Hello everyone! I am a new member - let me introduce myself and my ancestors. I am Nancy Cason, and live in Garland, Texas. My Callahan County ancestors are John and Nancy Carlile, my great-great grandparents. They moved to Callahan County in the late 1870's, when they got a land grant. They lived in Belle Plain and later in Baird. I understand there has been a book written on Belle Plain: Belle Plain, Texas: ghost town in Callahan, by Thomas Robert Havins. Does anyone know if there are still copies available, and if so, where? Would love to hear from other Carliles. Also, Nancy Carlile's son by a former marriage, Mark Lucas Jones, was in Callahan County for about 10 years in the 1870's-1880's. He was my great-grandfather. His daughter (my grandmother), Nancy Florence Jones, was born in Baird in 1885. Any Joneses connect? Thanks, Nancy
