- Gabriel Bumpas Stockton
By James E. Stockton
Gabriel Bumpas Stockton, who was obviously named for his mothers uncle Gabriel Bumpas and was Douglas Hayden's and Emily's first born, was born 30 July 1820 in Lawrenceburg, Lawrence County, Tennessee. He moved with his mother and brothers and sisters to Texas in 1841. Sometime later he apparently moved to Mississippi where story has it Douglas Hayden and Emily owned land (Mrs. Cherry says "plantation" in her book). He married Sarah Jane MCLEAN in Tippah County, Mississippi 10 October 1847.
Gabriel and Sarah remained in Mississippi for a time before moving to Washington County, Texas to rejoin his mother and siblings. Their first child Emily Marcella was born in Tippah County, Mississippi 4 July 1849. Douglas Hayden and William Gilbert, twins, along with their younger sister Nancy Jane were born in Washington County, Texas, the twins 7 November 1851 and Nancy 7 August 1854. By the time the 5th child James Gilbert was born, 16 February 1856, the family had moved to Guadalupe County, Texas.
Gabriel B. Stockton was granted a "Soldiers Discharge" and was "Honorably Discharged" from the "Army of the Confederate States" on 27 March 1865 having enlisted in March 1862 in Company D, 32nd Regiment, Texas Infantry.
Gabriel donated land for a cemetery in Guadalupe County near the community of "Old Nixon" located on FM 1150. The community was named for Robert T. Nixon and became known as Old Nixon after another town in Gonzales County took the name Nixon. The earliest documented grave in the cemetery, that was originally known as the Stockton Cemetery, was that of Nancy McLean (1802-1867). This was probably Sarah Jane (MCLEAN) Stockton's mother. A Texas Historical Marker was dedicated at the Old Nixon Cemetery 28 April 1990.
Gabriel Bumpas Stockton died 13 November 1883 at the age of 63 years 3 months and 14 days. He is buried at Florence, Williamson County, Texas. Sarah Jane (MCLEAN) Stockton died 4 July 1904 at the age of 74 years 10 months and 11 days and is also buried at Florence.
