They moved to Texas in late 1849 or 1850-51. He first appeared on the tax roll for Williamson County, TX in 1861, taxed for 100 acres in the Charles Myers Survey. Jefferson appears on the 1867 Voter Registration List for Williamson Co., TX, Vol. 9, no 1. There are two dates of birth found for Jefferson, I have used the tombstone date of 1812. Jefferson and Mary are both buried in the Perry Cemetery, Williamson Co., TX. I have visited and photographed their gravesites. Dates of birth and death, marriage dates, etc. come from family Bible which now appears to be lost.
