Searching for Morad Bumstead emigrated to Texas 1831 from New Jersey

My gg grandfather was a morad bumstead who immigrated to texas during the time period you mentioned. He was the son of Jacob Bumstead and Rhoda Martin. My information shows he was born in 2/12/1811. Married in Texas (I have a copy of the marriage certificate) a Jane Cravey Or O'Cravey in Texas. If this is your Morad, please let me know. It would be great to share our information.

Hi! MWB is my ggg grandfather, thru his daughter Sara Fairchild, her daughter Cordelia Green, her son J. Robert Green(e). My cousin George Mitchell of Lumberton, Texas has compiled quite a lot of info on MWB and had a website and I haven't been able to locate it recently. I have copies of several documents from George showing MWB's service in the fight for Texas Independence and such. I also have the original family framed photo of Morad and Jane. The original Bumstead cemetary is located on East Walton Road in Lumberton, on the original homestead. I am currently interested in more info on MWB's father and family in NJ - if you have any info please let me know.

Sorry, misspoke - Cordelia Fairchild Green was the daughter of Mourad's daughter Olia. Also, please note the correct spelling of Mourad. Thanks, look forward to hearing from you and anybody else with info.

Sharon, Cordelia Fairchild Green was my G grandmother's, Ettie Viola Fairchild Barker, baby sister. I would love to discuss our vivid family history with you. If it would be possible I would love a copy of the documents you have on mourad. I have been to the area with my grandmother, Dorothy Barker Henderson, but she couldn't find the family cemetary, she is getting forgetful. Though she can still tell stories about her mther's family. I also have pictures of Cordelia and other family members if you are interested. My email address is BRailsback@aol.com. Please contact me!

I have some information on MWB's family. If you are interested get in touch.

Hi cousins! I am the gggrandson of Nourad Whitfield Bumstead.
My grandfather, Mourad, was his son and my father was Jim Hugh Bumstead.
We are searching Mourad's roots in New Jersey but have found little.
You can contact us at bumstead@swbell.net. We know George Mitchel and have
contact with Tom Cloud in Austin who is a descendant of Dora Bumstead Weiss.
Would love to share.
