Notes for WILLIAM W WILLINGHAM:
William H Willingham, known as "Bill" was born in Ware County, Georgia January 25, 1842. He came with his parents to Columbia County before 1845. They move by 1848 to Hillsborough County. William W Willingham served as a private in Company K, 8th Florida Infantry, CSA, enlisting at Fort Brooke on May 27, 1862. He was wounded at Gettysburg on July 2, 1863 by a lead ball in the left foot and was captured. He was paroled at Baltimore on September 25, 1863 and allowed to return home on furlough.
At the expiration of the furlough he enlisted in Captain F A Hendry's Company at Fort Meade. During the
later service he was wounded by a lead ball in the right foot. He was declared incapacitated for duty
and returned home. He married Ann E Starling on July 25, 1866 in Polk County. In the late 1860's Bill's father gave his land at Kissimmee Island to Bill and moved to Fort Meade. by 1877 Bill Willingham was
worth an estimated $50,000. On September 4, 1880 Bill attempted to cross the Peace River on a ferry
owned by his father. He could not find the ferryman, his brother-in-law William McLaughlin. While attempting to cross the river and falling into the water he got into a fight with McLaughlin. Bill shot
William McLaughlin who later died on September 12, 1880. Bill Willingham returned to Kissimmee Island and evaded capture by hiding in the swamps for several years. He was captured in 1884 and
went on trial in July 1884. He was convicted of first degree murder with a recommendation of mercy. He was sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor in the state penitentiary. Ann Willingham sold to Ziba King a large stock of cattle and other personal property owned by Bill on May 5, 1886. Bill contested the sale but lost. They were subsequently divorced on November 16, 1893. Bill engaged prominent attorneys to appeal his conviction but the efforts were in vain. He then sought a pardon. In April 1898 Thomas L Wilson of Wilson & Wilson went to Tallahassee and presented petitions for his pardon signed by more than 1,000 citizens. He was formally pardoned on May 23, 1898. With all his assets gone he
retired to a small place on Kissimmee Island. A few friends gave him a small stock to begin again. In
November 1909 his assets included three horses and seventy-five cattle valued at $700. He applied for a Confederate pension from his service in Captain Hendry's Company due to being permanently disabled for wounds received in service. His claim was approved on December 23, 1908 with pay from June 4, 1908 at the rate of $120 per annum. He reapplied under the Act of 1909 on November 3, 1909. On March 8, 1910 the Board of Pensions repudiated his claim as a War Department record showed he was last reported on the rolls of Company K as absent without leave since October 31, 1863, ignoring his later proven service in Captain Hendry's Company. So the twice wounded veteran was denied his pension. William W Willingham died June 6, 1910. He was buried in the Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Fort Meade.

Ann E Starling was the daughter of Lucretia Virginia Kirkland and step-daughter of Isham Lewis.

PIONEER FLORIDA
JESSE CALVIN WHIDDEN
Jesse Calvin Whidden was a member of the first white family to settle in the area which later became Polk County.
His grandfather was the first sheriff of Polk County and held office for at least a quarter of a century.
Jesse Whidden erected the first brick building in Mulberry, where he lived at least twenty-five years.
He served the town as Mayor for five years, and was a city councilman there from the time the town was incorporated.
He was a very religious man, known for his good deeds, and was liked and respected by all.
Born near Bradley Junction on February 20, 1873, he was a son of Willowby W. Whidden, who was born in Georgia, and Susan
Durrance, born at Bartow.
His father, who farmed and raised cattle and owned two large groves near Bradley, took part in all the large battles of the Civil War,
including Gettysburg and Franklin.
He was a Primitive Baptist and very zealous in his religion, a faith he passed on to his son.
Jesse Whidden attended the public school of Polk County and Summerlin Institute, and taught school for seven years before going
into business for himself in Mulberry. At first he ran a drug store for about five years, then went into general merchandise.
He owned and operated a general store in Mulberry for about twenty years. In 1922 he sold out and went to Bartow, where he took the Ford agency, and ran this for two or three years. In 1925 he sold the agency and moved to Winter Haven, There he opened a large grocery store, which he operated until his retirement in 1940.
He had acquired a considerable amount of real estate and rental property, which he continued to manage after selling the grocery
store. He was a life member of the Elks in Lakeland and a member of Harmony Primitive Baptist Church in South Lakeland.
At Fort Meade on March 22, 1904, Jesse Calvin Whidden married Pearl Theresa Hancock, born November 4, 1882, at Fort Meade,
daughter of James Thomas Hancock of Fort Meade and Alice Maria Durrance of Homeland, Florida. The couple have no children.
Mr. Whidden died October 6, 1955, in Winter Haven and is buried in the Hancock family cemetery at Fort Meade.
James Thomas Hancock, father of Mrs. Whidden, was County Commissioner of Polk County for sixteen years, during which time the present large Court House, the County Hospital, and the Old People’s Home were built. Her maternal grandfather was Joseph Lemuel Durrance and his wife was Mathilda Poppel Durrance. He was born in Georgia and she at Monticello, Florida.
Mrs. Whidden has tales to tell of the early days at Fort Meade, when the Tillis plantation was attacked by the Seminole Indians. One day Mrs. Tills was milking the cows with the help of some of their slaves when she noticed that the cows were very restless. Knowing something was wrong, she looked over the fence and saw a group of Indians about to attack them. She called to her small son Dallas and the slaves to run for the house. Dallas was shot at by the Indians but escaped with a bullet hole in his shirt tail. During the last attack of the Seminole Indians at Fort Meade, J. T. Hancock, Sr. and William Bowen were the first two men to reach the Tillis plantation. When they arrived they found that the Indians had turned the stock loose, and brought Willowby Tillis’ most cherished possession, a beautiful dapple-gray stallion, to the front of the house and shot it. The captain of the company of soldiers who came to help the people in the Tillis home was Mack Durrance.
Mrs. Whidden has written many poems about Florida which had been published in the Tampa Times and Tribune, the Lakeland Ledger, and the Winter Haven Chief. When, recently, Polk County had a series of moving pictures made throughout the county, showing its industries, beauty spots, etc., the music that accompanied this exhibition was the melody of "Carry Me Back to Old Virginia," but Mrs. Whidden had written new lyrics for the tune, entitled "Carry Me Back to Sunny Florida." Another song of hers, called "Dreaming of Florida,"was broadcast from St. Petersburg.

