Comments: After Mary ROBERTSON STINSON, the mother, died, David and Samuel moved to Harrison Co., TX. along with their younger siblings.  David had custody of the youngest ones, of whom was my great, great grandmother,Matilda. They came to the Republic of Texas in 1839 where David became a lawyer in 1840.
