farming, and since that time he has been engaged
in surveying and locating land on the
frontier. On one occasion a party of seventeen
men, to which he was attached, was entirely
broken up by a large number of Indians
at the head of the Concho river, in
which engagement Colonel Dalrymple received,
at close quarters, a severe spear
wound.
The parents of our subject were James
and Rosanna (Dawd) Dalryinple, the former
born in Scotland in 1763, the latter in North
Carolina in 1774. Our subject is the only
one of ten children now living, and also survives
his beloved wife, who died January 24,
1869, having been a most estimable and
noble woman. The four children born to
their union are as follows: Jenett, an honored
resident of Georgetown, whose unselfish
devotion to her father and aunt in their
declining years is most beautiful; Sallie, who
died unmarried, at the age of twenty-eight
years; James, residing on a farm in Uvalde
county, Texas, married Jane Patton; and
William T., an attorney at Llano, married
Alice Houghton.
Mr. Dalrymple is now near the sunset of
a long, eventful and useful life. He is palsied
and walks with measured tread. During
his life in the State he has seen much of
the development of Texas, and has aided
those of his day in opening the frontier and
preparing the way for civilization, and has
contributed to the progress which the present
generation now enjoys.
The parents of Mrs. Dalrymple were John
and Anna (Pugh) Wilbarger, and came from
Pike county, Missouri, to Bastrop county,
Texas, in 1837. By his first marriage Mr.
Wilbarger had eight children, namely: Josiab,
who came to Texas in 1827, ten years
before the remainder of the family, and wasscalped by Indians not far from the present
site of Austin; he survived the outrage, but
died about 1845, his widow still resides in
Bastrop, and is .now Mrs. Chambers; the next
child, Margaret, married William Clifton
after coming to Texas, but both she and her
husband are deceased; Sallie, a resident of
Georgetown, came to Texas with her parents
in 1837, was married, and is now living at
the advanced age of eighty-eight years, her
faculties being well preserved; Mathias,
father of MIrs. Dr. Walker; Elizabeth, deceased,
was the wife of W. C. Dalrymple,
who is now an honored citizen of Georgetown;
John Wesley, deceased, married Lucy
Anderson, and his wife now resides near
Round Rock: he was the author of a work
called Indian Depredations in Texas; the
next child, Harvey, was a farmer and died in
Missouri, never coming to Texas; and the
youngest child was Mary. By his second
marriage Mr. John Wilbarger had two daughters:
Susan, afterward Mrs. Willis King,
now deceased, who never came to Texas; and
Ann, who became Mrs. Samuel King, marrying
a brother of her sister's husband. This
is one of the oldest, best known and highly
respected pioneer families in this portion of
Texas.
