The Munsons of Texas — an American Saga

The date was a November day in 1828. The place was a raw, untamed frontier region of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. A barge carrying a party of twenty-four persons landed on the south bank of the lazy and very muddy Brazos River about six miles upstream from its mouth on the Gulf of Mexico. It was near a small stream known as Jones Creek, made famous by a fierce battle in 1824 between a band of settlers under the leadership of Randall Jones and a group of Karankawa Indian braves. The present town of Jones Creek got its name from that stream.
Aboard the barge were Henry William Munson (aged 35), his wife, Ann Binum Pearce Munson (aged 28), their two young sons, William Benjamin (aged 4) and Mordello Stephen (aged 3), and twenty slaves. This was the arrival of the Munsons of Texas to the land that would become Brazoria County. They had come to settle on the 554 acres of rich gulf-prairie land that Henry William Munson had recently purchased from Stephen F. Austin for the price of one dollar per American acre

Footnote is now Fold3
This announcement isn’t a complete change from what we’ve been doing. Some of our best and most popular work has been on military titles like the Revolutionary War Pension files, the Civil War Service Records and “Widows’ Pensions,” WWII Missing Air Crew Reportsand the Interactive Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall.
This new focus will direct our content plans and allow us to organize the site around military records. In the future we’ll make other changes that will help us build the best online source for records related to the U.S. military, the men and women who have served and the families who support them.
You will still be able to access the great non-military records previously found on Footnote, but we’ll be adding millions of U.S. military records, like these that we’ve already begun work on:
- Word War II “Old Man’s Draft” Cards
- War of 1812 Pension Files
- Mexican War Service Records
- World War I Officer Experience Reports
- Confederate Casualty Reports
