From: "Betty S Whitton" To: "Butch Bridges" Subject: ferries Date: Sunday, September 07, 2003 10:28 AM my sister and i would like to see if maybe one of your readers could help us locate some of the tuck family members. their ancester is the one that built the ferries in love county back in the 1800's. the main one i am interesed in was operated and owned by him and later was taken over by my great-grandfather whose name was rabourn elliott and he was also known as rabe elliott. we know he had ownership of the ferry from 1888 to around 1907 when he was killed and the ferry was taken over by his son doc elliott who ran it until 1932. i was hoping maybe some of your readers could tell me how to get in touch with mr. tucks' family to see if they might stll have some records showing exactly when my great-grandfather may have received ownership of the ferry at horseshoe bend. we also know that his brother william elliott (aka) bill elliott also ran a ferry from gainesville, texas. if anyone knows anything they can e-mail me at bswhitton@gbronline.com . i know i have asked for help from your readers before on the same ferry, but at least now i have a time frame to work with. thank you very much for all of your help. betty whitton
