Abraham P. LUFKIN, of Bucksport, ME, was a sea captain. He married Mary STONE of Haverill, MA. They came to Galveston, TX in 1845. He shipped ice to Galveston.
The towns of Lufkin, TX, and Van Alstyne, TX, were named after these families.
William VAN ALSTYNE, from Scodack Landing, NY, came to Texas in 1841 to seek his fortune. In 1866, he lived in Houston on Rusk between Main and Fannin and became a wealthy man. The Van Alstyne Building was on Main and Congress. Put up the first 3-story building in Houston and was on the board to bring the first train to Texas--the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado Railway--which later became part of the Southern Pacific's main line.
We don't know how VAN ALSTYNE made his money but he lost it in the crash of 1890's.
His son, A. A. VAN ALSTYNE, moved to Galveston where he married Catherine Stone LUFKIN of Galveston, and they had 2 daughters Alberta and Mary Lufkin:
Mary Lufkin VAN ALSTYNE was valedictorian of her high school. Her speech was given around May 31, 1896, and published in a Galveston, TX, newspaper on May 31, 1896.

Page 50:
Almost before the ground grew cold again workmen were busy digging trenches for foundations, and in a short time several really fine brick buildings were erected. Mr. Wm. VAN ALSTYNE, father of Mr. A. A. VAN ALSTYNE, now of Galveston, had the honor of erecting the first three-story building in Houston. It was a very attractive building and stood on the corner of Main and Congress, directly opposite the present Krupp and Tuffly building. But Mr. J. R. MORRIS out-did Mr. VAN ALSTYNE, for he put up a four-story iron-front building, not only the first of its kind in Houston, but the first ever erected in Texas. The building was in the middle of the block on the east side of Main, between Preston and Congress avenues.Page 65:
...The Houston men who had taken a leading part in the construction of this first railroad (Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado railroad, known as Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio railroad at time of publication of this book.) were W. M. RICE, W. A. VAN ALSTYNE, James H. STEVENS, B. A. SHEPHERD and W. J. HUTCHINS.
