Should you come to The Alamo City in the future, Linton's diary (OR perhaps journals is a better description of his writings), I'll "introduce you" to one of the better/more literate commentaries on Texas in that period.
(PITY, that he died so early at age 42 & didn't write more about the Revolution, the Texas Republic & perhaps early Statehood.)
As best as I can tell (NONE of the counties that he passed through were "named" by 1836.), Linton departed Captain Shreve's Port on horseback with two pack mules, loaded down with several firearms/powder/bullets/shot, law books, food, camping supplies & other "necessaries", went west to Karnack, then south (LIKELY) through (in each case, what is NOW called the counties of) Panola, Nacogdoches (Linton spent a few days in Nacogdoches), Angelina, Polk, San Jacinto, Montgomery, Harris (He spent several days in Schmidt's Dock, now Houston), then turned west & traveled (LIKELY) through Walker, Austin, Fayette, Caldwell, Seguin & finally into Bexar County(San Antonio), where Linton says that he spent "some several pleasant weeks".
Linton then traveled to Goliad, married Miss Dolores Angelina Madrid de Vega, established a stock farm, sired 3 children & died of disease in May 1836.
In case you are curious, in 1974 I was a graduate student & working on a MSEd in Southwestern History/Geography at The Federation of North Texas Universities (ETSU, TWU, NTSU & ETBU)- My Army assignment was as Advisor to the 144th Infantry Bde(M),TXARNG.
My "Summer Master's Project" was to write a "mini-thesis" (It ended up being 73, double-spaced, 8.5x11" pages long, plus notes & bibliography.) on traveler's commentaries in pre-Republican Northeastern Texas.
