| NOTES: Wilson Overton and Sarah Ann (Benbow) Reavis moved from Alabama to Texas in about 1849 and settled in Limestone County, Texas for a time and shortly thereafter moved to Leon County, Texas. Wilson O. Reavis purchased 320 acres of land in the Robertson District, Leon County with a Patent Date of December 28, 1857. He made his application on May 1, 1854, claiming that he had settled upon the land on October 4, 1853. The land was surveyed on May 1, 1854 by H.A. McWhorter. On February 16, 1857, Mr. B. Johnston, Clerk of the County Court of Leon County, certified that Wilson O. Revis resided upon and cultivated the land for three years. On December 28, 1857, Wilson O. Reavis made his final payment and was granted his Patent. Wilson was a farmer and he and his wife lived in Leon County for the remainder of their lives. In 1873 death took its toll. Family stories have it that both Wilson Overton and his wife Sarah Ann died some time during 1873. We are led to believe that they died of some illness. No death records have been found at this writing. Their younger children went to live with relatives. |
