Mom's side of the family came in from Tennessee on horseback in 1823 with Stephen F. Austin. We had Mexicans land grant of a sitio, 4,000 acres. Wish we still had it! We were Mexicans for 13 years, later we told the Mexicans to come and take it!" Meaning come get your cannon. We changed sides and fought for Texas. My namesake ancestor was in Louisiana recruiting soldiers for the Texas Army when the Alamo happened.
