As fitly succeeding the Muster Roll
I send you a.letter which was first pub-
lished in the "Voice of Sumpter" (Liv-
utgston Alabama) of Nov. 29 1S39.
Having formed the acquaintance of Mr.
Broxn soon after bis return from Mex
ico I suggested to him the propriety of
pnbhshing a narrative ot his adven-
tures in the shape of a letter to Thos.
Ward. Esq. broiherof ihe late Colonel
Ward of the Tcxian army. He con-
sented and the letter came forth. View-
ing it as a piece of history to be relied
-on. I desire you to give it circulation in
your columns. Mr. Brown was a young
gentleman of intelligence and vivacity.
He is now dead. I always attributed
the kindness with which he was treate'd
'.by the Mexican General to his rare per-
sonal' bea'uty; his dark piercing eye
bronze complexion and graceful figure
giving him the appr-arauce of a Span-
ish cavalier.. He was a native of Geor-
gia und nephew of Col. Ward. "

. tbaiservice" of .Texas :-under the com-
i2?imWkA .rf . t K"AtllA rlkk lalu PnTnn.1
Wm. Ward whose name will occupy
a place in history 1 have thought that
n. communication of mv advi-ntrires in
i.":form voa miplit nrese.rve. wuuld not
?"SrWs nnannantuhla ir imnpnnni. All T
have in view is to give the facts which
came within my personal observation
and knowledge; and if they can be
deemed of interest as occurring to one
of my years (twenty at the present
time) I shall feel perfectly satisfied in
Jbaving them related.
About the 20th of November 1&35I
rJeft Macon in the stage for Columbus
irhere I joined Captain Ward's compa-
nv who had rendezvoused t that place
': from whence we marched to Montgo-
nery Alabama and took passage on
the steamer Ben Franklin for Mohib-.
Remaining in Mobile five or six days
near which a public dinner was given
as we embarked on the steamer Con-
. voy fcrt New Orleans where we halted
about a week arid received some addi-
" tion to our number making the com-
S layabout one hundred and fifty strong
ere Capt. Ward laid in supplies for
' his men. and chartered the schooner
Pennsylvania to take them to Velasco.
' where we arrived on the 20th Decern-
. ber 1835 and found Captain Wards-
f worth's company fifty strong and the
-companies were organized into a bat -tellion
of which Capt. Ward was elect-
-eT'cd Maior. called the Georgia Raltnllion.
- . o
Si- 4?lPa'n Ward's original company was
Ul'iuru iiiiu iwu rAjuai pan:" no ucai as
practicable the command or one was
given to Capt Uriah J. Bulloch ol Ma-
con. and that of the othei to Capt. Jas.
C.t'Wynne of Gwinette county. Maj.
Ward loetjio time in reporting hiscom-
v tnnnd to Gov. Smith at San Philip de
Austin. We encamped about two miles
from Velasco on the Brazos river where
we subsisted on the two month's provi-
sions laid in at New Orleans. After a
wj-; tj -weeks absence to th'e" seat of Govern-
mnx. Maior Ward returned with the
.eoramissi'ins of the. several officers.
"We. remained near Velasco until the
v 1st of February 1836 when the bat-
taUiion was ordered by the then acting
Governor. Robinson to repair to Go-
liad on the San AntO'iio river and it
was forthwith transported by the schoo-
ner Columbus U. S. vesscl"to Copano.
on Aransas Bay after a five days' pas-
sage. There we were furnished with
provisions -by the Government and four
pieces of artillery two six and-tvvo four
pounders. From Copano to Goliad the
distance is forty-five mi Iesr and about
half way the battaliion baited at the
Mission where we were joined by
Captain Ticknor's company of Mont-
- gomerynAla.: making our ranks about
two hundred and fiity strong. Thence
"we marched to Goliad took possession
y-i-- ana rcpaircu me ion. nu were jmuru
; by tbe Jjafayette -battaliion made up
.frm North Alabama Tennessee. and
H Kentocky. Previous to this the la
mented Colonel Fannin had not taken
any part in the service but was active
ly engaged in collecting and diffusing
information -highly useful to the cause
of Texas. At Goliad the two battal-
lions were formed into a regiment be-
tween five and six hundred strong' of
which Fannin was elected Colonel and
Ward Lieutenant Colonel; Dr. Mitchell
of Columbus commanded the Georgia
battaliion in place of Major Ward
promoted.
