I have information written by a woman who says she was at the Alamo in 1836. She claims to have met both Crockett and Bowie. She was an 11 year-old child when her family was moving from Matamoros back east via Texas and the Alamo compound. None of her family is listed as known survivors.

Can anyone suggest how I might prove/disprove this claim? I am writing an article on her very interesting family and this is one of the more unusual stories......

Thanks,

Could you possibly share some of this information on the forum. Perhaps her statements could be compared to known facts and confirmed or disregarded. Regardless, it would be wonderful to read of this potentially explosive information.

Additional research (an account written by this woman's younger sister late in life) says that her sister, her mother, and other siblings were at a Spanish Mission in 1836, but not the Alamo. I have documentation they were at Refugio. I would be interested in knowing more about the captives at Refugio. This family was taken back to Matamoros after the mother communicated to Mexican officers that her husband was a Mason.

Thanks anyway,
