44. French Admiral who during the American Revolution commanded the expedition in support of the colonies, was born at Ruvel Auvergne, of an ancient family . As an army officer, he went to India in 1757 and was taken prisoner at the siege of Madras (1759). Llieutenant general in the navy at the age of 33, he was governor of the Antilles from 1763 to 1766. In 1777, however, the new appointment of "vice-admiral of the ___ of Asia. Africa and America" was created for him; and in 1778 he was instructed to surprise the English squadrons in North America so as to enable the colonists to resume the offensive. He knew something of the sphere of operations and showed energy and courage in his task; but his officers, who were jealous of his promotion out of turn and disapproved of the liberal opinions that he expressed with lordly persistence, failed to carry out his orders. Furthermore he was no sailor and his strategy was based on his experience of fighting on land. Arriving in Delaware bay in July 1778, he blockaded Adm. Richard Howe at Sandy Hook but did not dare cross the bar to attack New York. From there, in accordance with an agreement with Washington, he sailed to Newport, R.I., where, however a storm prevented an engagement with the English fleet. Finally on Nov. 4 he sailed for the Antilles. There, in December, he could have destroyed an English division at St. Lucia butpreferred to attempt a landing, which was repulsed. He captured Grenada on Jly 3, 1779, and fought an indecisive battle with Adm. John Byron on July 6. Though his forces were numerically superior, he did not again engage the English fleet, but launched an unsuccessful attack on Savannah, Ga., during which he was seriously wounded (Sept.-Oct. 1779). He then took his squadron back to France. When peace was signed with England in 1783 he was in command of the fleet before Cadiz. (See also American Revolution: The War at Sea.) A man of advanced ideas the Comte d'Estaing was elected to the assembly of notables in 1787. On the outbreak of the Revolution (1789) he was commandant of the national guard at Versailles. He was guillotined in Paris, during theterror, on April 28, 1794.

56. Jasper County, Texas USA census taken 27 July 1860, Larkin Richardson (24), farmer, with $100 in real estate and $350 in personal property as head of household, Born in Mississippi, with Aurora (19) and Sophronia (1), born in Texas. Was in Speight's Battalion of Confederate Army. Larkin Abel Richardson, born April 6, 183i6, was a descendant of a long line of Richardsons who have been traced back to the Norman Invasion of England. Larkin Abel was the grandfather of the present day families of that name. He was born in Texas and the greater part of his family being born near Buna, Texas. When the Civil War came, he, being a land owner and owner of a colony of slaves, naturally, was on the Confederate side oand fought in the Civil War. In his small Bible he carried with him, it is written that he was captured at Brashear, Louisiana, August 20, 1863. When he was released, he returned to his family broken in health and spirit. Very disatisfied, in general, and having a large family of ten children, he decided to move on west where he settled in Limestone County near Kosse. He bought a home which evidently wasn't completely paid for, but the worse was that he shortly had (in today's terms) a cerebral hemorrhage and was dead in a few minutes. His wife knew nothing about the business so she received a foreclosure. Her hardships were too heavy and she lived a short time, leaving al the children. The relations wanted to divide them, the oldest boy, Arthur, age seventeen, and the oldest sister, fifteen, said "NO", they would stay together. Though the going got very hard sometimes, from the family of children came men and women who contributed to the building of Limestone County. One of the orphan boys, Fabren R. Richardson, met a young lady named Jane Smith. Her parents came to America from England, arriving in New Jersey. Her parents were disappointed with the area where they landed, so one day when Jane's father, Charles Smith, was walking down a street, he saw a piece of paper on the street. He picked it up and a man by the name of Logan Stroud was wanting people to come to Limestone County, Groesbeck, Texas to work on his farm. The Smiths talked their problems over and decided to come to Limestone Count. They came on an Immigrant train, six in the family for $10.00 from Newark, New Jersey to Groesbeck in 1878. They located on the Stroud place and then on the Welch place. In about six years Charles Smith bought forty acres from J. B. Whitcomb. They became farmers and proved to people of this area that cotton could be grown on black land west of Groesbeck. Fabren and Jane Smith married and had five daughters. He was a very prosperous farmer most of his life. Their daughters were Mary Ellen, married William S. Sanders; Sarah Ann, maarried James Dean Hines; Cora Jane, married Odis McCollum; Alta Ruth, married Oscar T. Woodside; and Iva Inez, married W. A. Land. (Written by Mary Richardson Sanders, daughter)
