  		Texas owned by Mexico 1821 - 21 Apr 1836 Mexico: 1821 – April 21, 1836 – San Jacinto Day In 1821 Mexico gained independence from Spain and the region of Texas became part of Mexico. The Austin family received a grant to settle 300 US citizens in the new territory. These settlers were led by Stephen F. Austin. Many more soon followed. Santa Anna was elected governor of Mexico in 1832 and soon after sent troops into Texas to force martial law. The Texans first rebelled at Goliad in 1835. A troop of Mexican soldiers had come to get their cannon and the Texians refused – making a flag that said “Come and Take it!” The Texians then took over the city of San Antonio. On March 2, 1836 at the town of Washington on the Brazos, a group of 59 representatives voted to declare Texas independence. Just 4 days later, on March the 6th, Santa Anna led his army to the Alamo where he had all survivors executed. He marched on to Goliad and had everyone shot there as well. General Sam Houston and his army of Texians faced their final battle with Santa Anna along the banks of Buffalo Bayou. They fought and won independence for Texas at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836 http://texasproud.com/history/six-flags-over-texas-history

  Death	Bef 1860	Jefferson Co, Texas
  Notes	Emily died sometime before 1860. How long beforehand she died is not known. We only know that she was alive in 1854 when the last girl Mary was born. The census of 1860 was taken on July 11th, and the four girls had been taken in by three family members, all living in close proximity to each other. James has not been found in the 1860 census. He had been a soldier in the Mexican war and also was in the Civil War. Possibly he was away in military service. Alzina, the oldest at 12 years old, and Mary, the youngest at 6 years old, were both living in the John McCall household (Residence 361 in census record) where their grandmother Mary Johnson Hayes Gallier was also staying. John had just married Martha Ann Garner, also daughter of Matilda Hayes Garner and sister of Ann Garner McCall. They had married in January of the year before, but she is not listed in the household and is not found in any 1860 census record. Matilda, the 2nd oldest, is next door (residence 359), living with her aunt, Matilda Hayes Garner and husband Jacob Garner and children. Nancy, 8 years old, was taken in by her cousin, Ann Garner McCall whose mother Matilda, next door, who took in her sister Matilda. Ann was married to James McCall, brother of John McCall. Also living with them was John Johnson, a cousin. They were living in residence 358. 1880 census, daughter Mary states her mother was born in Louisiana.

  Aurora Remembered (11) In October 1837, two San Augustine men, H. M. Hanks and Colonel Almonzan Huston, former quartermaster general of the Texas army, teamed up to found the townsite of Aurora at present-day Port Arthur.34 One record indicates that the townsite contained 6,677 lots. Although Huston sold some lots to residents of San Augustine, no more than six transactions are recorded in Jefferson County, and the realty venture was soon abandoned. In time, the townsite’s name was transferred to nearby “Sparks’ Settlement,” at the mouth of Taylor’s Bayou, where John and Solomon Sparks settled in 1841 and operated a ferry. Chapter VI: A History of Jefferson County, Texas Early Town-Building and Government By W. T. Block Settlement on the Sabine Lake, first known as Sparks Settlement, and is now Port Arthur, where the Sparks, Courts, Gentz, Burrell, Johnson, Clark, Hayes, and other families lived from 1830s until late 1890s when disease, hurricanes, and mosquitos forced the families to abandon their settlement, moving further inland to Port Neches, Groves, and Beaumont.
