From http://www.footnote.com/page/93724840_newton_cannon_gullett/ [10/2010]:
In 1872 he [Born in Maury County Tennessee in 1822 to Samuel and Rebecca Thompson Gullett, Newton Cannon Gullett was educated in nearby Columbia, Tennessee. ] married Charlotte Dozarie Osborn Bernard, widowed mother of four children, and the daughter
of D.C. (Daniel Clark) Osborn a wealthy New Orleans area sugar cane planter. In addition to the Pecan Grove Sugar Plantation and Saw Mill near Barataria, Louisiana, Osborn was possessed of a vast parcel of land along the Texas coast and, upon his death
in 1871 his daughter Charlotte and other heirs(Geraldine and Paul Osborn) asked N. C. Gullett to oversee the property owing to his business acumen and experience in Texas. Already a landowner there, he agreed and he and third wife Charlotte began the
process of turning 20,000 contiguous acres along the San Antonio River and Guadalupe, San Antonio and Hynes Bays into a showplace ranch. They erected a large home on a knoll about two miles northeast of the present town of Tivoli and named the venture
Tivoli Ranch either after Charlotte's home near the Place Du Tivoli in New Orleans (present day Lee Circle) or Tivoli Gardens a city park near Lake Ponchartrain.
Accustomed to the finer trappings of sophisticated New Orleans, they brought with them fine furnishings, blooded horses and stock and fanciful carriages and livery previously unseen along the Texas Gulf Coast. A wharf was constructed near the
confluence of the San Antonio and Guadalupe Rivers and was known as Gullett's Landing. Here the Gullett schooner LADY DORA would land lumber and building materials, furniture, clothing, food and other supplies from New Orleans and Galveston. The couple
entertained lavishly and their home became the social center of the region.
