Joshua owned land in the Blaylock Colony in Old Mexico. As explained by his great grandson, the Blaylock Colony was in Tamaulipas part of Mexico, South of Brownsville, Texas. Colony meant so many acres of land and the people on it.

In 1905, Joshua bought a ranch in the State of Tamaulipas, Old Mexico, south of Brownsville; the deeds were ratified by the Courts of Tampico. The next year, during the Mexican Revolution, the army of President Diaz overran his ranch, were defeated and recrossed, pursued by the army of Pancho Villa. Joshua and all of his native Mexican employees were murdered on or about 22 March 1906. It is not known whether government or bandit forces committed the atrocities; although, it is assumed to have been Pancho Villa. Although, another account states, Joshua was shot in the leg while in bed, which caused him to develop blood poisoning and he died from this. Because of legal complications and the lack of proper embalming methods, he was buried there.

Notes:

Robert's mother, Ann Moody McCuistion, gave him the little keg of gold coins because, she said, "he has Texas in his blood and he needs an inheritance that he can take to Texas with him." The gold was a family legacy handed down from the McCuistion ancestors and brought to America by Ann Moody McCuistion. Through Ann's lifetime she never used any of the gold and when she died, in 1819, the keg of coins was passed to her son, Robert. After San Jacinto, the Texas Republic was without funds and its only resource was land. The Texas dollar was worthless. Sam Houston knew his only hope to bolster the economy was to exchange public land for gold. To accomplish his purpose, the hero of San Jacinto invited seventeen men to exchange their gold for seemingly worthless land. Robert McCuistion was one of the seventeen men. By their contributions the value of the Texas dollar rose to almost par value on the world market and the Republic was saved. ..."the ten thousand acres of land accepted in exchange for the McCuistion gold remained worthless but Robert never regretted his gift to Texas."
All of Robert's children were born in Davidson and Bedford Counties, Tennessee.
Robert went to Robertson County, Texas in 1835 and established himself at a strong spring of good water, later known as the McCuistion Headwaters. This is near the present village of Easterly.

Notes:

Carleen Dagget reports Elizabeth's last name as McWhorter.

Elizabeth McQuerter McCuistion was well educated and her diplomatic qualities can be seen in the fact that she named her first child, being a girl, Charity, after the mother of her three step-children and thereby endeared it to them, closing forever the gap between the two sets of children. She is said to be a financial supporter and loyal colonist, according to the entry in "Founders and Patriots of the Republic of Texas."

Died:
Elizabeth McQuerter is buried in Old Franklin Cemetery, located on Daggett Ranch; 2 miles southwest of Franklin, Texas.
