John Adam was very ambitious and always looking for a better way. He heard about the land in Texas and made a trip down there to see. He liked what he saw, came home and proceded to move his family there....all except the oldest girl, Nettie, who had married here. He bought some land for Wm and Geo. and tried his best to get them moved down there but no luck. Wm and Geo families always had high hopes of oil being found on their Texas land though and held onto it. No doubt the Texas land didn't have the rocks we have here in Missouri.
