    3. Does anyone know anything at all about Soloman Youngblood who died in the Goliad Massacre in 1836? I saw his name on the monument over the mass grave where 380 men, murdered by Santa Ana, were buried. Some research has turned up his company, which was Company #1 of the Georgia Battalian, under Captain William Wadsworth and later Company #3 under Captain James Winn. Both of these captains were from Georgia, and the Georgia Battalian consisted mostly of men from Georgia and Alabama. A few Mississippi and Louisiana men may have been added as the group traveled from Georgia to Texas. Since Soloman changed to the Winn Company, and since Winn was from Gwinnett County, GA, I suspect Soloman may also have been from Gwinnett County. Perhaps he knew some men from that company and that was why he changed. For a while, Wadsworth, reported him as a deserter.
