The Marriage of Iverson L. Briley, Grandson of Hardy Sellers

 Iverson L. Brily/Briley first appeared in Item 7 of the Last Will and Testament of Hardy Sellers. Iverson was the grandson of Hardy Sellers being the son of Hardy’s daughter Jane Sellers and Iverson H or T. Briley.

Hardy Sellers, b.  2 March 1757 died on 12 January 1835. We know from an equity record and the Last Will and Testament of Hardy Sellers that his daughter Jane Sellers Briley was deceased.

Iverson L. Briley was born about 1825 in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. It is believed that Iverson, Sr. and Jane migrated to Mississippi. On 9 June 1851, Iverson L. Briley, age 26, married Sarah L. Higdon in Franklin County, Mississippi. 1

Ivenson L. Briley died sometime before 1870. To this union was borne three children, all daughters.

The three daughters are:  

  • Mary E Briley aged 15 years
  • Emily L Briley aged 13 years
  • Clarissa Briley aged 11 years

After the death of Iverson L Briley, bef. 1870, Sarah L. Higdon Briley married George Washington Tier, age 22, on 6 April 1870, in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana. These records are tightly controlled by the state of Louisiana and I am unable to access them from home. Therefore, all I have to offer is an extract of data found on ancestry.com
