...not necessarily our family line!
Here's a site that has a good deal of information on San Augustine County, Texas; birthplace of
K.K. Runnels. And this site is for Shelby
County, Texas; birthplace of King Runnels, just north of San Augustine
County. And this will take you to Roosevelt County, Texas; where
K.K. Runnels lived out his life. You will find information on K.K. Runnels there!

Here's
a page which is part of the RootsWeb
Project that covers Curry County, New Mexico. This is the county where Clovis is
located. Quite a few in our family came from Curry County and the Clovis
area. This page also has links to some wonderful historical and other information on
the Curry County area. One of my favorites!
Here's another page with some historical information on the founding, and early days of Clovis...
GOVERNOR HARDIN R. RUNNELS.
(Said to be a cousin of our K.K.Runnels)
BORN AUGUST 30, 1820.
DIED DECEMBER 25, 1873.
A NATIVE OF MISSISSIPPI, HE REMOVED TO TEXAS IN 1842. BY HIS PUBLIC SPIRIT AND STERN
INTEGRITY HE WON THE CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED HIM TO THE HIGHEST POSITIONS
LEGISLATIVE AND EXECUTIVE THAT THEY HAD TO BESTOW. FILLING ALL THESE WITH HONOR TO HIMSELF
AND BENEFITS TO THE COMMON WEALTH. NO FINGER CAN POINT TO A SHADOW OF CORRUPTION UPON HIS
EXTENDED PUBLIC RECORD.
And here's a few more links about Hardin R. Runnels: here's one that has some information on his part in the life of Sam Houston. Here's one that has some biographical information on him, and here's another bit of biography, and yet another biography page about him. And a couple of sites that talk about him from a political perspective; Freemason Politicians in Mississippi, and The Chief Executives of Texas. Believe it or not, his father's last will and testament is online!
