No. 29.—William CRAWFORD (6th great grandfather) TO George WASHINGTON.
STEWART’S CROSSINGS, March 6, 1775.
DEAR SIR :—Yours by Dr. Connolly’s man, dated Februarv 24th, is received. I am sorry for your inconveniency in regard to your carrying on your improvements on your land, as you seem to have bad luck. Any service I can render you shall be done with cheerfulness. Mr. Cleveland told me he bought enough of provisions for him, and the hands employed as were wanting. Axes, hoes, and such tools, I shall see provided for you; and as I think Valentine Crawford will be with you before my son, [3] you and he can agree on what will be wanting.
You seem to he at a loss for some one to help out with your servants. I could not help you to a better hand than my son, who has come down for that purpose to assist your people out. He is up to traveling, and may be of some service in hastening their march out. I have instructed him to be steady, and to attend to any orders you shall think proper to give him, until he arrives here : then I shall see them set out from here myself, and see that they are fitted out with what they may want as far as in my power.[4]
Your place is very near the center of the country now, but when the country comes to be more settled, then your Chartier’s land will be near the center of the settlement; but that will be a matter to be settled when the line is determined between the two provinces; till then, I do not think it will be worth while to do anything about it.
Inclosed you have two plats which you must fix warrants to yourself and the dates also of the warrants. The land on the river which I mentioned to you, two men are disputing with me about. They are living on the land, and intend to give me some trouble about it. In your letter you seem unwilling to enter into any dispute. If I can have the matter settled so as to suit you, I will ; and if not, I will lay it on land that will suit you; as I know of some that has no person living on it, or that has but mere trifling improvements, that can be easily settled. The land in the two plats is very good. It is on the Little Kanawha. It is as good as you could wish. Your other plat shall be sent to you by the first opportunity. I could not get it run out now. I am, etc.[5]
The * INSTRUCTIONS FOR WILLIAM STEVENS
March 6, 1775.
As Mr. James Cleveland, whom I have employed to take charge of my business upon the Ohio, is rendered unable at this time by sickness, to proceed out with my People, I must commit the care and management of them, and the business to you till he can follow, or till you can hear further from me.
Proceed therefore, without any unnecessary loss of time to Mr. Gilbert Simpson’s on Youghiogany, where I expect ProVision’s are laid In, and where Majr. Crawford will have in readiness Tools, and Canoes ready to transport you down the River; do not delay one moment longer than you can help in that Settlement, but set out with all your necessaries by Water Ear the great Kanhawa. Your Provisions will goin Casks which are provided for the purpose; but the two Horses which are sent for the purpose of drawing in your Logs, fetching in your Provisions, and tending your Corn when they can be spared from other business, must be sent down by Land in the manner which shall appear most advisable to you at Simpson’s.— The Land you are to go to, lays on the great Kanhawa on the lower or Right hand side as you go up it; the Tract begins abt. two Miles from the Mouth of that River and runs up the same, binding therewith, for Seventeen Miles; you may begin your Improvements therefore in any part, but nearest the middle (for fear of getting of it) would be best if you can carry on your works to equal advantage to do wch. you should examine the Bottoms well to see where you can clear most in the shortest time. So soon as you have pitchd upon the Spot to begin your Improvements on, use every diligence in your power to get as much Land as possible ready for Corn, and continue planting, even with the rare ripe Corn, as long as you think it shall have time to come to perfection. You may, in the meanwhile, be putting up Houses for the Convenience of yourselves to live in, but do not spend any time in fencing in the Field till it is too late to Plant, as the Corn can take no Injury till some time after it is up which will be time enough to begin Fencing.
After the Season is too far advanced for Planting, and you have Inclosed the Field, you are then to go to such other kinds of Improvements as will go the furthest in saving the Land; that is, you are to build, to clear, to Fence, to drain, or do any thing else agreeable to the Act of Assembly which will be highest valued in proportion to the work, and the time spent thereon; and I have a notion that draining will be found among the most profitable things you can do, but as it is impossible for me to judge, at this distance, you must be govern by Circumstances, and your own judgment which I hope will be employed as much as possible for my Interest.
Consult Major Crawford about a Hunter and endeavr. to secure a good one upon the best terms you can to attend you, this Hunter might, probably, be a proper Person to take the Horses down.
I do not know that any of the white Servants will attempt to run away from you, but to guard against it as much as possible keep a strict watch, and as soon as you have got to the Land draw your Canoes (without telling them the reason of it) quite up the Bank and cover them to prevent the Sun from splitting them.
