Indian Troubles near Clayton from "Know Your Heritage" By Leila B. LaGrone
The first Americans who inhabited what is now Panola County, were of two confederations: the Caddo and the Hasinai. The Sabine River was more or less the dividing line. The Caddo tribes lived from the Sabine northward to the Red River and into the Texarkana area. The Hasinai tribes lived west and south of the Sabine to the Angelina and upper Neches Rivers. Both confederations were settled people who had been living in the region for centuries. Apparently there was a tribe of Hasinai living in the Martin's Creek area and another near Old Trammel's Trace in southwest Panola County. A village of the Caddo confederation was in the Deadwood vicinity long before the migration began from the United States. Of the "Timber Tribes" of East Texas, there were two main divisions, the most important being Hasinai (ha-see-ni). These were the Indians commonly called Tejas by the Spaniards. There were several tribes of the Tejas. Although they were hunters, they were not fierce and warlike as were the Indians of the plains. Before any European explorers reached Texas, these confederations were friends with each other. Tejas meant "friends" or allies; and this title continued to be used by both Spanish and French in referring to the Hasinai and the name for the state came from Tejas. The Spaniards first named the land between Sabine and Angelina River "Texas" but later they expanded the territory to the Brazos, and still later, to the Rio Grande. In the early 1800's the Cherokee Indians, from their original home in the western Alleghenies, migrated to East Texas. They settled principally in Cherokee County, but some wandered into Panola and Rusk Counties. The first American settlers in Panola County were not disturbed by the Caddo nor Hasinai tribes. The bountiful supply of wild game made life encouraging for the pioneer settlements until after the Texas Independence. In 1837, the year after the Battle of San Jacinto, Mexican agents incited the Cherokees to hatred toward the settlers. The Cherokees were able to enlist the Caddoes as Allies and together they made attacks on many unprotected settlements. In February, 1837, an Indian attack hit the REED-HERRIN settlement near Clayton. In a skirmish with some half-dozen families in this settlement ISAAC REED JR., son of a founder of the settlement, was shot. When the Indians had become especially active, ISAAC REED had built a fort for protection of his settlement. When the news spread about Indian unrest, the settlers in the REED-HERRIN area moved into REED'S Fort. One evening the men went out to scout the countryside to see the damage done by Indians. They found a band stealing corn from REED'S son-in-law, HOUGH SHEPPARD. In the confrontation which followed, ISAAC REED JR., was mortally wounded. He killed the Indian who shot him and the body was found the next morning, and though REED was brought into the fort, he died during the night. He was wrapped in a blanket (or quilt) and buried, the first grave in Old Bethel Cemetery, near the REED home.PANOLA WATCHMAN, CARTHAGE, TEXAS, MAY 11, 1975

William Charles "Chuck" Sutlive, Jr. of East Texas, son of Robbie Jewel Fort Sutlive of Deberry, Texas
Funeral services for William Charles ("Chuck") Sutlive, Jr., 59, of El Paso, TX, were held Sunday, September 16, 2012, at Peaceful Garden Funeral Home in Pecos, TX.
Born March 5, 1953 in Marshall, Texas, the son of Robbie (Fort) Sutlive and William Charles Sutlive, Sr., Chuck passed away Friday, September 14, 2012 at Kindred Hospital in El Paso, Texas, following an extended bout with diabetes and complications from that disease. Interment was in Mt. Evergreen Cemetery in Pecos, where several members of his wife's family are buried.
He was preceded in death by his father and his grandparents. His mother, Sutlive, Robbie Jewel Fort, 1929- , worked with Dr. V.M. Holland on the historical records of East Texas. She is a member of Daughters of Texas Republic, United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC). Her major work was her own family: "Robbie Fort Sutlive's genealogical collection." Contents: v. 1. James Sutlive and his descendants - v. 2. John Wesley Sutlive and his descendants, 1789 forward - v. 3. California J. Sutlive, daughter of John Wesley Sutlive, Sr. - v. 4. Mary (Polly) Catherine Sutlive Nading. Her research into the Sutlive, Nading, Moore, Gray, Henderson, and related families. She also complied three other works related to her family interests:
Register of deaths, Panola County, Texas, 1903-1917 Sutlive, Robbie Jewel Fort, 1929-
Walnut Springs Baptist Church and cemetery Sutlive, Robbie Jewel Fort, 1929-
Walnut Springs Cemetery Sutlive, Robbie Jewel Fort, 1929-
Mr. Sutlive attended Carthage Public Schools and graduated from Karnack High School in Karnack, TX with the class of 1972. He graduated from Panola College and attended Stephen F. Austin University for three semesters, majoring in journalism.
Chuck was exceptionally talented in writing and enjoyed covering sports events.
He worked in various capacities for several newspapers in Texas and Louisiana, including the Panola Watchman and the Panola Post in Carthage, as well as newspapers in Livingston, Katy, Marlin, Marshall, Pecos, Plano, Dallas and Atlanta, Texas. He also served on the staff of publishers in Vivian and Oil City, Louisiana.
He was a former policeman with the Pecos Police Department and served as a deputy with the Reeves County Sheriff's Office. He was employed with the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) for the past 15 years. He retired in 2012 due to complications from diabetes.
Chuck was an avid hunter and fisherman and was extremely knowledgeable about firearms. He was often contacted by other gun enthusiasts for information about the mechanism of all types of firearms. He was a very reliable source on that subject. He also enjoyed horseback riding and had received numerous awards in riding events while growing up in his beloved East Texas.
He accepted Jesus Christ as his Saviour when he was eight years old and joined the Shady Grove Baptist Church, near DeBerry. He later united with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Marshall in 1975. Chuck had a strong Christian faith which he shared with his family and friends. He was a man of deep integrity and honesty. As a child, he would choose to tell the truth and accept his punishment, rather than tell a fib and escape discipline. Those characteristics remained a part of his personality for his entire life.
Survivors include his wife, the former Maby Hortencia DeLaGarza, of El Paso; one daughter, Briana Yvette (Sutlive) McRoy and husband, Casey, also of El Paso; one son, William Charles Sutlive, III; grandchildren, Alana and Casey McRoy, Jr., all of El Paso; his mother, Mrs. Robbie Sutlive of De Berry; and two brothers, Gary Lynn Sutlive and wife Dawn of Henderson and Jerry Glynn Sutlive of DeBerry; niece Cary Lynnita (Sutlive) Peterson and her husband, Jalon Peterson of Nacogdoches; one nephew, Derek Heath Sutlive and wife Kristin, of Henderson; numerous cousins and a host of friends who will miss him and mourn his death.
Pallbearers included Gary Sutlive, Jerry Sutlive, William Charles Sutlive, III, Casey McRoy, Sr., Edel DeLaGarza, and Manuel DeLaGarza.
