gnwrose Routed to Henry Co. List Did I infer correctly that you are in Polk County, Texas? I read the Henry County, Alabama, List. I had an ancestral couple there in 1850: Irvin and Nancy WALDEN WILLIAMS. His parents already lived in Shelby County, Texas. Her parents were in Henry County but soon to move to Florida. I don't research the names you do, but I just felt like commenting. I know that a number of families from Henry Co. did move to Shelby Co. because in reading records, queries, census etc. of both places it is amazing to see the same names. OATES, SHIPP, HUTTO, SCOTT et al. . One interesting little bit: By 1880, my Irvin and Nancy WILLIAMS had moved on to Shelby Co., Texas. On the census they still had six children at home and they had a six month old child enumerated with them who was listed as "boarder." His name was Thomas GALLOWAY. Many years ago when I began researching, no one could identify him and I was never able to make a GALLOWAY connection. My thought is that perhaps the infant's mother had died and they were caring for him. As support for that thought, there is only one other GALLOWAY listed in the county. He is 21 years old and he, too, is named Thomas GALLOWAY. He is listed as a boarder with a WHIDDEN family and the call numbers are only seven numbers apart. Charlene Brazell
