I'm looking for information on William and Sarah Elizabeth (Price) Terry who came to Camp Co in the late
1870's. William was born abt 1835 in Kentucky and lived in MO and possibly TN before immigrating to Texas. He died
around 1878. Sarah is listed in the 1880 Camp Co. census with her widowed father Richard C Price and children. Family
lore says that William had a famous brother -- either a Texas Ranger or a member of Terry's Texas Rangers. Would like to
discover more. Jan Holloway Montara CA

Am searching for any info on these surnames circa 1800 on. Have just family info that Tom Knight had a
sawmill around Pittsburg area. He died and his son (no name) took over. My ggrandfather Melvin Wall worked at the
sawmill and met my ggrandmother Era Gertrude Knight there. They married about 1891 but unsure of where. Era Knight was
born Jan. 1872 someplace in East Texas and died Jan 1908/1909. She was buried around Seymour Tx. Have evidence of one
sister, Anna Laura Knight married James L. Comer 23 Aug. 1908 in the home of Rev. J. F. Bevel at Pittsburg. James was a
farmer in the Pittsburg area until they moved to Bonham. In 1952 they moved to Winnsboro Tx. Have family info that the
parents of Era and Annie were Jim and Laura Knight but no documentation as of yet. Also family info that two Knight
brothers served in the Civil War and came back to the area to die. The surnames I'm searching have roots in the
following towns and counties: Mt. Pleasant, Titus Co. Winnsboro, Wood Co. Leesburg, Franklin Co. Pittsburg, Camp Co.
Would be great if anyone has any info. I do have a large amount of info on the Wall surname TX>LA>AL>SC 1754. Thanks in
