(1814-1887) Louisiana native Jacob M. Garner, son of Bradley and Sarah Harmon Garner, settled in Jefferson, a village on Cow Bayou in present-day Orange County, Texas, in 1825. In 1835 he took part in the grass fight and siege of Bexar while serving one of two enlistments in the Texas Army for which he later received land and bounty grants. He married Matilda Hayes in 1838. A prominent citizen of Jefferson County, he served as Jefferson County Justice of the Peace in 1843, District Clerk from 1846 to 1850, Sabine Pass Alderman in 1857, and as a third lieutenant in the Confederate Army in 1861. |
