check the "old " Texas history, you might just find the fellow who died in
Texas had a landgrant..........if they fought in the war (1810+) they were
given one, and went with Austin, if later, they could still be on a land
grant info for Texas..........I found one who went with Austin, of mine, but
some went later, search the web for Texas history.....then the cemeteries,
you just never know where one will turn up.....Goldie
