Hello everyone, we are joining all of you folks in this search for our ancestors. My husband knew he had family from Erath County and Eastland Co. We finally after 2 years found and called a nephew of my husbands grandfather John Benjamin Ervin. He was called grandpa Ben. He left Texas 1920s to Calif. A newly found cousin told us g grandpa MILES ERVIN was born 1839, she thinks from Mo. , He enlisted in the army at Tarrant Co. Tx. 1862, married ANNIE GRISSOM who was born 1835. They married about 1877 in Fortworth, Tarrant Co. Texas. They had 8 boys. One was my husbands grandfather Ben born 1879 who married Minnie Reese. Some names of Bens brothers we are now aware of are Chester Floyd Sr., Sidney, Jess born in late 1800s. I have a list of Bens children and Chesters children. I was told MILES ERVIN father of the above sons is buried in the Bunyon Cemetary. He died 1899 and his wife Annie Grissom died 1927. We are so delighted to have learned this much so far over the weekend from a telephone call to a 2nd cousin newly discovered in Gorman Texas. This cousin does not know much more and would also appreciate any added information to what I have told you. Sincerely, Gloria
