Hi, Donna -- We have a collateral line with a Benjamin F Irvin, b 26 Aug 1873 in Marshall Co, AL; married Mary Z Hostetter 22 Dec 1892; d 24 Nov 1855. Some of that line did spend some time in TX. This Benjamin was the third of six sons of our Benjamin Franklin Irvin. Our line is from the second son, Ptolemy. I have found several other Benjamin Franklin Irvins. This is intriguing because the dates are close. Dorothy
