14. Texas for generations, descended from NC & MS

My dad's German ancestor came over in 1741 and eventually settled in North Carolina. His children went different ways; some north and west, and some to the deep south (Mississippi-Alabama border). The southern branch lost everything during the Civil War and moved to Texas. They were pretty bitter, and there was a rift between them and the other branches of the family for a long time, but they eventually reconciled. Anyway, I am descended from that Texas branch. I was born in Fort Worth, and have never lived outside of Tarrant County!
