Vera,
Thank you so much for sending the email.
I find it interesting to read all of your message. I just don't have the
knowledge about the Izard county to reply. I don't know any of the people
also.
My Harris side is the one that I know a little about. The Harris 's I think
came from Conway County and settled in Fulton County. They may have been in
Izard a little but I think mainly in Fulton.
The Mitchell's, Taylor's and Fosters were living next to each other in Izard
County. The Mitchell's married the Taylor's and the Taylor's married the
Fosters.
I find this all interesting.
Once again thank you for helping me.
Donna
