Falls County, Texas, USA
From Marlin, Texas drive east on Hwy 7 until you reach CR 2745 where you will turn right. Continue until you dead end on Hwy 413 where you will turn left. Proceed until you see CR 264 - merge to the right and drive 50 feet until you see a gate leading into a homestead.
History from Sharon and Joe McKee ( previous owners):
Calvin Bratton came to Texas from Tennessee in approximately 1841. He obtained an original land grant but traded it for this property. He settled on this ground and several children were born at this location. There is evidence of a hand dug well by the barn and the Old Homestead was gone by the 1940's. Calvin and Sarah Graves Bratton's Grandson; Sam Gilbert Bratton (August 19, 1888 – September 22, 1963) was a United States Senator from New Mexico and a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Sam Gilbert Bratton was born in Kosse Texas and died in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is interred in Fairview Park Cemetery in Albuquerque. It is believed the Brattons had other family members that were buried in Calvary (Marlin) and perhaps Kosse(Limestone).
