Alamo Defender. He and his brother Nathaniel, traveled to Texas with Captain S. L. Chamblis's Louisiana Volunteers for Texas Independence. In early February 1836, they were honorably discharged from Chamblis's company because their horses were disabled. The brothers continued on to San Antonio de Béxar, where Nathaniel died of a sudden illness. He remained with the Texan garrison, entered the Alamo on February 23, 1836 and died in the battle of the Alamo.
