Good morning Linda, Your e-mail sent me in a bunch of different directions this morning. Not that I have much luck staying on a single track anyway. I thought I was familiar with No. Cal. geography, but I can't place a community of Dorrington. I do place that as a first name of one of the many PATTON's I have been working on. I have copies of his company muster roll and a pay roll for service in was of 1812. Your mention of the Bonham, TX region set off a spark in my mind that I wanted to check out. I have a book on BONHAM that mentions 4 or 5 FULLERS, but they are all in 1500-1600's as early emmigrants to this country and dissappear when Hannah FULLER maried Nicholas BONHAM in 1658. It then follows the BONHAM family, a branch of which went to TX area. The only other FULLER I could come up with is an Albert that married a Quay PEERY, probably in Marietta, Love , OK. I do not seen to be able to find much information on Al right now, but have contact with one of his sons in Battle Mtn., NV It is really nice outside and I have a major yard project in progress, so I had better get with it - again. Hope these tidbits make some sense. If there might be anything that connects to BONHAM, I'll be happy to see what I may have. Feel free to share my e-mail with your Dorrington partner... Many of the other names you mentioned are familiar to me having followed Henderson/Decatur Co. genealogy. Who was it that split Scotts Hill into two counties anyway? ss ----- Original Message ----- From: <LFLENT@aol.com> To: <TNHENDER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 9:47 PM Subject: Re: [TNHENDER] Black Bottom Road > My FULLER colleague in No. CA, near Dorrington, descends from Jordan FULLER b > Franklin Co.
