I thought I had seen some where that Rial had died fighting at the Alamo.. I too could find nothing to back that up... But Joe as you said.. Not all names were perhaps listed.. Thinking about Rial's wife Nancy.. and of course not knowing it she was with him in these different counties or if she stayed behind in Roane Co where they married.. I was wondering if there are any Nancys listed that dont have a named husband that is unaccounted for that perhaps could be his wife? A Nancy perhaps in SC, AL or TN? TX even if she made it that far with Rial? Did people back in the 1840-50 move off to Mexico to escape the law? Does Mexico even have census and or type records.. Maybe Rial disappeared in Mexico? LOL I know thats a long shot.. But does anyone know about what records are in Mexico? Brenda
