Matilda Elizabeth Little and William H. Fallwell were married in Tennessee in about 1835 before moving to Texas in 1847.
The first four of seven children were born in Tennessee. During the time her husband, William, was away in the Confederate Army, Matilda managed the Texas farm, with the aid of her teen-aged sons, and hired Negro slaves from the nearby Monti Verdi Plantation. They raised cotton and corn for the Confederate Army and was paid first in Gold, but later in worthless currency. The produce was hauled by wagons to Shreveport over crude roads, ferrying the Sabine River at Logansport. At that time river boats navigated the Red River up to Shreveport.
After her husband's death, she sold the farm and moved over to Clayton, in Panola County, Texas, where she lived until her death. Before she died, she made one trip back to her old home in Tennessee.