In the Keg with the Lead, there is a Canister of Peach Stone Kernals (near 2000) let them be Planted in Drills as soon as you get to the Land, and fixed upon a Place for a Plantation; also Plant Potatoes, Pease and every thing of that kind in their proper Seasons, if you can get them to carry with you, and if you could get i Boor, and 2 Sow pigs to carry with you it would be a good thing.
As you will be under a necessity of depending upon hand Mill stones for Meal (a pair of which are provided at Mr. Simpson’s) you should take care to be provided with peck to keep them in order. also with a grind stone for your Tools.
I have no reason to doubt, but that you will find every thing provided at Simpson’s by the time you get out, if however it should turn out otherwise, I hope Majr. Crawford will give you all the assistance he can in getting what is wanted as it will be a folly to go down without, get 2 light fluke Plows.
Leave with Gilbert Simpson an exact list of every thing you carry down the River, though never so trifling, for Mr. Cleveland, that he may know what you have and see if any thing further is necessary for him to provide. Endeavour to nake the Servants and Negros take care of their Cloathes and have them mended when wanted.
I give you a description of each Servant, if any of them hould Run away, advertize a good reward to any one that vill bring them to you, to me, or Majr. Crawford.
Take great care of your Tools, that none are lost, or left as ‘ou go along down. Take care also that you have full enough of them for your hands; if to spare, so much the better, as I hall probably send out more hands some time hence; keep a ist therefore of the quantity you have, and call them over frequently. After you have built a House for yourselves, there ‘ight also be one built to lock your Provisions, Tools &c., up in. I cannot pretend to say with certainty, when I shall be with ou; but hope it may happen in May, if not in May, it shall be s soon after as I can make it convenient, nor can I judge with ny certainty how long it will take you to save that Tract on the teat Kanhawa, which you are to go first to, as it contains J,990 acres; but the buildings and other Improvements ought ) be valued (at any rate) before you go to the next Tract or ither return to it, as it lyes on the Ohio, three or four Miles )ove the Rapid, at the great Bent in the Ohio (which is 30 odd files above the Mouth of the great Kanhawa) this is the next ~94 acre Tract I shall Improve, and Lyes in Bottetourt County, the large one of 10,990 acres does in Fincastle County.
I give you Money to bear your Expences out, and hope, and g, that you will use as much frugality in Travelling as posble; keep an exact Acct. of your Expences that you may be able to settle with me when we meet, or with Mr. Cleveland my behalf.
I would have you, as it is as good a way as any, go by Mr. Cleveland’s House, and if he is well enough to give it, take his advise about your Conduct, if he thinks he shall be able to fol low you in any reasonable time, perhaps it may be necessary to leave the Horses at Gilbert Simpson’s for him and the Negro that is run away to come after you by Land, and to drive two or three Cows out, if to be had from the Red Stone Settlement.
Sow the Turnep Seed which you carry as soon as you car with safety, and endeavour to provide Water-Mellon seed, Cucumbers, and every kind of Seed which will serve to make your Corn &ca. hold out at the same time that it adds to you:
good Living.
Get three or 4 good strong padlocks at Leesburg and as man strong Lines for Fishing, as Fish will be a great help to you.
Get Paper at Leesburg, and write frequently to me how yoi go on, as Letters are very apt to miscarry.
I wish you well and that success may attend you, and am &c[6]
March 6, 1775: On this date in 1775, several black men, including one named Prince Hall, were initiated into Freemasonry in Boston. This marked the beginning of what became a huge movement or organization in the United States known as Prince Hall Masonry, composed mainly of African Americans.[7]
March 6, 1775: Prince Hall, a free black clergyman serving a congregation in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, was one of 15 black men initiated into
Freemasonry on March 6, 1775 in a British Army Lodge whose members
were stationed in Boston. Prince Hall then formed a Masonic Lodge of
black men, subsequently receiving a charter from the Grand Lodge of
England when he was unable to obtain one from the Provincial Grand
Lodge of Massachusetts. Hall went on to fight in the American
Revolution at the Battle of Bunker Hill. Prince Hall Masonry
proceeded to form its own Grand Lodges and higher degrees.[8]
March 6, 1776: Rail's Regiment finally left, not until March 6th. On the loth of March the First Division marched through Bremen past great numbers of spectators. On March 21st and 22d, the troops were mustered into the Hnglish service by Col. William Faucit, and on the March 23d the loading of the transports began, lasting until April 15th. The quarters were very crowded, and each
man had a small mattress, a pillow and a woolen coverlet, and every six a wooden spoon and a tin cup. The food consisted of peas and bacon on Sundays,
four pounds for six men ; soup, butter and cheese on Mondays ; four pounds meat, three pounds meal, one half pound raisins, one-half pound suet, for pudding. This was repeated on Wednesdays and the rest of the week. Every six men received daily four cans of small beer and a cupful of rum, often increased by an exchange for bread and cheese. [9]
March 6, 1778: English explorer Captgain James Cook arrives off the coast of present day Ore[10]gon, seeking the Northwest Passage.[11]

