"PIONEER POPLIN MOMENTOES ON DISPLAY HERE AT MUSEUM " ( Excerpt transcribed by Tina Rogers Beller, June 23, 2004 )
By E. M. Sheridan
"About 1750 three brothers of the nam eof Poplin came from England with their families and setteled in North Carolina, one of which brothers is the ancester of the subject of this sketch. To one of the sons of this latter brotehr was bore a son about 1752, who grew to manhood and married and among other children of such marriage was born two sons named GREEN L. and RICHARD. At the age of 22 years Richar married, and in 1803 of such marriage was born a son of the name of RICHARD. He, likewise in 1825, was married to ELIZABETH HINSON, who was of Scotch-Irish parentage, and of such marriage, on November 10, 1826 at Guilford County, North Carolina, a son was born named John. Now when John was about 4 years old, his parents, taking him with them, together with other relatives of their families, moved to HICKMAN COUNTY, TENNESSEE. Where were born, in the course of time, KIZIAH, NANCY, LAZERAS, CORDELIA, AARON, MYRICK , and RUTH, sisters and brothers of JOHN.
In 1845, JOHN was married to MARY DEATON who was of Scotch-Irish parentage on the side of her father, and German-Welsh on the side of her mother; and as issue of this marriage was born, at HICKMAN COUNTY, TENNESSEE, on the 26th of September, 1846, a son named HOUSTON LAFAYETTE POPLIN, the subject of this memoir. Other children were born, to wit : PERMELIA, PARLEA, MARTHA, ELLEN, and RICHARD WINFIELD, the latter on February 2, 1854 ( typed as 1856 with "6" obscured by "4" written over it by unknown researcher notes ) at which date their mother died and the body was buried in the ALLEN JONES Cemetery on the BRUSHY Creek of BEAVER DAM in said HICKMAN COUNTY, ( TENNESSEE.)
Thereafter John, the father, married a second time, to MAHALA BREECE, of English ancestry; and of this second marriage were born ALVA NAPOLEON , ANNETTE, ADLEY GREENFIELD, THOMAS JEFFERSON, PHELISSA, CLARA and ROBERT LEE. Of the above named, ALVA N. who died in childhood, MARTHA E. ANNETTE and CLARA, are deceased. About 1875 the mother, MAHALA, died, and her body was buried in SUTTON VALLEY Cemetery, ANDERSON COUNTY, KANSAS, beside the grave of her son, ALVA NAPOLEON.
Thereafter John married MINERVA J. ( HINSON ) CURRY, a widow having two children, AMOS CURRY and SARAH CURRY. Of this last marriage one daughter was born named DILAH.
Thereafter JOHN POPLIN, our father, passed from this life, on the 10th day of May, 1903, at VENTURA AVENUE, VENTURA, CALIFORNIA in which county he had ( ? resided since 1855 ? ) and his body was buried in Santa Paula Cemetery, in said county. " etc. ( article Dated : January 18, 1921 )
___________________________________________________
Per Poplin family members who sent data to Elsie B. Davidson and others : ( transcribed by Tina Rogers Beller 2003 )
John Poplin sent his step-son Amos Curry to Dental School in Kansas.
Per Desc. of Elijah Hinson by Rick Parker he had a quote from Helene Myers Hamm which stated :
"John, the eldest child of Richard and Elizabeth was age four when his family emigrated to Hickman County, Tennessee. Traveling with "other relatives of their families, " they reached Hickman County in January 1830 and settled on the Brushy Fork of Beaverdam Creek. here John Poplin grew to manhood and attended schools in a little log schoolhouse with a dirt floor taught by Jonathan Hicks. His schoolmates were JAMES MONROE DAVIDSON and his sister, EVALINE, the Garrentts, McPeaks, Kimmins, Berrymans, Mathises and Johnsons. In 1845 John married Mary Deaton. ( refer to the Mary Deaton notes for further info on her line of Deatons, Jordans and etc. ) John taught school and farmed to support their growing family of six children: Houston, Permelia, Parlea, Martha and Richard. Mary died in childbirth when Richard was bron. She is buried in Hinson/Banks Cemetery, Hickman County, Tennessee. Left a widower with six children at age 28, John married secondly Mary Ann Mahala Breece daughter of Henry and Levina Breece. The family continued to grow with the birth of Alva and Mary. On September 15, 1857 John and family left Hickman County for Carroll County, Arkansas where Mahala's older brother William Breece and family had gone in the early 1850's. John purchased a small farm on Crooked Creek for $800 and continued to farm and teach school. Two more children were born during their stay in ARKANSAS; Adley and Phelissa ( Poplin ) When the Civil War broke out, John served as a First Lieutenant in the Confederate Army until his discharge for typhoid pneumonia. In 1863 during the Battle of Pea Ridge, the family was forced to leave their home in Ark. ; they escaped and went to Monroe County, IA where they remained for a year and another daughter Clara was born. In the spring of 1864 John and family continued their trek west to Anderson County, KAN. They remained