They traveled across the Old San Antonio Road to what was then Washington County and settle at a little village called Evergreem about 12 miles from Giddings, now in Lee County, Sometime before 1860, Isham and Sylvia sold their land and moved their family to Sabine County in the piney woods of East Texas.
