Well, You are way ahead of me, so this even fits James in a particular company and that he
was down at Perote Castle - 900 miles south of Laredo. This Castle was entirely built of
stone and brick and accountings say that it was difficult to pick it out from the
surrounding rock as you approached it. I know that there were birds of central America
here, so you are getting the flavor of Central America.
I would say that if you have James H. Calvert's name listed, you have definite reason
to believe that this is indeed your James H. as it was listed this way in Buster's Co
Record as a prisoner. I will look and see if it discusses any grants of land in Lone Star
but I don't think it does--I need a better more detailed secondary record, perhaps
from Houston's papers; this would likely be in a secondary ref. and I might be able to
find it online via Houston PL - Clayton Genealogy Library is one of the best in the
country. We have a fellow Calvert researcher that does part-time there and I have access
to what is online and will check.
