{ 1996 Note: " Latta Family Newsletter" In Vol. 1 No:2 Summer 1978, Page 7; By Connie McD. Latta She writes. John Latta (4 John Steward (3) Latta) was born in York
District, S.C. the son of Thomas Latta (2 Thomas (2) Latta) and Martha Neely. He was the grandson of John Latta (1 John (1) Latta) (1727-1795) who settled in York District

Thomas (2) John (1). Born February 23, 1790 in York District, S.C.; d. at Ft. Smith, home of son James, October 2, 1861. His date of death is debated. Some family members stated it was October 3.

John was like his brother Samuel in build and looks. Was a terror to evil doers in his early days and was a man of integrity. Lived two years in Tenn.  The Latta records states that "on the long road from South Carolina to Arksanas, traveling in slow wagons over roads that today we would consider impassable, John Latta brought with him to his western wilderness a library of books that exceed that found in many homes today."  This family record also states that "Cane Hill College was organized in 1833  in the living room of the old Latta home at Vineyard, near Evansville, and later established in a two room log schoolhouse on a hill above the present Cane Hill."  Chronicles of Oklahoma, page 288.  About 1828, moved to Cane Hill, Arkansas, with his negro slaves, and built a plantation and industrial plant which he called "The Lord's Vineyard."  Then returned for his family. Blacksmith and farmer.  Reared a large family, set up a blacksmith shop, and furniture manufacturing plant.  Some of his family were skilled blacksmiths, furniture makers, peace officers, ministers of the Gospel, teachers, and farmers.  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. Box 306 Prairie Grove AR 72753 (501) 846-2990}. When John died, his daughter-in-law, Hattie (wife of James Eudorus Latta), had his body packed in ice, and with the assistance of Andrew Jackson Latta and two other men, she hauled the body by wagon over the Boston Mountains. They completed the 50 mile trip sometime after midnight and buried Latta at 2:00 a.m. The precise date of the burial is uncertain.

THE ARKANSAS NEWS (1836-1860), Spring 1986 ed. states: "Vineyard Woman Will Try Sewing Job with Indians" - VINEYARD - This just in from our Washington County correspondent reporting on a recent conversation with Mattie Latta of Vineyard, Arkansas. Mattie says she has decided to try living away from home for a year. She has an offer to go to a religious mission in the Indian Nation to serve as a seamstress for $100 per year. Rooms are furnished. There is little way, she says, for a girl to make anything here without particular employment such as teaching school, painting, or drawing. Since she can do none of these, Mattie has decided to sew. After a time, she hopes to have enough money to visit relatives in South Carolina. Mattie is the daughter of John and Hattie Latta. http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:PWZYef-bqRQJ:www.oldstatehouse.com/pdf/Vol%

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.

"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
