I cannot discover the trails that my Watson family used to come to TX from GA. They were in AL in 1840 and in Jackson Parish LA in 1850 and were in Parker Co. TX by 1856. Oral history says they returned with Oliver Loving when he came home from a trail drive. I discounted that tale for years but read recently that Oliver Lovings's first trail drives were to central LA, so is probably true. Most of those who came to TX settled in Palo Pinto Co. but that was the frontier and Nathan Watson raised "fine" horses (TN walking horses according to one acct.) and you do not raise horses on the frontier! He suffered some indian losses at any rate. Would appreciate any input or ideas of trails. Bobbie
