Hi,
I am related to some Bynums specifically Guy (149) who married Laura (1846). They are from the Tipton County area of TN.

Re: I'm a black Bynum

tamblynjones — 2012-01-22 17:57:40Z

Hi,
While researching my Burchett family I cam across a cousin named Laura who married Guy Bynum (approx 1849). They had a son named James (1878) who moved to Arkansas. I know a few of Laura's siblings moved to Forest City, Arkansas. At some point James moved to Arkansas, I am guessing close to Forest City, Arkansas. There was a strong connection with some of the blacks from Forest City, Arkansas to the blacks from Tipton County, TN due to a church being founded in Forest City. I can be reached at tamblyn_jones@yahoo.com.

Deanna, I have since learned that Lewis Gilbert Bynum, b 1836-37 in Greene Co, IN, is the son of a William Bynum and his 2nd marriage to Rebecca Patterson Henshaw. William's 1st marriage is to Margaret Wentz, and it is one of their sons, James Gray Bynum, that just might be the father of my William M. Bynum, b 1857 in Greene Co, IN. Still looking to find a connection. Thanks for any help you are able to give me. Carolyn "Wiggi" Dietz

Re: North Carolina Bynum Family

MSmoller0015 — 2011-09-05 15:02:08Z

I am looking for the parents of my great-great-grandfather Jesse P. Holloman. He was born 17 Aug 1818 in North Carolina; died 07 Feb 1873 in Harrisonburg, Louisiana.

He was in the Tallahassee area of Florida in 1830 with his brother, James M K Holloman. The brothers fought in the Second Seminole War, during which James M.K. was killed on 03 May 1836 in battle at the block house on the Withlacoochee River in central Florida. After the war, Jesse migrated to Catahoula Parish Louisiana where he married my gg-grandmother, Sarah Waggoner. in 1841. They named their first child--born in 1843--Lavinia.

It's my guess that the parents of Jesse and his brother, James M.K. might be your Lavina Leona Bynum who married Jeremiah Holloman. Can you confirm this?

Many Thanks.

Mary E Bynum

abrookes2243 — 2011-04-11 19:23:59Z

I am searching for Mary E. Bynum who married John L Beaver or Beavers. In 1860 they are married and living in Franklin County, TN. I have found no previous record of her. There is a Mary C Bynum, father Tucker W. Bynum on the 1850 Franklin County census. The census taker has very loopy handwriting and looking through the census I see other times where his "e" looks much the same as this "c." I am wondering if this could possibly be my Mary E. The Beaver and Tucker families followed the same path from North Carolina to Tennessee to Alabama. I have found no further information on Mary C Bynum after 1850. Could Mary E and Mary C be the same person?

There's at least one public tree on Ancestry that shows his ancestry going back several generations. I just seached public trees for Rufus Bynum, born in 1915 (plus of minus 5 years), in Mississippi, and it was one of the first few listed.

A nephew of Rufus contacted me through Ancestry member connect a few years ago so I was able to send the pictures to the family. It was a great experience for my family and for his.

Good luck in your search.

Migration from AL to TX (fairly long)

snesnow — 2011-02-07 17:47:17Z

Please forgive the cross-posting, but I realized after I had written this to the WILSON-L mailing List, I should share on the Carleton/Carlton and Bynum Lists. Maybe this will help someone out there; maybe someone out there may be able to help me.

I don't know if anyone has chimed in with a reason for leaving AL for TX, but this is what I know from my family:

I have several branches of family that moved from AL to TX. One branch, the Bynums (Green C. Bynum and his wife Sarah) moved from Blount and Coosa Counties, AL (1840-1850 censuses) to Winn Parish, LA (1860 census) to Sabine County TX (1870 census). Green may have been following family members, as there were many of his cousins who moved to other parts of TX. Why Sabine County, I don't know. It wasn't that far from where they lived in Louisiana. Later, most of Green's children ended up in Angelina County, TX.

