Comments: Frank Johnson's, "Texas & Texans", states that James and
Benjamin were sons of Pyannah's. On close reading of Franklin's probate
records, this may not be true. Until there is definite proof to the
contrary, I've chosen to leave them as Pyannah's sons. Hopefully, one day
we will discover the death date of Sarah ANDERSON or the marriage date of
Franklin and Pyannah GRIGSBY.
