Also the House and plantation whereon I now live with the furniture and plantation tools belonging thereto, horses, cattle, hogs sheep, and stock of every kind belonging to my estate at the time of my decease,
I will that they may be continued and made use of on the plantation the same as in my lifetime by my beloved wife for the support of herself and heirs of her body by me during her life or widowhood, and at her decease or marriage to revert to my estate.
I farther (sic) bequeath to my said Wife her choice of one bed an furniture, one horse saddle and bridle, to her and her heirs for ever.
I Will and empower my wife as executrix; and one or more of my executors hereafter named, or in case of the death of one or more of them, the survivor or survivors to sell and dispose of the tract of land I now live on, containing by the original plat six hundred and forty acres, Also the adjoining tract containing one hundred and fifty acres which I purchased of Stephen Nixon, and to make good and sufficient titles to any purchases should they think such sale for the benefit of my estate;
and should they not dispose of the said lands, I give and devise the same to my two sons Richard and James Mellet to be equally divided between them share and share alike,
then and in such case I will and bequeath to my daughter Margaret Mellet a Negro girl named Chloe, and to my daughter Ann Mellet a Negro girl named Abby, and their future issue and increase, to them their heirs and assignees forever -
The tract of land containing four hundred acres more or less, which I bargained to William Mayrant, I will and empower my executrix and executors as above stipulated to make good and sufficient titles to, on the said William Mayrant complying in a reasonable time with our agreement, otherwise to revert to my Estate .
I will and ordain that all my Negroes (except those bequeathed to my two daughters in case the land should not be sold, and those bequeathed to my wife during her natural life which are not to be divided until her decease) may be equally divided between my four children by my present wife,
their respective shares to be delivered to the males when they attain the age of twenty one years or day of marriage, and to the females when they attain the age of eighteen years or day of marriage, should any of my four children above mentioned depart this life before marriage, or attaining to the age of twenty one years, then the portion or part devised or bequeathed to such child or children, to be equally divided between the survivors .
I Will and bequeath to each of my four children above named one feather bed and furniture. As my son John Mellet, and my daughter Rebecka Barden have heretofore by certain deeds of gift received their respective portions of my estate, I Will and bequeath to them five shillings each and no more.

Died May, 1874 (Drowned in Colorado River)*PINCKNEY, PAULINE A. (ca. 1889-1982). Pauline A. Pinckney, art historian, was born around 1889 in Austin, one of six children of Theodore Frelinghuysen and Pauline (Mellette) Pinckney. She enrolled in the University of Texas in 1909 and studied there for several years before earning a bachelor degree in 1917. She later received a master's degree from Columbia University. She began her career as an instructor of art at Texas Woman's College (now Texas Wesleyan University) in Fort Worth and remained there until 1929, when she moved to Southern Methodist University. She later taught at Purdue University and Kansas State College. While teaching, she also furthered her own skills in painting and sculpting. Other career positions included directing research for the Index of American Design in Washington, D.C., and serving as a consultant on folk arts for the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts (now the Dallas Museum of Art qv).
In the course of her career, Pinckney increasingly turned her interests to research and writing on art history. In the 1930s she published several articles in magazines and newspapers, including the Washington Post, New York Times, and Dallas Morning News, qv on art, architecture, furniture design, and related topics. She also wrote several reviews of art books and exhibits during this time. In 1940 her first book, American Figureheads and Their Carvers, was published by W. W. Norton. This work is reputed to give the first survey of the art of decorative ship carving. Pinckney published two articles on ship figureheads in 1941 and in 1948 assembled a photographic exhibit of American figureheads at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts.
Her best-known work, Painting in Texas: The Nineteenth Century, was published in 1967 for the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art qv by the University of Texas Press. qv From research in diaries, letters, newspapers, and other archival sources she compiled biographical sketches of more than fifty Texas artists. The book, one of the first of its type, emphasized the relationship of Texas artists to their culture. It included more than 100 reproductions and an introduction by Texas painter Jerry Bywaters. qv An exhibit of paintings selected for inclusion in the book was held at the University of Texas at Austin and at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth shortly after the book's publication. Painting in Texas also won an award from the Texas Institute of Letters. qv Pinckney spent most of her later life in Austin. She was active in the Texas Fine Arts Association. qv She died in Austin on October 25, 1982, and was buried there in Oakwood Cemetery. She was survived by one sister and several nieces and nephews.

