Posted on: Bowie County Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Tx/Bowie/522 Surname: FERRIS, SPEAR, SPEARS, STEVENS, HAWKINS, YOUNG, THREADGILL, BLEVINS, BELVINS, LANE, DOWNEY, WILLINGHAM, PAYTON, BRANTLEY ------------------------- I am searching for all of the people in the below family genealogy for a dear friend of mine. We are looking for any and all information on these persons. Unfortunately, what you see is all that we have. There is family oral history that says one of these lines are Wea or Miami Indiana, and another line Cherokee. Also some Irish or German. IF any of you have these persons in your line, or know something about them, please contact me ASAP. Thank you.
