Looking for Lipscombs in Paris, Texas
CTLipscomb
I'm looking for the Lipscombs in Paris, Tx. My name is Robert Lipscomb from Altus, Oklahoma. My Grandfather was Sam Lipscomb of Paris, and my Uncle was Henry of Paris. If anyone gets this make contact. I'm also on Facebook. Looking forward to meeting the other side of the family. I'll be in Paris on the 26th of June, 2011.

The town was founded by merchant George W. Wright, who donated 50 acres of land in February 1844, when the community was also designated the county seat.
The community has no factual knowledge of who named the town, but it is assumed it was named after its French counterpart
