Four Photos of A Sidney Flewellin With Blake B. Pyron - From Aunt Ida Pyron Oliver Collection Bernard Pyron

Four Photos of A Sidney Flewellin With Blake B. Pyron - From Aunt Ida Pyron Oliver Collection  Bernard Pyron

I am not sure when these photos were taken.  The photos might have been taken before the twenties, since my father, on the left, looks like he is in his twenties, and so does Sidney Flewellin, his first or second cousin in the photo of the Two Donkey Riders, with my father Blake B. Pyron on the left. There was a  Sidney J. Flewellin, born in 1868, in Lavaca county, Texas to my grant aunt Eugenia H. Pyron Flewellin and Jefferson Franklin Flewellin, 1833-1882.  They married in Ashley county, Arkansas in 1865 before they went to Texas, probably in 1867, and probably with grandfather A.M. Pyron.  And it may be that they went to Lavaca county in Texas because Jefferson Franklin Flewellin had relatives in La Vaca county, Texas.  The son of Great Aunt Eugenia H. Pyron, born in 1868,  is too old to be the Donkey Rider on the Right.  There was another Sidney Flewellin, maybe a son of the Flewellin son of Eugrnia, or her grandson, born in1887,but died  in 1923.   I talked on the phone about 15 years ago with still another Sidney Flewellin, 1933-2008, in San Antonio who knew who I am.

And  recently I made contact with Tristen Flewellin on Facebook, who gave me the phone number of an older Flewellin man, in his mid sixties, John Flewellin, son of Sifney Flewellin the man I talked on the phone with about 15 years ago.  John does not have a computer.

My older sister Mary knew about the Flewellin-Pyron connection through Great Aunt Eugenia Pyron.  Mary talked about a Flewellin man who often came out to Smerset from San Antonio to visit his Pyron cousins. Mary may have herself known this Flewellin when she was young in Somerset.  I am not sure now which Flewellin this was, and so far I have not found anything Mary left in writing about the Flewellin-Pyron connection.

Collection

This is an interesting photo from Aunt Ida Pyron Oliver's Collection.  The young woman on the right looks like Aunt Clara, and the young man may very well be a Flewellin.

This is a photo of the four surving Pyron daughters, as they looked at this time, whenever it was. Their mother, grandmother Virginia Pyron, is with them here. I think the bootom right sister is Aunt Clara, and the one above her is Aunt Jessie.  The bottom sister on the left may be Aunt Ida and the one above her Aunt Mary who died in 1939 or 1940.

MYSTERY MAN WITH THREE SISTERS Bernard Pyron

 Mystery Man With Three Sisters

This is one of many photos from the Photo Collection of Aunt Ida that Derek Hilton Penny sent to me.  I am not sure of who any of these four people are.  

But my interest is in the possibility that the three sisters are the daughters of A.M. Pyron, 1846-1932 and Virginia Blackburn Pyron, 1856-1943 - and that the young man with them is a Flewellin, either the son of my great aunt Eugenia Harriet Pyron Flewellin, or the Flewellin grandson of Eugenia H. Pyron Flewellin.

The young woman on the right looks like she might be Aunt Clara, the youngest of the four Pyron sisters alive in the twenties and thirties.  If she is Aunt Clara, then there is the possibility that the man is Melvin Johnson, who was or became her husband.

I remember when Melvin Johnson plowed the ten acres just south of our place in the late thirties and early forties, with horses, since he did not have a tractor at that time.  I also remember that Melvin Johnson was at the Christmas Celebrations that the entire Pyron family held when grandmother was alive at the home of Clara and Melvin Johnson..  After grandmother died in 1943 the family stopped having Christmas celebrations together.

The photo here from he Ida Oliver collection is of my father Blakc Pyron, 1889-1964, with a Flewellin, who may be a son or grandson of Eugenia Pyron Flewellin.

A Flewellin on horseback, maybe Daddy's horse,  from the Ida Oliver Collection I think taken when he was in his twenties, or from about 1910 to 1918.
