Runnels family. Georgia - Miscellaneous Genealogical Records, Vol. I, 1973. Presented by: Georgia State Society. History of Benjamin B. Hubert Submitted by Margaret Cook Hendricks through the Harwkinsville Chapter Benjamin B. Hubert was born in Alsace-Lorraine, France about 1720. He was among the Huguenots who emigrated to America previous to the year 1746. In 1748 he was married to Mrs. Mary Williams, widow of Paul Williams of Frederic County, Virginia. He lived for a number of years in Virginia where his oldest son, William, was born Feb. 15, 1749. He later removed to Caswell County, North Carolina where he and Mary Williams Hubert reared their seven children. Low in stature, Benjamin B. Hubert was of very dark complexion, dark hair and eyes, rather stout, very active and strong, systematic and orderly in all his work. He was a farmer and in religion a Presbyterian. His place of residence during the Revolution was Caswell County, North Carolina although he served under the command of Col. Elijah Clark of Georgia in the struggle for liberty and independence. His son, Matthew, served in the North Carolina lines and it is believed that the William Hubert, a soldier in the Continental lines in N.C. was his oldest son. Benjamin B. Hubert was certified for a Georgia Bounty Grant to Revolutionary Soldiers by Col. Elijah Clark. In 1785 or 1786, he moved from North Carolina to Wilkes County (now Warren), Georgia. His son, William, did not emigrate to Georgia with his father, sisters and brothers but remained in Virginia or North Carolina. The plantation on which he settled remained in the Hubert family for more than one hundred years and it is there Benjamin and Mary Hubert and other members of his family are buried. The will of Benjamin B. Hubert was the first will recorded in Warren County. It was signed by him July 26, 1793. The executors were John Rutherford, Matthew Hubert and David Hubert. Testifiers were Matthew Hubert, Elijah Runnels and Gibson Flournoy. Named as beneficiaries in his will are his wife, Mary; sons, William, Matthew, Gabriel and David; daughters, Fannie, Mary (or Polly) and Hester.

ALVIN WARD VOGTLE 25 Clarendon Road, Mountain Brook Birmingham, Alabama 35213 July 10, 1965 Dear Mrs. Burch: I had delayed my reply to your cordial letter June 25th in the expectation of obtaining worthwhile information from Lawrence County, Mississippi but I am now advised that Mr. W. E. Driver, the gentlemen with whom I have worked in Monticello, has had an angina attack and is permitted to work only four hours a day, so it will be a couple of weeks before he can dig out the old Estate of Harmon Runnels and wife Hester. Meanwhile, I give you what I have, including record of the Benjamin Hubert family and his will, which mentions Hester as one of his three daughters, and in fact, all three of the Hubert girls marry Runnels. It is clear from the records that the Hubert's and Runnels migrated from North Carolina to Georgia well before Revolution, and that the Harmon Runnels came on to Mississippi about 1810. In the Runnels Bible Record, which you submitted to Mississippi Genealogical Society, you mention a Miss Howell as wife of Harmon Runnels? And some of your dates do not agree with the dates in the biographies published in the Handbook of Texas, Vol II, by Texas Historical Association copy herewith. My wife is not in direct descent from Runnels. It is an intermarriage between her great aunt, Jane Armstrong, and Jesse Runnels on September 21, 1826 at Monticello, Miss. I have worked up a family chart on my wife's ancestry and when I fill it in with more recent information, I will send you a copy as matter of interest, as some of her ancestors clearly associated with the Runnels in Georgia and lived near them in Lawrence County, Mississippi. I agree with you that history has slighted this distinguished family, so prominent in Georgia, Mississippi and Texas in that there is not anything published about family genealogy. You deserve thanks of present and generations to come for your fine interest. With good wishes, I remain, Sincerely, A.W. Vogtle *************** BENJAMIN HUBERT Benjamin B. Hubert, a native of France, was among the Huguenots who emigrated to America previous to the year 1716. In 1718 he married a widow, Mrs. Mary Williams, of Frederick County Virginia.

