Note

After James, her husband, died, Anna was left to rear their si
x children on the league of land he had posthumously Granted. S
ince James had died intestate, a partition proceeding in the dis
trict court of Collin County awarded Annahalf of the property
. Each of the children was awarded equal portions of the remain
ing half. The area was very much still a frontier with may hard
ships including Indian activity. There were only about 150 peop
le in the countyin 1842 but, by 1859, the population had reache
d 1,950. Apparently, Anna had difficulty in supporting her fami
ly on her own. Between the years of 1845and 1852, she execute
d 14 deeds, Granting various sized parcels of land out of her sh
are of the land. She evidently sold parcels of land as she requ
ired money. She sold two rather large pieces of land to her so
n Jobe "in consideration of the love and affection which I bea
r to my son..." Some years later, when Jobe was living in Golia
d County, his wife, Minerva, died. Anna wentto live with him t
o help rear his children and remained there until Jobe's death
. Then, she moved to Llano where she lived with a grandson unti
l her own death. (Source: The Texas Heritage of the Fishers an

t Anna was simply Anna Ladd who had been born in Holland and cou
ld speak no English until she was nineteen years old! Her sonJ
obe was the father of the well-known Texas gunman
