BOYDSTUN

Jule

Howell Terrance Boydstun, said to have married while living in Texas in the 1800's, wife's name unknown. She was possibly Indian, they had two daughters, Mary and Martha. I have very little details on his life in Texas, but it is rumored that his wife may have died in Texas, her name erased by another family member (said to have been her husband's son by his 2nd marriage). H.T. also may have been in the Military there, protecting the border from Indian raids, how ironic! If by chance you know of this family, please respond to the email address.

BRACKENRIDGE

Bill Matthews

new email address
My website includes my grandfather (John Garrett Matthews) autobio .. he grew up in Jackson Co.  My great grandfather's (Erastus Allen Matthews') second wife was Lenora Helena Brackenridge, sister to George Brackenridge. The Allen Matthews that is buried at the Brackenridge Cemetery was his youngest child. E.A. and Lenora separated a couple of years after E.A. Jr died. She moved to San Marcos, and for a while dropped one of the Ts out of her name. However, when she buried her children at the San Marcos City Cemetery - the T was restored. There is also a book on George Brackenridge by Dr Mary Ann Sibley that was published in early 1970 that talks about Jackson Co during the Civil War period.  My great-great-grandfather/mother (Loderick and Mary Matthews) are buried out at El Toro on land that he bought in 1851.

BRIDGER
BRIDGERS
BRIDGES

Jim Cowan

William B. Bridgers received his land grant in 1824 signed by Estevan F. Austin.   William was born in 1795 in NC.  He served under Capt. John Alley during the Texas Revolution.  His second wife was Harriet Fuqua, sister of Galba Fuqua who died in the Alamo.  Their marriage bond was signed in Gonzales in 1832. She died prior to 1836.  His third wife was Elizabeth Lyons Tribble.  Her father, James Lyons was killed by Comanches in 1837 at Lyons Station, now Schulenberg.  Her brother, Warren Lyons, was taken captive and was not seen again for 10 years.  William became a JP and some of the marriages he performed can be seen on the LaVaca County TXGenWeb site.

He died in 1853 in Fayette County.   An historical marker was erected for him in the Lyons Family Plot in the Schulenberg Cemetery.

LA BAUVE

Lynn LaBauve

"My father, as is often the case in our sojourns through life, was not contented with the monotonous life of the humble plotter of this life, and he extended his visions in the vast infinite that separated his family from the immensity separating him from the great State of Texas; therefore in August, 1858, we wended our way to New Iberia, then a small hamlet. Took passage on the steam-boat S.M. Darby and landed at Morgan City, just twelve hours before the steam-ship Orizaba steamed in Indianola, Texas. Our family took passage aboard here, and twenty four hours later, we were at Indianola. Texas. Here, father put me and Shelby, one of our negro boys, in charge of his buggy."

From my great-grandfather Gilbert LaBauve's diary/journal "My father, as is often the case in our sojourns through life, was not contented with the monotonous life of the humble plotter of this life, and he extended his visions in the vast infinite that separated his family from the immensity separating him from the great State of Texas; therefore in August, 1858, we wended our way to New Iberia, then a small hamlet.

Our family took passage aboard here, and twenty four hours later, we were at Indianola. Texas. Here, father put me and Shelby, one of our negro boys, in charge of his buggy."
