Other Life Events

AnecdoteJohn was born November 7, 1825, in Abbeville County, South Carolina, and died in Rains County, Texas, December 27,1903. He was the only son of Elijah and Jane Turnbull who grew to adulthood. The family moved to Mississippi about 1840. John evidently received more education during his early days than his counterparts on the frontier. His scholarly abilities are evident in various written records and documents he left behind when a good many of his contemporaries were signing "X" for their names. This emphasis on education more than likely came from his grandmother, Jane Steadman. Her son, James Theodore (Elijah's younger brother) obtained an extensive education and was a medical practioner and scholar. In fact, John Ewing owned several medical books himself and he treated his family and other people in the community where he lived in Rains County, Texas. He almost certainly acquired much of his medical knowledge during the U. S. - Mexican Wnr, as a pence officer in Bexar County, Texas, and during several Indian skirmishes in which he participated while living on the Texas frontier. In addition to his book-learning, his early life on the Mississippi frontier evidently prepared him well to survive the hazards which he encountered in later life.In 1846 the U. S. - Mexican War began. Undoubtedly caught up in the fervor of patriotism and adventure, John may have had a more personal reason, as well, for enlisting to fight in the war. In addition to several people known to the Turnbull family in South Carolina who died in the Texas Revolution, there was a James Turnbull who was a member of the ill-fated Mier Expedition in Mexico, and who was unlucky enough to draw a black bean during the infamous Black Bean Episode. The men of the expedition had been captured and ordered to draw a bean out of a jar while blindfolded. There was a bean for each man--173 in all. Seventeen (every tenth bean) were black and the rest were white. The men who drew the seventeen black beans were executed, James Turnbull being one of them.Samuel Walker, for whom the Walker Colt Revolver is named, was a member of the expedition. He drew a white bean and lived to tell of the others' deaths:". . . They all died with more than usual firmness, telling us in their farewell embraces that they desired their murders to be remembered and revenged by their countrymen. . . The deed was a dark one and needed the shades of night to execute it in. The victims, after writing a few hasty lines and making some requests oftheir friends, were blindfolded, their hands tied behind them, and led out just at dusk, divided in two parties. A wall of10 or 12 feet in height obscured them from our view except those who were permitted to see it,and few had any desire to witness it. The firing commenced and lasted about five minutes. . ."Little is known of James Turnbull except that he was born in Scotland and was living in Victoria County, Texas when he enlisted in the Texas Army. He was executed March 25, 1843.Perhaps for the death of this kinsman, however distant, as well as other reasons, John Ewing joined the army. He enlisted on June 8, 1846 in Company "F", FirstMississippi Rifles. The company was commanded by Captain William Delay and the regiment was commanded by Colonel Jefferson Davis who later became the President of the Confederate States of America. John was sent to New Orleans by way ofVicksburg and sailed from New Orleans on the steamship, Alabama, on July 26, for Brazos Island near Point Isabel, Texas. The rolls show him at the following locations between August 1846 and March 1847:September 1,1846 - Camargo, MexicoSeptember 13, 1846 - Cerralvo, MexicoSeptember 30, 1846 - Near Monterrey, MexicoOctober 31, 1846 - Near Monterrey, MexicoFebruary 28, 1847 - Saltillo, MexicoThe records show John Ewing to be five feet, five inches in height, light complected, with dark blue eyes and dark brown hair. His occupation is listed as farmer. Upon discharge from the army he was awarded a certificate for 160 acres ofland. He sold the land in 1848. Early Settlers of Mississippi records his ownership of 420 acres of land valued at $2,000.00 in 1850. The same publication also indicates that John's mother, Jane owned 20 acres adjacent to John's, but does not show his father, Elijah, as a landowner. In December of 1848, John and Miss Martha Meaders were married in Oxford, Mississippi. They lived in Mississippi until 1851, at which time they moved to Bexar County, Texas.THE TRUMBLES IN TEXAS"Life in the early days of 'Texas was great for men and dogs, but it was hell on women and horses." ··An old Texas Saying of' Unknown OriginThe deed records in the courthouse at San Antonio, Texas show John Ewing Tumbull's purchase of 149 acres ofland located on the south bank of the Medina River about 18 miles southwest ofthe courthouse. He paid $595.00 to a Mr. T. J. Devine for this tract of land and sold it in 1858 to a Mr. Zimmerman. It appears that during the early and middle 1850's John was more involved in trading livestock and fighting Indians and Mexican bandits than he was in farming. The courthouse records in San Antonio bear this out:"... Know all men by these present that we, Thomas Stribling and John A Wilcox. . . for and in consideration of one dollar to us in hand paid by Martha R. Turnbull the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged do hereby release and transfer to her, the said Martha R. Tumbull, all of our right, title, and interest in and to thirteen head of Spanish horses including mares and colts, one yoke of oxen and one wagon. Said stock of horses is branded B U S & U which were heretofore conveyed to us in trust on the 19 April, 1860 in trust by J. E. Turnbull to secure us in the payment of a debt. . .o'This transaction illustrates two prominent character traits of the Trumbles. First, it is more interesting to trade, swap, wheel and deal, than it is to farm. Second--let the wife attend to the paperwork.Bigfoot Wallace, famous Texas Ranger, lived a few miles west of John's place on the Medina River. Mr. Wallace also was a member of the Meir Expedition, but drew a white bean and finally made it back to Texas. Apparently Wall ace had known James Tumbull during the Expedition and he and John appear to have hit it off rather quickly when John came to Texas. They were in several Indian fights and other adventures together.About 1861, John became a deputy sheriff for Bexar County. The Commissioners Court Records show that he was paid one dollar per day plus expenses for this work. At some time during this period, he was shot in the left shoulder during a gunfight with a Mexican. The details ofthe incident are unknown, but there is a statement in his own handwriting when he was age sixty-eight and applying for a pension for his service in the U. S. - Mexican War in which he refers to the old injury: It. • • in consequence of old and enfeebled age and kidney disease, together with being a cripple from duelling in earlier life that I am unable to do ordinarylabor for support. He carried the bullet in the wound with him to his grave.At the end of the Civil War during the transition from civil government to martial law administered by the U S. Army and the Carpetbaggers, Texas was in a state of almost complete anarchy. At this time, two men were imprisoned in the Bexar County Jail. The brothers, by the name of Frank, allegedly had murdered an entire family. A group of Vigilantes broke into the jail, took the two Frank brothers out, and hanged them. John Ewing, being a peace officer and partilally responsible for the prisoners, was blamed by the District Attorney (who was a Carpetbagger) for the episode. The District Attorney was in the process of filing charges against him when John changed his name from Turnbull to Trumble and left town. In 1872, after amnesty was declared, John returned to San Antonio to square things up and clear his name. He did a thorough job because absolutely no record of any charges against him are in evidence in the Federal, State, or any other courts in SanAntonio. John and his friends in the courthouse certainly knew how to wipe out court records! However, by 1872, the family was accustomed to using the name Trumble and they were known as Trumble by the people in the community where they lived, so the name never was changed back to Turnbull.The census of1870 shows John and Martha living in Wood County, Texas. The part of Wood County in which they lived later became part of Rains County. They lived in Rains County the remainder of their lives. Their home was located about four miles downriver from the present-day Lake Tawakoni Darn. Joe Ben Trumble, a grandson of John Ewing still lives there. Martha died some time between 1870 and 1878. The location of her grave site is unknown. John Ewing is buried on the old home place about one hundred yards from Joe Ben 'I'rumble's house.2,2
AnecdoteAbout 1846 He did not participate in the Battle of Monterrey since his company was on detached duty from the regiment. John's major combat experience came at the Battle of Buena Vista. The Military History of Mississippi gives the following account of the battle:2,2

