BRYAN
I am a descendant of Reddick BRYAN, born in 1793,
who lived in Martin County, North Carolina.
He married Elizabeth S. REGAN,
born 1798, of Robeson County, North Carolina. They lived in central Georgia
(Houston, Twiggs, and Pulaski Counties) and in 1838, left Georgia for NW
Louisiana where they settled in present day Bienville Parrish. Extended
families in Louisiana included ALBRITTON,
HAMMETT, WATTS, PITMAN, and WIMBERLY. My great-great grandparents, Terrell BRYAN and Harriet ALBRITTON, left Louisiana for Texas where they settled in Erath
County, Texas. Additional family names
include BIGGS, KEITH, WYLIE, LATTA, and HAIRSTON. For much more
about this family visit My
Bryan Family web page.
HAIRSTON
Phillip A. HAIRSTON,
son of John L. and Eliza HAIRSTON
and my great-grandfather, was born on May 17, 1852 in Hinds County, MS. He
relocated with his family to Falls County, Texas sometime after the Civil War
where he married Lodema Walker CRISWELL. Lodema, born in Cherokee County, TX, was the
daughter of William Moore CRISWELL
and Mary Ann "Polly" EVANS. Phillip and Lodema moved from Falls to Erath
County and later to Baylor County where they are buried. Other family names
include CHISUM, GILBERT, NOAH, THOMPSON, and GRESHAM. See pictures and more at My
Hairston family web pages.
DAVIS
I know very little about my DAVIS family from
Edmonson County. Claude DAVIS, my
grandfather, was the son of Bertha DAVIS. She was the daughter of Olive
Caroline DAVIS and granddaughter of Seth H. DAVIS and Margaret “Peggy JONES.”
Bertha had a sister, Dora, who married a Tom PAGE and had several children.
