Henry Weidner Baylor
Henry studied medicine and liberal arts at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, founded in 1780, which is one of the oldest universities in the United States.  In 2839, Henry had relocated to Texas and joined the forces of Col. John H. Moore in an effort to fight Comanches prior to establishing his medical practice in La Grange, Fayette County.  After going on several campaigns in pursuit of marauding Indians, he interrupted his medical practice to enlist in Company E of Col.
John Coffee Hays
‘ First Mounted Riflemen, First Rgt., where he served as a surgeon during the Mexican-American War.  He would reenlisted with Hays in the Second Rgt. and became a Captain.  This unit served under U. S. Gen. Zachary Taylor and operated between Vera Cruz and Mexico City before returning to San Antonio.
After the Mexican-American War, he would return and was located near Independence, Texas and was married.  Baylor died of an unknown illness two years later and is buried in Independence, Texas.  Baylor’s two younger brothers were John Robert and George Wythe Baylor.  They were all nephews of Judge
Robert Emmett Bledsoe Baylor
, whom was the co-founder of Baylor University in 1845.
Henry W. Baylor is the namesake of Baylor County, located in North Central Texas.  It was carved out of Fannin County in the late 1850s and formally founded in 1879.  Before the Anglo settlement began, it was inhabited by a band of Comanche Indians who relied on its supply of buffalo for a great part of their basic needs for survival.  It was not until the buffalo were eliminated from the area that the Comanche Indians were defeated and moved to a reservation in southern Oklahoma in the mid 1870s.
