From COLLIN COUNTY IN PIONEER TIMES Selections from THE GEORGE PEARIS BROWN PAPERS.....pulbished by The Collin County Historical Society, corner of Chestnut and Virginia Streets, McKinney Texas 75069. page 105 "A log house built baout 1853 or before, located about one mile south east of the present (1931) Walnut Grove Church about 12 miles west of Mckinney, on the south side of Jamison Branch, named for Harrison Jamison and 1/2 mile southwest of the Capt Jones old home place. It was called Sway Back......................" From the same book on page 122 "What is now known as the Walnut Grove Congregation of the Presbyterian Church USA (1931) was then the United of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church." Also from the same book page 38 MRS A R EPPS (nee Miss Lucy Jane Phillips) Interviewed: McKinney, Texas July 30, 1931 From COLLIN COUNTY Pioneering in North Texas By Hall On page 61.............. "Other county schools started before the Civil War. One of first was near Westminister and was called Martin Box and was established in 1860 Another began at Walnut Grove in 1856 and was known as Swayback....." [In 1937-08-09 it was called Walnut Grove School. I know this because my mother taught 1 through 6 grades there and Mrs Crank taught 7 through 11 or 12 there. I went to the 4th grade there. Mr Cooper Mr Martin and Mr Malone were trustees for the school.]

There is a whole section of County books and the people there are gracious and helpful. There may be tax records that would also show some family records.

I am searching for information on Mary Ann (Mollie) King, who was married to William H. Penn. Mollie was born in Bartow County, GA in 1845 to Elisha King and Mary Reese and came to TX with her husband, William, in 1869 and settled in the Rockwall area. They had three children, Annie, Maude, and Laura Ida. Mollie was killed by a train in Greenville in 1923 and is buried in Farmersville, TX. I have hit a brickwall, but am still hoping to find someone who can help to fill in the blanks. Sue

>Georgia, Thanks for the information. I had most of it except the marriage date. I have been researching the Cryer families in TX for several years, as my grandmother was a Cryer. I was hoping to get an obit to see if they had more children and to get Teressa's parents names. Faye -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
