Dan, I did the transcription and you are welcome to put a copy on your [Lumpkin County] webpage. You might want to include links to: 1. My index to muster rolls in case your viewers want to see if any of the men served in other units or want to know more about the archive source A10.
2. Sam W. Haynes' Introduction, which tells a little about General Thomas Jefferson Green's military service in Texas before the ill-fated Mier Expedition:
JOURNAL of the TEXIAN EXPEDITION AGAINST MIER, Gen. Thomas J. Journal of the Texian Expedition Against Mier Capt. Parker's service under Gen. Green occurred after the last big battle of the Texas Revolution (Battle of San Jacinto in April), so his period of service hasn't gotten very much attention from the historians, except there is some discussion in AFTER SAN JACINTO: The Texas-Mexican Frontier 1836-1841, Joseph Milton Nance, Univ. of Texas Press, Austin, 1963. Although Capt. Parker's company wasn't in a battle, its presence kept the Mexican Army from returning. 3. Some of the men's names might be in the Index to Republic Claims at the Texas State Library and Archives website:
Hope this helps, Dave |
