Dr. James Long 1820 This was another attempt to seize control of Texas. Dr. Long was a native of Culpepper County, Virginia. He was assassinated in Mexico City after his failed attempt. His wife, Jane Long designed the first flag of Texas.

Fredonian Rebellion In 1826 two brothers Haden and Ben Edwards, both from Virginia, Stafford and Bourbon Counties respectively, attempted, unsuccessfully to separate a portion of East Texas from Mexican control.

Texas Revolution of the men which died at the Alamo were native Virginians. James Rose was the nephew of former president of the United States, James Madison. Another 8 Virginians were massacred at Goliad shortly after the fall of the Alamo. Virginians were also present at San Jacinto.

Mexican War When the United States went to War with Mexico in a dispute over the boundary of Texas, over 140 Virginians died. The result of this war was the United States gaining the rest of the Southwest and California.
