Notes - Henry Burgoon was born June 17, 1834 in Sandusky County, Ohio. Although he was born in a northern state, he served in the Confederate Army and became one of the best-known pioneers in the Grapevine area. Several articles about him and his family appear in the Grapevine Area History (1979). One seems to confuse several details of Henry's life, ascribing them to his brother, Amos Burgoon. Henry was the son of Charles Burgoon (1800-1879) and his wife Ann Marie Geiger (1809-1888), who settled in northeast Tarrant County in 1853. Both his parents lived out the rest of their lives here and are buried with headstones in Grapevine Cemetery.
In the 1860 Tarrant County tax lists, Henry Burgoon is shown as the owner of 320 acres of the Henry Burgoon survey, and 40 acres of the Isham Crowley survey. The Texas General Land Office shows no survey made in the name of Henry Burgoon in Tarrant County, but there is one of 320 acres in Dallas County, which he patented on February 1, 1857.
Henry served from 1863 until the end of the war in Co. A, 9th Texas Cavalry, according to a statement Mrs. Burgoon made in her pension application. No records of Henry's service appear in the files of the 9th Texas Cavalry, but several records of his brother, J. Amos Burgoon, have survived. Mrs. Mary V. Burgoon made the pension application, and she very clearly states that her husband was Henry Burgoon. Their headstones at Minter's Chapel clearly read "Henry Burgoon" and "Mary V. Burgoon."
