These two families maybe still be related. The Gerons were in Roane Co, TN before they were in Jackson co, AL. Some of the people from that county went to Green Co (or one of the surrounding areas), MO. Others then migrated to TX from both locations because cousins were already here. It had to do with getting military service related land grants. Jeri ______________________ Jeri J.
