Just for information; Trinity county, Texas was established in 1850 before that it was part of Houston county. In 1850 a lot of land was opened up for gift or purchase. The Trinity River also runs through Trinity county with very fertile farm lands. Between 1850 and 1860 there was a large migration of Turners into Houston, Trinity, Angelina, Nacogdoches and Shelby counties of Texas. Most of the Turners that moved into Houston county primarily came from Alabama and Mississippi. Also, the county seat of Houston county is Crockett (not the city of Houston). If you had relatives that migrated to Texas around 1850, check the following web site for Houston county http://www.rootsweb.com/~txhousto/ there is a lot of good information on this site. The original Houston county was split into four different counties around 1850. This was just for research information. Hope it helps some.

Thank you very much. I pulled up the website but haven't had a chance yet to view its contents. I hope to find some good information there. Anything always helps, you never know. We had one relative who was said to have gone "back to AL" and not only was he never from AL, he never went there either! We found him on the Trinity Co, TX census for 1860, 1870, 1880 and 1900! ed turner <[email protected]> wrote: Just for information; Trinity county, Texas was established in 1850 before that it was part of Houston county.
