I would like to thank the following people who cared enough to share their untold research hours with this Hutto descendant: Mary Jane Weaver; Grace Smith; Judy Coley; Anne Doggett; and especially Marjorie Touchton Elrod who freely shared her father's files with me. He was my uncle, Archibald William "Archie" Touchton, who spent his entire life researching our family history. He, like my mom married his fourth cousin, a Tomlinson.
