Battle of the Medina. He married a Mexican woman, became quite
wealthy and could speak hardly any English. Boon died about 1827 at
San Fernando. Gulick and others, Lamar Papers, IV, Pt. 1, 261; Noah

Aylett C. Buckner was born in Virginia. He returned to Texas in

present Fayette County, Texas, with Peter Powell and Oliver Buckner

The census of March, 1826, lists him as single, with four servants and
one slave. He refused to join Benjamin W. Edwards in the Fredonian
Rebellion. Buckner was killed in the Battle of Velasco on June 25,

Despallier (Despallia) was probably Bernardo Martin Despallier,
a Frenchman, who asked permission to settle in Texas in 1804 to
escape his enemies in Louisiana where he had held a military appoint-
ment under Carondelet in 1794. In 1823 he claimed land on the right
bank of Bayou Rapides based on evidence taken in 1813 that the land
had been under cultivation for the past sixteen years. He was expelled
from Texas for illegal trade with Natchitoches and developed a deep
hatred of Spanish officials. He was sent in pursuit of Zambrano after
the first skirmish west of the Sabine and was appointed captain over
those Mexicans who joined the expedition early. In addition, he served
as interpreter and gave valuable advice about the country. Hatcher,
