On his way to San Antonio, he camped in a grove of trees on the bank of Honey Grove Creek. In a letter he wrote home, he told of the ideal spot he camped, the "honey grove." The hollow trees of the grove had much honey in them. The first settler, Samuel Erwin, came in 1842. Coincidentally, he was a friend of Davy Crockett.
