Three SCALLORN men who joined the Confederate forces in Texas,
Thomas Jefferson, William M., and Anderson SCALLORN, are believed
to be the half-brothers of my Joab SCALLORN (1823-1902). My T.J.

soldiers who joined the forces in Travis Co.? Does anyone know

SUTTON, Phillip D(avid). Phillip D. SUTTON is believed to have
been born around 1832 in Travis or Falls Co. He married Sarah
Jane SCOTT (born about June 1840 in Arkansas?) probably in early
1870's, but it is very likely that he was married and widowed
before her. Phillip D. SUTTON was shot and killed in Lampassas
1873 late at night at his home. He and/or his wife may have been
part or full blooded Indian. Phillip D. SUTTON fathered my gr.
grm. Emma Linne SUTTON (b. 1874, married William Adolphus JONES
1892); Sarah SUTTON (b. 1871, married Claude Carr). There were
two other children: Willy (Willie) SUTTON and Iscoe SUTTON (born
Feb. 14 1869, married Susan Emily BROWN in 1894), but it is unclear
if Willy was truly Phillip's child from a previous marriage, or
if he was Sarah SCOTT's child from a previous marriage (in several
census he is listed as SUTTON, but in at least one census he is
listed as ROBBINS). I am very interested in knowing the circumstances
behind Phillip D. SUTTON's shooting, and the names of the parents
of both Phillip SUTTON and Sarah Jane SCOTT. Thanks!

MORELAND / MAHAN I believe my gggggrandparents, George Washing
MORELAND and Elizabeth MAHAN, were married in Lampasas on 11 Sep
1845. I know Lampasas Co. was not formed at that time so I will
try Bell and Travis Co. also. G.W. MORELAND was born 20 Sep 1819
and Elizabeth was born 17 Sep 1816. Their children may have been
Pinchney Alexander, John Marion, Peter, Franklin Pierce, Mary
Susan, Francis, and George Washington . These were copied for
me out of an old bible and the spelling may not be correct. I
think G.W. MORELAND came to Texas from Alabama.

John MORRIS and Mary HAMILTON md. sometime after 1850 and were
living in Burnet Co. in 1870 (1870 TX Census). They died ca. 1873
leaving about ten children, most of them minors. Mary's father
was John HAMILTON III. The City of Burnet is located on the John
HAMILTON League. He had land in Williamson Co. and Travis Co.
and lived at Webberville in eastern Travis Co. The HAMILTON's
are buried in the J.J. Manor Cemetery in Webberville. We do not
know when or where Mary and John MORRIS were married or buried.
We do not know anything about John MORRIS except that he was b.
in GA. Would like to know more. Also, my ancestors Robert Haynes
POGUE and his wife Martha Jerusha ABERNATHY lived in Burnet Co.
at Fairland, (after living in Milam Co. 4-5 yrs.) and are buried
in the Churchyard at Crownover Chapel there. Evidently they settled
in that area during the time the open range was being fenced and
were in the cedar fence post business. One of their grandsons,
"B" POGUE was Burnet Co. Judge for 14 years and, last
I heard, still lives there. I'd enjoy communication with anyone
