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.
