Texas Pipkins "1840 Citizens of Texas", Vol. 3 by Gifford White - Ericson Books 1988 Page 226 states that SHADRACK PIPKIN and STEWART PIPKIN both arrived in Texas prior to 14 Jun 1841, and that both petitioned the Republic of Texas for a certificate for land. Both received Unconditional Certificates for 320 acres in Washington County on 13 Jun 1844. They were probably already living on the land since there was a three year residence requirement for the Certificates. [Contributed by Carroll Prewett, TX]
