I am posting this to several lists in my last hopes of finding anything on this POPHAM family . If you get this more than once (and I am sure you will) I do apologize 1 NATHAN POPHAM 1812 - 1843 b: Abt. 1812 d: Abt. 1843 ... 2 TRAVIS POPHAM 1836 - b: Aft. 1836 ... 2 JAMES POPHAM 1836 - b: Aft. 1836 ... 2 William James (Gilson) Popham, (Rev.) 1835 - 1872 b: 1835 in Poss. England or Virgina d: 1872 in CHERRY MOUND, SHERMAN, GRAYSON CO, TEX (Blair Cem in Fannin Co.) Occupation: Circuit Preacher ....... +Susannah E. Williams 1838 - 1901 b: 1838 in Pittsylvania Co., VA m: October 15, 1864 in GRAYSON CO, TEXAS d: 1901 in FORT WORTH, TARRANT CO, TEX or (Blair Cem. in Fannin Co.) Father: Benjamin Franklin Williams Mother: Anna Clement Perkins ......... 3 Sarah "Sallie" Virginia Popham 1871 - 1947 b: February 27, 1871 in GORDONVILLE, GRAYSON CO., TEXAS d: October 26, 1947 in KINGSVILLE, KLEBERG CO., TEXAS ............. +HAWKINS MAY GIBSON 1871 - 1946 b: May 10, 1871 in DALLAS CO.,TEXAS m: June 05, 1892 in GORDONVILLE, GRAYSON CO., TEXAS d: January 14, 1946 in DAMON, BRAZORIA CO., TEXAS Father: JAMES HAWKINS GIBSON Mother: MARY (POLLY) OVERSHINER Nathan could be Jonathan, Nathaniel, Nat, John or anything that comes from those names. Travis and James may have been 1/2 brothers to my Great grandfather William James Gilson POPHAM. The two middle names are a puzzle also, but my Mothers swears up and down that it is correct. I have wondered if Gilson was a maiden name for his Mother, as it is some times. It is William Popham for sure. Do not have a clue to their Mother or mothers. After Nathan died it is believed that the boys were orphaned and never adopted. I have much on the Williams family and back. No one in our family even knew my grandmother Sallie's name was really Sarah. Plus this cemetery is right on the county line of Grayson Co and Fannin Co, Texas and both on the state line bordering Okla. William Popham was know as that "Englishman". But other info is that his father came to Texas with him, then went back to Virginia/West Virginia area. Thanks in advance, Margie in Texas
