Notes |
- The biography of his son Edgar in the Historical Review of South-East Texas says that he was born in Georgia, though this seems to be an error, perhaps for his own father William or another Tomlinson. This biography say of Augustus:
"Augustus A. Tomlinson, a native son of Georgia, when a young man in 1849 made the overland trip to California, and later returning to Louisiana he was an overseer on a sugar plantation there for a few years or until moving with his young wife to Marshall [Harrison Co.], Texas, where he became identified with wholesale and retail mercantile pursuits. In 1860 he joined the Texas Rangers, and he was stationed at Ringgold Barracks when the Civil war was inaugurated. Enlisting in the Confederate army, he served until the close of the war, and was made captain of the scouts in Colonel T. B. Likens' Regiment. In 1865 he resumed his mercantile pursuits at Harrisburg [In Houston], and he continued there for several years, but his death occurred at Bellville on the 3d of July, 1898, when sixty-eight years of age."
In the 1860 census for him—his wife is not in this household—there is a T.R. Hartman in his household, an attorney-at-law, aged 22 (b. abt. 1838). Presumably he was a relative of his wife's.
His wife does not seem to be living with him in the 1860 or 1870 census, and in 1870 the only child living with him was Willie Ruben. Apparently they were living apart at the moment. In these two censuses he was also living with his step-family the Farrows, with whom he was apparently in business (at least, in 1870 they had the same profession, "stock dealer"). In 1880 he was living in his son Edgar's household, this time with his wife. [5]
