The Judge Nathaniel Hart Davis
chapter The Daughters of the Republic of Texas
received a
Texas history lecture
when historian, Kameron Searle,
spoke to their chapter during a
recent meeting.
Members of the chapter
who are descendants of early settlers of Lake Creek
and the town of Montgomery posed
for a photo with Searle, who has
researched the Lake Creek Settlement and
Montgomery
for over ten
years.
A Houston attorney, Kameron Searle
is President of the Texas Heritage
Society and a member of the San Jacinto Chapter of
the Sons of the Republic of Texas.
He gave a very
informative account of the History of the Lake Creek
Settlement and the founding of the town of Montgomery
in July 1837.
Pictured are descendants of early
families who settled in Lake Creek and in Montgomery
during the early years when the town of Montgomery was
founded. For more information on the early
history of the Lake Creek Settlement and the Town
of Montgomery, view the web site at http://texashistorypage.com/Lake_Creek_Settlement.html .
