Three days after his victory over Santa Anna's army, Sam Houston still lay in his tent on the battlefield at San Jacinto. His left leg throbbed with the pain of a compound fracture inflicted by an enemy bullet. He was angry. His ragtag, outnumbered volunteer army contained Texans, Tennesseans, and Louisianans, but almost none of the nearby landowners, despite his plea for help two days before the battle. Perhaps driven by that fevered anger, Houston struck back at them. The instrument of his retaliation was another local landowner. David Kokernot knew his neighbors and the neighborhood and took the assignment with apparent relish. He would regret it forever.This meticulously researched biography details Kokernot's life from his birth in Amsterdam to his time with the alcoholic pilots at the mouth of the Mississippi River, to his actions in the Texas Revolution which earned him the scorn of his superiors and neighbors. It follows him afterwards as he retreats to more remote counties of Texas, living as a dry-goods merchant and modest cattle rancher, one who watched his sons succeed among the largest ranchers in the state.Students of Texas history will be pleased with the many historic sketches, photographs, and newly created maps which illustrate this life of an unpopular and misunderstood Texian.

hile there has not been any definite proof that Thomas Barber and Samuel Barber are related, available records would indicate a close connection. This connection is supported by DNA evidence. Records indicate that the American progenitor was Francis Barber (born in England about 1616/1617), who may be the same Francis Barber who arrived in Virginia in 1635, and whose children include: Francis, Samuel (who married Elizabeth Heathcote), John, Sarah, Elizabeth, Joseph and William. Before coming to New England, Thomas Barber was apprenticed for nine years (1634-1643) under Francis Stiles, a master carpenter from Millbrook, Bedfordshire, England. Stiles was contracted by Sir Richard Saltonstall to bring apprentices to Windsor, and to build houses in America for Englishmen who were to follow. Thomas Barber arrived in Windsor in 1635. Thomas was cited for bravery in the Pequot War in 1637, and was granted 600 acres of land in return for his service. Thomas died in 1662. Chapters include: Thomas Barber, The Emigrant; Peter Browne, Mayflower Passenger; Jonathan Gillette, Immigrant (1633) on the Ship Recovery; The Loomis (Loomys) Family; William Nathaniel Barber; William Cone (1662), American Progenitor; William and Moses Barber; Obediah Barber; Jeremiah Smith Baden; North Carolina Barbers; Georgia Barbers; Dr. Luke Barber; George Barber of Maryland; and, Moses and Elizabeth Barber of Goldston, Chatham County, North Carolina.
