Born in Sevier County, Tennessee, John Henniger Reagan (1818-1905) came to Texas in
1839. He was an attorney, a judge, a militia officer, and a Democratic politician
who served in the U. S. House of Representatives both before and after the Civil War
(1858-1861, 1875-1887), and as a U. S. Senator from Texas (1887-1891). In 1861,
Reagan was appointed by President Jefferson Davis to be the Confederate
Postmaster-General. He also served as the Confederate Secretary of the Treasury
until his capture in 1865. In later life, Reagan served as the first Railroad
Commissioner of Texas (1891-1903) and founded the Texas State Historical Association
in 1897.
