SCATTERLINGS: BLAIR, WILLIAMS
AND TURNER TO TEXAS-
1853-1873
By Rusty Williams
- "This book is the story of three family groups, fifty-five
men, women children and babies, who left tobacco farms in the Virginia
Piedmont to move to Fannin County as part of the first big immigrant wave
into the land south of the Red River. Settling in the area around Savoy
and Bells --and giving the name of their homeland to Virginia Point ---these
and
other Virginia Families carved farms and homes out of the North Texas Prairie before dispersing into other parts of Texas, Indian Territory and further west.""The book is 184 pages, hardbound and mentions more than two dozen other Fannin and Grayson County families. It was written by Julian "Rusty" Williams and published by Hearlfelt-Lincoln Pub- lishing. Much more than just a family history, Scatterlings is an every-family, story telling who so many Southern families settled in North Texas during that time, what they had to do before they could plant the first seed or cook their first meal, and the terrible consequences they encountered as they settled the rolling hills of Fannin County,"
