I have heard that the Clayton library in Houston is fabulous. I wish I were closer, about 175 miles from there. Live WAY out in the country, and closest town has 10,000 people. I believe my cousin Rodney said he checked one resource, not sure which one, and couldn't find any Darwin listed. This Darwin had lived across the state line in Choctaw CoAL and owned land there, so he could have gone back there between 1866 & 1869. If you run across the name Darwin in anything, sure would appreciate you letting me know. He was the only one with that surname in the area. Leslie Hill
