It is not in Hemphill but about 1/2 way between Hemphill and Rosevine on 1592. I also have a WHITE connection but not much info - can anyone out there help? Gram Berry FERGUSON (1849 - 1923) m. Mary E. WHITE (b abt 1854 d. 1921) Who were her parents? Thanks, Pam >Some of my ancestors in the White and Strickland family were founders of a >Baptist Church in Hemphill, Texas in the late 1850s.
