Dortha -- Thank you for your reply. You are correct that Covington, TX is in Hill CO. The only Freeman I have in my tree is Taylor Freeman who married Lillie Mae Taylor, and his father seems to have been J. T. Freeman: 1880 Census - Rusk CO, TX -age 30-TX, living with J. T. Freeman (68-TX), Peggy (48-TX), Mittie (9-Tx). We know that Samuel B Taylor was born in TN, (Lillie Mae's father) and it would be nice to make a connection with Lincoln CO, TN since he is my brick wall. However I can not see any evidence of a connection from your email. Robert Lynn Taylor
