(From Hal Prestridge-2005)
The time frame about 1810 to 1820 does seem like the time the families
split apart. The last dated record I can find for Larkin Prestirdge
and Alcy Campbell is the one you listed in Feb 1810. Here is how they
moved westward:
In the 1810 census Larkin appears in Amite County, MS (State and
Territorial Census).
1815 Larkin appears in the Tax Records of Lawrence County MS
1816 Larkin and family appear in Census of Monroe County MS territory
1819 Larkin has land in Old Cahaba
1820 Larkin and family appear in the Dallas County, AL census
1822 Larkin buys land in Pickens County, AL
1823 Larkin buys more land in Pickens County, AL
1830 Larkin and family appear in the Census of Pickens County
1833 Larkin appears on Tax records Winston Co., MS
1835 Larkin appears on Tax records Winston Co., MS
1837 Larkin sells land to brother Josiah in Winston Co., MS
1838 Larkin appears in Choctaw Co. MS census
1840 Larkin appears in Choctaw Co MS census
1841 Larkin appears in Tax records of Choctaw Co. MS
1842 Larkin sells land to A. Peebles in Choctaw County
1848 Larkins probate case indicates this is the time he moved to Texas
1850 Larkin appears in Cherokee Co. TX.
1858 - Aug 10 - Larkin dies and his will is contested. Will finally
settled in 1863
Larkin's Will:
Larkin in his will of 1851 discussed Polly,"...with the exception of one negro woman named Polly and all of the house hold furnigutre which I will to my beloved Wife Alcy during her life and at her death the negro woman Pollyl and her increases if any, together with the household furniture I will shall be sold and the procedes of the same be equally divided between my several heirs...."
Since Alcy had predeceased Larkin, Polly and her increase were sold at auction. In records filed January 1859, on the Sale of Contents of Larkin estate, Obediah purchased Polly for $500.00, Tabitha for $600.00 and Polly from $300.00. For some reason (perhaps the contesting of the will), Larkin's slaves must have had to be reauctioned. Again,Obediah purchased Polly and her two children Tabitha and Polly.
"In the sale of negro slaves of Larkin Prestridge, decd., on 1 March 1859 at the courthouse door in Rusk, Cherokee Co. Texas, the highest biddres were:
The old negro man Lewis was bid off by T. R. Chester at $400.00
The old woman Lucy was bid off by T. R. Chester $221.00
Polly a woman & her two small children Tabithat & Polly
were bid off by Obadiah Prestridge at the sum of $2,451.00
Total amount of sales $3,112.00
