Abram Anglin House, State Street, Groesbeck, Limestone County, TX

Significance: The Anglin House was built in 1851 for Abram Anglin (1817-1875), a native of Tennessee who came to Texas in 1833, while it was still part of Mexico, with his father Elisha Anglin (1797-1874), a Virginian. They came with other pioneers of similar background and went down to modern Grimes County, where Stephen F. Austin's colony remained. In the summer of 1834, accompanied by James and Silas Parker, Elisha Anglin visited what is now Limestone County in the Sterling Robertson Colony and located a claim that included the site of the present town of Groesbeck...
