THE MINT HILL NORTH CAROLINA PYRONS

"The Scots-Irish were a major part of this cultural evolution, being as they were generally part of the broad non-slave holding class in the South and Border States. "
There are reasons to suspect that William Calvin Pyron. Revolutionary War Veteran, 1757-1850, who lived in the Mint Hill area of North Carolina, with his son and grand son had traits characteristic of the Scots-Irish. Some of them were Presbyterians, they lived among the Scots-Irish and intermarried with at least one family with a Scots-Irish name, Carlock. Some of the children of William C.Pyron born maybe 1770, son of William C. Pyron, 1757-1850, and Nancy Crowell:are"
Andrew Jackson "Jack" Pyron 1814 - My Great-grandfather -
Matilda Pyron 1815 -
Thomas Russell Pyron 1821 -
.John Calvin Pyron 1824 -
.Andrew Jackson, John Calvin and Martilda and her husband
Camilius Carlock, all went west, while Thomas Russell Pyron stayed in North
Carolina. I found Uncle Thomas through his Presbyterian church in the
Mint Hill area east of Charlotte. He lived to be old, and held what
his church called the Bains Cain, as the oldest member of the
congregation.
See:https://www.ancestry.com/boards/surnames.pyron/87/mb.ashx . Message board which says "... a John Calvin PYRON (b. 1824) marrying a Mary Isabella CARLOCK:"
When Andrew Jackson Pyron and his wife both died of an infectious disease in Louisiana in about 1859. great-grandfafther Andrew Jackson Pyron's brother put the two youngest children, Annie and Angela in an orphanage in New Orleans and took my grandfather Aurelius Milton, born 1846, and his older sister Eugenia.to live with him and his family near Hamburg, Arkansas. I am not sure where Aunt Matilda and her husband Camilius Carlock lived in Arkansas, but maybe also in that southeast corner of the state. The Mary Isabella Carlock that John Calvin Pyron married may have been the sister of Camilis Carlock who married Aunt Matilda Pyron.
There may be descendants of Matilda Pyron Carlock in Arkansas. Matilda was my grandfather's aunt, and would be my great-great aunt.
Andrew Jackson Pyron, born about 1814 and died about 1859, married Sarah C Simmons and their children are:
Eugenia H Pyron
Aurelius Milton Pyron. 1846-1932
Angeline Zuelma Pyron, . 1853-1950
Annie Pyron, Born 1850
Jennie Pyron - I don;t know where this fifth child's name is recorded or if she even existed.
My older sister Mary Pyron Bush "Found some records on our great-grandfather Andrew J. Pyron
from a business partnership between Andrew J. Pyron and John Mitchell
in Berwick City, Louisiana. Mary says that between the 1850 census
and 1857 the date of the Mitchell Company mercantile business
records, Andrew and Sarah had two more daughters, Annie and Angie."
Mary also says " We know that Andrew Jackson and his wife Sarah both died in an
epidemic that passed through Berwick, Louisiana in about 1859, leaving
their four children orphans. A letter ,
by William A. Pyron, son of John Calvin Pyron, grandfather's uncle,
confirms that grandfather was taken to live with Uncle John Calvin and
his family in Arkansas. The letter from William A. Pyron also
mentions that grandfather left for Texas with his sister, one sister
and not three. "
I have seen evidence that Great Aunt Annie married in Lavaca county, Texas, indicating that she was united at some time in the Sweet Home area of Lavaca county with grandfather and her older sister Eugenia, and probably Angeline was also united with them. Because they were probably poor all four of them may have lived together in Lavaca county, Texas at one time. Aunt Annie married the first cousin of the famous Texas rodeo cowboy Clay McGonnagill of Sweet Home in Lavaca county, Texas. Information dug up from www.ancestry. com shows that great aunt Annie Pyron married William Washington McGonagill in Lavaca county, Texas in 1870. They later moved to the northern part of the Texas hill county. She is buried in McCulloch county.
On the U.S. Census reports for the three Pyron families in the Mint Hill area of North Carolina in the years before right 1865 no slaves are listed. Although slaves were not listed by name on the Census. slaves were listed.
