Marion and Louisa Lasater lived in Wills Point, Texas, and raised their children there. In 1880 they were living in Cooke County, Texas, where Louisa's uncle, John B. Self, lived. They probably didn't stay in Cooke County long and moved back to Wills Point.
Marion and Louisa raised a large family. Life was very hard in those days, and it was hard for Marion and Louisa with their large family. Louisa (Bridges) Lasater didn't go to the Creek Nation with her sisters, Betty McCaughan and Lucy McCoy, and apply for Creek Nation citizenship. Louisa and Marion, and their children who were still living at home, did go to Checotah, Creek Nation, about 1904, but they didn't like the cold weather, so they returned to Wills Point, Texas.
