Original grantee
Thomas J. Rusk was one of early Texas's central political and military figures: Secretary of War, commander after San Jacinto, chief justice, and later a United States senator. His Cherokee County survey sits at the hinge between Mexican Texas and the Republic era. Rusk came to Texas in 1834, became involved in the revolution, and received land first through the Republic of Mexico's colonization framework and then through Republic of Texas military bounty and donation certificates tied to his service. The result is a patent story that mirrors Texas itself: empresario-era land law, revolution, military compensation, and county title records all converging on one original grantee name.
Oil & gas activity
2 wells sit on the polygon, 2 plugged and abandoned, operated by ENDEAVOR NATURAL GAS, LP.
