OK now, you are probably wondering why did we call it Rebecca's Cabin? First of all, Rebecca is the name of my daughter. Also, Rebecca Bell Cloyd was my great, great grandmother who was born in Austin County, Texas in 1832.
In 1821, her pioneer father, James Bell, came to Texas from Florida with his brother Thomas to Stephen F. Austin's colony, and founded the town which became Bellville in 1848, the county seat of Austin County. Bellville is where I was born and raised. I wrote a history book about this story entitled From Jamestown to Texas.
The third reason is that I lived on the land for thirty two years that was originally owned by Rebecca Cummings, the fiancee of Col. William Barrett Travis who died at the Alamo. One whole chapter in my history, From Jamestown to Texas is about the Cummings family and Travis. Rebecca Cummings is also a central character in my two novels Trails West. They tell the history of this area in story form about the early settlers who first came to these parts.

Rebecca's Cabin is located straight back behind the Pavilion. It is in the middle of our cabins.
