Faye,
The story goes: Larkin George (1) was in the Mexican War and stationed in San Augustine Cty., TX.When he mustered out, he went back to Rhea Cty., TN and married Elizabeth Butler, daughter of Hampton and Sallie Majors Butler.In 1849, Larkin and Elizabeth and all the Butlers got on a flat boat out of Dayton, TN (old Blyth's landing) and floated down the TN River and then went overland back to San Augustine Cty.,TX.Larkin had land in what is now the Angelina Forest.He died of pneumonia in 1870 (Mortality Schedule, 1870, Texas) and Elizabeth moved to Henderson Cty., TX. From there the children scattered. John to Limestone Cty., Joseph to Tarrant Cty, James William to Kaufman Cty, etc.Larkin(1) never lived in Groesbeck.
