Thanks! I don't think I'd be able to pull it together that quickly, BUT I am researching the early history of my great-grandfatehr whose obit says he was sent to his brother in Texas at a young age, then left for home in Michigan at 14 and decided to stick around the Cherokee Strip for a few years instead, where, family lore claims, he was one of the longest-lived Deputy Marshalls there, until he left for Colorado. There is some very interesting history from when he made it to CO, but I've gotten nowhere with the TX connection, so far.:-)

Now, I know if he'd been in the southwestern part of CO, it'd be no problem. I will check out the website, thanks.
