thanks Linda, but I don't know anything else about him other than he is white, was a Baptist Preacher and they raised leghorn chickens near Palestine. >>>"I didn't find him indexed in 1900 Texas as either Darnell of Durnell. Any other suggestions? Can you give me his race, birthplace, and/or approximate year of birth?
