Below is the information that I have on this family. They are my ggg grandparents. Information is sketchy and I have virtually no information on their children. By 1910 Hill Co., TX Census it says that Caroline had 12 children and only 4 are still living. This family has been very difficult to trace. If anything looks familiar please contact me. Thanks.
