Documentation: 1880 Federal Census for Coryell County, Texas
From the book titled "Coryell County Families"......
"...Allen Carrigan and Obediance Carrigan traveled in a covered wagon
from Maury County, Tennessee in 1850 to the southwestern part of Coryell
County, four miles southwest of Bee House. They pre-empted 160 acres of
land. There they built a large log cabin near an ever-flowing spring
located on a mountainside.
The Indians were a threat at all times.  The children were taught mostly
at home.  Most travel was done in wagons or on horse back.  There was no
church near enough to attend. Several families met in their homes weekly
for scripture reading, songs, and prayer."
