I think it's more than happenstance that a KY-male would travel to IL, then OK, and, finally, Hale County, TX to find a bride!(lol) Zaida Milner's roots are in Breckinridge, KY. That's not close to Clay County still I wonder if they were acquainted prior to arrival in Texas? Zaida's father was Hartwell Artemus Milner born ca 1858 in case you want to research.
