The Alamo Defenders: Juan Antonio Badillo

BADILLO, JUAN ANTONIO
(?-1836)

A native Texan, Juan Antonio Badillo, was among the many Texans who enlisted for six months of service.  He fought under Capt. Juan A. Seguin in the Siege of Bexar, and then accompanied his Capt. to the Alamo in February, 1836. 

When Seguin was sent out to rally reinforcements, Badillo remained behind and became involved in the battle of the Alamo and subsequently died on March 6, 1836.
