TN /TX Vandergriffs
I'm searching for the family of Minnie Vandergriff who married Alvin C. Wilson in Hopkins Co., TX on September 28, 1896.Minnie's parents were William M. Vandergriff and Malinda T. Parker, William and Malinda were married August 07, 1873 in De Kalb Co., TN.Both are buried in Gafford Chapel Cemetery in Hopkins Co., TX. Malinda died in 1908 but I don't have the date of deat for William.
The children of William and Malinda were:Adam D., Minnie N., Bettie M., William Alfred, Mannie Pearl Parrish, Allen C., Isaac Herbert and Bessie O.All were born in TN.Bessie O. was born in May, 1890, so they came to TX sometime after that date, since Bessie was born in TN.
Alvin Wilson, who married Minnie Vandergriff, had two children, Edgar and Mary (Mae) Ann, when he married Minnie. Edgar was given away to a family by the name of Woody in Sand Springs, OK.Mary Ann was listed with this new family census of 1900 in Hopkins Co, TX.There is also a son, William, born in Dec., 1898, listed on this census.
Family lore suggests that Alvin and Minnie left TX and ended up in Oregon but I have been unable to verify this information.Any information on this family would be MOST welcome.
