Davis. On 5 Jan 1869 William purchased a property from the estate of Hezekiah Johnson at a court ordered auction. The property is described by metes and bounds and it's not clear to me exactly where it was or how many acres, except that it was near "Yallow Bank creek", "Antonio Road", and "Hez. Johnson House". The deed is in Nacogdoches County Deed Book R, page 481. William's oldest daughter Eliza Frances married first Hezekiah K. Johnson, and second Charles R. Judkins. I took a closer look at the tax summary I mentioned in an earlier posting. I see Sarah continued paying taxes on about 150 acres (it varied) of land in the same area. The last payment I see is for 1898. Beginning in 1899 and through 1902 J. M. Baker (son in law) paid taxes for about 150 acres of land (again, it varied).
