One of my great, great, great grandfathers* snuck up on the bastards at San Jacinto and got a measure of retribution.
His father was one of The Original Three Hundred, I learned last year.



*I think I got the number of “greats” correct there

I think my grandfather's great-grandfather came to Texas about the time of Austin's colony. My grandfather was born in 1896 on a farm between Elgin and Giddings. He told me his great-grandfather had been in Texas on that farm all his life. He was a truck driver and owned a trucking company and had settled down in Hamilton where my mom was born and grew up.

My Dad's side of the family were latecomers and came to Jacksboro sometime in the 1890s and ended up in Baird where my dad grew up.

I don't know of any of my ancestors that fought in the Alamo, all were simple farmers.

Remember the Alamo!!

My GGG Grandmother was killed by Indians outside of Jacksboro in 1860. I had three cousins that grew up in Baird.

Maybe we are cousins.