For some purpose. Captain iting of
theLafayeite battaliion. had been dis-
patched by Col. Fannin to occupy the
Mission about twenty-two miles off
.wb'oToundjriraself annoyed by a party
of Mexican cavalry and sent an express
to Goliad for reinforcements. Lieuten
ant Colonel. Ward with one-bund red JjE.he
and twenty-hve men myselt among
them was directed by Col. Fannin to
support Captain King at the Mission.
This was on. the 12th of March and
'the next day Lieut. Col. Ward's com
mand reached the Mission at which a
large Mexican church built of stone
made a very good fort in which we
took protection. The Mexican caval-
ry that reconnoitered the Mission and
tried to attack it were estimated at two
hundred; and on the night of the 13th
a party of thirteen men under Captain
Ticknor surprised their camp a mile
from the Mission killing eight of them
and putting the rest to flight. Among
the slain was recognized a Mexican
Lieutenant who had been with Colonel
Fannin at Goliad pretending to have
joined the Texians with eighteen men.
On the morning of the 16th. Lieut.
Col. Ward and Capt. King differed as
to who commanded at the Mission the
latter claiming it by being there first.
A large majority of the troops declared
they would serve under Col. Ward on-
ly which induced Capt. King with his
original company of twentyeight men
to withdraw. and was followed by eigh-
tee; of Ward's c rnmnnd ntho had been
detailed from Bradford's company at
Goliad leaving Ward one hundred.and
seven men. About ten o'clock in. the
morning a party of fifteen with myself
was sent to the river about two hun-
dred and fifty yards off with oxen and
cart to bring up two barrels of water
to the fort. We had just filled the ves-
sels and were leaving the river when

we. were fired upon from an open prai-
rie on the other side 'by Gen. Urrea's
army of eleven hundred m6n about a
half mile distant. We made all possi
file speed for the foft holding on to the
water except about a half barrel which
was lost by a ball piercing one of the
barrel heads. The enemy kept firing
as they crossed the river and marched
up within fifty yards of the church
when the order was given to fire which
drove the Mexicans back and le.fr the
ground pretty well spotted with their
dead and wounded. They made four
regular charges both cavalry atid in-
fantry about half of each and were as
often repulsed with great slaughter.
About four onfive o'clock in the" af-
ternoon they retreated leaving four or
five hundred of their dead upon tbe
field. Col. Ward had only three men
wounded one of" them an Irishman
who resided at the Mission. When
the attack was made in the morning
Colone1 Ward sent an express (James
Humphrey of Columbus Ga.) to Col.
Fannin at Goliad and orders were re-
ceived at 10 o'clock that night to aban-
don the church and take a northeast
course for Victoria on the Guadalupe
twenty miles from Goliad where Col.
Fannin would join him. At 12 o'clock
at night we left the fort formed five
deep inarched without a guide into the
open prairie and were only eight miles
from the fort at day-light; For two.
days we had nothing to eat but on the
third we killed some cattle near the San.
Antonio which revived us a good "deal.
On the 2lst of March we reached Vic-
toria and had advanced to within one-
hundred and fifty yards of the town ex-
pecting to find Col. Fannin and his men
there when to our utt.er dismay it was
in possession of the enemy who fired
upon us causing us to retreat into the
swamp. Col Fannin" had" set out to
meet us in due time hut his whole
command was captuied bya large force
within six miles ot Uo1iad-and carried
back to the fort. We had expended all
our ammunition in the battle at the Mis-
sion and very few of our men bad a
cartridge left! In this dilemma we
marched at night for Dimmit's Point
in the Lavaca river near Matagorda
Bay. where supplies were landed for
Texian troops.
Next day March 22nd we halted to
rest and concealed ourselves within
two miles of our destination sending
two msn to tbe Point to see who was
in possession and awaited their return.
The remnant of the Mexican army that
had attacked the Mission' were hover-
ing over this quarter; under Gen.XJr-.
rea took the two men prisoners and
surrounded us. The two men came
within speaking distance of us stated
our situation and the power qf -the ene-
my and desired CoL Ward to see Gen.
