Also, Homer Rothwell Ficken, 3016 Gunnison Tr., Ft. Worth, TX 76116 is related. John H. had an older brother, James C., who married and left VA for Johnson Co., MO in 1839. John H. left sometime after the 1850 VA census for MO also and settled in Chariton Co.
In 9/98, I received this email inquiry:
Hi John,
Just curious - sent an entry for a shirt-tail kin Chariton Co, Mo CW Vet to Kath Heidel's site, and noticed your posting there:
John H. Rothwell was a bro of my GGF James C. Rothwell of Johnson Co, and John married Amanda Wayland in Randolph Co 1853. They were old neighbors from Albemarle Co, Va and John is said to have come west with the Wayland's.
All of which you likely know, but wondered if Amanda was an aunt or older sis of your ansc?

Not known how this physician W. A. Rothwell fits in.
Also in the book, "A History of Baptists in Missouri" by R. S. Duncan, 1882. It was republished by: "Church History, Research & Archives, Rt.4, Box 38, Lafayette, TN 37083." It talks about the presidents of Mt. Pleasant College, and mentions Rev, W.R. Rothwell as president for a term ending in 1866. I don't know how he fits in either.F iii Netta A.

NOTE: B, p.42,58,59
Graduated from the Kentucky School of Medicine in 1886. Moved to Texas and in April 1891 brought his family to Hale Co., Texas, being forced by ill health to move West. Settled in the Plainview area, which was wild in those days, starting life in a two-room shack, the only doctor in the area (previous one having been murdered). His business prospered, and in 1907 he built the Wayland Hotel, which provided an income for him in his later years when his health failed due to diabetes. He traveled by horse and buggy in the early days, with the help of a compass to get across the fields of grass, as there were few roads. Sometimes a rancher would call for the doctor and send a field hand to plow a furrow to the nearest road for him to follow. Winters were very severe, and it is a miracle he did not freeze to death on some of these trips.
He helped found Wayland Baptist University, his namesake located in Plainview, giving $100,000 to get it started in 1908. There is a biography on Dr. Wayland in the "Hale County History", Vol. III, 1971, available from the college library. The information on him and his family were obtained from his granddaughter, Mrs. Beulah McInnish, 904 Nassau St., Plainview, TX 79072
WAYLAND, J. H. (1863-1948). J. H. Wayland, physician, Baptist religious leader, and founder of Wayland Baptist Collegeqv was born in Randolph County, Missouri, on April 22, 1863. He attended Central College of Missouri and graduated from the Kentucky School of Medicine. He moved to Texas in 1883. On December 27, 1883, he married Sarah Frances Tucker at Weatherford, Texas. After practicing medicine in Parker and Hunt counties, he moved to Plainview in April 1891. There his practice covered a radius of 250 miles of unbroken territory, with no roads across the prairie. He owned and operated the Wayland Drug Store and continued his medical practice at Plainview for thirty years. He founded the Wayland Baptist College with a gift of thirty acres of land from his ranch and $100,000 in cash. Dr. Wayland worked to secure the building of a railroad into Plainview and was active in all community projects. After retiring from his medical practice, he built and operated the Wayland Hotel. He died in Plainview on February 6, 1948, survived by his widow, two sons, and four daughters.
