HI CAROL, WHAT AN INTERESTING THING TO BE INTERESTED IN. I AM AMAZED AT THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ENDED UP IN HUNT COUNTY FROM VIRGINIA AND ALL THE OTHER PLACES EAST ALSO. THE LADY AT THE GENEALOGY SOCIETY TOLD ME GREENVILLE WAS KIND OF A GATHERING PLACE OR A STOP OVER PLACE DOWN THRU THE YEARS. A LOT OF THE PEOPLE STAYED WHILE MANY OTHERS KEPT MOVING WEST. YES, I AM INTERESTED IN THE AREY'S. MY HUSBANDS GRANDFATHER, JAMES EMMITT PHIPPS, WAS THE BROTHER OF ELSIE. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH MEMEBERS OF BILL AREY AND SILAS AREY FAMILY AND HAVE BEEN GETTING A VERY GOOD BIT OF INFORMATION. I DON'T HAVE MUCH ON WILLIAM EDGAR THOUGH. I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I HAVE AND MAYBE YOU CAN TELL ME IF IT IS RIGHT. WILLIAM EDGAR AREY, B JANUARY 15, 1880 IN LEE COUNTY, VIRGINIA. DIED APRIL 1949 IN PARSONS, LABETTE COUNTY, KANSAS. MARRIED CORA LEE BROWN..SHE WAS BORN IN TENNESSEE. THAT IS ALL I HAVE ON HER. THEY MARRIED APRIL 7, 1901 IN HUNT COUNTY, TEXAS. THEIR CHILDREN WERE ELSIE, LILLIAN, JAMES BALLARD BORN OCTOBER 7, 1906 AND BILL BORN 1914. IT IS STRANGE TO TYPE WILLIAM EDGAR. THAT IS MY BROTHERS NAME. YOU PROBABLY HAVE MUCH MORE INFORMATION ON THE AREYS THAN I DO BUT I WILL BE VERY GLAD TO GIVE YOU WHAT I HAVE IN RETURN FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN ADD TO MINE INFORMATION. MY INTEREST IN THE AREYS STARTED WITH MARTHA ANN PHIPPS WILSON, ELSIE'S MOTHER. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT EVERYTHING I CAN ON HER AND I AM AT A BLANK WALL. I HAVE HER TRACED FROM 1845 TO ABOUT 1927 AND IT STOPS THERE. I CAN'T EVEN FIND OUT WHERE SHE WAS BURIED. I JUST KNOW THAT SHE CAME FROM VIRGINIA AFTER HER HUSBAND, ISAAC WILSON, DIED. SHE STAYED WITH ELSIE SOME BUT DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE THERE...SAID ELSIE WAS TOO WRAPPED UP IN HER OWN FAMILY. SHE ALSO STAYED WITH ALPHA ANN PHIPPS, HER SISTER IN LAW. WHEN SHE DIED NO ONE PUT A MARKER ON HER GRAVE OR I WOULD HAVE FOUND IT BY NOW. ANYWAY THAT IS ANOTHER STORY. I CAN NOT FIND A CECIL AREY IN ANY OF MY AREY RECORDS BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN MUCH. I AM SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING SOME FILES FROM WYOMING SOON AND HOPE TO FIND SOME ANSWERS THERE. HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON.

Hi Joyce, I am sorry to say I can't help you with your search. This is not a family I have any known connections to. The Brown line I am researching is not a Hunt County line and I have no indications of a connection to yours. Good luck, Carol Carol A. Reel 19286 Barzel Point Rd.
