citizen of the Republic of Texas between 1836 and 1846. According to http://www.lavacacountyhistory.org/biographies5.htm
Gideon Blackburn,"... a native of Tennessee, Mr. Blackburn came to
Texas about 1840 or '41, and located on the Mustang Creek, now in Lavaca
County."

"Blackburn, Gideon 05-02-1817 Williamson Co., TX 12-23-1881 LaVaca Co., TX Dufner, Mary Ann"
This
is from: The Daughters of the Republic of Texas list of ancestors who
were citizens of the Republic of Texas. Great grandfather Gideon B.
Blackburn was born in 1817 - in Tennessee, not in Texas - and died in
1881. He lived in Lavaca county, Texas during the time of the Republic
and his wife's name was Mary Ann Dufner. Yes, Mary Ann Dufner was German and Gideon B. Blackburn was Scots-Irish and originally a Presbyterian.
Grandmother
Virginia Pyron's uncle, John L.D. Blackburn is also listed in the
Daughters of the Republic of Texas list of ancestors in the Republic.
Great-great uncle John L.D. Blackburn was in the Texas Army and was in
the Mier Expedition. On December 23, 1842 about 300 members of the Texas
Army invaded and occupied the town of Mier in Mexico. The Texans ran
out of supplies and surrendered to a superior force of Mexicans. They
were put in prison, but they escaped from the Salado prison on February
11, 1843. All but four of them were recaptured by the Mexicans. Who were
the Texans who made it back to Texas?

Savage Frontier, 1842-1845, by Stephen L. Moore
After
the escape of the Texans from the prison at Salado, "Mexican forces
pursued and captured most of the Texans during the next two weeks. John
Alaxander and Major William Oldham survived a perilous journey through
the mountains and across the Rio Grande, arriving in San Antonio in
Mid-April. Only two other Texans from this escape party were known to
have made it back home alive, Thomas W. Cox and John L.D. Blackburn."
