Elisha Marshall Pease ( January 3, 1812 - August 26, 1883) served as the fifth and 13th governor of Texas. A native of Enfield, Connecticut, Pease moved to Mexican Texas in 1835. He soon became active in the Texas independence movement and after the Texas Revolution began, Pease became the secretary of the provisional government. Following the annexation of Texas to the United States, Pease was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1845 and reelected in 1847. In 1849, he ran for the Texas Senate from District 11 (Brazoria and Galveston counties) but lost to John B. Jones who was sworn in on November 5, 1849. Pease contested the election, was declared the winner, and was sworn in four days later on November 9, 1849. Pease was elected governor in 1853 and 1855. During the American Civil War, Pease sided with the Union but kept ten enslaved people at Pease’s Austin plantation in 1860.

Sheridan, who was the military head of the Reconstruction government.
