Alfred and Lucinda were presumably married in Arkansas, where daughters Louisa and Sarah were born in 1846 and 1847. They appear to have gone to Texas about 1848 and daugher Mary was born there in 1849.

Milam County was one of the earliest Texas counties, being part of a land grant that was transferred by the Mexican government to Stephen F. Austin and Samuel May Williams in 1830. Settlement began in the 1830s and the Provisional Government of Texas named it The Municipilaty of Milamm in honor of Texas Hero Benjamin Rush Milam. During the 1st Congress of the Republic of Texas the grant became known as Milam County. Over the next few years 17 other counties were carved from the original Milam County. Williamson County borders Milam County on the West. Anglo settlement began during the Texas Revolution and the early days of the Republic of Texas, when the area was part of Milam County. In 1842 many of the early farms were abandoned when Governor Sam Houston advised settlers to pull back from the frontier. The Indian threat eased after 1846, and part of the influx of settlers who came to Texas after its annexation traveled to the frontier along Brushy Creek and the San Gabriel River. By 1848 there were at least 250 settlers in what was then western Milam County, and in the early months of that year 107 of them signed a petition to organize a new county. Recognizing that the petitioners needed a seat of local government that was considerably closer to them than Milam County's, the Texas legislature established Williamson County on March 13, 1848, naming it for prominent judge and soldier Robert M. Williamson.2952
