Republic of Texas Supreme Court Justice and Texas Ranger (1804?–1859). At the age of 15, he contracted tubercular arthritis that caused his right leg to permanently stiffen at a 90-degree angle. In order to walk, a wooden leg had to be fastened to his knee. Because of this, he later acquired the nickname ‘Three-Legged-Willie.’ Despite this handicap, he organized a company of Rangers and participated in the Battle of San Jacinto. Manuscript DS, signed “R. M. Williamson,” one page, 8 x 5, October 8, 1838. Promissory note reads, in full: “Thirty days after date I promise to pay H. R. Dowdy as Bearer the sum of Three hundred and Sixty Dollars value received for work done on house up to date.” Intersecting folds, a vertical crease through small portion of signature, scattered toning and soiling, and mild edge wear, otherwise very good condition. The Robert Davis Collection.