there for a year then decided to return to their farm in ARK. They found that their home had been burned during the war so John traded the farm for a good team of horses and a new wagon and they returned to Anderson County, KAN. where John resumed farming and teaching school. Two more sons were born in Kansas: Thomas and Robert Poplin. Mahala died at age 44, and is buried in Sutton Valley Cemetery, Anderson County, KAN. In 1876 John returned to Tenn. and claimed his third wife, Minerva HINSON CURRY who also was his second cousin. She was the daughter of Elijah and Evaline Hinson and the widow of Levi R. "Amos" Curry. Following their marriage in Perry County, Tenn., John, Minerva Jane and her two small children Amos and Sarah Curry returned to John's home in Kan. where they remained until 1885. One child, Dilea was born to John and Minerva Jane. In 1884 John, his wife and youngest daughter returned to Tenn. for a visit. A detailed account of this trip appeared in the Hickman Pioneer October 17, 1884. In 1885 a letter from a friend who had moved to Ventura County, Calif. enticed John and his oldest son, Houston to travel there in search of new opportunities. After purchasing a 200 acre portion of the original Spanish land grant of Don Jose Arnaz they returned to Kansas to get their families and move them to their new California home. A true pioneer, John Poplin was eulogized as "an honest, sturdy, upright, patriotic citizen, faithful to the demands of honor and justice." He raised eleven children and two step-children, including one lawyer, two dentists and one teacher. He died May 10, 1905 and is buried in Santa Paula Cemetery, Ventura County, Calif. beside Minerva Jane.
"I am proud to be a great-granddaughter of those hardy pioneers, John Poplin and Mahala Breece Poplin. They provided an outstanding example of courage, honesty and dignity to guide the lives of their many descendants. " - submitted by Helene Myers Hamm ( from the Rick Parker genealogy on Elijah Hinson. )

His Recent Visit to His Old Home and the Recollection of Other Days
Editor Pioneer:---It was my lot to be brought up on the Brushy fork of Beaverdam, my father emigrating from North Carolina about the year A.D. 1830 and settling on the aforesaid little stream, then a wilderness nearly, there being only a few little squatters claims on those little creeks. Father stopped in January, near a spring where Joel P Morrison and the widow of David Hinson now lives, though father soon purchased a little occupant claim from on David Lancaster, where Lewis Baker now lives, and he there remained until the fall of 1854, when he moved to the head of Coon creek, Perry county, where he remained until his death, where the remains of my father and mother are now interred. My mother was a daughter of old John Hinson, the father of old Uncle George Hinson, the father of the late David Hinson who fell by the hand of Mormonism in Lewis county; therefore you can readily see that the name of Tennessee is always near and produces tender emotions with me. I was intimately acquainted in the adjoining neighborhoods of the counties of Perry and Lewis, on Swan and Cane creeks, and Duck river and Beaverdam with their tributaries, with all or nearly so of the old settlers from my boyhood to the year 1857, and the very name of the old noble sires and dames of worthy sons and daughters with whom I spent so many pleasant hours, months, and years, will ever bring vividly to my memory pleasant emotions and as I pass along over this rambling narrative I will frequently give same few of the names of those grand old worthies, whose ashes are now, many of the, marked by a slab of wood or stone, some in Tennessee and many in the States of the West. I attended my first school, taught by a man named Jonathan Hick; the little schoolhouse stood near the mouth of the Brushy fork of Beaverdam, where old Levi Garratt used to live. The land is now owned by the Aetna Iron Company. I left the land of my childhood on September 15th, 1857 for Carroll county Arkansas then ever after only visiting and reviewing the pleasant faces of my youthful companions by imaginations, hollow dreams, though it still appearing too plain to my recollection that those hallowed memories would be brought back to my vision on my visiting those old sacred spots, though alas! how sadly mistaken was the reality in the case, a few days ago, as I traversed those little narrow gravely hollows and looked for those pleasant faces, whose countenances the bloom of youth lit up, alas! how changed w3as not only the face of the country, but more solemnly the transformation that had passed over poor, frail, transitory mortals of all those youthful companions and old fathers and mothers, only now and then one could I find, only by a small slab of decayed wood or stone to mark the last remains of those loving countenances, how solemn the scenes!
