Notes for Eany Ellen Marchant:[dtmarc~1.FTW]
INDIVIDUAL_NOTE
FROM: Her children. Aunt Enie Ellen Marchant Cooper told her son
Samuel Warren Cooper the following story: Back before she married and
uncle lived in West Texas.He came to Arkansas to visit the family.
He offered Aunt Ellen a section of land if she would go back with him
to Texas.She was young and did not go at that time.She also said
the Texas Marchants changed the name a little. She did not say how but
I believe they spelled the name Merchant and it goes back to Bedford
County, Tennessee when John and Edward moved to Alabama and then to
Texas.I still believe James who lived next door to Wiley B. Marchant
was either his uncle or his father. This story was related to me by
her son Samuel Warren in 1961 when I visited with him at Dial, just
South of Honey Grove, TX. in Fannin County. Aunt Ellen was dead by
this time and there was no family record of the Marchants left by Aunt
Ellen Cooper that I could find.
