The Players. The neighbors who matter.

Cindy is reachable at 153 Lady Bug Ln per BCAD’s mailing record on the 183 Clover parcel. She maintains the 107 Ladybug address separately for that holding. Both addresses are within 200 ft of Paul. She is a literal neighbor.

Bob is both a principal seller in the Cedar Creek frame AND a structuring broker across Bastrop, Fayette, Lee, San Saba, and Gonzales counties. His business specializes in the exact type of deal Paul is assembling: raw-land owner-finance trades. One conversation, two relationships.

Note: R-87620 (112 Grey Eagle Cv) recently transferred to Rodriguez; no longer Bob’s.

The park runs along Cedar Creek behind 183 and is the access feature that connects the Clover Rd parcels to the creek frontage and the back acreage. Paul already controls a piece of this through Godkin’s gift — there is no acquisition required. The other co-owners are neighbors, not adversaries.

Ulysses lives in East Austin. The Cedar Creek land is family-held remotely — seven separate Leverence parcels all mail to the same 5406 E MLK address, plus he holds a tract on SH 71 (R-29190, R-52634) and a connecting tract at 1302 SH 71 with his wife Mattie M Johnson (R-63571). One household, one mailing address, the anchor of the back acreage.

The Curtis Ray + Ulysess pairing tells us this is an active family co-holding — exactly the kind of generational land transfer we’d expect on multi-decade Black-landowner holdings. Approach Ulysses; Curtis Ray is in the same household.

Nolen is the on-the-ground Johnson. If you want a face-to-face introduction to the family before mailing East Austin, Nolen is the door.

The Barretts are a separate Cedar Creek family acting as care-of receivers. Approaching George O likely goes through them; they’re the relationship gate.

The Kelloughs are a separate large Black-landowner family in the A42 Knight/White abstract a few miles north, with 24 parcels and the historic Kellough Cemetery. Genealogy points to Myrtle Odessa Kellough as Odessa’s likely mother/grandmother. Arlene Stewart in Hutto is her active mail relay.

The "c/o Bernice Johnson" pattern is a strong signal that Bernice is the family matriarch — the person to know if you want to approach Lewis Lafayette or coordinate across multiple Johnson branches at once.

Robert Jr is geographically the most distant Johnson in the cluster — Rowlett is ~3 hours from Cedar Creek. Distance owners often have higher selling appetite once a fair offer arrives in the mailbox.

Distance owner like Robert Jr — over 4 hours from Cedar Creek. Same selling-appetite dynamic.

Closer than Marshall or Rowlett. Pflugerville is a 45-minute drive from Cedar Creek.

Paul is positioned between Donley (153 Ladybug · 183 Clover) and the Harmon-of-record park strip (R-22475 · 182 Clover) which he co-owns. The for-sale 183 Clover sits two doors away. The geography is unusually tight.

Co-ownership note: Paul is one of several "et al" co-owners of R-22475 by Godkin’s original gift. The BCAD record lists only Harmon’s name plus "(ETAL)"; the co-owners include Paul and other Clover-side neighbors.

Bert’s gift defines the access geometry of the entire back-acreage thesis. Without his historical generosity, the strip behind 183 would have stayed a private parcel and Paul would have had no co-ownership leverage.
