Jane Cazneau
Jane Maria Eliza Cazneau (née McManus, widowed Storm; April 6, 1807 – December 12, 1878) was an American journalist, lobbyist, and publicist who advocated the annexation of all of Mexico during the Mexican-American War.
==Education and early career==
She was born on April 6, 1807, in Brunswick, Rensselaer County, New York, the daughter of Congressman William McManus and Catharine (Coons) McManus. She attended Troy Female Seminary, one of the earliest colleges for women, but did not graduate. On August 22, 1825, she married Allen B. Storm. Their son, William Mt. Storm (b. August 2, 1826), became an inventor who patented in April 1853 an "Improved Process for Mixing Air and Steam for Actuating Engines.".〔(''Patent Nr. 9,654, April 5th, 1853'' ) in ''Commissioner of Patents Annual Report for 1853'' issued by the U.S. Commissioner of Patents in 1854 (Part 1; pages 168f)〕 They separated in 1831, and Allen Storm died 1838 in New York City.
In 1832, Jane's father ventured into land speculation, and was one of the founders of the Galveston Bay and Texas Land Company, and Jane and her brother Robert traveled to Texas, which was then still part of Mexico, to buy land. The next year, Jane, her father, her brother Robert and a company of German settlers set out to take possession of the land, but the scheme failed when the German settlers refused to go beyond Matagorda. She returned home with her father to Brunswick, NY. Her brother Robert remained in Texas and eventually became a wealthy planter.
