Biographical History
Businessman George Louis Hammeken (?-1881) moved to Mexico around 1831, settling in Texas as a representative for banking agents Manning and Marshall four years later. As president of the Brazos and Galveston Railroad, he purchased land in Austinia, the planned site for the company’s main office. From 1839 through 1841, Hammeken served as secretary to Barnard E. Bee, the Texas minister to Mexico, and his successor James Webb. Establishing the commission merchant business Hammeken and Andrews in San Luis, Hammeken recruited investors to develop a railroad and canal, plans which were abandoned by 1843. Within the next five years, he married the daughter of General José Antonio Mexía, Adelaide Matilda Mexía, with whom he had two children. Living primarily in New Orleans and Mexico City, Hammeken and his brother-in-law Enrique Guillermo Antonio Mexía managed the family’s land holdings in Texas.
