My great grandparents and grandparents also lived in Precinct 3 in Comal County (1880 census forward). I do know that Bulverde was part of Precinct 3, and at one point went to Smithson Valley. I am actually going to New Braunfels this coming Wednesday (Aug. 17) and this is one of the questions I had planned on asking when I’m at the Courthouse. If I get a response, I’ll submit another reply here for you.
