There was the cook named Bettie, while Charlie, Joe and Sam are named and were all slaves. These mentioned individuals all survived because they were assumed like the women and children to have all been non combatants. Travis' slave Joe did participate in the fighting and insisted that there were other blacks present among the Texian soldiers who were free men, but Texas History makes no mention of this fact. (Southern historians, and historians in general, made a serious effort to downplay any favorable mention of Blacks and people of mixed races.) The number of Mexican Texians is also rarely mentioned but they were numerous and probably accounted for no less than 20 percent of the combatant's.
