>>>>>For example Tarrant County in Texas is named after my father's family.>But the name came about from the Tarrants spending so much time in jail that they called it the Tarrant jail and from there came Tarrant County.

SO DARNED WIERD!!! No idea where the center or end part of my post went.
I had typed a sentence between these quotes from yours to the effect that I'd mentally skipped ahead to Cattle Barons or some such.
Then read the next sentence and about cracked up. Bet the Texas relatives still would like people to think the rich part.
Great story
