Jones Dog Trot Log Cabin
More than a decade before the battle at the Alamo, Stephen F. Austin brought 300 families to this part of the Brazos River
to settle and establish a new town on the Mexican frontier. Among these brave pioneers were newlyweds Henry and Nancy
Jones from Red River County, Arkansas Territory who joined Austin’s Colony in 1822 and claimed their league
of land (4428 acres) in 1824. They raised a family which included twelve children, built both a farming and ranching
enterprise and joined the Texians as they fought their way to independence.
