I made a copy from a book at the library, the book titled, "Character Certificates in the General Land Office of Texas", with the following entry: 2690. Nacogdoches Sept 23, 1835 No. 92. Samuel Holmes, native of USA, emigrated 1829, married with family This is all it says. I was wondering if anyone connects to this fellow. I don't think he stayed in TX for very long. Thanks, Pam
