Slightly larger than Throckmorton County is Haskell County
with about
5,700 people and declining. You may not reach the end of the
internet there, but you do reach the western boundary of what was Peters
Colony. It seems that we can’t get out of Peters Colony if we’re in Texas roaming
around. The eastern boundary cuts through Grayson, Collin, Dallas and Ellis
Counties. That means that the Peters Colony land grant was about 200 miles
wide.
