Notes

Left Harrison Co, TX, on 12/2/1872, arrived at new home in Coryell Co. on 12/24/1872.

John probably liked to write. He faithfully kept a diary during his trip from Marshall, TX to The Grove, TX in December 1872. He wrote a poem after the death of his second wife:
"I have lost my mate
My sorrows grate
I am once more left a lone
no tongue can tell the grief
i feel while on earth i rom
My race is run
My dayes dun
My sun is all most gone down
My hope is bright beyound
will shine brighter on the resurction morn
The grove September 25 1905
J W B"
