War of 1812
|
The
following list of Veterans of the War of 1812, who were at some time in
Texas, was mostly gleaned from "War of 1812
Veterans in Texas," by Mary Smith Fay, published in 1979.
Much more detailed information on the veterans' service and family, etc.
are included in this most informative book which covers all of Texas.
The requirements for
inclusion in her book was service (military or civilian) in the War of
1812 and that each one had been in Texas at one time or another.
Included here are
those veterans who are known to have been in the following counties:
Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Newton, Orange, Sabine, San Augustine and
Tyler. Also included are those in Chambers, Liberty, Polk and San
Jacinto, as those counties were also in the original Atascocito District
of Texas which covered most of
what is now referred to as Southeast Texas. There are a few who had some
other connection to the above counties (Example: someone from Sabine Co.
swearing they had served in the War of 1812 with the person in
question).
Widows of the War of 1812 veterans who came to the above counties in
Texas are included at the end of the regular listing.
There are a few that
were known to be veterans of the War of 1812 that were not included in
Mrs. Fay's book. Hopefully, there will be more detailed information on
these and other veterans and their families in the near future. If you
know of additional veterans, with a connection to the above counties,
please send an email so they may be included also. |
