Richmond Pearson Boone b 1803 KY came to TX in 1851 from AR. He had a
mill on the Lampasas at Youngsport and is buried in the Boone?Hamlin
cemetery at Younsport.

Joseph Dennis , his family and his widowed sister's family Hannah Neal
came to Bell co from Warren co TN .

John Thornton b NC came to TX in 1860's as far as I can find out . A son
Bedford Forrest Thornton was born in Lavaca co 1865, married Hannah Etta
Neal. They are buried in the Hodge cemetery In Temple.

Andrew J. Glover was born in 1827 Pope co IL, went to St francis co AR
where he married Zina Boone, daughter of Richmond Pearson Boone. They
came to Bell co with the Boones in 1851. Their descendants still live
around Florence Williamson co.

The Hargroves came from Giles co TN and Limestone co AL around 1900 .
the oldest member to come was Jesse Austin Hargrove b 1836 d 1929 buried
Roberts cem Troy. A grandson William Jesse Hargrove married Nora
Thornton daughter of Bedford Forrest and Hannah Etta Neal Thornton. Many
Hargroves live around Troy I believe .

I will gladly exchange any information on the above families that I have
.

Thanks, Pat in Lawton, OK
