On Oct 4, 1838, Wilson Q. Richards received 640 acres of land in Red River County, Texas (Headright #259). At this time "Third Class Headrights" were being granted for people who immigrated to Texas after Oct 1, 1837 and before Jan 1, 1840, of which 640 acres for families and 320 acres for single men. Wilson was 24 years old at this time and so therefore was probably already married to Henrietta in order to receive the full 640 acres.