I left Greeley, Anderson county, Kansas on September 1st with the brightest anticipations for a six weeks visit to the pleasant home of my childhood, with my wife and little daughter, and after being on the railroad for three days and nights, rolled up to the little depot at Centreville, in Hickman county, Tenn., at 2 o'clock p.m. Meeting the courteous liveryman, Mr. George, at the depot we were soon on the top of the hill in the city of Centreville. At the post office which is kept by my old friend Easley, whose face and hair when I saw him last was all aglow with the bloom of youth though now are so changed with the wrinkles of many summers and the silvery frosts of many winters, how rapidly my mind runs back to the days when I used to vote for the noble old patriot, J. D. Easley, for county clerk the father of my friend whose changed appearance now stands before me. In a short time my friend George with his new buggy and in person was at the door of the post office, with my wife and little daughter seated in, was soon passing through town south for Beaverdam, for my brother-in-laws Alva Breece's, a brother of my second wife, who is now living on a part if what was once the old Maj. McClaren lands, known by this title in my boyhood days. Arrived at Breece's about 5 o clock pm, finding my old true and trusty friend sorely afflicted and very frail; how fleeting and transitory are all the material things. Being very much fatigued and wearied from the oppressive heat and the rush of railroad travel, our interview the first night was short. Next morning, being refreshed, we were highly entertained, though the answers to our interrogatories by Alva, was the cause of many solemn emotions to our minds, for in a great majority of the questions after old friends and acquainces, the answers were they are dead! Or worse, they are sorely afflicted or their minds thrown off their balance. Here we remained with our brother for several days and visiting other old friends, viz; Jonathan Arnold and his noble lady, who was a near relative of my first wife; my first wife was a daughter of Elias Deaton, an old Baptist preacher who moved to West Tennessee from Beaverdam in an early day. In my interview with Katherine Arnold the short time that I was permitted to enjoy her company, how often our minds were called back to former scenes and friends, which have long since passed away only remaining in the frail memory of the few here. I also met with her second son, Robert Green, who was only a small boy when I last saw him, who is now the father of a fine intelligent family of children. From Alva Breece's I went down Beaverdam by the old Aetna Iron works which was built by M. C. Napier some where about the year 1833 I believe, and for a number of years there was a great amount of business done there and a large amount of money spent; sold by M. C. Napier to old Dr. Napier; then after the death of the old Doctor, I believe the works went into the hands of Carter & Hillman, the old Dr B. N resided at the furnace; a generous, sociable, and charitable gentleman. In passing up by those old dilapidated and old torn down works how vivid was the times, scenes, and faces, long since passed, called back to my memory, as I stood near the old cribs where the foundations only remaining, I though of a scene that took place there long years ago. An old copper colored negro, Jo Epperson by name, sent another negro under the cribs after night to scare out some hogs, Jo, standing with club in hand to knock down the shoat, as their manner was then, they would clean and cook the shoat and eat him up at one time. This time no shoat came. When the negro stuck out his head from under the crib, Jo with club, "salted" said negro down through mistake taking him for a shoat, coming very near killing him. They then carried him up on the bridge hill and next morning sent for Dr. Carter for the assaulted negro. Now a person passing those old down-fallen works who was never acquainted here cannot form the least idea of what they were like: the old face that was dug along the west bluff of the creek, leaving the creek above the works, costing thousands of dollars, can now scarcely be traced and the little old grist mill that stood there before the Iron works were built can only be located by persons in whose memories those days linger, which are growing very few. From here I soon was up to the afore mentioned schoolhouse ground of my little boyish days. Then and there came rushing to my memory some things passed a half a century ago and why am I still left? And whilst here pleasant faces with the names of many came rushing across my mind in rapid succession until I was nearly lost to a realization of my surroundings; the names and faces of the old pioneers who first settled around here, viz: Levi Garrett, old Wm Hicks, the father of my first school teacher, Claban Berryman, the gentleman Kimmens, Daniel Davidson, Benjamin Lancaster, his sons John and Gabriel Lancaster, old John Angel, old Jeremiah Boothe. John Hinson my grandfather, Cornelius Mathis and then lower down the creek, Robt. Wade who still survives the shock of time, Thos. Warren who is now gone, Bartley Milam, Samuel Milam, Thos. Shepherd, Mark Black, Jacob Biler, Joseph McCann, Esq. McCollum father of Levi McCollum; then leaving Beaverdam on Swan my memory still passes to numerous friends whose faces are long since familiar with other spirits in other climes, old George Perry who served for year in Hickman county as county surveyor and his sons, Robertson Whiteside who represented the county in the legislature with horror to himself and credit to his constituents, John Burcham, Abner F Aydelotte, Samuel Aydelotte, William Duncan, and sons, the Wetherly brothers and the Sharps and numerous others; then in Centreville the names that still linger in my memory with the familiar faces, the Williamses, Arch and