A William O. Smithson is shown as a resident of Robertson County,
1837/1838. Robertson Co. was carved from Milam Co., in 1837.
PAPERS CONCERNING ROBERTSON'S COLONY IN TEXAS comp. and edited by
Malcolm D. McLean. Vol. XVI, pg. 349. Creation of Robertson Co.,
Texas
#482 Smithson, William O.
The William O. Smithson, who is listed in the formation of
Robertson Co., TX, is probably the same as, or a close relative of,
this William O. Smithson. This William O. would have been about 25
years old in 1837 and may have first gone to TX with John P.
Smithson, his brother, in 1834.
The Texas 1850 census was actually taken in 1851, so ages shown
are about one year off--older. Was this family in Texas?
