My husband's great grandparents also came to Tx about 1861 with a group from either California, Mo or Paris, Mo. This group settled in Grayson Co and some went back to Barry Co, Mo after the war (Civil War). We have been unable to find out why they went in the first place. The names are Holt (from Moniteau) and Johnson (Paris)
