You probably know this by now, but the names of the Falconer families in Wayne County who owned plantations were Thomas Powe Falconer,Thomas Sterling Falconer,William Bracey Falconer , John Creagh Falconer and Willis Lang Falconer.
Thomas Powe Falconer owned a plantation in Wayne County called "Prairie Place" which later became "Langsdale".When he died the land went to his widow, Jerusha Lang Falconer.In the 1880's, Willis brought several of the Falconer families with him toFalls County,Texasto farm land.
Some of the familiesare from the Thomas Sterling Falconer plantationcalled "Silver Lake".
