There were still Indian vs. White settlers problems as late as the 1870s. That was the reason many complete families moved to other areas. My grandmother was born in 1873 in Dallas county and I think, if I remember correctly, that there Indian raids in that same year in Erath county (Stephenville). Check out the Texas Handbook online for some of this information.
