Bro. Sublett was a native of Kentucky, he emigrated to Texas at an early age, and settled in San Augustine county, in 1839. He there studied the profession of the law and came to the bar about the year 1840. His talents and energy soon placed him prominently before the people of that County and District. In 1846, he was elected as one of the Representatives of that county, to the State Legislature, where, though young, he distinguished himself as a leading politician from that division of the State. About this time, he married the daughter of K.L. Anderson, who at the time of Annexation was Vice President of Texas. In the year 1852, he removed from San Augustine county, to this City or its vicinity, where he resided until his death*. While among us he has been a prominent citizen, and at one time, represented this District in the State Senate with great credit to himself, and at other times he has been put forward by his friends as a candidate for other high offices, both State and District. . . . State Gazette. (Austin, Tex.), Vol. 11, No. 9, Ed. 1, Saturday, October 8, 1859 [*killed during what was described as a drunken brawl with Morris S. Davis]
