Jacob founded Waco, TX wrote books and made an early map of Texas

[edit]

In 1849 Jacob founded the City of Waco, Texas as well as the cities of West and others in central Texas. He traveled to Europe in the 1840-50's giving speaches and making arrangements for settlers to move to his land in Texas. He is credited with bringing the first cotton gin to Texas. There is a historical marker on the Brazos river next to the Waco Suspension bridge in down town Waco Today and he is featured as "The Land Merchant of Texas" in the Bob Bullock Story of Texas Museum in Austin, TX. He wrote the book "Texas, Her Resources and Public Men" in 1847 and commissioned one of the first accurate maps of the state of Texas. He was orginally buried in Grandview, TX but in 1931 he and his wife's remains were moved to the Republic of Texas Cemetery in Austin, TX. Carldec (talk) 06:01, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
