Post a Comment. April 29, Back in the double dark ages of , my classmates and I in Peggy Gray's sophomore English class at Greenville Senior High School in Greenville, Texas were informed we were going to do our first ever term paper. I have to admit, it really didn't interest me at all. However, once I realized that I was never going to find a way to weasel out of it, I decided it was going to have to be on a subject that interested me.

The Alamo. I stumbled on the name Rosanna E. The book said that this was the name of the wife that I had always heard that Colonel William Barret Travis, Commander of The Alamo, had abandoned in Alabama, when he skipped out on debts and lawsuits to find his fortune in the Northern Mexican State of Texas. He also had abandoned his young son, Charles Edward and his wife was pregnant with a child, later named Susan Isabella.

Now, I had known that my mother's maiden name was Cato, but her father Roy Lee Cato had died in , when Mama was only 3. And her younger brother, Harrold Bennett Cato, died by being crushed by a horse falling on him when he was just 15 days short of his 15th birthday in My grandmother had remarried long before I was born and her name changed to Allen.
