Bill, I found two TYE families on the AR 1880 census. If neither are your family, let me know and I will search some more. Tell me their birth dates, at least the year, if you know. There were no Gees in Columbia, however there are some in Nevada, Hempstead, and Union Cos. I could not find the Boswells in AR. Do you know the State where they could have gone? I looked for them separately. Carleen Census Place: Jackson, Boone, Arkansas Source: FHL Film 1254039 National Archives Film T9-0039 Page 503A Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace John S.
