WOW!!! To be able to trace your lineage back that far is amazing!! And something to be proud of!! Especially being a Texan!! My family moved to Texas when I was 5 years old from Washington State when my Dad got the job as the Head Trainer for the Houston Rockets. And I couldn't be happier about it!! I'm Proud to be a Texan!! And I'll never leave!!
Wonderful story. I spent a good bit of time at that ranch as a guest on a lease for hunting. Beautiful place, the Burnams are great people. Knew some of rhe history after researching but hearing more from Bobby, Sam and his wife just makes it that much better.
My great granddaddy owned land through reclamation in Waco, Tokyo to be specific back in 1897. His daddy came to Texas in in 1870. His momma ( never knew his dad) settled in the now known town of West , Texas on 2 acres in 1856. Our family is slated to celebrate 200 years of Texian Heritage in a short 7 Years. . I love Texas and will die here come hell or high water, praise the Lord!
What a great story my grandparents and great grandparents were from the panhandle and Oklahoma they were the Hutchings and shacklefords my mom had a picture of great grandpa shackleford by a old wagon I wish I had that picture along with other's maybe someone who watches this may remember their names thank you for sharing this video
A little FYI , After the indian tribes in texas was Tejas a part of mexico , When mexico still owned tejas white settlers would be seeing set up camp in unclaimed land , after the battles and the transaction was done to purchase new mexico, arizona , california and texas from mexico many TEJanos never left , and still ranch and own land till today , you may ask why i know this ? My grandma when still alive used to tell me how her grandpa used to raise and sell cattle in south texas , ranch now owned and passed on to one of my uncles , you now call us mexican americans but thats history but still Tejanos at heart and we love the state
I salute the great Tejanos that fought alongside the Texians for freedom and independence. Especially the ones that died at the Alamo. War with Mexico may soon come again. And I’d be proud to fight alongside brave and gallant Tejanos.
@@lyartbane2115 The Tejanos were already fighting for Independence way before the "Texians" did. The "Texians" simply finished the cause, but Tejanos were trying since 1811. The Casas Revolt in 1811, & the Battle of Medina in 1813.
@@johnnycray4427 Those battles were fought for independence from Spain not Mexico…and why did you put Texians in quotes ? Seems disrespectful. Maybe you just need to remember the Alamo ?
I’m 7th generation Texan. The patriarch in my family definitely knew Burnham. His name was Neal Martin. He was in the battle of New Orleans, San Jacinto, and all the Indian raids from Nacogdoches to the north. He settled outside Wills Point near modern day Lake Tawakoni. We find arrowheads all the time. He has a Texas historical marker on Hwy 47. The daughters of the Republic of Texas have a building adjacent to the Alamo where the old surveys and docs reside.
The original Texans were the Spaniards that named it, & sparsely settled it. It makes me laugh how these people don't mention getting Spanish land grants. Stephen F. Austin lucked out because the Mexican government recognized his dad's Moses Austin land grants, that was granted by the New Spain. Stephen F. Austin travelled to Mexico City, & was imprisoned for a year, until he finally convinced the Mexicans to allow him to continue his resettlements.
My great great grandmother was Lipan Apache and her both Parents were here in burgs mill Texas. My great great grandmother was the first baby baptized at the San Juan Mission in Texas. Us Native Americans were here and indigenous. And that cannibal stories were concocted by European Americans to justify stealing land. This story makes these ppl look like heros😂😂😂 this is why crt is so important, because there was a very ugly side of how these Europeans inherited all their properties.
I am the bastard son of one of the living Burnhams, cool to see some of the history I was denied awareness of by abandonment of paternal responsibility. Thanks for that, Hunter 🤦🏼♂️ Murray and Jolene must have been proud.
I finished elementary school in Mexico, finished high school while in the US army stationed in the Berlin Brigade in West Berlin, went to Douglas College and British Columbia Institute of Technology. Texas is like any other place or religion. Each person has its own beliefs and people can talk any thing they like or believe, after all, this is a free country. My history and belief is 180 degrees away from this video. I love Texas and this is my home.
Betty Grimes here. My families in early Texas. The Boswell family, the Loving family, the Harris family, the Heiny family and later the Hartman family.
Uhhhh yeah the 300 were not the original Texans. Nice try but not true. The originals were the Natives and after that were the Spanish who had been in "Texas" for close to 300 years before the "300" even got to Texas. Stop trying to make up your own history!!!
Good morning Mr. Burnam thank you for continuing to steal credit for titles you don't deserve. The first settlers were Tejanos in Texas it was still called Tejas at that time a native Caddo word for friend. The first fort in Texas was in 1690 it was established by New Spain empire. The people from Austin colony were the first invaders to come steal the land. The Spanish was only establishing Mission at the time because they were spreading the Catholic religion. I am 6th generation Tejano from Brownsville Texas. My family established the local fire house here. I don't appreciate you stealing credit for being the first Texan that honor goes to my ancestors and the indigenous ppl which I am also Nimazewalli. Ppl like you stole our land and sent the Texas rangers to massacres and take our land. Why don't you talk about that instead of you're colonizer Fabrications.
The Paleo were the first immigrants to come to Texas 10,000 to 14,000 years ago. Anyone after that took the land away just the same as the European settlers. Mexico was at War with the Apache and Commanchie, so Mexico was not innocent either.
Just like the witty museum I was insulted by their Texas ranch exhibit there no Tejano ranchers just Anglo ranchers where do these people get off seriously.
Gringos re-wrote Texas history. They tried to make it out to look; as if they just rolled in, & gained their Independence from Mexico. The majority of the land in Texas was stolen after the Mexican American War from Tejanos, & Mexican Americans.
May I add that obviously there were people prior to white people being in Texas. We should not be so prideful and arrogant to not recognize others. We should be able to give credit to others without feeling threatened. I am white and Christian. I say that not in pride, but as a fact. I have friends and coworkers from different countries, ethnicities, and religious beliefs. Surely we can all agree that God made a wonderful world where we can all make a difference!
@@jik5521 Spaniards are white just not northern European white, so whites were already inhabiting Texas before Anglos came along. The problem with Texas history, is that it's been whitewashed. They make it appear that it began in 1836. The fuck it did. Tejanos were trying to gain independence from Spain since 1811
I wonder if they be prideful if they knew there great grandparents had killed Mexican Americans for their land or cheated them out of it because they didn’t understand English
We are from the community of Roma- Los Saenz, ESTABLISHED in 1765, and my ancestors were here far before that time, so yea, you are definitely NOT the first Texan. What cynicism!
Bless yalls heart how hard was it to disregard the Spanish land grants lmao, I guess we were not Texans, my DNA is European too except for the native American, only white people have history
They were not the first texans, there were people already in the area for milenia. There are also accounts that the indigenous people could smell them from a distance also. They were nothing more than immigrants looking for free land, always something for FREE.

