I am searching for information about the family of Phillip/Philip A. HAIRSTON. He was born in Hinds County, Mississippi in 1852. His parents were John L. (abt 1812 SC or GA) and Eliza (abt 1821 GA) HAIRSTON. The family moved to Falls County around 1866. Phillip married Lodema CRISWELL in 1873 and they moved to Erath County where they resided for more than 20 years before leaving for Baylor County. Phillip and Lodema had only one child, Myrtie HAIRSTON BRYAN (1880), my grandmother. I am searching for the families of Phillip's siblings in hopes to obtain more information about the HAIRSTON family. Possible siblings of Phillip A. Hairston: Permelia HAIRSTON m. Joseph Sidney NOAH. Permelia died in 1928 and is buried in Erath County. Mattie HAIRSTON (b.1858) m. (1)_______CHISUM (2) J. A. THOMPSON in Erath in 1884. Mattie may have had a daughter Stella CHISUM who married William GRESHAM and they had children Jack, Rex, and Hugh. Mattie also had the following THOMPSON children: Floyd D., Aaron, Phillip A. and at least two other children. Mattie died in 1931 and is buried in Erath County. Mary HAIRSTON (1840) may have married a Thomas B. GILBERT. Jane or Sarah Jane HAIRSTON (1845) was probably not married. William HAIRSTON (1846) Adeline HAIRSTON (1849) James HAIRSTON may also have been a brother. He died in Falls County in 1905. I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
