According to my records this William J. Fomby/Formby b. 5/23/1823, son of Aaron Formby, is the one who married 1st Susan F. Thaxton and 2nd married his cousin, Christian Ann Formby, dau of Obadiah Billie Formby and Christian "Kitty" Harris. He and Christian Ann had 6 children including a set of twins.
This William J. (Jasper) Formby died 7/30/1862 Confederate Army, CSA, near Richmond, VA.
If you look on the Formby Forum for Benjamin Walker, he is a direct descendent, through Benjamin Hill or Mary Jane Fomby/Formby, the twins.
Christian Ann and her family came to Texas about the same time as my GGrandmother Fomby, my family dropped the 'r'. My grandmother is buried in Farmersville, Texas. This is about 50 miles, or less, from Cooper, Delta Co., TX.
