applied for his lands. [See Ehrenberg's narrative, and Letter of Peter Mattern to "High Government of Texas."] Adolphus Sterns of Nacogdoches administered on his estate and collected his pay May 22nd, 1838. [CMSR, No. 7583, Archives, State Library.]
 

From LOMR of Captain John Chenoweth's Company it appears that James D. Elliot enrolled in that organization about Jan. 17, 1836. He signed the Convention Memorial with the Volunteers at Refugio about Feb. 5, 1836. There is no further record of him as a member of Fannin's Command. He served with Lamar's cavalry at San Jacinto.
 

This name appears only as "J. E. Ellis" on the Land Office copy of Captain Shackelford's muster roll, but in letters of administration filed by John Gregg in collecting his pay, the full name is shown "James." The certificate of Barnard E. Bee, Secretary of War, on which he was paid, shows that he was massacred at Goliad, March 27, 1836. [CMSR, No. 5413, State Library.]