March 6, 1815: With the defeat of Napoleon, new restrictions were imposed on the Jews all over Europe.[14] Joseph Lefevre (1st cousin 3x removed of the wife of the 1st cousin 3x removed) was said to have been one of Napoleon’s Bodyguards.
1815: Many Jews settled outside of Jewish districts, and began to live like their neighbors and speak the language of the land. They went to public schools and universities, began to neglect Jewish studies and to disregard the Shulchan Aruch.
In 1815, after Napoleon's defeat, Jews lost the rights of citizenship in several countries. Many Jews became Christian to retain those rights. Thoughtful Jews were concerned about this. They realized that many of these changes took place not because of a dislike of Judaism, but to obtain better treatment. Many rabbis believed the way to address this was to force Jews to keep away from Christians and give up public schools and universities. This didn't work.
Leopold Zunz proposed something else. He suggested that Jews study their history and learn of the great achievements of the past. While Zunz was implementing his ideas, a movement began to make religious services better understood, by incorporating music and the local language. Local Rabbis, however, persuaded the government to close the test synagogue.[15]
March 6, 1816: The Jews were expelled from the Free City of Lubeck, Germany at the instance of the local guilds. This was part of the reactionary backlash that followed the defeat of Napoleon a year earlier. Many of these Jews finally found refuge in the German of city of Moisling. After “a period of adjustment” where the citizens of Moisling determined how many Jews would live in their city and under what conditions, the government provided a house for a rabbi and constructed a building that the Jews were allowed to use as a synagogue if they paid “a moderate annual rent.”[16]
March 6, 1820: On this day in 1820, President James Monroe (stepson of the grandnephew of the husband of the sister in law of the 1st cousin 10x removed) signs the Missouri Compromise, also known as the Compromise Bill of 1820, into law. The bill attempted to equalize the number of slave-holding states and free states in the country, allowing Missouri into the Union as a slave state while Maine joined as a free state. Additionally, portions of the Louisiana Purchase territory north of the 36-degrees-30-minutes latitude line were prohibited from engaging in slavery by the bill.
Monroe, who was born into the Virginia slave-holding planter class, favored strong states' rights, but stood back and let Congress argue over the issue of slavery in the new territories. Monroe then closely scrutinized any proposed legislation for its constitutionality. He realized that slavery conflicted with the values written into the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence but, like his fellow Virginians Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, feared abolition would split apart the nation they had fought so hard to establish.
Passage of the Missouri Compromise contributed to the Era of Good Feelings over which Monroe presided and facilitated his election to a second term. In his second inaugural address, Monroe optimistically pointed out that although the nation had struggled in its infancy, no serious conflict has arisen that was not solved peacefully between the federal and state governments. By steadily pursuing this course, he predicted, there is every reason to believe that our system will soon attain the highest degree of perfection of which human institutions are capable.
In the end, the Missouri Compromise failed to permanently ease the underlying tensions caused by the slavery issue. The conflict that flared up during the bill's drafting presaged how the nation would eventually divide along territorial, economic and ideological lines 40 years later during the Civil War.[17]

