There were Americans (that is US Citizens) like Crockett's band of adventurers. There were slaves present who were defenders and had a loyalty not to Texas but to their owners. There were no active duty American soldiers of the US Armed Forces present at the Alamo. Further, it must be noted that the defenders were not all former US Citizens who had been transplanted to Texas.

That exact number remains an unknown, but based on surnames is between 20 and 25 percent.
