  1. Here is a more complete list of the men involved in the Battle of San Jacinto, both Republic of Texas regulars and Volunteers to the Republic. Each of these men would have received a Land Grant for their participation in the Battle. If you scan the list you will see names that coinside with large land holders at the turn of the century in Harris and surrounding counties. And names that ended up being counties in Texas. Names like Kuykendall, Barker, Fitzgerald, Lynch, Montgomery (as in Andrew founder of Montgomery, TX), Rusk, Wharton, etc.

  2. Army Rolls for the Republic of Texas

    Men that served in the Texas Army

    Source: Texas State Archives Online Index, Subseries: "Texas Revolution Military Rolls, 1835-1836" and "United States Volunteers Military Rolls, 1835-1837, 1842"

    MUSTER ROLLS #1 1850, Texas General Land Office, Archives and Records Division, Austin, Texas

    "This subseries consists of 7 rolls, representing the companies of 8 captains at the siege of Bexar of 1835, plus Colonel Fannin's division, plus the men at San Jacinto under General Houston, 1836. These lists were compiled sometime after the fact.

    Unfortunately, there are a lot of ommisions in this listing as the original rolls were destroyed in the Oct 10, 1855 fire which swept through the Adjutant General's office. The General Land Office did, however, have copies of most of the original rolls; a positive photostat of the General Land Office Muster Rolls [A3] is available in the Texas State Archives, and each soldier on the G.L.O. Rolls [A3] has been included in the Biographical Index in the search room." [A1]

  3. Here is an example of an 1787 document from the John Gurnett Papers, written in Spanish, with an English translation granting two leagues of land in Nacogdoches to Melchora del Rio for the raising of cattle and horses.

  4. It appears the the surname "Aldine" is Venetian/Italian decent. There is documentation referring to the Aldine family is the most well known of the Venetian printers dating back to 1494. Aldine, was the most celebrated printers in Italy. Who is not familiar with the anchor and dolphin of the Aldine family? The Aldine press had various marks during the century of its existence, from 1494 to 1598, but they were all variations of the anchor and dolphin, the anchor representing stability and the dolphin, grace in execution. No Italian printers ever approached the Aldines in beauty of typography.

    Now thats right after Columbus sailed if I remember right. perhaps there was a share cropper of Italian decent with the last name of Aldine. All reference to the RR naming it after a "local farm family"they mat never had any property deeded to them. And census prior to 1900 may not be reliable.

  5. ALDINE, TEXAS (Harris County). Aldine is on Farm Road 525, the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and the Hardy Toll Road, on the northern outskirts of Houston in central Harris County. It was originally built on the International

  6. Perhaps one of the most enduring question in Houston is: Where is Mount Houston?

    Most people always thought it was that goofy ski slope on the SW Freeway at Loop 610 that didn't last long.

    Me? I always envisioned it was a pile of used tires somewhere.

    You know, you may want necessarily want to discount that map. Yes, they mispelled Balaban Plaza as Balasan, but I can't be certain they are wrong in this case. I contend it is wrong and believe it is incorrect, however, I can't say that with 100% certainty. It is possible that it could have been known as Westbrook for a short time. I personally doubt it, but that's why I sometimes end my posts with the saying "if anyone can add to this..." just in case the fault is with me.

    The Exciting Discovery of Mount Houston

    I got a kick out of this

    Link to Webpage

    MOUNT HOUSTON, TEXAS. Mount Houston is east of U.S. Highway 59 near the Dyersdale oilfield in north central Harris County. It was founded on the Houston, East and West Texas Railway ten miles from Houston. A post office operated there from 1910 until 1918. In 1914 Mount Houston had two churches, a sawmill, a lumber company, numerous market gardeners, and a population of 100. By the 1980s three churches and three schools were within a mile of the townsite, but the community had not significantly increased in size.

  7. Which was the I-45 Drive-In before that. I'm not sure what was there prior to that.

    I grew up near West Mt. Houston and Steubner Airline, by the way. :D

    Actually, I have a 1950s map that shows a tiny airport where Airline reaches U.S. 75 (north of where Aldine HS is today). I've never seen it on any other maps. I'm away from my research materials now, or else I'd provide the name of the airstrip.

    I believe that was Skyline Airfield near where the blimp use to be parked

    This view looks northbound along the North Freeway from just south of Shepherd/North Freeway Merge into Stubner/Airline Intersection in 1959. Boy they've Built some stuff there since then.

    This is for all the North Side Boys to challenge the gray matter they have left!!!

    I grew up right smack-dab in the middle of that picture!

