You need to go to the GLO site -- Texas General Land Office -- not the other one.
It shows how James H - got some of his land and maybe previously it was from the original
grants....Robertson, Hale, Comanche, and Hamilton counties.
My James H, who was in the Mier Expedition, was married it looks like late in life with
wife Lucy J. (who was married previously to a Shepherd) and children James Hill, Pauline
and Virginia. If he was married before and Alexander was his brother with Edward being
his father.....I would like to know that. I doubt this was his only wife. All I know is
one of the Indiana Calverts, same family in the Vanderburgh bios, came to visit
"Uncle Jimmy" a James H. Calvert, who was in the Mier Expedition and lived in
Robertson County. It all fits.
