Posted on: Austin County, Tx Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Austin?read=286 Surname: ERVIN, THOMPSON, HARRISON ------------------------- Caroline THOMPSON was the daughter of Joseph Thompson & Martha (Jones, I think) Thompson. They were in Texas before 1835. Caroline had a sister named Mary Ann who married Wiley HARRISON and they had four children, one named Thomas. Caroline married James ERVIN 10 Dec 1840 in Austin County. There was a Thomas Harrison who was killed and his uncle, James Ervin, caught the people who killed him. James soon died after falling (or being pushed) overboard a boat. Can anyone verify these are the same. Anyone researching these families or anyone with knowledge of these facts, please contact me.
