Following is an excerpt from a family document entitled History of the Bynum Family: Family Tree of Mrs. Pearl Bynum Cox that was written about her family members for her 40th wedding anniversary by her sister in law Mattie (Orville Bynum's wife).
The eldest son of Uncle Dock Bynum was Thomas I. Bynum, father of Mrs. Cox. He was born in Blount County, Alabama, Jan. 19, 1860, and came to Texas with his parents in 1869. He walked to Texas behind an ox wagon; there were several families in the bunch and the wagons were loaded so it was necessary for the older children to walk. Uncle Tom, as he was commonly known as, happened to be one of the number that walked behind the wagons. He recalls only two short rides on the whole trip.
One was with a stranger who happened along on horseback, and feeling sorry for the little fellows who were trudging along knee-deep in mud, stopped and picked up the smallest one, who happened to be Uncle Tom, and let him ride quite a distance down the trail. When his Mother missed him she was very muchly excited, fearing that he had been kidnapped by the stranger, but it proved out to be just a neighborly deed. The other ride he recalls was on the steamboat across the Mississippi River.
On reaching Texas, they located in Titus County. Several years later they moved to Ellis County, where he, Thomas I. Bynum, met and courted Willie Gilmore, who was born Jan. 16, 1864 on a farm twelve miles west of Waxahachie. This courtship led to their marriage which took place August 5, 1880 at the home of the bride's parents on the same farm where she had been born and reared.
They continued to reside in Ellis County until 1885, when they moved to Comanche County. They lived until 1893 there, then returned to Ellis County. They stay there until through Fall of 1897, when they with their family in a covered wagon drawn by horses this time, set out for West Texas. And on January 1, they landed on the prairies of Scurry County, four miles west of Snyder, where they lived 44 years.
