Joe,that is a beautiful area you are moving too. I've ridden my scoot all over that area. Always enjoy the view.
It's a small world. My G3Grandfather Isaac Banta along with his wife and 11 kids moved there 170 years ago this year.
He was commissioner and one of the organizers of Hunt County, Texas. His eldest son Henry was the first Tax Accessor/Collector of Hunt County. Henry Banta's picture hangs in the Tax Office on the second floor of the Hunt County Courthouse in Greenville, Texas. When you go pay your taxes,he's watching. Henry was also the Sheriff.
Isaac's 2nd son William was my G2Grandfather.He received his 1st Commission as a Texas Ranger from Gov. Sam Houston becoming a Captain after a few years.Spent the next 27 years fighting Indians and outlaws. Retired and became an Ordained Minister.
