Looks like his wife Harriett was the widow of a man named Patterson. WCT appears on the 1860 through 1866 Kaufman Co tax rolls (except for 1865) owning 220 ac of the "Harriett Patterson" survey-- there is no such survey in Kaufman Co, but there is a John M. Patterson survey in the SW part of the county right on the Henderson Co line. This is also the part of the county where the Pyles, Gentry, Burrell, etc. families lived, so perhaps Wm F was a nephew to WCT. He (WCT) doesn't appear in any later tax rolls, so he must have moved away after 1866. In the 1872, 73, 74, and 75 tax rolls, a Wm Frazier is listed in Prec 5 (which is that part of the county)-- he owned no land, but is taxed for a horse and a few head of cattle. I presume this is your Wm F. He doesn't appear in later tax rolls, so he must have moved to Bell Co around 1876. Justin M. Sanders Mobile, AL
