Before which time Mr. Oiserand Mr. Dunsean, ministers, lived on the said land as belonging to the Church (or as Glebe land) that Indian Cooper gave, & further saith not." (Signum)

Buried:
A crypt in the San Fernando Cathedral purports to hold the ashes of the Alamo defenders. Historians believe it is more likely that the ashes were buried near the Alamo.

The Alamo defenders, their bodies were piled together in three mounds in different parts of the plaza, and burned.
There was a young boy who lived in San Antonio in those days, who never forgot the sight of those funeral pyres. Many years later, as an old man, he could still recall in vivid detail the sickening stench and hideous sight of melted flesh on charred bones.
A year after the battle, Texas hero Juan Seguin visited the site and found some of these bones. They were entombed in San Fernando Cathedral, a short walk from the Alamo; the marble casket containing these remains can be seen to this day.
