From the October 9, 2021, Channel 7 ABC, Texas by Briananna Linn.
Members of the John S. Roberts chapter of the Texas State Society of the United States Daughters of 1812 wanted to honor the 32 veterans who fought in the War of 1812 and later made Nacodoches their home.
They chose the site at the old general mercantile and string shop downtown because it was the site of the John S. Roberts home, who is the namesake of their group. The building is one of the towns least altered storefronts.
All of the men on the marker were leaders in the community and served with great patriotism. They also participated in the state of Teas' battle for independence.
It took the group over three years to get the marker.
