Jefferson/Orange County Residents Prior to March 2, 1836

Information from the Las Sabinas, The Orange County Historical Society, Orange, Texas, 1986, p.15. This list is the so-called 1830 Citizens of Texas. It contains a list of the first class grantees, those arriving before March 2, 1836, as they applied for original land grants or newly allowed increases under the new Texas Constituion of 1838. These people took an oath that they were in Texas prior to March 2, 1836, and listed two witnesses to verify this claim.
