who had been Colonel Fannin's Commissary, was spared under the name "Bills." He died at Goliad, after a short illness, before the other Texan prisoners escaped. Vose was later a "Béxar" prisoner; Rosenbury was killed as a member of the Santa Fé Expedition; and White was again captured by the enemy at Mier. Nicholas Fagan and Francis Dieterich, after having been spared at Refugio on March 16, were at Goliad, as prisoners, on March 27, and were again spared.

All of these men came to Texas with Captain Peyton S. Wyatt's Company, but were not returned as members of that company, nor of any other company, on Colonel Fannin's muster rolls for February 29-March 1, 1836. Eadock, or Eddick, and John Ward signed the memorial of the volunteers at Refugio to the Washington Convention about February 5, after Captain Wyatt's departure for the United States. The heirs of Chambers, and of both Wards (not related) were granted bounty and donation lands for their having been "Killed with Fannin," on proof that these soldiers came to Texas with Captain Wyatt's Company; never returned; and were never heard from by friends or relatives after the killing of Colonel Fannin's men. Hamlet's heirs made similar proof. Nothing has been found in the official records, or elsewhere, to explain their fate.
