∙ 13y agoBrigido Guerrero who had deserted the Mexican Army in December of 1835 to join the Texans managed to convince the Mexican Army that he had been held prisoner by the Alamo defenders. Black males like the slave Joe who was the property of William B, Travis were spared since they were assumed to have been noncombatants. The number of slaves present and what their roles were in the defense of the Alamo is also unknown. Joe insisted that others who had fought were black, but his testimony was largely ignored.
One child was mistaken for an adult in the gloom of the chapel and he was killed but the rest survived. As an adult Anglo, the testimony of Susanna Dickinson was believed but the other women were Hispanic and they were not asked for testimony.
There were also numerous couriers who are considered as survivors
