Daniel, and his father-in-law, Thomas Platt, both obtained land grants in San Augustine County,Republic of Texas, before 1840. Thomas Platt and his wife, Catherine Smith Platt, both presumably died in San Augustine, [Thomas in 1846,Catherine in 1840), but I have not been able to locate their burial place in any cemetery there. Perhaps they were both buried on their own property. Were land records of San Augustine in that time period recorded? and are they extant? I'd like to know where to start looking for their lonely gravesites. I'd appreciate an tidbits of info anyone could provide. James Daniel and Sallie Platt also presumably married in San Augustine, but later moved to Houston County. I have a good deal of info on their descendants. I'd be happy to share.
