I am interested in finding out anything about Berry BELYEN (or BELYEU) or Belyen who was a confederate veteren buried in the Texas State Cemetary in Austin and who applied for a Confederate Pension (#06278) listing Kaufman Co as his home. The spelling Berry is probably correct as is Belyeu, the cemetary and pension records use Belyen, probably a misreading of the handwritten name.I am broadening my earlier query re: Berry BELYEN (or BELYEU) to include his brother Richard BELYEN /BELYEU, Richard's wife Ruth BELYEN/BELYEU and also David N BELYEN/BELYEU and (Mrs. RJ BELYEN/BELYEU) relationship unknown.
All of these applied for Confederate Pensions. My BELYEU's immigrated to TX from Talbot Co. GA, sometime between 1865 and 1880. Berry claimed to have lived in Kaufman Co from 1880 to 1889. At times Richard lived in Rusk Co. Mrs R.J. applied for pension from Williamson Co.SHORTNACY, SINGLETON posted by Debbie Stuart on Tuesday, December 10, 1996
