other buildings are situated." On August 1, 1834, Judge David
G. Burnet granted Mrs. Peyton authority to sell two of the
negroes "that are of no value to said estate."
Mrs. Pe'yton's name appears in the minutes of the Consulta-
tion at San Felipe of November 19, 1835: "Mr. Palmer pre-
sented the account of Mrs. A. B. Peyton for oxen and waggon
pressed into service."5
That Mrs. Peyton continued to run the tavern until it was
burned in 1836 with the other buildings of San Felipe by order
of Captain Mosely Baker, is indicated by Dr. N. D. Labadie in
the Texas Almanac of 1859, in which he gives an account of the
San Jacinto campaign. He was a member of Captain Logan's
company, which passed through San Felipe on the way to join
Houston's army. The following is extracted from his narrative :
"The next morning, after having mounted, one Capt. Norton
of New York made us a big talk and was followed by compli-
mentary speeches from some others, as we were paraded opposite
Mrs. Peyton's public house; and our appearance being rather im-
posing, all concluded we would do good service. Mrs. Peyton,
having gathered around her as many of her sex as she could,
they all presented themselves in her gallery where they gave us
repeated cheers, waving their handkerchiefs incessantly as we
left."
After the burning of San Felipe Mrs. Peyton moved to Co-
lumbia, where in 1836 she was married to Captain Jacob Eberly,
a widower.
Captain Eberly and his first wife, Catherine Elgin, were mar-
ried in Kentucky, November 5, 1818, and to them were born
three children in Kentucky: Mary Elizabeth, Julia Ann, and
Robert E. The family emigrated to Texas in 1834 in company
with Jesse Pon and wife and William and Alfred G. Elgin.
The date of the first Mrs. Eberly's death has not been ascertained.
Captain Eberly served in the Army of Texas from March 20 to
June 20, 1836,' and was in command of a company of about fifty
men on Galveston Island at the time the battle of San Jacinto
was fought. Captain Eberly and family moved from Columbia
