[Knitting A Conundrum]

I think the whole south was moving in the late 1860s...between the homestead act and people who just wanted to get away and start fresh after the war, there was a lot of coming and going then...

So true. I really treasure my great-grandparents stories of covered wagons and run ins with outlaws. And my grandparents stories of turn of the century life in Central TX. It's an amazing legacy.

Some of our German ancestors came in through the port at Galveston....Illegally so I've been told. Came up the Mississippi to the Ohio to Southern Indiana....Open a stone quarry (One of the first in the state) and built several still standing public buildings.....The grave maker business still stand on the same corner although it has changed hand many many times.
