Additional Comments:


Note: 1876 Tax Roll for F.M. Grimes lists 1,682 acres.

68 acres sold to S.B. Raby 1872.



F.M & E.S. Grimes had moved to Navarro County to be near their sons, F.M. and

S.W. around 1882 after their youngest daughter married in Coryell County.  They

died there in 1889.



Family lore was always concerned about this sale of land because within a few

years (1886) S.W. had sold the land for substantial profit.  He paid $3.15/acre

and when he sold, it was $15/acre.
