Wondering if anyone can explain how in December 18, 1857 in Hunt County TX Abstract 43 shows a Grantee Needham Boon Cert. 568 and Patentee Needham Boon. What does that mean. He was a veteren of the War for Texas Independence, but he was dead by 1849. Could a widow be acting on his behalf? I hope someone knows how these abstracts work . Thanks, Margretta Clark Aviles
