From Texas 1812 Veterans site by Find-A-Grave.
While looking up the Waco veterans in the previous post, I came across this site which listed 155 War of 1812 veterans buried in Texas. I went to the last page and looked up the names on the list. Several of these men signed the Texas Declaration of Independence as well as the Texas Revolution.
ROBERTS, JOHN S.-- (1796-1871) Signer of Texas Declaration of Independence. Buried Nachagdoches.
ROBERTSON, STERLING-- (Oct. 2, 1785-March 4, 1842) Born in Nashville, Tennessee. Buried Austin. Signer of Texas Declaration of Independence. Fought at battle of New Orleans. In 1825 received permission from Mexico to settle in Mexican Texas. Brought 600 families with him.
ROBERTSON, STERLING CLACK-- Born and died same date so I think this is the same man listed twice.
ROWE, ROBERT-- (1793-1869) Buried at Round Rock.
