The David W. Breeding Family of Fayette County

David and Sarah Davis Breeding and five of their sons, John, Richard Landy, Napoleon Bonaparte, Fidelio Sharp, and Benjamin Wilkens Breeding came to Texas from Christian County, Kentucky in late 1832 and early 1833. The family settled along Cummins Creek near present day Willow Springs. Before the end of 1833 David Breeding’s four young nephews joined the family after the death of David’s widowed brother. David and Sarah had a house full of youngsters who needed schooling but there were no schools in the colony. A log cabin on the Breeding homestead was used as a school house and a Mr. Rutland served as the teacher. David Breeding’s nephews attended as did the Alexander children, including Emily who later married Joel Robison. Jesse Burnam lived fifteen miles away across the Colorado River but brought his children to the school as well. He built a shed tent with a long bedstead for his daughters to sleep in while his sons slept under the trees.
