There were also a lot of HUNTS and BASSES in Hallsville, so you might want to check around where they came from -- Gibson County, TN by way of Wilson County, TN, before that Franklin/Nash County area of NC. Hopefully, your FORDS migrated with one of the above. Oh, the LaGRONES migrated through GA, AL, MS, etc. Good luck. Zou Feagin zfeagin@aol.com
