Charles C. Stibbens, Battle of San Jacinto Veteran
Stibbens arrived in Texas from Maryland via New Orleans with the first volunteer company which he himself had organized and financed to support the Lone Star Republic. He was a soldier in the Texas Revolution at the commencement at Gonzales in 1835. Documents show he served until the first day of January 1837. Charles C. Stibbens and his volunteers formed the First Volunteers, Company "I." His service record, number 496 shows he was in Major Leander Smith's company at muster on 5 April 1836. Furthermore, he served from 20 April to 22 June 1836 in Captain William S. Fisher's company of Velasco Blues at San Jacinto. On the muster roll of Company I, First Regiment of Volunteers under the command of Col. Millard, Charles's name is number 22. His name is engraved on the original 1939 bronze plaque at the San Jacinto MonuĀment. His name also appears in, The Honor Roll of the Battle, A Complete List of Participants and Personnel on Detached Service.{Brenda Kellow}
Stibbens according to family came from Maryland and was probably born around 1800.No one has traced him back to his parents. Undoubtedly his family name was Stebbins orginally. Does anyone have any information or clues on his family in Maryland?Can anyone help?
