months from September 11 to December 11, 1836, in his First Company of Texas
Rangers. In 1838, he made application to the Nacogdoches County Board
of Land Commissioners and obtained his labor of land, in which Alston Ferguson
and Adolphus Sterne testified that they had 'known him 4 years, lives in this
county and has a family'." FROM TREE TALK CHEROKEE
