I was looking at your list of persons that were issued certificates as Peter's Colonists and I see that you had left off my great-great-grandfather, Andrew Watson Anderson. His certificate for 640 acres was no. 355 and I have obtained a copy of it from the Texas General Land Office. The certificate did say Denton County but this is in error due to the fact that they lived on Denton Creek. Actually, the property was in two non-contiguos parcels, the largest being 560 acres south of Denton Creek and immediately west of the parcel granted to Henry Suggs and his wife which is where the Grapevine Mills Mall now sits. The dam for the Grapevine Reservoir bisects, in a north-south line, the A. Anderson Survey, Abstract 26. The other parcel was 80 acres and is approximately one mile south of the first tract and is thus part of the present Dallas-Fort Worth Airport property. Andrew W. Anderson and his wife, Mary Ann (Medlin) Anderson, were part of the Missouri Colonist's group that came to the Grapevine area in November, 1845. Andrew immediately began to build a house that now stands in the Old Dallas City Park. The property was sold in 1852 to Judge James T. Morehead, although the deed was not signed until 1854. The family moved to Travis County (Oak Hill area) at that time and then to Lampasas, Texas in 1856. |
