I have CROWs that were born in TN and moved to San Augustine Co, TX in the middle 1830s. I have seen that the area that James and Levi moved to in San Augustine Co, was also known as the "Tennessee Colony". Hope to hear from some with any info concerning the CROW brothers, Texas Land Co, and the "Tennessee Colony".
