I'm a direct descendant of the original colonialists of what is now the State of Texas. My ancestors had the 1st ports, banks, churches and minted the only coins here in Texas, which is the real story behind the Lone Star, not a flag made by an old lady. Cowboy culture was created by them and they were secretly Jews, even secret from some of them. They had millions of acres and hundreds of thousands of long horn cattle; they would be worth Trillions today; unfortunately they were the losers in the Last War here. Attached is information and picture of the 1st minted coins in Texas known. I'm a proud 11th generation Texan.
