Posted on: Calhoun Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/cal/Calhoun/113 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, Debra Weatherbee
