HALEY, RICHARD B., JR.
A Short Bio of Richard B. Haley, Jr.
Captain Richard B. Haley, Jr. (1810 – 1877) came to Texas in 1822 with his father, John R. Haley, Sr., his grandfather Richard Haley (1745 – bef. 1836), his uncle Richard Haley (1785 – 1850), and various siblings and cousins. The family migrated from VA through the south east onto untamed land which they settled and then sold before moving on to newly opened land. They were in their element in early east Texas where the extended family accumulated vast amounts of land. Richard worked as land agent in Mexican Texas and then the Republic of Texas helping settlers apply for and obtain land grants.
The Haley clan never missed a fight in the early rugged days of Texas. Richard and his cousin Allen Haley along with others from the clan fought in the Battle of Nacogdoches in 1832. 1st Lt. Richard, his father John R. Haley, his brother Charles Q. Haley, and his cousin Allen Haley fought in Captain John M. Bradley unit during the Siege of Bexar and the Grass Fight in 1835 - 1836. He and other members of the family are found serving in units under John M. Bradley and Richard Hooker during the remainder of the Texas Revolution. He was promoted to Captain during the Indian Wars against the Cherokees in 1838 and 1839. Richard was appointed a Justice of the Peace of Shelby County after the Texas Revolution.
The Haley's were prominent members of the Moderators during the Regulator and Moderator War of 1840 – 1844. Richard's father, John R. Haley, Sr., along with John M. Bradley hired a gunfighter to come to Shelby County in a failed attempt to murder Watt Moorman the leader of the Regulators. Members of the Haley clan were well represented on the list of people ordered out of the country by the Regulators which lead to the final, fierce fighting. Richard Haley was a representative of the Moderators in the final truce meeting with Sam Houston in San Augustine. Subsequently Allen Haley and his mother Mary Ann Haley attended the Poison Wedding although they did not eat the deadly cake some was taken home by a slave who gave it to her husband who died.
