Mr. M. L. Tanner of Mississippi came to Brazil in the early part of 1868. He bought several interests in the "Bonn Reteiro" for which he paid about $2,000; no improvements except a dwelling house. His land is almost entirely ferra branca but of the very best quality. He planted 28 acres of cotton the present year, which made him 30 bales; he also raised a crop of corn. Mr. Tanner's lands are finely located with plenty of good timber and water. He works eight or ten field hands and expects to plant about acres in cotton the coming year; also several acres in corn....

Thomas Nelson Tarver
On January 25, 1867, the family, Nelson, Sarah, and their four children departed from Texas at Galveston on an English ship the brig "Derby" with the Frank McMullan and the Confederate exiles that migrated to the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The journey hit hard times when the ship ran aground in Cuba from the winds of an early hurricane in 1867. Nelson is recorded in the New York Times in February of 1867 as being one of the passengers and is referred to as Judge Tarver of Freestone, Texas". The shipwrecked passengers were picked up by the steamer "Mariposa" and taken to New York where they arrived on March 26, 1867, to await the arrival of a transport streamer to Brazil to where they would finish their sea voyage to their new home. They sailed from New York on the steamship "North America" of the Brazil line departing on April 22, 1867, and arriving in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil on May 20, 1867. Nelson and his family are recorded in the Census of November 9, 1867, of the McMullan Colony. They are reported as settling first in the Juquiá River settlement near Iguape, São Paulo, Brazil moving then to Santa Barbara D'Oeste, São Paulo after the first settlement failed. Graves for Louisa Tarver MacAlpine, Benjamin F Tarver, and some members of their families can be found in the Campo Cemetery near Americana, São Paulo, Brazil. Descendants of Nelson Tarver are still found to this day in the United States and Brazil.

Thompson left a detailed description of that trip. Said to have accompanied Boyle to taste their future work and to see if they would agree on cities to be chosen as new mission centers. They left Mogi-Mirim on the 11th day of August 1886, by train to the White House. There, Antônio Rangel, colporteur and accompanying troop guide, provided saddle and cargo animals.

In the death of Mr. E. S. Trigg, the community lost a good citizen.
Blockton, Jan.1 – (Special) Mr. E. S. Trigg died at the home of his son, Dr. A.. W. Trigg, yesterday evening at 2 o'clock. The old gentleman was 82 years of age and was a very remarkable man in a great many respects. Before the Civil War, he was an extensive planter and slaveholder, and immediately after the confederacy had fallen, and a vast amount of his property had left him with lightning rapidity, and the country was overrun with rads and Negro domination, the elements were too warm for the old gentlemen’s proud southern blood in the conquered land, so, like a number of other strong-willed men, he packed up his flock and cast his lot in Brazil.
For four years the old gentleman lived and prospered in that foreign land, and when the thunders of reconstruction had ceased to roll, and law and good order had once more been established in the southland, Mr. Trigg became once more a citizen of the United States. Another remarkable incident in his life is this: for a great many years after he returned from South America he was engaged in the Mercantile business in Tuscaloosa County, During which time a vast amount of business was transacted, yet he never lost an account. He was a successful businessman, a conscientious Baptist, and a lifelong Democrat. He leaves three sons and a daughter and a host of friends to mourn his loss.
