Elisha M. Pease (born January 3, 1812 in Enfield, Connecticut; died August 26, 1883 in Lampasas, Texas) succeeded James W. Henderson as the fifth Governor of Texas, serving between December 21, 1853 and December 21, 1857. Following the end of Pease's term as Governor, Hardin Richard Runnels (born August 30, 1820 in Mississippi; died December 25, 1873 in Bowie County, Texas) became the sixth Governor of Texas, serving between December 21, 1857 and December 21, 1859.
