-
John Wheat came to Texas with his father, Josiah, in 1835. He served in the
Texas Revolution at San Jacinto. He received a land grant,
TCTX directly from the State of Texas. -
It took me a while to find if and how Mary Jane's mother, also a Durham, was
connected to our family. Her father was
Levi A. Durham, a primitive Baptist preacher.
I have since traced Levi's ancestors to be descendants of Thomas Durham and
Peggy Lindsey.
-
One of Mary Jane's sisters married Edmond P. Wheat, a brother of John Wheat, her husband.
-
John is buried at Mt Pisgah Cemetery cem,
TCTX.
From Texas Historical Commission plague at his gravesite at Mt Pisgah Cemetery cem:
A Native of Lawrence County Ala. migrating to Texas in 1835, Wheat located
his headright and bounty lands here, and named many Tyler County creeks while
hunting bear and other game. A soldier in Texas war for independence, he guarded
a Mexican officer prisoner after Battle of San Jacinto. He donated land for the
cemetery, and served as Count Commissioner in 1852-54. Married four times, he
had several children, and left to descendants many legends of the early days.
Recorded - 1974. -
