I grew up in Collin Co. and I knew a Ground/Grounds family in Van Alstyne (Grayson Co. actually, but it was part of the territory from which Collin and other counties were formed) Van Alstyne is just across the northern Collin line. The only first name I can remember right now is Madison---Madison Grounds. He would be about 55 now. Maybe a lead on another county, or a person? Hope it helps. Mitzi Hammond Perkins
