GOOD, ISHAM J.Private
AgeWadsworth's Company

Isham J. Good was returned "AWOL" on Captain Wadsworth's muster roll, but was honorably discharged by Mirabeau B. Lamar, Secretary of War, on May 17, 1836, in consideration of "fidelity and valor" and "also the extreme sufferings which he has had to encounter in the service of Texas." He was eventually paid for his services from Dec. 23, 1835 to May 23, 1836 with no explanation of the "AWOL."

He became an influential and respected citizen of Texas. [CMSR, No. 7606.] In December, 1851, he was a resident of Caldwell county, and made affidavit at Lockhart, on Dec. 15th, as to James H. Neeley's long residence in Texas and service in 1835 and 1836. [MDS, No. 34, File Box 69.] He was probably one of those who separated from Ward's command on the Guadalupe, and, in consequence, escaped.
