Marion Briggs was my Great-grandfather, I was told he had a mother named Sarah Waycaster and that he also had a brother Bud Cox and that the Waycaster's brothers were actually half brothers. I was told that Etta (waycaster) Winters was his sister and than she lives in Elizabeth, Tenn 37643. Also that he was related somehow to John Autry and Wilson H. Harrison the U.S. President. Was his middle name Boyd?

Please reply back!! Thanks

Violet, I am very interested in any more information you might have. Please contact me if you can provide information about the family. Like, why they were living on a reservation?

Please contact my email address.

The Marion Boyd Briggs that I have was the son of Abraham Lincoln Waycaster and Sarah Elizabeth Briggs Waycaster. Abe and Sarah had 5 other sons that I know of (Will, Willard, Harli Cexton, Austin, and Charles) and 1 daughter (Rit). If I can be of further help, please email me at viowat@hotmail.com
