I'll look into that Trout family some more. To throw a wrench into things, the Mary Benson listed in Cooke County 1880 is James Benson's SECOND wife (not Mary Trout, but also named Mary). I am not sure if the James Benson in Fannin County is in fact my James Benson, but considering the information I have (Trout surname), it seems to be a good bet. Do you know of any marriage record indeces from this time period in Fannin, Grayson, or Cooke County? I have checked ancestry.com to no avail, but I think their index is missing the years I need. Thanks again for the leads! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
