Ill. where my father was born. Some Reagans in Texas have been on the trail of a possible relationship which would be borne out if my grandfather was the John Reagan one of 7 brothers & sisters with a relationship to the famous Texas Sen. John Reagan.” Matted with a portrait to an overall size of 15.5 x 13. In very good to fine condition, with overall fading, and small words ("be of") very light.
