From Handbook of Waco and McLennan County Texas:
Hiram Jackson Breland, a former Confederate soldier, moved his wife and 6[sic] children from MS to Mart, TX in 1867. In 1872 he bought a homestead one mile west of Mart and built the first house of lumber in the community, a year later. He donated the land for the first church organized in Mart and also began a petition for a public school. Printed in Mart Herald, June 25, 1936. Submitted by contributor #47179832, 17 Aug 2016.
He served in the CSA Mississippi 9th Reg. Cav., Co. D. According to his grandson, Clifton Breland, former Postamaster of Mart, in his 1978 Book "The Breland Family," Hiram J actually left MS for Texas, upon returning home from the Civil War and finding his estate depleted, and "after about a year came to where Mart is now, staying on the south end of what is now S. Carpenter Street." After a couple of moves, he built the home, then occupied by Clifton in 1873.
