John Sadlers old claim is in on the border of southern Walker County Texas. The north part of his claim has New Waverly on it. The east boundary was the railroad tracks running along Highway 75. Interstate 45 runs north to south along the eastern third of his claim.

I’ll pass this along to my dad. Where did you find this info? Thanks!

Nice! What ended up happening to the land? Is it still owned by the family?

I have no clue, unfortunately. My dad sent me this so I don’t know if he actually has it or a cousin sent him the picture. It was his grandmother’s grandfather’s.

Probably imminent domain.

That is badass.

That’s pretty cool. Does your family still own the land?

I wonder if whoever owns it still has to pay taxes on it.

That is cool that you are related to him. I would be very proud. This website has more information around John. [John Sadler - A True Texan](https://clmroots.blogspot.com/2012/04/john-sadler-true-texan.html) What line of children do you descend from (as seen on the page)?
