    3. I would be interested in such a list. I know I have lots of the family histories of the area, or at least group sheets on them.They are a jumbled mess but Someday I had intended to write a book about KT but with the GenWeb now, it means a better place for me to put it. There is a lot of printed material out there that is great.It is just scattered. I know the trains from the Kentucky Immigration Company came in from 1852 and 55. Their last stop before KT was Waller Well in Fannin County. There were many letters sent back by the first wave that attracted more. Also many of the families in KT went on and moved to Pilot Point area together when land was too bought up in this area. So if someone is missing look in Denton County. I am working on a Grayson County website for the future. I am still swamped with Fannin County Cemetery records right now so time on it is limited till I can catch up. susan hawkins, Fannin County TxGenWeb CC Beth J wrote: > > Jeannette and list, I did send some queries to several KY mailing lists > about the 1852 Green Co KY wagon trains, unfortunately, no one there seems > to have info either.
