Hi thanks for responding to my post. My Spainhour's are my Uncle Foster Spainhour who at one time did live in Ark but lived in and around Wichita Falls Tx. One of his children, Buford maybe still lives in Tillman Co. My Aunt Jewel Thames mentions while living in Wichita Falls in about 1915, they used to visit family in Tillman Co. We also had Carson relatives living in Tillman Co. Foster was married to a Mertle ?. I do not recognize your Robert Spainhour but maybe well be related. paul thames
