George Washington Browning was the husband of my great grandaunt Flora Wilkinson. He later died of fever on an expedition to the California gold fields in 1849. He was one of the first Texas rangers and a first settler in Palestine, Anderson County, Texas.

I believe Robert Taylor Crain is actually Rodden Taylor Crain, b. 29 April 1798 in Georgia. He is a son of Joel Crain and Rachel (Unknown) Crain. Joel Crain fought in the Revolutionary War at the battle of Cross Creek. Michelle Crain Plumlee, 2/19/08

Walker B Wilson (7 July 1795 - Oct 1850) was born in Virginia and died in Bastrop County, Texas. He was my ancestor and was married to Jane Owen. 5/12/09

Spencer Morris Sr. is the father of John Morris, Bethel Morris and Spencer Morris Jr. noted in this article. Spencer Morris Sr. moved his family (wife, three sons and three daughters) from Tennessee to Texas in 1831 and joined the Green DeWitt colony.
