Hi Listers, The list has been very quiet, so, I would like to call for a Roll Call. I would like everyone to let the list know who your Austin Co. ancestors are. My Austin Co. family is Joseph Wier, b. 1831 in Monongalia (W)Va d. 1900 in Hempstead, and wife Henrietta Abell Wier b. 1833, d. 1900. They married in Trumbull Co. in 1854 and came to TX from Trumbull Co. OH in 1857. Their children are: Clarence Henry Wier b 1855 m. Mary J. Wood in 1880, d. 1930 in Hempstead,Waller, TX Warren A, Wier b 1857, m. Irene McNeil, d. 1881 in Hempstead Flora Ann Wier b . 1861, m. John Francis Houx abt 1880, d. 1916 Clara A. Wier b. 1863 m.

Margaret Hamilton Clarke , d. 1960 The Wier's lived in the area of Hempstead, which was at the time a part of Austin Co. until 1873. In 1873, Waller Co. was formed from Austin and Grimes Co's. Descendants of the Wier families still live in and around the area. Anyone related? Peggy Tebbetts List Admin.
