Shared note

During a trip through Tennessee in November of 1990, my wife and I tried to find Martha's grave. We had a map from the Franklin County Historical Society that showed the approximate location but we couldn't find the grave. A local resident, Johnny Gonzales, also helped in our search but after spending most of the morning looking, we had to give up and move on. Mr. Gonzales later found the grave and sent pictures.

Family notes written by Felix Grundy Gibson Pylant and provided by his granddaughter, Mrs. Gelene Pylant Newhouse:
Some of the Pylant cousins. Marion Pylant's father (John Pylant) first married a Jones (Zilphy Jones) and she had four children: Guilford, Pinkney, John, and Betsy. His last wife, the widow Hilliard (Martha A. Hilliard) was Marion's mother. She had three children before she married Marion's father and one of them married James Crawford and moved to Arkansas. Grandfather (John Pylant) had by his last wife: James, William, Cimbrel (? Kimball), Robert, and Marion. Marion was his youngest son - light complected, rather chunky made, and while young was quite a talker. After his mother's death he stayed with Pinkney Pylant until his cousin Bennett Pylant (Joseph Bennett Pyland) moved to Missouri and he went with him. The last heard from him, he had settled down and professed religion and was an officer in the church. Marion's father was my grandfather.
I have no doubt the Pylants west are relatives of the Pylants in Tennessee. The old stock here came from North Carolina. Some signed their names with a D to the last and some with a T, even brothers differed in this respect.
