Notes:

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, TyleTX 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 Mount Pisgah Cemetery, TyleTX. 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.
