This query can, I suppose, be answered by either the Coryell List owner (Bobbie Ross) or the Hamilton List owner (myself). Bobbie is much more authorative, so I'll let her correct anything wrong that I say. The ONE tiny town of Jonesboro, TX, sits on the Coryell/Hamilton County line. In fact, the school is just inside the Hamilton line, but is considered a Coryell taxing unit. Some consider the cemetery, just across the highway from the school and inside the Coryell line, to be a Hamilton entity. So, you're not the only one confused. NOW, Bobbie Ross gets to correct my mistakes.
