ENGLISH, JOHN (1793-1868). John English, a political leader in
early Texas, the son of Elizabeth (Denton) and
James English,qv was
born on July 5, 1793, probably in North Carolina.
He grew to
manhood in Tennessee and in 1813 was drafted in
Warren County,
Tennessee, to serve as a private in Capt. James
Cole's company of
infantry against the Creek Indians. He was
discharged in January
1814, volunteered again, and served in Capt.
Bethell Allen's
company of Mounted Volunteer Gunmen. English was a
soldier at
the battle of New Orleans under Gen. Andrew
Jackson. He was
taken prisoner on December 23, 1814, below New
Orleans and
held by the enemy for five weeks and six days,
then exchanged. He
married Elizabeth Choate, the daughter of
Christopher Choate, in
1824 in Hardin (or McNairy) County, Tennessee, and
they had
eleven children. He moved to Texas immediately
after his marriage,
but was soon living in Louisiana, where the
governor commissioned
him a captain in the state militia. He moved again
to Texas about
1828 and lived in the Tenehaw area. The Convention
of 1832qv
appointed him treasurer for Tenehaw
Municipality.qv He was a
delegate, with his brother William English,qv to
the Convention of
1833.qv In 1835 he was appointed a captain in the
revolutionary
army.qv In 1837, when he was a resident of Shelby
County, he
served as a representative in the Congress of the
Republic of
Texas.qv In August 1838 he performed a special
mission express to
Clarksville in Red River County, at a time when,
in the words of
President Sam Houston,qv "it was almost impossible
to obtain an
express."
About 1851 English settled in Livingston, which
had been founded by
his brother-in-law. In the early 185os he moved to
the vicinity of
Randolph in Houston County. He died on December
30, 1868. His
grave, in the EnglishHicks Cemetery, east of
Crockett, was marked
with a Texas Centennialqv marker in 1936. His son
John Crockett
English served in the Texas legislature in 1870-71
and as district
clerk in Houston County thereafter.

Well, I have some. This John is supposed to be my husband's ancestor, from
data I got from someone else. Your data looks like mine, probably came from
the same place.
