John S. Roberts, 39-year-old Louisiana sheriff, entered Texas in 1826 to help Haden Edwards stage his Fredonian rebellion against Mexico. He returned to settle the following year. Ironically, the very day that he entered Bexar after the siege, he succeeded in bilking the state legislature out of more than 44,000 acres in a fraudulently claimed land grant. At the Convention he represented Nacogdoches. He returned there as a merchant and ran a saloon in the Old Stone Fort until his death in 1871. |
