| George H. and Susannah Lambkin Brantner were the progenitors of the early
Brantner lineages in Texas. Their descendancy has been fairly well documented. Less
is known, however, about their oldest daughter, Mary Jane Brantner. Just this year
(2003) I learned of her grave in this cemetery, and more information about
her lineage is becoming available. Mary Jane Brantner married William Isaiah Johnson, whose sister, Margaret Jane Johnson married Mary Jane's brother, John Mathious Brantner. Mary and William Isaiah had four children, and three of their graves have been located, as indicated on the family group sheet. Two of the Johnson daughters, Ellen Nora and Florence both married Jenkins -- first thought to be brothers, but now there is evidence they had separate parents. Florence and William James Jenkins are also buried in the Weinert Cemetery. Ellen and John Robert Jenkins are buried in Petteway Cemetery, Robertson County, Texas. Two years after William Isaiah's death in 1879, Mary Jane married Henry Dallam, and they had four children. Henry died in 1911, but his grave location is not known. One of the children, Ruby Dallam Wilson, is buried with her grandmother, Susannah Lambkin Brantner, in the old pioneer S. C. S. Ellis Cemetery in Stephens County. |
