José María Esparza, better known as Gregorio Esparza
Francisco Esparza, Gregorio's brother, by his own admission a member of the local Mexican "presidial" company of the Alamo until the capitulation of Cos, requested and was granted permission to enter the Alamo and search for his brother's body after the siege. In company with his two brothers, he took the body and interred it in the Campo Santo on the west side of San Pedro Creek. Thus Gregorio Esparza received a Christian burial, unlike the others slain in the battle.