I am a descendant of the original 300 also. How neat to meet someone else.
Who cares???

Mexicans are native American Indians.
Ummm no they are Spanish and native!
Go do some research!!!
Don’t tell them what to do.
I belive the first texans migrated from mexico and came to what is known as laredo ttexas back in 1755 actually about 20 years earlier
Texas was owned by Mexico till 1830 the Mexican and American war.
Hee looks just like his ancestor
Thats crazy
1822 ? My family, was in Texas before Texas was Texas...lol Wrong in information to say " the first Texans".
Married 54 years & Never had a agreement cause he knows he's always getting last word yes dear lol 😆 😉 😘 🤣
The coastal Indians, were 6- 7 ft tall, the Spaniards meet them, they died same year of Civil War. Kawkawashian, means dog lover.

Good for you, taking Mexico property, it was never Austin to give. Grant said, most unjust war.
This has always been the way. We just conquest with money these days.
This video is based on European immigrant lies. Natives and Mexican's are the original Texans
The victors always tell the history.
Utterly Ridiculous!!!

Wrong! The first Texans were native Indians! They were here long before the white man came from overseas. Aka the Spaniard’s.
The first Tejanos were the mixed Spanish -Indian people, ......si o si

?? Yankee texan . Texan is a derivative of Tejanos. Texas/ Tejas. They were here 100's of years earlier. Why not embrace historical facts
