Sorry abut the 1880 date for J.T. going to Texas. Way off. It was more like 1891/92.
I've heard they stopped in Paris area ( most likely Tyler where T.J.'s dad Jesse
had lived with other wife--Margaret Steed) then proceeded to Dublin. Most surely traveled
by train. As I heard J.T. sold fruit trees for a living around Dublin.
Your right my grandmother (Berta) must have returned to NC fairly quickly. She lived in a
boarding school in Asheville and later went to NC Normal and graduated in first graduating
class in 1893/94.
