Shared Stories: Southlake, Denton County and the Wild
West, 1840-1878
In the early days of Texas, the frontier was wide open; colorful characters and their exploits
didn't stop at the county line. There weren't many lines. This was the West.
Denton County came first, established in 1846, and Tarrant County came two years later. South-
lake straddles both, so the stories of John B. Denton, John Simpson Chusum, Sam Bass, the
women who built Chinn's Chapel, Judge Joe Carroll, Santana, Dot Babb and others are South-
lake's stories, too.
"Shared Stories: Southlake, Denton and the Wild West, 1840-1878" shows the history of our
area through the eyes of some of the most intrepid cattle barons, vigilantes, hanging judges,
pioneer women and Comanche in these parts.
It will capture people's imaginations and entertain them with stories, photographs, maps, histori-
cal art and artifacts of real-life events.
1.Setting the scene
Illustration shown: Denton County 1936 Denton County Historical Map
The Eastern Cross Timbers is a long, narrow strip of
dense forest stretching from the Red River to just
north of Waco: A narrow band of blackjack and post
oak separates the region of Black Prairies on the east
from the Grand Prairies on the west. A strip of sandy
land from two to fifteen miles wide extending from
southern Oklahoma to the Hill County. Deciduous
hardwood trees with prairie scattered throughout.
In 1840, there were no settlers. Nomadic Native
Americans hunted buffalo.
Anglo settlers began to trickle in around 1843. Once
established in 1846, Denton County measured ap-
prox. 30 square miles.
Other counties in the area were forming, and set -
tlers began to think of themselves as residents of
Denton, Dallas, Collin or Tarrant counties.
Area counties were ideally suited to pioneer subsis-
3A - 5
tence farming and cattle grazing.
2.Native Americans
Illustrations shown: Nomadic Indian trails, photograph of bison and photograph of Native
American, Santana
For centuries, nomadic Native Americans hunted
and camped in what later would be named Denton
County.
The Republic of Texas was rich in land but lacking
in population and therefore anxious to promote
Anglo immigration to the country. Indians were
cleared out to make way for Anglo settlements.
Until the 1870s, Denton County residents were
kept on edge by rumors and reports of Indians who
stole horses, cattle and sometimes women and
children. Overall, the area was relatively un-
scathed by Indians. The fear was mostly in the
minds of the settlers, but kidnappings were real:
Bianca Babb was 10 years old when she was taken
by the Comanche and held for two years before
being ransomed. She lived some of her life in Den-
ton County and is buried in the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows (IOOF) Cemetery there.
Santanta, the chief who inspired Larry McMurtry’s
Lonesome Dove character, Blue Duck, was brought
through the county around 1870 on his way to the
federal prison in Huntsville to serve out a life sen-
tence for murder. His sentence was later commut-
ed; however, he was subsequently arrested after
taking part in the second Battle of Adobe Walls and
returned to Huntsville. In 1878 he threw himself
from a prison window and died.
3A - 6
3.John Bunyan Denton
Illustration shown: John Bunyan Denton
Most of the fighting between Indians and
settlers was carried on not by rangers or the
army, but by bands of settlers hurriedly
formed into forces that resembled depu-
tized posses. In 1841 a group of men that
included Gen. Edward H. Tarrant, Claiborne
Chisum and John Denton rode on a retalia-
tion raid against Indians who had stolen cat-
tle at the city limits that today join Arling-
ton and Fort Worth. The Indian grass huts
were burned at the Battle of Village Creek
and some livestock was recovered. John B.
Denton – a minister, lawyer, politician, farm
and Indian fighting militiaman – was killed.
He was buried near Justin. After 1850, when
a county and city were named for him, Denton’s remains were moved to Bolivar by John Simp-
son Chisum, whose father fought in the battle and had recounted the stories to his son. In
1901, Denton’s bones were buried on the grounds of the Denton County courthouse.
4.Women, church, and homelife
Illustration: photograph of pioneer woman
Chinn’s Chapel Church is situated within
the Denton County cemetery grounds
and is one of the oldest in Denton County.
The chapel was built at the suggestion of
four of the leading pioneer women of the
community — Mary Chinn, Elizabeth
Pinckley, Jane Wakefield and Mrs. Abra -
ham Loving. They set a day in 1858 to
build the structure and assigned neigh-
bors to cut down and hew a particular
number of logs to bring to the site so that
when the time came for the “church-rais -
ing" everything was ready.
Pioneer farmers built small and some-
times crude dwellings. In the yard of

