Texas Certificate of Death #28477
Informant; R. D. Walling, Crockett, Texas
It was written in the HISTORY OF ANDERSON COUNTY that a prized possession of hers was a
letter written by her father S.W. Parker to his brother Francis H. Parker on April 12, 1857. In this he says, "On the 7th of this month I was married to Miss Catherine Nixon . . . I tell you, I think she is one of the Texas pinks," Further on in the same letter this information is given: "She has 2000 acres of land."
It will be seen from this that the Nixons were landed proprietors. They had been one of the families comprising Austins Colony. But Catherine Nixon Parker's daughter Sarah Walling lived under pioneer conditions, notwithstanding her mother's rich marriage dowry. The War Between the States had left devastation in the great state of Texas, as well as all over our fair land, and the Walling's found themselves struggling to recover some of the affluence that had been the family condition "before the war."
