Jerry and Beth (and anyone else) -- wonder if my PIERCE and REEVES kin were on that same wagon train? They were from Clinton Co., KY, but I don't know when they left. (Clinton Co. is in middle KY on the TN line) Others that I believe came on one or more wagon trains were NEATHERY and GRIDER, and probably many more. Thanks, Linda Searching: PIERCE - REEVES - BURCHETT (KY to TX by 1883) ALLISON - HOWARD (VA to SC to AL to TN to East TX by 1834) REVEALE / REVEILE / REVIELE etc. - ? to TX bef. 1860 HARLING - SC to TX bef. 1890 ----- Original Message ----- From: "jerry owen" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 07, 2000 1:29 PM Subject: Re: [GRAYSON] ABELL, Collin/Grayson Co TX > Beth J wrote: > > > > Hi, am looking for any info on the following: > > > > John Madison Abell b. 1839 Marion Co KY m.
