On March 2, 1836, Texas declared its independence from Mexico, while the
Alamo was under siege by Santa Anna. Lone Star Junction has a great page,
with the full text of the Texas Declaration of Independence
http://www.lsjunction.com/docs/tdoi.htm . Very interesting reading. Also,
Yale Law School has a section devoted to Texas Independence - the Avalon
Project at http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/texmenu.htm

Dear Sharon James,
You write that you are interested in an African-American family ca 1898. It
has been some time since I researched the films of Harrison Co. that are held
by the Family History Library at Salt Lake City. You can borrow these films
for a small fee through your local LDS family history center. Everyone (who
behaves himself) is welcome at these family history centers.
Have you looked at the LDS online catalog? www.familysearch.org

independence.
