JOSE FRANCISCO ANTONIO MENCHACA was born 1795 in Nacogdoches. His family along with others in the time of much turmoil between countries and who would control Nacogdoches , relocated to neutral ground in Natchitoches, Louisiana. On August 1, 1825 he married Maria Feliciana de los Santos Sanches in Natchitoches, Louisiana born 1808 in Nacogdoches , she the daughter of Jose Leandro Sanches and Maria Tomasa Martinez
In 1827, Antonio moved he and his new family to Nacogdoches to begin life as husband, father and his occupation as tailor. During these years of Mexican occupation of Nacogdoches, he was appointed as "sindico
procurador" for Nacogdoches and served in this capacity for the Mexican government and also for the Republic of Texas after 1836. Was Capt. Of the Texas Militia and his list of archived pay vouchers include the names of , Juan N. Seguin, Sam Houston , Col. A. Sidney Johnston, Vincente Cordova, and other notables, who had been major factors in the independence of The Republic of Texas .
The Republic of Texas was a Territory of The United States of America. These areas within this "jurisdiction ", were subject to the same rules of immigration of Americans into all territories, including The Republic of Texas. As a Mexican Loyalist and now a Republic of Texas resident , Antonio Menchacas' verbal and written objections of the mass migration of Americans into the area, before and after the independance of Texas : "as he was seeing the continuance of Old Spanish Land Grants being dissolved"-- Not a sign of mixed loyalties, but later would be charged with treason.
He was ordered by Major Gen. Thomas J. Rusk , to command Vincente Cordova and his loyal followers to disband their revolutionary actions and lay down their weapons and return to Nacogdoches. Thus the begin of the Cordova Rebellion of 1838-1839. Upon, just his report of the conditions of the encampment and their intentions, and not the surrender, he along with the others actually involved in the Cordova Rebellion were tried for treason and murder. He was tried in San Augustine, Texas, for treason and sentenced to death. He was pardoned by President of the Republic of Texas, Mirabeau Lamar on February 18, 1839, and agreed to leave the Republic of Texas. He relocated with his family along with his son in law, Juan Jose Luna who had married his daughter Maria Rafela Menchaca and they lived in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana. The families can be found on the Census year of DeSoto Parish 1850. Juan Jose Luna during the years of 1850 and 1858 had returned to Nacogdoches with wife Rafela and children.
In 1858, Antonio Menchaca, was notified, his daughter Rafela Menchaca Luna, and son in law Juan Jose Luna, had died from the results of an epidemic in Nacogdoches. Antonio petitioned to the State of Texas for re-admission to Texas and Nacogdoches -for he and his wife, Feliciana, to care for the children who were now parent-less. He was granted permission and returned to Nacogdoches in 1858 and assumed his grandchildren of his daughter : Concepcion Luna b. 1849, Francisco Luna b.1854 and Andres Mathis Luna 1852, into their household and reared them until adulthood. It is not precisely known the exact date of his death, but judged by tax records of the years, his name no longer appears on tax records after 1878.
Jose Antonio Menchaca had seen the years of The Six Flags Over Texas, The War of 1812, the fight for Texas independence, Texas becoming the State of Texas 1845, the Mexican-American War 1848 and The Civil War . His only son Jose Antonio Manchaca, Jr b. 1834 served in the Civil War and died in 1911, and is buried in the Lazarine Cemetery in Nacogdoches County , Texas. His last surviving child, daughter Ursula Menchaca born 1838, died in 1915 and is buried in the Moral area cemetery Immaculate Concepcion Cemetery, Nacogdoches County ,Texas
The place of burial for Jose Francico Antonio Menchaca and wife Maria Feliciana de los Santos Sanches Menchaca, cannot be confirmed, but is assumed they would also be buried in the Lazarine Cemetery , as their son Jose Antonio Manchaca born 1834 in Nacogdoches and died 1911 in Nacogdoches, and descendants are interred here also.