The picture depicts the very beginning of the final assault by Santa Anna's army. At 5 a.m. on March 6, 1836, the thirteen-day siege came to a violent climax. With trumpets blaring the "Deguello", the Mexican warning of no quarter, the huge army attacked. Captain Harrison's company known as the Tennessee Mounted Volunteers defended the area in front of the Alamo mission building. This group included Davy Crockett who insisted that he hold the rank of only a "high Private", and not as a Colonel as he was formally known. Travis, the commander of the Garrison placed them in the most vulnerable spot and they proved to be up to the task. The Mexican army did not breach the wooden stockade wall they defended during the battle. [26]
6:30 am The Alamo has fallen[27] March 6. When the fighting ends, all of its occupants other than women, children, and Travis' slave Joe, are dead. Losses to the attacking Mexican army are estimated to be at least 600.[28]
March 6, 1836: Mexican General Santa Anna takes the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, killing all the defenders including frontiersman Davy Crockett.[29] A Harrison died there too but it is not known if he was a relative.

Harrison is not included on most lists of Alamo defenders. Lindley believes he should be included however. Neill signed an affidavit in 1838 swearing that when he left the Alamo on February 14 Harrison was a member of the garrison, and to his knowledge Harrison remained with the garrison and was killed in the battle.[65]
List of Alamo defenders
The March 24, 1836 edition of the Telegraph contained the first list of defenders killed at the Battle of the Alamo. This is a partial scan of that list.
People who are believed to have participated in the Battle of the Alamo, February 23 – March 6, 1836, on the Texan side, are listed here. The first report of the names of the Texian victims of the battle came in the March 24, 1836 issue of the Telegraph and Texas Register. The 115 names on that list were supplied by couriers John Smith and Gerald Navan.[1][36]
HARRISON, WILLIAM B.
HARRISON, WILLIAM B. (1811–1836). William B. Harrison, Alamo defender and officer of the Alamo garrison, was born in Ohio in 1811. He was commanding officer of the company known as the Tennessee Mounted Volunteers, which included David Crockett. This company traveled to San Antonio de Béxar and the Alamo by way of Washington-on-the-Brazos, arriving on or about February 9, 1836. Harrison died in the battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836.

Son of George and Catherine HARRISON
HARRISON, GEORGE (?-?). George Harrison, one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists, received title to a sitio of land in the western part of what is now Brazoria County on August 16, 1824; there he established a plantation. In October 1824 he signed a petition for appointment of a surveyor in the San Jacinto area. He was living in the Cedar Lake section in October 1825, when he asked Austin to come there to treat with the Karankawa Indians. The census of 1826 classified Harrison as a farmer and stock raiser, aged between twenty-five and forty. He had a wife, Catherine, and two sons, one of whom, Andrew Jackson Harrison, was killed in the battle of the Alamo.

Micajah Autry (1794 – March 6, 1836) From Natchitoches, Louisiana on December 13 he wrote: "About 20 men from Tennessee formed our squad.... [T]he war [in Texas] is still going on favorably to the Texans, but it is thought that Santa Anna will make a descent with his whole force in the Spring, but there will be soldiers enough of the real grit in Texas by that time to overrun all of Mexico.... We have between 400 and 500 miles to foot it to the seat of government, for we cannot get horses, but we have sworn allegiance to each other and will get along somehow."[3][48]

Born in North Carolina, Autry was an American merchant, poet and lawyer who volunteered for military service in the War of 1812 against the British. He marched to Wilmington, North Carolina, as a member of a volunteer militia company and later joined the United States Army at Charleston, South Carolina. He remained in Charleston in the company of Captain Long until the Treaty of Ghent was signed in 1815. Bad health forced Autry to quit farming and become a teacher. He moved to Hayesboro, Tennessee, in 1823 and studied law. In 1828 Autry was admitted to the bar in Nashville, Tennessee. He practiced law in Jackson, between 1831 and 1835 in a partnership with Andrew L. Martin. Autry and Martin later started an unsuccessful mercantile business in Nashville. He soon heard of the opportunities in Texas.
From Natchitoches, Louisiana on December 13 he wrote: “About 20 men from Tennessee formed our squad… The war [in Texas] is still going on favorably to the Texians, but it is thought that Santa Anna will make a descent with his whole force in the Spring, but there will be soldiers enough of the real grit in Texas by that time to overrun all of Mexico… We have between 400 and 500 miles to foot it to the seat of government, for we cannot get horses, but we have sworn allegiance to each other and will get along somehow.” He was in Nacogdoches, Texas, on January 13, 1836, where he enlisted in the Volunteer Auxiliary Corps. His letter to his wife written on that date indicated that he had set out for Washington-on-the-Brazos with David Crockett and others under the command of Capt. William B. Harrison. He arrived in San Antonio de Béxar with this company on February 9 and joined the Alamo garrison under the command of Lt. Col. William Barrett Travis. After the siege lasting 13 days, Autry was killed with the rest of the Alamo garrison after the Mexican army stormed it on March 6, 1836.[49]
Along with Bailey, Cloud joined the Tennessee Mounted Volunteers and was killed when Santa Anna’s troops attacked the Alamo on the morning of March 6, 1836. [50]
Taken from The Handbook of Texas Online:
CRAWFORD, LEMUEL (1814-1836). Lemuel Crawford, Alamo defender, was born in South Carolina in 1814. He enlisted in the service of Texas in early October 1835 and served until December 26 of that year as an artilleryman under Col. James C. Neill. He probably took part in the siege of Bexar. Crawford reenlisted on February 11, 1836, and served in the Alamo garrison, probably as a member of Capt. William R. Carey's artillery company. He died in the battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836.

