According to information compiled from the records of the late William Malcolm Latta of Nashville, James M. Latta immigrated to America with his four brothers from County Donegal, Londonderry, North Ireland in 1738. Landing at Baltimore, they first settled near Elkton, Maryland. Once settled, James returned to Ireland to fetch his second wife Mary Allison and four sons: Samuel, William, John, and James (the only child by his second wife.) They resettled with his brothers in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, near Lancaster.

On May 26, 1788, the Commissioners of the Treasury of South Carolina delivered to John Latta, Sr. an indented certificate for the sum of thirteen pounds, seven shillings as payment for the flour. There is enclosed a copy of a memorial land title dated October 15, 1763 by John Latta of a "plantation or tract of land....200 acres.....stationed on the mouth of the fork of Fishing Creek...." From the book "Early Records of Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church" by Brent H. Holcomb, he is noted as one of the first elders ca 1770. He is buried in the Old Waxhaw Cemetery in Lancaster County, South Carolina. The inscription on his tombstone says "John Latta/Lay Elder of Waxhaw/Congregation died/Jan. 9th 1795.

He then returned for the family and took them to Arkansas in 1833. After establishing rights to the land that would be named Vineyard, the Latta family, along with two black slaves, Dan and Ben, completed a nearly self-sufficient compound. The Vineyard was the site of Washington County, Arkansas, second post office, established February 21, 1829, with the name and location changed to Evansville in 1837. The log home built by John has been moved and can be seen at Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. Served in the Confederate Army in the Civil War. In the Book " The Lord's Vineyard" Page 54, Old Chief Starr of the Cherokees, who visited the Latta home claimed to be related to Jane Starr.  {1996 note: the Log home built by this John Latta can be seen at: Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park, P.O.

THE ARKANSAS NEWS (1836-1860) Spring 1986 ed. "Burial for Latta Requires Long Trip Through Mountains" - VAN BUREN - John Latta, pioneer settler of Vineyard, Arkansas, died here in October, 1861.  He had lived with his son and daughter-in-law, Jim and Hattie, and their family, in Van Buren for some months prior to his death.  He had been in poor health much of that time.  His condition worsened toward the end of September as the weather changed, and in early October he died after much discomfort.  As Hattie Latta stood over him toward the end, she noted the time of his passing at 15 minutes before 11 p.m.  She stooped to close his eyes and repeated the lines, "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep."  John Latta's late wife, Jane Starr Latta, lies buried in the Old Academy Cemetery near Vineyard.  Against the advice of friends who were concerned for reasons of safety, Hattie, her husband away from home because of the war, determined to bury Latta next to his wife's grave.  Hattie packed the body in ice, left her baby with the mammy, took her brother-in-law and two Negro men and hauled the ice-packed body in a wagon over the Boston Mountains to the cemetery.  It is a distance of nearly 50 miles.  A Negro man had been sent ahead on horseback to notify Vineyard relatives to prepare the grave and summon the preacher.  After a long and lonely trip, the small group from Van Buren reached the grave site some days after departure.  It was past midnight when they finally arrived.  The mourners placed tallow-dip candles beside the grave and buried Latta at 2 a.m.  Latta is survived by 11 children and numerous grandchildren.

     Samuel (4) Thomas (3) John (2) John (1).  Born April 14, 1820 at Duck River, Maury Co., Tenn.  Died at Dodd City, Texas on September 9, 1908; m. Emily Chandler, daughter of Jacob Chandler and Elizabeth Reeder Chandler at Vineyard, Washington Co., Ark. on March 4, 1841.  She was born April 5, 1816 at Illinois (Chandler Family Bible), and died Feb. 16, 1897 in Dodd City, TX. Thomas was a farmer.  Went to Fannin Co., Texas in 1843, where they farmed near Dodd City.  They are both buried in the Dodd City Cemetery, Fannin County, Texas.  ***Jacob Chandler did not come to Arkansas until about 1819 and went first to Clark Co., AR. From there he went briefly to Miller Co. AR which at that time extended into what is now SE Oklahoma. In 1825 the white residents of that area were required to move as the land had been ceded to the Choctaw Indians.  Chandler returned briefly to Clark Co. AR, but was in Washington Co. by the 1829 Sheriff's census. In Illinois, they lived in Grand Tower which was at that time part of Randolph Co., but is now Jackson Co., IL. Emily Chandler Latta was the sister of my g-grandfather Preston Chandler. I have a copy of the Chandler Bible with the birth dates in it. The 1850 census of Fannin Co. is the only census in which the correct birth place is given for Emily Chandler Latta. Her sister Unity (Eunetta on your web page - Unity in the family Bible) was born in Washington Co. AR, not Fannin Co., TX. She never lived in Texas. She and John Leander Latta were married in Washington Co. 20 Oct 1853 and she died 3 years later 21 Nov 1856 in Washington County, AR (dates from Family Bible).Janelle Swearingen, Bixby, OK, janellesw@cox.net

She was the daughter of Arjelon Price and Lucy Ann Edwards.  In 1854 a schoolhouse was built in Orestimba. In 1876 a congregation of Presbyterians organized by the Reverend Eli Latta started meeting in this school.   The old Orestimba School was later moved into Newman. It is located north of the Newman library. It looks like a new school and is being used as a Pre-School.  The Crows formed the first private school on the banks of the Orestimba Creek which also was used as a church by the circuit rider preacher Eli Latta. Aunt Emma Crow writes about Mr. Latta in her 1892 diary.

"A description of a California meeting held by the Rev. E. C. Latta, another faithful Cumberland Presbyterian pioneer on the Pacific coast, will give the reader an idea of the difficulties under which the first preachers in that country sometimes labored.  Latta was earning his bread by hunting.  A hotel at which he boarded bought his venison.  He got permission from Jim, the hotel keeper, to have preaching at the bar-room.  When Sabbath came the only two women in all the country came to the meeting.  Gamblers, too, were there, busy at their cards.  Latta interrupted their games, saying, "Boys, it's my put in now.  Jim says I may preach in this room.  Just mark your place and wait till I preach."  And then, without preliminaries, he began his sermon.  When the sermon was over the gamblers returned to their cards."  http://www.cumberland.org/hfcpc/mcdonold/30-36.htm
