Walker County, Texas, is proud to have a second Revolutionary Soldier buried in our county. James Tinsley was born in Culpepper County, Virginia, in 1759. He served the American Revolution from Southy Carolina. He served under General Sumter and General Benjamin Lincoln. He fought in the batles of Cowpens and King's Mountain. About 1837, he arrived in Texas with his second wife, Susannah Hooker Tinsley, and three daughters. He died in 1844, andis buried in an unmarked grave on his land grant in southeast Walker County. This original land grant was in Montgomery County since Walker County was not organized until 1846. His gravesite has never been located. Melissa Tinsley bridgers, one of James Tinsley's daughters, was a Real Daughter. She was admitted to the DAR on April 9, 1892.
