Martin Moran was discharged by Mirabeau B. Lamar, Secretary of War, May 18, 1836, at Velasco, "In consideration of the great hardships endured by the Georgia Battalion ... with the approbation of this department." This was based on the joint affidavit of Joseph Callaghan and John C. P. Kennymore

"that Martin Moran, who is now present was one of the soldiers belonging to Captain Winn's Company, Georgia Battalion; that he, the said Moran, is of good moral character; that his behaviour as a soldier was honorable to him; that he was separated by accident from Col. Ward's command the sixth day after the battle at the Mission; and that he was subsequently taken by the enemy as a prisoner, and made his escape; and that his company have with few exceptions been killed by the enemy -- Deponents are of the same battalion and have been prisoners together in the service of Texas."

Benjamin H. Mordecai was one of the few Hebrews in Fannin's command. When Ward and his men, as prisoners, came to Victoria on March 23d, Mordecai was too badly used up to travel further, and Urrea left him there. Consequently he later effected his escape.

He was killed by Indians, in 1840, near Victoria.  [See Thomas J. Smith's narrative, condensed by John Henry Brown; affidavit of Thomas G. Stewart of Bullock's Company, June 16, 1836; CMSR No. 485; Brigham's, No. 47.]
