[ged_file]

Martin Bender was living Craven Co., NC at the time Thomas
Eubanks, Sr. received his land grant. There is no wife listed in his
will, so I do not at this time know who she was. One of his sons and a
daughter married a daughter and son of John Eubanks, Thomas, Sr.'s son.
Thomas, Jr., from whom we decended, moved on into Onslow Co. and raised
his family there.

Martin Bender was of German decent, and when I tried to trace his passage
to America, I found about twenty men named Martin Bender. Will continue
to try and locate his information, though.

Midge Hornsby was told that Charlotta was shot by the Confederate search
party in their area, during the Civil War. It seems that some of the
Douglas Cousins, and possibly Elijah Newton Thaddaus were hiding out in a
cave that was dug out in the side of a creek bed. She would carry a york
with water pails down to the creek to get water every day. She would
carry food for them in the buckets going, and then fill with water and
come back. She was walking back one day, and a search party saw her
walking through some tall grass, and because she had on a man's hat,
thought she was a deserter. It is said that they yelled for her to stop,
but she kept walking, and some one shot her so close to the head, that it
creased her scull over her ear. When she died and they were preparing
her for burial, the scar was found as they fixed her hair.
Charlotta's middle name has been seen as Saper, Sapperine, Susanne..
unsure at this time which is correct ?

Note for:   Thomas Melton Eubanks,   ABT 1924 - 5 JUL 1986         Index

Individual Note:
     Thomas Melton, Jr. was a pilot in WW II, and a hero. There is an article in the Pine Bluff Newspaper with a picture of him. He held the rank of Staff Sergeant. His airplane was hit and he had to bail out over the country of Yugoslavia. He was captured and held in a prisoner of war camp near Hanover, where he was liberated by the British Second Army.

He came home after the war and went to dental school and became a dentist in Pine Bluff. He was in a car accident and became partially crippled. He later developed a brain aneurysm that ruptured, leaving him with paralysis, involving his left arm and it affecting his gait (walking) and his speech and these health problems led to him having to give up his dental practice.
