Descendants of Joshua Epperson
Contributed by Nancy Taul. Thanks, Nancy!
This
genealogy is based on the work of Orlan Hassett Epperson, author of
"The Short and Simple Annals of the Epperson Family of Hamilton County,
Illinois" (1961)
He provided Epperson descendants with the basic outline of the family lineage.
His work is composed of his own family recollections and is written with
wit and wisdom.
Additions/Corrections

The
Epperson were Welsh.
From:
The Short and Simple Annals of the Epperson Family of Hamilton County, IL by
Orlan Epperson.
Joshua
and his wife, Polly, and eight children made the trip to Illinois from Anderson
Co., TN and settled a short distance south east of Middle Creek Church in
Hamilton Co., IL. abt 1836. On the
way, after passing through a narrow section of Kentucky, the family stopped on
the bank of the Ohio River and were ferried across that stream to Shawneetown.
Joshua
lived only five years after moving into his new log home in Hamilton County.
He was not a good farmer. He
liked hunting and the woods much better than farming and had special affection
for his long rifle, a muzzle loader. He
carried his bullets in a pouch at his belt. Therein lies the story and the legend.
Joshua was never known to buy lead or lead bullets; yet he had recourse
to an apparently endless supply. According
to the story handed down, he would go out across the fields, into the woods, and
presently come back with a chunk of crude lead.
His family never learned his secret, no matter how hard they tried.
He would tell them that just before he died he would reveal it, but he
never did. Three generations of his
descendants have discussed this mysterious "lead mine", and some of
the men, including my own father, have scoured the country in vain search for
it. Of course, there was never any
natural lead deposits in Hamilton County, but his old Joshua know that?

Notes
for JAMES
EPPERSON:
James
never married.
In
1847 a law was passed making the veteran of the Mexican War eligible to receive
government grants of land to the extent of 160 acres.
Polly Epperson appeared in McLeansboro before Justice of the Peace, C. H.
Heard, and thereby made application for James' quarter section of land, on July
9, 1847, and signed with her mark. It
was seventeen years later that this property came into the possession of the
Epperson family.
Polly
received from the Pension Office of the United States, "Milt Land Warrant
No. 5784 for 160-acres act of 1847".
On
January 155, 1858, Lankford Epperson went before Justice John S. Kinnear in
McLeansboro, and in his affidavit stated that his mother, Polly Epperson, had
received the land grant but had never used it to gain actual possession of the
land, "that said Polly departed this life on the first day of August 1850,
and that said Polly Eperson (sic) is affiant's mother and of the following
persons...." Here follows the
names of the then 28 yr. old Lankford's sisters and brothers.
Lankford swore further that "since Polly Eperson died said warrant
aforesaid has been located and lost---or destroyed."
The Justice goes on to say "Affiant is informed that said warrant is
not at the General Land Office. Affiant
makes this declaration for the purpose of getting a duplicate certificate of
said warrant to secure for him and the aforesaid heirs a title to said warrant
and pray that the same will be granted".
On
that same day George Boster and his brother Sidney Boster made affidavit before
this same Justice, and substantiated the statements made by Lankford.
On
January 20, 1864, six years later, the struggle for the land ended, as the
following exact quotation of the official document will show.
"There
is therefore granted by the United States, unto George Boster assignee of
Charles Epperson, Lankford T. Epperson, Arlena A. Boster, formerly Epperson and
Esy (sic) Caroline Clark formerly Epperson heirs at law of the said Polly
Epperson deceased as to their interests and of Hiram Cape, assignee of Joshua
Epperson and Patsy Epperson minor heirs of the said Polly Epperson deceased as
to their interests by George Boster their duly appointed guardian, and to his
heirs, the southwest quarter of section thirty five, in Township Four South of
Range Five, East, in the District of Lands formerly subject to sale at
Shawneetown, now Spring, Illinois, containing one hundred and sixty acres
according to the Official Surveyor General, which said tract has been located
in satisfaction of the above mentioned Warrant, in pursuance of the Act of
Congress above mentioned, approved February 11, 1847 - TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the
said quarter section of land, with the appurtenances thereof unto George Boster
and to his heirs and assigns forever."
This
land was located in the Dahlgren Township of Hamilton Co., IL.
