Elias A. Pilgreen of Robertson Co., Texas

An Elias A. Pilgreen, born Dec. 1882, was the son of John W. and Mary U Pilgreen, grandson of Elias and Rachel Crim Pilgreen.
I believe this Elias is listed in the 1930 Leon Co TX Census, Dist 16, page 64.
A Bud Pilgreen, 48, is living with Oscar Pilgreen and identified as "Brother".
The Elias A. Pilgreen, who appears on the 1900 Harris Co TX census, living with his parents, has a brother named Henry O.
Recently I went to Montgomery Co TX and to find the court records about the land dispute and the oil royalties.I found only the heirs of Elias and his second wife, Zandra Eleanor ______ Busby, and her children by her first husband inherited.It actually was an extremely small ORRI percentage as the family was claiming ownership of the property by 'adverse possession'.
Several documents will filed by heirs of Elias' first marriage.One in particular was a John William Pilgreen of Otero CO, NM.
Another by Ella Josephine James, et al.Heirs are identified as:Sarah Ellen Stevens,J. V. Pilgreen, Elias Answeil Pilgreen, Henry Oscar Pilgreen, all of Leon CO, TX. and John Westley Pilgreen, of NM, being heirs-at-law of Rachel Crim and Elias Pilgreen, deceased, etc. . .
