Samuel Lindley and his family came to Texas in 1833. When he came to Texas is was still part of Mexico and he had to have a letter of recommendation from a reliable citizen of the US before he could be admitted to Texas. He got a recommendation from the Governor of Illinois, and it read "State of Illinois, Fayette Co., Sept 27, 1833, The Bearer hereof Mr. Samuel Lindley has resided in the Sate of Illinois about 20 years during which time I have known him and a number of his family and hereby take pleasure in certifying that he has uniformly maintained a character for industry and sobriety and honesty, and that his deportment has been that of a Christian. John Reynolds, Governor of Illinois." The recommendation was signed by Vehlein, a Mexican official who checked all papers of the people coming to Texas by way of Nacogdoches. It contained the notation "Located about one and a half miles south Cooshatee Trace a branch of the San Jacinto." The recommendation is on file in the Archives in Austin, TX.
