Hi, you said one magic Word- Spring Hill, Navarro County- my neighbors in Hill County were "Pop" and Nona (Scott?) Smith his sons Monnie or Monty and brother Lynn earned Eagle Scout badges the same night our son Rick did, in Brandon Troop 869. I wonder if Boy Scout records can be accessed to find missing links? Mr. Smith retired from LTV iun Dallas and was in a car pool from Hill County. Seems his childhood home was near Donie, Navarro County. Mrs. Smith wrote several articles for Hillsboro newspapers about apparently her Sevier Ancestors in Knoxville, Tennessee, including Valentine ( Volin-Tin) Sevier of Milford, Tesax- seems he left sons and wife driving a coverred wagon and he would ride ahead towards California. They were to meet him at the Ford of a creek in Hill county, now called Millford. He returned and said this land was better than any he saw , so they settled there. Sons or Grandsons lived in Itasca, Texas. One has Insurance ofice in Killeen today. One was a Vocational Teacher whom I knew in State Contests. I did not realize then that they may have been my Sevier Cousins- but the old Gov. Sevier had 17 kids, and had grandkids who had married Cherokee descendants of those Col. Sevier fought and helpped remove to the West. BACK TO SPRING HILL- when we were cleaning out old books from Walnut Springs library that the State Accreditation teasm considerred not relevant to student needs- I got some old discarded books - also some discarded from Clifton Junior College, brought to me by a County Library consultant out of Meridian. One of these books- was a Pre Civil War Algebra book, well bound- Bourdon's Algebra, translated from French by Davies. On the Fly page it had- in Quill pin Script writing with acid ink- SPRING HILL, ALABAMA TO SPRING HILL , TEXAS, 1868, signed by WYLY HOLLINGSWORTH. the swirls let the ink fill the loops and acid ink had left holes in the paper. Some of these Hollingsworths are now in Hillsboro and one is a Coach, formerly at Whitney. One McCarty in Duffau was named WYLY McCARTY. Wonder why seversl in Central Texas had thwe middle or forst name of Wyly- Most from Tennessee and States south of Tennessee? I havew found no connection on family trees. One Smith was my Sunday School Teacher at Pony Creek, 1940's. She and her husband Walter Smith had a peanut farm near Stephenville adjoining Bills land, but lived nearer Pony Creek in blackland. Seems her first name was Cloye or Clory. Take care, Charles A. Wyly