Urrea on the terms of surrender upon
which he in company with Maj. Mitch-
ell and Cant Ticknor. had an interview
with Gen. Urrea and returned .making.
known to us the otter ot the enemy that
ii we surrendered prisoners of war we

proposed that theattkcu en 'us might
be evaded until nightjiflien" we might
possibly pass the .enerhw Unes and get
out of danger. Atall'htsi he thought
it best to resist everyb"j as many of
us could save our&elvwVnd if we sur
rendered he bad doabyipfsthe faith and
humanity
feared
vole"i
and a large maiorrtv were in (favor of
surrendering upon the terms proposed..
Col.Ward informed' them :hat their
wishes should govern but if they were
destroyed no blame could rest on him.
The same officers as before- to wit :
Col. Ward Maj. Mitchell .and Captain
Ticknor again saw Gen. Urrea and I
understood that a paper was signed by
the Mexican General to dispose of us
in the manner above' stated on condi-
tion that we should never serve Texas
any more ; one copy of the instrument
in Spapish and the other in English.
Then came the' hour for us to see. ill of
our hopes blasted. We marched out in
order and grounded arms. Our guns
were fired off the flints-taken out and
returned to us to carry. When W3 left
the Mission on the night of the 14th of
March; we had about one hundred men;
at the time we surrendered we had on-
ly eighty-five the. rest having left as on
the route from the Mission to Victoria;
a most unfortunate thing for then. We
were put under a strong guard snd the
next morning. 23d of March proceeded
to Victoria where we were engaged
the next day in bringing the baggage
of the Mexican army .across the Gua-
dalupe about four hundred yards from
the town and hauling it up. On the
morning of tbe 25th we were imarched
towards Goliad where we arrived late
the next evening. Here we found Col.
Fannin and his men prisoners in the
fort. All the Texian troops then in the
fort prisoners; belonging to Col. Fan-
nin's command after we were brought
in amounted to four hundred and eigh-
ty men. Early on the morning of the
27th we were mustered into line and
cnunt'ed 'and divides! intol .tbursjequal
parties of a hundred and twenty each.
That nearest the door of the fort was
marched out first and received by a
strong guard placed in double file go-
ing we knew not where or for what
purpose. I was in (his division in the
right had file. At the distance of a
half mile from the fort we were halt-
ed ; the guard on the right passed to
the left and instantly fiied upon the
prisoners"nearly all of whom fell and
the few survivors tried to escape by
flight oyer the prairie and concealing
themselves in the weeds. The firing
continued and about th'e same time I
heard other firing'towards the fort and
cries ol distress.
At the time-our. division of prisoners
was shot. Drury H. Minor of Houston
county Ga. immediately on my left
was killed; and just before me next in
file Thomas F. Freeman qf Macon
was also killed. As I ran off I observ-
ed several poor fellows who had been
wounded trying to hide in the clumps
of weeds and grass but were pursued
1 presume and killed. Soon after I
made' my escape l.wasjoined by John.
uuvai ana Holliday ot tne Ken-
tucky volunteers both of whom: were
with me at the massacre but not until
after I had swam across the San An-
tonio river about a mile from the
butchery.
For five days we had nothing to eat
xcept wild onions which abound in
the country; oh reaching the Guada
fupe we found a nest of young pigs
and these lasted us several days. Wan-
dering at random over the open coun-
try often wide from our supposed di-
rection we saw fresh signs of cavalry
and withdrewTo"'tBe wamp ; but we
had been perceived going there and
were taken by two Mexicans armed
with guns and swords that is IJuyal
and myself were captured; Hollidaylay
close andtwas not discovered. One qf
the men seized me and held on; Duval
wa? placed between them to follow.
He sprang off-' and' one of them threw
down his gun to pursue him but in
vain. Duval made; his escape I have
not seen him since. I was taken to
their camp close by when they saddled
their horses in a hurry and rode off with-
out me. From their; actions 1 judged
they were of opinion n party of Texians
was near and so made off. I returned
to the swamp again and found Holli-
day in his old position. 'Next day we
came to a deserted house on the'Lava-
ca river apparently that of an Ameri
can settler where we found plenty of
provisions such as meat corn lard
-butter and eggs and feasted upon these
two days camping at night a little ways
off". Taking a good supply of provi-
sions along we traveled quite refresh-
ed and in four days reached the Colo-
rado. From almost constant rain and
exposure I had lost theiiie of my right
arm and shbuldef and cdulb! not swim
the river. Holliday swam across with
the provisions promising to return and
help me ; but he was so exhausted by
the cold and rapid current that he was
not able to do so. Thus we parted and
I never saw him again.
