Betty & her husband were in TX but moved to MO and then to AR. Some undocumented information exist on their family. Richard Franklin died in Falls County and may be buried at Powers Chapel. Martin, I believe still has some descendants residing near Waco. Mary Alice...and Jim Hay both died in Falls County and are reportedly buried at Powers Chapel, Rosebud. Walter, Claud, and their mother, Mathilda, moved to Collin County and are buried there. Hope others are researching these folks and we can exchange information.
