GATESVILLE — Jim Mayberry was a slave when he lived in Virginia. He left there and arrived in Coryell County, where he remained a slave. Soon after the end of the Civil War, Mayberry was given an opportunity to buy the land he had worked for so long near Moccasin Bend on the Leon River. The town that grew from that transaction was Lincolnville; it was named for Abraham Lincoln. Lincolnville lasted from the 1860s well into the 20th Century, but the town is long gone now.
