Hey Sharon, That about the Parrish's is just what I was looking for. Dont apologize for living in Florida, you've got Texas in your heart. I wrote a longer letter yesterday thanking you but the system had an error and I lost it, so I gave up. I am trying again. In Dyer Co. Tn Davey Crockett's friends Henderson Clark and Austin Parrish build a two story log Court House in 1827. Davey Crockett brought a group with him when he came to Texas and fought at the Alamo. I guess the sons of some of his old friends followed later. My Isaac J Clark and his bro Hugh came to Texas in abt 1850. I'll bet their kin to the Parrish family that settled in Sabine Co. Tx. I am going to post this on the web when I get time. Thanks again, Virginia Brown ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
