This below came from _The Index to Texas Probate Records_ (http://www.three-legged-willie.org/texas.htm) Wynn, W. H. deceased Aug 02 1898 Delta I also noticed and found William H with Mary and children: William R, Hiram W., also there is another son, that I can not read the name, that is 4 years old and a cousin by the name of Mollie that is 12 years old. This was on the 1880 Delta County Census. Maybe you can get someone to go look at the probate records for information for you. There is no marriage records that I can see on the marriage record index look up for Lamar County. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

For the benefit of subsequent researchers, I was able to figure out who the Mary is who married William H. Wynn after his first wife Frances apparently died. Her name is actually Mary Bachman Hale. Mary appears on the 1860 Hawkins Co., TN census with father Philip S. Hale (b.1793, TN) and mother Elizabeth [Bachman] (b.1799, TN). Ancestry.com's OneWorldTree has this Mary Bachman Hale with a birthdate of 23 Nov 1834, and that month and year is a perfect match for the dating given for Mary B. Wynn (as a widow) on the 1900 Delta Co., TX census. Mary does have a sister named Frances Louisa Hale (b.1837, TN), but this is definitely not the same Frances who first married William, as this sister is still living at home (and is of the wrong age anyway) when William is initially shown married to Frances (also on the 1860 Hawkins Co., TN census). An unverified Internet source gives a date of 21 Oct 1868 for Mary B. Hale's marriage to William H. Wynn, so my previous estimate of 1860/61 is apparently wrong. Thus it appears that Frances and Mary aren't sisters afterall, but rather cousins of some sort. So the most important question still remains of who are the parents of the Frances (Bachman?) (b.ca1828, TN) who first married William Wynn . . .? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
