In the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, I recently came across a book that might be helpful to some on the list. It's The Faris Family Variously Spelled VA, TN, TX 1607 - 1950. Data culled by Misses Katherine and Bess Reynolds of the Sam Sorell Chapter of the DAR, Houston, TX, 1957. Hope someone can use this info. Susan Hurt thurt@redrock.net
