My ancestors started their westward trek before the Revolutionary War and didn’t stop until they found Texas in the 1820’s.

Not to be smartarsed but just factual, it sounds as though they kept moving out of what was the United States.

Maybe it is because I am a 4th generation Native Texan... but I can not find any blame with Ditter's ancestors or mine?

Flame away, Texashaters. You always do.
