Henry L. was a farmer and the local judge.(JP). Is there anything that can verify this or anything about the life of Henry or Thomas W.? Thomas Franklin's wife ..Florence Belle Knox Taylor had 2 sisters in Texarkana. Ruby HIGHTOWER and Beatrice. Ruby ran a publishing business and a Sanitorium or Nursing home in Texarkana for years. Any information would be very helpful. Thanks to all!
