Bio

L .C. (Leeander Calvin) LaFon rode a horse to Texas from Tennessee. That journey would have been in the early 1880s, as he married Susan Elizabeth McCoy, January 30, 1884, in Dallas County. The first child for L.C. and Susan was Vernie, born November 30, 1884, in Dallas. L.C. sharecropped land around the area of what is now Hall Street and Gaston Avenue, back towards what is now Fair Park. Then they moved to Collin County and bought land before December 1885, when their second child was born. They went on to have thirteen children.
