Kathy, I would be interested in reading the information on the migration from TN to TX in the 1880's. My Holmes, Harrison, Hardwick, and Montgomery relatives moved to Texas from TN and AR. Several offspring stayed in the Wise County area. They married into the Knight, Cates, Woody, and Russell families as well as others. Are you emailing the information or do you need my home address? Thank you for sharing.
