Janis, If there is a connection, it is not in my direct line. My Thomas Henry did have a brother named Henry, but I believe they stayed in Benton Co. AR. Our line comes from La Force in VA, LeForce in KY, in MO. it was spelled Lefore, Leforz, Lefors and various other spellings. I have not done much research on the Leflore name, but I was aware of it. There are some LeForce's in OK, who are very distant cousins of mine. Thank you for your response. And good luck with your research. Who knows we may find a connection someday? Pat
