Sandy, I'm afraid that that story was the only one that I have any basis for knowing the route that they took. And that was because several people from the Hempstead Co., AR Historical group got out several years ago before some of these people died and got them to tell the stories. Another of my ggrandfathers left Georgia and went to Arkansas and I can only conjecture which route he took and how they traveled. Within a year after they left GA, (I know the approximately time because one of my aunts said that her father was three when they left) they were in Bosque Co., TX, which is west of Waco. Four or five years later they were in Hempstead Co., AR where his only daughter was born. One of his sons settled in southern LA. Did they travel through LA on the way to TX? Maybe. But I have recently found that his wife's father was in Hempstead Co., about the time they left GA. Did they travel through AR on the way to TX? I'm afraid that all the one's who could tell me that are no longer around and I didn't ask them when they were here. For those who still have someone to ask, ask. Charles
