Surname: Calhoun, Williams, Miller, Smith, Braden, Clay, Bratton
-------------------------
I am looking for any information on Mary Calhoun who was married to Felix
Williams.(they lived in Texas) some known counties: Kaufman,Smith,Vanzandt
Mary Calhoun was born abt. 1855 possibly Texas. She was raised around Tyler,Smith
Co.
Mary was the 2nd wife of Felix Williams. He was born Jan 1,1832 Bartholomew
Co. Indiana to Samuel L. Williams and Nancy Miller of Indiana.
Felix married his 1st. wife: Serena Smith 1853 Decatur Co. Indiana. They
had 2 sons that I know of.
Orlando Williams born 1854 Decatur Co. Indiana, he married Jennie Braden
1893 Decatur Co. Indiana.
And John Datious Williams born 1861 Decatur Co.Indiana and married Mary
Ann Mollie Clay 1889
Kaufman Co. Texas. They had the following children: Walter Randolph, Hamer
Milton,Willie Owen,John Delmer and Natalie Mozelle all born in
Texas.
Felix Williams moved to Texas abt. the late 1860's or 1870's
Mary Calhoun and Felix Williams had Belle Elizabeth Williams (my grandmother)
Feb 4,1892-93
in Kaufman Co. Texas. It states on Belle's birth
certificate, that Felix and Mary had 5 living children. It also states
that Mary was 36 years old and Felix was 61 years old and was a farmer.
There have been family stories through the years that there were twins
in the family. Also that maybe at one time Mary was a school teacher.
My granmother Belle Elizabeth Williams had red hair when she was younger.
Belle met my grandfather Ocel E.Bratton, while she was visiting her half
brother Orlando Williams and his wife Jennie in Indiana. Ocel and Orlando
were friends and may have worked on the railroad together. (Ocel worked
for the RR)
Belle and Ocel married Dec 3,1913 in Marion Co.Indiana. They had 2 sons
and 1 daughter. James,Russell (my father), Merele Elizabeth
Is the anyone out there who has any information on Mary Calhoun and Felix
Williams and their 5 children? I think they were all born in Texas.
Thank You,
