Hannah married Thomas Frances Bigham in 1860 and came quickly to Texas. It seems that W. R. and Dallas wint ot Ill. They had children there. John came to Texas. In 1880 census they lived in Hill County Texas. I am sure that their father was Wilson Garrett. He too, may have come to Texas. If any of this fits email me at [email protected] Howard Bigham

His wife Sophia Detjen's birth year is incorrect in some published data, as she is #38 in records of Monsees (Immanuel) Lutheran, born 4 Oct 1856, bapt. 29 Oct. Peter Detjen married Meta Adelheid Koester in Benton County 4 April 1851. (Meta was often anglicized to Martha.) She was the youngest daughter of the Cord Heinrich Koester family, who came to Benton Co 1844. Frederick Miller was Friedrich Müller, birth #41 in Monsees records, parents Johann Müller and Gesche Detjen. Gesche was born ca 1817, and a probable sister of Peter Detjen. Friedrich married Adelheid Boettjer at Monsees 28 July 1882. (Müller was often changed to Mueller or Miller) Homer R. Ficken, Benton Co Mo GenWeb http://members.aol.com/hrftx/index.htm

Beverly Park Peavler Since it was a cash sale, I doubt any more info exists beyond the details listed by the Bureau of Land Mgmt. However since Benton Co was not created until 1835 I was curious, and discovered the one patent listed by the BLM search results menu as 1834 is a typo: When the certificate image is viewed, you will see the date was 1 April 1843, same as the other three certificates that date.
