After the Civil War part of the group migrated to Jackson Co. AL. From there in the late 1890s a smaller part of the group migrated to TX. Specifically Johnson County, TX, which is where I live. I have a large group of Honea folks in my cemetery books. To be honest there are lots more of the Honea descendants here than anywhere else I've searched. >> I wonder if your HONEAs connect with mine, who migrated to Missouri in the mid 1880s?
