THE PUBLISHER. ft:ft ftflt~-~ ----- -~-=-- -- :wire•• rftpft :_.ftft _., ::e:r:w,rtw..., .,., ·--- DEDICATION This book is aflectionatelJ1 dedicated to my 111-other MRS. SALLIE (BLAIR) ROGERS Preface It has been the ai1n of the \\'fiter to gather and preserve all available data concerning the sixty-£ our persons ,vho, as mem­ bers of Stephen F. Austin's several colonial enterprises, secured land grants in the section of Texas territory that no,v con-­ stitutes Grimes county. By far the greater part of this essay will therefore be biographical in nature. 1vlany of the persons dealt with are unknown to history. Their lives, for the most part, were absorbed in local and domestic affairs. Some few of them, however, were prominent in the political life of the period. Others offered, and some gave, their lives for the freedom of Texas ,vhen the revolutionary struggle came. They all contributed to the establish1nent of Texas as an Anglo-American state. It is hoped that this effort to record their services and trace their descendants, ,vill prove of interest and value to students of Texas history and to the many hun­ dreds of Texans in ,vhose veins today flows the blood of these sixty-four pioneers. The ,vriter is fully conscious of the fact that rnany of Grin1es county's most prominent families do nor come ,vithin the scope of this "'ork. An effort has been n1ade to give some recognition to many of such fan1ilies in foot­ notes. Concerning 1nany of these families the ,vriter has on hand much interesting infonnation, and it is hoped that it will be possible to incorporate it in a later essay. The ,vriter is not unmindful of the probability that 1nany minor errors will be found. ScHne such are inevitable in a work of chis kind because of the great variety of sources f rotn which the data is dra,vn. An earnest effort has been made, ho,vever, to distinguish clearly ,vhat has been given as facts f ron1 ,vhat is based upon ru1nor. Very scant infonnarion is given about several of the sixty-four original grantees. In s01ne such instances it has been in1possible to locate anyone ,vho could give the information desired; in some few cases, however, this scarcity is due to the lack of interest, or co-operation, on the part of people who could have given assistance. On the whole the writer has received the most vvhole-hearted co­ operation and assistance from the people of Grimes county and elsewhere. Especially grateful is the writer to the follow­ ing persons: Judge James Green McDonald of Anderson, Texas; Mr. L. H. Barry of Navasota, Texas; Mrs. W. E. Black­ shear of Navasota, Texas; Mr. W. T. Neblett of Anderson, Texas; the late l\,frs. Margaret Harrison of Bedias, Texas; Robert E. Greenwood, Junior, of Navasota, Texas; Superin­ tendent L. G. Andrews of Navasota, Texas; Miss Harriet Smither of the State Library at Austin, Texas; Mr. E. W. Winkler, librarian of the University of Texas; and Honorable Daniel E. Garrett, Congressman f ro1n the Eighth District of Texas. Most of all the writer is indebted to Dr. E. C. Barker for his patience and kindly assistance. By way of an approach to the biographical study of the original grantees, there is given a brief historical survey in which an atrern]pt has been made co trace the various steps in tlae organization of the territory and government of Texas with especial attention always given to that unit of which the present territory of Grimes county constituted a part.

    Media Contact: Jeanne Albrecht, PR Coordinator Sellmark 210-392-9047 [email protected] (Please email or call for photos, videos, advance interviews, etc.) October 2015 For Immediate Release: Washington on the Brazos to mark 180th Anniversary of Texas Independence and 100th Birthday of this State Park 2016 will be an especially important year for Washington on the Brazos State Historic Site: not only is it the 180th anniversary of the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico in 1836 at Washington on the Brazos, but it will also be the state park's 100th birthday. It was March 2, 1836 when 59 delegates bravely met in Washington, Texas to make a formal declaration of independence from Mexico. From 1836 until 1846, the Republic of Texas proudly existed as a separate nation. To commemorate the 180th anniversary of Texas Independence, the three entities that administer and support this site—Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept (TPWD), Blinn College and Washington on the Brazos State Park Association—are planning some Texas-sized celebrations. “Texas Independence Day Celebration” (TIDC) is an annual two-day celebration from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 5 and Sunday, March 6, 2016 on the expansive 293-acre park grounds and its three incredible attractions: Star of the Republic Museum (collections and programs honoring history of early Texans, administered by Blinn College); Independence Hall (replica of the site where representatives wrote the Texas Declaration of Independence); and Barrington Living History Farm (where interpreters dress, work and farm as did the original residents of this homestead).

    /3 9 THE TEXAS REVOLUTION AS AN INTERNAL CONSPIRACY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Patsy Joyce Waller,. B. A. Denton, Texas June, 1965 PREFACE In the past many causes for the Texas Revolution of 1835 1836 have been suggested. Various politicians, such as John Quincy Adams, and such abolitionists as Benjamin Lundy and William Ellery Channing have charged that the struggle for independence represented a deliberate conspiracy on the part of vested economic groups in the United States--a plot on the part of southern slaveholders and northern land specula- tors to take over Texas in order to extend the slaveholding territory of the United States. Those who opposed President Andrew Jackson maintained that the Texas revolt was planned by Jackson in co-operation with Sam Houston for the purpose of obtaining Texas for the United States in order to bring into the Union a covey of slave states that would fortify and perpetuate slavery. The detailed studies of Eugene C. Barker, George L. Rives, William C. Binkley, and other historians have disproved these theories. No documentary evidence exists to show that the settlement of Texas or the Texas Revolution constituted any kind of conspiracy on the part of the United States, neither the government nor its inhabitants. The idea of the Texas Revolution as an internal con- spiracy cannot be eliminated. This thesis describes the role of a small minorit: of the wealthier settlers in Texas in iii precipitating the Texas Revolution for their own economic reasons.

The name of the newest elementary school opening at the start of the 2017-2018 school year will be Keenan Elementary. The school site is located off of Keenan Cut-Off Road and the name follows the tradition of many MISD schools being named after their geographical location. The name of the new junior high school (MISD’s second junior high school) also opening at the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year will be Oak Hills Junior High. The beautiful trees and rolling hills in the area make the school site a beautiful location. Furthermore, the Hills of Montgomery and Crown Oaks Subdivisions are both in the very near vicinity. Montgomery’s second high school is set to open at the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year and will be named Lake Creek High School. The earliest Anglo-American settlement in Montgomery County was called the Lake Creek Settlement.

    A History of Montgomery County, Texas, Chapter VI

    CHAPTER VI IMPORTANT EVENTS, ISSUES, AND PEOPLE Montgomery County contributed her share of participants in the early struggle for the independence of Texas. In November, 1835, the municipality of Washington, along with the municipalities of Austin, Columbia, Matagordia, Harrisburg, Mina, Gonzales, Viesca, Nacogdoches, San Augustine, Bevil, and Liberty, sent seven delegates to the Consultation Convention for the purpose of forming a provisional government. 1 Three of the delegates from Washington, Jesse Grimes, Elijah Collard, and William Shepperd, later became citizens of Montgomery County. As for the Consultation, Montgomery County was well repre- sented by the future citizens at the writing and signing of the Decla- ration of Independence of March 2, 1836. Four of her prospective citizens, namely, Charles L. Stewart, Jesse Grimes, George !N. Barnett, and B. B. Goodrich signed the document. Charles B. Stewart had the honor of being the first signer of the famous document. Stewart had, in 1834, served as Secretary of the Supreme Court of Mexican Texas; in 1835 he had served as Executive Secretary and Clerk of Enrollment of the permanent council of the provisional - - 1 Louis J.
