Hi, There is a Gordon Rountree Olds- Cadillac dealer here in Waco, Texas Several Davises in Erath and McLennan county Texas- I grew up with some. One ran the Stephenville Airport. One in Waco is a Teacher in Texas State College (Old James Conally airbase and alternate landing site for George W. Bush). Harris- I taught some in Walnut Springs, Bosque County , Texas- they are as plentiful as Mustang Grapes in Texas. Also, Capt. james Wyly, Colonial British Militia , born 17234 in Ireland , a Quaker- he married a Martha Harris born 1733. My present records say they were married here and she was born here. A Wyly- Wright Cousin from Adelaide, South Australia says a James Wyly about the same age married a Martha Harris in an Irish Quaker Community in Ireland. He found this info on a personal research trip. He said Wylys are almost extinct in Ireland and one from Tahlequah, Ok. attended Medical School in Glasgow, Scotland where he had roots.older than the Irish roots. Since you are in Georgia, visit the Traveller's Rest Inn, a Georgia State park (Not Traveller's Rest Town in South Carolina) which Jesse Walton sold to the Wylys about 1812 and they buildt the present Inn with Cleveland help- John Cleveland lived with them. Both he and his son were Habersham County sheriffs. The 4 story Brick building in Atlanta at Peachtree and Pryor, was the Wyly Wholesale Grocery, 1850-1890 . Sherman did not burn it. He also did not burn the Jackson, Miss. City Hall, built 1840's as he knew all Confederate records were in the Masonic Hall in the basement. He returned to his own plantation after the war and refused to free his own slaves for several years. Hall- John Hall was with Jemima Cleveland and her two Wyly children and her Edwards Husband's children and several others . In 1796, Cumberland Gap. Evangelist Edwards was killed and scalpped Elizabeth Wyly hid 2 Edwards children in canebreaks. John Hall married, his wife died, and he married now grown Elizabeth Wyly, so somewhere I have some Hall records. Will check if you see which one you need checked. Halls are all over Texas McClendon- "Mac"McClendon of Erath County, Texas was one of my inspectors in the Convair Factory in Fort Worth, 1950's . His family was from Erath County , Texas. Also, Gordon McClendon, "The Old Scotchman" was a network sports announcer in the 1960's and he owned . Radio KLIF Dallas which has never found the tapes they made of Mobile Broadcasts of the Kennedy Assination. WBAP Fort Worth also taped their broadcansts and the spools of tape were missing for several years. Last year they reported finding them in a dusty warehouse hanging on a high nail. Happy Hunting, Charles A. Wyly On Wed, 13 Jun 2001 19:03:04 -0400 "James T. Rountree" <jamesr23@juno.com> writes: > Any thing historical to do with the migration of our ancestors would > be > nice.
