Nell Thanks for the rationale Richard and Geraldine are found in 1900 residing in Callahan co.

HATCHER website: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com HALL DNA project: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hall/HDNAtest.htm "If you can't stand the skeletons, stay out of the closet" - Val D Greenwood Hmmm....maybe another piece of rationale. I see that Navarro and Freestone are adjacent counties. But I've yet to find Callahan Co. Seems his family moved to Callahan pre-1900 while Guy hopped over into NavarroCo and found himself a job and place to live. Then the family returned, not to Freestone but to Navarro where Richard died 1906. Nel
Callahan County is located in west Texas. If you travel west on Interstate 20, you will pass through Callahan County just before you get to Abilene, Texas. I personally never heard of it either, but dug out my trusty map. It is a good distance from Navarro and Freestone Counties. I live in Limestone County which adjoins Freestone County and Navarro.
