Marriage records, Mills County, Iowa: No. 587, p.24:
"I, A.H. Shaffer, a Minister of the Gospel, do hereby certify that I
did, on the 18th day of October 1866, join in the Bonds of Matrimony,
Samuel Meadows and Catharine Buffington at Mother Buffingtons.
(signed) A.H. Shaffer
rom "Mills County, Iowa," published by Mills County History Book
Committee, Library of Congress number 85-63076:
Samuel Porter Meadows was born in Bristol, Washington County, Virginia
15 September 1816 to Joel Meadows and Hannah Porter. He was the eighth
child of twelve, his brothers and sisters were David, Polly, Joel Jr,
Martha, Miles, William, Isaac, Sarah Ann, Lucinda, Isabel and James.
When Samuel was about fifteen his mother died and his father married
Elizabeth Brown. Samuel's half brothers and sisters were Rebecca,
Frances, Louisa, Newland, Abner, Elizabeth, John and reportedly,
another. Samuel, some of his brothers and a sister were not compatible
with their new mother so Joel, Miles, Samuel, Isaac and Lucy moved to
Missouri.
Samuel married Elizabeth P. Hill 1 February 1842. She was born 27
April 1818. Samuel and Elizabeth had six children.
Samuel and his brother Isaac moved their families to Mills County in
1853. According to a deed the family has Samuel bought land in Oak
Township, Mills County from the Government for $1.25 an acre.
Soon after the death of his wife Elizabeth on 23 February, 1866,
Samuel's daughters were married. He became very lonely so he asked a
lady in the neighborhood if she would marry him. She accepted, so
Samuel and Catherine Buffington were married 18 October 1866 without
the usual courtship. Catherine was born 6 June 1833 in Meigs County
Ohio, the daughter of Hezekiah Buffington and Elizabeth Barringer.
Samuel and Catherine had two daughters.
Charlotte May was born 10 September 1867, she married William Henry
Rowe 11 December 1890, she died 12 July 1958.
Nellie Porter was born 18 September 1875, she married Thomas James
McGarry 29 March 1899, she died 23 March 1907.
Samuel was a farmer and introduced some of the first purebred cattle to
the area. He enjoyed singing and directed the choir in the West
Liberty Church where he attended regularly. Paul Rowe had the tuning
fork Samuel used. Over the years Samuel and Catherine's home served as
a foster home for many children.
Catherine wrote diaries, collectively known as "Kate's Journal," that
have been preserved and handed down in the family. Her Journal gives
genealogists valuable information about her relatives and neighboring
families. Through it we get a glimpse of her feelings and actions.
Her talent for keeping a diary has been handed down to a few of her
descendants.
Just as May was starting at Tabor College, Samuel became ill and she
was called home. Samuel died 2 October 1884. Catherine lived on the
home farm until her death 22 September 1902. They are both buried in
West Liberty Cemetery."

Hill. In 1853 Sam, Elizabeth, Issac (sic), Sam's brother, and wife
Rhoda Warren, decided to try homesteading in Iowa. They bought farms
in Oak township, Mills County from the government for $1.25 per acre.
The two families became part of the community of West Liberty and
helped organize a Methodist Class which met in homes and groves until a
school house was built.

another man who wrote flowery and passionate love letters but was
traveling in Missouri. Catherine kept a journal but never mentioned
the proposal, on the eve of her marriage she wrote. "Tomorrow I am to
launch on the uncertain and dreary sea of matrimony." They were
married October 18, 1866.

journal were less melancholy, writing late in 1869, "My husband is
better to me than I could ask."