" In the town of Sumter, there lived William Lewis, a local preacher, who was for many years the Ordinary of Sumter district, which included the County of Clarendon. In his electioneering trips, he frequently preached at Oak Grove. He was deeply concerned in the temperance movement of that day, and strongly aided by addresses and otherwise in the campaign led by Judge O'Neal against king alcohol. Temperance meetings held in Oak Grove Church were addressed by him, John S. Richardson, Dr. Joseph Gallvehat, and William F. B. Haynsworth, then a young man just beginning the practice of law. "
A CONDUCTED TOUR OF SUMTERVILLE IN 1855
An Imaginary Tour of the City of Sumterville in 1850-55
(The following imaginary tour of part of Sumterville was discovered among the papers of the late Mr. Joel E. Brunson after his death. Apparently written for his own amusement some time after 1900, it relates his memories of the city at a very early age. Mr. Brunson, born in 1847, was in the lumber business most of his active life and operated a sash and blind factory approximately on the present site of Korn Industries from 1890 to 1899. At the time indicated in this imaginary tour, he lived on North Harvin street, just off East Liberty. He died in 1913. The article and a picture were found by his daughter, Miss Margaret Brunson, a former teacher in the Sumter Schools.)
HOUSES AND ROADS
"This is the village limit, but we must go farther to see some things. It is just about two hundred yards back to the bridge and those rails so nicely adjusted on the top of the fence, mark the place where Judge William Lewis, County Ordinary, gets over the fence. He frequently sits for hours and talks with people who pass along the road. that Negro coming round the path from his house is named Shady. He can make music on a tin horn as long as a rail, that'll bring all the raccoons in the creek out to dance.
This is the avenue leading to Judge Lewis' house. You see from his huse, two stories, four large columns, the roof painted red, the wide flower garden, well kept, and the numerous Negro servants about the place, that he is in easy circumstances. *Ref: Sumter Co., Genwebd.

Pg 25 & 26) " House and Store in Middle of Street. Sam Gaines found himself in a predicament. His home was in the middle of the street at Third and Broadway. When he built the house during the 1870's, the streets had not been laid out and there was no indication of the problems what would arise. Sam gallantly volunteered to have his house moved and became quite a hero. This appealed to the citizens to the extent that they took up a collection to have his house moved and to buy a lot.It also was necessary for Charles Wheeler to move his house, but the generosity of the townspeople was not extended to him. Sam Yates' tin shop on North Third also had to be moved. [Drawing of the street with the house in the middle].
pPg 48 & 49) Early Muskogee Athletics Muskogee residents have always been interested in athletics, both as participants and observers. The Creeks and Cherokees played stickball ... Boys and men played sandlot baseball before the advent of formal organized athletics in the schools.
The following players lettered in football in 1912: Virgil Hine as captain, Harold Pemberton, Walter Markham, Mosely DeGraffenreid, Pleas Porter, Lacy DeGraffenreid, Curt Buddruss, Cy Wheeler and Francis Johnson.

The following information is from the files of John Tindal, another Mellett Researcher, whose wife is a Mellett Descendant. John is a Haynsworth Descendant.
Peter Mellett died sometime between September 7, 1799 (the date of his will), and May 10, 1800 (the date that his will was filed in the Sumter County Court House). The executors were Margaret H. Mellett (wife), Henry Haynsworth and John Horan. The will mentions Peter's sister, Martha. Witnesses were William Murrell, William J. Rease, and Richard Haynsworth. Appraisers were Reuben Long, John Greening, and William Rees.
Peter Mellette and Stephen Nixon were messengers from the High Hills Baptist Church to the Charleston Association in 1779.
On June 16, 1784, Peter submitted a claim for oats furnished to the Continental Army and a horse lost while in service. The claim was sworn to before William Murrell, Justice of the Peace for the Camden District. [Andrea, 1949]
On January 18, 1786, Peter bought 392 acres on Hatchet Camp from Matthew Singleton. This land was bounded on the west by land granted to Peter Mellet and Col. Mathew Singleton, on the east and north by land belonging to Mr. Singleton, and on the north by land granted to Moses Knight (Knighton). This was part of 4,000 acres originally granted to Mathew Singleton on July 16, 1784.
On April 6, 1786, Peter purchased 418 acres from Jesse Nettles. This land was situated on Grasseyhead a branch of Black River. The land was bounded on the west by land granted to Mason Greening, on the north by land belonging to Ashberry Sylvester, on the east by land belonging to Moses Knighton, and on the south by land belonging to George Ioor. The land was originally granted to Jesse Nettles on May 2, 1785.
Peter Mellette, Gabriel Gerald, William McConnico, William Hampton and Stephen Nixon were messengers from the High Hills Baptist Church to the Charleston Association in 1787. Peter Mellette and William Hampton were messengers from the High Hills Baptist Church to the Charleston Association in 1788.
The 1790 Census of Claremont County, Camden District, South Carolina lists Peter Mollet as the head of a household which included one male over 16, one male under 16, three females, and 22 slaves.
On January 20, 1798, Peter bought from Stephen Nixon 150 acres in the High Hills of Santee on a branch of Black River called Hatchet Camp.
Margaret inherited the house and a 640 acre plantation plus an adjacent tract of 150 acres bought from Stephen Nixon. On July 20, 1802, Margaret sold the 150 acres to Evan Benbow.
Ann Mellett inherited 400 acres which her father had purchased from William Mayrant.