every home could be found a large iron kettle for cooking. Meat formed the base of their
diet, corn was the ideal subsistence crop feeding both humans and livestock and wild game
and wild fruits and berries were abundant. Women made clothes by hand. Housework includ-
ed endless cooking, floor-scrubbing, baby-tending and more.
Guns and knives were everyday necessities. Farm life was repetitive, hard work and most
people were compelled to rely on their neighbors and friends much more than today. Circuit-
riding ministers served the church. The first Anglo baby born in Denton city was born to
Spencer and Martha Ann Reynolds Graham, who would later move to the Dove community in
now-Southlake.
5.John Simpson Chisum
Illustration shown: photograph of John Simpson Chisum
One of the Southwest’s greatest open-range cattlemen, John
Simpson Chisum established his ranch in 1854 in Bolivar, Texas. His
father, Claiborne Chisum, rode with Gen. Edward Tarrant and John
B. Denton in 1841 in what was to be known as the Battle of Village
Creek. John Chisum later moved to New Mexico. His family includ-
ed Almeady Chisum who called him her father and who later would
marry John Dolford “Bob” Jones and settle in now-Southlake.
6.Law, Rangers, Civil War
Illustration shown: photograph of Judge Carroll
Joseph A. Carroll, who moved to Denton in 1857, was a sec-
ond lieutenant in Captain Otis Welch’s Company E of the
First Chickasaw and Choctaw Mounted Rifles. After the war,
he served as a judge in the Indian Territory of Oklahoma; his
descendants still have a beaded stole given to him by mem-
bers of the Delaware tribe.
Later as a lawyer and judge in Denton County, Carroll came
into contact with plenty of outlaws, men embroiled in land
disputes, drunks, gamblers, cattle rustlers, mule thieves,
bank robbers, shady dealers and killers.
The accused often were brought to town by the Denton
County sheriff or Texas Rangers over roads that at first were
3A - 8
no more than winding paths known as the “old Indian trail,” “buffalo trail” and “ranger
trail.”
Denton was a raucous town with plenty of saloons. It wasn’t unusual for drunken men arrest-
ed during huge melees to fill the rock jail on the east side of the Denton square. In the late
1870s, two brothers thought to be members of a secret organization formed a few years after
the war were tried in Judge Carroll’s court for several mysterious murders and found guilty.
After their appeals were denied, they were hung on the square in Denton as a huge crowd
looked on.
Judge Carroll became one of Denton’s leading citizens, mayor and one of the founders of
Texas Normal College, which today is the University of North Texas.
7.Bob Jones and Almeady Chisum Jones
Illustration shown: Bob and Almeady Jones and their 10 children in front of their home which
was located at the north end of White’s Chapel Blvd.
John Dolford “Bob” Jones, born a slave in 1850 in Arkansas, became a prosperous landowner
in the Roanoke-Southlake area and a well-respected rancher and family man. He was the son
of a white man, Leazer Alvis Jones, and his slave, Elizabeth. The family moved to Texas when
Bob was a child, and during the Civil War, his father returned to his white family in Arkansas.
Young Jones moved closer to Denton Creek and started a cattle and farming operation. At his
death in 1936, he owned between 1,000 and 2,000 acres on the Tarrant-Denton County line.
Much of that land is now under Lake Grapevine. Today Jones is remembered as the namesake
of Southlake’s Bob Jones Road, Bob Jones Park and Bob Jones Nature Center. In 2012, Carroll
ISD’s newest elementary school, Walnut Grove, was named for the one-room, eight-grade
school Jones built for his grandchildren, who could not attend white schools. Bob Jones died
in 1936. He is buried near his mother and other Jones family members in Medlin Cemetery in
present-day Trophy Club.
Almeada Jones was born a slave. She
thought of John Chisum as her father
and grew up in Bonham with her
mother and sisters. When she was a
teenager, she met Jones at a dance in
Bonham, and they were later married
in her sister Harriet’s home. After the
wedding, according to an interview
she gave in 1941, they loaded her pos -
sessions in a covered wagon and came
to their home (in present-day South-
lake) where they had 10 children.

