John Bowden was listed on the lottery for Cherokee land in Georgia, 1832,
which is before the actually forceable move of the Cherokee.  This means
that the land of the Cherokee was being sold before the Trail of Tears
began.  John was not successful in obtaining land and moved on to TN.
John was of English descent.[2227494.ged]

"War of 1812 Veterans
in
Southeast Texas
The following list of Veterans of the War of 1812, who were at sometime
in Texas, was mostly gleaned from "War of 1812 Veterans in Texas," by
Mary Smith Fay, published in 1979. Much more detailed information on the
veterans' service and family, etc. are included in this most informative
book which covers all of Texas.
The requirements for inclusion in her book was service (military or
civilian) in the War of 1812 and that each one had been in Texas at one
time or another.
Included here are those veterans who are known to have been in the
following counties: Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Newton, Orange, Sabine,
San Augustine and Tyler. I have also included mention of those in
Chambers, Liberty, Polk and San Jacinto, as those counties were also in
the original Atascocito District of Texas which covered most of what is
now referred to as Southeast Texas. Also included are a few who had some
other connection to the above counties (Example: someone from Sabine Co.
swearing they had served in the War of 1812 with the person in question).
Widows of the War of 1812 veterans who came to the above counties in
Texas are included at the end of the regular listing.
Also included are a few that were known to be veterans of the War of 1812
that were not included in Mrs. Fay's book. Hopefully, there will be more
detailed information on these and other veterans and their families in
the near future. If you know of additional veterans, with a connection to
the above counties, please let me know so they may be included also.
