Forman, Eugene's younger sister, lived not far from her brother (in 1900). Together with her husband Clint and son Ray, they dwelled two houses away from the house of Eugene's. Lilly and Clint's home was recorded during the Census as house #359, Eugene's place was #361(22). Lily outlived her husband who died in 1918 (23). She left this world years later in Lamar, TX on 9 Dec. 1944 (24).


Sallie Elizabeth Taylor was two years younger than Lily. I can only tell you about her that in 1900 she lived with her husband T C Taylor and four children in Justice Precinct 5 (west Plano) (25). Ten years later, the couple had two sons more and they had already moved to Justice Precinct 2 in San Saba, Texas (26).


It seems that in 1900, the siblings lived close two each other. Genoa lived with her husband at his mother's house which was also in Justice P. #5 in Plano (27). Meroney Forman was a dairy farmer. Probably, Genoa and Meroney had no children. Genoa's spouse passed in 1945 due to cardiac failure (28). She died five years later, on 14 Sept. 1949, from liver damage (cirrhosis) (29).
