In the 1980s Provident Development bought 900 plus acres that included an old cabin and an outhouse and a stone smokehouse. The cabin was rumored to be owned by Nelson Merrell, an Ohio native who settled in Brushy Creek around 1837. Merrell sold the property in 1846 and after that the land changed hands several more times. In 1853 John M. Gault bought the property and the property remained in the Gault family for 40 years. The cabin at Wells Branch still stands today as a tribute to the hard days of early Texas.