Tied in with the Bynums are the Carletons. Thomas Carleton and his second wife Sarah Frier lived in Bibb County AL, then Talladega County, AL, where Coleman Columbus Carleton married Nancy Arminda Bynum, daughter of Green, in 1853. The families of the couple all seem to have moved to Winn Parish, LA before 1860. CC Carleton may have seen TX during the Civil War and decided that it might be a nice place to start over. There is a lead I have been following about Green Bynum and his actions during the war; he may have made himself a little unpopular. CC and Nancy moved to TX about 1867. From records that I have seen, land was cheaper and more abundant.

Finally the Wilsons. This Wilson family was from Butler County, AL. Thomas Jefferson Wilson and his wife Julia Harrison Wilson moved from Butler Co, AL to Angelina County, TX in 1879. They were following TJ's sisters, Mary, wife of John W. Dees and Siddie, wife of Charles H. Dees. Both couples had moved to Angelina after 1870. There was a large contingent of Alabama folks in that county; so much so, that the school near Pollok TX was called the Alabama School. In some respects, it didn't even seem like moving.

Thomas Jefferson Wilson was the son of Cyrus Wilson who died in Butler County AL in 1859. I don't know anything about Cyrus's predecessors for certain except that supposedly there is a family bible that gives Cyrus's father's name as John Whitten Wilson. I have not seen this bible myself.
Cyrus does not appear in the 1850 federal census at all; he is listed in the 1850 AL state census for Butler (head of household only, does not show birthplace). His wife, Ann Poole (again, surname from family bible record) is in the 1860 census with a SC birthplace. The marriage supposedly took place in South Carolina, but I have found no record of it, or where Cyrus may have been in 1840, or any trace of the family of Ann. Cyrus's birthplace is given in his children's records as GA, AL, SC or England. The oldest child, Mary Wilson Dees consistently gives birthplaces for her parents of GA
(Cyrus) and SC (Ann). I believe that her info is more reliable than that of her younger siblings. The next oldest sibling to survive past the Civil War was 6 years younger than her, and only 10 years old when his father died.
Ann died in 1861 or 1862. At this point, Mary was about 18. So it is possible that Cyrus was born in GA, and Ann in SC. Cyrus and Ann's children
are:

1. Mary 1843-1915, m. John Watson Dees
2. John Wilson b. abt 1845, killed in Civil War
3. Allen Wilson b. abt 1848, died in Mobile, AL in 1863 4. Thomas Jefferson Burnett Wilson, 1849-1921, m. Julia Ann Harrison
5. Siddie Wilson, 1850-1900, m. Charles H. Dees
6. Franklin Pierce Wilson, 1854-1938, married Sarah E. Perry
7. Jasper Cyrus Wilson, 1858-1885, m. Amanda McBee

If anyone connects with this Wilson family, please let me know. This is one of 4 separate branches of Wilsons in my family tree. Unfortunately, this is my father's maternal grandmother's line, so DNA is out for this branch from my side at least. He is in the FTDNA database for his paternal Wilson line in Ripley County IN.

As a research help, I will put this out there: Since I have soooooo many common names in my family (4 different Wilson lines, Taylor, Anderson, Carpenter, Morgan, even a few Smiths and Jones, but no Browns!) I have gotten very adept at cluster genealogy and some of the more unusual record sources. Find all known associates and track them; people usually moved in bunch. Look at deed books for neighbors and track them. Search for manuscript collections. Look at the people in the census before and after them, those will be the neighbors. You might stumble across something on a previous page or a following page.

I know it is not always in the cards, but I cannot stress enough how beneficial it is to visit the places your ancestors lived. There are usually records available in that location that cannot be found anywhere else that you will only find out about when you are there. And the public library usually has a vertical file with all sorts of odds and ends; you may find your answer there. Both of these situations have happened to me, both in my personal research and my professional work for clients.
