Hi, I agree with you, based on eligibility to join the Sons of Republic of Texas and Sons of San Jacinto Organizations. These records are in the Sons of Republic of Texas Library in Austin, and some in the Alamo library Also, they are posted inside the Theatre Room of the San Jacinto .Monument on a Silver Plaque. Prove that connection and they may show you some records not in a room normally open to the public. . Capt Alfred Henderson Wyly and his East Texas Redlanders included some of his Balch kin from Greene County, Tennessee joined Gen. Sam Houston at Groce's Crossing a day before the Battle. Capt. Wyly is buried near Waller or Hempstead- but many of his descendants went to Picton, Hopkins County, Texas. One of these descendants is a Retired Texas Highway patrolman and deputy sheriff in Brownwood and this is the second year he has been in the San Jacinto Reenactment Battle as a member of the Sons of Texas Vets of Texas Rev. Another of his cousins, Alton Wyly of Vega, Texas was also a descendant of Capt. Alfred Henderson Wyly. Alton married a girl from Duffau, Erath County, before moving to Vega, Texas. They rarely missed our Stephenville Wyly Reunions. I had the records needed by the Brownwood deputy to complete his connection to Texas Rev. and to my kin and his back in Georgia and Tennesse. Take care, Charles A.
