Researching the Texas Soldiers
Dr. Morris K. Jackson and a group of other area researchers (Peggy Jasso, Trisha Perkins, and Jeff Opperman) spent over 160 hours identifying 194 individuals from the 1835 Nacogdoches County who participated in the Texas Revolution. The team used bounty payments, land grants, military service records, wills, and other historic documents to identify the Revolution's Nacogdoches participants.
