Abraham Zuber, before coming to Texas in the early 1830s, seemed to be a foot loose merchant relocating in different states about every 2 years. So why did he come to Texas as a farmer securing a land grant in the very eastern edge of what would become Grimes County? He acquired his grant March 4, 1833. A footnote on page 166 of E. L. Blair’s “Early History of Grimes County” relating the Abraham Zuber early years in Texas, refers to Zuber’s son stating the reason “his father changed from a merchant to a farmer in 1816 was that his wife, Mary Ann Mann, whom he married, Feb. 16, 1816, inherited from her grandfather, Robert Deshazo, a ‘lot of valuable negroes,’ which enabled his father to become a farmer of considerable importance.”