Runnels family. CHILDREN OF DAVID HUBERT and PHILADELPHIA BARTLETT MATTHEW HUBERT Descendants of early Texans are given to asserting that the markers of Texas History were not a crude lawless type, but that they came from civilized communities, and that they brought the elements of civilization with them. Matthew Hubert, the eldest son of David and Philadelphia Hubert was born in 1809 at Hazlehurst, Copiah, Co., Ms., where he was reared and educated. He came to Texas with Vehlin's Colony in 1828, and settled in the eastern part of the State, where he owned a slave plantation and became a member of the Committee of Safety from the Nacogdoches District. He married Miss. Senia McComb (Aunt Cenie) and had four children: Beatina, who married Tom Butler; Miliam, Henry, and another daughter who married a Mr. Hausborough. Matthew Hubert died in Polk County, Texas in 1853. Many Hubert's of this family lived in Polk and Liberty Counties. The Court House there burned with all records of an early date destroyed. State records show (letter from J. T. Robinson, State Land Commissioner, 1923), "A Spanish title to one league of land was made to Matthew Hubert of Vehlin's Colony 10-22-1835, and also a heart-right certificate of one labor of land was issued to him by the Board of Land Commissioners of Liberty County, 2-1-1838, and recites that Matthew Hubert was a citizen of Texas at the date of the Declaration of Independence, 3-2-1836; a married man, and immigrated to Texas in 1828. Col. Andrew J. Houston tells me that he has a record of Matthew Hubert's service, the Indian Department in Texas. 1. Alfred Hubert died in Montgomery Co., Ms., left no children. 2. Benjamin, (see sketch). 3. David.....died in infancy. 4. Hester Runnels Hubert, only daughter of David and Philadelphia Bartlett Hubert, was born in Jackson, Ms. in 1827. She married Gabriel B. Ragsdale, and came with him to Texas in 1844. Her mother came with her, but died next year, 1845. Hester Runnels Hubert Ragsdale died rather early in life, leaving four young children: 1. Jennie (Mrs. Taylor, Crystal Springs, Texas) 2. Nannie (Mrs. John T. Fogg, Fort Worth, Texas) 3. Robert Smith Ragsdale 4. Helen (Mrs. Sublet) BENJAMIN HUBERT Benjamin Hubert, son of David Hubert, was born in Monticello, Jefferson County, Ms., 5-15-1825, died 9-15-1867. After the death of his father, a Mississippi planter and slave owner, he came to Texas in 1834, when only 16 years of age, and joined his older brother, Matthew Hubert, who at that time was a member of the "Committee of Safety" from the Nacogdoches District, and the owner of a slave plantation. Impelled by the daring spirit of adventure, he at once attached himself to the "Home Guards" to keep down Indian depredations and to quell incipient revolt on the part of the Mexicans in Texas. He was in a number of skirmishes and was later attached to the army as a courier and rider. He early learned the language of a number of the Indian tribes, and this knowledge, and a wide acquaintance with the Indians, later enabled him to enter the Indian service. While on a visit to his home in Mississippi he met and married Anna Maria Simpson of Baltimore, a beautiful and cultured girl, and returned with his bride to Texas. He settled in Galveston, where he engaged in the mercantile business. Soon tiring of that prosaic life, he again went to Polk County where at Cold Springs they maintained a home for a number of years. He later became an Indian Trader and assisted in established Trading-post all upon the Brazos to Clay and Montague Counties. He lived with his family on the very outskirts of civilization and encountered all the hardships and hazards of those days. He joined Gen. Hugh McLeod in 1841 on his attempted expedition to Santa Fe. During the years 1845-1850 he continued to work among the Indians with Maj. R. S. Neighbors, U.S. Indian Agent, at the Comanche Indian Reserve. It was no unusual thing to waken in the mornings with the Indians camped all around the settlement when they came to barter their hides for the merchandise of the White Man, but it was a slow and tedious business clinching a bargain with an Indian. They were experts in dressing hides, and the buck skins prepared by them were a standard commodity; while the buffalo hides which they dressed with the hair still on them, and decorated with various designs in paint on the inner sides were no mean achievement in art, and were in great demand. They had a weakness for bright colors and were ready to pay any price for red calico, but would hardly accept as a present the paler colors. The government furnished the wagons and teams for the families, and the commerce was carried on chiefly by pack-mules. They were driven from their homes many times by the Indians, while on the frontier, had their house and contents burned and all stock driven off; for at that time the Comanches from the Ft. Sill Reservation would make a foray into Texas during the light of every moon. Ben Hubert, in the early 1850's located at Boonville (now Bryan) in Brazos County, where he became a pioneer real estate dealer in Central Texas. Here he erected a large Colonial home, and lived in genuine southern style, entertaining lavishly as was the custom of those days. Then a good hostess liked to evidence her hospitality by the quality and variety of viands placed at the disposal of her guests. Like many families of the times, they kept brandy on the sideboard, and cordials and brandy were made in fruit season along with preserves, jelly and pickles. Some even then were tee-toddlers, others were more democratic and enjoyed bar-room company; but the Hubert family were "betwixt and between", dispensing lavish hospitality in the home but refraining from saloons and public drinking. Ben Hubert was right-of-way agent for the H. & T. C. R. R. then being built from Houston to Bryan. In the prosecution of this work, he was assisted by his son Frank, and they became well acquainted with the country through which the road was projected. All this country was then wide open to settlers. He continued in the work, acquiring quite a competency, until the time of his death in 1867, from yellow fever. In the summer of that year, when the scourge reached Bryan, he sent his family to the Brazos bottom plantation, and he stayed to help care for the stricken. He contacted the disease himself and succumbed, 9-15-1867 and was buried with the fever victims in the cemetery at old Booneville. His gravestone is still standing: with Masonic emblem, Ben Hubert born in Monticello, Ms., 5-15-1815 died in Bryan 9-15-1867. "Though Dead - Not Forgotten". He was a Methodist in belief, and was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Bryan at the time of his death. He served at one time as Custodian of the Port of Galveston, Tx. The Governor's Runnels of Mississippi and Texas were his cousins as was Frank Howard Hubert, a member of the Legislature from Washington Co. 1856-1860 and who married Sarah Hoxie, daughter of Dr. Asa Hoxie and old settler at Independence, Tx. Ben and Anna Hubert had eleven children, most of whom lived to maturity. Both he and his wife possessed considerable means and were noted for their many charities.

The earlier years of her life, of which she retained vivid remembrance, were spent with her parents on the frontier. She and her twin sister, Hester, were almost identically alike, and according to the fashion of that day, always dressed the same. Their education was carried on in a very haphazard manner until they settled in Bryan, where they attended the schools of that place, and later the "Young Ladies Seminary" of Miss. Mary Brown in Houston. Hester was married to John N. Henderson, in Bryan in 1868, and the year following, Annie was married to James Samuel Perry. Their husbands being partners in the law firm of Henderson & Perry. They lived in adjoining homes. J. S. Perry and Annie Hubert were married 5-16-1869 in the First Baptist Church of Bryan, by Dr. F. M. Law and had a very pretentious wedding, with ten bridesmaids and attendants with all the usual accessories. Mrs. Perry was considered a beautiful woman, both in character and personal appearance.......generous; devoted to her children and grand children; kept "open house", and truly upheld the traditions of southern womanhood.
