Saturday Night Fun -- Where My Mother's Family Was a Hundred Years Ago

Randy Seaver, a blogger at Genea-Musing, has created a wonderful blog theme called Saturday Night Genealogy Fun.  Here is today’s mission: Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible! music) is to: 1) Determine where your ancestral families were on 1 January 1913 - 100 years ago. 2) List them, their family members, their birth years, and their residence location (as close as possible). Do you have a photograph of their residence from about that time, and does the residence still exist? 3) Tell us all about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook Status or Google+ Stream post. ______________________________________________ Here is the location of my family in 1913.  This is my mother's side of the family.  I have no photos of their homes.  Most of the sources are from the 1910 census. My grandfather, Tom Johnston was living with his parents, Thomas Newton Johnston and Nell L Hutson in Comanche Co, Texas
