I have a question please? Since John D. with his wife Mary Jane, and children William E, Thomas D and Lizzie lived in Collin county, Texas in 1900 per the 1900 Federal Census why do you think John D. and family ended up in Lamar County 4 years later? Other than farming? ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

The family came to Lamar Co. between 1890-1900 they did share cropping and worked for farmers where they could get work odd jobs ect. my guess is that there was a job in Collin CO that JD could get, he was very much a family man so he would have taken his family with him. Are you connected to my family? There is a long story to why they left Ala. and went to Ark. then TX. Thank you so much for you reply.
