Archie&Tom Pyron/Minnie&LucyMcKay 1900
Minerva ORear McKay m. George S. McKay in Marion Co.,Al. 1869, was widowed in Aug.1900. Later that fall she left Lamar Co., AL with her ORear brothers and traveled to TX by covered wagon. She listed on her Confederate Widows Pension application some years later that she had lived in Texas for 3 years and had lived in the counties of Bowie, Franklin, and Titus.Two daughters married and remained in Texas after Minerva and 10 of her children returned to AL. Daughter Minnie married Archie Pyron.Lucy married Thomas Pyron son of Essa McKay/Charles Milton Pyron of Mt. Vernon, Texas.Archie and Tom were cousins but I'm not sure just how.
Archie and Minnie apparently moved on to eastern Arkansas.I've heard that Lucy died fairly young and left Tom with several children. He may have remarried?Some of these children were thought to have moved on to California.I would appreciate any information on these families. I will be glad to share.
