Joseph Charles married Mary Etta (Etty) Holroyd on March 7, 1879 in Houston Co., TX.
1900 U S Federal Census:
Houston County, Coltharp, Texas
Drennan, Joseph C. 63, Mary E., 46
Children: Susan M., 17; Abb W., 14; Minnie, 10; Ollie M, 8; and Leona P. 1
++++++++++++
Joseph came to Texas with his family in the 1850's or 1860's. He came from South Carolina to Alabama to Texas. Some of the travelers in the wagon train were the Wells, McKinneys, Conners, Campbells and a bunch more. In 1870 he was living in Coltharp with wife Mary J. (born in Mississippi) and three children, including 4 month-old Phoebe J. In 1880 he was a widower, still in Houston County, with those same three children, including 10 year-old Phoebe, plus one more child age 2. His wife may have died when that child was born. His sister and her two children were living with him, probably to help care for all those children.
