It had been suggested in family notes that Alice and her husband accompanied the Lessly migration to Texas (occuring about 1874-1876) but their presence in the 1880 Randolph Co., MO census dispells that notion. Family notes also suggest that at some time Alice and her husband had a farm near James Elkins Lessly in Grayson Co., TX. They may eventually have moved on with the Oklahoma land rush.
