I am looking for a connection with the Lester family in Washington or Burleson Co. BF Lyon was married to Mary A Carrington dau of John and Sarah H Lester Carrington. John died in Washington Co in abt 1848, and Sarah was in the household of Oliver P Carrington in the 1860 census of Washington Co. Josiah Lester that received an original land grant in 1836 was Sarah H Lester Carrington's brother. They came from GA. I found a Josiah Lester in the 1860 census in Milam Co, TX, but thought he might have come through Burleson Co on the way there. We have a connection with the Warner Lewis family and the Jesse Lyon Family in GA. Jesse was the father of B F Lyon, and think the mother of BF was Mary Lewis dau of Warner Lewis. And that James Lyon that married Mary Lewis' mother was the father of Jesse Lyon. Would appriciate any help in this matter.
