Although Edwin Oswald LeGrand (1801–1861) was born in North Carolina, he was an original Texan. LeGrand was one of the fifty-seven men who signed the Texas Declaration of Independence. He was a San Augustine delegate to the Convention of 1836 at Washington-on-the-Brazos and fought in the Battle of San Jacinto. His sister, Mrs. William Colson Norwood, and her family also settled in San Augustine, Texas. LeGrand is buried near San Augustine.
