George Thomas & Rachel, ages 34 & 33, lived in Western District, Marion Co, AL where they owned a farm valued at $400 with a personal wealth of the same. Their children were Mary A., 14; Jackson, 12; Heuston, 10; John, 8; Thomas, 6; & Robert, 2.
Tom followed his father and siblings to Texas late in 1874 and settled in the Lebanon-Votaw community.
He worried about his children's lack of education due to the conditions of the Civil War. He joined with his neighbors organizing the Lebanon School and became one of its first trustees.
Tom farmed and took advantage of the wild horses and cattle that still roamed the area. He endured severe droughts and lost two children within three weeks in 1878.
Another son, retarded by the salt famine and starvation factors of the Civil War, died at the age of twenty-five. Another son, Huston, had been blind since the age of two.
Every day life was never easy. Tom and Rachel lived in the community for nearly forty years, and it became their beloved home.
