Francis Richard Lubbock (October 16, 1815 – June 22, 1905) was a businessman, slaveholder, and politician from the American South who played a significant role in Texas history. A South Carolina native, he was a key player in Texas politics, serving as Lieutenant Governor and later the 9th Governor of Texas during the Civil War. As Governor, Lubbock was a fervent supporter of the Confederacy and instrumental in Texas' secession from the Union. After the war, he continued in public service as the Texas State Treasurer. He was the brother of Thomas Saltus Lubbock, for whom both Lubbock County and the city of Lubbock are named.[1]
