In the 1860 census, Edwin, was 8 months old.

This criminal criminal case from Texas mentions both the Haden store in downtown Ladonia and Ed Wishard, brother of Henrietta Wishard White whose daughter married a son of J. B. Haden. Joel Partain may have been a brother to the James Partain who had married Ed & Henrietta's sister Martha.

27 Oct 1886. Opinion from the Court of Appeals of Texas.

Reporter: 22 Tex.Ct.App.100

Appeal from District Court of Fannin Co. The conviction was for Perjury and the penalty assessed against appelant was five years in the penitentiary.

Joel Partain v. the State

On 14 Dec 1883, John Parker killed John Webb at a circus performance at the town of Ladonia. Partain had testified that he saw the murder and indicated Parker acted in self defense. Testimony was given that he was not present at the killing, but had already left for home, riding with one Joe Lewis. Wallace Partain, brother of Joel, testifed that he was in the town when Webb was killed by Parker. He and Ed Wishard were standing on the east side of the square and were walking to Haden's store on the west side when he saw Jim Cook riding towards the show grounds. Fifteen minutes later, one of the Eastman boys came to town and reported the killing of Webb and this witness and Wishard went immediately to the circus tent. Ed Eastman testified that he was at the circus when the shooting took place and he rode immediately to town, where, in front of Haden's store he told of the killing to a crowd of several persons. About fifteen minutes had then elapsed.

Appeal of the conviction of Joel Partain was made in part because the evidence was not material to the case, the evidence was all circumstantial and also that the verdict was written up as finding him "guilly" - the "t" had not been crossed. The judge ruled that the false testimony that Partain had actually seen the killing and seen Parker acting in self defense was most certainly material to the case; there was positive evidence from more than one witness that Partain was not at the place of the shooting, as well as circumstantial evidence, and that the objection to the mis-spelled word was not well-taken. Judgment was affirmed by the Appeals Court Judge Willson.
