REF: Andrew Jackson Leslie born 1824 d: 1907 Russellville, Mo. I am doing research on his cousin Andrew Jackson Leslie who went to fight at the Alamo in Bexar Co. Texas and was taken prisoner by Gen. Woll and put in Pelotes Prison in Mexico. He drew a white bean and was released to the Texas government. He was given 1300 acres of land near Helotes Texas and the land is still in the Leslie line even though he didn't marry and had no children. The land was passed on to his brother Samuel's descendants. One Alva Leslie born in Arkansas and went to live with AJ Leslie of Bexar Co. Texas. I knew of the A J Leslie of Russellville first from my Grandmother who was his 2nd cousin. Her grandmother was Margaret Leslie Vanpool sister to the AJ Leslie of Russellville. Thank you again for this wonderful piece of information. Do you happen to have access to Margaret Leslie Vanpool's obit? She died Jan 10th, 1870. Thanks again. Bonnie Morris Conrad Descendant of the Leslie's and Vanpools.

No I do not. I am not researching these families. I happen to have access to old copies of the Russellville Weekly Rustler and am transcribing the obits from these. I have finished 1907 and am currently working on 1911. Let me go back and see what I have on your families.
