Looking for information about the family of my great grandfather, John M. ORAND, b. 1847 in TN, d. after 1900 in TX, md. ca1869 Mary F. BRANDON/BRANNON, b. 1851 TN, d. after 1900 in TX. His father was born in NC and his mother in TN. Both of Mary's parents were born in TN. John and Mary are listed in the 1880 Christian Co KY census in the Hopkinsville Dist. with children William ORAND age 10 b. KY, Wesley M. ORAND age 7 b. KY, John R. ORAND age 3 b. KY and Georgia B. age 1 b. KY. This maybe the same John ORAND that is listed in the 1870 Fulton Co KY census. The family moved to Lampasas Co TX before 1883. In the 1900 census John's occupation is listed as "horse trader." This would be consistent with an old family story that he was shot and killed in a saloon after being accused of stealing a horse.
Year: 1900; Census Place: Justice Precinct 1, Lampasas, Texas; Roll: T623 1653; Page: 4B; Enumeration District: 102.
