We have only recently began to collect information on TEXAS. What we have may be found at http://www.poorhousestory.com/poorhouses_in_texas.htm It includes some information about Anderson, Tarrant, Travis and Grayson counties. And we are especially proud to share with you a featured article about KAUFMAN County. It is great! And we would like to do many more such articles for other counties in Texas. The article only came about because Kathey Kelley Hunt heard about The POORHOUSE STORY and e-mailed to share what information she had. Then we collaborated to put together the story you can find at http://www.poorhousestory.com/TX_kaufman_county_pf2.htm We hope that many more of you can help us find more information about poorhouses in Texas. Hope you enjoy the site. Feel free to post any information you may have about that or any other poorhouse ... either on the MESSAGE BOARD or by e-mailing me. The only way this site will grow to include more TEXAS info is by kind folks tipping me off to it!!! <grin> Please don't respond to me on this list. (I would get FIRED or SUED by my ISP if I maintained subscriptions to all the e-mail lists on which I post announcements!! <grin>) Thanks, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady ==== TXGRAYSO Mailing List ==== --- Author Retains Copyright --- -- Copyright 2000 Author -- All Rights Reserved Post to List: TXGRAYSO-L@rootsweb.com http://www.selfroots.com Unsubscribe Request: TXGRAYSO-L-request@rootsweb.com