AnecdoteJohn was born November 7, 1825, in Abbeville County, South Carolina, and died in Rains County, Texas, December 27,1903. He was the only son of Elijah and Jane Turnbull who grew to adulthood. The family moved to Mississippi about 1840. John evidently received more education during his early days than his counterparts on the frontier. His scholarly abilities are evident in various written records and documents he left behind when a good many of his contemporaries were signing "X" for their names.

Little is known of James Turnbull except that he was born in Scotland and was living in Victoria County, Texas when he enlisted in the Texas Army. He was executed March 25, 1843.

This transaction illustrates two prominent character traits of the Trumbles. First, it is more interesting to trade, swap, wheel and deal, than it is to farm. Second--let the wife attend to the paperwork.
Bigfoot Wallace, famous Texas Ranger, lived a few miles west of John's place on the Medina River. Mr. Wallace also was a member of the Meir Expedition, but drew a white bean and finally made it back to Texas. Apparently Wall ace had known James Tumbull during the Expedition and he and John appear to have hit it off rather quickly when John came to Texas. They were in several Indian fights and other adventures together.
About 1861, John became a deputy sheriff for Bexar County. The Commissioners Court Records show that he was paid one dollar per day plus expenses for this work. At some time during this period, he was shot in the left shoulder during a gunfight with a Mexican. The details ofthe incident are unknown, but there is a statement in his own handwriting when he was age sixty-eight and applying for a pension for his service in the U. S. - Mexican War in which he refers to the old injury:
It. • • in consequence of old and enfeebled age and kidney disease, together with being a cripple from duelling in earlier life that I am unable to do ordinary
labor for support.
He carried the bullet in the wound with him to his grave.
At the end of the Civil War during the transition from civil government to martial law administered by the U S. Army and the Carpetbaggers, Texas was in a state of almost complete anarchy. At this time, two men were imprisoned in the Bexar County Jail. The brothers, by the name of Frank, allegedly had murdered an entire family. A group of Vigilantes broke into the jail, took the two Frank brothers out, and hanged them. John Ewing, being a peace officer and partilally responsible for the prisoners, was blamed by the District Attorney (who was a Carpetbagger) for the episode. The District Attorney was in the process of filing charges against him when John changed his name from Turnbull to Trumble and left town. In 1872, after amnesty was declared, John returned to San Antonio to square things up and clear his name. He did a thorough job because absolutely no record of any charges against him are in evidence in the Federal, State, or any other courts in San
Antonio. John and his friends in the courthouse certainly knew how to wipe out court records! However, by 1872, the family was accustomed to using the name Trumble and they were known as Trumble by the people in the community where they lived, so the name never was changed back to Turnbull.
The census of1870 shows John and Martha living in Wood County, Texas. The part of Wood County in which they lived later became part of Rains County. They lived in Rains County the remainder of their lives. Their home was located about four miles downriver from the present-day Lake Tawakoni Darn. Joe Ben Trumble, a grandson of John Ewing still lives there. Martha died some time between 1870 and 1878. The location of her grave site is unknown. John Ewing is buried on the old home place about one hundred yards from Joe Ben 'I'rumble's house.3
