The memoirs of my great-great-great grandmother - Clarinda Pevehouse Kegans


"I will never forget the day we heard about the Alamo -- our friends dead. it was sad, sad. Papa joined the Army and I was so scared for him to go. But about two weeks later he came home in the middle of the night to wake us up and tell us that Colonel Fannin and his men at Goliad had been shot. He said we would have to leave that very day for Louisiana. Words fail me when I try to explain my fear for all of us but especially Papa. I loved him so much."

  1. John, I was wondering how much information you have on the lineage of Alexander Hodge. He is my 6th Great Grandfather and I'm just doing some personal research.
