Fannin County TXGenWeb
Photo Album
- These wonderful
photographs were sent to us by Colleen Patterson of Wichita Falls
, Texas who inherited them from an Aunt. Thank You!
It appears that most of the people in the Pictures lived around Arledge Ridge and Whiterock communities of Fannin County. The central thread seems to be the J.Lee Tarpley Family and their connections..
I have put together a short sketch of their Family tree and would love any additions to this. Many of the Pictures have names on the backs which I included in the scans. Many are unmarked and they are also in the family you can tell from their resemblance.
Family Names that show up are Tarpley, Jones,
Arledge, Stone and Potts. (Though I still cannot find information about the Potts. Any help appreciated.
