Notes	Martin Clifton Court told stories to his grandsons about his father, Thomas Jefferson Court, using an alias and hiding out from the law for a period of time. Thomas has been found on the 1880 Census in San Saba County, Texas. I thought the following excerpt about the history of that county was interesting. "During the 1880s lawlessness became a problem, and the county experienced a period of "mob rule." In response, citizens formed an anti-mob organization. However, factions developed within the organization, and by 1896 the competing groups wee conducting what amounted to open warfare. After a number of men were killed, the Texas Rangersqv were dispatched to the area, and order was eventually restored."
