Narrative

[Branch.FTW]
[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 11, Ed. 1, Tree #1684, Date of Import: Jan 9, 1999]
'Nettie' remembers moving a lot growing up. They lived near Morgan
in Commanche County, Texas. They also lived near Iradell, and in 1886
they lived near Sipe Springs.
Her Grandfather King lived on Kings River, a branch of the Brazos in
Bosque County, Texas. The old Chisholm Trail ran near the home. Cattle
were bedded down here during the drives, and sick and weak newborn calves
were left there.
This grandfather freighted with ox teams from Galveston, Texas.
She lived near a settlement in Commanche County named Indian
Mountain. It was so named because of an Indian being buried on top of a
small flat mountain nearby. One of the last indian fights in this part
of the county was near this area . It is NW of DeLeon.
She and her family rode herd where the town of Gorman was later laid
out. This was before 1888.
She helped carry water to pour in holes for fence posts to put up a
wire fence, [the first in the county] at Indian Mountain in 1886.
