There was allegedly still a Tonkawa family living here in Bastrop county at the turn of the 19th/ 20th century. Supposed to have lived on a small place about 3 or 4 miles north of Smithville. In the area not far from the current front entrance of Buescher State Park. They farmed in that area. Typical farm with barn, house, etc.
Need to run an email past the archivist at the historical society. See what she can come up with.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
