The Alamo Defenders: Lemuel Crawford

CRAWFORD, LEMUEL

(1814-1836)

Born in South Carolina, enlisted in the service of Texas in early October 1835 and served until December 26 of that year as an artilleryman under Col. James C. Neill.  It is believed he took part in the siege of Bexar. Crawford reenlisted on February 11, 1836, and served in the Alamo garrison, probably as a member of Capt. William R. Carey's artillery company. He died in the battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836.
