President Houston hired these thugs to steal the Texas historical documents to move them from Austin to the new capital, which had been chosen because of the danger nearby Mexico posed. Jonathan died in 1834, but Angelina continued to live in San Felipe de Austin until the town was destroyed and abandoned in the so-called Runaway Scrape, rather than to have it fall to the advancing Mexican Army during the Texas Revolution.

Angelina and her children had moved to Columbia where in 1836 she met and married a widower by the name of Jacob Eberly.

In 1839, the couple moved to Austin where they operated the Eberly House, a hotel. He became a cartoonist for the opposition paper, The Advertiser, in 1955. The men began to load the archives onto three wagons. The archives were recovered eighteen miles away and returned to the Eberly House, where they were kept safe until Austin resumed being the capital in 1845.

Angelina firing the cannon is now the subject of the statue of her located in Austin.

Presidents could not serve successive terms, and Mirabeau B. Lamar was elected as the second President, serving until mid December, 1841 when Houston began to serve a second term.

Earlier in the year, Sam Houston had lobbied to transfer the archives to Washington-on-the-Brazos and possibly eventually to Houston City, either one of which he deemed to be a safer location for them than Austin, which he thought was still vulnerable to hostile Indian and Mexican forces.

Her second husband died in 1841. Had it not been for Angelina’s impulsive gesture, Houston would now be the capitol of Texas. Recently he became the first artist to be exhibited in the newly restored Great Hall of the Library of Congress.

Angelina operated an inn in Texas, which she operated with her husband until he died in 1834. Jacob died in 1841 after which Angelina continued to run the inn on her own.

The Texas Archives were the official documents of Texas, and included all of the Republic’s land titles, treaties, military records of the revolutionary period, other documents and various historical artifacts.

This happened in December of 1842.

Angelina fired a cannon upon seeing the thugs taking the archives. The incident became known as the Archive War and Angelina Eberly’s exploits became a local legend.

In the years that followed, Eberly first ran a leased inn in Lavaca and then another in Indianola on Matagorda Bay from 1851 until her death in 1860.

Angelina Peyton Eberly is credited with having saved Austin as the capital of Texas by preventing the state archives from being removed to another location.
