Ladies, afraid i can't be of any help and wish you luck.My family comes from down around Collins and Seminary and when I read your requests, I remembered a tale a visiting preacher told one Sunday morning after meeting my father.
The preacher had been travelling doing a revival down in the region where my father grew up and was making his rounds visiting folks.One morning he started out and knocked on the door of the first home he came to, he introduced himself and the family identified themselves as the John Watts family.After visiting a spell he went on down the road to the next home, and there he met the Jesse Lott family.Going on down the road, home after home, he met Watts after Lott, and Lott after Watts.Finally towards the end of the day, exasperated and tired after meeting all the Watts and Lotts and no one else, he knocked on the door of a home at the end of a dusty trail way back up in the piney woods, and the lady of the house came to the door and intoduced herself and Mrs James Watts Lott.The preacher couldn't contain himself as he exclaimed, I finally must have reached the end of my road.
