J. D. Windham, was of Irish extraction, and was born in Alabama, in 1816: moving to Texas in 1839, after a few years residence in Mississippi, where his first wife had died. He married again after reaching Texas, his second wife being a Miss Francis Monteith. J. D. Windham had one son by his first marriage, J. L., and the second was blessed with nine children: S. R.; J. E., deceased; Cal.; Mary, deceased; H., whose biography is here given; Willis; E. J.; Dicie, and Tom. The three eldest sons served in the Confederate army during the war; first, with Sibley, in the New Mexican campaign, and afterwards with Sibley's successor, the lamented Tom Green.

Days were passed on his farm in Angelina County, where the family had moved from Nacogdoches. In 1865 a second removal was made, this time to the westward, a location being made in Brown County, where Mr. Windham resided for nine years, thence moving to Callahan County, where he now lives.
