Margaret E. Andruss O'Briant

Margaret was born Feb. 25, 1835 in Jefferson Co. TN. She married William Alonzo O'Briant ca. 1851, a veteran of the Mexican War, (1846-8).

Information is sketchy because we have only found one descendant, and he knows nothing of this family's history. William brought Margaret to Texas. By 1880 the family was found in Falls Co. TX. In 1900 they lived in McLennan Co. around Waco TX. Two of her sons learned the tinner trade from their uncle, George Wesley Andruss.

William died in 1902. Margaret lived in Quanah TX with her daughter, Addie O'Briant Rodgers in 1910 and 1916; in 1920 and 1925 she lived with her son, George L. O'Briant in Corsicana TX. She died in 1928 at the age of 93 and is buried in Lorena Cemetery at Waco TX.
