1858: Chief Justice of Van Zandt Co, TX
15 Apr 1869 Tyler Reporter (as reprinted in Flake’s Bulletin, Galveston, Texas, Sat., April 24, 1869): “We were startled on last Monday morning with the intelligence that about twenty desperadoes from Van Zandt and adjoining counties, dressed in army clothes, had made a raid on the western portion of our county, committing sundry high-handed outrages. They had ridden into Garden Valley at daylight on Saturday morning, surrounded the stores, arrested the clerks, and rifled the houses of whatever they desired. We have been informed that the party surrounded the store of Mssrs. Seeton & Holt about daylight, broke open the door and arrested the clerks. They took articles to the value of about $100. The same party surrounded his store at Jordan Saline at night and broke the door, entering and demanding the money which they received, and took such articles as they desired, worth about $500. They went to the house of Mr. R., whose wife was in bed sick, with a child but a few days old, and acted in a most rude manner, thrusting a knife into the bed clothes, greatly terrifying her. They then went to the house of Dr. Lindsay, there being no one at home but his two little sons, under ten years of age. They pillaged the house, destroying the furniture and robbing it of a gold watch and other trinkets, constituting the heirlooms of the family – at one time preparing the torch for the house. Other outrages are reported, but we shall await fuller information before giving them. We understand women were grossly insulted and threatened with violence by these men. “We believe Major Jewett, in command at Canton, will hold his men responsible for such conduct." Since writing the above, we learn from Capt. T. T. Gammage, just in from Van Zandt, that a few evenings ago two men, in army clothes, went to the house of Judge J. B. (I. B.) Hubbard, arresting him informing him that Major Jewett had ordered his arrest, which was false. He consented willingly to go, and was carried off. The next day his body was found one mile from his home, pierced by many bullets.” Note: Judge Isaac Bolivar Hubbard
