Signed "13 de Mayo de 1834" The signatures of Williamson as "presidente" and Travis as "s'rio" (secretario) certifies that the document is a true copy of a deed issued to Isaac E. Robertson earlier on May 6, 1834.

Travis was elected secretary to the Ayuntamiento of San Felipe de Austin in 1834. He was the lieutenant colonel in charge of the Alamo during the siege by Antonio López de Santa Anna and the Mexican Army. Travis died when the Mexican Army stormed the Alamo on March 6, 1836. |
