John & Drucilla did not go to Texas as some researchers thought. They are on the 1850 Holmes Co. Ms. census--Drucilla on the 1860 Holmes Co. Ms. She is found on the 1870 & 1880 census also.
I feel there could be a mix up on the names of NcNeer and NcNair. You have the "near sound"--McNeer and the "air sound"--McNair, sounds different to me.
Thanks to Janie McNeer Palmertree for sharing her research.