8.Sam Bass
Illustration shown: newspaper clipping of Sam Bass — a rendering of Bass would be created.
Sam Bass came to Denton
in 1872 as a “seemingly a
normal young man” and
worked in a wagon yard.
He became Denton’s best
known outlaw. He got into
horse racing in 1875 when
he acquired a sorrel mare,
the “Denton Mare.” After
becoming a stagecoach,
train and bank robber, the
outlaw returned to Den-
ton County and success-
fully hid for months in
brushy caves near Bolivar
and south of Denton (and
near Roanoke, it’s said).
He was killed in 1878 in
Round Rock, Texas.
Other items and illustrations (but not limited to) that are avail-
able for consideration include:

Bible strapped to a saddle. Currently archived in
the Denton County Museum on the Square,
Denton and available for the exhibit.

Subject: Review Locations for Lyman Whitaker Sculpture
Action
Requested: Southlake Arts Council review of possible locations for artist Lyman
Whitaker’s proposed public art sculpture.
Background
Information: This item is a follow-up to previous agenda discussions and
considerations to commission an art piece for a City park.
The purpose of this discussion is to allow the Arts Council the
opportunity to review a concept proposal for the kinetic art sculpture
to be installed in Rustin Park pavilion area or other alternative sites,
including the previously approved location in Frank Edgar Cornish,
IV Park.
Based on the discussion, Arts Council may wish to direct staff to
place an item on the May 23rd Arts Council meeting agenda to
make a formal recommendation to City Council on a proposed
location for the sculpture.
Presented for Southlake Arts Council discussion is a concept
proposal for a kinetic art sculpture at Rustin Park Pavilion and a
copy of the concept proposal for Frank Edgar Cornish, IV Park.
Financial
Considerations: Funding in the amount of $75,000 for the design and installation of
artwork was approved in the FY 2016 Public Art budget for Phase 1
of the Public Sculpture Program. Funding is also allocated in the FY
2017 Public Art Budget to complete the project. Artist(s) chosen as
the finalist will be granted a $500 stipend to complete a model of
their final concept.
The Call to Artists identified the maximum project budget as
$70,000, with $5,000 being set aside for installation expenses
incurred by the City.

Citizen Input/
Board Review: December 2015 a Call to Artists released
February 9, 2016 Southlake Arts Council reviewed 16 submittals
received from Call; none of the submittals demonstrated an
impressive kinetic movement envisioned for project; therefore the
Call was closed without selection
March 22, 2106 Southlake Arts Council considered options;
recommended working with artist Mark White for the art sculpture
“Swan,” pending demonstration of movement of the piece. Artist
Lyman Whitaker was selected as an alternate artist.
May 23, 2016 Southlake Arts Council reviewed the concept and
video demonstration of the movement of the “Swan” and voted (6-
0) not proceed with the art piece provided by Mark White, and to
explore possible kinetic art piece from alternate artist Lyman
Whitaker
September 27, 2016 Southlake Arts Council reviewed preliminary
concept proposal provided by artist Lyman Whitaker
December 13, 2016 Southlake Arts Council recommendation (5-0)

octagonal base, and that both the circular base and the octagonal
base images will be presented to the City Council
