Mine mostly came west in the mid- to late 1700s, too.

Of my four grandparents

.England to VA to MS to IT/OK
.England to VA to KY to IT/OK
.Scotland to VA to AL to OK

And much later (1800s):

.Germany to PA to OH to OK

First settlement in TX was in very late 1940s. First and only child born here in my direct lineage was *moi*! Haven’t stayed here the whole time, however - I am *bi-statual* - the *other state*? You guessed it - Boomer Sooner.

One of my KY relatives introduced the bill to the US House to ratify TX’s annexation as a state in 1845. I figure that counts! (Except on the 2nd weekend in October.)

Sounds like our families were very similar. As near as I can tell, the families moved west every other generation. People like that didn’t leave very big tracks and it hard to know exactly. I do know that the earliest branch to arrive in Texas were listed in the
1st census of Texas taken in 1835. They came with John Bevil into east Texas several years before that. Wish I knew more.
