I have recently been searching for the origins of Marcus L. SEWELL born in England in (about) 1805. A shoemaker by trade. He arrived in New Orleans and travelled to Texas where he settled in Gonzales. On 23rd Feb. 1836 he joined the Gonzales Ranging Company and rode to the relief of the Alamo at St. Antonio. This group arrived there on 1st March and Marcus was killed in the battle on 6th March 1836.
I have tried in vain to find his place of birth in England. Can anyone out there
track him down?
