soldier's "having been killed with Fannin." Conclusion: The
Court of Claims seems to have been satisfied that "Coulson,
John (alias William S.)," and "Colston, John (alias William
S.) ," were the same person. It is likely also that this was the same
person as Davenport's "William John Colston," but it seems likely
that there was another member of Fannin's command named
William S. Carlson.
CARUTHERS, JAMES-This name is not on the Almanac list nor
the Davenport roll. The heirs of James Caruthers received dona-
tion certificate No. 364 from the adjutant general on September
2, 1851, for 640 acres. This certificate was lost and duplicate cer-
tificate No. 3o/174 was issued on February 6, 1873, by the com-
missioner of the General Land Office. The duplicate certificate
does not give the military service, but on pages 84 and 85 of
"Register of Donation and Scrip," (MSS. in General Land Office)
beside this name and certificate number is written "Goliad."
GLO File Bexar Bounty No. 1572 has bounty warrant No. 930
for 192o acres issued on September 2, 1851, to the heirs of James
Caruthers for "his having been massacred with Fannin at Goliad."
Both the Almanac list and Davenport list have a "Ewing Caruth-
ers," but Land Office records show him to be another person. See
GLO File Gonzales Donation No. 178 and GLO File Gonzales
Bounty No. 184.
CONLEY, THOMAS H.-The Almanac has a "Corbys, Thomas
H.," and Davenport has a "Cosby, Thomas H.," but neither has
"Conley, Thomas H." The heirs of Thomas H. Conley received
donation certificate No. 327 for 640 acres from the adjutant gen-
eral on June 17, 1851. This certificate was lost and the commis-
sioner of the General Land Office issued duplicate certificate No.
30/97 on October lo, 1872. The duplicate does not give the
service, but on pages 82 and 83 of "Record. Donation and Scrip"
in the General Land Office, beside this name and certificate
number is written "Goliad." GLO File Red River Bounty No. 131
contains bounty warrant No. 864 issued to the heirs of Thomas
H. Conley by the adjutant general on June 18, 1851, "for his
having fallen with Fannin."526
