Governor Peter Hansborough Bell, born in Virginia, went west to Texas to join Henry Karnes' company in the battle of San Jacinto, fighting for Texas independence in 1836. He joined the Texas Rangers in 1840, served in the Mexican War, and was elected Governor of the State in 1849, serving until 1853. He went on to serve in the Congress from Texas before the Civil War, and to serve in the Confederate Army as a colonel.

As a resident of the Republic of Texas when the Constitution of 1836 was put into effect, he was entitled to "first class headrights" of one league of land, as head of the family.

His daughters Sarah and Susan inherited his land in Burnet County, and Sarah and her husband built a home there. [see also the section on Land Grants in the "Handbook of Texas," v.2, p.20].
