We have a Baxter reunion in McKinney every year in the middle of June, and another Baxter reunion in Sulphur Springs the last Saturday in June at Uncle Max and Aunt Sherry Baxter's farm. John Leith Lewis and Aaron Baxter, our ggggrandfathers are from Cocke Co., and the Baxters owned proplerty on what they called English Mountain, by English Creek. We have pictures of the (I think Sam Baxter's) old homeplace. The Bryants are our cousins, I think through Jane Bryant, a grandmother. I am trying to find out about the Lewis line, and am stuck with John Leith Lewis and Sarah Leannah Brown Lewis Baxter. Whew! Our grandmother was Diana (Delphia in one cencus) amd I want to know who her mother was that married John Leith Lewis before he married Sarah Leannah, because Sarah had her and maybe two more (sons) before she married Aaron Baxter. That is! , if I have that right without my notes. Born in Dallas, I grew up in Greenville, Texas; but now live in Little Rock, Arkansas, and I am finding that many of them (of course had to) came through here and so there are some spotted records here of them during that time. Let me know if you can shed any light on this empasse. Thank you for your time and consideration. R. Gene Baxter Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
