The Jim Bomar you are referring to is not Jennettie Frances BOMAR LEDBETTER's father but hopefully I can tie them into my line. I have documentation and a published article that document what I wrote, they were in Wilson County, TN in 1850 when Jennettie was born and her father wasn't born in Texas. Perhaps they are relatives. Thanks for your information and I will let you know if I can tie it into my line.