He was the first sheriff of Orange County, Florida.
[612]
Sir William Percy K.B., had iss
Born ca 1833 Alachua Co., Fla. to David & Mary(Pearce) Mizell. Widow
Angeline pensioned Orange Co., Fla.1908
Co. G 8th Fla. Inf.
David W. Mizell was 36 years old when he died.
At the time of his death, he was sheriff of Orange County during the
post-Civil War - Reconstruction era. In many ways, he represent the law
imposed on the South by the North (even though he was born in Georgia).
As such, there were men in Orange County who opposed much of what he
stood for. Because of this ill-will and a series disagreements between
the Mizell family (David's brother was a county judge, as well) and the
Barber Family, David Mizell was gunned down as he rode towards the
Barber Family land in what is today, southern Osceola County.
David Mizell is the only Orange County Sheriff to lose his life while
doing his job. And because of the murder, as well as the feud between
the Barbers and the Mizells, eight Barber Family members or associates
died in retribution.
The Barber/Mizell Feud
Moses Barber came from Georgia in 1833 and first settled just north of
McClenney Fla. Moses was often referred to as "the Indian fighter who
chased the Seminoles south of the Georgia Bend." He once had so many
dogs, that it took a whole steer per day to feed them. Moses became a
cattleman, and by 1860 was worth 21,400 in land, and 116,180 dollars in
other property, in addition to owning 100 slaves. By today's standards,
he was a wealthy man.
During the Battle of Olustee, the Yankees confiscated almost all of his
property, including most of his cattle herds for food, then freed all
of his slaves. To make matters worse, he had lost his son Isaac in the
civil war. Moses packed up what he had left, and moved to the Kissimmee
basin. He acquired some large tracts of land and soon had some large
cattle herds.
The Barbers were very active in the early citrus and cattle industry in
Central Florida. During reconstruction, the Mizell family moved in, and
through "politics" became the most powerful men in local government, in
Orange County, during, and after, Reconstruction. The Barbers did not
like the Federal Government, and resented the Mizell's power over
cattlemen. On the other hand, the Mizells saw the Barbers as powerful
in their cattle and land holdings.
The local officials from the Reconstruction government [and of Mizell
influence] harassed the Barbers, namely Jack. Barbers were often being
brought to court on fabricated charges, often for fines for failing to
pay cattle taxes. The cattle tax was unfair, very high, and the Barbers
had a lot of cattle. But when they failed to fully pay their tax, they
were fined outrageous amounts. Often, cowmen would have to sell their
herds just to pay off these fines to the local officials. In almost all
cases, a Mizell was behind the taxation and fines. At one time Jack
Barber was imprisoned for [what appears to be a failure to pay a fine]
he was in prison at Chattahoochee.
The two families exchanged threats, most came from the Barbers, who
threatened to shoot any Mizell that was found on their range. The
sheriff was a Mizell, and the county judge was a Mizell. The actual
feud began when a prize heifer, named Tater Peelin' , belonging to DEED
BARBER, was found with an altered brand among Morgan Mizell's herd.
DEED BARBER, who was only 14 yrs. old, tried to reclaim his prize
heifer, but he was caught in the process and Sheriff Mizell forced him
to kill and butcher the animal on the spot. Then Sheriff Mizell charged
him with cattle rustling. On February 21, 1870, at Bull Creek, near
Kenansville, not far from the Barber Ranch, Sheriff David Mizell was
shot, he died the next morning at sunrise. NEEDHAM YATES, AND HIS TWO
SONS, along with MOSES BARBER Jr., were blamed for the murder, which
was said to be in revenge for what had happened to DEED BARBER. All the
men, except Moses Barber were rounded up.
While the three men were being escorted to the jail in Orange County,
they were shot [evidently by their captors]. To replace the dead
Sheriff in office, David Stewart was made Sheriff, he was a close
associate of the Mizell clan. Some accounts blame him for shooting the
three Yates men. Then on May 5, 1870, the State issued an indictment
for murder against MOSES BARBER. The following month, Judge Mizell
organized a posse to hunt down the Barber men, this was another act of
revenge by the Mizells. They found Isaac Barber, tied him up to a tree
and shot him dead. 20 shot guns were emptied into Isaac's body, so that
no single shooter could be blamed for the crime. A witness to the
murder managed to escape and went to the Barber homestead to tell
Isaac's wife, Harriett, that her husband had been killed.
The posse then confiscated Barber cattle. Mose, Jack, and Little Mose
escaped the posse by riding through Shingle Creek Ford, so as to leave
no hoof prints, [this is now called Boggy Creek, south of the Orlando
International Airport] But, later Little Moses was captured. The posse
tied him up, put him in a large croaker sack, weighted with plowshares,
then threw him into Lake Conway. He surfaced several times, almost
escaped, but eventually they shot him and he went to the bottom of the
lake. ANOTHER STORY, SAYS HE WAS THROWN INTO A POND OFF SOUTH FERN
CREEK IN ORLANDO.
Moses and Jack Barber left the area, they said they were going to
Texas, but some say that they only made it as far as West Florida. We
know that Andrew [JACK] Barber came back, because he died in Florida in
1916. The feud lasted for 20 years, some say longer, a few say it is
still going on.
OTHER NOTES: Moses Barber ran cattle in Orange, Osceola, Brevard, and
Palm Beach Counties. His center of operations seems to have been
Kissimmee. He often drove cattle north through Volusia County, now
called the town of Barberville.
Some other Barbers, Carl Barber, oldest son of Joe Barber, was born in
Conway in 1887, he was the first to ship live beeves by rail in the
1920s. He was instrumental in the cattle tick eradication program. In
1956, he organized the mid-Florida livestock auction market in Orlando.
Many barber men belonged to the Masonic lodge and to the Oddfellows.
Barbers were active in both the citrus and cattle industries. Andrew
Jackson Barber [born in 1839] served in the federal army during the
Seminole war, he was one of the few men stationed at Fort Christmas. In
1855 he returned to central Florida and settled on lake Conway, at the
Daetwyler place. His 1st wife was violet roberson 1859, she died, he
married 2nd wife, Anna Hull, in 1894, she was the daughter of William
Hull.