Robert Campbell came to Texas in January of 1836. He was sworn into the Tennessee Mounted Volunteers in Nacogdoches, TX on January 14, 1836. He was a lieutenant under the command of Captain William B. Harrison. They entered the Alamo on February 23, 1836, and were all killed in battle on March 6, 1836. I am trying to determine which Campbell family from Tennessee produced this Alamo defender.
Only 32 men from the nearby town of Gonzales responded to Travis' call for help, and beginning at 5:30 a.m. on March 6, Mexican forces stormed the Alamo through a gap in the fort's outer wall, killing Travis, Bowie and 190 of their men. Despite the loss of the fort, the Texan troops managed to inflict huge losses on their enemy, killing at least 600 of Santa Ana's men.

March 6, 1857: The Supreme Court rules that a slave taken into a free state cannot sue for freedom, in the Dred Scott decision.[53] The United States Supreme Court issues a decision in the Dred Scott case, one of the most important cases in the court's history. In the ruling, the court affirmed the right of slave owners to take their slaves into the western territories, negating the doctrine of popular sovereignty and severely undermining the platform of the newly created Republican Party.
At the heart of the case was the most important question of the 1850s: Should slavery be allowed in the West? As part of the Compromise of 1850, residents of newly created territories could decide the issue of slavery by vote, a process known as popular sovereignty. When popular sovereignty was applied in Kansas in 1854, however, violence erupted. Americans hoped that the Supreme Court could settle the issue that had eluded a Congressional solution.
Dred Scott was a slave whose owner, an army doctor, had spent time in Illinois, a free state, and Wisconsin, a free territory at the time of Scott's residence. The Supreme Court was stacked in favor of the slave states. Five of the nine justices were from the South while another, Robert Grier of Pennsylvania, was staunchly pro-slavery. Chief Justice Roger B. Taney wrote the majority decision, which was issued on March 6. The court held that Scott was not free based on his residence in either Illinois or Wisconsin because Scott was not considered a person under the Constitution--in the opinion of the justices, black people were not considered citizens when the Constitution was drafted in 1787. According to Taney, Dred Scott was the property of his owner, and property could not be taken from a person without due process of law.
In fact, there were free black citizens of the United States in 1787, but Taney and the other justices were attempting to halt further debate on the issue of slavery in the territories. The decision inflamed regional tensions, which burned for another four years before exploding into the Civil War.[54]

In defending the government’s action, Malcolm MacDonald, the Colonial Secretary, said, in effect, that the restrictions were put in place to placate the Arabs and avoid more Arab-led violence. Baker contended that the enactment of the new laws was in violation of the rules of the League of Nations. Furthermore he said that “if the Jews were not a weak and hunted race today, the British government would have repudiated the moral contract which we made with them while the last great was going on.” Sir Archibald Sinclair, the Liberal leader and Leopold S. Amery, the former Colonial Secretary spoke out against the government’s action, with Mr. Amery reminding the House that Winston Churchill also opposed the new rules. All of the talk was useless since the Chamberlain government had the votes to thwart any vote of censure.[61]

From what I have seen, we know nothing of their travels to Washington-on-the-Brazos and thence on to Bexar except one or two signed I.O.U.'s for accommodations, which I don't have specifics on.
Interestingly, Crockett left home with only three men. Abner Burgin, Lindsey K. Tinkle and William Patton (his nephew). We know the first two turned back and didn't sign on to Harrison's company with Crockett, but Patton did sign on and we have nothing about him beyond that. Why they would have been called Tennessee Mounted Volunteers is anybody's guess. Only 4 of the 16 were from Tennessee, if I remember correctly.

