Mr. Wyly, You do seem to know a lot about ERATH County. My father was raised there. Odas Blair son of Bez. He as the son of Leroy Jackson "Uncle Bob" as he was known to everyone even his own family. Did I have a time finding him! There are so many of them and I need children,etc. MS doesn't have TX records in fact I don't think they know it exists. Leroy was the son of Hiram in Johnson Co. and he was a Deputy Sheriff in Hood County living near Lipan before he died in 1931. Thanks, Wanda
