The family history of Samuel Augustus Maverick is printed in an old issue of the Frontier Times Magazine dated February 1925. Anyone interested in this story please contact me and I will send you a copy. It is quite long so I cannot reproduce it here. But I will give you a short introduction.

"Mrs. Annie E. Brown, who lives near Bandera (Texas) and is now in her eithty-seventh year has kindly loaned us a book entitled "San Antonio de Bexar" from which we have taken the following extracts from the Memoirs of Mrs. M. A. Maverick, widow of Samuel Augustus Maverick, for many years one of the leading citizens of San Antonio (Texas). The Mavericks were intimate friends to Mrs. Brown and the book from which these extracts were taken was presented to her by Mrs. Maverick."

"Samuel Augustus Maverick was born July 23, 1803 at Pendleton, South Carolina, of distinguished revolutionary stock of English and Hugenot extraction. Mrs. Maverick was an Adams, the Massachusetts family transplanted to Virginia and intermarried with a Lewis of that state. Mrs. Maverick was married August 4, 1836 near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, her mother's home. The family started for Texas October 14, 1837, Mr. Sam Maverick being then a baby of five months. Mr. Maverick, senior, had been in Texas in 1835, and his friends thought him killed in the Alamo fight."

The remaining article details their long journey to Texas and other family history.
