HISTORY: The Martin Ryan Memorial Cemetery is appropriately named for Martin Ryan. Martin Ryan (1842-1913) was the son of Pierre Ryan (1790-1878) and Marie-Josephe Ladner. His father, Pierre, obtained a 40 acre land patent (NW/4 of the NW/4 of Section 13, T7S-R9W) from the US Government in 1841. Pierre Ryan homesteaded here. In 1846, he acquired the S/2 of Lot 4 (SW/4 of the NW/4 of Section 13, T7S-R9W) from the US Government. The Martin Ryan Cemetery is located on this parcel. Pierre Ryan now had 80 contiguous acres and access to the Bay of Biloxi through Bayou Porteaux. This tract is immediately northwest of Gulf Hills.
Pierre and Marie Josephe Ryan reared a large family in this area of
Jackson County. Pierre provided for his family by farming, fishing,
charcoal making, and woodcutting.
Their children were:
Marie-Martha, who married Juan Antonio Rodriguez;
Caroline, who married Alfred Ladnier;
Marie Eulalie, who married Ramon Canet;
Marie, who married Thomas Hanson;
John Eugene, who married Marie Eudoxie Delaunay;
Josephine, who married Jean Baptiste Fontaine;
Edmond, who married Adele Bosarge; Rene, who married Louise Westbrook;
St. Cyr; Martin, who married Permelia Delaunay; and Eugenie.
Martin Ryan (1842-1913) married Permelia Delauney (1847-1877), of Biloxi
about 1864. She was the daughter of Robert Delauney and Claire Ladner.
Ryan made his livelihood initially on the sea. Later he was a charcoal
burner. The Martin Ryan children were:
Amanda (1867-1957), Mary Clara (1869-1910), Adolph (1871-1945), Thalie
Olivia "Juline" (1873-1957), and twins, Edward (b. 1877) and Ogerau (Angero)
(1877-1955).
Before Pierre Ryan died in 1878, he sold Martin all of Lot 4 (W/2 of
the NW/4 of Section 13, T7S-9W) on December 25, 1871.(Jackson County Deed
Records, Book 14, p. 494) He
probably lived here and the cemetery is located in the S/2 of Lot 4.
On December 2, 1912, Martin Ryan sold 34 acres in the S/2 of Lot 4 to Juline
Ryan Seymour, his daughter. (Jack-
son County Deed Records, Book 39, p. 92) Martin Ryan died in
1913.
This cemetery is unique for the large number of weath-ered cypress headboards
still remaining. It is a small but historic family cemetery and may
have been known as the Tiblier Cemetery at one time.
PRIMARY FAMILY INTERMENTS: Basque, Fountain, Ladner,
Morris, Ryan, Seymour, Tiblier, and Webb.
