by John P. Borden, Lieutenant commanding Baker's Company, with the remark
"Allen Ingram has been in the service of Texas from Dec. 21, 1835 up to the present time, ... he has served his country faithfully and is now honorably discharged."
He was again discharged from the "Columbia Company" July 13, 1836, by David Murphree, First Lieutenant Commanding.
Details of his escape from the enemy do not appear. He was paid to March 22, 1837. [CMSR No. 749, State Library.] His name appears on Baker's roll at San Jacinto, and on the list of those wounded in action there. He was one of those who separated from Ward on the Guadalupe on March 21st, 1836, and thus succeeded in making his escape.

Milton Irish is one of three members of Pettus' Company -- the others being John C. Logan and William Brenan -- who neither came out with Grace's company, nor were original members of the New Orleans Grays. They signed the Convention Memorial, about February 5, 1836, in company with other members of the Grays.
There is an AGO certificate among the Land Office Archives which rates Irish as a member of Shackelford's Company, but this is clearly wrong, since he was at Goliad before Shackelford came, and that company, which was overfull, took on no recruits there.
