I have made requests in the past for any information anyone might care to share re- garding Lemuel Crawford. Someone out there is bound to know something about Lemuel. He wasn't an ordinary person, he died at the Alamo. Now,anyone who has a relative that died in that cause would be proud of that fallen hero. I have some information that leads me to believe he was my GG uncle, but I am light years away from any substantial confirmation. The information I have in that regard has been passed to me by others who have gleaned it from family bibles, etc. I have developed the following information from the Texas State Archives and the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. 1. Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Vol. 34, Pg. 252, Jul. 1932, Apr. 1933 refers to a David Crawford of Wetmore, TX who states that Lemuel was his uncle. Does anyone have information as to what line of Crawfords David belong to? Does anyone know of any of David's living relatives? 2. On July 13, 1840, Lemuels heirs were granted 1920 acres from the state of Texas for his military service. The land was in Taylor County, TX. 3. On Dec. 26, 1836 Col. J.C. Neill, his commanding officer submitted to the Republic stating that Lempel was entitled to pay for 2 months and 24 days service totaling $45.28. Lemuel left the Army on this date, but later rejoined and was at the Alamo. He was approximately 22 yrs. old when he died. 4. On July 13, 1840 Mr. B. T. Archer, Sctry. of War for the Republic signed a docu- ment assigning what ever pay Lemuel was due for the period of Feb. 13, 1836 to (when he reenlisted) to March 6, 1836, to Mr. E. Burleson for services as Attorney of Adms. 5. Lemuel married a lady named Jane Gotcher who lived near Rabbs Creek in what is now Lee CO., TX It is my understanding that they had one daughter and one son, although I haven't been able to confirm that en toto. Do know for sure that there was a daughter. One of the things that makes this search so difficult is the fact that the Army of the Republic of Texas did not maintain enlistment records as we do today. No next of kin, parents, etc. at least if they did I haven't been able to find it. If anyone knows of any documents anywhere in this country, or person or persons in this country that would lead me to his parents and line, I would travel anywhere to find it. If this information is of any benefit to anyone, that's great, you are free to use it. I would appreciate any help. Dale Crawford Houston, TX
