The Mark David Gossett Home Page

Updated August 15, 2004

I am researching ancestors from several branches of my family tree. My father, Haskell Eugene GOSSETT was born and raised in Rusk County, Texas. His parents were Howard Absalom GOSSETT and Leola Lorene BRISCO. My mother, Patricia Gail HAYS, was born in Turkey, Texas and was raised in several cities including Austin, Texas and Altus, Oklahoma. Her parents were William Thomas HAYS, Jr. and Lenora Belle CANNON.

My Great Grandparents were Thomas Joshua BRISCO and Ettie Pearl WAFFER; William Thomas HAYS, Sr. and Josephine Louisa WOODALL; George Howard GOSSETT and Madel HOUSTON; Raleigh Milburn CANNON and Frances Cleveland DAVIS.

Other surnames in the various branches include: ALLEN, ARMSTRONG, AVRA, BLANTON, BOLEWARE, BOONE, BRAA, CHASTAIN, CHOTE, CHOUINARD, COPELAND, DANIEL, DUMBECK, EVANS, FLOWERS, FORTIN, GANNON, HITE, HUGHES, INMAN, JOHNSON, KENNAH, LADNER, LEVERETT, MAXEY, MERREL, MILLER, MURRAY, NOWELL, OLIVAREZ, RIVARD, SHIVELY, SMITH, STANSBERRY, TATE, VARNELL, WALKER, WELCH, WILLIAMS & WYLIE...just to name a few!

Feel free to take a look around and see if you and I have any connections. Any info about your connections would be very well appreciated. The info in these pages is updated periodically, so please come back for another visit.

HAYES / HAYS NOTE: As of recently (9-8-2001), the Hayes / Hays line has greatly increased. This new data has got to be credited to one of my contacts, Roger Daryl Hays of Burleson, Texas. He along with the help of Wayne Pailloz of Dillard, Georgia have been doubling their efforts to get ready a new book on the Hays Family to be published this October 2001. My thanks, as well as yours, should go out to these two men.
