Tobin's dad, John B. Smeathers Sr left no will in 1846 which caused considerable trouble among his children and in-laws. His estate was not completely settled for 12 years after his death and was in part due to his son Tobin dying early and being left 1/3 part of his estate; so that had to be settled.
A Lavaca County court order of 1848 read:
"January term 1848. On the allegation and petition of William Smothers [Tobin's half brother from his dad's first wife Elenor] Administrator for Archibald [also son of Elenor; he killed by Indians 1838] and John Smothers decd [JB Sr]. It is ordered, and recorded by the court that the League of land known as John Smothers league shall be divided into two parts or halves equable to quality and quantity. One half to the estate of Elenor Smothers decd and the other half to belong to the heirs of John Smothers decd. and Elenor Smothers half to be divided into three equal parts or shares equable to quality and quantity and to be drawn for and the third be drawn as Archibald's shall be divided into three equal parts drawn for by the heirs, and one third to be divided between John Jr [b 1836 from 2nd wife], Tobies [Tobin b 1839 fr 2nd wife] Smothers minor heirs of John Smothers decd."
[For some reason John Jr and Tobin's sister Martha Ann Smothers Butler b 1841 was not included, she died 1870 of pneumonia.]
