and nearly all of Pearson's, returned to San Patricio, while Grant went with the better mounted men, to the Camargo ranchos for more horses.

Urrea surprised Johnson's party at San Patricio, on the morning of Feb. 27th, in the midst of a cold norther and rain. No guards were posted, and Johnson's men, in the town, were sleeping in three widely separated houses. Pearson was with a party of eight men who were surrounded and summoned to surrender, but Pearson opened fire and encouraged his men to resist. They killed one of the enemy and wounded four, but were soon compelled to surrender, and most of them, including Pearson, were shot or lanced as they came out to give themselves up.
 

The name of L. T. Pease appears on Land Office copy of muster roll, Bullock's Company, with the note, "Escaped, died since at Velasco." His pay for six months was drawn Sept. 4, 1836 by E. M. Pease, on certificate of F. S. Sawyer, clerk, War Department, dated July 26, 1836, that L. T. Pease's name appeared on muster roll of Captain U. J. Bullock as having enrolled Dec. 23d; together with an affidavit of J. P. Trezevant of Bullock's Company that L. T. Pease was attached to that company, went with it from Velasco to Copano, and was with it when it retreated from the Mission Refugio. [CMSR No. 871; Brigham's No. 413, State Library.]

The article on "Texas and the Texian Revolution" in Senator Niles' "South America and Mexico" published at Hartford, Connecticut in 1837, was written by "Hon. L. T. Pease", almost assuredly a connection of the soldier, L. T. Pease.
