Hello Everyone, My folks have been in Bell and Coryell Cos. for quite some time now. I have quite a bit of info on Joseph DENNIS since he was pretty high profile. Burrell HUGGINS ran/owned a general store at one point but I don't have much more on him. The rest of my folks seemed to be pretty quiet. Probably just getting on with the business of surviving. So, if anyone has any additional info, I would certainly appreciate it. MaryAnn: I have access the Bell Co books at the Dallas library and have looked at them pretty extensively. Maybe I missed something? Thanks to all, Sharon Dorman Subject: [TXBELL-L] BOONE, GLOVER, WRIGHT, DENNIS, NEAL, THORNTON, Hargrove Richmond Pearson Boone b 1803 KY came to TX in 1851 from AR.
