Manuscript DS, signed “Andrew J. Baker, Comm. Genl. Land Office,” two lighty-lined pages, conjoined at the top, both sides, 8.5 x 13.75, June 17, 1898. Headed at the top, “A list of those who fell with Fannin, Ward, Travis, Grant & Johnson during the War with Mexico in the years 1835 and 1836. A list of the names of those who fell in the Alamo at San Antonio de Bexar 6th March 1836.” The list is divided into three columns headed, “Name,” “Rank,” and “Where From.” First two entries are “W. Barrett Travis, Lt. Colonel, Commandant,” and “James Bowie,” with a ditto mark under Lt. Colonel ranking of Travis. Last entry in the lower border of the first page reads, “David Crockett, Private, Tennessee.” The 107 names listed include many from various US states, four from England, three from Ireland, two from Scotland, one from Wales, and one from Denmark. The document concludes “The foregoing list is not included in the General certificate Feb. 17, 1839. General Land Office, Austin, Texas, June 17, 1898. I, Andrew J. Baker, Commissioner of the General Land Office of the State of Texas, do hereby certify that the above and foregoing is a true and correct copy of the writing as appears on pages 1, 2, and 3 of a Volume of Muster Rolls, which said volume is kept as an archive of this office.” An embossed General Land Office seal is located to the left of the signature. In very good condition, with horizontal folds, uniform toning, scattered light soiling and creasing, and pencil notations next to some of the entries. Most of the muster rolls for the Texas Revolution were destroyed in a fire which swept through the Adjutant General’s office on October 10, 1855. The General Land Office did, however, have copies of most of the original rolls and it was from these that this list was compiled.
