From the MONROE JOURNAL

Monroe County Founding Fathers Ride Horses to Texas and Back is the Hill Country column for January 6, 2010. Based upon a journal/diary kept during their exploratory trek to Mexican Texas in 1835, the small party of men included Gideon Lincecum and Frederick Weaver, two of the earliest leaders in Monroe County both of whom were instrumental in the formation of the county.

That Frederick Weaver was my great-great-great-grandfather makes this account even more special.
