    3. Not sure. Must have been an older name for a creek I always wonderred why there was a Little Duffau running west from the Duffau towards Salem and Little Duffau Church, off hwy 281 and another Little Duffau leaving the main Creek which went north across Hwy 67through Rumph, Beech, Wakefield, Hurley, Riggs, and English land. Perhaps the latter, not far from the Pony Creek watershed had a different name when Indians were raiding Hurley homes. Don't think Arendell cabin is the oldest- maybe oldest still existing. When Pony Creek church was organized in 1860's by Great Great Grandad Dr. W.P.Hatchett and "Choctaw Bill" robinson, they, as a "Baptist Church of Christ" associated with the already existing Paluxy Baptist Association While the delegates were in Granbury word came that Indians were raiding on Richardson Creek. They finished their church business and returnetd home to find not one delegate had any damage from raiders. Don't think Beeches, Hurleys, Aycocks, Robinsons, and Underwoods lived outdoors. The oldest graves I have seen marked in the county are at Rock Church Cemetery on the Paluxy by the suspension bridge and old 2 story Rock church, school, & lodge Hall., upstream from Paluxy Town. Will let you know if I see one. There are 2 Indian Creek Cemeteries, one off 281 at Pleasant Hill church and one in Comanche County. The one at Pleasant Hill has very old graves. Indian Creek school was nearby and a church on Sundays.
