The first site below has transcriptions of old microfilmed newspapers from Collin County, TX including many many surnames with connections to TN. Definitely worth a look if your ancestors moved to Texas - covers 1860-1936. Use your browser search feature. Also some interesting stories and even old recipes. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairis/9473/ The second site is mine and is just barely up. It has Wilson County BENNETT, PALMER, TARVER, IRBY, TIPPET, GREEN, JOPLIN, etc. connections. The family tree part is still under construction (slowly driving me nuts), but editing is ongoing so keep checking back. http://www.geocities.com/janice59821 Jan Bennett
Did you by any chance have McFarland or MacFarland relatives in Wilson Co, TN...near Lebanon in the 1820-1855 time frame? While we aren't directly related, there was a group of McFarlands that also were friends of family who were in Wilson Co, TN to Warrensburg, MO to Colorado....
