LAND SALES. By citizens of Nacogdoches and San Augustine, Texas. Most involve the original grantees; some are of the grants made to members of Burnet's or Vehlein's or Zavala's colonies. Field notes give original geographical names of early times. Sales documents include interesting family relationships and family names for several generations. Many sales for lots in Santa Anna on Tivis Bluff, west side of the Neches River, where navigation of boats is possible (location of present Beaumont.) Biggest land buyers (or speculators) are William Logan, A.C. and J.K. Allen, Archibald and Augustine Hotchkiss and Frost Thorn. Less spectacular buyers are George Pollitt, John S. Roberts, Adolphus Sterne; David Brown is busy selling the lots in Santa Anna.
