Biography

Thomas Franklin Vinson, his wife and 2 boys came to Texas before his brothers and sisters did. About 1886/87 he disappeared and was never heard of again. His father and most of his brothers and sisters came to Limestone Co, Texas about l0-ll years later but could never locate him.

-per research of Pat Bunch (June 1998):

"Thomas F. Vinson left his family and was never heard of again. Before his wife died she told what happened. He sold books and was supposed to have turned the money in, but he didn't. He did it again so he and his wife agreed he should leave on the account of embarrasment to the family. No one ever heard of him again that I have found."
