Thank you for posting. Note that most of those listing a Texas birthplace also have Hispanic names. Texas would, of course, been part of Mexico when they were born and these men would have been the modern equivalents of Americans of Hispanic background who value what America stands for more that the views of what their racial identity assigns them to think by Mecha and La Raza.
Thank you!