Sam, old Drs. Samuel Bird and Moore, G W Russell, the Huddlestons, Jack and Pleas, old Wm Bird, the Clagetts: then on Cane creek and Duck river I could make a long list of names whose smiling faces have long since, many of them, crossed the lonely river and the few that remain, like myself, standing immediately on the brink, only waiting and watching for the momentarily expected beckon from the had of a loving Father whose blessings we have so long been enjoying. From this place I proceeded slowly up the Brushy fork by the place where Joseph Elkens lived, a little farm known later as the Jones Rivers place, then up the old Thomas Green land where Ross Bruce now lives; the to where Cornelius Mathis used to live, where Benijah Bruce now lives, passing by my old time friend Gorge W Black, taking dinner with him, finding Benijah Bruce so sorely afflicted that he cannot walk one step, neither can he stand alone having to be carried and lifted as a little infant. At this place I married my second wife, the daughter of the widow Breece, on the 22nd of April, 1854. From this place I passed on up the creek, the next little farm being the place where my father settle about 1831, where Lewis Baker now lives. How changed is the face of this country, those little narrow confined rocky hollows, the heavy rains which comes so often has washed those flint gravels down in bars and drifted up and throwed the water of those little creeks back from one place to another until those small valley are nearly all bars of gravel. I here was as before sadly disappointed in my expectations, all disappointment. Then from here went by the widow of David Hinson's to old Uncle George Hinson's passing the farm where old Allen Jones once lived, an uncle of my first wife, where Joel P Morrison now lives. Here is where the companion of my youthful days lies in silent repose in the little cemetery o J P Morrison's premises. Stopping for several days with my old uncle and aunt I had a very pleasant time, though finding them greatly troubled over the sad and sorrowful ending of their son David, made out visit more solemn. From here we went to Cane creek to our brother-in-laws, Harvey Hinson, finding the country all along our travel so much changed, washed and worn that we cannot express our feelings in any better way than to say we felt lonely and disappointed. The old farm where Jesse Depreist used to live is worn out and not any worse than the other farms down the creek, the old John P A Parks farm, where a Mr. Cotham has lately bought, we learn that he was offered $6,000 for his farm which does appear unreasonable to me. Then the old Sam Johnson farm adjoining our brother-in-law has bought at $3.000, (and we are sure that those pieces can be beat badly in Kansas, where a man can plow all day and never rub a gravel with his plow) Then down at the old mill that was owned by Abram Whiteside where I often went to mill on horseback when a small boy. The same scenes are hourly witnessed. Those old bare solid limestone barren hills still hold their own, more nearly than anything I found in all my ramblings. The old John Sisco farm has been divided and sub-divided up until it does not look natural: Cane creek taking the lions share of all the best bottoms along the stream. Then the old Jack McClaren farm and the old Amos Skelton, where his son Samuel Skelton now lives, and the old John Lewis land where post office of Farmer's Exchange is now kept, owned by my old friend Sutton is all about the same. The heavy rains and high waters of the creek have done a great damage. Here with my wife's brother and friends and relative and acquaintances we spent many pleasant days and hours making inquiries after old friends of our youthful days until the morning of the 23rd of September, when we started from Harvey Hinson's for Centreville, retracing our steps down the Brushy fork of Beaverdam arriving at Centreville at 12 o'clock. Passing down Indian creek we still as usual were called back by serious reflections to the old pioneers who were here I the long ago. The old farm where old man Hickman used to live, where Robert Watson now lives, and the old farm where the old widow McPeak lived, where old George Loveless used to live, then above the saw mill where Charles Johnson had a tanyard when I was a boy are still to my memory as of the days of long ago. Then coming to the hill where the road used to run up the hill, south of the present road, bring the memory of passing the place first on the hill of James D Easley, who was county clerk of Hickman county so long and there near by stood the little low brick school building that was then the pride and boast of the town. Passing on into the city I found more improvement and appearance of prosperity than I had seen in all my rambles in the county. Though necessarily short here, I met an old time friend, James Briggs, whom I used to be familiar with on Swan, and had a short and pleasant conversation with him, though the result was the same for I learned that all or nearly so, of the old friends of my childhood days are know no more in the flesh. Here I had an introduction of a few moments only to the genial and friendly person of the editor of the Hickman Pioneer. Then in a few minutes I, with my wife and little daughter, was on the narrow gauge road for Dickson, and after traveling and retracing our steps for from one to forty miles, we arrived at Dickson about 6 o'clock p.m., tired, though real proud to think that we probably would never have to be tortured and jammed so any more by those little hard slatted seats. There is one thing though we feel duty bout to say, and that is the old gentleman who is conductor on this little crooked road is surely a Christian, for in both trips we never heard him use on ugly cuss word, and we are fully persuaded if he had not been a saint he would have swore or frowned more that he did.
