A Robert Leftwich received a grant to colonize a large area of land in Texas. This grant was from the government of Mexico, and was given to Leftwich in the early 1830s. He was connected to the Nashville Association (also called the Texas Association), of which Sterling C. Robertson and several other prominent Nashville residents were major stockholders.

I think you know my line of Leftwitches, mixed with Stones and Hopkins and Higgins. My g. grandmother Sarah Leftwich Higgins goes back through her mother Francis Hopkins STONE, d/o Micajah STONE Jr. & Sarah Leftwich>> Littleberry LEFTWICH. Littleberry was born 1757 in Bedford Co, VA not TN. His father Augustine LEFTWICH 1712 Caroline Co, VA and died there 1795 married to Mary NORTH. They had issue of 12 and Littleberry the only one listed as where ( Bedford Co, VA 1757-1823 ). Littleberry married, 1778 Bedford Co, Francis Hopkins and they has issue of 7. Of which, Mary Polly married John Reece, Eglantine married Rev James Cole ( Primitive Baptist Church, Belleville TN ), and Sarah married Micajah Stone Jr. At this point we get to Lincoln Co, Tn as they both died there. > > The Stone line was from Bedford Co, VA and First I find to Lincoln was Micajah STONE Jr. His father , Micajah Sr. also came from Caroline Co, VA to Bedford. Micajah STONE Jr. m. 1801 Sarah LEFTWICH and had issue of 12. Francis " Fannie " Hopkins Stone married Owen W. Higgins 1824 in LCT and thus one of their 8 was ultimately my g. grandmother, m. to D.
