This is an old post, but...

My mother was one of four daughters of Robert Ezra Harris and Myrter Baker, and a grand daughter of Middleton Pope Harris and Sarah Head. She was born in Crosby County in 1923. I think that was not too long after the family moved there from Temple, TX. There was a separation in the family, and my mother has passed away, so I am less than certain about my information.

M.P. Harris bought a section of land in northern Crosby County - more or less northwest of the intersection of FM 193 and 207 that he split among his children. They were all farmers. Robert Ezra built a home west of Farmer along FM 193. I imagine it has fallen down by now, but we frequently drove by it whenever we had occasion to be out that way. My mom said she used to enjoy playing under some grapevines that grew along her grand-dads fence line.

At the crook in the road where FM 193 turns south, there was a cotton gin, a general store and a building - possibly a school - that the different denominations shared on Sundays for services.
