Son of Richard and Clarissa CLARK Withrow

From Goodspeeds 1888 History of Madison County: "T. J. Withrow was born July 10, 1823, in Warren County, Tennessee, and is a son of Richard and Clarissa (Clark) Withrow. The father was born and married in Kentucky, after which he lived in Tennessee until 1831, and then came to Arkansas, settling three miles south of Huntsville upon the place where Proctor & McConnell now live. He died i n1860. He was a prosperous man owning a farm of 720 acres, and a mill, where Samuel Withrow now lives and was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and served his township as a Justice of the Peace. The mother was a native of Tennessee, a member of the same church and her death occurred in 1861. T. J. Withrow lived with his parents until twenty-three years of age, and then after his marriage started to farm on his own account, succeeding so well that now he is the owner of 186 acres of valley land, 125 under cultivation, which are well watered by fine springs. In 1847 he married Matilda Bivens, daughter of Elias Bivens who died in Illinois, and Margaret Bivens, who came to this county with her family in 1845. Mrs. Withrow was born February 20, 1827, in Alabama, and is the mother of eight children: Samantha J.; Sarah Ann; John R. (deceased); Josephine; James T. (deceased); Zachariah; Charles H.; and an infant now deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Withrow have been active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South for many years and the former is a Royal Arch Mason of long standing. He has been a life-long Democrat and during the war was in Phillip's Company of Major Harrell's regiment, Confederate Army, in which he served two and one-half years."
