Reference The Wagon Train:
In 1883, a winding train of white topped covered wagons arrived in Cedar Gap, Taylor County Texas from Robertson County Texas, Since all of the travelers were Baptist, it was inevitable that soon a Baptist Church would be organized. The only public meeting place in the community at this time was a one-room log cabin school, Ten families were in the wagon train, These were L. B. Pruitts , the T W Stevensons, the W. H. Chandlers, the George Pruitts, the C J Sandells, the Frank Taylors the George Washington Andersons, and three other families whose names we could not learn. Most of the families were related. The Two Pruitt men were brothers and also were the brothers of Mrs. Chandler and Mrs. Stevenson. Sandell was a cousin to the Pruitt men. Mr Anderson was the father of Mrs L. B. (Mary) Pruitt. The families brought household goods, cattle, horses for riding and field work. Men on horseback drove large herds of cattle as in a regular Cattle drive. When they reached Cedar Gap, they were ready to establish Homes.
