I have family buried in Sandhill Cemetery. I also had an uncle who went by the name of "Jack" McGaughy. He was a preacher and lived in the Tyler, Texas area. His name was Joe McGaughy, later he changed the spelling to McGaughey. This is the correct ancestoral spelling for our family. My father and his brothers and sisters were born and raised in Denton and Spur, Texas. Does any of this ring a bell ? Also your Last name is the same as Decatur, Wise Co., TX. Any connection to it ? My great grandfather brought his family to Decatur in 1879 from Dalton, GA. Is this all coincidence or what ? Wayne McGaughy
