Biographical History

Landowner and leader of the Fredonian Insurrection, of Nacogdoches, Tex.

From the description of Haden Edwards papers, 1831-1969. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 70956254 From the description of Broadside, 1839. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 70956252

Born to U. S. Senator John Edwards in Virginia, Haden (or Hayden) Edwards (1771-1849) studied law before marrying Susanna Beall, with whom he had thirteen children, in 1820. Three years later, Edwards joined Stephen F. Austin in convincing the Mexican government to allow American colonization in Texas. As empressario in the Nacogdoches area in 1825, he angered original settlers by making them prove their claims before he sold the lands to new inhabitants. After he certified the election of his son-in-law, the older settlers received aid from the militia to instate the opponent. Following these and additional issues, the Mexican government revoked Edwards’ grant in October 1826. He then established the Fredonia Republic with his brother and others, but they fled before Mexican forces arrived in early 1827. Edwards later returned to Nacogdoches to fight in the Texas Revolution, remaining there until his death in 1849.
