ARRICK, BRESHER. In looking for information concerning my great-grandfather John ARRICK, we came across birth records of one of his daughters, Mary Lee Arela ARRICK, b. Jan. 13 1893, Kaufman Co., City of Crandall, Texas. Mother was Manerva Viola HARRISON. Both parents (John and Manerva) were born in Tennessee (TN) in the 1860-1870 period. When Mary went to get Social Security benefits, she didn't have her birth records. So, she had two people sign affadavits swearing to her age. A woman, Sallie BRESHERS, is shown as signatory on an affadavit, and she lists herself as Mary's aunt (which side? ARRICK or HARRISON?), on May 31, 1958, and living at 1513 E. 13th St., Lubbock, TX. The other affadavit signatory is Fannie E. ALEWINE, on Jun. 2, 1958. No other information is know about this person.

William T. TALLANT was born in White County, Tennessee, in 1845 to James and Mary (Rice) TALLANT. He was a private in the Federal Army and served in the 8th TN Mounted Infantry. He settled first in Fannin County, TX by 1900 and was in Kaufman Co. TX, by 1910. I need to know when and where he died, his wife's maiden name (given name Sarah), and where his children went. He had a brother, Green H. TALLANT, who also served in the 8th Tenn M.I. Green enlisted in February 1865 at Granville, TN, and died of measles at home on May 6, 1865. Another brother, James TALLANT, married Rebecca MARTIN in Putnam County, TN, on October 9, 1881. He disappears after that without a trace, and in all likelihood, went to Texas with William. I need info on their descendants for inclusion in my book, "The Descendants of William B. and Eleanor RICE of White County, Tennessee". Thank You!FARLEY, MARTIN, RICE, TALLANT posted by Willie D.
