Biography

Silas Scarborough's History and Family

[1]In the Brushy Creek Community is one of the earlier Churches of Christ in East Texas. While proof of the beginning of the church at Brushy Creek is not known, we know the church was meeting or began to meet early 1850, when Silas Scarborough's family moved into the country from Union County, Arkansas.

In the book, "GOSPEL PREACHERS WHO BLAZED THE TRAIL", is a write-up on Silas Scarborough. "Silas Scarborough was born in Arkansas, November 10, 1829. Obeyed the Gospel at the age of sixteen. At the age of twenty he married Miss F.A. Blackshear. To them five children were born - one now living (in 1911).

At the age of twenty-one he moved to Anderson County, Texas. In 1850, he moved to what is now Hood County, Texas. His first wife died in 1859.

The day Texas seceded from the Union, he married Mrs. M.D. Heart. To them five children were born."

The children of Silas Scarborough and Frances Angelina (Blackshear) Scarborough were:

  1. L.W. Scarborough, born 7 Aug. 1851 in Anderson County and died, 6 Nov. 1853 in Anderson County, Texas.
  2. Victoria Texas Scarborough, born 28 Dec. 1852 in Anderson County, Texas and died 26 Feb. 1875.
  3. Louella C. Scarborough, born 15 Dec. 1854, married 7 July 1871 to _______Hightower, and moved to Seattle, Washington.
  4. Sarah F. Scarborough, born 5 Aug. 1857 in Anderson County, Texas, married in August 1872 to _____Eaker. (I think this is might be in error. William Eaker married the widow Sarah ANN Scarborough Smith in 1866. Source: "Daughters of Republic of Texas", pg 48)
  5. John Franklin Scarborough, born 10 Dec. 1859 in Hood County, Texas, married 14 Dec 1884 to Miss Mary Amazona Perry. (Daughter of Doc Cornelius and Izabel Jane Abercrombie Perry.)The children of John Franklin and Mary Amazona Scarborough were

  3. Ollie, born 1890 and died 1891;
  4. Mayme Scarborough, born 1892 in Quannah, Hardeman County, Texas;
  5. John Franklin Scarborough, born 1894; and
  6. L.A. (Dick) Scarborough born 1900.

Silas Scarborough's children by his second marriage to Mrs. Mary Heart were:

  1. King,
  2. Jim (James Daniel)
  3. Paschael (Thomas P.)
  4. Ida (Mary Ida)
  5. Bessie
