Jim -- this doesn't appear to be the same Majors family. I know that my group came out of Virginia to eastern Tennessee in the late 1700s and probably had roots in Baltimore earlier than that. They stopped off in Indiana briefly on the way to Missouri. The only male survivor of this family that I know of moved to West Plains after the Civil War.
