Teri, my gggrandmother, Martha Raborn Carter, had a sister who married John Travis in Amite County, MS. Family tradition says he was a first cousin of William Travis. Would that make us related? :) That's my closest connection to anybody at the alamo.

It was then that the gabled roof and "hump" were added. For some great info on the Alamo, go to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas site at > http://thealamo.org/ . My 1st cousin 5X removed through marriage was William Barret Travis, the commander at the battle of the Alamo. He married Rosanna Cato (my 1st cousin 5x removed). > > Teri > > > > > ==== TXREDRIV Mailing List ==== > > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > >
