Additional Comments:
Additional Comments: NOTE: Mary Ann Jane and Elmira Susan were daughters of

Henry Farley, and heirs at his death in 1834



I don't know their connection with Dominicus Parker.  The original Henry F.

Farley survey was for 1 league  + 1 labor = 4,605 acres. F.M. Grimes, husband to

his daughter, Elmira, processed this claim because Henry Farley died before it

could be completed.



Mary Ann and Elmira S. Farley were sisters and deeds in Coryell County Jan 10,

1848 mention 1749 acres. Coryell Co Deed Bk A pg 285.  Adding the 1749 (Mary Ann

+ Elmira) + 1166 acres to Dominicus Parker comes to 4,664 acres which is very

close to the original amount.  Dominicus died in Milam County and by Oct 1854,

his share was sold in a Sheriff's sale to pay for debts to J.D. Giddings.
