Juan Seguín (1806-1890), Tejano political and military leader of the Texas Revolution and Republic of Texas, was born in San Antonio on October 27, 1806. As a boy, he helped run his father’s post office while the latter served in Congress in 1823 -1824. His election as alderman in December 1828 demonstrated his great potential. He subsequently served on various electoral boards before being elected Alcalde in 1833. Also, he acted as political chief of the Department of Bexar during most of 1834. His military career began in 1835. After the Battle of Gonzales, Stephen F. Austin granted a captain’s commission to Seguín. He raised a Tejano cavalry company and participated in the Siege of Bexar. From the Alamo, he was sent to recruit more defenders. Later, he and his Tejano cavalry fought at the Battle of San Jacinto. Seguín accepted the Mexican surrender of San Antonio on June 4, 1836. Later, he was promoted to Colonel and placed in charge of San Antonio’s Army command through 1837.  Seguín was the only Tejano to serve in the Senate of the Republic during the second, third and fourth Congress.   SDHP desires to help other non-profits and their causes, to build recognition of our long and distinguished heritage and to inform the general public about our diverse culture of Tejanos, Latinos, and Hispanics SDHP Copyrighted © 2001-2011 Webmaster: Angel  Seguin Carvajal Garcia  Founder SDHP & 1st Priority Search & Recovery            (936) 894-3238       E-mail: Aseguin2@seguindescendantshp.com or   E-mail: Atexhero@seguindescendantshp.com     Copyright © 2001 - 2011 The Seguin Descendants Historical Preservation Inc.  All Rights Reserved.
