Franny (NASH) NASH and Ben Nash moved to Texas from Neshoba County, Mississiippi. Franny's father had been a member of the State Legislature befor the War and Ben's father was a Probate Judge...both of Neshoba County. Franny and Ben Hunt had two daughters: Levenia b. circa 1861 in MS and Anna b. circa 1864 in Texas. I have an 1870 court document from Neshoba County, MS that indicates the family lived in Mimitt County... but an 1878 letter discusses the boarding house/hotel in Gonzales County. I also have an 1870 photo of Franny Nash Hunt and a photo of her two daughters. My g.g.grandfather was her older brother. I would be most interested to make contact with one of their descendants.

One of my far-distant cousins was suppose to end up with his "wagon train" and stopped in an area and told his family "This is it, "our Sweet Home"!!" thus naming the name of the town Sweet Home about the 1830's. The book said the TOLBERT family was also with the group in Sweet Home. I personally know some Tolbert's in Yoakum, I am assumming they are descendents, I also know the HERMES family in Sweet Home. 1st. Question: According to Lavaca history, who founded Sweet Home??? 2nd Question: In the 1840's-1860's were ferries used to cross the Navidad river in the northern area around Borden/Weimer area, etc.?? Where was the crossing that was used in route to San Filepe when Sam Houston was enroute to Groce Plantation in March, 1836??? Did the trail cross Lavaca county or Fayette County? 3rd Question: My ggggrandfather was a ferryman in the 1850 Census in Colorado County, but, they apparently lived on the Colorado/Lavaca County line. Does Lavaca have any cemeteries in that area? Jeannine -- j9rich@juno.com

My grandparents, Lewis Goodloe HARRIS and Teodolinda (Linda) STONE were reportedly married in November, 1914, but can't establish in which County it occured. From what I can gather it was either Bexar, Gonzales or Maverick and am looking for help. Thank you for any assistance, John Harris Hurtt
