Vicki, Thanks. I wrote a line wrong in my message to you. I said, I am trying to research this line and I should have said this Surname. I just have the name of my husband's great grandfather, Jesse Robert Lemmon/d/s on the Bell County Texas tax roll in 1887 and then in Delta County in 1890. He came to Texas from Pontotoc County, Mississippi, in about 1886 or so. Prior to that he was in Randolph County, Alabama and then Morgan County, Georgia. He married while he lived in Randolph County, AL (m across the State line in Georgia) and he served in the Confederate Army from Randolph County. Between September 1870 and April 1873 he left Alabama and moved to Mississippi. I have always wondered what the draw to Bell County, Texas, was and have seen a few mentions of the surname in that county. We believe that the Lemmon female that married a Berry was connected with our line of Lemmons and they came to Bell County, also. I live in McComb, Mississippi. But we are Texans. I was born in Comanche County and had a number of Bell County, Texas relatives. Stewart, Wilkinson, Harmon, another allied names were Fewell. My husband was born in Ellis County and we met and married in Tarrant County. We lived about 8 1/2 years in Beaumont, the same in Lake Charles, LA, then about 21 years on the West Bank in the New Orleans area. Then in the fall of 1993 we moved north about 100 miles to McComb. I do not know it the Lemmon lines are connected but would like to learn more about yours and those living there now. Thanks Virginia
