seen often on the List. Audrey

Captain James HOUSTON's Muster Roll:
John CALDWELL and others.
"The brave CHRONICLE (Major) fell mortally wounded, receiving a fatal ball in the
breast. Almost at the same time, Capt John MATTOCKS and Lieutants William RABB and John
BOYD, also fell. Major CHRONICLE was on about twenty-five years old at the time of his
death. The late Capt Samuel CALDWELL and his brother William (CALDWELL), were both in
this battle. William CALDWELL brought home Major CHRONICLE's horse; his sword and
spurs passed into the hands of his half brother, James MC KEE, and venerated memorials are
still in possession of one of his sons, who moved many years ago to Tennessee."
Notes on Captain Alexander DAVIDSON.
"He well remembers that the commission of his grand father, as captain of this
company, and a diary of his services during the war of the Revolution, were in the
possession of his father's family until 1851 when they were taken to Washington City
by the late Hon. J. P. CALDWELL and were not returned."
