doing some digging on family history and found this.
George Tumlinson (b. 1814 MO) who was a member of the Gonzales Alamo Relief Force and died in the Alamo 6 Mar 1836. He is thought to also have had another son John Tumlinson (b. 1810) who fought at the Battle of San Jacinto, but this may be confused with cousin Capt. John J. Tumlinson.Ann and James Tumlinson had one son, Samuel, who was born 12 May 1832 and died 19 Dec 1846. Stepdaughter Ann Eliza Cardwell was interviewed by the Galveston News (Reporter Mr. S.M. Le Sesne) about her experiences in the critical days of the Texas Revolution in Gonzales, she told of the fall of the Alamo, described that they traded with sites in Columbia and Nacogdoches and an armed escort would have to accompany the trading parties to resist Indian attacks. Her family was close friends of Stephen F. Austin, "Three-Legged Willie" and other distinguished statesmen of the period. She related that her family received Mrs. Emily Dickinson who was the only Anglo survivor at the Alamo at the family home in Gonzales [original article quoted Mrs. Emily Dickinson, likely referring to Susannah Wilkerson Dickinson--WLM]. While escaping from the Mexican army which was crossing through the country after the Alamo defeat, members of her family could see both the Texas and Mexican armies near San Jacinto.
Knew about Capt. John J Tumlison. but not about George his cousin.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_McAlpin_WilliamsonActually Three Legged Willie had closer ties to Bastrop county than to his namesake co. He was never slowed down by his affliction especially on horseback. It was said he could cut the rug too!

Neal, I’ll be there as a non-combatant. Me and another fellow are the Statler and Waldorf doubles. Our historical personna is old geezer.