    Mark, I came across that photo of old U.S. 75 in Houston Freeways and it inspired me to write a history of the area, which I'm working on right now as I post this. I stop in here occasionally to see if anyone has posted anything to help in my research. Was I happy to see this post!

    To the left of the future I-45 you can see the beginnings of Hidden Valley. I grew up just to the right of the future I-45 in northline Terrace, which in the 1959 photo is an open field.

    Toward the top of the photo you can see the new Aldine High School, which was built at Airline and West Road in 1956 after the original school (on Aldine Westfield and Aldine Bender) burned down on Thanksgiving Eve 1954.

    Towards the bottom middle of the photo along what was then North Shepherd Drive (U.S. 75) there are three gasoline storage tanks, which is Exxon's (then Humble's) North Houston Products Terminal. I am trying to find out when these were built. If anyone knows, by all means, let me know.

    I'd love to start a thread about the history of the area in the photo, but so far, it seems the board is mostly made up of people who grew up in Sharpstown or along South Main. As best as I can determine, I'm the only person on here who grew up in this area.

    Anyone out there who wants to talk about the Aldine/Airline area?

    That is an amazing photo - I grew up right in the middle of it as well, in Hidden Valley, and my parents still live there. I assume that's Hidden Valley Drive along the north boundary of that first group of houses built in the neighborhood (dead-ending into US 75 as it heads east), and Sunnywood heading north from there parallel to 75 before crossing what would be SH 249.

    When I tell people that are more recent arrivals to that area that it used to be practically out in the country, they find it hard to believe given the massive development that's taken place since then. Unfortunately, flood control improvements haven't kept pace with development, which is why you can count on seeing a shot of the intersection of 249 and 45 under several feet of water on the evening news every time there's significant rainfall in the area.

    Alright! A fellow northsider!

    Yes, that is Hidden Valley Drive dead-ending into 75 and Sunnywood is the north/south street paralleling it. That's Hidden Valley Section 1 and construction started in 1958.

    There's a story in the Houston Chronicle interviewing former Aldine ISD supertendent W.W. Thorne talking about the area being nothing but a treeless plain when he bought a house there in 1958. The reason he bought there? Basically because there was nothing else around!

    I have an ad from 1966 touting homes in Hidden Valley Section 5 for $115 a month. Wow!

    I was doing research through old newspapers last night at U.H. and came across ads for McMahon Chevrolet, which opened in January 1971 at Hidden Valley and I-45. You might be interested in knowing that the Texaco station at that same corner and the Shell at West Mount Houston and I-45 (both incorporating Hidden Valley in their names) were built in 1963 along with the freeway. The now-closed Kroger was built in 1966 and remodeled in 1974. The Hidden Valley Shopping Center apparently was built in 1969 and consisted of a Madsen-Dugan Pharmacy, a Piggly Wiggly grocery store, a TG&Y and later a Weiners.

    I've got lots more if you're interested, including info on roads stores, etc., and I'd love to hear anything you've got on the area. As I've said, I'm doing a history on the area. Actually it's a history of the Aldine Mustangs football team and I'm incorporating facts about how the area has grown and changed to add some flavor to it.

    Perhaps we should start a new thread? That way others might more easily find it and can join in rather than having it buried as off topic in this unrelated one.

  9. Herring Burl Bailey was born Nov. 15, 1936 and lived most of his life in Houston. Surviving are his wife Michelle and six children. Son Joe Dan Bailey, who worked with several Cup teams as a tire specialist in the 1990s, now works at NASCAR's R&D center. Likeable Bailey, whose bearded visage was easily recognizable, never attempted more than six or eight Winston Cup (Grand National) races in a season, and his best finishes were two fifth-places.

    Bailey also competed in NASCAR's lower-dollar Grand American division in the 1960s and 1970s, winning the GA pole at Daytona in 1972 and finishing second in the class standings.

    Bailey was one of a group of persistent small operators who lasted in NASCAR well into the 1980s, although Bailey seemed more to race for fun than for a career. He ran his last Winston Cup race in 1990. H.B. Bailey, part-time NASCAR independent and operator of a group of Houston-area auto parts businesses, died 4/17/2003 of heart failure at the age of 66.

    This is a short Grand National history of the H.B. Bailey NASCAR Grand American Firebird. This car and several others were part of a trial by NASCAR to mix the Pony cars (GT or Grand-American) with the Grand National (now known as Winston Cup) cars. That experiment was to be tried for the first time on September 19, 1971 at North Wilkesboro, NC. That race was to be the first to mix the smaller cars with the Grand National cars. Unfortunately the race was postponed by rain. It was later run in October. Prior to the rain, Charlie Glotzbzch in Junior Johnson
