I find your post about the Haile family interesting. Would you happen to know about a Finetta Hale or Haile who lived close to the Lincoln, Bedford and Marshall County line in Tenn. Parents unkown. Married John Nichols ca 1835. Had a son named Moses Carroll Nichols. John Nichols had a brother Henry who named a child Christopher Columbus. Course I know they use Christopher in famlies quite ofton. But using the Carrol name is a good lead for anyone to go by. The Nichols family left Tenn and went to Fannin, Collin and Grayson Counties in Texas. Which you know borders Cooke County. Some even went to Montague County which borders to the west of Cooke. Anyway like I said I know nothing about the Haile line. If you can help I sure would like to hear what you may know. Who is the Mary Louisa Nichols who md Leeford Hudson? And where did they marry? Hope you have a nice and rewarding reunion. Gay Nix Grayson Co, Texas >Livy Ann Cavin & Mead J.
