Alsa B. McCarty married, second, Ann Reddick, born February 13, 1825 in Gates County, North Carolina. She died July 20, 1897 and is buried in the McCarty Cemetery in San Saba County, Texas. (Dates from tombstone.) They were married in Dale County, Alabama, but dates are not available as the courthouse burned in 1884. See Riddick Family history.
Ann Reddick descended from a long line of Riddicks who settled in Virginia and then overflowed into North Carolina, Gates, Perquemans and Chawan Counties, especially. Her parents moved to Georgia about 1838, and after her parents' death the children moved to Alabama. She was a "seamstress" and had a hat and dress making shop in Daleville before her marriage. After Alsa's death in 1871 she and the children tried to continue farming but finally sold the farm and moved to Texas about 1878. She lived in Nacogdoches County, and then in Limestone County for a few years, when her son Bruce and family moved to Mason County about 1882 she moved there, too. Ann bought 60 acres of land in Mason County, near Katemcy November 12, 1884 and lived there until November 21, 1891 when she sold it and moved to San Saba County where her son Bruce had moved in 1888. Here she and her daughter Clara lived in a little house near her son until her death in 1897.
Ann spelled her name "Reddick," but her brothers, John Frank and Elisha and her sisters Esther and Elizabeth retained the old spelling "Riddick," as do their descendants today. Alsa and Ann's children: Florence Mahala, John Franklin, Clara, Robert Bruce, Joanna Cleveland, Callie, Roscoe Philip, Evalina.
994. Florence Mahala McCarty (775) was born February 22, 1852 in Dale County, Alabama and died July 29, 1929. She is buried at McLean, Texas. She was named Mahala for her grandmother, Mahala Boddie McCarty. Florence married August 6, 1871 at Beulah Methodist Church, Dale County, Alabama, to John Alexander Bateman. He was born January 17, 1849 in Alabama, died in 1908 and is buried in Monument, New Mexico. Children: Clarence Lindon, Anderson Green, James Franklin, Arthur Lee, Roscoe Phillip, Mary Lizzie.
995. John Franklin McCarty (775) was born July 7, 1854 in Dale County, Alabama. He died November 4, 1930 and is buried in a cemetery between San Benito and Rio Hondo, Texas. He married his first cousin Elizabeth Evalina Trammell (1720), daughter of Mary Ann McCarty and Dr. Francis Marcellus Trammell, December 11, 1878 in Dale County. Evalina was born December 28, 1844 in Georgia and died October 17, 1925 at San Benito, Texas. She is buried beside her husband near San Benito, Texas. John was living at Forest Glade, a town then in Limestone County, near Mexia at the time of his marriage. He and his bride returned there from Alabama but remained only briefly. John was working on a cattle ranch at that time and gradually worked his way north and west to Palo Pinto, Parker, Stephens, and Shackelford counties. In 1900 on a prospecting trip he bought four sections of land in Floyd County, and later he bought land in other counties. He left his wife in Weatherford, Texas, where his daughter was in college, and he and his two sons drove his cattle to his new ranch in Floyd County. Then he built a house and settled his family there. In 1924 he saw a "Pot of Gold" in the Rio Grande Valley citrus land and sold all of his property and moved to Cameron County, Texas, to begin anew, in the very sunset of his life. He had followed many big business ventures through the years, those dealing with cattle, hogs, insecticides, and had lost heavily through the years. But he knew this move was to be the best of all.
The long move, the make-shift home on uncleared land, the leaving her home of so many years, the change of climate and environment were all too much for his 80-year-old wife. In less than eight months she was dead. Children of John and Evalina: Marcella, John William, Philip Edgar.
About 1928 John McCarty married Mrs. Mary B. Faulkner, a woman who had nursed him though an illness and they lived in his valley home until his death.
(No record of this marriage has been found.)
996. Clara McCarty (775) was born in Dale County, Alabama, about 1856. As the family Bible was lost years ago, no record of this child is available. However, she died before 1870, as she does not appear in that census. She lived to be old enough to make her own doll clothes, as her mother kept a doll she had dressed. Clara is buried in the McCarty Cemetery in Dale County. No marker.
997. Robert Bruce McCarty (775) was born June 5 1858 in Dale County, Alabama. He died March 9, 1926 and is buried in the McCarty Cemetery on the McCarty farm in San Saba County, Texas. He married Florence Ann Whitehead at Grosebeck, Limestone County, Texas, December 23, 1879. She was born May 8, 1851 in Dale County and died August 16, 1903. She is buried in the McCarty Cemetery in San Saba County. Both have markers.
Robert Bruce and Florence Ann probably knew each other in Alabama. Their families came to Texas about the same time, and both settled in Limestone County. Florence Ann's family was opposed to her marriage to Bruce, and they eloped. They lived for one year in Limestone County, and then about 1880 they moved to Palo Pinto County. Briefly they lived in Johnson County, and then for some five or six years they made their home in Mason County. From there they moved to San Saba County, by way of McCulloch County, where they bought land, in 1888, adding to their acreage yearly until they owned some 1500 acres of rich farm land. Robert Bruce was the first person in that part of the State to plant fruit orchards on a large scale with great success. However, revenue came mostly from growing cotton.
Florence Ann and Bruce had ten children, all inheriting enough of their father's temper and high good humor and enough of their mother's patience and integrity to become good citizens. When the remnants of the family now get together there are still practical jokes, and much reminiscing of the old days, when the boys put live rats and mice down their sister's backs, or when the twin girls, thinking they had centipedes in their clothing ran, nude, screaming to the house while twenty ar thirty work hands stared in open-mouthed amazement. The wonder to them now is that they all lived to maturity, what with being bitten by snakes, thrown from untamed horses, falling off the born, being smashed in windmill machinery, having diphtheria, pneumonia, typhoid, meningitis, and running through hot sand and fields of grass burrs barefoot.
In 1902 Robert Bruce went into the general mercantile business but sold out in 1909. Being Irish as he was and having a free heart and too great generosity, he was unable to cope with those to whom he extended credit and the "free loaders" all about him. He sold much of his land to satisfy his creditors, and at his death he owned only a small part of the land he and his wife had amassed. This part of the original farm still remains in the family. Children: Robert Franklin, Walter Hayer (Hare), Florence May, Alsa Benjamin, Minnie Eva, Ida Cora, Ada Lora, James Bruce, Thomas Marion, William Edwin.

She married Price Scott in May, 1897 in San Saba County, Texas. Price died about 1927 and is buried in The Cox Cemetery, also. No children.
999. Joanna Cleveland McCarty (775) was born April 15, 1862 in Dale County, Alabama, and died September 28, 1919. She married George Washington (Bud) Watkins November 1878 in Dale County. He was born March 15, 1857 in Coffee County, Alabama. They are both buried in the McCarty Cemetery in Dale County, and both have markers. As Joan's mother and children were making preparations to move to Texas when Joan married, her husband always said she married him to keep from moving to Texas. Later, however, Bud and Joan did move to Texas, settling for a time in Johnson County. They were in Texas in 1882, as their second son died that year in Texas. They were back in Alabama in 1884, for their third child was born there in that year. Children: James Alsa, William Edgar, Allie Florence, Jessie Lee, John Peal, Eva Ann, Arthur Philip, Georgia Love, Vaughn Washington, Roscoe Columbus.
After her husband's death, Joan married her uncle by marriage, James Howell ( ). They separated in a short while. No children. 1000.

About 1910 his letters to his mother ceased, and nothing more was ever heard of him definitely. In the casualty list of one of the many revolutions in Mexico the name "G. A. Bateman" appeared.
