I have been searching cemeteries in North Central and East Texas,Oklahoma and Missouri looking for graves of my relatives.

Families on my Mother's side include: White, Fleming, and Perry Families.
They originated from Georgia and came to Texas in the 1870's-80's. You may find Perry's in Grayson,Dallas,and Ellis Counties. The White and Fleming Family came to Smith, Van Zandt, Ellis and Navarro Counties,Tx.
In the early 1900's many of the White and Fleming families moved to Oklahoma. They lived in Hobart, Checotah, Clinton, and Tulsa. They were grocers, bankers,merchants and movie theater owners. The White Family is allied to the Robbins Family.

My Father's side originates from North Carolina and Georgia. They are the Paschall and Holloway,Tucker,Leatherwood Families.
The John W.Paschall family left Warren, North Carolina and headed west shortly after the Civil War. They came to Missouri by way of Illinois and settled in Newton,McDonald and Jasper Counties, Missouri.They were farmers and growers of strawberries. The Paschalls are allied to the Martin Family and Wilson Family.

The Holloway, Tucker and Leatherwood families came as group to Indian Territory from Gilmer County, Georgia in the late 1800's. While some of the group was recognized by the Cherokee Nation others were not.
Most of these family members were in the Stilwell,Seminole,Picher area.
The Holloways are also allied with the Dannenberg Family in Oklahoma and the Paschall and Foster Families in Missouri.

I have been a professional freelance model maker for over twenty-five years. I have a B.A. in American History from Texas Tech University 1978,and; a M.F.A. in Painting from University of North Texas 1983.
I combine my love of history and art by painting "portraits" of gravestones.
