Okay. Forgot to paste the county site. Here we go again. Here is a useful site that will give you the information on each Texas County, date it was formed, parent county, county seat, and size in area. This address previously omitted: http://209.45.151.186/lsj/texians/counties.htm The main site this is off of is "Lone Star Junction": http://www.lsjunction.com/ Then go to "Online Database". If you've never checked this site before,it has many interesting sites, as well as the original Texians, and is searchable by surname. My Ivy's are on this database.
