John I don't know. His siblings are not from the Houston area, and I don't know if any of them moved there from Whitewright.

Recently I received documents from my cousin, one was a sympathy card from my fathers uncle, Rev. R. L. Cates of Detroit Texas. Does anyone know where Detroit Texas is? The card was sent July 1955.

Detroit, TX is on U.S. Highway 82, two miles from the Lamar county line in western Red River County. > Recently I received documents from my cousin, one was a sympathy card from my fathers uncle, Rev.

My grandfather, Samuel Perry Griffin married a Mable Miller from Bonham TX. Until now, we thought he was an only child, however we find that he had an older brother, John William Griffin (known as Will Griffin) born circa 1876 to Troy and Perry Griffin from Fayette CO Alabama. Records say Will was born in TX but he resided with his family in ALA and OK. Is there any connection here re: Will Griffin?
