Do you know of Fair Plains ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Fair Plains. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Fair Plains.<1>

We found mention of Fair Plains as a community (see Mentions and References below), but haven't been able to determine its location - other than being located somewhere in Cooke County, Texas.