Martha Jane Sturgis was born June 30, 1870 and died in 1962 in Okeechobee, Florida. Henry Hancock attended school at the old Bartow institutes. He later taught school at Fort Meade and Avon Park. Henry Hancock and his brother, James T Hancock, Jr. were sent by the Federal government to the Lake Okeechobee region to resurvey an area that had previously been
incorrectly surveyed after the turn of the century. Henry liked the area of Taylor Creek and decided it
would be a good place to live. He returned to Polk County and brought his herd of 106 cattle. He constructed a log house and returned to Polk County for his family. They left Fort Meade in 1902 and traveled five days to arrive at Taylor Creek. They settled on the east side of the creek. Henry was
instrumental in securing the area's first voting precinct in 1903. Henry Hancock was appointed Justice of the Peace for lower Brevard County and later served in that capacity when part of the county was made into St Lucie County. In 1909 he had a boat constructed by Sam Gray to transport oranges to Fort Myers. It was fifty two feet long and named the Serena Victoria for his mother. When a new frame school was built in 1909 Henry Hancock along with Pter Raulerson, Weyman Potter and the teacher, Dr. Hubbard were the trustees for the 1909-10 term. When Okeechobee county was formed in 1917 Henry Hancock was made County Judge. He later served as Superintendent of Public Instruction. Mr. Hancock devoted a large part of his life to public service. He was a member of the Baptist Church. Henry Hancock died January 12, 1950 at Okeechobee. His wife Martha Jane Sturgis died in 1962. They are buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Okeechobee, Florida.

April 18, 2007 Clewiston
Joe Hilliard is festival honoree
CLEWISTON — The Sugar Festival Committee has announced that the 2007 Sugar Festival will be dedicated to Joe Marlin Hilliard. Joe Marlin’s father, Joe A., and his Uncle Marlin formed Hilliard Brothers of Florida back in the 1930s.
Joe Marlin has continued that family tradition of ranching while branching out into other business ventures. The Hilliard Family has a prominent place in Hendry County history and in the development of agriculture throughout the region. Joe Marlin is the General Partner in Hilliard Brothers of Florida, which owns over 58,000 acres of land in Florida, Georgia and Kansas. The operation includes sugarcane, citrus, cattle, sod, fruit and vegetable and timber production.
Joe Marlin Hilliard was born January 18, 1943 in Fort Myers to Joe A. and Tippy Hilliard. After graduating from Clewiston High School, Joe Marlin joined the family operation in 1961. Significantly, at his direction, that year saw the Hilliard’s first involvement with sugar cane when they began with a modest crop of about 300 acres. Over the years, the sugarcane acreage grew and grew, eventually reaching its highest point of 12,000 acres.
Joe Marlin was personally one of the pioneers who developed mechanical harvesting of sugarcane in Florida. He imported machines and people from Australia, going on to establish the largest mechanical harvesting cooperative in the state. His leadership led the way ushering in new sugarcane harvesting technology.
"Joe Marlin’s efforts and successes in mechanical harvesting led the way to keep the entire Florida sugarcane industry viable. He has never been given sufficient credit for this," said U.S. Sugar Corporation CEO Robert H. Buker, Jr.
Hilliard Brothers of Florida continues as a family operation with Joe Marlin’s two sons—Joe Marlin II and Bryan—and daughter, Mary Elizabeth, all involved in different aspects of the business.
In addition to his family business, Joe Marlin has been active in many other organizations.
He is a past president of the Florida Cattleman’s Association, past chairman of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission and a former member of the Florida Citrus Commission. He has also served as President of three local drainage districts, the Florida Sugar Cane League, and the Florida Land Council. His board membership credits include the Florida Agriculture Council, Florida Citrus Mutual, Gulf Coast Citrus Association and the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association.
The Hilliard Family has continued a tradition of being involved in their extended communities and giving comes from the heart.
Joe Marlin Hilliard has been generous in giving and supporting charitable causes. He and his wife Barbara have hosted many civic and fundraising events at The Cabin, located on their family property on Flaghole Road. Joe Marlin has made charitable giving for education and health care a top priority. As far back as he can remember, he knew that his father always gave back to the community and he has followed in that deep-rooted tradition.
Joe Marlin will be honored with a Coffee Social at The Clewiston Inn on Wednesday, April 25 from 7:30 until 9 a.m. The community is invited to drop by and help honor Joe Marlin on this occasion. The event is sponsored by Seacoast National Bank.
The formal presentation of the 2007 Sugar Festival Dedication to Joe Marlin will be on the Sugar Festival main stage at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 28.
On behalf of the entire community, the Sugar Festival Committee is deeply appreciative of Joe Marlin’s contributions to our extended community’s agriculture heritage and his leadership role in anchoring the future.
In accepting this honor, Joe Marlin joins his late father as the first father-son honorees for the event. The 1998 Sugar Festival was dedicated to Joe A. Hilliard.
