[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1402461, member: 14661"] Both sides came to the US in the 1600's. My father's side made it to CA as some of the first white people to have land deeded to them. My mothers side came from the thicket in TX and only made it to CA after a neighbor that was leaving town kidnapped my granddad as a small child to save him from the beatings. Up until the day he died he swore that uncle Jesse (as in James) was still alive and living in Farmersville CA. We left seven generations in CA to come to OK. I let history hold me there for a while but finally I thought "what better way to honor pioneers than to go somewhere better myself". I met an old timer a while back that stopped in while I was out pruning my little kitchen orchard that told me about how special it was that I had an Elberta peach as his family had picked them in CA during the dust bowl. I told him they were pretty special to me as well since they were developed on my families ground. Turns out some of his family had worked with mine 1,800 miles away. [/QUOTE]