Speaking of that, why DO we think that's what they were called? Can't remember what the source was. The official name of Harrison's company was the Volunteer Auxilliary Corps.

Not home right now, but I seem to recall there being two groups who signed on at Nacagdoches either on the same day or within days of each other. The two groups joined to form a single group (15-20 men?) that included Crockett. No idea where (or when) the term "Tennessee Mounted Volunteers" originated, whether or not the entire group remained together, or exact date of their arrival in Bexar.
I seem to recall some information somewhere to the efffect that William Patton (not to be confused with the other William Patton) did fight in the revolution, although he did not accompany Crockett to Bexar. Also recall that he may have ended up in Mississippi after the war.

I'm away from my books, too. But, iirc Sutherland used the term Tennessee Mounted Volunteers, though they were anything but. For example, Cloud was originally from Ky, and actually emigrated with 3 companions, from Missouri, that enlisted in Texas. Allen you're right they didn't all enlist at the same time, but I seem to remember it being over a slightly longer time. As far as their travels, I guess Cobia, covered it the best. Though Tom Lindley made a case that Crockett was separate from Harrison's company and traveled independently much of the way.
Rich, the Volunteer Auxiliary Corps, was one of the three bodies that made up the pteMarch 1836, Texas Army (the other two were the Regular Army, and the Volunteers). Each body had separate enlistment requirements and its own bounties. The VAC was comprised of short term enlistment by men from the United States (Santa Anna's pirates). Terry Todish gives the best explanation I've seen in his book for the basic organization of the Texas Army.
Some folks learn by reading, some folks learn by seeing, and some folks just got to pee on the electric fence.

Thanks Herb. It may be Lindley who I recall saying Crockett went off on his own for a while, but there seems to be no info about where he meandered or for how long.

Allen & Rich, you are both quite correct to ask, I should have stated my sources. All names come from the TSHA online entries except ILK Harrison & Jacob Roth, who I have down as 'Possibles' via Tom Lindley.
This is the more complete version that I use:
Capt. William B. Harrison's Infantry Company (Tennessee Mounted Volunteers)
Autry Micajah, 42. Vol.Aux.Corps. Private
Bailey Peter James III, 24. Vol.Aux.Corps Private. Bailey County, Texas, is named for him.
Bayliss, Joseph. 28. Vol.Aux.Corps. Private.
Campbell, Robert. 26. Vol.Aux.Corps. Lieutenant.
Cloud, Daniel W. 24. Vol.Aux.Corps. Private.
Crockett, David. 49. Vol.Aux.Corps. Private. Cousin to defender John Harris?
Fauntleroy, William Keener. 22. Vol.Aux.Corps. Private.
Harrison, I.L.K. Vol.Aux.Corps. Private. Neill signed an affidavit in 1838 swearing that Harrison was a member of the garrison, and to his knowledge Harrison remained with the garrison and was killed in the battle.
Harrison, William B. 25. Captain. He formed a company, known as the Tennessee Mounted Volunteers, in Nacogdoches, Texas on January 14, 1836. The company reached the Alamo on February 23.
McDowall, William. 43. Vol.Aux.Corps. Private.
Reynolds, John Purdy. 29. Vol.Aux.Corps. Private. It is not known if Reynolds worked as a surgeon in the Alamo garrison. His medical books are on display at the Alamo.
Rose, James Madison. 31. Private. Nephew of President James Madison. Cousin-in-law to David P. Cummins.
Roth, Jacob. Major. Possible defender. Commanded a small East Texas Company (15-20) at the siege of Bexar.
Stockton, Richard L. 19. Vol. Aux.Corps. Private.
Thomas, B. Archer M. 18. Vol. Aux.Corps. Private. Lindley lists him as "Benjamin Archibald Martin Thomas"
Washington, Joseph G. (George?) 28. Private. May have gone by the name of James Morgan.
It should be noted that my 'Alamo Defenders' spreadsheet is for my personal use only. I tend to include most 'Possibles' that I come across, until there is direct evidence that they should not be included.

Forbes' second enlistment sheet has only:
David Crocket [sic]
J. G. Washington
William Patton
Those are the only Alamo names I recognize from the second list. I do have a W. H. H. Smith marked for some reason (years ago), but I don't recognize that name now either.
This "pledge" (written out at the top on both lists) does indeed have the word "republican" between "future" and "Government" which the previous pledge does not have.
