Hi Dorice, My great-great grandparents, William and Mary Ann Vannoy Burns, moved onto Peppers Creek before about 1853. I'll see if I can find out when. They came from Benton Co. ARK. Before that they came from Franklin Co. Tennessee. I know my dad has talked about the Peppers in TX. I can't ask him anything right now. Later probably. I'll keep my eye out for your names. Maybe there's other info we should switch.
