Hi Mike,

I have Hursts and McTees from Bell Co. Between 1875 and 1877, they left for
Collin Co. Texas. From some old family info, "Traveling together were John
Hurst, William McTee, Jeff Craig, and Napoleon Campbell." I would have to
look (if you're interested), but I think the men went before the families
and there was something about land in AR or OK before Collin Co. TX.
