Sounds good to me. I belong to the Hallmark family. George Hallmark and Leanah Mynatt to Mynatt Hallmark and Mary Calvert to Wilborn W. Hallmark and Amanda Melvina Easley daughter of Daniel Easley and Eudoxia Brindley down to my Great Grandmother Eudoxia Kezia Hallmark. Daniel Easley is grand son of Solomon Murphree. Eudoxia is related to most the Brindley's at that time. Eudoxia married Amos Young Amerson son of Benjamin Jasper Amerson and Elizabeth Mc Donald. I have not proven Benjamin's parents but believe he was born in South Carolina. Elizabeth McDonald was the daughter of William McDonald and Frances Lewellan (Lewelling). William McDonald was son of William McDonald and Rachel Holder. I am related through Daniel Easley to the Murphree's. Both trees were in Blount Co., by 1818 and some before. After the Civil War Wilborn and Amanda Melvia Easley Hallmark lost their home in Oneonta. Wilborn died and the Sheriff bought the Hallmark home for Taxes. Elizabeth Amerson McDonald was living in Blount Co. near Easley when son Amos came home from the Civil War. Five of Elizabeth's sons had died in the Civil War. My Great Grandfather was the only remaining Son. He Married Eudoxia Kezia Hallmark and Eudoxia's remaining family, Amos, his mother Elizabeth McDonald Amerson and her two Grandsons John Bridove Amerson and Benjamin Gilmore Amerson moved to Dry Creek Lawrence Co., Alabama and were all there until after the 1870 census. Then Amos, Eudoxia and part of both families moved to Iuka, Tishomingo Co., Mississippi. Some of the remaining families move to Mississippi also. Elizabeth and Benjamin's sons were John Gilmore Amerson married to Orleana (1850 Census). William McDonald Amerson married to Julia Ann Hawkins, Benjamin Amerson married to Fernetta Berry, Riley Jasper Amerson married to Mary (Unknown), and W. Barton Amerson. Daughter was Elizabeth Amerson and Frances (Fanny Amerson ) Fanny was married to William Salyers 1861 January 1 in Blount Co. I have seen Tapley Bynum in many of my papers. My other side of my fathers family lived in Jefferson Co., Alabama until about mid 1850's then went to Iuka, Tishomiingo Co., Mississippi, I live in Placentia, Orange Co., California.
