Miller and he are "both of the Colony [Austin's Colony] and the Settlement [Lake Creek Settlement]

Montgomery Shannon. "Lake Creek Settlement" is a term already in common usage in 1833 before

Owen Shannon |
Neighborhood of Lake Creek |
Will of Owen Shannon, dated April 12, 1835. Austin County Clerk, "Old Probate
Files."
This the will of Owen Shannon in which he bequeaths his "real or landed property as follows
One Quarter League of Land being in the neighborhood of Lake Creek" to his wife, Margaret
Montgomery Shannon.
The will mentions Wm. Clarke. Witnesses to the will include: Henry Goff, Mary Corner, Matthew
Hubert, James J. Foster, William C. Clark, Benjamin Rigby and George Allen.
Supporting probate documents indicate probate was conducted early in 1835 before the April 12,
1835 date of the will which seems to indicate that Owen Shannon dated his will with the wrong date.
The year should be 1834, not 1835.