I went up. the river and next day
found a canoe in which I crossed and
then wandered about until I came in
sight of the Brazos on the 10th of April
'when 1 was taken by a party xffiMexi-
can cavairywno cameu me tome main
army under Gen. Siesmjryat'EoVr Be'ntl
and put-me under guard withother pri-
soners they had -picked up. ' I can re-
collect the names of but three of them
and they had resided several years in
Texas Johnson Leach and Simpson.
Fort Bend was about 20 miles from
Sah- Jacintoj-Awhere the .battle was
fought4he nexUlay (21st of April.) i
The night after the battle a Mexican
officer who had escaped from San Ja-
cinto brought the news into camp and
the army instantly retreated. When I
arrived at the camp I pulled off my
boots to dry and relieve my swollen
feet ; my boots were stolen and I had
to march barefooted through the mud
and water nearly knee-deep all over
the prairies the rain falling in torrents
pretty much all the time. The army
returned to Victoria where I found
tour of the Macon company who had
been retained there after the surrender
on account of their being mechanics
Wm. Wilkinson J. Kinnemore Barn-
well and Callahan.
I was then taken to Goliad where I
remained five days and saw the place
where the four divisions of prisoners
had been butchered ; some of the car-
casses remained many burnt and oth-
ers mangled all so disfigured that I
could recognize no particular person.
A company of eighty-two men from
Tennessee under Capt. Miller of Tex-.
as who had been taken prisoners the
moment they landed at Copano and
whom we left in the fort at Goliad at
the massacre still remained there on
my return. One of its members Mr.
Coy fold me the particulars of Ward
and Fannin's death being an eye-witness.
After the privates had been shot
the time of the officers came. Colonel
Ward was ordered to kneel which he
refused to do ; he was told if he would
kneel his life might be.spared. He re-
plied that they bad killed his men in
cold blood and he did not desire to live;
death would be welcome. He was
then shot dead. Fannin made an ad
dress to tne Mexican othcer in com
mand by an interpreter ; handed him
his gold watch to be sent to his (Col.
F.'s) wife and also a purse to the offi-
cer to have him decently buried. He
sat on a chair tied his handkerchief
about his eyes and requested that he
might not be shot in the head and that
the marksmen should stand far enough
off for thej)ovvder not'to burn hjm.
Leaving Goliad in the month of May
with a dozen other Texian prisoners
under a guard attached to the main ar
my tnen .three thousand strong we
marched to San Patricio on tbe Nue
ces river where Cols Teale and Carnes
of the Texas service came under a flag
of truce and obtained passports to go
to Matamoro.s at which place Colonel
Teale informed me I should be dis-
charged. I was kept with the main ar-
my until Gen; Filisola received orders
from Mexico to hasten there. He took
with him a body guard through the In-
diancountry about fifty cavalry who
.had charge of me ever since I left Go-
liad and they still held on to me.
Gen. F. left his body guard at Saltil-
lo and took the stage "for the city of
Mexico where the cavalry arrived with
me their only prisoner in August 'J?6.
I was then confined in the Quartede.or
barracks until the first of Feb'y 1837
and about that time Gen- F. expected
to leave the city to take command of
the army at Matamoras'. His intepre-
ter an Italian named Quarri often vi-
sited the barracks and treated me with
the greatest humanity. He said he
would get my release and took me to
Gen. Filispla's house to accompany
him to Matamoras. .From some delay
he did not start until the 28th of March.
during which time I was a member of
his family and treatpd with perfect kind-
ness under the orders however for my
own safety it was said not to leave
the guard alone.
Whilst in confinement in the city of
Mexico I was kept in the barracks
with a number of Mexican prisoners
who were confined for various offences
and from the time I entered in August
1836 until I went to General Filisola's
house in February of the following
year I had no other food than boiled
beef. The water in the barracks was
fresh and pure brought there by an
.aqueduct which supplies the whole city
from the mountain." twelve miles dis-
tant. On the 20th of March last I left the
city of Mexico in company with Gen.
Filisola his staff and a small guard
and arrived at Matamoras the first of
June a distance of nine hundred miles
from one place to the other. On the
17th of June Gen. Filisola gave me a
passport and on ihe first of July I era-
barked -for New Orleans where I ar-
rived in due time.
