A Critical Study of the Siege of the Alamo
The name J. Jackson appears on a number of the former rolls
of Alamo victims. Some of these rolls give merely
Jackson.
Olamio, George. George Olamio, from Georgia, took the
oath of allegiance to the Texas government before John Forbes
at Nacogdoches, January 14, 1836 (Muster Rolls, p. 117). Ex-
cept for this record of enlistment no trace can be found of this
man in any document or source for Texas history. He enlisted
along with Crockett's men, and it is possible that he joined
Crockett's band of soldiers when they left Nocogdoches and that
he died with them at the Alamo. Almost all lists of Alamo vic-
time give the name " Lanio," sometimes it is written
" Lamio." The only two names for which this can be
a variant are those of Peter Lanio, and George Olamio. Peter
Lanio was still living in 1869. It is possible that George Olamio
was an Alamo victim.
Spratt, John. On some lists this name is given as Wil-
liam Spratt. Gray gives simply Spratt, Muster Rolls,
p. 25 ("Breece's Men and what became of them"), gives John
Spratt as an Alamo victim. No further information has been
found. It is possible, though I believe hardly probable, that one
Spratt fell at the Alamo.
Pixon, John. Several lists give the name of John Nixon,
W. P. Zuber to William Steele, September 24, 1877, Adjutant
General's Miscellaneous Papers (also see notes under
Ingram), says this name is John Pixon. Nothing further has
been found concerning either John Pixon, or John Nixon.
Warner, . It is also possible that one Thomas S.
Warner fell at the Alamo. The name Warner is listed
by the Telegraph and Texas Register, March 24, 1836, by
E. M. Pease in 1878, by J. J. Linn in 1881, and by others.
Frank Templeton gives the name as Stanley Warner, and I San
Augustine, 42, seems to indicate that he was right, but the evi-
dence is not definite, and no other document or statement has
been found to verify the inference.
