Lecture: Oh Give Me
Land, Lots of Land by Martha Jones
This
slide presentation emphasizes the importance of land acquisition by
early Texans who immigrated from other parts of the country, their
interest in acquiring land for farms and ranches, and the importance
and preservation of land records in the history of Texas. Native
Texan Martha Everman Jones, presenter, received a Ph.D. in education
curriculum and instruction from Texas A&M University. Recently
retired from Victoria College and the University of
Houston-Victoria, she presents genealogy workshops at local, state,
and national levels and writes an award-winning genealogy column for
the Victoria Advocate.

glazing and firing methods) used in the identification of pottery
shards and vessels found in the excavations; the presentation ends
