Poly Gotch is the common name in Sabine County Texas for Palo Gaucho Bayou. This a large stream that flows into the Sabine River. My ancestor, Shadrach H. Morris came to Texas and secured a 1280 acre land grant where the Palo Gaucho Bayou flows into the Sabine River. The thriving steamboat town of Sabinetown was established here in the 1840s to 50s. With the advent of the railroads the steamboat era on the river was over. Shadrach received his land grant in 1835. Bettye Wagstaff
